   Although the female lead was already being pursued by the male lead before she was even an adult [making a face], he still waited until she went to university. There was no coercion or obsessive behavior; things progressed naturally. The female lead confessed first, and they pursued each other. It's an absolutely sweet and doting story.

    1. Pei Wang is initially ill-equipped and incapable of love, only capable of leading by example. Later, he becomes incredibly sweet and romantic, so feel free to read on, but proceed with caution! Serious synopsis: Pei Wang is known in the circle for his aloofness, coldness, and ruthlessness. Every second is under his control, and human nature is entirely at his disposal. This ruthless character, with a heart of stone, possesses a captivating face and a sharp tongue that can kill. He has ruined the hearts of countless elegant ladies. To the actress who was throwing herself at him—"Knowing when to back down is human nature, but knowing when to be a mistress is even more so. I suggest you keep your distance from married men in the future." To the young, lecherous rival—"Mandarin ducks? Only those in the same pond are mandarin ducks. What is Shen Yi's status? What is his status? A tortoise trying to ride a phoenix's back? It's better to avoid doing things that will only bring humiliation upon oneself." To his siblings and closest relatives—"After I've been a little more patient, do you think you're all that again? If it weren't for our blood ties, you wouldn't even have the right to talk to me." He was ruthless and cold-blooded, attacking everyone indiscriminately. Everyone thought Pei Wang had no weaknesses, that he was invincible. At the dinner party, someone accidentally stumbled upon a scene in the restroom. A man with red eyes, holding a young girl's slender waist, buried his face in the crook of her neck, coaxing and pleading—"Yi Yi, don't leave me, I'll die without you..." Deeply infatuated, he was passionate; when sober, he was intoxicated. 2. Jiang Fu transmigrated. Bad news: she became a cannon fodder female supporting character. Good news: she was saved by the female lead's father. Bad news: the original cannon fodder body asked Jiang Fu to give her a different life, not to be a cannon fodder, but to have a happy life and marry into a wealthy family. Good news: Jiang Fu was rescued from the water by the female lead's father (perfect for framing him). After all, the female lead's father was single and a high-status beauty in the capital. [What's that saying again? "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for ye may ye have no flowers left to pluck!"] Also, the original cannon fodder body's tragic fate was all orchestrated by the crown prince male lead. So, if she became the crown prince's mother-in-law... Jiang Fu felt she was incredibly clever, so... "Waaah, Duke, you've ruined my innocence! You have to take responsibility!" Zhao Yuan: He thinks he hit his head while saving her. He thinks his brain is damaged. He heard that vicious girl's inner thoughts. And she wasn't just vicious, she was also... So shameless. Zhao Yuan: If I had known it would be like this, I should have made you drown. Jiang Fu: Never mind, I'll just kiss him and leave a mark. The Duke, who was publicly humiliated... He's ruined his reputation... Ahhh, I want to strangle him. Later... He thinks I'm too old? The Duke proved himself through his actions. What? Like an old ox, only knowing how to use brute force? Not as good as a male prostitute at Qingyun Tower? What tower? When did such a place appear in the capital? There isn't one at all! 3. Eighteen-year-old Su Zijin woke up to find that seven years had passed. Holy crap, her once round belly had become a tiny waist!

Until one day, someone sweetly called out, "Husband!" He froze, took a deep breath, and the feeling was... Incredible.
