    [Self-recommended, welcome to read] The male lead is a financial tycoon, indifferent to everyone, and has very strong boundaries. The female lead pursued him in high school, and after a long separation at work, they reconnected and she started pursuing him again. Initially, he rejected her because he felt the gap in their social status was too great. Later, however, he couldn't resist getting close to her and couldn't stop thinking about her, so he agreed to date her. The result?! The female lead always misunderstood herself as a kept woman. She is very clear-headed and gentle, always believing that their relationship wouldn't last. As the male lead became increasingly infatuated, she grew more and more distant. The misunderstanding erupted, and the male lead, after learning her true feelings, became insanely jealous. Early on, the male lead said: "I don't like you, we're not suitable." Later: "I'll give you anything you want, you're just after me."
