    I was hooked from this book! The female lead regrets her actions after being reborn and becomes sweet, obedient, and clingy [admiration][smirk]. The male lead is also love-struck, doting on the female lead, calling her "darling," and is handsome, has a great physique—practically perfect. The key is that he only dotes on the female lead; he's incredibly intelligent in public. It's so good! Highly recommended! I feel this book is destined to be a hit!

    Lin Shengsheng thought she could reach the pinnacle of life with the help of the system. She wanted a cheat system, and the system gave her one; she wanted plot points, and the system gave her one; she wanted aphrodisiacs, and the system gave her one too. She was incredibly arrogant: I am the god of this world. Until the system coldly announced, "Battery exhausted, shut down." She was stunned, secretly calling out in her mind, when Shen Qingshu sneered beside her: "Little sister, your cheat system ran out of money and shut down. Now it's my turn to perform!"

    Ye Qingzhi always kept one thing in her spatial storage—a switchblade, the one she used against her brother-in-law that day. She didn't throw it away, nor did she use it again. She kept it at the very back of her storage space, occasionally taking it out to look at it. Not for self-defense, but to remind herself: some nightmares, once awakened, don't need to be relived. She now had He Shaoyan, her daughter, and a small family compound—that was enough.

    ⬆️ I highly recommend this book. It's super good! The male and female leads were originally engaged. The male lead comes from a wealthy family and fell in love with the female lead at first sight when they were young; however, they never saw each other again after that. Despite this, the male lead always thought about the female lead and even chose to go abroad to hone his skills for her. After returning to China, the first thing he did was to get close to the female lead and make her his assistant. The female lead comes from a high-ranking family, but her mother died early, and her father ignored her. She was raised by her grandparents from a young age; due to childhood trauma, she lost some of her memories, including her first meeting with the male lead. The female lead attended prestigious universities for both her undergraduate and graduate studies and later became a diplomat. For the female lead, their relationship developed gradually; but for the male lead, it was premeditated. Overall, it's a strong, pure love story. The female lead has her own career, and the male lead loves her deeply, thinks only of her, and respects her very much. The chemistry between them is incredibly strong, and it's very enjoyable to watch! At the same time, the male lead is also the female lead's salvation.

    In this book, the male lead is incredibly proactive; he's already planning to get close to the female lead in the very first chapter. Don't let the title fool you; it's actually a sweet and doting romance, spoiling her to an extreme. The second volume is overflowing with sweetness, getting even sweeter as you read on.
