I'm a long-time reader of Tomato's novels, and I was completely engrossed in this one. The author's writing style is smooth, and I stayed up all night reading it without skipping any chapters. If you like contemporary romance novels, then you shouldn't miss this one. I sincerely recommend it to everyone!
I gave it five stars. It's the best book I've read besides those by established authors. Those other transmigration/reincarnation novels with different covers get thousands of requests for updates, but this one only has 128. I really feel sorry for the author. If you finish writing it and publish it on ZhangYi or ShuQi (I only subscribe to these two apps), I'll buy the whole book.
This book is a rare gem among modern novels. It's captivating, the characters are well-developed, the structure is tightly woven, and it's so engaging that you can't put it down. The writing is skillful, and it's not just a simple, saccharine story. It's excellent and highly recommended!
Although the male lead is impure, the female lead has a good attitude, there's no angst, and the relationship is quite comfortable to watch; they each get what they want.
It's incredibly good and original. It's so captivating, I can't stop watching! I hope the author continues to work hard and create even better and more amazing works!
The theme is quite novel, and the writing is excellent, without any melodramatic tropes like amnesia. It's not overly angsty, but it feels very oppressive, ultimately not suitable for someone like me who's used to sweet romance novels. However, if you like angst, you might want to check it out; it's very well written. (PS: I haven't seen the latest update yet because I'm feeling too heartbroken. I'll wait until I've calmed down before reading it.)
I'm really looking forward to the ending! I hope the male and female leads get a happy ending, and it would be best if Gu also gets a good ending! I really want to see the ending!
It's so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful! I was deeply moved. I never imagined that Tang Li and Li Mo could live such a happy life together. Halfway through the series, I thought they would just miss each other again and again, and it always became a source of regret. But to my surprise, the author made them meet again and once again live a mundane life.
It's rare to find a novel that I can read without skipping chapters. The content is great, but the updates are too slow 😭, when will it end? 😪
It's so good! I'm relieved to hear the author said it has a happy ending.
