    "Creamy Unrequited Love" is also a great read; I bought the physical book. It's about a national defense student and a young veterinarian, childhood sweethearts, a lighthearted bickering relationship at first, but sweet later on. It features a naive and honest girl and a sharp-tongued childhood friend who's also very good at sweet talk.

Once, after an argument, he cried in frustration, and the female lead had to comfort him. She even gave him a nickname, "Zhu Jiaojiao"... It's hilarious [crying with laughter]. 🍁In the beginning, the female lead disagreed with marrying the male lead, and he directly said, "You name the dowry, I'll set the date." And his handwriting is incredibly ugly, the worst I've ever seen [awkward laughter][awkward laughter]. So when he wrote the marriage certificate, he wrote it many times and didn't dare show it to the female lead, afraid of being ridiculed. Seriously, I'm dying of laughter [facepalm]. 🍁Male lead: "Wife, I'll be scared to sleep alone if it rains heavily~~~" Female lead disagrees, and sneaks into bed with him in the middle of the night.🍁The male lead is ruthless and decisive outside, but when he comes home, he licks his wife faster than a dog.
