   Four stars on first reading. I liked the beginning, but I didn't really like some of the female lead's career development, and I disliked the constant connection to YG Entertainment. I also didn't really like BP. However, the romance in this book is really well-written. (I haven't read a few chapters yet.)

   Four stars on first reading. It's good, I like it, and I'll read it again. It's by the same author as *Love's Wish*, a reborn dragon vs. Assistant Tang, both reborn. The female lead's career path later becomes that of a photographer, and the development is alright. The ambiguous period is also enjoyable. Because it's a dual rebirth story, the two know each other's future and steadfastly choose each other. (The main character became a third-generation character quite early on. Recently, due to Taiyin's actions and the two fan groups' attempts to discredit the dragon, I've completely lost interest in the later side stories and am now a die-hard fan. Also, I suddenly realized I can't read this book a second time, although I don't know why.)

   Curator note

   I've given it three and a half stars after my first reading. This book is purely sweet with no angst, featuring childhood sweethearts. The portrayal of the events of 2011 in this story is incredibly touching; the female lead is so determined, even sending Kwon Yong to find her. I really loved watching them live, eat, and chat in her apartment during that time—they were practically soulmates! Kwon Yong had already decided to be with her forever when he confessed, and they both provided each other with an incredible sense of security. Highly recommended. The only downside is that things get a bit calmer after the female lead returns to Seoul. It's still sweet, but the later parts get a bit too monotonous with all the pure sweetness. I preferred the part before her military service. I also watched some of the variety shows that followed, and I really liked some of the clips. To be honest, while some parts were a bit boring, they were definitely very slice-of-life.

   This book has an interesting premise: the dragon's black card is linked to the female lead in China, and she receives occasional small bill notifications. The female lead is a computer science student who starts with a food delivery app and gradually builds her business. (I kicked Xiaofa out, but Dafa stayed. I didn't want to read it anymore, but I was looking for something to read, so I went back. The author's intention was to leave no regrets, and Taiyang and Dasheng have also changed, but I feel like those characters are hard to change. However, I was looking for something to read, so I read it again. It's okay, I can continue reading. The main issue is the male and female leads' unwavering choices towards each other, which made me drop it again. I still can't stand it, but those who can accept it can still continue reading. I finished reading it because I was looking for something to read [facepalm and crying emoji])

   I won't rate this one yet, as I've only read the beginning. The career development is well-written, and the female lead's setting is very interesting; the author must have done a lot of research. (She's already successfully taken over, but I haven't read the rest yet.)

   Curator note

   I'd give it three and a half stars for my first reading. It's a bit better than her previous works, although there was a part of the plot that I didn't understand at first. But as the author developed the story later, I realized, "Oh, that makes sense," and the female lead's decision was logical. However, I still skipped through a lot of it (the main story is finished, but there are still some side stories being added, and some parts feel contrived; honestly, I don't remember much about this book after finishing it...).

   First reading, three stars. No major twists or turns, a sweet story. The dragon isn't particularly close to the main character, but the older man/younger woman dynamic is well-developed. If you're looking for a completed story, this is worth checking out; it's short and I finished it quickly. The female lead is a model, and her name is rather odd, lol. I might reread it.

   Four stars. An incredibly Mary Sue male lead, appealing to both men and women. In his past life, he was a woman reincarnated as a man, still from the same family. Due to family feuds, he was kicked out and forced to incur huge debts, so he entered the entertainment industry to pay them off. Because of the dragon, he chose to debut in a group. Under the influence of the male lead and the dragon, the group's setup becomes perfect; even criminals aren't in the group. The dragon, because this world has a touch of fantasy, has many dreams of the real world. They have a very strong, CP (couple) vibe. Although there's no explicit romance between them in this story, it's very well-written, and they both feel special towards each other. The author says they'll both be single by the end, so feel free to ship them. However, I treated the other couples as background characters. (The male lead is really charming; he's good at acting, singing, dancing, making, shooting, archery, sports, pottery, musical instruments, studying, etc. But I still think this story is quite good; those interested can check it out. And the two producers are a perfect match!)

    I'd give it four and a half stars on my first viewing. If you enjoy various callbacks and subtle foreshadowing and resolutions, this is definitely for you. It's an amazing love story between a science-oriented girl and an art-loving boy. (The narrative is complete, the plot is verifiable, and the romance isn't forced, although some parts are unrealistic.)

    Second reading, five stars. This is the book I love the most. The writing is concise and the sweet love story of the reborn dragon is superb, as is the dark and gloomy side story. It's a very high-quality book and not angsty at all. Although the leopard and cat are both ruthless, it's a perfect match for the song "bona".

Her writing is really, really, really good. She likes to update a chapter every few months, but she's been dragging it out without unblocking the VIP chapters. She's such a speechless author [eye roll]. But maybe she's busy with something in her current life. But after such a long delay, I think it's probably impossible for her to come back and update. After all, she may have forgotten the previous plot.)

    Third viewing!!! Five stars, because the side stories are also very good kk. I hope there will be more side stories later. A stable romance with no major ups and downs, the girl is really suitable for Quan's highly sensitive personality, a natural-born lover. Second viewing finished.

    Two-time reread, five stars. The non-human setting is so cute and not at all strange. It's naturally cute rather than awkwardly cute. The side stories are absolutely amazing and highly recommended. The first dragon fanfic side story clearly states that there will be no children. It's like a dream. I'll reread it in a while.

    Five stars after just one read! This story is so well-written that you'll want to urge for daily updates. It's probably because the author, writing their fourth dragon novel, has improved tremendously and successfully evolved into a high-quality writer. It's both funny and touching, with a coherent plot. It's already finished! The plot flows smoothly, a perfect match. Honestly, the tug-of-war between the dragon and Xiao Shui, the dragon's complete pouring of love finally winning Xiao Shui's complete favoritism—even though our Xiao Shui is such an awkward person! Loving someone is truly like nurturing a flower. But wait, where are the promised epilogues? More than a month has passed, and there still aren't any! (Love Xiao Shui so much!

(Nv Bao is free-spirited, focused, honest, and not pessimistic—I love her so much! [Doge emoji with rose in hand]). The side stories are also great! I especially love the third and first worlds. The second world is a bit rushed, but I highly recommend watching the later episodes of the "Accompanying 17" tour and the marriage proposal.

    Second reading, four and a half stars. Suitable for reading all at once after the story is finished. A reliable author. The female lead's career path is stable and reassuring. Straightforward and straightforward. It's finished now, with four extra chapters. The romance and career storylines are both very good, but there's a bit too little romance. In the early stages, the female lead is an unknown member of a girl group who is exploited by the company. Later, she signs with A-Company and becomes a solo producer. She and Long got together shortly before she enlisted in the military, and their relationship was exposed after only a few days, which was hilarious. The female lead gives Long a notebook to commemorate some small things, and then the two of them write a song based on each other's notebooks. Hehe, so sweet. The only minor flaw is that there isn't enough romance.

Schrödinger's Cat is the top writer of "South Korea's Son-in-Law" novels. If Schrödinger's Cat finishes this book and continues writing, I will always support her!
