   The first one was alright, but the ending felt a bit rushed. The second one had a goofy male lead, a money-loving female lead, and an adorable little baby. The third male lead was very direct; I was really drawn to his straightforwardness. The female lead was so cute, yet also very cool. Qi Shaobai was quite arrogant—and adorable too. Even the female lead's other friends had their own unique charm and were very nice. Everyone in the book had their own career and their own emotions; they weren't mindless or stupid, and they wouldn't give up their careers for love. Everyone shone brightly in their own little world. The overall storyline wasn't particularly outrageous or melodramatic, and there weren't too many twists and turns. Most importantly, both the male and female leads had mouths, so there weren't many long misunderstandings.
