I’m looking for a story where the male lead is powerful and high-ranking, gentle at heart, and mature, while the female lead has a lower social status. A healing romance is fine, such as a tragic female lead being saved by the male lead, as long as it doesn’t involve a transaction or anything like that. Basically, I want the male lead to help her often.

The male and female leads are 8 years apart. The male lead is initially very possessive and assertive, domineeringly asserting his dominance. It's incredibly sweet, almost cloyingly so, with absolutely no angst. The male lead likes to call the female lead "baby," is easily jealous but also easy to appease. He'll cook for her and buy her pretty dresses. The plot is so sweet it'll make your throat ache. One book is already finished, and the author of another novel, a sarcastic and domineering CEO story, is also working hard to update. The author's work is guaranteed to be high-quality; you won't regret reading it. They update daily, so you can jump in with confidence. Skipping chapters is not recommended, as you might miss some of the sweet moments. It would be great if you could add it to your bookshelf to support the author!

The plot unfolds like peeling an onion, layer upon layer. You might think it's just a sweet "marriage of convenience" story? Wrong! • First layer: A fake marriage turns into real love. • Second layer: Why does the male lead pretend to be a playboy? It turns out the Tang family is incredibly murky; his parents died under mysterious circumstances, and he has to act to protect himself. • Third layer: Who sent those suddenly appearing enemies (like the kidnappers)? • Fourth layer: Where is the male lead's long-lost twin sister? Each layer is full of suspense, making you want to "just read one more chapter before bed," but then you find yourself reading until dawn.

[Self-recommendation welcome] By day, he's a cold-faced boss in a suit and tie, sharp-tongued and sarcastic. By night, he's a passionate lover, shedding his disguise and revealing his wild and untamed nature. He initially wanted to give her a luxurious cage. But she broke the bars herself and flew towards a wider sky. And he willingly became her only nest. 🕊️A story of a young, innocent girl's growth | A guiding lover | A story of two strong characters ending. The best love is that it helps you become a better version of yourself. The male lead is naturally indifferent, seeing through everything, possessing boundaries yet remaining aloof, yet also unruly in character. Therefore, before the breakup, the female lead called him arrogant and cold, saying he had everything but no heart. After a long separation, he develops a physical attraction to the female lead and feels a little flutter in his heart, but he feels there's no future for them and isn't very invested in the relationship initially. However, he showers her with resources and wealth. Later, after recognizing her true feelings, he thinks he will be entangled with her for life. After the female lead experiences a change in her life, he feels somewhat unfamiliar with her. While the male lead sinks deeper into despair, she remains clear-headed and pessimistic. She thought he had a "white moonlight" (a term for someone special in his heart), that she was his caged bird, and that she couldn't fit into his circle. She kept enduring and distancing herself. So when the misunderstanding erupted, she said particularly hurtful things. Fortunately, they were willing to overcome everything.
