Overall, this book is great! I was able to read it without skipping a single chapter. The plot is a bittersweet mix, and the male lead's character really resonated with me: a tsundere with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, who clearly cares deeply but is always sharp-tongued. Every time I saw the female lead sad or hurt, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her (and annoyed) (¯へ¯).
They made me so angry while I was watching, but I still finished it. The beginning was so heartbreaking, but the later parts were quite good. It was the first time I'd seen a male lead with this kind of sweet and charming personality. He's the youngest among his friends and not the domineering CEO type. The extra chapters with the kids were really good, childhood sweethearts 🤭
I really love this author's writing style! It's really well-written. If you don't mind the female lead, it's definitely worth reading. Be patient, because the female lead is slow in pursuing her love interest; she's not demanding at all! You'll understand once you know the reason. The pursuit is a bit angsty, but it will be sweet! There will be a sequel to address any lingering regrets!
Great, very nice to look at! 👀 Added to my bookshelf!
It's so good! It's angsty at first, then sweet. Could you please write a novel about the side couple, Lin Zheng and Xia Linglin? I love it! Besides the main couple, they're my absolute favorites, it's so good! Please, author, write about the side couple, even in a separate book! Please! 💕🥺😘
It's so good!!! The novel has a great premise. I absolutely love the male and female leads' characters! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I clicked on it out of curiosity from the rankings, read the synopsis, and thought it looked pretty good, so I started watching. At first, the names of the male and female leads were a bit… [eye roll] But ignoring the names, it's still a very good watch, and every couple is so adorable 🥰
I highly recommend this book. What I like most is the morally upright parents and the older siblings; there's no backstabbing or conflict within a wealthy family. The only drawback is that it's all about the male lead's sacrifices; the love story itself isn't shown. It's a good read when you're bored.
It's good, but quite heart-wrenching; tears kept streaming down my face.
Five stars! I read it all without skipping a single chapter. I read it during work, after work, and before bed. If I didn't have to work, I would have stayed up all night. I finally finished it! It's so sweet, I can't take it! The ending is perfect, and the side couple is so sweet too. I love it! 😢😢😢 I'm so excited!
