   The first book, in my opinion, is quite about a husband. President Nie is most afraid of people saying he's old because he's genuinely afraid his wife will leave him. The father is incredibly meticulous in raising his child. The little guy has a small appetite, only about 30ml of milk at a time. He's already finished, so he removes the nipple, blows some milk foam, and says, "Pu!" Nie Zhao gently picks the little guy up, letting him rest on his shoulder and patting him to help him burp. Wandering around the bed, he says, "As long as the baby grows up safe and sound, that's all that matters. I can give him everything else." The second book is about snow, a video conference. Zhou Yanchuan walks into the frame, and the moment he sits down on the sofa, everyone's eyes on the screen turn to him. The man is dressed in casual loungewear, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, highlighting his strong, slender wrists, yet he's holding a tiny baby steadily in his arms. A brown bear onesie wraps around the small body, the soft face pressed against his neck, breathing as evenly as a sleeping kitten. The expressions on everyone's faces on the screen are a complex mix of disbelief and excitement. Their CEO is... Bringing a baby to a meeting?!

    Both of these are currently older male lead/younger female lead romance novels, which I personally like. The plots are very appealing; one is about love at first sight, and the other is about a bickering couple. In the first book, the male lead is the one who falls in love, and in the second book, they are bickering lovers. They've been married for three years, and the sequel has been running for three years.

    🍇🍇The male lead was someone the female lead rescued from school and brought back home. He takes care of the kids, cooks, and does housework. He's a chatterbox, talking as he does, and he's easily embarrassed and jealous—he's practically the top younger man/older woman pairing! It's so good; I was smiling the whole time. The second male lead is the epitome of domestic gentleness. He's kind and considerate to the female lead, and since she loves gossip, he indulges her antics. He's totally love-struck.

    This story features a gentle, almost demonic, male lead with an incredibly strong protective and loving nature. He's usually very calm and collected. When he's with the female lead, he exudes a strong older, aloof husband vibe, never letting her suffer any hardship and spoiling her rotten. He has a youthful, fatherly feel, but is actually a mother figure (the female lead calls him "Mom").

    The male lead is fairly fitting, though a bit old-fashioned, and the female lead's greatest pleasure is teasing him. Defining this book as a story of two wealthy families switching babies at the hospital doesn't quite fit; the only other characters are the female supporting character, her parents, and the female lead's younger brother. Everyone in the book is a normal person, with a normal plot—a breath of fresh air in the literary world. The writing is also very good; I felt the score was too low, so I'm giving it a thumbs up.
