    This book perfectly fits the bill. The male lead is a powerful regent who descends from his pedestal for love. The female lead is an unfavored concubine of the late emperor. At first, the male lead suspects and tests the female lead because of her undercover identity, but he is gradually attracted to her. Because of their opposing identities, the male lead never expresses his feelings but silently gives his all and is secretly jealous. The love is unrequited, creating an extreme tug-of-war that is both sweet and heartbreaking. Highly recommended!

    Having read for thirty years, I found this book incredibly captivating and stayed up until 3 AM reading it. The male lead is a soldier with a powerful background who deeply loves the female lead. They separate due to a misunderstanding, and the male lead pursues her while she avoids him, eventually driving her to the brink of madness. The plot is incredibly addictive. It's super sweet and addictive; I've already read it three times.

    The most captivating intellectual romance, the most sophisticated emotional entanglement in contemporary romance, with the male and female leads pursuing each other relentlessly, and the business warfare elements having real-world value. It's incredibly moving, with a unique plot twist, and the supporting characters are all indispensable. It's addictive and has a very high rewatch rate.
