Although I don't particularly like this book, the difference in comments is just unbelievable! Please, this is a female-oriented novel, so the female lead is obviously the focus. Even if the male lead is incredibly humble, it's not unreasonable. The comments section is full of people calling the male lead a "simp," which is ridiculous.
Am I the second person to review this book?! I really want to keep reading!!!
What a pity, it doesn't seem to be a double C. However, the author writes really well. The romance is captivating, rich in emotion, and utterly mesmerizing. Xu Yunji is genuinely gentle, and Cheng Ye evokes sympathy. Their tender relationship is deeply moving. Okay, okay, the more I read, the more confused I get. The beginning doesn't seem like a virgin, but the later descriptions make her seem like a pure and innocent heroine. Okay, okay, is this how you play it? 😆
Um... How to describe it? A sweet, heartwarming story of a proud little kitten and her gentle human, a story of mutual healing? Very smooth, very nice [Note] You won't regret watching it! 👍
It's really good!! Cheng doesn't dare admit he's fallen for Yunyun, and the awkward little cat Yunyun keeps comforting him. I also love the Shen Nanxing and Song Ruoxing couple! I wish there were more updates! 😢 The only downside is that there's not enough to read!!
It's a great read, and the story is very original. Someone once said that encountering love and sex in life isn't rare; what's rare is encountering understanding. In his interactions with Cheng Ye, Xu Yunji gradually understands her personality, knowing her sensitivity, vulnerability, low self-esteem, and avoidance tendencies. Therefore, he chooses to accept and embrace her.
It's good, but I prefer the first half. I like watching male characters suffer, and there's a part in the second half where the female lead bows down to the male lead, which I couldn't bear to watch. I can't stand seeing the female lead suffer. Overall, it's definitely a good watch. The emotions are portrayed very delicately, and the male and female leads each have their own strengths and weaknesses, making it feel very realistic.
I loved it. A sweet novel that saved me from a reading slump. It's so sweet it warmed my heart! The male lead is such a Scorpio! Perceptive, composed, cunning, jealous, and always testing the waters—a little green tea, with his own hidden agendas! The female lead is just like a kitten, so cute and adorable.
So pretty! 😘 When will Shen Zhoubai, the author, appear?!
The best one I want to see is the "chasing-her-husband-in-the-cremation" scene.
