[Next up: the groveling romance Is It an Addiction? Follow the author's page to preorder.]
[Main story complete. Extra chapters updated irregularly.]
After being tossed aside like trash by her so-called family and sent to live with the Li family,
Song Qiyu grew to hate everything, including the hypocritical woman who came to take her in.
The woman's name was Li Luo, a friend of Song Qiyu's biological mother.
Song Qiyu couldn't stand her and rejected her from the bottom of her heart.
No matter how attentively Li Luo cared for her, whether kindly or sternly, Song Qiyu never appreciated it. She often went too far, acting out and breaking every rule just to make trouble for Li Luo, picking fights every few days.
Li Luo, meanwhile, dealt with all of her unpleasant and troublesome behavior as patiently, calmly, and properly as she had from the start. She never held it against her, remaining composed and steady from beginning to end, like still water undisturbed by a ripple.
She was unbearably dull, more rigid than anyone about following the rules.
There was only one exception.
After Song Qiyu discovered Li Luo's long-hidden secret, she decided to get back at her. One late night, while Li Luo was drunk, Song Qiyu lay down in the one place she absolutely shouldn't have: Li Luo's bed.
That night, Li Luo lost her composure and was so furious she wanted to throw Song Qiyu out of the house.
As shameless as ever, Song Qiyu moved closer and whispered in Li Luo's ear as if it were only natural: “But you're all I have. I have nowhere else to go.”
Then she shamelessly murmured an apology: “Please, don't abandon me...”
By their usual pattern, Li Luo should have lectured her, or at the very least given her a long, pointless speech.
But that time, Li Luo only tensed her slender, straight back, and her body trembled slightly despite herself.
"I'm selfish, willful, and beyond saving. Obsessively, I want to drag you down with me into this chaotic, shifting, illusory world."
Rebellious rule-breaker x extremely self-controlled old-fashioned woman
[Key points]
1. An age-gap story. The leads are not related by blood, and all characters are adults. Li Luo works at a research institute. Song Qiyu's romance only begins after she enters university; there is no romance before then.
2. The leads, especially Song Qiyu, are imperfect.
3. Everyday slice-of-life.
Theme: Care about young people's mental health and growth. Live with a positive, sunny outlook.
I feel that the story between Li Luo and Qin Yunke was not handled well. Why did Qin Yunke commit suicide? It was not explained clearly that people would not choose this path unless they were desperate. Moreover, the article mentioned that Qin Yunke was extremely persistent towards Li Luo. In this state of concern, he would never commit suicide easily.
The author failed to explain such a crucial point clearly. It directly led to the subsequent resolution of the knot, which made people feel incredible and fake. Moreover, the article also mentioned that after the knot was resolved, Li Luo didn't care about Qin Yunke's death, thinking it was no big deal. You know, that was his childhood sweetheart, who had been almost madly in love with him, and who eventually died because of him. How could a person be so cold-blooded?
In the article, there is no mention of Li Luo's feelings for Qin Yunke, and even the friendship is not revealed at all. However, Qin Yun is a key figure in promoting the whole story, how can he treat it so lightly?
The reasonable direction should be that Li Luo not only feels guilty for Qin Yunke, but also has endless longing for him. Whether it is friendship or love, he has been tortured by guilt and longing for a long time, which has caused him to develop psychological problems. Because he cannot let go of Qin Yunke, Li Luo has been alone for a long time, trapped in the self-abuse mode of a workaholic, and unwilling to find a partner. The appearance of Song Qiyu finally solved the crux of Qin Yunke's heart in Li Luo's heart, allowing him to let go of his tragic past and obtain true redemption. Unfortunately, this article does not go in this direction.
Let me ask, how can a person who loves him remain indifferent if he eventually dies for him? Afterwards, he just regarded it as a nightmare and the culprit that caused his insomnia and mental illness, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible? There is no doubt that Li Luo's unusual cold-bloodedness towards Qin Yunke is the biggest failure of this article.
I have been waiting for this book to be finished for a long time. In fact, I have already added the pre-order before it was published. However, I paused for a long time in the middle of reading, and I was not anxious to open the progress bar to see where the update was. I didn't expect that during the waiting process, a lot of things happened in the comment area. How can I put it, I really like the author's promotion of feelings. It is not a very deliberate promotion as if something big must happen before there will be obvious changes, but I can definitely feel it. I felt a little anxious at the end of writing because I didn't catch up on each chapter, so I stayed up late for three nights to read it, so the feeling of urgency at the end was quite obvious, which is a bit of a pity, but overall, I really like the characters created by the author, and I hope that I won't be too distracted by worldly things. It affects your writing status too much. When you are tired, you must take a break and relax in time. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. See you when the next book is finished~ ps: Because chasing the update really makes me itchy. In order to avoid thinking about it, I will wait for it to be finished and read it all at once. Hahahahahahaha?
The extras I wrote will be updated from time to time. Don't forget, author.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I can't bear to leave
"It's nice of you to bear with me"
A very long free episode, satisfying
Today I suddenly clicked in again accidentally and saw the last words. I wish the two of you peace, joy and happiness [Come on]
It was slow in the beginning, but the next few chapters seemed to be very anxious and kept catching up.

Can this be Li Luo's perspective?
That's great, please write more! So pretty!
