Wen Yixing has a gambling-addicted adoptive father who beats and kicks him when he's drunk.

On the day they met in person after their online romance, he dragged his crippled left leg, anxious and afraid that the other person would look at him with disgust. This anxiety reached its peak when he saw the noble, aloof, and tall figure stepping out of a luxury car. He turned and ran away in a disheveled state, but was cornered in a deserted corner. The mature man's aloof aura enveloped him tightly, and his chin was forcefully pinched. "Why are you running? Didn't you say you liked me?" "Look at me, do you like me?"

    This one fits the bill quite well, of course, ignoring Nuonuo's name and personality (because some people say Nuonuo's name and personality are too feminine), but I just think it's really, really good! Nuonuo being redeemed by CEO Ci and her friends is so touching! (Please don't criticize if you don't like it, I'm afraid of being scolded, the author is a nice person!
