    Just look at the ratings! This story is about the male lead slowly falling in love with the female lead, and the female lead slowly falling in love with the male lead in return. It's a story of a hot-tempered, foolish, wealthy young master versus a cool, handsome, seemingly innocent but actually cunning psychologist. It's super good! It's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. The female lead appears weak but is calm and intelligent, while the male lead, though stubborn, is soft-hearted and gradually falls for her. In the middle, the female lead is framed and dies (a fake death). The male lead regrets his incompetence and constantly improves his strength to avenge Wei Yi and his family. Sheng Shi, Wei Yi, forever a god! A short excerpt from the story: Sheng Shi's passenger seat is Wei Yi's exclusive spot, covered in cute Pikachu stickers. Later, whenever Sheng Shi gets angry, he'll peel off the Pikachu stickers from the passenger seat. Wei Yi will coax him back up, and he'll secretly put them back on.
