"Good people are often the most conflicted." "Really?" "Yes." Chu You quickly reached out and hugged his neck tightly, her cheek pressed against the crook of his neck, her voice slightly flustered: "Then, if I go out like this, will the contrast be huge?" Crying VS. Chilling. The more she thought about it, the more awkward she felt. "Huge." Pei Qinchen answered decisively, but his steps didn't stop, steadily carrying her towards the elevator. Chu You instantly panicked, struggling to get down: "I don't want to be carried anymore." "Carry me." Pei Qinchen's tone left no room for doubt, his arms tightening, looking down at her flustered appearance. "Your background is complicated enough." Chu You was taken aback, reached out and grabbed his collar, looking up and asking in confusion, "What do you mean?" Pei Qinchen looked at her wide eyes, his eyes full of laughter: "I'm saying you're quirky and clever."

   Sisters, I highly recommend this ebook! It's the only one I've read without skipping any chapters; each chapter could easily stand alone. The male lead is a director and a domineering CEO, while the female lead is a doctor (primarily engaged in traditional Chinese medicine research), and she's incredibly talented in her field! She also writes screenplays, which are quite famous in the film industry (not related to entertainment; she first wrote one when she was seventeen or eighteen, and it was already made into a movie then). Their relationship is a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, a slow and steady romance. Initially, the female lead marries the male lead to repay a debt of gratitude; it's the male lead who proposes first, and the reason is unusual—it's something he's been planning for a long time. The author's writing is absolutely superb, and the expressions are quite subtle; savor it! Highly recommended! I'm going to read this book countless times.
