I’m looking for books similar to Jingluo Has No More Beauties. Please recommend stories about powerful families, with a big gap in status. The male lead can be from Beijing or somewhere else, and the heroine should be a student. Something like You Are Both the Long Night and the Light, Jingyuan, or Snow Over Beicheng. I really want to read something like these.

His purpose in getting close to her is simply to drag her into his schemes. This book is also quite good.

A mature man and woman locked in a tumultuous relationship. After a long separation, the male lead, proud and arrogant, knows the female lead likes him and subtly flirts with her until she confesses her feelings. However, he hesitates due to their social difference and rejects her. The female lead then realizes her mistake and lets go, leaving the male lead regretting it. His subsequent pursuit of her is a classic case of being stubborn and calculating at first, only to be contradicted later. He constantly tries to get her to pay attention to him, even hoping she'll try to take advantage of him, willingly letting her use him to protect him. When faced with a rival's provocation, he always blames the rival and even fights for her several times. After they get together, they're constantly clinging to each other and jealous, but he gets even angrier when he realizes the female lead doesn't understand what he's jealous of.
