Everyone loves the female lead, and this love includes family, friendship, and so on.

    The first book I'll definitely read if you stay up all night! I'm a Chinese person, not a Chinese person. After reading novels for so many years, this is the first and only political intrigue novel I've read that took me almost 100 hours to finish. I even admire myself! Is there anyone who hasn't read Lv Songli, the leading lady of Tomato's novels?! Absolutely amazing! The male lead's entire family is exiled, and the female lead accompanies him through hardships, arranging countless escape routes to ensure everyone reaches their place of exile safely. Later, she establishes a power base and becomes an empress... ② A truly historical novel about high-ranking officials in power, where the female lead is both doting and protective. She's a native and shrewd. Highly recommended!

Shang Chen was rejecting a proposal, his brows furrowed, his aura imposing. The regional head who submitted the proposal was sweating profusely from the criticism. Just as the atmosphere became incredibly tense, a little head suddenly popped out from Shang Chen's arms. Everyone in the meeting looked on in astonishment. Shang Chen remained expressionless, gently placing his hand on the little surprise's head and pressing her down slightly. He was afraid of hurting his daughter, so he used very little force, allowing the little surprise to slip in. The little girl nimbly climbed onto his lap and brought her head close to the computer screen. Shang Chen: "..." The little surprise pointed at a section of the computer screen and excitedly shouted, "Daddy!" Her fair, delicate face magnified on the screen, looking especially adorable. Shang Chen's expression couldn't hold back; with a hint of helplessness, he hugged the little surprise. "Daddy's here." The little surprise turned around, saw Shang Chen, and immediately beamed, revealing her pink gums: "Daddy!" Then she pounced on Shang Chen.
