[The second male lead wins + regret and groveling + pseudo-taboo romance]
[Clear-headed, easygoing, sharp-tongued little princess vs. cool, aloof CEO who's devoted to his wife]
Zhu Xiao and Lu Yuning grew up together, and their families agreed they would get engaged after graduation.
But the young are fickle. Lu Yuning falls in love with a junior from his department.
Unwilling to settle, Zhu Xiao wishes them well and calls off the engagement. Being happily single suits her just fine.
Later, Lu Yuning realizes how he truly feels and, trying to play it cool, extends an olive branch. “Zhu Xiao, I've recently realized I quite like you.”
Then he sees his uncle, Lu Huaili, a man known for his disinterest in women, pull the girl into his arms with a cold expression and scold her: “Have some respect. She's your little aunt.”
Lu Yuning: “???”

Everyone thinks the heir to the powerful Lu family in the capital isn't interested in women. What they don't know is that all these years, she's the only one he's been waiting for.
The book abruptly ended halfway through its plot. I wonder why the author ended it. Overall, it was alright... I hope everyone finds happiness! Lu Huaili ❤️ Zhu Xiao
It was pretty good, but I just didn't understand who the final boss was.
I never knew sweet potatoes could be eaten this way!
The book was pretty well written, but it still didn't reveal who the murderer was in the end 😂
The beginning was alright, but the investigation ended abruptly afterward, without clearly explaining the relationship between the two characters. It all just rushed off.
The story of love, hate, and intrigue within a wealthy family is well-written and quite enjoyable.
Breaking up with a jerk and finding his brother-in-law—it elevates his family's status; it's quite a story.
