   I only recommend this one: Have you ever thought that you're not actually from an ordinary family, but rather a super-rich second-generation heir? It features a mature woman in black stockings, a protective mother, a doting father, a constant aunt-like smile, and financial freedom. There are no old-fashioned, self-deprecating tropes; it's a very enjoyable read.

   [Crying] When I first saw the title [Sending My Heart], I almost gave up reading it. However, I couldn't find any other good books at the time, and seeing so many reviews highly recommending it, I decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, I couldn't stop reading! [Crying] The content is so wonderful. Many plot points are incredibly realistic, the characters are vividly portrayed, and the plot flows smoothly without any dragging. I've already read over two hundred chapters, and every chapter is of high quality. This book is incredibly immersive; it's truly the best novel I've read on the Tomato platform, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. However, when I read about the scenes between Xu Min and the protagonist, I always feel a pang of sadness, though I can't quite explain why.
