He neglects his family business to pursue racing, and has declared, "Girls are too much trouble, I'll never date one." But after meeting a spoiled heiress, he completely breaks down: He used to never have anyone in the passenger seat, but now he only gives her a place; he used to find her nagging, but after she told him "Don't drive too fast," he converted his race car into a daily driver; even his "Freedom First" tattoo has been secretly altered by adding her initials. The Beijing elites laugh at him for "losing his freedom," but he spoils her even more: "I'm happy to indulge her; she's most adorable when she's being demanding."

    "I'll Be Good When You're Fierce: A Sweet and Wonderful Romance" My darlings, today I'm recommending a super interesting novel—"I'll Be Good When You're Fierce." This story is like a sweet fruit candy, the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes. The main characters are Lin Qingwu and Lu Yansheng, and when these two come together, it's like a bolt from the blue. Let's start with their first encounter. On the first day of school at Peking University, Lu Yansheng spotted Lin Qingwu at the bus stop near the school gate. Lin Qingwu was wearing a cropped top, and her long pink hair flowed beautifully in the sunlight. She was frowning, raising her hand to shield her eyes from the sun, while simultaneously stuffing earphones into her ears—her posture was both lazy and impatient. With just that one glance, Lu Yansheng labeled Lin Qingwu as a "slender-waisted delinquent girl." But stories can't be that simple, right? Later, Lin Qingwu approached Lu Yansheng at a bar booth. Her cool, aloof eyes met his, filled with a playful glint, and she asked in a hooking tone, "Handsome, wanna hit on?" Wow, this scene was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. The bar was dimly lit and noisy, but Lu Yansheng saw his reflection clearly in Lin Qingwu's eyes, along with her barely concealed desire and restraint. The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous. Lu Yansheng, that guy, immediately wrapped his hand around Lin Qingwu's slender waist, his eyes as aggressive as a cheetah's. He thought, "Lin Qingwu, as long as it's you, that's enough." After that, the two of them were like glued together. Everyone predicted that Lu Yansheng would be thoroughly played by Lin Qingwu, but what actually happened? Lin Qingwu, abandoning her usual carefree demeanor, became limp and coquettish, occasionally squeezing the man's fingers, tilting her head back and looking at Lu Yansheng pitifully, saying, "Why are you still angry? I always behave when you're mean..." That evening, the girl's slender, delicate wrist rested lightly on the mirror, and behind her came the man's low, husky command: "Hold on tight, stand firm." Oh my, doesn't this image make your face flush? This novel is brimming with the sweet flavor of youthful romance, from campus to the city, filled with open and covert seduction. The "double purity + sweet romance" setting makes it even sweeter to read. At 261,000 words, it's like a feast of youth, immersing the reader completely. The author, "A Cat Under the Tree," writes the story so vividly, like watching a movie right before your eyes. If you love youthful campus romance and are powerless against stories with a touch of ambiguity and sweetness, then this book, *I Behave When You're Stern*, will definitely keep you engrossed. It'll feel like falling into a honey pot, so sweet you won't want to leave! Go read it for free now, my darlings! 😉

    🖤Older, fatherly lover, incredibly powerful, doting husband, and possessive wife—it's a super good read! The female lead is delicate and sweet; you can tell how good it is just from the reviews! The pacing is fast; the very first chapter features kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides—super sweet, with absolutely no angst! The male lead has impeccable morals, and while the female lead is delicate and a little arrogant, she's not brainless. Highly recommended!
