   Interesting, right? Come on, the female lead is crazy, and the male lead is crazy too (abstract). Let's talk about the female lead's outrageous statements. But apart from that, the romance is described like a gentle, flowing stream; I think it's really well-written. Old Shen's love story is truly remarkable! The female lead redeems the already wonderful Sister Liu and Sister Lai in the friendship storyline, and the girls together head towards a brighter future! Highly recommended!

   The first book is absolutely amazing! There are four worlds so far, and each one is fantastic and captivating. The male lead is unconditionally attracted to the female lead, and it's practically forced love! 🥰 The second book is even better; I found it very interesting. The female lead transmigrates into a book, and it's a redemption story, but the system is quite wicked. Later, the female lead leaves, and the male lead crosses dimensions to pursue her love—it's incredibly good! Highly recommended! ❤️ The third book is a transmigration post-apocalyptic novel. The male lead is a bit slow to warm up, aloof, while the female lead is like a little sun, incredibly cute, but she's very strong—it's a strong male lead and even stronger female lead type. You won't regret reading it! 😠

    Reader note

    This is a really good novel, though the rating is low. If you're hesitant, you can read a few chapters first. The novel focuses heavily on the children, portraying them realistically. There are no superpowers or spatial abilities; the children are simply both sensible and mischievous, but incredibly lovable. They're also quirky and helpful, great at sweet-talking and constantly competing with their fathers. The male lead isn't the typical cold and domineering CEO; his feelings develop gradually, and he secretly likes the female lead. His feelings mature slowly without too many misunderstandings, making for a pleasant read. The female lead is also in the entertainment industry (though the focus is less on the entertainment world and more on family). The story revolves around the mother and child. Early on, the female lead suddenly realizes her mistake and begins to care for and love her son. The son frequently utters witty remarks and calls his father by his name, Zhouzhou (Lu Wenzhou). Later, they get a puppy, which he insists is his brother and wants to name the puppy Zhouzhou (laughs). He also occasionally runs away from home with his mother.
