   Childhood sweethearts, mutual unrequited love—it's not exactly a long-awaited reunion; they've kept in touch, just a little awkward, but it's so sweet!! Their mutual attraction is huge, and they're already together! No wonder it's Shuwei—she's so good at writing about childhood sweethearts. Her novels "Candied Plum" and "A Rainy Day" are also great! Both are about childhood sweethearts [sunglasses]

   The childhood sweetheart setting in a Shanghai alleyway is quite nice, and the young boy and girl are so adorable! It's a story that started when they were young, but it's never boring and I kept reading! I felt the charm of the clingy, slightly gloomy male lead (not really, he's actually quite sunny). I finished reading it in one go; the main story is already complete. It's rare to find a happy ending in this one. I previously read her "To Your Sun," which also featured a childhood sweetheart/unhappy ending with a younger sister/gentle older brother; it was quite heartwarming, and both characters died.

   The female lead, a healer, saves the male lead and discovers he's her best friend's brother, so she calls him "cousin." It's a classic case of the woman pursuing the man, but he's unaware of his own feelings. The core is a mutual attraction. The romance is well-written; misunderstandings are quickly resolved, and there's a "chasing after the wife" element, but it's not a tragic, heartbreaking story.

This conclusion didn't match reality, because Cheng Chuge was perfectly fine. In fact, Xu Yuan was the one who died first. Af 11.3kFavorites13.3kClicks/ch9.2kGifts

   What a touching book! The male and female leads were high school classmates who had planned to go to University A together. The male lead was attacked and broke up with her. The female lead was involved in a murder on her university registration day and died innocently. She died for five years and turned into the glasses the male lead wanted. He bought them and made me want to cry so much because the male and female leads were so good to each other and loved each other so much. The male lead returned to China to investigate the female lead's case and became a police consultant. The male lead and the 18-year-old psychologist are super cute and pure. The female lead was so hard to leave the book. The spirits were also very cute. I don't usually read fantasy or crime novels, but this one is really good.

   So good! I struck gold! It's like a childhood sweetheart story where the female lead falls in love at first sight with the male lead, a classmate from elementary school. They reunite in high school. In middle school, the female lead had a crush on the second male lead and confessed, but was rejected. However, I don't think it was true love; it was more like she couldn't hold on and went looking for someone else? Actually, I've never forgotten the male lead; the writing is quite good.

It's well-written, with a strong sense of emotional turmoil and a hint of reconciliation, especially since they almost had an online romance before. Their first meeting was when they were 10-year-old high school classmates. It's a great read!

    This is an exceptionally good book about rivalry! The synopsis made me think it was a romance novel, but it turns out to be a mutual love story! The author's writing has improved so much!

    Excellent! It's rare to finish a female-centric novel like this, and the romance was surprisingly touching. The childhood sweetheart dynamic and the mutual attraction were incredibly strong.

    Absolutely fantastic! Top 1 among eunuch novels! I love the scholarly integrity of the eunuch x the gentle and aloof empress—I absolutely adore this pairing! No substitutes available QAQ. I just don't understand why eunuchs are now portrayed as cunning and wicked; gentleness is truly captivating!
