   #The Charm of an Older Man with Daddy 1. The first book's plot developments are unpredictable and unconventional, making it very enjoyable. The character settings are common, but the plot is unique. 2. This book's authority needs no introduction. An older man with a wealthy, privileged lifestyle—oh my god! But there's a little bit of angst. The power struggles and tug-of-war between the male and female leads are very, very different, super enjoyable. The characters are well-developed, each with their own selfish motives, making them even more fleshed out. 3. These three are the only ancient romance novels featuring a favored concubine and a wise ruler. I personally love the "white-cute-black" trope. The male lead is a politically astute ruler, but emotionally inept. The female lead harmed someone in her past life, but in this life, they are each other's only one, and both have very strong possessive desires.

    A doting, fatherly lover, she had been plotting this for a long time. In her previous life, she mustered the courage to confess her love, only to be rejected. Unable to win his love in this life, she was filled with bitterness and pain. How could someone love someone only to be able to have a secret crush? The regret of her past life suddenly appeared in her next life, and she chose to be brave again. But when she returned to school, reliving their encounters and every little detail, she was still rejected. She wanted to cry. Why was her love, given a second chance, still trampled upon? It seemed no one supported her being with him. Early relationships were forbidden, and neither was a poor girl like her allowed to be with a rich man like him. A huge... The class difference meant she was unaware of the many obstacles to love. Her only stroke of luck was seeing her mother again, the one who gave her life, raised her, and loved her most. Even in poverty, her mother was willing to give her the best food. Life has many regrets, but love isn't one-dimensional. He demanded money from her, and her mother was called in to ask for leave. Her mother, already working hard, had to come and deal with her troubles, which made her feel incredibly guilty. Later, she stopped talking to him. After starting university, she worked hard at part-time jobs to support herself. That familiar voice, that familiar person, carried her away. She was somewhat at a loss. Hadn't he rejected her confession? Her bittersweet love, her unrequited affection, had actually made progress. Those days made her very happy. Except for class time, she spent all her time with him, like a happy married couple. This was the love she had dreamed of for two lifetimes. But she was also uneasy, afraid that his love was just a momentary lapse of judgment. He was so rich, she was so poor, what was there for her not to understand? She knew all too well about class differences. She was infatuated with love, yet tried to soberly detach herself. She proposed marriage to him, demanding a large dowry, which he agreed to. But later, heartbroken, she said she wanted to break up. He couldn't understand why someone could agree to marry him so quickly, only to break up just as soon as possible. Was he really going to lose her? Did she really love him?
