By day, he's a cold-faced boss, but by night, he holds her in his arms and kisses her until she cries: "Only I can taste my sister's candy." ~💗~ Lu Zhuoyang cornered his little darling Qiao Tian in the kitchen, his Adam's apple bobbing: "If you hide again, I'll make you cry and call me brother tonight." The next second, however, he fed her a peeled shrimp: "Sweetie, try the braised pork I made for you with love." "💪• The contrast between a rugged, fatherly man and a doting husband: Outside, he's a testosterone-fueled, tough-guy boss; at home, he transforms into a doting husband! When his sweet little girl frowns and says she's afraid of the dark, he installs warm lights throughout the house overnight; if anyone dares to bully her, he'll grab a wrench and storm to their doorstep, then turn around and softly coax her: 'I've got your back, don't cry~'" A combination of younger, doting affection and a fatherly boyfriend's contrasting charm—sweet to the point of being breathless! 2️⃣. "His Sister-in-Law Became His Wife, and the Cold-Faced Rough Man Panicked" A masterpiece of time-travel fiction!

From then on, his military bag is filled with rouge and powder, and his battle plans include a schedule to steal hair ties from the supply and marketing cooperative for his wife. 🔥 A period drama + a marriage-of-convenience-to-love twist, the plot is so satisfying you won't want to stop reading! 3️⃣. "With a Spoiled Darling in My Arms, the Rough Guy Can't Resist Flirting" The ultimate sweet romance! A pampered educated youth is reborn and pursues a rough-looking farming man.
