   Reader note

   It took me three days to finish reading this book (I didn't read the extras because I thought the ending left me with just the right feeling. If I read the extras, it might affect my thoughts on Lu Da and Pei Si, so I ultimately chose not to read them). Overall, this article is very readable and very thoughtful, but I think there are two small shortcomings. One is that the first 20 chapters or so of this article, that is, the fragments of Lu Da, are written a bit like those in ancient Ba Zong literature. So if you can accept some embarrassing moments in the early stages, this novel will be a fool's errand! Another thing is, I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but I always felt that the heroine didn't love the hero that much in the early stage, but she did fall in love with the hero in the later stage, but it made me feel that the heroine had loved Lu Da before, mainly because of the love between Lu Da and Lu Er, which made me feel itchy to struggle with this point. But in general, it depends on each reader's understanding and definition of love. If you think so, I think this is a very clever point, just like many people always have a crush on someone when they are reading, but they never thought about being with him. It feels like a very pure feeling. Secondly, I want to talk about the good points: First, the two characters in the article, Yi Conglan and Lu Suisui, have similar experiences to a certain extent, have similar endings, and have similar attitudes towards the girls they like. This sense of similarity gives me a feeling that in love, you actually need to learn to let go and be relieved. Only in this way can you have a better ending. Second, Pei Muchi's image is really three-dimensional and I like it very much. He silently protects Xiao Wu, hides his love for 13 years in his heart to prevent Xiao Wu from discovering it, and accompanies Xiao Wu for the rest of his life as a friend. What I like very much is that Da Da did not forcefully give this affectionate Pei Si a partner in the main text. I believe that everyone who has read this book will not like Pei Si. The third is the image of the heroine. The heroine is strong. The most important thing is that our Xiao Wu has a strong heart. Xiaowu is indeed a devil as mentioned in the article, but this beautiful devil, like her mother, retains a trace of goodwill towards everything. I think this is just right, as she can retain pure goodwill without being a virgin. Finally, I want to say that this book is really good to read. As a senior fan who only watches female videos, the heroine's baby is very fragrant and everyone will like it!

   [Crying] The "long-planned secret love" in the novel pricked the softest corner of my heart. After reading it, I seem to still feel the unbreakable tenderness in Fu Yanchu's eyes, and Shen Tingyue's joy from brokenness to brightness. This is not a sweet novel based on bloody misunderstandings, but a healing about "being firmly chosen", so delicate that every word is wrapped in warmth. The most rare thing is that the "sweetness" of this novel is never a one-way teasing, but a two-way healing and pursuit. Shen Tingyue did not dwell on the hurt of the past, and slowly regained her confidence in Fu Yanchu's tenderness. Her softness was not cowardice, but the bravery of still choosing to believe in love after experiencing disappointment; Fu Yanchu also took off his cold armor in this relationship, and would confess to her as soon as possible when there was a scandal. This kind of relationship mode of "talking without misunderstanding" made every sweetness in the relationship feel extra solid. This is a novel that makes you mouth-watering as you read it. The delicate emotional description, smooth plot advancement, and unadulterated sweet interactions all make people immersed in it. It will tell you that the best love is when someone hides your name for ten years and then spends the rest of his life giving you all his tenderness. [Crying][Crying][Crying] It's really beautiful, everyone should go and see it! Give me a hard look! Because it's worth it!
