Thus, Yu Wanwan begins to use all her charm to win over this cold and aloof immortal lord. She's tried everything—coquettishness, persistent pleading—but her favorability rating hasn't increased much, remaining stuck at 50%. How can she go home like this? Yu Wanwan decides to marry him directly, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love! She'll frantically boost his favorability! But unbeknownst to her, the system has paused updating favorability ratings due to some error, and Jiang Muhan's favorability is already nearing its maximum. On their wedding night, the system suddenly notifies her that her target's favorability is maxed out. Yu Wanwan lifts her veil, intending to elope and return home. Just as she was about to run out the door, Jiang Muhan, dressed in red, blocked her way. His eyes, which had somehow turned bloodshot, curled into a smirk, his voice like a devil's whisper. "Madam, where do you think you're going?" That night, Yu Wanwan looked at Jiang Muhan in the bronze mirror, kissing her entire body as if she were a precious treasure. Gone was his usual aloofness; he seemed like a god fallen from grace, murmuring repeatedly, "Wanwan, you're mine. You can't escape."

The second book is about a seemingly abstinent younger brother who, when he meets a seemingly obedient but rebellious female lead, simply can't resist her! Check them out, highly recommended!
