   The female lead is very beautiful, and the male lead falls in love with her at first sight, quickly finding a matchmaker to propose marriage. The female lead is intelligent and has high emotional intelligence. Although she's also career-oriented, she's not the typical domineering female lead; she spends most of her time enjoying life and spending time with her baby. Mainly, the male lead comes from a wealthy family and doesn't lack money, so he doesn't stop her from doing whatever she wants and paves the way for her. The female lead is well aware of this, so she often acts coquettishly towards the male lead and praises his abilities. They have a baby named Pangdun, who is incredibly cute. The author excels at depicting heartwarming daily life, making the reader feel as if they're watching Pangdun grow up and witnessing the happy life of three generations of the family. (The female lead transmigrates into the book...)
