He has been planning this for a long time and has a physical attraction to her. He loves kissing, hugging, and lifting her up high. He wants to keep his wife by his side 24 hours a day. The only downside is that it is still being serialized.

    This book is amazing! There are occasional minor issues, but they don't affect the overall experience. It's not a typical "strong female lead" story; the female protagonist gradually becomes stronger, which I love! 💪 The system rarely appears; she relies entirely on her own hard work! If you don't like stories with overpowered protagonists, hurry up and read on! It's definitely worth keeping reading! Keep up the good work, author!

    In the first book, the female lead's nickname was given to her by the male lead. She was 14 years old when her parents passed away, and the male lead took her home. The author's writing is superb! In the second book, he was the sun in her life, shining upon her and warming her. She pouted, "Uncle, I've fallen for you." "Girl, you're still young, we're not suitable." He looked at her, sighed deeply, and turned away. "You're still a student, I'm not an animal."

    This uncle is none other than the female lead's "little uncle," though they're not related by blood. In her eyes, what kind of "little uncle" is he? Having been given a second chance at life, she's no longer the spoiled, pampered, and manipulative young lady. She's now in "fishing mode," blatantly throwing herself at the male lead, flirting and acting cute. Although the male lead watched her grow up, played with her, let her be, tutored her, and forbade her from dating early—a typical feudal father figure—he actually harbors feelings for her. He always thought she was too young to face his own feelings, but he repeatedly restrained himself when faced with her direct advances. Seeing the men surrounding her, all eyeing her covetously, he couldn't take it anymore! He was going to steal her away! Haha 🥰
