    Chapters 48 and up begin the story of raising a child from birth, focusing on the father-son relationship. The little boy is incredibly cute, the family's darling, and his interactions with his father are heartwarming. The father dotes on his son, even spanking him when he misbehaves, only to comfort him afterwards. From chapter 56 onwards, the little boy starts causing trouble, constantly troubling his father. After that, his bottom is never still; he's either getting spanked or on his way to one. Chapters 58, 65, 69, 71, 73, 75, 79, 80, 83, 88, 90, 110, 143, and 162 all feature scenes of him getting spanked.

    Reader note

    Highly recommend this book. It's a fanfiction of the novel and TV series "You Are My Glory." A female celebrity confesses her love in high school but is rejected because the male lead thinks she's too pretty to work hard with her. Eight years after graduation, they reunite, and the male lead finally sees her efforts and accepts her. They fall in love and spend their lives together—a perfect combination of high emotional intelligence and high IQ. The author's writing is romantic and vivid, the plot progresses logically, and the descriptions of various industries are accurate and insightful. It feels like something that happened around us, with various details echoing each other. Understanding it brings a knowing smile. It's far superior to those unrealistic, simplistic novels; it's a breath of fresh air amidst the flood of stories about wealthy families vying for power, academic jealousy, and top stars protecting their wives. The novel is sweet throughout, the characters are intelligent and articulate, and their values are very positive. It portrays the emotions and mutual support between partners in an incredibly romantic way. The only downside: after reading this, you won't be able to read 98% of other romance novels.

    Having read too many fast-paced, exciting novels, I now find slow-burning, gentle contemporary urban romance novels much more enjoyable! Personally, I think this is the pinnacle of slow-burn contemporary romance. The author's writing is excellent, the emotions are delicate, and it doesn't feel like a novel, but rather a life you could actually live in. Every character is distinct, even the supporting characters have their own storylines. The overall pace is relaxed and close to real life, perfect for slow, immersive reading. Highly recommended, you won't regret it!
