    After the marriage, she lived in his house, terrified he would harm her family. Two people clearly in love were separated by a feud between their families, their love a deep-seated hatred that went unnoticed. She repeatedly asked him if he truly loved her. Perhaps she would have been willing to disregard societal norms and let go of her hatred. They became fuel for the family feud; the more sensible they were, the less sympathy they received. He forced her into a business marriage, and she had to divorce him immediately. A sea of ​​hatred and love, a bloodbath and deep-seated hatred—a marriage of convenience born of family feuds and entanglements, yet they were forced into a business marriage, love blossoming after marriage. They had a child, but no real affection. She was imprisoned by him and couldn't go anywhere. He thought she was dreaming when she spoke in the middle of the night. She pretended to measure his neck with a rope, but when he found out, she could only say that she was measuring a necklace and asked him if he believed her. He then went crazy and tied her hands with a rope to make her realize that he and she were enemies. She and the child cried with tears in their eyes, and his heart ached for them, but he didn't show any pity. She packed her bags to escape, but he found out. He didn't know that she felt so bad about leaving. He clearly didn't like her, so why was he like this? His father pressured him to divorce his wife, but he refused. Her mother urged her to divorce him, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him. However, the deep-seated hatred stemming from their family feud persisted. Her relatives came to her rescue with weapons, but he was monitoring his enemies and family outside. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were injured. Unable to accept this reality, she attempted suicide by running into a wall while he wasn't looking, wanting to die with them. Without her family, she had lost all will to live. He was moved and asked the doctor to save her. The housekeeper, seeing his heartbreaking tears, wondered if he had fallen in love with her. He didn't know he had fallen in love but refused to admit it. However, she had amnesia and even forgave him for wanting to kill her. He began to understand his own heart and felt a sense of kinship with her. He treated her like a beloved person, making her happy. He never fed her before, but started feeding her even his son. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like. He never knew that loving someone could make him give everything. But when she asked him if he loved her, he still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and he unconsciously and gently admitted it in his sleep. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He didn't understand why it was his parents who wanted him to marry her, and it was also his parents who wanted them to divorce. What exactly did he and she do wrong? Why ignore their love when they became victims of generations of feuds? He once thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. However, when he heard her demand 500 million for a breakup, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was nothing but a pipe dream. He thought their love could overcome everything, including generations of hatred, but she only cared about money. He was deeply hurt. For the first time, she returned to her parents' home openly. He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused.

    "You were wary of me from day one, weren't you?" "So, you warned me not to have any improper thoughts about you, saying that even if something happened, you wouldn't accept a shotgun wedding." "What would you have done if I had done that?" Qi Xuye didn't answer, but Chi Yi smiled faintly. "Like this, buying me out, right?" "Making me pay to give up on you." At this moment, the pink cufflink was held in Qi Xuye's fingers, emitting a few glimmers of light. Chi Yi looked at it, feeling a deep sadness. The angle at which the light reflected was something she had deliberately crafted. This light, at this moment, mocked her utter foolishness. "Why bother, Second Brother?" Chi Yi smiled, "I never even dared to dream of anything with you."

    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's 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...
