    Age difference 8 (female lead is a graduate student, male lead is a CEO). They're childhood sweethearts, since the male lead is my older brother's classmate [laughing]. It's not a virgin story (if you mind, don't read it~). Their meeting is quite ordinary; the male lead is pressured to get married, and the female lead's family wants her to return to her hometown after graduation, but she doesn't, and that's how their paths cross. The plot is very simple and realistic, with trivial matters and a lot of workplace social interaction, which can be educational (use your brain, be wary of others, society is a great learning experience). There are infuriating scenes, sweet scenes, and unavoidable scenes; I was very immersed in it, so sometimes I got angry [laughing]. It's not very verbose, but the pacing is a bit slow, which I think is fine 👌~ Word count: 320,000 words. Content: The male lead had a 7-year relationship, without any fundamental wrongdoing, and they broke up peacefully (to be honest, they were too young then to share hardships, because the male lead comes from a scholarly family, and he had to build his business from scratch, which was also very difficult~). The female lead has someone she's attracted to, but nothing progresses; perhaps they're not meant to be. [Laughing] She works at the company the male lead runs, and because she's in the CEO's office, they interact more. With the encouragement of her parents and brothers, the door to love quietly opens. The female lead can be quite bold at times; she confesses first, but the male lead essentially rejects her (because he's afraid it's just a passing fancy, and perhaps he's older and has more reservations). Later, after her grandfather passes away, she understands the importance of cherishing the one she loves without regrets. The older brother is a great character; he dotes on his sister (I don't have that, I'm envious! [Shy]). Both families are wonderful, or rather, loving families. [Heart] (So the children are all great, with strong values). The female lead's personality is very genuine; while intelligent, she might be easily taken advantage of because she's new to the workforce, but she's kind and doesn't dwell on it. [Laughing] (Kind-hearted people should believe in good fortune! [Laughing]). Her best friend and brother are also very sweet; author, please write another one! [Laughing][Heart] I've said too much [smirking], those who like it can read it, I think it's good [shy] [bump][bump][bump][bump][bump][bump][bump][bump]

    Ancient Chinese romance novel featuring a doting female lead with a slightly silly but stunningly beautiful female lead who "only needs to open her mouth to have someone clear away all obstacles for her" and a slightly gloomy but powerful male lead who "is secretly in love with the female lead and feels inferior, but will turn into a big wolfhound after they get together." The contrast is amazing. On the outside, she is self-disciplined, polite, and noble, but in reality, she is a jealous, stingy, and gloomy guy!
