    ① The two leads, both virgins, had a sweet romance, but their breakup was cruel. Even after eight years apart, neither had truly let go of the other; there was resentment, but love remained the strongest. The female lead was forced into a corner, with no other choice but to obey the male lead's father's wishes and break up. The male lead, after learning the truth, felt deeply sorry for her… ② The male lead was arrogant and cool, with a wild spirit, while the female lead was elegant, noble, and of high moral character. They seemed destined to be apart, yet they got together and had a sweet relationship, only to break up in the end. Even after the breakup, the male lead still cared for the female lead, treated her well, and never blamed her… ③ The female lead accidentally broke the male lead's leg. To make amends, she took care of his meals every day, rain or shine, leading to rumors that she was pursuing him. During their time together, she did develop feelings for him, and they had a sweet romance. However, at graduation, the male lead simply said, "Let's break up," and disappeared. When they met again, the female lead was disheveled and asked him if he regretted it. He said he had no time to regret… ④ During their university years, the female lead fell in love at first sight with the male lead who snatched her wallet back from a thief, and pursued him. The male lead also gradually fell in love with her during their time together. However, their happiness was short-lived; they didn't date for long before she was dumped. Adding to her woes, she injured her foot and gave up dancing, becoming a beauty blogger instead. Meanwhile, the male lead who dumped her, contrary to his usual behavior, started trying to get her attention… ⑤ The female lead, from a family of doctors, was forced into a blind date. The person she had liked in her youth sat opposite her—her blind date's cousin—and he remained as unattainable as ever…
