This is arguably the most normal novel on the Tomato platform. Compared to those fantastical stories about infidelity, this one is romantic, emotionally sincere, and shows the style of a master. I'm confident this author will achieve great things.
Lost youth, memories that cannot be held onto: Chen Lan's silent devotion, solely to avoid becoming a burden to the male protagonist, was forced to abandon love for another due to illness, ultimately passing away; Bai Ling, with love in her heart, silently devoted herself to the protagonist, only to become another's wife; Ai Jia, gentle throughout her life, ultimately succumbed to the…
Both are well-written and have happy endings. "My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant" and "My Stunning Lady" both have happy endings. They're definitely worth reading. After reading "Waiting for You in the Moonlight," I finally understood what true heart-stealing power is.
This is a very good book. The author portrays Zhuo Yue as having a low EQ, but he's extremely popular with women. The female lead, An Ran, has low EQ and IQ and a very low presence; it's probably just the protagonist's halo that makes her stand out. Anyway, I read the whole book from beginning to end without skipping a single chapter.
The story vividly depicts the joys and sorrows of lovers, moving readers to tears multiple times, even for a man like myself. It's so well-written; I'll continue reading and give it a thumbs up!
It's a good book. It's deeply moving; I started crying from the moment the male protagonist went to the hospital to see Chen Lan, and I cried throughout the entire book until Chen Lan's passing. Whenever Chen Lan appeared, I couldn't help but cry.
I cried several times after reading it, reminiscing about my lost youth. It's a wonderful novel, and I hope the author will write even more amazing works.
It's been a long time since I've read a novel that moved me to tears like this. Chen Lan has truly touched me deeply! That line, "It's so good to be alive!" Perfectly expresses an infinite longing for life!
Some say this is regret, a lingering sense of injustice—that's what youth is like, perhaps, with a glimmer of light amidst the regret. Maybe this is the best ending, or maybe not. The story revolves around Zhuoran, and all the characters in the novel are vibrant. Some may only be depicted briefly, yet they evoke distinct meanings.
While the author's first book didn't have the complex plot of "The Conman," its key strength lay in its logical coherence. It truly resonated with many of us during our youth, and reading parts of it could evoke strong emotions and even sadness. Enough said, the author is brilliant. Honestly, it took me three days and three nights to finish reading it.
