    This book, with its ambiguous tug-of-war between two people, is full of exciting plot points. It features sweet moments from everyday life as well as the true luxury of the wealthy. The male and female leads are exactly what I envisioned. When there are misunderstandings, they resolve them in time. "I love you" doesn't just mean that I give you the money I earn, but that I teach you how to understand business. Whether you do it right or wrong, I have the ability to protect you. "Chairman, Madam, we have established an offshore, irrevocable, and non-retroactive risk-averse trust, located in the dual jurisdiction of Liechtenstein and Zurich, which has some of the world's strictest privacy laws. Madam is the sole first-in-line beneficiary of this trust, possessing absolute and exclusive disposal rights..." Xie Jing grasped Jiang Chu's hand and explained in a low voice, "I hold no share in it, so any debt collection or judicial freezing against Tianyu Group or myself will not touch a single penny of this trust." The actuary paused, then swiped the screen: "To mitigate the risks of virtual assets and stock market volatility, the assets injected into the trust do not include Tianyu Group's stock. Instead—" "First, the ownership of eleven top-tier commercial properties in London's Hyde Park, New York's Manhattan district, Tokyo's Ginza, and Zurich's shopping district, all unsecured, solely for rental income, and without any financial leverage." "Second, physical gold reserve certificates held in custody by a Swiss bank, and sovereign bonds guaranteed by Lloyd's of London." "Third, the trust has established an independent art management fund, which has already purchased twenty-four top-tier artworks for asset preservation." The actuary took a deep breath and announced a startling figure: "According to current calculations, even without any high-risk second-phase investments, the annualized risk-free rental income from these eleven commercial properties alone is enough to cover the daily operating expenses of more than a dozen family offices." Jiang Chu: "…" Jiang Chu was a little stunned. At this moment, the chief lawyer glanced at Xie Jing with some difficulty and cut to the most sensitive legal clause: "Chairman, regarding your marriage. As is customary, in order to protect the group's structure, is it necessary for the wife to sign a prenuptial agreement? For example, cough, if extreme circumstances such as a breakdown of the marriage occur in the future, will the trust assets need to…" "No."

    ① Personally, I don't find it scary [laughs] 💥 Zuo Cheng'an is unexpectedly drawn into a world survival game, directly awakening the unique god-level skill "Eye of Truth," seeing through the hidden truth of the game and the true nature of the audience. Humans desperately trying to survive in the dungeons are merely experimental subjects for others to observe. 🎭 Zuo Cheng'an has no intention of being manipulated by others, using "Eye of Truth" to find a way to survive in various dungeons. 🔥 There is no romantic subplot, purely no female lead, coupled with a slightly lighthearted and humorous writing style, making you laugh until you're hitting the bed while simultaneously getting your blood pumping.

    I recently read three really good novels, and as a seasoned bookworm with eight years of reading experience, I highly recommend them to you. The first one has a unique plot, a humorous style, and each character has a distinct personality. The second one features a male lead who is a pure, older man who dotes on the female lead. Although his domineering CEO personality is a bit eccentric, he paves the way for everything for her. The third one is a period drama about marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, and it's also very good.
