   Fu Shiyan comforted Zining, "Mommy doesn't abandon Zining." "Mommy just doesn't want Daddy anymore." The male lead is a movie star who falls in love with the female lead at first sight. He loves her deeply, and she's his first choice. The female lead is aloof and insecure about her past. He's terrified of being abandoned by her, and becomes a crybaby and jealous when she's around. He raises the child alone, waiting for her to return. Their son is also a great help. The plot is funny and touching. Although the rating is a bit low, the writing is excellent. I didn't skip any chapters and it's highly recommended.
