   Why? Just to stay in New York for her future? No, she didn't believe it! She didn't believe that the boy who ran all over Beijing to buy her fever reducers could be a sophisticated egoist. She didn't believe that the man who ate beef noodles with her at a roadside stall and said, "Wherever you are, you're the best," would discard her like trash because of so-called ambition. But, but, what he said was too hurtful. Lin Zhiwei closed her eyes, and tears finally slid down silently, dripping onto the back of her hand, frighteningly hot. During those thirteen hours of flight, she felt like she was on a deserted island floating ten thousand meters in the air. She was trapped on this island, cut off from all ties to the past, and forced to undergo a cruel "amputation surgery."

    The story revolves around a woman's growth after a long separation.

He is gentle, restrained, and rational, gradually succumbing to love. The female protagonist is strong-willed, clear-headed, independent, and focused on her career.

    A different kind of reunion story. In the first two books, the male and female protagonists lost contact due to an accident and a misunderstanding. Years later, the male protagonist reunited with the female protagonist and discovered that she was pregnant (not a story where the male protagonist neglected and hurt the female protagonist and regretted it). The third book tells the story of the male and female protagonists meeting and falling in love, but breaking up for some reason. The male protagonist went abroad, and the female protagonist returned to the countryside. She thought they were completely separated, but she didn't expect that she had been living under the male protagonist's nose all along.

    [Self-recommended reading welcome [send heart]] A broken mirror mended. The male lead is powerful and influential, a seemingly refined but actually depraved and ruthless man; the female lead is gentle, resilient, clear-headed, and ambitious. The two are very different. Initially, the male lead always says they're not suitable, but after being rejected, the female lead calmly moves on, remaining clear-headed and ambitious in her career. Even after they get together, she maintains a detached attitude towards the relationship, remaining flexible and ready to withdraw at any time, always striving to be number one in her career. The male lead can't control his urges and is often jealous when she doesn't seem to value him. The story is physically appealing, with lots of sweet and slightly bittersweet moments later on. The powerful man bows down for love; initially, she's self-protective and doesn't like others having designs on her, but later showers her with jewelry, bags, support, and resources.
