She merely raised her eyes calmly, her voice utterly emotionless: "Then I'm sorry, Mr. Chi." Truly, not a trace of past affection remained. * Everyone said Chi Jiazhou was a chosen one, arrogant and unrestrained, never bowing his head, but no one knew that Jiang Yi was the only exception he had obtained after setting aside his pride and repeatedly pleading. No one also knew that her final words, "I hate you," had completely nailed him to the past. He asked hoarsely, "Jiang Yi, did you ever love me?" She replied coldly and resolutely: "I lied to you. I hate you." * Later, on a stormy night, he knelt before her, soaked to the bone, his dignity shattered, his eyes red: "I admit defeat, Jiang Yi… I'd be willing to be your lapdog for life." "Please… tame me one more time." * Everyone thought this was her revenge, a victory she had won. It wasn't until after their marriage that he found a faded old photograph—on the back was her delicate handwriting: "The moment you pushed open the door, I saw the belated spring." "You are like a spring mountain, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled." It turned out his unrequited love had long been reciprocated. —Chi Jiazhou, I love you, earlier, deeper, and more silently than hate. We each had our difficulties back then, but we started anew.

    This is the most enjoyable contemporary romance novel I've read this year. It's a pinnacle of intellectual romance, not suitable for younger readers with little social experience. The business warfare parts are incredibly thrilling, and the strong-willed romance is particularly captivating. The writing is superb, far superior to that of novice authors. The only problem is the lack of suitable alternatives. If anyone can find a book of this caliber, please recommend one to me.
