    "…Rubbing…stomach, it hurts…" Cen Mian's voice was muffled, as if it were still inside the oxygen mask, tinged with the nasal tone of someone who had been crying. Her nose and eyes were red, twitching with each sob, like a small animal caught in the rain and unable to find its way home, so pitiful it could break one's heart. "Jiang…Jiang Shao…" - Jiang Shao would never dare to lay a hand on someone, let alone actually rub it. His body was fragile after surgery; the layers of gauze concealed deep wounds. Just thinking about it made his heart tremble. "Bear with it," he said softly, gently coaxing her. "The pump has been turned up, the medicine will take effect soon, just bear with it a little longer…"

    I highly recommend the story of a sickly, beautiful, and tragically strong male lead! "I Extended the Male Lead's Life Through a Binding Exchange System" features a frail but ruthless king who is only soft-hearted towards the female lead. It's incredibly sweet and romantic!

    I'm sincerely looking for a substitute. I've been searching for half a month, and this is the most captivating contemporary romance novel I've ever read. This is truly a story of two highly intelligent, dual-protagonist relationships; the business intrigue and romance are phenomenal, and there's no substitute. The writing is superb; you can never predict the plot. I'm looking for someone like me. Anyone have similar recommendations?
