    This book is seriously highly recommended! [Admiration] It's the most charming older man/younger woman relationship I've ever read! The male lead has incredibly positive values, and the synopsis is amazing. Both leads are doctors, it's an arranged marriage that blossoms into love—I absolutely love it! Here are some quotes: "We're husband and wife. Your trust in me is your business, and my explanation is my stance." Song Tingxi whispered in her ear, "Love doesn't need confirmation; it's the lack of love that does." "Have you ever considered that relying on me is a right you've given me?" "Since it's your right, you also have the right to take it back at any time." His voice was gentle. "Xu Wu, instead of worrying about when a relationship will cool down, you should be proud of your ability to give me that right." "Your feelings, if not for me, can be given to someone else."

    This book is indeed very good. Although the title isn't particularly appealing, and I haven't seen the original movie, I found it very smooth and captivating, especially the first story. The author is truly skilled at writing. The female lead comes from a privileged background, and her aunt is from an upper-class circle in Europe and America. The male lead is the heir to his family's criminal business, burdened with the responsibility of legitimizing his family. He wants his family to be clean, but he also desires the female lead. It's fair to say that the female lead's family background provides them with a stepping stone to legalization. The author portrays the male lead as intelligent, patient, and kind to the female lead, giving him a Hong Kong "daddy" vibe.
