The Sunshine Secret-Crush Pact

It's a familiar trope of a contractual marriage, but the author has given it a fresh twist. The male lead isn't a cold, domineering CEO; he's a charming but not promiscuous playboy. The female lead isn't a naive, innocent girl; she's a perceptive and clear-headed doctor. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings; problems are addressed directly.

The author's warning about potential angst actually excited me. It wasn't just mindless sweetness; the female lead's years of unrequited love, coupled with the constant stream of women surrounding the male lead, created a poignant sense of inadequacy. The pressure from family, societal expectations, and past misunderstandings were portrayed so realistically.

I've read this book several times. The first time, my attention was completely on Xin Xin, a very insightful and gentle female lead, quite unlike the typical Tomato (a popular Taiwanese writer) heroine. But maybe I'm just biased against Tomato heroines, haha, I thought they were too selfish. Seeing someone like Xin Xin, who's like a little sun, I couldn't help but praise her.

This book completely changed my opinion of Tomato (a famous Taiwanese writer), it's very, very much in the Green River style. It does have its flaws; there are many foreshadowing elements in the beginning, which might seem a bit confusing at first, but you'll understand them as you read on.

Although I was a little confused about the character relationships at first because I hadn't read the previous book, the author's writing is excellent, unfolding the story in a captivating way that kept me hooked. The early chapters were quite bittersweet, making me eagerly anticipate turning to the chapter where the male and female leads cleared up their misunderstandings and actually got…

At first, I thought it was just a one-sided crush on the female lead, but after reading the whole book, I realized it was actually a mutual crush between the male and female leads. However, due to a series of misunderstandings, they missed each other for a long time. But it wasn't one of those clichéd plots; it was a unique experience for the characters.

Yan Yan is the most heartbreaking couple I've read since Victoria Harbour, even more so than Victoria Harbour itself. At least I don't feel sorry for Wenwen missing out on Liang Shuhuai, but Shen Huayan missing out on Su Jiayan leaves me so heartbroken I feel like she'll never have a good life.

This is the author's second book, and the writing is still excellent. Xin Xin and Xiao Sheng's love story really made me laugh and cry—it was sweet, heartbreaking, and fun all at once. But I'm really sad that the side couple has a tragic ending. The cousin and Miss Shen love each other so deeply! Since you've already written it that way, why couldn't you just have them get together in the end…?

The descriptions are delicate and insightful. For the first time, I truly felt the power of the writing. I really wanted to give it six stars instead of five, and you'll understand how good it is. This urban romance novel is subtle and poignant, weaving a poignant tale of unrequited love over many years within the framework of an arranged marriage that blossoms into romance.

If you've ever had a crush, I highly recommend watching this. Tian Xin truly delivers the best answer to unrequited love. Because she fell for someone wonderful, she transformed herself into a wonderful person. The love story between Young Master Sheng and Miss Tian is incredibly touching. It's not melodramatic; it's very relatable, just like the everyday things we encounter. I stayed up all night watching it and cried several times. I really hope they get a happy ending.
