The female lead is outstanding; she has excellent personal qualities and a very good family background! The male lead isn't actually as good as the female lead; the female lead sees her husband through a filter. Of course, they're both great! It's still ongoing! I read it too early; I should have waited until it was finished.
I clicked on this because of the word "Zhejiang," and as a Zhejiang native, I can attest to its character. Some aspects are indeed very characteristic of Zhejiang, like demolition compensation and business dealings. Girls from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region who receive compensation for demolished properties often come from wealthy families, but the difference isn't that significant when the…
This is a fairly realistic novel. I've been reading domineering CEO stories for years, and now I really like this type of novel. The male lead has a crush on the female lead, but it doesn't stray from reality. Although the female lead still harbors resentment about what happened before, she gradually lets go and they reconcile after the male lead explains things and strongly advocates for the public good.
It's quite good, very realistic, and feels like things that happen around us. It's very authentic, and the parts about starting a business and attracting investment are also very relatable. My friends in the same industry have talked to me about it, and it feels incredibly close to reality. 😂
This novel feels like it could be adapted into a film; it's very relatable. The author will definitely make a fortune! 😠😠💕💕💕
This book is fantastic, so realistically written. I especially love the part about business and entrepreneurship; it's probably based on real events. No wonder the Jiangnan region is so wealthy!
It's good. Marriage is a mess 🪶, letting go 🫳 leads to regret, although... But... They should be able to get back together later, right? They both still have feelings for each other, haha. Update soon, let's see how they win back Ah Jun's heart ❤️
It was a little unbelievable when it ended. Reading this book is like having a conversation with a good friend; the descriptions and events are realistic enough to make you want to keep reading. There aren't many melodramatic plots, just everyday family matters and some inappropriate or undesirable actions. But every character in the story grows and becomes more well-rounded.
I stayed up all night reading over ten chapters, it's really well-written! I hope Pei and Shuang remarry soon. Is the author from Wenzhou? This story is so realistic, why is the rating so low?
Two people who initially didn't understand themselves well entered into marriage, but divorced due to trivial family matters and a lack of communication. Afterwards, both grew in different ways, learning to communicate effectively when problems arose, to express their love, and to stand up for their partners and take responsibility.
