I stumbled upon Tomato's (a popular Chinese audio drama series) novel! 😄😄😄 Such a famous work, adapted into multiple audio drama versions, only has a score of 7-something, which is quite puzzling. 🤦🤔🤔 I've listened to the audio drama many times, but this is the first time I've read the novel; the written descriptions are so delicate.
This is probably the least angsty of the 188 books. The puppy is really good, not a jerk, just a bit too possessive and a total jealous type. But he genuinely dotes on President Gu, taking care of all the housework and constantly growing stronger to protect him. I absolutely love it! 😍😍😍😍
I enjoyed the back-and-forth between Gu Qingpei and Yuan Yang. Aside from the initial drugging incident, Yuan Yang seemed alright. Personally, I don't think Yuan Yang is a jerk; it's really because of his father. Shui Da's writing is excellent; I love her so much! 😘😘😘
Wow, it's so good! The emotional expression is amazing!!! The helplessness and reluctance of adults are portrayed so vividly!!! The tug-of-war between Gu Qingpei and Yuan Yang is incredible!!! The ending and the epilogue are so sweet!!! I've been wanting to read the original novel for so long, but I don't have the money to buy a physical copy.
I started reading *The Showdown* because Gu Qingpei and Yuan Yang made cameo appearances in *A Drunken Year*. I was particularly curious about Gu Qingpei at the time and thought he was a nice guy. After reading the book, I realized he truly is an exceptional person. Honestly, he's probably the kind of person most girls would like: gentlemanly, refined, respectful, and exceptionally capable.
"Hit and Run" is, in my opinion, the best book by 188 Books. The little dog isn't a jerk; his love for the fairy is loyal and passionate. He'll grow stronger for her sake, striving to become powerful enough to protect her. The fairy's love for the little dog is doting and tender; she worries about him and would risk everything for him.
I finished reading it again! I'm so excited! I've liked Yuan Yang and Gu Qingpei for over three years, sob sob. I've read the story over and over again, and I never get tired of it. It's truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven! I love Shui Da, I love Yuan Yang and Gu Qingpei, and I love all the members of the 188 boy band, D. O.!! Finally, I'll say it again: I love Yuan Yang and Gu Qingpei!
"Needle and Edge" is practically my ideal, a work of art. How to put it? "Needle and Edge" was my gateway into novels and even radio dramas. I didn't like reading novels before, but back then, the radio drama (the Shanbei version) was all the rage. I kept seeing it while scrolling through videos, especially Gu Jiangshan's voice acting for Yuan Yang, with his line, "I fucking love you!"
To be honest, after reading from the first chapter to the last, including the epilogue, I'm still incredibly moved. I'd heard about how wonderful this book was from online sources and friends, but I never got around to reading it. I'd never experienced a workplace romance before; this was my first, and also the most unforgettable one.
Super good! When Yuan Yang was at his lowest point, no one was willing to take the huge risk of vouching for him, only Gu Qingpei, only him, was willing to risk his entire fortune to vouch for Yuan Yang! The love between the angelic beauty and the younger, more masculine man is genuine! Highly recommend watching!
