   [Recommendation | "Temptation" | The High-and-Mighty Beauty Bows Down to Love, the Anti-Marriage Principle Finally Surrenders to the Charm of Love] The morning light kisses the white roses by the French windows, and Fu Hanzhou hides the diamond ring in the frosting of a pancake for the hundredth time. Nan Zhi chuckles, biting her silver fork, deliberately poking at the milk powder stain on his trousers—who would have thought that the cold, aloof businessman was practicing baking late into the night just to coax her into accepting the marriage proposal trap hidden in his breakfast? From "anti-marriage" to "family members, please sign," two clear-headed souls clumsily fall in love amidst the sugary crumbs. He learns to accurately spot the hidden barbs of scheming women, and she develops the instinct to keep a close eye on his shirt collar at social events. When Fu Hanzhou hosts a meeting of a hundred people with a hickey on his neck, and when Nan Zhi falls asleep in the office clutching the project proposal he stayed up all night working on, the tenderness hidden in coffee stains and document creases has already woven a bond stronger than a marriage certificate. There are no absurd scenes of amnesia or substitutes, only two hearts drawing closer together amidst the mundane details of life. Fu Hanzhou crafted his sweet words into the meticulousness of project reports, while Nan Zhi hid her love in the insulated lunchbox for late-night work. When the pregnancy test showed two red lines, the fearsome CEO Fu, trembling with fear in the business world, was kneeling on the carpet, applying pregnancy oil to his wife: "Zhizhi, this time I even personally tested the baby room's safety strips eight times." "Love is glaciers melting into soft silk, it's hedgehogs exposing their softest bellies, it's us finally daring to write the rest of our lives as accomplices."
