    Well, maybe the author is just too narcissistic, thinking their writing is too brilliant. Lately, many people have been talking about "brushing" (fake reviews/fake stories), and this book seems to be a victim of that too. Those interested can click to check it out. Synopsis: Female lead Meng Qianzhou, Male lead Fu Mingchen, Second male lead Fu Zechang. Meng Qianzhou discovers her fiancé Fu Zechang is secretly keeping a mistress and proposes breaking up. Later, after weighing the pros and cons, she decides to let him settle things with money. She agrees not to call off the engagement, but since she's bound to this marriage for life, she can't be too hard on herself, so she plans to use the money to find a minor celebrity. However, what she doesn't know is that a man has been coveting her for a long time. Fu Mingchen is Fu Zechang's uncle, but the two have a blood feud. To seize control of the Fu family, he forced Fu Zechang's father to death, forced his mother to remarry with him, and removed him, the eldest grandson of the first branch, from the family genealogy. What drives Fu Zechang crazy is that Fu Mingchen actually steals his fiancée. The hatred stemming from the murder of his father, the resentment over forcing his mother to abduct him, and the hatred over the theft of his wife—the love and hatred between these three people are destined to be inextricably intertwined!

    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, so it's a worthwhile investment. Both are older man/younger woman stories, and the author is unlikely to abandon the story. Updates are daily, so readers can jump in with confidence. Skipping chapters is not recommended, as you might miss the sweet moments.
