It's also very sweet! A rough-and-tumble romance! The antagonist has a powerful background and constantly protects the protagonist. The protagonist has a difficult time at home early on, but the antagonist's love for him is genuine, and he slowly heals him! ❤️ The third one is a rebirth story.

Because of the unexpected wedding, he didn't leave, but waited to thank Lu Yinghuai. To thank him again and again for pulling him back from the brink of darkness. But now everything had developed beyond his expectations. He hadn't thought Lu Yinghuai would actually take him away. He couldn't understand what he had done to deserve Lu Yinghuai's attention. Jiang Tang didn't believe in kindness without a reason, even if the other party was Lu Yinghuai. But precisely because the other party was Lu Yinghuai, he could accept all the "badness" behind this "kindness" without any reservations. The worst outcome was just returning to the abyss, and as things were now, fate had already been kind enough to him.

    The female lead is so pitiful that she's forgotten how to cry, how to even express it. When hurt or sad, she just sits alone, lost in thought, reflecting on herself (pushing herself to see if she's done anything wrong). She's actually very hardworking and excellent, more capable than many. However, she lost her father at three, and after her mother remarried and had a younger brother, her attention wasn't on her anymore. From a young age, she began to suppress her grievances, and gradually, she stopped crying. The female lead is a cool and strong-willed college student, while the male lead is a mature, stable, and charming CEO 11 years her senior. He deeply cares for her; he loves, protects, and cherishes her, helping her relearn how to properly express her emotions instead of bottling them up. The early pacing is slow, focusing primarily on the female lead; the male lead won't appear much (though he always makes a charming entrance, hehe). We want to create a female lead who evokes pity, and the male lead's role is simply to love her!

    All three books feature protagonists with incredibly tragic pasts and difficult childhoods, which are truly heartbreaking. I cried buckets while reading them last night. However, the two protagonists find redemption and ultimately have a happy ending. Highly recommended! The last book is also excellent.
