After Marrying the Cold, Aloof Chief Executive, the Young Reporter Begs Him to Go Easy on Her

For new readers, here's a heads-up: avoid wasting your time by warning about potential pitfalls before you start reading. 1. The website does not allow the writing of real-world professions, so the male lead's profession is fictional. So please stop asking what a governor is, I don't know either... Just treat it as a sweet romance novel about a high-ranking official. 2. The male lead is calm, restrained, rational, and patient. He is not the kind of super CEO who would give up a multi-million dollar business for the female lead, nor is he the kind of CEO who would take advantage of any opportunity to sleep with someone at lightning speed. He is somewhat restrained and slow to warm up in matters of the heart, and he respects the female lead's wishes. In the early stages, the female lead takes the initiative. He may not be passionate enough, but he is tolerant and warm enough. 3. The female lead grew up in a loving family. Her aunt and uncle doted on her, even more than their own son. She has a lively, cheerful, and sunny personality with a heart full of love. However, her flaws include being somewhat willful and temperamental (mainly towards the male lead). Initially, she treated him as a leader and showed him some respect, but later she gradually let loose, revealing all her good and bad sides. Some readers may find this hard to relate to and may find it offensive, leading to more criticism. But there's no way around it; no one is perfect, and she also needs to grow. [Please avoid if you are averse to this content.] 4. This book is more realistic about the workplace and is not a pure wish-fulfillment novel. There are no scenes where the female lead slaps someone for no reason, nor are there any scenes where the male lead kills or maims someone when he is unhappy. The female lead will suffer grievances, but she is not a pitiful girl who can be slaughtered at will, so please consider this carefully. 5. The male and female leads are seven years apart in age (according to their ID cards), but the female lead is actually 23, making the age difference nine years. Due to some reasons, the female lead changed her name and age; she later took her mother's surname, so her surname is Qiao, and her aunt's surname is Xu (I couldn't do anything about it)... 6. The author is somewhat obsessive-compulsive, so they researched a lot of useless (not really) information on details, including but not limited to: Can motorcycles go on highways? Are there trucks transporting watermelons in winter? Are oranges ripe in winter? What are the weight and models of TV cameras? Can barren mountains be purchased? How does the government intervene in unfinished building projects? Can ordinary train drivers switch to driving high-speed trains? What month is suitable for planting trees? How to repair a collapsed roadbed? What problems with completed buildings require repair and compensation from the real estate company? Which sea areas are suitable for sea fishing, and which are not? What diseases require intramuscular injections? How dangerous is it for real investigative journalists… I really did a lot of research on this book. Writing about professional issues is really not easy. Before uploading, I checked for typos and awkward sentences. After uploading, I listened to it and checked it again. After finishing it, I checked for omissions throughout the whole book. But as I said before, no one is perfect. Authors also have blind spots in their knowledge and omissions. I am very willing to accept guidance from my little angels, but I don't like malicious criticism. Having said all that, if any of the points mentioned above are objections, please don't click on this. It's a waste of your time, and you might just come back and yell at me. Sigh... Orz…

This book has finally come to an end. How should I put it? I'm quite emotional and reluctant to see it go. The reason I started following this book was because of the author's previous book, "The Story of Little Fu and Xu Xi," which is where I first got to know the author. I really like all the novels the author writes, so let me now give my review of this one. ✨Our male lead, Governor Li Yao, always shows the utmost gentleness and tolerance towards the female lead. To outsiders, his demeanor is aloof and distant, but initially, only with the female lead does a hint of joy flicker in his eyes. Later, when the female lead can relax and joke freely in his presence, his gentleness and tolerance towards her become evident. No matter what jokes she makes, he never gets angry, and even seems helpless. I can already imagine the scenes of their interactions. I really enjoy their interactions. I think the male lead's greatest charm lies in his attention to detail. Although he is a governor, high and mighty in the eyes of outsiders, he is always very attentive to the female lead, immediately noticing her emotions and always putting her first, taking care of her in every way. I was gradually drawn into this novel, and I really love the male lead. 💕 ✨The female lead, Qiao Yimian, a reporter with no connections, has never lacked love despite the passing of her parents. She grew up in a loving environment, which explains her love for life and her profession. To outsiders, she's poised, polite, friendly, and a little mischievous. Initially, however, she treats the governor as her superior in front of the male lead, speaking cautiously while secretly harboring resentment—haha, our reporter Qiao is quite adorable! 😄 It's only after being pursued by the male lead that she opens up to him, becoming a little spoiled and arrogant, but I still love it. Then they start showering each other with sweetness; their interactions are truly delightful. 🥰 (I won't mention the other supporting characters.) ✨Next, let's talk about the romance. Their initial romantic connection wasn't very obvious (based on comparisons with many other novels I've read). At first, their feelings developed through interactions, with the female lead's actions influencing the male lead's mood. Later, due to the female lead's emotional confusion and external factors like her background, she was attracted but hesitant to accept it. She eventually came to terms with her feelings, but as their relationship deepened, she felt incredibly inadequate towards the male lead, leading to a growing sense of inferiority. Fortunately, after they talked things out, things improved. This novel also features characters and plot points from the previous book, which I really enjoyed. The appearance of the male lead's parents later on, and the interactions between the male and female leads and his father, especially the interactions between the female lead and the father, were very interesting. The father's reactions were particularly amusing; I even imagined the female lead mediating between the male lead and his father. (Sorry if this summary isn't comprehensive enough.) ✨I really love this novel. To be honest, I've finished it all except the epilogue. I'm so reluctant to finish it; I always feel a little empty after reading it. But I know their story will eventually end, but at least they'll live on in our hearts! Also, I want to support the author in every way possible; I really love it! ❤️❤️

I'm currently reading the author's second book. The female protagonist, Qiao Yimian, is a journalist and a top student. She was the campus beauty when she was in journalism school. She possesses a journalist's sensitivity and professional ethics, and her news reports are sharp. The book's theme has distinct ideological, scientific, and aesthetic value. Its structure is a dialectical integration of the inherent order of objective things and the author's unique thinking. The language is standard, accurate, and rigorous. The narration is well-balanced in detail. The author has clearly defined the theme and arranged the structural levels, making the reader feel a sense of authenticity and intimacy. The author uses the most concise language, without embellishment, to depict vivid and lifelike characters. The language achieves complete sentence structure, stable word collocation, and logical meaning. This book has received positive reviews and is worth reading.

🌻🌻🌻 To those who read book reviews before reading a book: Look here! Look here! This is delicious... Uh... This is a good book, just read it. It's definitely not one of those typical online novels. There's no rambling, chaotic, and dramatic stuff, no bathroom or swimming pool disputes, no extravagant family gatherings or village gossip hubs like the old willow tree at the village entrance. The daily life of a cool and aloof ruler who commands respect without ever getting angry, and a sweet, soft, yet resilient and brave little fox reporter! It's a very natural love story, definitely not the kind of awkward, forced ambiguity that tries to create a connection! See? If you don't like it, come back here and I'll tear your hair out! When you're following a book, the more you like it, the more you want to know how it ends; the more you like it, the more afraid you are of the ending. Oh dear, I'm such a conflicted bookworm!

This is a review after finishing the entire book, taken from the author's author's closing remarks. Putting this at the very beginning is a reply to something not mentioned in the author's closing remarks: It's said that first comes the discerning eye, then the talented horse. So, we, as readers, hope that our small comments can bring you some strength. I was initially drawn to your characters because they were so well-developed. Then, seeing your long closing remarks, I thought perhaps I could linger a little longer. It seemed I could see you, the author, behind the words, because of your sincerity! I only hope that sincerity will be reciprocated, and maybe I'll encounter another literary superstar in the future! 🥳😎 The text within the brackets below has also been commented on after the author's author's epilogue, but I still want to post it here again out of personal preference. I hadn't planned to leave a comment, but after seeing the author's epilogue, I felt compelled to say something. I've been reading romance novels for over ten years now, and I only started using this platform about a year ago. I've been looking for a story that's grounded in reality, without the usual contrived "famous scenes," logically sound, with well-developed and relatable characters. However, the current market is dominated by light novels that offer a sense of escapism and enjoyment. This isn't meant to be a criticism, but they do tend to be quite detached from reality. Until I stumbled upon your novel, initially just browsing casually, but gradually I realized I'd found the book I was looking for. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and strictly speaking, this is only the second romance novel I've read in years that has made me reflect on reality. The previous one was an ancient political intrigue novel, which was the first time I truly felt the weight of the phrase "no regrets after a move." And then there's this author's current work. I often ponder the hidden meaning behind the phrase "marrying someone of equal social standing," but it always ultimately relates to money, power, and value perspectives. As readers, we all know that the story of reporter Xiao Qiao and the governor is ultimately just a fictional tale, but the author's pen still manages to ground them in reality. I think this is the power of words, like the saying, "Art originates from life, but also transcends life." The author's writing is very delicate. For example, the article begins by describing the male protagonist seeing the female protagonist's post on social media, but cleverly inserts a scene of the male protagonist's mother's everyday social media posts. These few lines, handled lightly, subtly highlight the atmosphere of the male protagonist's family, like an invisible caress on the reader's heart. Or, at the end of the article, in the epilogue, the female protagonist cries out for her mother in a nightmare. Traditionally, this scene would portray the male protagonist's positive qualities, giving him the sense of security that the female protagonist provides. But the author gives it to the male protagonist's mother, and this small difference conveys many different feelings to the reader, again subtly touching their heart. This sense of security comes from the author's words. And for example, there are many more examples like the ones mentioned above, which I won't go into detail here. In short, those who read the comments before reading the book can rest assured, you won't regret it! 🥰😎

It's so good! I read so many reviews recommending it, so I decided to read it. The romance between the governor and the young reporter is so sweet, I'm so envious! The side stories are also wonderful, even though they're short. There's no internal power struggles within the wealthy family, no messy love rival dramas, the plot is exciting, and the ending is perfect. I highly recommend this book.

Nice

The storyline is realistic and down-to-earth, closely reflecting reality.

The story of a high-ranking leader pursuing his wife is so good!

It was by chance that I read two books by the same author. They were very well written. The female lead had a great personality; she was bold in love and hate, kind-hearted, and intelligent. The governor was intelligent, handsome, aloof, and capable. It was the perfect combination of all these qualities, and the story was filled with sweet love!
