    These books are absolutely amazing, carefully selected. 🌸1. The male lead is more than 10 years older than the female lead!

She adjusts her most alluring expression, pulls down her strapless dress, and says to him in a coquettish tone, "Godfather~ Why are you so late~ I've been waiting for ages~" Overall, this novel is quite melodramatic. Various oddballs take turns appearing, and neither the male nor female lead are normal, but it doesn't detract from its appeal. After reading this chapter, I wonder what the next one will be like. 🌸2. In this book, the male and female leads have a 12-year age gap.
