   Book recommendation! Today I'm featuring a book by a fan. —Following in his footsteps from youthful days to prime of life From high school to university and then to work, the female protagonist followed the male protagonist for many years. She knew early on that their journey together would end in separation, but she persisted until she could do nothing more. The male protagonist always believed that his marriage was nothing more than an equivalent exchange after weighing the pros and cons, and he did just that. It wasn't until the female protagonist completely disappeared from his life that he realized she had taken away the joy of his life, and from then on, life became long and meaningless. Then the male protagonist went to great lengths to begin a long and arduous pursuit of her. If the open methods don't work, then try the covert ones. At her classmate's birthday party, he took advantage of her being drunk and took her to bed. She couldn't describe how she felt afterwards. Regret and anger couldn't compare to the shock of the sexual experience he gave her. He had never seen her like this before. How could he do those things to her? Where is your usual impeccable attire? How dashing and debonair! In bed, he's wildly domineering, displaying boundless strength; off the bed, however, he acts pitiful, like a child who has done something wrong, anxiously awaiting punishment from an adult. They really have two faces. The novel is generally sweet, and even during their separation, they think of each other and share many delicious foods and beautiful sights. I hope everyone can have an immersive experience. Search for Ji Lanhui on Web or join the group (754691152) for the uncut version. The cut version and the uncut version are two completely different experiences. Those who want to read the book should definitely search for it on Web or join the group (754691152) to read the uncut version! Happy reading! 1

    Book 1: The female lead is a seductive beauty who initially marries the male lead for the sake of their child. Later, to "correct" his behavior (or perhaps "cultivate" him), she flirts with him in various ways. The male lead is initially oblivious to his feelings. After the female lead divorces him, the male lead disguises himself as an old servant and spends five years with her. Who could resist such a persistent pursuit? Highly recommended! Book 2: The female lead uses the male lead's photograph to repeatedly travel to his era, redeeming him. The male lead also schemes step by step, hoping to meet and stay with her in the future. Book 3: Both the male and female leads are clear-headed and have strong moral values. Initially, the male lead acts out of a sense of responsibility but never wrongs the female lead. Later, he endures torture to make her his legal wife. Book 4: The female lead is rumored to be the daughter of a treacherous minister. She is never a saint; her intelligence is always on point. She overthrows the emperor and kills the original female lead.
