   [Male lead Xu Zhi, female lead Xu Qing] This is a contemporary romance novel where the author portrays family, friendship, and love with delicate realism. Xu Qing is an optimistic and cheerful girl who, after the deaths of her parents and sister and brother-in-law in a car accident, single-handedly cares for her elderly grandmother and young nephew Pingping. This tragedy causes Xu Qing to suffer from depression, but with her grandmother's encouragement, she actively faces treatment and eventually emerges from the shadows to embrace life again. Before meeting Xu Qing, Xu Zhi was known to those around him as a man of few words, polite, and principled. After meeting Xu Qing, who resonates with him, he also reveals a humorous, witty, and gentle side. Excerpt: Xu Zhi suddenly has a flash of inspiration and throws out a riddle that catches Xu Qing off guard: "If Xiao Wang cuts his hair in the middle, who will he become?" Xu Qing is completely bewildered; Xiao Wang already has a near-bald buzz cut, why would he cut it in the middle? Seeing that Xu Qing can't answer, Xu Zhi smugly announces the answer: "Xiao Quan." Xu Qing gasps and gives a thumbs up, "Great! You win."

   Except for 4, 1, 2, and 3 are all redemption stories. I especially recommend 2. The female lead is a wealthy heiress suffering from schizophrenia. Before meeting the male lead, she endured much malice and manipulation; she couldn't even have normal social interactions, like a caged bird. The male lead takes her out of the suburban villa and into an apartment in the city, takes her to shopping malls, and even gives birth to their baby while she's ill. Later, even though the male lead likes the female lead's dependent second personality, he still chooses to let her be herself, causing the second personality to disappear and leaving only the first. The male lead then pursues his wife again. It's a very unique novel. The female lead is imperfect and even makes mistakes, and the male lead is also imperfect; even his initial attraction is mixed with revenge. In short, highly recommended!! 3.

    After getting into the driver's seat, he turned around to fasten her seatbelt, smiling slightly, his tone a little nonchalant, "I thought, 'Whose girl is so pretty? I liked her at first sight.'" Shu Yu pushed him away, "That sounds like a perfunctory response." Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and turned his gaze to the road ahead. He wasn't lying. He felt that way the first time he saw her. Although everything had started over, she could still approach him, get to know him properly, and learn more about his past. "Weren't you just saying you were bored? I see you're quite involved. By the way, why did you vote for Shu Yu? Fang Min is indeed quite pretty." Jiang Yan casually picked up the half-empty bottle of mineral water and continued drinking, "No reason, she's the prettiest." Jiang Yan suddenly sighed, "Why did you lower yourself like that?" Shu Yu was taken aback. She hadn't noticed it herself, but Jiang Yan saw it clearly. She had been carefully considering his feelings in her words and actions, even her words were meant to please him. He didn't want her to feel any inferiority, especially in front of him.. . . , . . , , . . , . , , , . , , , ". " ", . " , , . . , . , . ". " , . "What do you mean?" Jiang Yan glanced at her, making no attempt to hide his feelings, and said directly, "You're beautiful." Those three simple words made Shu Yu's heart flutter. He loved her, so he respected her in everything. Shu Yu looked at the lyrics and suddenly stopped, listening to Jiang Yan finish singing the entire line— "Darling, don't be willful, your eyes say I'm willing." "Can you always be with me like you are today, don't push me away." "Shu Yu." Jiang Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resonant. Those who had been cheering heard him and stopped, turning to look at him. Jiang Yan stood there, his tall, slender figure resting on the back of the chair in front of the dining table, his fingers tapping habitually. The young man had clean facial features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of dark eyes beneath sword-like eyebrows. Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Come here." He added slowly, "Her affairs really do concern me." Shu Yu thought back carefully. It seemed that whenever Jiang Yan was around, she never had to unscrew a bottle cap; he would always open it for her without saying a word, even if she could do it herself. The kindness hidden in those details was like a gentle spring breeze—unassuming, yet warm and comforting. Jiang Yan tightened his grip on the umbrella handle, tilting it to one side again. Someone was shielding her from the wind and rain, building a barrier against worldly hardships. She was like the bright moonlight. There is no true empathy in this world unless you walk in her shoes and tread the path she once walked. In Jiang Yan's eyes, she only needed to be happy every day and didn't need to worry about the trivialities of life. Everyone else on her contact list, like classmates and friends, had their full names noted, as if he were the only exception. A special existence. A faint smile appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes. When she was with Jiang Yan, he was someone who cherished the present and planned for the future, and didn't like to talk about the past. She rarely heard him talk about what kind of person Jiang Yan was as a child. Now she could learn about his past herself. "Anyway, I'll have to rely on you to fulfill my birthday wish this year." "Then, Miss Shu, give me a spoiler in advance, so I can be better prepared." At that time, Jiang Yan couldn't understand how two people with such contrasting personalities could stay together for most of their lives. In the end, it was the old lady who made the decision and accepted Jiang Yan's order. Jiang Yan met them briefly and took something from them, a birthday gift he had prepared for Shu Yu. He wasn't sure if she would like it, but it was a gift he had painstakingly prepared for a long time, at least it was unique. Jiang Yan's back was slightly bent, "Before, I felt that I wasn't good enough for good people or things, but later I worked hard to improve my conditions and abilities, wanting to try to be with her." "I wish you could see this." His voice dissipated in the wind. But the wind would convey his message. Even if the future was 14,000 kilometers away from Jiang Yan, with a twelve-hour time difference. She also believed that love could overcome any obstacle. Shu Yu clapped along with everyone else, and as she put away her paper and pen to leave, she heard the boy's clear voice from the stage again—"May your journey be smooth and your wishes fulfilled." A moment later, Jiang Yan gave Shu Yu the gift he had prepared. It was a pair of silver high heels with pointed toes and tiny rhinestones, eye-catching in the natural daylight. A pearl chain strap at the ankle added a touch of gentleness, and the soles had a non-slip design. These shoes were custom-made, indicating that the person who gave them the shoes had put a lot of thought into it. It turned out that Jiang Yan really did know her, and perhaps more than just knew her. "Then I hope—" Shu Yu clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and for a moment became more devout, "that every wish Jiang Yan has from now on will come true." "That doesn't count, make a new one." Jiang Yan pressed the lighter again, and the flame leaped out once more. "Why not?" "It's your own birthday, and you're making a wish for someone else? So generous." "You're not counting someone else." "Let's go for a walk," Shu Yu suggested. In her opinion, strolling with someone you like at dusk, watching the snow fall slowly, chatting about recent events, even silent companionship is comfortable, walking in unison—that's the ultimate romance. Holding hands is a sign of attraction. Not holding hands is a sign of respect. Snowflakes fell on the trees nearby, quietly observing this sub-zero ambiguity. "True affection should be empathy, respect, and understanding." —"The sound of the waves says I miss you, my beloved." Shu Yu stood still, turning to meet Jiang Yan's gaze. He smiled and said, "This song is called 'That Time Was Just Right.' Would you let me be your boyfriend? My beloved." The sunset's afterglow, the sound of the waves crashing incessantly, seemed to be their accompaniment. "What if I say I don't like you?" "Then I'll change myself to be the way you like." He wasn't wrong; he had indeed been pursuing her for quite a while. Now that he'd finally won her over, he feared it was just a dream and wanted to see her one more time to confirm it. If she truly didn't like him, he would do everything in his power to change, to try, to fight for her. Fortunately, she liked him. Otherwise, Jiang Yan would have been at a loss. She would share her life with him, and Jiang Yan responded to every word. When her hands were freezing in winter, he would always buy her hot drinks to warm them and hand warmers to put on her body. Whenever she casually mentioned something she wanted to eat, he would secretly buy it for her. But Shu Yu wasn't just loved. She also knew how to love. Jiang Guyi remembered what Jiang Yan had just said. He had also said, "I only care about one person. Everything related to her is what I desire." Jiang Yan looked at the fireworks outside the window, illuminating his heart. Jiang Yan's feelings for her would never change. What is the meaning of sunrise? As someone said, it waits for everyone, but I will only wait for you. Jiang Yan's gaze fell into the distance. Shu Yu, however, looked up at the boy beside her. His image overlapped with Jiang Yan's appearance many years later. She understood that Jiang Yan would not change. That night, Jiang Yan posted a Weibo message visible only to himself. "Saw the person I wanted to see." "Ayu." She remembered that years later, Jiang Yan also liked to call her that when they were intimate. "Mmm." "Give me time, I won't let you regret it." He would prove with time that being with her wouldn't make her regret it, and he would give her the best of everything. "I believe you." Her voice was soft, but it was full of trust. Jiang Yan never mentioned liking her, but his words were full of love. After running a few steps outside, she stopped, glanced around to make sure no one was there, turned back to Jiang Yan, smiled, and quickly blew a simple kiss, just like the rabbit emoji. Jiang Yan smiled, looking down. He didn't find those emojis particularly cute. He just thought she was adorable. She had thought more than once that she was lucky, that the person she liked was so perfect. "Of course you are." Jiang Yan saw right through her thoughts. "No one is perfect," he said. "You think I'm good because you have a filter on me. And I'm good to you because it's you." In other words, if it were anyone else, he wouldn't care about every little detail, nor would he do everything flawlessly, so he wouldn't seem without flaws. For example, in Zou Ming's eyes, Jiang Yan was a spoilsport, not very patient with him, and always ignored him. There is no such thing as a perfect person in this world, but someone will become that near-perfect person for you because of love. Just like Jiang Yan. He knows best how far he originally was from the standard of 100%. He wasn't always a confident and passionate person, at least not at the beginning. Therefore, Jiang Yan knew very early on what kind of boy Shu Yu liked, and he was gradually moving towards her ideal image. "Ayu." "Hmm?" "I'm sorry." "Why are you apologizing?" He was going abroad, and he would have very little time to spend with her afterward. "I'm not good enough, but wait for me, I will become better." Jiang Yan's voice was very soft and not very clear. He rarely showed this side of insecurity, and it seemed that only in front of her. "You're already doing great, Ayan," the girl's gentle voice soothed the boy. She suddenly remembered the first birthday Jiang Yan had spent with her when she was working. That day, they went on a date together and made matching couple rings at a DIY studio. The staff said they could engrave words on the rings. Shu Yu had asked Jiang Yan then, "What do you want to engrave?" Jiang Yan said, "Belong to." Belong to. To belong to. Shu Yu. "May all your wishes come true, may all your desires be fulfilled, may you be safe and happy, and may everything go smoothly without worry." And Jiang Yan's wish, just like before, was that Shu Yu would have a smooth journey and that all her wishes would be fulfilled. Even though they were both making wishes for someone else, they themselves were still blessed by the gods. The streetlights overhead seemed to shine a spotlight on them, making them the stars of this dance. In ordinary days, Jiang Yan would occasionally bring home a bouquet of flowers. Sometimes it was a large bouquet, sometimes a small bunch with only two or three stems; no matter what, Shu Yu was always happy to receive it. Later, she even went to learn how to make dried flowers and how to preserve other fresh flowers. She wanted to preserve and commemorate every gift Jiang Yan had given her in various ways. Jiang Yan was always pleased to see her spending time tinkering with these things. Both of them were diligently nurturing their relationship, respecting and loving each other. Shu Yu received her first bouquet of flowers from the young Jiang Yan, the same bouquet she received years later when they were together. No matter how the gears of fate turned, some marks wouldn't change, and some love wouldn't change. Memories of the past surfaced in her mind, filled with warmth. Shu Yu looked back; Jiang Yan was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, a smile on his face, his gaze fixed on her. No matter when, she felt a flutter in her heart because of him. Shu Yu put down the flowers and ran back to Jiang Yan. He was used to waiting for her with open arms. "Because I hope that when I'm good enough, have better conditions, and more freedom, I can appear before you again, let you know that version of me, and only then will I have no worries." "Do you have any worries now?" Shu Yu didn't know why, but the young Jiang Yan was always somewhat dissatisfied with himself. "Yes." He didn't specify what. So when he truly appeared before her, it was as an adult. At that time, the Jiang Yan she knew was a mature, stable, independent, and considerate person. He had a promising career and substantial savings, and he had his own space and time to spend with her. After getting into the driver's seat, he turned around to fasten her seatbelt, smiling and saying in a slightly nonchalant tone, "Back then, I thought, 'Whose girl is so beautiful? I liked her at first sight.'" Shu Yu pushed him away, "That sounds like a perfunctory response." Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and turned his gaze to the road ahead. He wasn't lying. He felt that way the first time he saw her. Although everything had started over, she could still approach him, get to know him better, and learn more about his past. Back then, she had heard Jiang Yan mention his experience studying abroad. After graduation, his professor extended an olive branch, hoping he could stay and work abroad, and if possible, the professor would provide him with some technical or other support. But he still returned to China. He told his professor earnestly in English, "I have to go back." "Why?" The conditions offered by his professor were also very tempting. "There are still people I want to see back home." He didn't tell Shu Yu this. When she asked him why he returned, he only said he didn't want to be too far from home. "You're not someone who acts on emotion. Aren't you always very rational? Staying is more beneficial for your development." His advisor still wanted to persuade him to stay. Jiang Yan said, "I'm very clear about every choice I make. This is the result of careful consideration." "Shu Yu, before you took that step towards me, I thought about getting closer to you countless times." Shu Yu was stunned. So, Jiang Yan kept it from her. This was a secret crush that no one knew about for many years. Three years of high school, four years of university, one year of work—after all that, he had gathered enough confidence and courage to stand in front of her before letting her get to know him again. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the time before her first college entrance exam when she was in a slump and confused because of her declining grades. He was sharing his learning experience on stage, and she suddenly understood. His last words, "I wish you a smooth road ahead and that all your wishes come true," were really meant for her. Jiang Yan caught her and hugged her steadily. A journey spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, a true crossing of oceans to see you. In the 21st century, humanity still needs embraces, understanding, and love. Nineteen-year-old Jiang Yan still looked like a young man, standing there, spirited and dazzling. Twenty-five-year-old Jiang Yan appeared even more mature, his eyes calm, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at her. Neither of them spoke, as if waiting for her choice. Only now did she understand that this was merely an opportunity given to her by heaven, allowing her to glimpse the young man's heart and fill in the gaps in their past. Many times, if she turned around, she would meet his gaze. They had clearly brushed past each other many times before, yet she hadn't remembered him. She wanted to be kinder to him, much kinder, as kind as he had been to her. "You have to treat Jiang Yan well. That guy's really stubborn; he keeps everything to himself and doesn't tell anyone, including the fact that he's liked you for so many years. Only I know about it..." Zou Ming's voice was a little muffled, but Shu Yu heard it clearly. Hearing this from someone else made her feel guilty again. If she had realized it sooner, the two of them wouldn't have missed so many years. She told Zou Ming, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for Jiang Yan and treat him even better." Jiang Yan saw that Shu Yu hadn't returned from the restroom for a while, so he got up to check on her. He had just stepped out of the private room when he heard her promise. Following the sound, he saw the seriousness on her face. Hearing the door open, Shu Yu turned around and met Jiang Yan's meaningful gaze. However, the smile in his eyes was particularly obvious, as warm as a spring breeze in April. They both had unspeakable secrets, but the girl Jiang Yan liked had a bright and cheerful demeanor. Shu Yu was like the sun, always considerate of those around her, getting along with everyone. In her presence, Jiang Yan seemed even more gentle and patient. Several times, Fang Min saw her and Jiang Yan walking side-by-side on a path dappled with sunlight, the sun generously showering them upon them. Fang Min seemed to understand why Jiang Yan loved Shu Yu. No one could resist a kind and warm presence; everyone wants to be close to the light. On the day Jiang Yan proposed, Shu Yu had just celebrated her twenty-seventh birthday. She was surprised to see Jiang Yan standing behind her. He looked different from when he left; he was dressed in a suit, the black suit making him appear more mature and composed. His dark eyes reflected the setting sun and her pure, beautiful face. Jiang Yan had secretly rehearsed his next move many times, but he still felt nervous. He rarely experienced moments like this in his life. Shu Yu noticed that Jiang Yan had invited her best friends. They didn't say anything, just stood by, neither urging her to accept or refuse, simply waiting for her choice. It seemed that no matter what happened next, their eyes were always filled with blessings for her. Only when she took off the couple rings they had made together and put on the wedding ring did they feel a sense of reality. He confessed his love on the beach, and then proposed to her on the beach. Jiang Yan arranged many flowers around her seat because she had said she wanted many flowers on the day of the proposal. She turned around and met Jiang Yan's gaze. His eyes were firm, making her feel an involuntary dependence on him. When she came out in her pure white wedding dress, she was like a princess from a dream, as sacred and pure as ever. Jiang Yan had imagined this scene more than once, but when the moment actually arrived, he still felt his eyes well up with tears. The scene that had only existed in his mind had become real and vivid in reality. In front of everyone, Shu's father led Shu Yu step by step closer. When her hand was placed in Jiang Yan's palm, Shu Yu noticed that Jiang Yan's hand was trembling slightly. Tears seemed to well up in his eyes, which he was struggling to hold back. Jiang Yan solemnly placed a kiss on her forehead. It wasn't as intimate as any other kiss; it was a simple gesture, yet Jiang Yan performed it with the devotion of a believer. At that moment, Shu Yu felt herself lift her head again, meeting those eyes brimming with love. Her eyes sparkled with a smile, her gaze mirroring his own love. This kiss moved her more than any she had ever felt before. Amidst the cheers and applause of everyone, Jiang Yan lowered his voice, speaking only to the two of them, "Ayu, I think all my wishes have come true today." For a moment, Shu Yu was lost in thought, remembering the first birthday Jiang Yan had spent with her after she returned to her senior year of high school. Her birthday wish then was that all of Jiang Yan's wishes would come true. "Me too," she said. Now, she realized she had also achieved her wish. She believed she would be happy. She had faith in both herself and Jiang Yan. As long as she was alright, she would do anything for him. Jiang Yan said that Shu Yu had a tough time with the child's birth, so the child took the surname Shu. Every year on this day, Jiang Yan would buy two cakes. The smaller cake was to celebrate the child's safe and healthy growth into a year. The other, larger cake was for Shu Yu. He thanked her for her hard work and dedication to the family, and for being by his side year after year. The child's nickname was given by Shu Yu: A Ran. A Ran looked anxious, "Mom... Cut a bigger piece!" Shu Yu pretended not to hear, cutting the largest piece for Jiang Yan, giving him what she considered the most delicious slice. Looking at the two adorable people, one big and one small, Jiang Yan thought, at that moment, his whole world was here. His childhood longing had become a reality. He had experienced a gray period in his life, but someone as bright as the sun had gradually illuminated the heart of his soul. From the cicadas chirping in summer to the snow falling in winter, year after year, he opened his eyes to find his beloved by his side. Shu Yu felt fortunate throughout her life. She hadn't compromised at any stage of her growth, always moving forward at her own pace, and had finally met the person most suited to her. Perhaps the absence of love is carefree, but true love is like basking in the morning sun, giving one a protective armor, both warm and steadfast. She possessed the most genuine capacity for love; she could openly love and be loved. Through spring and autumn, no matter how time changed, every quiet night, when she closed her eyes, her beloved would drift into dreams with her. As the sunrise painted half the sky, they greeted each silent yet vibrant day together, every day a good day.

    *The 36 Strategies of Love: A True Record of the Art of Pursuing Love*: When the fortress of reason crumbles for love, the heartbeat becomes the ultimate strategy. In an era where emotions are deconstructed by algorithms and heartbeats are quantified by data, a novel titled *The 36 Strategies of Love: A True Record of the Art of Pursuing Love* acts like a cleverly crafted rebel army, blasting open a new dimension of contemporary love narratives with the sweetest smoke. It's not just a sweet romance novel, but a grand game of reason versus instinct, control versus loss of control, a breathtaking battle of siege between the icebreakers and the icebreakers. The Paradox of Strategy: The Deconstructor of Emotions. The soul of the novel lies in its core concept of "the art of pursuing love." *The Art of Pursuing Love*, a parchment scroll by psychology graduate Ruan Zhiwei—using models to analyze ambiguous signals, experiments to measure blushing indices, and game theory to deduce relationship trends—is itself an ultimate metaphor for contemporary love anxiety.
