Weren’t You Going to Fake Your Death and Disappear? Why Are You Upset That I Found Someone Else?

I came from the previous book, *Fish and Cat* (which was also super good), and this one is just as good! I'm really looking forward to the "chasing-back-the-wife-in-the-cremation" part. The author says the pursuit is even more ruthless than in *Fish and Cat*, and Xiao Chuan is a bit more heartless than in *Fish and Cat* (though it's all Zhou Lin's own doing).

I was reading halfway through a book when, in the blink of an eye, I realized, oh, it's the author of "Cat and Fish"! From then on, I couldn't escape Bai Cai's books. Bai Cai's books are undeniably excellent, so good that they changed my sore spot.

What's appealing is the melodramatic pursuit of a wife by a country bumpkin. Xiao Chuan is as warm as the winter sun—good-natured, a good cook, seemingly simple yet wise, and deserving of being a heartthrob. The story touches on the imperial court, but doesn't delve into the power struggles; the focus is primarily on the romance.

(Spoiler Warning) Every character in this book is well-developed and very fleshed out; the plot isn't just gratuitous angst. The synopsis indicates a happy ending, and later in the story, Xiao Chuan and Liu's relationship is quite warm and their bond is strong. Liu's health deteriorates, and she dies while saving someone—Xiao Chuan rescues her, and she dies on the way to the clinic.

This is a really good story! I feel like East Asians really enjoy the "love at first sight" trope. There's a little bit of angst in the middle, but a little angst is good for the soul, right? I hope Zhou Zhou wins over Xiao Chuan soon! It's definitely worth reading! ˃ ˄ ˂̥̥

I started reading this after reading "Cat and Fish"! You can trust this author's writing style! It's super good!!! I didn't usually read Hei Pi's writing, but after reading it, I'm completely captivated by Xiao Chuan! How can there be such a wonderful person, treating everyone around him with such sincerity and dedication? Xiao Chuan deserves everyone!! All I can say is good luck, Zhou Lin!

The writing is excellent, and the plot is delicate. As the author says, everyone has their own struggles and their own perspective. Zhou has a tragic past; he was never loved as a child, and his mother abandoned him because of a candied hawthorn. Later, Chuan came and gave him love, so he couldn't accept that Chuan had a new lover. All his subsequent actions can be seen as his pursuit of love.

I love those cheesy, down-to-earth stories about a woman chasing after her husband's love in a dramatic, almost tragic way. I want Xiao Zhou to regret it so much! There absolutely must be lots of side stories after it's finished; I just couldn't get enough of the side stories from the last book. I'll always be a fan of the author, keep it up! 😘😘😘 Cabbage, please update less often. I'm still a kid; I'll be in school soon, and there won't be enough time to read all the accumulated updates.

A very good book, really good. It's not too deep, nor too thin. It doesn't feel like a book at all, but rather like a real person and some events that happened to them. How can I put it? It's vivid writing. Sometimes I feel that the people in the book shouldn't have to suffer so much. Maybe it's because I've truly fallen in love with everyone in this book.

I've been following this book since the last installment of "Cat and Fish" was serialized, though I don't like to comment much. However, I've always quietly supported Bai Cai (the author), and I hope she continues to do well. I really love her writing style! 😘😘😘
