    The female lead, Wen Xi, learns the truth about her origins at the age of twenty-seven. Overnight, she finds herself with different parents, and even her fiancé is replaced by Shang Chen, a notoriously "rigid and aloof" tycoon in the capital. What she initially believes to be a marriage of convenience turns out to be a mere formality, but through their daily interactions, she is gradually won over by this seemingly cold husband. Shang Chen's character is the epitome of "cold on the outside, warm on the inside." He's tough on the outside but soft on the inside, awkwardly offering a comforting embrace when Wen Xi is sick, and uttering straightforward sweet nothings like, "Remember to say you're feeling unwell next time, and I'll comfort you." This contrast is truly captivating! Wen Xi's clear-headedness, independence, and lack of romantic overthinking are also very endearing. The process of the two going from strangers to acquaintances, slowly "growing" together within their marriage, is delicate and sweet. Love it! (●♡∀♡)

    I highly recommend these four books! They're all really good. The word count isn't too high, and the plot doesn't drag. The first book has a very gentle, fatherly male lead who treats the female lead extremely well. They gradually fall for each other. The second book is about a female lead who secretly loves the male lead, but their feelings develop over time. However, her family isn't very kind to her, and there are some misunderstandings, but they clear things up, and it's quite sweet. The third book also has a fatherly male lead (hehehe). I really love fatherly male leads, so this is a good read! The male and female leads are more respectful to each other, so the storyline is a bit more subdued, but it's very sweet and has a restrained kind of love. It made my heart itch! The fourth book is quite funny—a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. The female lead is very cute and quirky, and the male lead is both cunning and gentle.

    * **A Heart-wrenching Love Story:** "Even if a pure white rose is stained, it is still a rose." The proud eldest daughter of the Jian family, the most arrogant woman in Shanghai, is pushed into the abyss by her beloved Shen Xiujin. Three years in prison, the loss of her kidney, and the shattering of her dignity—her former brilliance reduced to dust. A wrongful imprisonment woven from conspiracy turns love into a slow, agonizing torture—he abuses her in the name of hatred, while she clings to her pride in despair. When the truth pierces the lies, the obsessive CEO's maddening remorse clashes violently with the victim's life-or-death struggle. The humble plea, "I'll give you my kidney, you give me your heart," encapsulates the sin and redemption within this heart-wrenching, tragic love story. A pinnacle of classic tragic romance, every page reflects the complexity of human nature amidst the pain. * **Embracing Roses:** "I like roses, and I like you." Before Pudu Temple, young Wen Keyi's words, "Self-salvation," became a beacon of light in Song Huan's darkest times. Reunited on campus, the rebellious "Brother Zhi" shed his armor, longing only for her to call him by his real name. A misunderstanding in their youth caused them to miss each other, but after their long separation, they realized his carefree attitude was a facade, and her clear-headedness concealed deep affection. This is a two-way journey between a prodigal son and a clear-headed "vixen," where, amidst the stirrings of youth and the growing pains of adolescence, they transform lost time into a rosy confession, ultimately achieving a warm and fulfilling ending.
