   | Fu Siheng × Shen Qingdu 📌 Fu Siheng, the heir to a prominent family in Beijing's elite circles, has harbored a secret love for a woman for eight years. 📌 He orchestrates a dramatic marriage, marrying her under the guise of a contractual relationship. 📌 Until she discovers all her photos from the past eight years hidden in a locked drawer in her study— 📌 A candid photo of her sleeping in the UCL library at age eighteen. 📌 Newspaper clippings from her award-winning graduation project at age twenty. 📌 Her plagiarized design draft from age twenty-five, with a note beside it that reads: 📌 "Her, nobody touch." 📌 Clutching the yellowed pages, she turns and meets his unfathomable gaze. 📌 His fingertips trembled, his voice hoarse: 📌 "Qingdu, do you believe it or not—I want your Shen family to go bankrupt, I want you to be desperate, 📌 I want you to end up marrying me." ——🔖 Warning from above— 🔥 Calm and composed on the surface × Ruthless and doting on his wife behind the scenes. On their wedding night, they signed a "no interference" agreement, but he turned around and stayed up late every night to watch over her while she worked. The fresh milk in the refrigerator was always her favorite brand; when she had allergies, he canceled a multi-billion dollar meeting to personally accompany her; when she was bullied, he secretly resolved everything—saying it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, but paving the way for everything. 🔥 Eight years of scheming × The truth of the "chasing after wife" ordeal was exposed, and she broke up with him and left home. He abandoned the entire Fu Group to pursue his wife across borders, standing in the Milan rainstorm holding her favorite daisies until dawn: "I've planned this marriage for eight years. The only miscalculation was that you fell in love, but I didn't dare admit it." 🔥 Both are strong in their careers × Both are devoted to each other. The female lead isn't love-struck! A UCL architecture master personally takes on a landmark project worth billions, and the couple works together to turn the tide. He proposes in public: "Shen Qingdu, marry me—this time there's no contract, only the rest of our lives." 🔥 Full text is sweet and angsty × HE with after-sales service. During the pursuit of his wife, the male lead is humble to the point of being dusty, and during her pregnancy, he dotes on her and stays by her side every step of the way. The childhood sweetheart second male lead is a helpful ally, and the CP fangirl cousin is a sugar rusher throughout—800,000 words of main text + sweet-to-the-point-of-cavity extras, go for it! ——📖 Excerpt—— In his study drawer, there's a candid photo of her sleeping in the UCL library when she was eighteen. There's a newspaper clipping of her award-winning graduation project when she was twenty. Her design drafts, stolen when she was twenty-five—with a note beside them: *"Her, nobody touches them."* She turned around, clutching the yellowed pages, and met his unfathomable gaze. After a long silence, he whispered: "Qingdu, do you believe me—I wanted your Shen family to go bankrupt, I wanted you to be desperate, *I wanted you to end up marrying me."* But she saw his fingertips trembling. ⚠️ High-energy warning: Don't read this late at night, it'll be so sweet you'll want to pound your bed!

    If you're looking for something a bit more sophisticated, then here it is. The first book can be described as a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. The male and female leads are incredibly affectionate, and their relationship develops gradually after marriage. The writing is delicate and nurtured, like a gentle stream, with their feelings slowly growing and deepening. The male and female leads are also very individualistic and interesting. The second book is one I read on Tomato Bookstore. The first book was excellent; the bold female lead directly renounced the golden circlet of the wealthy heir, who then descended from his pedestal for love, handling everything for her. It was lighthearted and enjoyable, with its delicate writing and irresistible romance.
