Aren't you beautiful?" Song Yu casually replied, "I didn't see." His friend didn't believe him. Song Yu stubbornly insisted, "Out of politeness, understand?" Later, he was often seen frequenting the teahouse, picking up and dropping off the proprietress, and even had his special blue Rolls-Royce changed to black. He boasted to his friends, "Couple's car!" One day, Luo Yi nestled in his arms, her fingers playing with his shirt buttons, her voice soft and sweet: "Wasn't it just politeness? What's going on now?"

    The book I've been reading recently features a female protagonist from a scholarly family in Jiangnan who works as an ancient painting curator. The male protagonist is from a prominent Beijing social circle. It's an arranged marriage that blossoms into love. The male protagonist respects the female protagonist and dotes on her immensely. The author's writing is quite good, and the career storyline is surprisingly well-developed without being overly dramatic.
