    The first book's "recognizing the father" part is particularly funny. The male lead thinks the female lead is going to have his child, but she suddenly recognizes him as her father. His sister is completely stunned. Later, the male lead also seems to be trying to flirt, but the female lead isn't taking the bait. It's quite hilarious. The second book features a real heiress driving a race car while the female lead drives a tractor; the real heiress is playing the piano next door, and the female lead is playing the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) nearby—it's all very entertaining.
