    Highly recommend this! The plot is roughly as follows: the male and female leads are engaged. The male lead comes from a very wealthy family and has been in love with the female lead since childhood. They've never met, but he always thinks of her and even goes abroad to train for her. Upon returning home, his first act to get closer to her is to make her his assistant. The female lead comes from a high-ranking family, but her mother died early, and her father neglected her. She grew up under the care of her grandparents. Due to childhood trauma, she lost some of her memories, including her first meeting with the male lead. She graduated from a prestigious university and later became a diplomat. For the female lead, their feelings developed gradually over time, but for the male lead, it was all premeditated. It's a strong, pure love story. The female lead has her own career, and the male lead is deeply in love with her, completely devoted to her, and deeply respects her. It's incredibly captivating! At the same time, the male lead is the female lead's savior.
