Finished reading on October 15, 2025. The whole story revolves around the heroine Pei Xi, from campus high school to university to graduation and wedding. The full story is long and flowing. She is the savior of the male protagonist, a light in his life, and the belief that the male protagonist strives hard/hard. Although the male protagonist Jiang Cheng did not have a perfect birth or a complete family, and his mother did not deserve such an excellent Jiang Cheng, he has relied on his hard-working hands since he was a child. Although he has endured countless hardships, he has carried It has been a lot of tiring, growing up, and hard work, but in the end, all the efforts and rewards are worth it. He deserves better, and he deserves Pei Xi. The heroine's brother is the brightest in the novel, protects the heroine, gives more love than her mother, and loves the heroine the most. He is the most humorous couple when he is with his good partner Shi Chen. By the way, the scene the heroine dreams about at the beginning, from my perspective, is neither rebirth nor time travel, it is about seeing the future and preventing all bad things from happening. It is a book worth reading for the book friends I met. It was full of tears in the middle, sad and touching. It would be more complete if or in the end the couple had a pair of babies in the extra story.

The plot begins with the female protagonist being betrayed by her scumbag fiancé and stepsister, and then kicked out of the house by her father. She faints in pain during a heavy rainstorm. She was rescued by the male protagonist... And then the male protagonist supported the female protagonist and tore apart those who had bullied the female protagonist... This novel is very interesting. The male protagonist loves the female protagonist and has been planning for a long time. He understands the female protagonist very carefully. The heroine looks weak and well-behaved, but in fact she becomes stronger when she encounters the strong, and she has brains and IQ.

The "walking towards the light" love between the drug undercover male protagonist and the surgeon female protagonist is so sweet and sad. The tension of the first encounter, the reunion after amnesia, combined with the setting of "you protect the country, I protect the world", make love full of weight. Part of the plot is a bit "brainless", but the flaws are not concealed. It is not just a sweet pet of the boss, but also allows us to see the difficulties of the anti-drug police - they are the nameless stars in the darkness, and they sacrifice for our peace.
