Men may afford to be frivolous in terms of romance, whereas women cannot. When men indulge in affairs, it often becomes a lighthearted topic of conversation, but can women do the same?

在情情爱爱的风花雪月中，男人玩得起，可女人玩不起。男人在外面风流快活还能成为一件茶余饭后谈论的风流韵事，笑笑也就过了。可我们女人可以吗？

Women tend to face more significant risks in love, so they often get hurt more than men.

她今生还恩，来世还情。可是他只要他还情。

From the outside, it appeared that getting married to such a wonderful gentleman—a man with virtue, talent, good looks, and a distinguished family background—would seem like a blessing from a past life. Yet she only felt the chilling wind and never-ending nights.

从外面看她若能嫁一个这样的集人品才华相貌与一身的世家公子是她前世修来的福气，可是她只感觉到寒风刺骨骨髓，长夜漫漫。

there was no way she could marry someone like him.

因为她不可能能够嫁给他这样身份的人。

By the time they met for the second time, he was already in love with her.

第二见面，其实他已经动心了。

He was incredibly conceited, and from a young age, ordinary people could never catch his eye. Although she was considered inferior, she had high ambitions, and ordinary people couldn't catch her interest either. In reality, they were both lonely and alike at heart. As a result, when they met, they felt an instant connection, as if they were long-lost friends.

他是个极其自负的人，所以自小就一般人入不了他的眼。

She didn’t want to hurt such a person because she would rather keep in mind this pure character, which tantalized her.

他这样的人，她不想招惹，因为她想留住这纯洁无瑕的白月光。

However, this man had always tried his best to be inseparable from her since the day he confessed. This man was her first love after all these years.

可是此人从那一次坦白后，他却总是想尽办法与她形影不离。这个人是她这么多年来第一次心动的男子。
