   An old-fashioned novel, an arranged marriage that blossoms into love, both leads are virgins. The male lead isn't a rich heir from the Beijing elite circle, but rather someone at the top of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Both are initially just ordinary people suffering. The later parts are incredibly moving and tear-jerking. This type of old-fashioned novel is one of my favorites. The beginning might be a little angsty for the female lead, who suffers a lot.

   The female lead is very beautiful, and the male lead falls in love with her at first sight, quickly finding a matchmaker to propose marriage. The female lead is intelligent and has high emotional intelligence. Although she's also career-oriented, she's not the typical domineering female lead; she spends most of her time enjoying life and spending time with her baby. Mainly, the male lead comes from a wealthy family and doesn't lack money, so he doesn't stop her from doing whatever she wants and paves the way for her. The female lead is well aware of this, so she often acts coquettishly towards the male lead and praises his abilities. They have a baby named Pangdun, who is incredibly cute. The author excels at depicting heartwarming daily life, making the reader feel as if they're watching Pangdun grow up and witnessing the happy life of three generations of the family.

    Not a rough-around-the-edges story. The male lead is a powerful, reborn tycoon with a strong family background and considerable personal strength. The title itself tells you it's a sweet, albeit awkwardly sweet, story. And it is indeed sweet. The female lead is a powerful figure who transmigrates into a book, decisively and without hesitation in punishing the villains, and she's not a saint. The male lead is a reborn tycoon. He's allergic to all women except for the female lead. The beginning is explosive. The romance develops quickly. After confirming their connection, they reveal each other's secrets. The male lead's family and friends are all good, with no truly awful characters. The female lead's later-acquainted family is also relatively untroubled. There's a career storyline in the later stages.
