   The marriage between the heiress of Xiaonan Airlines' Li family and the heir of Yunting Airlines' Zhan family, a union of equals, ended in regret. He had his "white moonlight," and she had her childhood sweetheart with whom she had deep feelings. In this marriage between equally powerful families, neither was willing to back down first. * When Zhan Nanpei and Li Qianqian had just divorced, someone asked him, "You just divorced like that? No regrets?" He was dressed in black, hands in his pockets, "It was a business marriage, so there's no question of regrets." Having lived for over twenty years, proud as he was, he was a backup option. Ten thousand meters in the air, on a private jet. The usually restrained and stoic man kissed her again and again, his eyes red, his voice hoarse, "Wife, marry me again, okay?" * After giving birth to her second child, Li Qianqian flew twice a year to maintain her license. Zhan Nanpei, now the chairman of Yunting, would wait for his wife at the airport every time she got off work. The plane encountered severe weather and violent turbulence. Passengers shouted "Help!" The then-chief flight attendant, Min Ting, confidently reassured the passengers, "This flight is absolutely safe. The captain is the wife of our Chairman Yun Ting." "—Our Chairman's wife's life is precious." "Of course, yours is too, passenger." *A female pilot hiding her rich heiress identity vs. The president of Yun Ting Airlines* Both from wealthy families, both virgins, marriage of convenience (love after divorce), pregnant and running away together, strong male and female leads, long-awaited reunion, reconciliation, a wife-chasing drama, extreme tug-of-war. *Tips:* 1. The female lead is the "villain," the second female lead initially appears innocent but later turns evil. 2. The male lead's journey: rising to power without bowing down—becoming a "third party" for love—fighting and snatching. After learning he has a sweet-smelling daughter, the man's defenses crumble, "Woman, when did you secretly give birth to my child?" 3. This story has multiple secondary couples.

    Highly recommend!! The plot is roughly as follows: the male and female leads are engaged. The male lead comes from a very wealthy family and has been in love with the female lead since childhood. They've never met, but he always thinks of her and even goes abroad to train himself for her. Upon returning home, his first act to get closer to her is to make her his assistant. The female lead comes from a high-ranking family, but her mother died early, and her father neglected her. She grew up under the care of her grandparents. Due to childhood trauma, she lost some of her memories, including her first meeting with the male lead. She graduated from a prestigious university and later became a diplomat. For the female lead, their feelings developed gradually over time, but for the male lead, it was all premeditated. It's a strong, pure love story. The female lead has her own career, and the male lead is deeply in love with her, completely devoted to her, and deeply respects her. It's incredibly sweet! At the same time, the male lead is the female lead's savior.
