A well-dressed man stood by the door and asked her, “Are you Shang Xi?” “…Yes.” “I’m the pup’s father.” The man’s tone was domineering and forceful. “Come with me. Don’t even think about refusing or putting up a pointless fight.” Shang Xi stared at his face, so much like her son’s, and leisurely answered, “Oh.” The truth was, she hadn’t even been thinking about refusing 23.2kReads9.4Score1.7kShelves

    The story begins with a reunion, not angsty. The male lead is great in every way, except for his sharp tongue, haha. They reconcile after a broken relationship, deeply in love with each other. It's a pity they didn't know how to express themselves when they were young. At first, I thought the male lead was a spoiled, arrogant young master who had been taken care of by others in the past, and I felt sorry for the female lead's sacrifices. Actually, he loved her deeply and did so much, even silently supporting her through the four years they were apart, suffering from depression, yet always watching over and protecting her. It's a shame his sharp tongue caused trouble. Thankfully, they both learned to grow and communicate better later on, experiencing a sweet romance and realistic, everyday interactions between a young couple, which is quite interesting. Their friends and family are also great.

    I've read many novels, but this one is truly different! I used to think these kinds of things on the internet were all lies, but now it's my turn to say it [laughing and crying emoji]. I originally came for a sweet romance, but the author's writing is superb. It's very realistic and logical. It's a story of reconciliation after a breakup (both leads are virgins), a normal breakup due to a misunderstanding. The story is realistic, just like ordinary people's, not outrageous. The female lead is a cardiac surgeon, and the male lead is a medical device sales manager. Highly recommended!

    After a long separation, the female lead is clear-headed and ambitious, taking this relationship lightly. The male lead, initially stubborn and headstrong, eventually realizes he's fallen for her and sees she's not fully committed to him, feeling both love and hate. This forces him to blurt out, "I'm your secret lover, the one you can't let anyone see in the light of day! I'll do whatever you want with me!"
