   A mature man and woman locked in a dramatic power struggle. After a long separation, the male lead, proud and arrogant, knows the female lead likes him and subtly flirts with her until she confesses her feelings. However, he hesitates due to their social difference and rejects her. The female lead then realizes she's moved on, and the male lead regrets it. His subsequent pursuit of her is a classic case of being stubborn and calculating at first, only to be contradicted later. He constantly tries to get her to pay attention to him, even hoping she'll try to take advantage of him, willingly letting her use him and protect him. When faced with a rival's provocation, he always blames the rival and even fights for her several times. After they get together, they're constantly clinging to each other and jealous, but he's incredibly jealous, only to realize the female lead doesn't understand what he's jealous of, which makes him even angrier. (Self-recommendation welcome.)

   Reader note

   Speaking of angsty romance novels, I really have to mention Chen Ruozhou. I've been a fan since his very first book; his writing is superb. "Spring's Lingering Warmth" is truly angsty, and the male lead is absolutely adorable. During their cold war, the male lead masturbates while the female lead lies beside him, showering him with virtual gifts. In "Misty Desire," both the male and female leads seem to be mute. The female lead fell for the male lead in high school, and they got together in college. At that time, the female lead was a chubby girl. Later, she returned and gave birth to their child. Because she looked exactly the same as before, the male lead didn't recognize her, leading to the unfolding plot. Chen Ruozhou's writing is truly amazing!!! (I highly recommend checking out his "Spring's First Marriage," a story of marriage of convenience that blossoms into love.)
