   Ahhhh, I've found a great book!!! It absolutely meets all the criteria!!! Don't be put off by the rating!!! I don't know why it's so low!!! The author's writing is excellent. There's a little bit of a second male lead's downfall in the beginning, the male lead's years-long unrequited love finally pays off, and the female lead finally realizes she mistook someone for someone else and understands her own feelings. Actually, the male and female leads had a connection much earlier, but the female lead didn't recognize the male lead because he was covered in blood and mud at the time. I actually think that's normal, unlike other stories where the protagonist is kidnapped and falls down a mountain as a child, covered in blood and mud, yet still easily recognized as an adult. Enough said!! Trust me, you won't regret buying it!!

    "Sweetie, Mommy's taking you to change your clothes, we're going out!" Yu Siyi put down his picture book and ran to Jin Qiao. Jin Qiao picked him up and, instead of going to his room, took him to her walk-in closet first. "Sweetie, what color do you want to wear today?" Yu Siyi thought for a moment and pointed to a long dress in the closet. "This light yellow one?" Yu Siyi nodded, clinging to his mother's arm. Jin Qiao took it out and held it up against herself. "Mommy thinks this dress needs a belt." She found a slightly retro belt and went to change, satisfied. "Come on, now it's your turn to choose your clothes!" Yu Siyi was very opinionated and picked out a light yellow tracksuit. Jin Qiao helped him put it on and then ruffled his soft hair. "Give Mommy a little time, Mommy's going to do my makeup." Yu Siyi gave her an OK sign, something he'd learned from watching his mother watch short videos yesterday. Jin Qiao was completely charmed by his cuteness once again.
