Looking for books similar to Shock! The Mercenary Boss Is a Max-Level B-King. I absolutely love Lou Shifu's writing.

No sweet doting romance disguised as something else.

Looking for a Secret Identity Story About Two Male Leads!! The Identity Reveal Should Be So Satisfying!!
Looking for something like Days Spent Protecting My Secret Identity in the Interstellar Era. I want the secret identity to be impressive, while the person themselves seems weak to those around them, with a stark contrast between the two! Ideally, the person keeps their secret identity hidden the whole time. Thanks ╰(*´

It's good-looking, not embarrassing or obtrusive. Both male and female protagonists are smart people. Although there are stupid people, it doesn't affect them at all. In fact, even if the female protagonist pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, she doesn't have any influence from a god. It's quite interesting to strategize and evenly match them. I look forward to their subsequent battles. I don't want my wife to write about the kind of strong women and men who are stronger, so I just want to see them both being stronger or the female protagonist being stronger. I confess.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the heir to Ruisheng, the most powerful person in the Banyue Group, the painter Luo Shu, the boss behind Wujian Auction, Apocalypse K0... The image of the sickly and frail heroine is also very consistent with the character, the emotional line is a little slow but logical, the first kiss in Chapter 100 The person in charge of Yanlin, Apocalypse Y, Ande's senior brother... The male protagonist has power, wealth, and maximum force. The most important thing is to be good to the female protagonist!
I! Finally caught up with the update progress! As a veteran who relies heavily on horse racing, I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process of watching this horse racing. First of all, the emotional line is flowing smoothly! Unlike others that may be too fast-paced, the emotional descriptions are quite delicate! Congratulations to the author! After reading the whole article, I still feel very comfortable! There is nothing unnatural about the connection. The characters are very closely related! The heroine's various identities are connected very comfortably! The point where the horse falls is almost the same! It won't whet your appetite! The female protagonist is beautiful, strong and miserable. The male protagonist is rich, handsome and the key person still respects the female protagonist! The character design appealed to me, and the character creation was awesome. But there are still some small shortcomings. For example, I feel that there is no metaphysical element involved in the early stage? Or a technological element? I don't know what this is, it just came out of nowhere when I saw the back part (I didn't think about the ops in this regard as long as I saw the weak female protagonist in the front. Maybe I read it too fast or didn't read it concisely?. Hahaha) But this is a small problem! It was a bit sudden at the time, but after accepting this setting, it seemed quite interesting, and there were also some foreshadowings! It doesn't drag on, every chapter feels like it has something to say, and most of the emotions are very real! And I see that this book doesn't seem to have a sub-CP! This looks so comfortable to me! We just love watching the male and female protagonists! The emotional lines between men and women are so well written! Do you know how rare such emotional development is in this kind of fast-food love? And the heroine is really sane! High quality. All in all, this book is definitely worth the nine points! OK! Long comment asking for a flop! Please update! Please update!
It's not a cool story, but it's quite frustrating in the later stages. Firstly, the heroine is soft-hearted and always lets go of people who shouldn't be let go. Secondly, the male protagonist has a troublemaker around him who likes to act as a savior and persuade the heroine to put down her weapons. . . . If the victim doesn't agree, he should obey others' wishes and act like a holy mother. Hehehe. And it's best to be dead and broken. To put it mildly, the emotional line is quite smooth, and the plot line is the main focus, but it is a bit slow. It is okay in the early stage, but it is explosive in the later stage. Then the female protagonist is stronger and the male protagonist is weaker, but the female protagonist suffers a lot, and the male protagonist has never suffered hardship hahaha. I suspect that I love the man, but it's not obvious. Personally, the male protagonist didn't lose a hair during the whole process, hahahahaha, and the female protagonist went to the hospital n times. It would be nice if the male and female protagonists were reversed. That would be cool. Why do the female protagonists always have to endure hardship? The male protagonist is really weak in the ability to withstand stress. He needs to endure more hardship before he can become stronger. I'm about to see the finale. I'll look up and down to see if I can feel relieved. There were people behind me who advised me, "Tsk, and Zhuang's end is so simple, so what does the heroine suffer for everyone?" I feel sorry for the heroine. Zhu who feels happy must suffer as much as being influenced by Qi. Can't stand it at all.
Beautiful! It's different from other horse-drawing novels I've read before, and it's very novel. The male protagonist is attracted to the female protagonist before he does it, and he habitually takes care of her. In the end, I don't know whether it's because of habit or because he's attracted to her. The female protagonist's contrasting cuteness is also very nice. On the surface, she's smiling and weak, but in reality, she's capable and dignified. The supporting characters are also very cute. Except for some cannon fodder, the others are really good-looking!
It's super beautiful, and the author's writing style is very good. The heroine looks smiling on the surface and is not in good health, but she has the skills and vests. The interaction between the hero and the heroine is also very well written. It's not abrupt or embarrassing, and you don't fall in love all of a sudden. It can be regarded as a long-lasting emotional line, let it take its course. And the setting is a very novel one, and the plot is also well written, with both refreshing and sweet aspects. All in all, it's very beautiful. I hope you can read more. It's not enough, but please take some rest.
I just read more than ten chapters. Overall, the pace is very comfortable and I didn't feel frustrated at all. The male protagonist is also very well-educated and very polite even if I don't like him yet. I hope you won't disappoint me in the follow-up 💕
Nice!!! Although she is a sickly young lady, she is very capable, but her body is relatively weak. I am particularly looking forward to the way the heroine will fall off her horse after she gets well. It is very cool aaaaa (I just feel that the heroine is the kind of female domineering boss, calm, very intimidating, aloof, and very cold aaaa I like it so much!!! Although the relationship with the male protagonist is currently progressing slowly, I am also looking forward to it)
It's good to watch, the plot is reasonable and logical, the male is strong and the female is stronger, it's an absolute strong female novel, the feelings of the male and female protagonists are all step by step, very good, I like this emotional line, the female protagonist pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, it's really cool hahaha, the article is very interesting in many places.
To be honest, I rarely write book reviews, but this thing is really one of the best ones I have ever read among the Tomato vests. I'm not saying it's ridiculous, but those individual vests tell you not to worry about too much details, so don't criticize them. The problem is that the heroine's character development is very problematic, and the plots are more unreasonable than the last one (you can check my bookshelf, I have read many different ones). Some of my favorite points about this book: 1. The two big guys didn't fall in love at first sight. The relationship developed slowly but they are really sweet. 2. The heroine does not rely on the waistcoat to gain the hero's appreciation slowly. The waistcoat itself is just a seasoning, and their identities are well matched. Many waistcoat stories insist on writing the heroine's status at the beginning as very low, and then marrying a high-status male protagonist. Then she starts to question the hero, becomes indifferent, and finally slaps him in the face. Then the hero starts to appreciate the heroine. Then let me put it bluntly, does the hero like the heroine or the heroine's waistcoat? Does he value the heroine more or really like this person? 3. Two strong men do not mean a strong man and a strong woman. To put it bluntly, this is a female channel showing off the charm of the male protagonist. Although the female protagonist is a sickly young lady, she is self-aware and has a bunch of bodyguards around her. There will never be kidnappings or brain-dead plots and then wait for the male protagonist to save her and the relationship will heat up. Of course, there are some episodes that I find a bit unpleasant to watch, but overall I really like them. For example, the one with Yuan Shishuang and the one in the banquet company, but they are not worth mentioning and do not affect the overall look. Also, it is quite annoying that Zhuang Zhuxue jumps around every day, but this thing can be regarded as promoting the plot. Otherwise, how can the boss behind the scenes be brought out, how can the male and female protagonists fight the boss together and then it will be completed. Overall, it's still very good. The main reason is that what this Zhuang is doing is getting more and more outrageous. In order to protect the old lady, the achievements of more than ten years cannot be destroyed. However, the harm itself lies in the incomplete "Qi", which has also harmed the heroine for many years. (In fact, I want to know that the information that the old lady has researched for more than ten years is still there. Why has no one been able to study it more than 20 years ago?) The more this thing gets faster, the more panicked I get, and it will harm the heroine's mother. If I don't kill Zhuang as soon as possible, I will destroy Qi. When the time comes when Zhuang disappears and the necklace is in the hands of others, a second and third harmful spirit like Zhuang appears.
