Dual male leads + love that grows over time + the one who got away + a groveling pursuit + reconciliation after a breakup + happy ending + both leads’ first love
Ji Rang has been a hopeless romantic since childhood. After falling for Wen Yuchuan, he resolves to make Wen Yuchuan fall in love with him, no matter what.
He gets close to him, flirts with him, and does everything he can to force him to fall in love.
After pursuing him for seven years, Ji Rang suddenly realizes that someone as cold and aloof as Wen Yuchuan could never love him.
He gives up without hesitation, turns around, and walks away without looking back.
Almost everyone thinks Wen Yuchuan doesn’t like Ji Rang, but only Wen Yuchuan knows that the five years Ji Rang was missing were the hardest years of his life.
Five years later, a twist of fate brings them together in a marriage alliance.
Ji Rang thinks he’s the one desperately chasing after love, loving Wen Yuchuan with restraint and humility. Little does he know that Wen Yuchuan schemed to make this relationship happen from the very beginning…
Overall, it's pretty good. It features strong characters who are mutually attracted, and the business warfare parts are well-written. At the beginning, it's very easy to ship the wrong couple! The author's unconventional approach is a highlight. The protagonist is intelligent and resourceful, but a bit too focused on romance.
I've been waiting for the "chasing-back-to-the-husband" scene to happen 🤦 It seems like Wen's romantic storyline with Qu is more extensive than his relationship with Ji Rang. I always feel like he only likes Ji Rang's body 🤦 He gave his heart to Qu, but his body to Ji Rang. I absolutely love Ji Rang's personality; he argues when he's unhappy and fights when he disagrees 😄
It's good, but Ji Rang is so pitiful, miserable from beginning to end. Of course, what's even more tragic is that I ended up shipping the reverse-top/bottom pairing, which made my feelings very conflicted from the middle to the second half. I felt sorry for Ji Rang, wanting someone to know the suffering he endured, wanting someone to genuinely care for him, but at the same time, his various sycophantic behaviors made me feel like he brought this upon himself, and deserved to die.
I really liked the scene where Xiao Ji asked Xiao Lulu to buy something. They've liked each other since they were little, but they always end up messing with each other.
It's beautiful, highly recommended! 💕
The story is engaging; from beginning to end, it's all about the grudges and entanglements between people, which feels very realistic.
A very good book!
It's definitely worth buying! 😳😳😳
Thank you all. I never delete comments, so feel free to tag me if you have anything to say! 😳😳😳
It's very well written; I couldn't stop reading and kept going. Highly recommended.
