    Three romantic storylines, three solutions to the same problem. Xiao Ruohua once argued in a debate, "Love rationally, and never lose yourself in love"—this statement later became the turning point of the entire book: Su Youli and Xiao Ruohua: They adhered to the same principle—not to be dependent or a burden. He didn't get close because he was afraid she would have an even harder time in the Chu family; she refused because she was afraid of becoming "Chu Yanhua" again. In the end, they were able to come together not because one convinced the other, but because the obstacles on both sides disappeared simultaneously. Chu Yanzhi: A sober fall in love. Every time he fell in love, it was accompanied by precise self-discipline. The sentence "I hope you don't get too involved" was said to her, but also to himself. Before the engagement banquet in Chapter 48, he silently told himself in the shadows, "A temporary attraction at first sight, it will pass"—this was the last seal he placed on himself. Chu Yanqing and Jin Yu: From "True love can overcome everything" to "I must first be qualified not to be manipulated." She went abroad, gave birth to a daughter, and registered the "YUE" studio. The most poignant aspect of this storyline is that she didn't find salvation; she grew into someone capable of protecting another. The scene where Yu Jiajia rejects Chu Yanzhi contains the most sobering line in the entire book: "Unrequited love is just wishful thinking. But after tasting the sweetness of that wishful thinking, losing it—that's an unforgettable pain. I don't want that kind of pain." This line provides a dignified ending for all those who "seek but cannot obtain." This book doesn't dwell on the glitz and glamour of wealthy families. There is a time for gathering, and a time for parting. Everything has its destination; only with the warmth of spring next year, the warmth of human life, and the promise of a better future year after year.

    The ultimate torment and entanglement: back then, if he wanted to break up, he had to endure her kissing someone else in front of him, feeling jealous without any official status. The seemingly innocent girl, actually cunning, kissed someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any official status. Dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she went abroad to study and returned for revenge. The innocent girl transformed into a wicked woman, constantly chasing after men, indulging in flirtation, smoking, and drinking—she was good at everything. Every substitute she found resembled him. She had a dream where he asked her if she loved him, but when she woke up, he was lying next to her. Hitting him became a reward for him. Her best friend asked if she remembered him. She said she didn't, but her best friend said she hadn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thought about him. How can one forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to become a heartless woman? Just the moment he dumped her, she changed. Her transformation into a heartbreaker was only superficial; he still took her virginity. She said she wanted to kiss a male model. So he could be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he even love her? She didn't understand why he had so cruelly dumped her back then. The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? He, her childhood sweetheart, had become a CEO. He begged her to have their child to tie her down. Could a person be so cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he would hold her and say he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Was it that being too greedy meant she could never have the one she loved most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck, asking if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy, which gave her a sense of triumph. He smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

    It's heartbreaking from beginning to end, every word pierces the heart. The whole story is sad, but it's very well written. Perhaps it's true, as the synopsis says, that your love has faded so much that I can't see it clearly, it's just an obsession. There's no mutual redemption, neither of you can save the other, but you both love each other too much. I cried until my chest ached. It's a truly heart-wrenching and tragic love story. As for the ending, you'll have to read it for yourselves. It's really good!!

    The entire episode of "Shockingly Delicious" had my heart pounding! The female lead is a young lady from a powerful sect, and the male lead is a boy rescued by her father. The female lead's spiritual veins are incomplete, requiring the male lead's dragon blood for nourishment. The male lead is a cute, puppy-like boy in the beginning, constantly clinging to his senior sister, but later becomes a complete madman. The female lead dreams of the original story (which doesn't actually happen), knowing there's no future with the male lead, and abandons him to seek his own path. The female lead is truly a broken beauty.

    This novel features a protagonist who suffers mutual torment. In the first volume, the female lead still feels some remorse towards the male lead, but in the second volume, they engage in a constant cycle of torment and mutual harm. The male lead is madly in love with the female lead while simultaneously hating her madly—hating her betrayal, hating that she pulled him from his unattainable position into the world of romance, only to push him into the abyss. The two are childhood sweethearts, separated by a conspiracy. In the four years since, the male lead has become incredibly powerful, returning to the country intending to control everything about the female lead. The bad news is: he has destroyed everything for the female lead, imprisoned her brother, and caused a misunderstanding that makes her hate him. The good news is: he loves her more than anyone else in the world; his love is intense, suffocating, and mad—deeper than anyone else's. The female lead: In just four years, he has become a madman, a madman who loves her more than anyone else. The male lead: I can forgive your nonsense, but not your betrayal. (I forgave you too, so why did you still leave me?)
