She could identify with every word, each one piercing her ears and making her already fragile heart tremble. Everyone here was a super-rich second-generation heir from Yuezhou, Ji Ke's friends, childhood buddies, and classmates. Song Wei was Ji Ke's best friend; the Ji Crown Prince she knew was an unattainable beauty, a rare gem, not someone so easily descended to earth. Qi Xiao'er chimed in, "Then what about the student girl Ruan Yuan he often brings along?" Qin Fanghao, a neighbor from Ji Ke's old house, scoffed, "Just for fun! Do you think he's serious? His family has only had one son for three generations; how could he possibly have designs on that student girl?" "That's true. I heard that student girl has no parents and earns her tuition herself through part-time jobs. Given the status and position of our Prince Ji's parents, she should just grab some money and run!" Qi Xiao'er agreed. Song Wei said, "Don't even mention social standing. Ji Ke is just having some fun; how could it possibly lead to marriage?" Seeing the women chattering away, Gu Yanli, who was playing cards nearby, turned his head and said, "Stop arguing. Aci won't marry her."

    This is the most heart-wrenching yet heartwarming book I just read. It was incredibly moving and had a powerful aftertaste. I highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from appearance anxiety, has a history of low self-esteem, comes from a difficult family, has had relationship problems, or has unrequited love. The ending, especially the scene where the female lead confronts her parents and the male lead pulls her back, was particularly painful for her. The author's language is understated yet incredibly poignant, making it very difficult to read and causing me great sorrow for the female lead. [I'm almost crying][I'm almost crying][I'm almost crying] From Xia Chou to Xia Chou, every step of her journey was incredibly difficult.
