[A single, self-doubting “I’m fine, sis” law student x an unambitious “I can handle it” office worker]
At twenty-two, Su Lan lives the way her parents expect her to: never rebelling, always trying to please, and doing her best to be an ordinary person. But life rarely goes as planned. Failing the civil service exam and facing her postgraduate interview at the same time have overwhelmed her little world. Luckily, this time someone is by her side, and will stay with her from now on.
At twenty-eight, Yin Zike is a hot prospect on the blind-date circuit, but his lack of ambition has doomed every relationship he's had. Then one day, a “dummy” who showed up for the wrong shift walks into his workplace. For the first time, he meets someone who can overthink things this much. No matter, though. He has an endless supply of positive energy; he just hopes she can feel a little more at ease, and then a little more.
Love at first sight is such a cliché, but some people are simply much quicker to open someone else's heart.
“When I say I can handle it, I really can.”
“This time, so can I.”
“Will you marry me?”
“Absolutely!”
Beautiful, I like the author's writing style
It's very close to life, but the pace is too slow. We only see the male protagonist after five chapters 🧐🧐
