    [Self-recommended, welcome to read] The male lead is a financial tycoon who doesn't care about anyone and has very strong boundaries. The female lead pursued him in high school, and after a long separation due to work, they reconnected and she started pursuing him again. Initially, the male lead felt the gap in their social status was too large and rejected her. 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. The female lead is very clear-headed and gentle, always feeling that they wouldn't have a future. As the male lead became more and more infatuated, she became increasingly distant. When the misunderstanding erupted, the male lead became insanely jealous after learning her true feelings. Early on, the male lead said: "I don't like you, we're not suitable." Later: "I'll give you whatever you want, but you're trying to take advantage of me." The second story is a tragic love story. My mother is Uncle Song's white moonlight, while I am the "jinx" that his son hates to the bone. He scolded me, hurt me, but after I lost my memory, he asked me with red eyes: "Maybe he likes you and is looking for you?" A heart-wrenching, forced love | A wife-chasing crematorium. After losing my memory, I forgot everything, except that I was afraid of him. In the third story, the second male lead reverses his fate, personally sending her to his nemesis to witness their entanglement. He regrets it, but it's too late. The fourth story is sweet, with a touch of adoration and some quirky plot points—a refreshing change after a period of hardship.
