    Waaaaah, I love this book! ✨ "Can You Please Stop Hating Me?" Jin Zhuoxiao VS Yu Xi: A roguish, arrogant playboy × a cold, pure, and insecure girl. A college campus story of a prodigal son turning over a new leaf + male-pursuing-female + one-sided redemption! Jin Zhuoxiao is a notorious playboy in Beijing's elite circles. He's from a wealthy family, handsome, but utterly wicked. The first time he sees her, he aggressively tells her, "Anyone who comes in has to kiss me first." Yu Xi, on the other hand, is an insecure girl walking alone in the dead of winter. She never imagined she would fall for this infamous devil. From their ambiguous relationship to her heartless disappearance, and then their reunion when he pins her against the wall and asks, "You ran away when you saw me?", The carefree playboy gradually falls, clumsily trying to break through the cold in his own way, telling her, "Spring has come." The more arrogant he is in the beginning, the more humble he becomes in his pursuit of her later. It's both heart-wrenching and sweet, with a powerful aftertaste.

    The best-written, intellectually-driven romance novel, absolutely at the pinnacle of writing. The only problem is the lack of substitutes. The author's cultural background is exceptionally profound; the business battles are incredibly thrilling, and the romance is remarkably delicate. You'll understand what true high society is like after reading it; those typical light novels are just too silly. The male lead is madly in love, and the female lead is also brilliant. Suitable for discerning readers, offering a unique and unconventional extreme tension. The pacing is steady, starting slowly but building up to a sweeter, more intense feeling as you read. It has a grand scope and will leave you with something to ponder. The plot takes off after chapter ten; you'll thank me after you finish.
