    This book absolutely meets your requirements 🥹 It's a top-ranked book on my recent reading list, featuring a brooding, brooding male lead. He's devoted and steadfast to the female lead, with zero misunderstandings. There are no ambiguous female supporting characters, no clichéd plot devices, and the male lead is a bit like a puppy, which is totally my cup of tea. The female lead has a strong core; she's intelligent and clear-headed. There's a little bit of angst (angst for the male lead, but only a tiny bit 🤏🏻 in some chapters), which is heartbreaking, but it makes it even more captivating.

He pretended to be the female lead's nominal fiancé because he thought she was face-blind (even though her face-blindness had long since cleared up). He assumed she still liked her fiancé, so he continued the act, even decorating his house exactly like hers. He always carried handcuffs in his pocket, intending to imprison her whenever she discovered it. She had no choice but to play along.

    The male leads are all seemingly gentlemanly men in public but secretly shady and manipulative, with an exceptionally strong service mentality, yet they all deeply respect the female leads and are very warm-hearted. The second book is an entertainment industry novel; I was initially drawn in by the character settings, but later it became incredibly hilarious. The third book is an infinite flow novel with a mutual, mutually destructive illness; both characters are "shady." The fourth and fifth books are quick transmigration novels; the male lead is shady, and the female lead is a seductive type. The seventh book is a story of sworn enemies with complementary illnesses; the early part is tragic with a lot of dirty talk, but the emotional catharsis parts are very well written.

    This is the pinnacle of contemporary romance novels featuring intellectual homosexuality this year. I couldn't get into anything else after reading it. The author has a profound literary background, far surpassing novice authors. The writing is divine, incredibly delicate. The male lead's love is passionate, but not mindless. The plot takes off after chapter ten. You'll come back to thank me after you finish reading it.

He missed his chance in the previous life, but was reborn and becomes even more ruthless, resorting to force and kidnapping to marry her in the street.
