   "In that case, here's one million, we're even!" The woman took out a bank card without a PIN from her small bag, tossed it in front of Zhao Tianyi, and then turned and left the ward. By the time Zhao Tianyi reacted, the ward door had already closed. Along with the black gold card, a beautifully designed business card also fell to the ground. Lin Linglin? CEO of the Lin Group in Ludao City? "Lin Linglin, zero zero zero! Three zeros! This name is so hard to pronounce!" Zhao Tianyi muttered, looking annoyed. "Is this woman stupid and rich with nowhere to spend her money? She just casually tossed out a million! Who does she think she is?" Below was a phone number. Zhao Tianyi glanced at it, feeling utterly helpless… What did she mean by leaving a business card? Oh, so it's Lin Linglin, not three zeros! She has a name. Just like her, aloof and cold. Zhao Tianyi stared blankly at the black gold card and business card in his hand. Suddenly, he realized that the name Lin Linglin gave him a feeling of being both somewhat unfamiliar and strangely drawn to her. "Lin Linglin, my name is Zhao Tianyi!" Zhao Tianyi suddenly shouted towards the ward door as if waking from a dream. "I know your name. Super country bumpkin, just sounds like a poor loser!" Just then, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Linglin walked in as if possessed, her eyes filled with disdain!

    [Sparrow's Delight] is truly a genre I've never seen before. Some say it's similar to Yu Zui, but I haven't read Yu Zui, so I won't comment on that. However, the plot details and logic are incredibly smooth. While it might lean towards a lighthearted, wish-fulfillment style with too many plot twists and some melodramatic moments that feel contrived, this is, after all, a web novel, even a unique kind of wish-fulfillment novel. It's enjoyable to read, and at the same time, you can feel the positive messages within the story, which is quite rare.

    My humble work is presented here. Please feel free to offer your critiques. It's an urban farming and child-raising story, with commercial elements as a secondary focus, and it's not very long. The main plot revolves around the love-hate relationship between a chubby little boy and his elderly father. The little boy is adorable with his three-headed chibi style, a sweet and gentle child in public, but a rebellious one in private. He always manages to unknowingly hit his father's sore spot, and is incredibly filial. It's a story about a doting family, with virtually no villains. The author aims to depict a relatively ideal society. The opening uses the popularity of Harbin, but this aspect isn't emphasized much in the later plot. Those interested can give it a check it out.
