   It's amazing! The male lead is a die-hard fan of the female lead! He calls her "baby" all the time, and the story is a mix of explicit and explicit content (more explicit than explicit). It's one of the few books I've read from cover to cover! It's incredibly good!!

   The male lead is utterly devoted to the female lead, feeling like he belongs to her and craving her possession. Even when someone insults him, asking, "Are you the female lead's dog?" He gets excited and wants to lick her. He repeatedly tells her his feelings and begs her to say she loves him too. He's a completely loyal and devoted man who can't live without her. I really want to see him utterly devoted to her, feeling like he belongs to her and wanting to be possessed by her. He'll rub against her like a big dog, wanting to be with her every day. He's a perfect gentleman in public, but a devoted and obsessive lover in private. What's even more endearing is that the female lead also likes him.

    Seriously, the male lead is incredibly clingy, the most puppy-like character I've ever read in a novel. He was already being two-faced in high school, and I really love this "high-and-mighty flower paired with a little sunshine" trope—who understands! The middle section about their school days is quite well-written, and the male lead has very strong values; he knows what he wants. He's truly aloof outside but a clingy puppy at home. The female lead is also so pitiful to watch. The earth revolves around the sun, and Pei Zhixing revolves around Shu Yan—I love this setup. They're both wonderful and deserve it!
