Little Shijiu Gets Spoiled and Acts Up

Her name is Shen Nianxin, and her nickname is Little Nineteen.

She’s the youngest in the family, and he’s the childhood friend who’s waited over a decade for her. She’s the little princess everyone holds dear, and her life is ordinary yet extraordinary.

Gu Yanzhi is the boy next door, two years older than her.

From the moment he first saw Little Nineteen swaddled in her blankets, when he was two and a half and she grabbed his finger and wouldn’t let go, he never managed to pull away again.

Her older brothers spent over a decade keeping an eye on him, all for nothing.

A warm, cozy story from start to finish, with no angst or melodrama. One-on-one romance, both each other’s first love, childhood sweethearts destined to be together from birth.

Reader’s guide:

1. This story is also known as The Whole Universe Loves Little Nineteen and Yanzhi’s Diary of Secret Love.

2. The male lead watches the female lead grow up and realizes how he feels after reaching adolescence. He’s a cool, top-of-the-class type who pays close attention to the little things.

3. The female lead isn’t a helpless airhead. She’s doted on but not spoiled: she’ll give people a piece of her mind when needed, and act cute when she feels like it.

4. Her older brothers and sisters don’t get much page time, but they’re not absent either. The older women ship the couple, while the older men keep a close watch on the boy. Their reactions couldn’t be more different.

5. The only tearjerker in the whole story is the grandfather’s death. Otherwise, read without worry.
