   These books are all very good. My favorite is the first one. The female lead is such an adorable little sun. She went from a child no one cared about to become the happiest little sun. She met the male lead who loved her for a lifetime, and also met her father and brother who cherished her. The male lead's love is deep and lasting. He always dotes on Xingxing, even when he's acting. He can't help but feel jealous and afraid of her leaving. At the beginning, he was always cautiously testing the waters. I really like the female lead to the core. She is also very capable. In the extra chapters, she leads the development of artificial intelligence technology and scolds the company's parasites with Bo Er. I really felt a little heartache for Lu Tian and Bo Er's relationship. A passionate and unrestrained young man became a deep and steady president. He waited for her for thirty years. Even in his old age, he still deeply loves his sweet Tian Tian. Fortunately, they got their happy ending in the extra chapters. It turns out that even a taciturn person can say a lot of sweet words. In order to make Tian Tian happy, he slowly learned to do many things. Fortunately, they didn't miss each other in the parallel world. My favorite character is still Bo Yuchen. He did his best to be a father. His fatherly love for Xingxing is no less than that of the male lead. Even though he and Bo... The second son's mother was in a marriage of convenience, but he respected her and fulfilled his duties as a husband, giving the second son a perfect childhood. Finally, facing Ming Yu, whom he had finally fallen for, he still sent her abroad for his daughter's sake. He was calm and gentle, truly a good father. He made Xingxing realize that she, too, was a child loved. The author's writing is excellent, vividly portraying each character's personality. The unexpected plot twists make the novel more profound. Watching the parents' complicated love lines, one slowly understands the true meaning of love. Whether good or bad, they all have their own true endings. Some say finishing a book is like saying goodbye to a world. Having seen the ending, I really can't leave; I'm still in Xingxing's world, unwilling to come out. The world is truly beautiful. Even if life is not ideal, the world is kind. We will always meet a good person worth trusting. Regardless of the ending, love is the ending. I really love this book! It's so profound, the plot is exciting and logical, the characters are well-developed, and the concept is ingenious. I want to give all the praise to the author! 🥺🥺🥺🥺
