    This book is super interesting! But if you're looking for a strong, independent couple, don't click on it! This is basically a story of the male and female leads' easy wins, relying on their older brother and sister-in-law in the early stages, and their daughter and nephew later on. The side couples are also quite interesting: Lu Shangxiao x Gu Yuan (the male lead's older brother, originally a villain, now a protective, hardworking father supporting his younger brother and sister-in-law x his sister-in-law who wanted to steal his child but ended up getting herself involved); Tang Yunjing x Tan Yi (originally a love-struck girl, the female lead's best friend is a super rich heiress x the male lead's brother, their illegitimate child). The short side stories about bickering lovers, forced marriage, and pure hatred against a junior are also quite interesting.

At that time, he disdained to explain, continuing his daily life of eating, drinking, and having fun, much to his parents' dismay! "Dad, I didn't drive over the farmland. My car never went there." Jiang Chen spoke clearly and calmly, explaining himself. In this life, he wouldn't be so foolish as to let certain people have their way. "Not you? There are witnesses and physical evidence. You're lying without batting an eye now, aren't you?" Hearing this, Jiang Yanshen was so angry that he almost hit him.
