Actually, I started reading this book quite a while ago, and I only had a general impression of the earlier parts. Today, I suddenly got into it (mainly because I finally found the book I had forgotten to read a few days ago, hehe), and I finished it in one go. It was exhilarating, yet I felt a little empty.
The process was realistic, but the ending was like a fairy tale.
A fairytale ending, but the process was very realistic. Thank you to the author for creating such a wonderful novel.
It's rare to see such a clear-headed female lead; the entanglement of rationality and emotion is truly captivating, and I also really like the male lead's type.
The author's skill in writing is superb, stopping here is just right.
My comprehension is terrible! Could someone please enlighten me? What are Lu's feelings for the female lead? Did he ever like her, or was it just a fleeting infatuation? He slept with his friend, then ran away, and then proposed—this is the only character I don't understand. Please help! Does anyone else know anything about this and can explain it to me?
I really like the character Xiao Yu, and I hope she has a bright future.
Sometimes I wonder why the male and female leads, who are already successful and wealthy, couldn't just give up the pursuit of money and settle down to enjoy life? But then I think I understand. What they had to give up wasn't just money, but their careers—it was the answer sheet for the first twenty years of their lives, the result of their hard work.
The female lead is so enviable; she's independent in thought and has clear goals instead of just drifting through life aimlessly. 😍 She makes choices with conviction instead of indecisiveness for ages. [Cat paw emoji]
What a clean and crisp ending! It really aligns with what's written in the book: matters of the heart don't need to be explained to others, and it doesn't even touch on other people's feelings.
