   This book is really good. The beginning focuses on the male and female leads' campus life. The female lead always treats the male lead as a substitute. Later, after they go to university, the male lead finds out and confronts her. They break up for seven years. The female lead returns to China, and the male lead uses despicable means to get her, successfully marrying her and keeping her by his side.
