I've read this book over and over again, and I've also discovered many shortcomings. Lin Xia in the book is gentle yet strong, and Mo Chengsheng is devoted and handsome; both of them are outstanding. When I started writing this book, I already had an ending in mind. But as I wrote the last few chapters, I felt a pang of guilt.
I think "Orange-Flavored Unrequited Love" encapsulates the bittersweet emotional journeys of the four characters: Mo Chengsheng's unwavering love for Qin Mu, Lin Xia's unspoken crush on Mo Chengsheng, Wu Turui's budding feelings for Lin Nanyin that culminated in a passionate and bold pursuit, and Liang Yan's quiet affection for Lin Xia despite knowing she loved Mo Chengsheng, even pursuing her…
I think the female lead is excellent, and the male lead isn't bad either, but since the male lead has someone else in his heart, he probably doesn't have deep feelings for the female lead. I think the female lead should let go and learn to accept other people, because if the ending is a happy one, I don't think the male lead will forget the second female lead. (Personal opinion, please don't criticize) [rolls eyes]
The more I watched, the more I couldn't stop crying, especially since Lin Xia was so outstanding, her unrequited love was unrequited, and she gradually tried to let go of the male lead. Meanwhile, Wu Turui, who was always around her in college, won her heart with his sincerity. She tried to forget the person she had a crush on in high school, but the ending was so heartbreaking. My heart aches for Xia and Wu Turui. 😢😢😢
I'm so heartbroken, I'm crying so hard! The female lead was so talented, beautiful, from a great family, and so popular. Why did she have to leave us at only 22? And later, her problems with Xiao Rui were resolved, and they could have been truly in love. The male lead was also wonderful, always remembering his childhood sweetheart. It's such a pity, so incredibly sad.
Overall, I think it's alright, but it's a bit of a shame the female lead died in the end. Wu Turui liked her for so many years, but after that incident, he refused to explain himself to her. The female lead's mother finally told her, but didn't reveal Wu's fate.
It's a great watch. The story unfolds gently, taking a sudden turn amidst the calm. At 22, she goes to a beautiful country where there is no illness, no unrequited love, and she has her beloved father.
Great! I'll definitely keep watching! But I feel so sorry for Lin Xia. Anyway, just keep watching!
At first, I thought it was no different from other unrequited love stories, but by the end, tears were streaming down my face. Lin Xia's relationship with Mo Chengsheng was a source of regret for me, while Wu Turui was the truly unforgettable one.
So far it's been pretty good, and the plot is developing well. I'd like to ask the author, is this a bad ending? 😫
