She, Huang Shang Rong, is a demoness who runs her office with an iron fist.

He, Xu He Jun, is her miracle cure, no, personal assistant, who got the job because his ancestors have done a lot of good deeds and blessed him with a strong Yang aura. Just by touching him or drinking his coffee is enough to chase away her blues and curb her bad temper. But why did he apply for long leave suddenly?

Turns out that he has a baby on the sly, and the mother abandoned his baby at his door, causing an upheaval to his life and nipping his budding romance with his current girlfriend. Ay, so poor thing. This young man is already dirt poor, how could he afford to take care of a baby? As his boss, she decided to step in and help him manage his time, manage his finances, set up an infant care at the office, and even volunteered to be the baby’s God mother.

Looking at his second-hand furniture, she even helped to buy a Simmons and ended up testing the new mattress with him. When he brought her back to meet his parents, she got a shock to find that they were staying at Di Bao (a high-class residential zone). So he is actually a rich man pretending to be poor? Why did he deceive everyone?

Its been a while since I've read a short & lighthearted story like this, its very refreshing. A cute and fluffy romance with a tiny itty bit of supernatural flavor at the side is what this is generally. What I totally love about this is our MC and ML's dynamic lol they are so cute and even have hilarious moments. I totally love the MC, she's amazing

Short, sweet and fun read! If you're just looking for romance and don't want to think too much about the "supernatural" aspect, you'll definitely enjoy it!

Love strong female leads that's only soft for their 1 guy!

A short and cute romance novel! I really hook up after I started reading this! The interaction between the couple is cute too especially the baby boys in last chapter! I totally recommend this novel--a must read! It won't hurt you or waste too much time to try reading this, since it only has 11 chapter (include the epilogue).

I really loved this! I especially liked Huang Shang Rong. It is rare for female leads to actually be independent. I love how the male lead is the one being indulged and cared for, usually. It is cute.

Very short but still a good read.

The MC is a strong, domineering woman who has an overabundance of Yin and very low Yang. Due to this, she is often irritable and can see spirits. Known as the Female Emperor at work, she is basically the stereotypical CEO in the story. She quickly realizes that having contact with the ML relieves her headaches and makes her feel better so she endeavours to keep him around. When their relationship begins, she is pretty much the one who wears the pants.

... more>>
Spoiler

Such as deciding that they would only have one (or possibly one more) child because it's expensive to raise children. There was also moving into a new house and discussions on what needed to be bought to make everything safe and comfortable.

[collapse]

The ML appears as a soft and gentle but hardworking office worker. However, he has so much Yang that even the coffee he makes is infused with it. He is the titular "Black Bellied Dad", having his son appear on his doorstep one night but is quick to take responsibility for his son (he does confirm it with a DNA test). Once their relationship begins, he reveals more of his real nature but he never stops simping for the MC. But there is more to the ML.

Spoiler

He is actually the son of the CEO of the company. He just chose to live as a "normal" person and work his way up from the bottom of the company. It just happened that his coworkers got him drunk one night and the MC climbed in bed with him due to his abundance of Yang energy which soothed her problems (she was pretty hard pent up til that point apparently).

[collapse]

We follow as the ML breaks up with his then-girlfriend (who did not want to raise a child, let alone someone else's) and how the MC decides to be the godmother of the baby to help him out. The two quickly develop a relationship and the ML has decided that the MC is the one for him. It takes more convincing on his part to get the MC but the baby becomes his cheat and she gets honey trapped.

Spoiler

Honey trapped because she didn't know he was wealthy until after she had fallen for him. He, on the other hand, had known that she was the mother of his child since nearly the start of their relationship. While she does get upset when it's revealed, she quickly comes to terms with why he would deceive her (as she would have avoided him if she had known he was that wealthy) and accepts this new part of her life.

[collapse]

They never flaunt their relationship nor use his family connections to get ahead. It does become clearer to the rest of their coworkers that something is going on but no one ever truly guesses that the ML is the heir to the company. The worst speed bump is really that they are both hiding things from each other. Even the ML's ex who wants to get back with him was shut down super quickly.

The epilogue was also really cute and kind of funny.

Spoiler

When the MC learned that he was wealthy, she said they should have four children. Two boys and two girls so they tried four times and ended up with four sons. It's done very quickly but rather humorously.

[collapse]

So read this if you want something rather cute and quick with a Black Bellied ML who doesn't do anything ridiculously harmful. He just wants his step-on-me-mommy waifu. <<less

This novel of my favorite tropes but without all the drama. It’s short and cute and just enough. Overall, it’s a light read just for enjoyment and nothing to take seriously but it’s good.

Short cute and funny plotless story of a strong independent woman who likes ML and a shameless rich ML who is trying to live frugally and accidentally got a son. Nothing special but a nice short story for a break.

If you're not feeling picky and just want some short and romantic stuff then this will do.

I honestly rate this for 3.5 🌟 I guess the length was just right and I was entertained.

First of all this novel is short and sweet but not my cup of tea. Because I like novels with leads who respect themselves like their heart soul and body and don't fool around. I thought ML is like the one in hidden marriage after reading the synopsis but nope, the author mentions about ML in one line - he doesn't know who the mother is because he is in his prime age and springs come to him almost every night, so how could he identify who is the one... more>> who gave birth to his child..... ML fools around and take relationships casually, he also has a girl friend but she leaves him after knowing that is already has a son.

But once he falls for FL, he will change and will be loyal to her. No misunderstandings and no white lotuses and family members are good to the leads... everything is simple, sweet and a good read. <<less

What a cute and sweet story. The plot is quite simple but it's well written and the characters are likable too.

Spoiler

FL is drawn by strong "Yang" energy of ML and climbed into his bed to absorb his energy. But then FL accidentally got pregnant. After silently giving birth, she left their newborn son in front of his apartment's door. This made ML's life turned upside down.

With the excuse of his poor life condition, FL starts to get involve in ML's life and help him raise their son without telling him that she is actually the birth mother of his son. The they gradually attract to each other.

Oh yeah, ML has his own secret too. He actually is the CEO's only son and super rich young master. He lived as a ordinary person to know how it felt and in order to climb to the highest position with his own strength.

[collapse]

Actually, I want to know more about the spiritual aspect surrounding FL and ML. But until the end, there is no satisfying explanation about the occurence. But the ending is still satisfying enough. <<less

Well, that was a short, fun and cute story.

Very well written, the whole story is very well done and even though it isn't long it was the right length before it became obnoxious or redundant, it's got exactly ONE plot device, and that's all it needed.

I'm always happy to find works that are perfectly written even if they are simple or short, it's because of this works that you can point and say "see, that's a perfect novel" it achieved everything it wanted to achieve, it had a fantastic rhythm... more>> and tone, it was consistently interesting and entertaining and when it needed to end it ended, no need to fabricate conflict that never existed or shoe horn another plot device to extend the run time.

Lovely, read it, it's short and you will enjoy it. <<less

This was fun and highly stimulating. The pacing was good and the plot itself was clever. It's simple and clean except for the hint of supernatural that wasn't fully explored but that's neither here nor there since it did not affect the flow that much. If you need a short respite and need something light to elevate your boredom, this is a good fit. This is best when you've just read something that broke your heart.",)

It is a cute novel with a lot of things I still don't understand. There are supernatural creatures that are responsible for the plot but their backgrounds and work is not clearly depicted. Instead of using some locig to explain some parts of the novel, the author is only saying "It happened, because I said so"
