   Both books are incredibly good, I'm totally shipping them!! The body type difference is perfect!!! The first one (the male lead cooks, talks flirtatiously, and is a doting father figure who takes care of everything; the female lead is pampered from childhood, a useless housework girl, a sweet and gentle fairy). The second one: Xiang Ye went abroad for 10 years, only to be ordered back by his grandfather. With sharp features and a well-defined face, he wears a black suit that accentuates his tall and imposing figure. Years of rigorous training have given him a thuggish air. Just as he enters the courtyard, a white figure falls off the swing. "Who are you?" Hearing this, Jiang Li anxiously squats down, searching for her white cane, and carefully answers, "Your arranged marriage partner." "?"

When they got to his house, he threw her on the bed, then pulled out a suitcase from under the bed, unlocked it, and picked it up. Stacks of money fell out: "You just think I'm poor, don't you?"
