    ❤️The first book perfectly matches. The male lead is like a gentle gentleman straight out of a painting, polite and well-mannered. He's the head of a large family in the south, young but of extremely high seniority, and his family has a long-standing relationship with the female lead's family. The female lead calls him "Uncle." The female lead is a typical southern beauty, gentle yet lively. The novel depicts many rules and regulations of large families, which I learned a lot from. [Thumbs up]❤️ ❤️The male lead is too good; a husband like that can only exist in novels! She still remembers that incredibly gentle night, and then her heart fluttered. She casually plucked a star and hid it in her heart.❤️
