    This is a captivating 1v1 romance novel featuring a clean-living, sweet and angsty story, set in a marriage of convenience, a contract marriage, a wealthy CEO, and a story set in the entertainment industry with a touch of suspense. [A vibrant and ambitious actress in the entertainment industry versus a cunning and ruthless CEO who was abandoned and scorned by his family and forced to become self-reliant.] Huo Qianyu pushes a contract towards her, saying, "Marry me, and 'The Pirate Ship' is yours." Xiang Nanzhi, a once-popular actress who has been deliberately suppressed by her rivals for eight years, faces a powerful temptation and makes a choice. She asks, "Do I need to exchange my body for it?" She thought it was a transaction, but she didn't expect the other party to have other intentions. Voluntarily signing the contract, Huo Qianyu becomes her angel investor and also her partner. The relationship is redefined: friends? Or lovers? Familiar or unfamiliar. Putting aside the secondary, what she truly wants is to get revenge for the eight years of humiliation she endured. Two parallel lines met and fell in love in their youth due to an accident. The damage this accident inflicted on them was too severe, too severe to be compensated. Years later, only Huo Qianyu remembers Xiang Nanzhi; he needs her, a morbid need. In moments of vulnerability, his eyes would redden as he whispered to her, "Don't go." He'd hug her from behind in the middle of the night, asking, "Are you trying to run away again?" While Mr. Huo appeared to be in a superior position, she held considerable power in their relationship. He set a trap, she accepted. He approached, she assessed. A tug-of-war ensued—she retreated, he advanced; she advanced, he retreated. He kept a deep plan hidden from her, and she said, "You can't hide anything from me after all." The instigator of that unexpected event was far more terrifying and complex than they imagined. How would they break free from this predicament?

    The first one is absolutely the best. It's a Daddy-guided older man/younger woman relationship, super sweet, and the romance progresses quickly. There are side couples. ① Main Couple: They get together from the start, who can resist such a cute little thing who only wants to be pampered? It's incredibly sweet. There are no misunderstandings, both sides are very affectionate, it's super sweet, and there's not a single angst. Of course, some people might think there are angst, since it's labeled as sweet and sour. But I think it's okay, I consider it a sweet treat. (This is a true Daddy relationship; when the protagonist disobeys orders and hurts himself, there is punishment. But please don't blame the protagonist, the punishment is mainly for the protagonist's physical condition at the time.) ② Side Couple #1: At the beginning, both feel that the other can't accept them. But the misunderstanding is quickly resolved, and they are also a very sweet couple. ③ Side Couple #2: This couple doesn't have much screen time, but it's also very good. They are also a very sweet couple. The second book is very sweet, there are no side couples, the plot is neither too fast nor too slow, and it's very sweet without any angst. There's an adorable white nine-tailed fox. There's also a comedic main character. The plot is heartwarming, with a touch of humor and a hint of heartache. Overall, it's a sweet and pleasant read. The road to winning back his wife is long, but thankfully he succeeds. The third book currently doesn't have a side couple and is updated to chapter 76, "This is a Real Kitten," who could resist such a fluffy creature? A cute kitten arrives in another world to find its owner. The plot moves quickly and is not yet finished. The system that appears later isn't a tragedy, although the author hasn't updated it yet, but the author has stated there won't be any angst. A very well-matched and adorable kitten. It's also very sweet, a little treat.

    The male lead secretly loves the female lead → plots his move → guides her step by step to fall in love with him. The female lead is like a relationship guru in public, but obediently follows the male lead's lead. Crucially! This book isn't just saccharine sweetness; it addresses many real-life issues in relationships, and you can genuinely learn something from it. This includes topics like finding a partner, relationships, and heartbreak. However, a caveat: the female lead is an avoidant attachment style.

    A gentle, doting father figure guides the second male lead, while the male lead, with his own schemes, adds another layer of complexity. Does liking someone need a reason? What is it about someone you secretly love? Perhaps she likes his good looks, but she's poor, ordinary, and unattractive, unable to earn money for tuition. She's harassed by the school beauty, who throws yogurt at her. Enraged, she throws it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overhears the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then being asked to marry her. Furious, she randomly picks a taller, more handsome stranger—who turns out to be her brother—and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more painful than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into a river in anger. He saves her, and they both lose their memories but are put to sleep by medication. When they're found, the school beauty is furious and wants to kill her. Why did he save her? Her love life has become a mess. She was jealous of someone who wasn't officially recognized, but now it seems like the two brothers are fighting over her, a battleground of force and ruthless pursuit, a "wife-chasing hell" scenario. Who should she choose now?
