It's really, really good! She didn't break up with her childhood sweetheart at the beginning and then fall for Gu Xun immediately; it was a gradual process of getting to know each other that made her fall in love. It's definitely worth watching. I'm at a loss for words, I'm not good at expressing myself, but it's so good!!!
Ye Zhaoran, the female lead with impeccable morals, decisively breaks off her engagement; Gu Xun, the cunning and secretly passionate male lead, successfully wins over the girl he's secretly loved for years; Chuan Ge, having missed his chance and remained single for five years due to unrequited love, finally achieves his wish after mastering the art of seduction with his brother-in-law; Fang Chi…
A very sweet story; both the male and female leads are talkative, and their daily romance is very realistic and genuine. Highly recommended! But I really hope Chuan Chuan has a happy ending. Please, author, write another book or add a side story! 😭😭😭😭
The writing is fantastic, crisp and concise, without any unnecessary embellishment. It dislikes the idea of mending a broken mirror. A broken mirror, even if repaired, will still be flawed. Throw it away if it needs to be thrown away, replace it if it needs to be replaced. With billions of people in the world, there's bound to be one that suits you. Even if there isn't, finding something beautiful on its own is better than settling for something rubbish.
It's really good. The female lead didn't take her clothes off when she broke up with her boyfriend; she was very decisive. The romance between the male and female leads is very well-written, and there's even a "negative couple" (couples who are not meant to be) in the story. I felt so disappointed when I saw the ending; I thought it was going to be a sad ending. But then there was an extra episode, so happy!
It's very sweet. The male lead secretly likes the female lead, and after she breaks up with her boyfriend, he immediately starts pursuing her, subtly hinting and confessing his feelings. Their relationship faces a few minor obstacles due to the male lead's lack of confidence, but they are ultimately very happy together. My ex-boyfriend and his mother are really bad people; they say such awful things. I feel sorry for my brother, but thankfully he finally got together with Zhou Meng.
It's alright, you can check it out if you're looking for something to read. Both the male and female leads have strong moral values; the female lead breaks up with her boyfriend decisively after discovering he no longer loves her. The male lead, upon finding out she's broken up with him, quickly pursues her. The writing style is slightly lacking, but overall it flows quite smoothly.
This novel is about unrequited love turning into reality. Gu Xun's feelings for Ranran are beautifully portrayed; you can feel his cautiousness and fear of missing his chance. Chuan and Meng almost missed each other, only to return to the crowd and become another Fang Chi and Ye Zhaoran. And then there's the adorable Princess Ze, whose home was ultimately stolen.
Hahaha, it's so good! The rating is a bit low. It's a very sweet and slice-of-life story with no bad guys or messy, melodramatic plots. It has a very touching pace. The epilogue makes up for the regrets of Chuan'er and Zhou Meng in the main story, creating a world where only Zhou Ze is hurt. 😂
It's a very good book. The male lead has a crush on the female lead. The female lead initially had a boyfriend, and they were betrothed since childhood, but he didn't like her. After finding out, the female lead decisively broke up with him and called off the engagement. Later, the male lead started pursuing her, and as they spent more time together, they got together.
