   [Self-recommended, welcome to read] The balancing act is very realistic and nuanced. The male lead is a financial tycoon, indifferent to everyone, and has very strong boundaries. The female lead pursued him in high school, and after a long separation at work, they reconnected and she started pursuing him again. Initially, he rejected her because he felt the gap in their social status was too large. Later, however, he couldn't resist getting close to her and couldn't stop thinking about her, so he agreed to date her. The result?! The female lead always misunderstood herself as a kept woman. She is very clear-headed and gentle, always believing that their relationship wouldn't last. As the male lead became increasingly infatuated, she grew more and more distant. The misunderstanding erupted, and the male lead, after learning her true feelings, became insanely jealous. Early on, the male lead said: "I don't like you, we're not suitable." Later: "I'll give you anything you want, you're just after me."

    ⬆️Highly recommend! This book is super good. The male and female leads were originally engaged. The male lead comes from a wealthy family and fell in love with the female lead at first sight when they were young; however, they never saw each other again after that. Despite this, the male lead always thought about the female lead and even chose to go abroad to hone his skills for her. After returning to China, the first thing he did was to get close to the female lead and make her his assistant. The female lead comes from a high-ranking family, but her mother died early, and her father ignored her. She was raised by her grandparents from a young age; due to childhood trauma, she lost part of her memory, including her first meeting with the male lead. The female lead attended prestigious universities for both her undergraduate and graduate studies and later became a diplomat. For the female lead, their relationship developed gradually; but for the male lead, it was premeditated. Overall, it's a strong, pure love story. The female lead has her own career, and the male lead loves her deeply, thinks only of her, and respects her very much. The chemistry between them is incredibly strong, and it's very enjoyable to watch! At the same time, the male lead is also the female lead's salvation.

    [Beijing's elite heir x a charming, seductive beauty | Reconciliation after a broken relationship | Crazy, love-struck male lead, 1v1, both virgins, sweet and satisfying] She seduced him for two years, then dumped him for five. When they met again, Zhou Sinian was the self-disciplined and refined Zhou X Director, with a well-matched fiancée by his side. Five years ago, at their first meeting, Zhou Wang, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "I heard you're quite expensive." Su Jin tilted her head and smiled, "Young Master Zhou, you're not cheap either." "Playing with me? Can you afford it?" Later, he squatted down in front of her, looking up at her, his peach blossom eyes reddening, "Do you think I can't live without you?" She smiled, looking down, "If I'm not your first choice, then I'll never be." He kissed the back of her hand in front of his brothers, "Woof." The most precious heir in Beijing was tamed by her like a dog. But she didn't know that he willingly let himself be ensnared. Five years later, the faded red string on her wrist was tied by him while she was asleep. He gripped her wrist, his knuckles turning white: "What exactly do you want?" She pulled her hand away and stood up: "Director Zhou, don't flatter yourself. I only came back for money." Thirty-year-old Su Jin didn't date or rely on men; she held connections across half of Beijing and a business worth two hundred million. She had calculated how to escape unscathed, calculated how to make him hate her to the bone, but she hadn't calculated that five years later, those peach blossom eyes still held a mixture of hatred and love for her, unable to do anything about it. Later, Zhou Sinian pinned her against the French windows, his eyes red-rimmed: "You didn't look back when you left, and you shouldn't look back when you come back, but why did you let me see you?" She pushed his face away: "Your fiancée is waiting for you downstairs." He laughed, a laugh that was both mad and broken. She had been playing him for seven years. He willingly took the bait—because of her. He hated her to the core, yet loved her to the point of risking his life. 16
