I was twisting and turning in bed! I laughed like a pig in the middle of the night! 🔥🔥🔥😋 The characters are absolutely amazing! The female lead, Shao Yu'an—by day she's a crybaby 🐰, by night she's a cold-blooded conglomerate queen 👑! Who understands this extreme contrast! Watching her pretend to be weak to fool everyone, and then suddenly reveal her true colors, slapping the scumbag in the face, I just screamed ahhhhhh! The male lead, Yu Chen—from an arrogant CEO who thought, "What else can you do besides look good?" To a devoted husband chasing after his wife with fervent pleas, "Wife, I was wrong!" His evolution of kneeling before his wife is hilarious! Watching him kneel and beg for reconciliation is so satisfying it gives me goosebumps! A story of a domineering CEO, a wife-chasing frenzy, frequent revelation of identities, and sweet, satisfying face-slapping moments—you have to read it!! 😍 Warning: Super sweetness level: The later stages with the devoted male lead are absolutely saccharine! He cooks for his wife every day, takes her to hot springs, and shows her flower fields. His line, "My wife, Yu Chen's wife, deserves to be spoiled rotten," completely captivated me! Their daily bickering after marriage is also incredibly cute—even when his sweet and sour pork ribs are burnt to a crisp, his wife still praises him, hahaha!
