Please recommend some well-written stories with a rugged male lead. Ideally, he shouldn’t constantly say “I’m the boss.” I’d prefer a cool, aloof heroine, and I don’t want one who’s all soft and sweet. That kind of heroine feels so childish. Please and thank you ╰(*´︶`*)

Highly recommended! The writing is excellent, and it's incredibly funny—I laughed so hard I was rolling around in bed! The protagonist (gong) is lied to by his family, who say they're poor because he has a pet that's been destroying a lot of their property. His family is afraid to tell him they're wealthy and makes him live in the countryside. Then, a young master, framed by his stepmother, comes to stay with the protagonist. Initially, the protagonist is very concerned about the pet, but after the young master arrives, he becomes very attached to him. Later, the young master takes him to the big city. On his first day there, the protagonist encounters his older brother and sees him being touched by a female shopkeeper. He immediately chokes up, thinking his brother is selling himself… The protagonist is very funny and adores the young master 😘. In short, it's extremely good! If you want a funny story, this is for you—it's guaranteed to be funny, and you can also enjoy the sweet moments without worry.

The first couple is a rough-around-the-edges guy who doesn't swear, doesn't pretend, and is quite gentle. Initially, he has shattered values and resorts to ruthless and unscrupulous means to seize power, but gradually develops humanity. The story revolves around a Chinese translator and an Italian underworld heir, caught in a tumultuous and intense struggle. He initially disguises himself as a professor to deceive her, appearing gentle but actually a cunning and ruthless wolf. The female lead is delicate yet strong, a cool and beautiful woman. Her growth arc is realistic, and she is very intelligent. The second couple is an unconventional romance between a rebellious young master and an Asperger's genius girl, a high-IQ battle between a cunning, fox-like boy and a seemingly gentle but actually strong-willed girl. Both have dual storylines, are virgins, and have a happy ending.
