I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰

This is a great story. This is the most powerful and well-developed Zhao Di character I've ever read. It's less about the male lead helping her and more about the protagonist's own struggles and self-reflection that ultimately helped her. That's why she fell in love with the male lead's name at first sight. She is that kind of person; the entire story revolves around her own actions.
The female and male leads are a perfect match! It's the first time I've seen a female lead who's "big and strong," capable of fighting off thugs and gangsters, and dealing with workplace power dynamics and unspoken rules. She's incredibly intelligent and emotionally intelligent. She doesn't judge by looks, but by her personal charm and abilities, winning everyone over.
Still a great read! After finishing this one, I'll have to wait for the new book—ah, the wait is so long! Except for the male lead, everything is very realistic. This kind of male lead only exists in female-oriented novels; the probability of encountering one in real life is probably lower than winning the lottery. Also, the reviews are excellent!
This is a wonderfully written adult fairy tale—exhilarating, realistic, and romantic all at once. The female protagonist is a true fighter and idealist, brimming with vitality. I often dislike romantic subplots in novels, feeling they bind and restrict the female lead.
This book deserves five stars; it's at least a 9.6 In my opinion. It's hilarious yet suffocating at times. Thankfully, the female lead escapes her dysfunctional family. She's multi-talented, courageous, resourceful, and self-reliant—truly lovable!
The novel is humorous and entertaining. Although the title, "Zhao Di," sounds rather somber, the female protagonist actually possesses a strong inner spirit. Unlike typical face-slapping saga novels, this book is written with great subtlety and realism. Highly recommended.
It's very well written; it's the first book I've read that shows a character who knows they're trapped in a quagmire but can't let go, yet ultimately manages to save themselves. While it's not a feel-good story, and some readers might find it painful, it reflects reality. Knowing your family of origin is a quagmire, yet clinging to blood ties and a sliver of pity, you deceive yourself. But the ending, where you finally break free, is okay. Keep going!
Super good! The male and female leads are incredibly charming, both with high IQ and EQ. Their relationship is full of chemistry; their initial subtle flirting is evenly matched, and once they confess their feelings, it's incredibly sweet. A must-read! Definitely my best novel of the year! Highly recommended! I'm giving the author a huge shout-out!!
It's really good! It's witty, humorous, and insightful. A mature workplace story, with interesting and thought-provoking dialogues. The female lead is a muscular, boxing-loving tech expert with exceptional emotional intelligence, navigating various workplace relationships with remarkable skill!
I've struggled with myself for so long, I'd rather be myself. This is a story of a strong person who grows up and breaks through the patriarchal family, a fairy tale in reality. Regardless of gender, one must be strong to break free from the family of origin. Many comments ask why the female protagonist didn't sever ties with her family. Blood ties are indeed a powerful force.
