    This is an advanced version of a romance-obsessed story. The male lead is the heir to an old-school Italian mafia family, and the female lead is a Chinese translator raised in an ordinary family. He falls in love with her at first sight, but it's all calculated. Who understands that wild, hormonally aggressive possessiveness? He disguises himself as a refined gentleman, but is actually a cunning wolf, always eyeing his prey. The female lead is beautiful but not weak; her growth arc is realistic, and she's very intelligent. The second couple is the serendipitous romance between a mixed-race mafia heir and a Chinese girl with Asperger's. He's cunning like a fox, arrogant and domineering, always thinking he can easily win over the seemingly gentle but strong-willed girl, but eventually he soberly falls for her, becoming utterly subservient. Both storylines are virgins with happy endings. There are tons of delicate details, and it gets better as you go on. It's a sweet and romantic cross-cultural relationship, slightly bittersweet at first, but becomes incredibly sweet and passionate later on.

    Reader note

    Trust me, this is a must-read! [Already hooked] A soul transmigrates into the body of a twisted female supporting character [facepalm]. A carefree, straightforward woman changes her fate and infuriates the male lead. The first two volumes lay the groundwork, and the third volume is where you start reading! Male Lead 1: He split off half of his true soul, hoping 1+1>2 to directly ascend to the Great Dao! But the female supporting character ruined everything, making him so angry his eyes turned red and his head was practically steaming. He even went to confront the wrong person [facepalm]. Male Lead 2: We are on different paths, good and evil, so it's best not to fall for me! Then he was repeatedly exploited, making him so angry [angry] that he frantically grabbed people to collect interest! Male Lead 3: Sister, what bad intentions could I possibly have? [Shy] I just want to travel with you for a while, my true identity is actually… Male Lead 4: Standing at the peak of the Heavenly Evolution, with the strength to shatter the void, why can't I?! [Frustrated] I refuse to accept this! In short, this is a vividly portrayed ensemble piece, a serious cultivation story where the secondary couples are constantly complaining, seriously funny, and featuring multiple couples [Note]. The entire story flows smoothly, the characters are intelligent, and it's very friendly to those who dislike simplistic plots. I recommend giving it a try! [Kiss]

    Reader note

    This is a female-centric novel, not one where the female lead is stronger than the male lead! The female lead is a princess, the emperor's first child and exceptionally favored. However, she doesn't want to be just a pampered princess; she aspires to be empress. Therefore, she constantly develops her power, gradually ascending the throne. The male lead is an illegitimate son of an official. He is talented but unloved, and his writings are constantly stolen by his elder brother. Later, the female lead discovers his abilities and gradually trains him to become her subordinate. However, he ultimately only wants to become the empress. Furthermore, in the early stages, the male lead is extremely insecure, striving to climb the social ladder to be worthy of the female lead. The female lead is stronger than the male lead.
