    ❶ A must-read for Tomato fans! A ten-year unrequited love story from the male lead's perspective, followed by a marriage of convenience and love from the female lead's perspective! A groundbreaking work! Forget about the second male lead taking over; this is the belated male lead! ❷ Ahhh, this is my absolute favorite! My thoughts after reading it are: Only a man like Duan Xiuming deserves Lu Mingye, and only a woman like Lu Mingye deserves Duan Xiuming. And the line that really resonated with me is: Please, always, save yourself from dire straits!
