    Highly recommend this book! It's seriously amazing! The male lead is selfish and self-aware, with a terrible personality, extremely petty, and always driven by self-interest. He never suffers a loss, never feels guilty, and acts as if it's his right. He's also incredibly good at sweet-talking, twisting the truth, using others to do his dirty work, and making grand promises. Yet, everyone around him is a kind-hearted person with a conscience (perhaps the male lead's carefully chosen victims). He's practically a succubus and a handsome overlord, spoiled by his parents, doted on by his siblings, cared for by his ex-wife, respected by his children, and helped by his brothers—all of whom are completely loyal and genuine. It's so satisfying! The most memorable character is Zhao Haiwei. The male lead stole his childhood sweetheart and never apologized, and they hadn't contacted each other for years. But when the male lead finally contacted him, Zhao Haiwei couldn't help but pick him up at the station, wanting to cook pork for him, emptying his pockets to treat him to a meal, and fulfilling his every request. What a true brother!
