❣️❣️Hilarious! The male and female leads have a 6-year age gap. The female lead is a super funny and quirky girl, the darling of her family. She's lewd and fierce, often making dirty jokes, and very cunning. She weighs 100 pounds but has 99 pounds of cunning—that's her! Her husband often jokes that she was reincarnated as a honeycomb briquette in her past life, hence her dark and cunning nature. Hahaha! But the female lead is also very smart. She and her brother are a bickering couple. The male lead dotes on the female lead. He's a pillar of the company but a pushover at home. The characters in the whole book are well-developed and humorous. Some chapters are particularly funny and will make you laugh until you're breathless.
