    This is practically a paradise for fans of side couples! In the first book, all of the female lead's nephews and brothers have romantic partners. In the second book, the female lead's seven brothers also have romantic partners, and their wives dote on her. The third book is about the female lead's daughter from the second book, and we're saying she's also very spoiled. The fourth book features the female lead's brothers, meaning her wives love her very much. The fifth book is amazing; I searched for ages to find it. Of course, my favorite is the female lead's eldest brother. The sixth book features a side couple. The 7th book features two male leads, and the 8th and 9th books are quite similar, with a feel of early classical Chinese literature. The male leads, brothers, and the female lead, best friends, all find happy endings. The 10th book features the female lead's sister and the male lead's subordinate, which is super sweet, but there's a particularly heartbreaking part later on. The female lead's sister is in a car accident, and I almost cried myself to death in the middle of the night. The first book isn't finished yet, but I love the side couple the most: the male lead's sister and his subordinate. The subordinate is determined to make a name for himself and be worthy of the female lead's sister. The 12th book features the male lead's nephew, which I love the most—a cute and adorable girl with a domineering hacker genius. The female lead's sister is also very good; she's with a police officer. The 13th book's epilogue is the one about the female lead's brother's desperate pursuit of his wife; it really makes people with low tear thresholds cry. Book 14 is about the female lead's two brothers' romantic storylines, especially her second brother's. The story doesn't delve too deeply into it, but it does explore the romantic relationships between the female lead's best friend (the male lead's sister) and the male lead's brothers. Book 15: You can skip the beginning, but you absolutely must read the epilogue. I really loved one girl for years, even confessing to her three times in a birthday gift—I must have missed it! He didn't even realize his feelings, so it was a long and arduous process of "chasing after her." There's also that super sweet older sister type. Book 16: The side couples mostly revolve around the male lead's brothers and the female lead's best friend. A movie star paired with a movie star—it's awesome! Book 17 features the female lead's older brother and a little sparrow. The little sparrow initially mistook the older brother for an old man. The female lead's second sister-in-law is a mature, sophisticated woman paired with a police officer. The female lead's fourth brother is a cute, puppy-like character paired with a mature, sophisticated woman. Book 18 is definitely the one with the female lead's brother and best friend; that one is the best.

The female supporting character is the original female lead, but she didn't follow the original storyline and end up with the male lead, nor did she become a villainous supporting character like in some books. Instead, she chose someone with little connection to the original plot and opened a guesthouse in a small town. There's a side story (a very heartwarming one). She's an incredibly cute girl! \(//∇//)\ By the way, I also really love the female lead.
