In the dim corner, the cigarette butt flickered, seemingly conflicted, yet also... Restless. #SecondMaleLesson #PoachingLiterature #UnrequitedLove #AgeDifference I recommend this book. The beginning is sweet and silly, making you smile like a doting aunt; the later part is slightly angsty and enjoyable. It's urban-style, easy to read and not agonizing. Although it's not finished yet, it's very readable; I've reread it countless times and am eagerly awaiting its completion. The second male lead and the male lead are childhood friends from the same neighborhood, both deeply in love with the female lead. Because of the female lead's secret marriage, the male lead's pursuit of her is fraught with internal and external troubles, leaving him exhausted. He's cunning, humorous, but somewhat calculating; the second male lead is aloof but loyal, he too has never put down his hoe, yet he gradually falls into a vortex of love and attraction, making him quite the scene-stealer.

The male lead, because of his mother's death, made things difficult for the female lead for so many years, then forced her to eat mangoes, which she was allergic to. After she ate them, she no longer owed him anything! He ruined her life, and besides, the female lead wasn't really involved in his mother's death; he was the one who caused it. The second male lead is truly devoted but principled. He likes her, but he won't be a simp or give her the chance to be two-timing (the female lead didn't have that opportunity).

   I read the first three books after watching the short dramas, and the male leads were all very well-developed. I've reread the first one twice; Xie Yanli has a ten-year unrequited love for Lou Ruan, even taking photos with her when he wins awards, and there are many other small details about his unrequited love—it's really touching! In the second book, Xue Cen also has an eight-year unrequited love for Xu Mei, from making her radish cakes for over 500 days during their student days to attending her concerts every time. When Xu Mei wasn't feeling well while performing abroad, he asked his friend to take her to the hospital. The male lead is truly admirable. The later books were also very good.
