The Proud Mr. Mu's Diary of Begging for Affection

[Both leads are devoted to each other + naive and adorable + secret crush + cool and cocky + nurturing, fatherly romance + reunion after a long separation + boldly pursuing love + scheming]

Simple-minded, clueless sweetheart VS domineering, cunning wolf-dog type

First stage:

The extremely timid second daughter of the Qiu family, who can only suffer in silence behind closed doors, is forced into an arranged marriage with a cunning, top-tier tycoon from an elite family who pretends to be her childhood friend. Her resistance is futile, and he takes her by force as his bride. In the prime of her youth, she has to work hard to earn enough money to divorce him, never imagining that she has already walked straight into the elaborate scheme of a top tycoon in A City.

Final stage:

She sobs and begs the tycoon for a divorce, but he pins her in his arms and gently wipes the tears from the corners of her eyes, then growls, “I told you to explain why you're crying, not to make a wish while you're with me.”

In the military circles of L Country, everyone says their cold, abstinent, captivating strategist has an ex-wife who cheated on him. They clamor to help him get revenge. But when she really shows up, the mood changes completely, and everyone cries, “How can this girl be both so timid and so bold?”

In a corner where no one can see, Mu Cheng presses his lips together and quietly watches her arguing with someone outside, loudly insisting, “Mu Cheng is mine. I'll win him over sooner or later!”

The heroine is simple-hearted but won't let others push her around. She also has an occasional knack for surprising people and delivering memorable one-liners... (I'm waving the banner for Hua Hua!)

(I deleted Jiang Rou's complete story because putting it in the short story would have involved plagiarism. I forgot to save it, so the preface to Volume Five doesn't make sense, and the best parts are gone too. You'll have to make do. I'll add it back when I get the chance. I really love their story so much, I'm crying.)
