    Both are by the same author, with an old-fashioned name but not bad content. The female lead isn't a naive, innocent character. This is one of the few books that truly portrays what it's like to be the head of a business empire—like a modern emperor, someone who doesn't show their emotions to outsiders, not someone whose eyes are like a pie chart. Even when you don't actually like the female lead, countless people pave the way for everything with just a glance. There's no dramatic fallout; instead, there are reasonable asset acquisitions. She's incredibly busy, even recording New Year's greetings videos. She doesn't throw folders at employees and tell them to get out if they can't finish. She starts calling key personnel early on New Year's Day. Her secretaries and receptionists don't seduce or look down on her because each secretary is busy with different cases on different continents. What I like most is that many books rely on the typical backstory of parents confessing to the female lead, followed by public pressure accusing them of filial impiety, then the female lead producing evidence, and netizens realizing the truth, going back and forth for several chapters. This book avoids that. The male lead plans ahead, preventing even a meeting or online spread of the story. There's no ridiculous plot of a domineering CEO arguing with netizens because the news is never even released.
