    I can't believe anyone hasn't read this yet! 👇🏻 Wen Wan chose to leave home because her father married his first love shortly after her mother's death. Her father always thought she went to the countryside because of her high level of political awareness, but in reality, this pretty and charming young woman was sharp-tongued and never one to back down. Lu Dongping knew at first sight that Wen Wan was a troublemaker, but he was smitten with her beauty, and thus began his pursuit and doting on her. I recommend good books 📖, all of them are great, there's bound to be one you'll love—a period drama where a rough man dotes on his beautiful wife.
