   A girl from Zhenpu harbors a deep crush on someone from a vastly different social class. They were childhood sweethearts, but he repeatedly tells everyone about her embarrassing crush, claiming it's bothering him. Heartbroken, she remains silent, hiding her feelings like a coward. Her unspoken love often brings her to tears. He finally asks her if she has a crush on him. Unaware of his sweaty palms, she counters by asking if he has a crush on her. Her hands tremble, and she tries to remain calm behind her back. His ears turn red, his heart races, and he seems about to pull something out of his pocket, but she runs away like a coward. He transfers schools, and they believe they'll never be entangled again. In college, she hears that familiar voice being confessed to by the school beauty. He calls her his girlfriend, but then tells her she's just a shield. Enraged, she publicly insults him. Both of them are caught in a web of love and hate. Torn between intertwined pain and bitterness, everyone said she was lucky enough to be ordinary and even rejected the school heartthrob. She ran away arrogantly, unaware that her mother's heirloom, a yellowed pearl hairpin, was missing. She cried as she looked back, only to see him holding the hairpin and giving it to her. The school beauty stomped on her and threw five yuan at her, humiliating her. She decided to take revenge, threatening him to see the school beauty with her. The school beauty later offered her money to leave him, and she agreed, then suffered amnesia. He, however, took advantage of her amnesia, claiming to be her boyfriend. His mother found her and offered her five million to leave him, and she agreed to study abroad as quickly as possible. Upon returning home, she didn't know he had become her CEO. She regained her memory, and he proposed. She only cared about the ring, not him as a free gift. He imprisoned her. During their marriage registration, she tried to escape, but he blocked her way. At the wedding, the school beauty appeared.

    Both female protagonists come from small-town, high-achieving families. Ms. Wu, who rejects marriage into a wealthy family, has a deep love affair with a rich young man and a chance encounter after starting work. However, at the crucial step of discussing marriage, the vast class difference prevents her from marrying him, and she ultimately chooses to have children with a man of the same class. Ms. Cheng, even with a son and a daughter, still struggles to gain acceptance from her wealthy in-laws. Although she only meets the male protagonist by chance and is genuinely loved by him, she must carefully endure the unpleasantness caused by the huge class difference in their de facto marriage while striving to build a business to prove she is not marrying for status. There are no melodramatic plot twists; they are simply the daily lives of ordinary women grappling with anxieties about marrying into wealth.

    This is definitely the book! The female lead is a bit of a wimp, but incredibly strong. She grows up step by step, relying on herself to stand by the male lead's side, who in turn protects her. It's a very sweet and heartwarming story, without any melodrama. However, the male and female leads are about ten years apart in age, so please proceed with caution if you're concerned about that!
