Poor caretaker x wealthy canary
1.
When Xiliu was 22, she did something earth-shattering: got drunk at a bar and started keeping a beautiful older woman.
Xiliu: As if being broke wasn't bad enough...
But there's always a way out. Xiliu gets picked to join a leisurely variety show, with a generous paycheck and all expenses covered. Most importantly, her goddess is on it too.
Xiliu: The money doesn't matter. I'm only here for my goddess.
But why does her goddess seem to be acting strangely toward her?
Wait, isn't this the canary I was keeping?
2.
Qin Leyan has been single since birth. Since her debut, she's had zero dating scandals, and her fans and manager are fretting themselves sick over her love life.
Qin Leyan: Don't worry. I don't like anyone right now.
Fans: Maybe our Lele just doesn't like humans...
Manager: Go to Blue Smoke tonight. Don't come back unless you find someone you like!
And she really does come back with a delightful little kitten.
Except the poor little kitten wants to keep her.
3.
Fans are shocked and can't believe Qin Leyan is joining a variety show. The workaholic is actually going on one?
Wait?
Who's that girl clinging to a female civilian and whining all day?
Who's the one begging to be cuddled over a scraped finger?
Fans: They're definitely dating!
Qin Leyan: We're not dating. I'm her caretaker.
Xiliu: You're not my caretaker. We're dating.
Reader's notes:
1. The entertainment industry is only here to move the romance along.
2. Sweet romance with just a little career storyline.
3. The "Le" in Qin Leyan's name is pronounced like the "le" in musical instrument, not the "le" in happiness!
4. Updates between 6 and 11 p.m. New chapters may appear at any time. If there's nothing by 11, there won't be an update that day.

Theme: Love is growing through supporting one another. We must face ourselves despite our differences, change what is imperfect, and become better people.
The author has potential in sweet writing, and the first book was pretty good. Personally, I think the characters and plot of this book are attractive, and the low-self-esteem characters are rare and unconventional. The plot can capture the hearts of Baihe's audience. Qin Leyan wrote the falling part of the book very well, and the style is new to me. I feel that the attractive plot of each chapter is cut out and the key points are highlighted. After all, the pace is fast now and we need to quickly capture the readers. Later, I thought that the links between the attractive plots written by the author were much weaker than what I had seen before. The pace was quite fast, but not rushed. It had a refreshing feeling, but it would have been better if it was smoother, and the content was a bit thin. Let's put it this way, when I read other authors' articles, I can naturally have my own image of the protagonist and supporting characters, and I can also have a more three-dimensional perception of the city, but The main character in this book is on the mediocre side, the supporting characters feel too tooly, and some details are not handled well (in my personal opinion). The whole book is intermittent, but I only remember the later ones, such as the plot where I wanted to design a light-themed design at the end. The final explanation was that it was Yunran's commission, but why it was done, there seems to be no explanation. It feels like a burden has been buried, but it has not been completely solved. It shouldn't be a hint that Yun Ran likes Xi Liu. Although it is written that Yun Ran is unconditionally good to Xi Liu, there is no mention of Yun Ran at all in the middle section. (It's not Yin and Yang, I just read this paragraph again when I was typing and suddenly thought of this possibility, so I wanted to type it out and talk about it). In short, improvements are recommended. There is nothing special about writing such a long paragraph. I just saw a certain chapter and suddenly felt excited about reading it. I wanted to read the comments to see if other readers were also excited. Unexpectedly, there were no comments. After reading the entire book, I suddenly wanted to share my thoughts. Maybe the last paragraph seems like innuendo, but I think the author has strength and potential. Please bear with me if the writing is not good. My personal thoughts. If I offend, please forgive me.
This is a good article, and the author's setting is quite interesting. The part where the waistcoat was about to fall off but finally fell off gave me great satisfaction. The thoughts and feelings were really great, especially for Lele. The article is not long, very sweet, not complicated, not ridiculous, very relaxed and interesting. But as other friends said, the plot is indeed not very coherent. Sometimes the chapter after reading does not connect with the next chapter. It feels like the previous chapter was not finished and a paragraph was missing. Moreover, the plot setting of the general environment is not very rigorous. During the period of criticizing the vest, he posted on Weibo as Yanyan and posed for photos. In connection with the subsequent variety show live broadcast, the screen was pinched but the microphone was not turned off. It should be easy for netizens to guess the relationship between the two. Also, sometimes the psychological portrayal of the characters cannot keep up with the development of the plot. When Xixi called Lele's vest on the variety show, Lele's psychological thoughts were not expressed at all. Also, maybe the author is afraid of confusion among readers? When Lele got along with Xixi as a vest, the third perspective used her own name instead of the vest name. Personally, I felt that it might be better to use the vest name. In those chapters, I always suspected that Lele had lost her vest. Then, in terms of characters, I feel that Xixi is not as prominent and plump as Lele, and indeed, the supporting characters are like tool men, always coming out for a stroll at critical moments. When Lele nicknamed Xixi Yunyou earlier, I thought they had the same name as Yunran, so I looked back and figured it out. Oh, speaking of this, there is another troublesome point (personal opinion). The author used repeated characters in the names, Yun Ran, Yun You, You An, and An Ran. There are not many names, and the roles are very impressive, but you can still distinguish them. However, the role itself has few roles and not many roles. In the later stage, I was a little confused. I had to think carefully before I figured out who this was. And the part about light and the envelope, I thought it was an order placed by Lele, echoing the part about the training camp in the previous article, but later it was said that it was ordered by Yun Ran. I thought she was with An Ran or You An (I confused the two when reading that chapter), and I completely gave up on my feelings for Xixi (I was thinking about some plot in my mind...). I even thought so when we held the wedding. Finally, I learned about You An's singlehood in the extra chapter, and they turned out to be not a couple. There are many places that the author could expand on, but it's a pity that he didn't write more about childhood sweethearts like Yun Ran, and An Ran. I always suspect that she likes Xixi (she is the chief designer of the brand, and this brand also used Xixi's green manuscripts before. It's not An Ran who saw Xixi's manuscripts. And I love and value talent. It's great that I fell in love with this person because of his inspiring works. Ahem, it's all my personal opinion. Also, I kind of forgot who selected Xixi's manuscript, and the painting that Xixi particularly liked in the exhibition. Who is the author? An Ran? In summary, the article is sweet, light-hearted and interesting. But I prefer the author's other book, Crazy Patch Be Aesthetics, which is really amazing!
