   This was the first novel I ever read, and it's incredibly good and definitely worth reading. Gong Ou, such a stubborn, arrogant, and domineering person, was played for four years in his quest to see Shi Xiaonian in his best form again. He even said, "If there is such a thing as love at first sight in this world, it's you." From a Cinderella-and-CEO love story initially met with skepticism from everyone, to their eventual happy ending, it teaches us all to boldly and diligently pursue our true love, believing in ourselves and that we are good enough to deserve the one we love.

   These are several CEO romance novels with different styles. In the first one, the male lead's charm gradually increases, and the plot is unconventional and enjoyable. In the second one, the male lead is hilarious. I've seen narcissistic characters and insecure characters, but never one who's both narcissistic and insecure. The third one is absolutely amazing!
