    I initially thought it was a story about a cold and aloof CEO, but after reading a dozen chapters, I realized the male lead is actually a very down-to-earth and artistic CEO. He loves painting, can't ride horses, and can't play basketball; he plays badminton with his best friend. The female lead is more of a strong, independent woman type; she can ride horses and race cars. It often felt like the roles of the male and female leads were reversed, but it felt quite novel. Also, the author is male, so in that aspect, it felt a bit different from female authors. [Staring][heart]

    Both the male and female leads are incredibly adorable. Grandpa Qi and the little girl are childhood sweethearts. The male lead has a sharp tongue but is fiercely protective of the female lead; she's his bottom line, and he can't bear to see her suffer any injustice. The female lead is cute with a cool demeanor, while the male lead is cheeky with a warm one. Originally, the story revolves around a rural couple. Because the male lead is a child of the Qi family who was abandoned, he takes the female lead to Kongcheng (I'm not sure if this is the correct name). Then, the female lead awakens to the truth: it's just a novel, and she's the villainous female supporting character in this novel who abandoned Grandpa Qi's fiancée and left the original male lead when he was at his poorest. Our little girl is also the true heiress of the Zhu family, though the Zhu family doesn't know yet. Anyway, it's a very good story. Forgive my poor explanation, but it's just so cute!!!
