   The female protagonist is very beautiful, and the male protagonist falls in love with her at first sight and quickly finds a matchmaker to propose marriage. The heroine is very smart, has a high emotional intelligence, and is very good at dealing with people. She gives people the feeling of being the wife of a big family. Although she can also pursue a career, she is not the kind of heroine who spends most of her time enjoying life and spending time with her children. The main reason is that the male protagonist has a good family background and is not short of money. She does not stop her from doing anything she wants and paves the way for her. The female protagonist also knows this very well, so she always acts coquettishly with the male protagonist and praises him for his greatness. The two have a baby named Pang Dun, who is super cute. The author is very good at describing warm daily life. It feels like the readers are watching Pang Dun grow up little by little and watching three generations of the family live happily.
