   I came here after reading another novel by the same author. I like this kind of refreshing short story with no angst and sweet romance. The main character, Su Beizhai, slowly and deliberately gets close to the female lead, Yan Luo, through his work. The writing is delicate and comfortable to read. The plot is a bit monotonous, but it is very realistic and relatable. It's just a shame that the story ends just when the two of them are getting together and you're really looking forward to more. The pacing is a bit too fast and a bit abrupt! The ending is too rushed and is a flaw. "Yan Zhi You Li" (111) has a well-structured plot. The main storyline revolves around the male lead, Shen Shuli's, long-planned pursuit of the female lead, Yan Zhi. The subplots include friends, besties, and supporting couples. The characters are well-developed, with positive values. The dialogue between Yan Zhi and Su Li is humorous and engaging. Shuli's affection and care for Yan Zhi, along with Ms. Mu's elegant and wise educational methods, all reflect the male lead's good character, kindness, and loving interactions. Five stars for its positive and nuanced portrayal of people and situations. "To You Without Restraint" (165) (Doctor vs. Online Novel Writer) is another recently watched and highly recommended drama. It tells the delicate love story between a genius doctor and a female online novelist, Dr. Fu, who encounters Wen Ying, a woman drowning her sorrows on her way home. Sweet and without any scheming or intrigue... The author's writing is delicate and gentle, making it a very comfortable read. "A Smile in Retrospect" NO:22 is a sweet and romantic campus love story between two top students, Xiao Ziyuan and Sui Yi. The author's writing is fantastic! I love this series of works by the author.
