Yet, even in the darkness, the flame of "love" within her never extinguished. The male protagonist, Shen Xiujin, is a cold-faced tycoon who manipulates the business world. He possesses enviable wealth and power, but also a heart hardened by childhood trauma. He once deeply misunderstood Jian Tong, ruthlessly driving her to the brink of despair. Yet, unknowingly, he has already become hopelessly entangled in his complex and profound feelings for her. The plot is full of twists and turns, opening with the tragic scene of Jian Tong's imprisonment. She endures immense suffering there, yet perseveres with unwavering resilience, a truly moving display of strength. After her release, she sheds her glamorous past and lives a quiet life in the city, attempting to start anew. However, Shen Xiujin re-enters her world, becoming entangled with her time and again. As the story unfolds, past misunderstandings and the truth gradually surface, and the two struggle on the edge of love and hate.

Almost no one talks about Zhao Yang's admirable qualities. He gave up a promotion, gave up his job, and protected Mi Cai; for Le Yao's bar, he gave up a stable life and returned to Suzhou.

    A perfect score! The author's writing is truly superb. Prepare your tissues for the beginning; it will definitely make you cry your eyes out—it's incredibly moving and vividly written. The humor is also excellent; a few words or phrases are enough to make you laugh out loud. I think this author must be very cultured to write such a lively and engaging novel. I highly recommend it; the male lead is completely pure inside and out, without any wandering thoughts or attraction to other women! It's definitely worth reading. I personally recommend reading the novel for a better experience; the actors in the short drama don't quite match the characters in the book!
