   While reading, I kept exclaiming how delicious and terrifying it was! What deal did the author make with fate to write such a poignant tale of love and hate? It's already my number one yuri novel. After finishing it, I frantically searched for similar works, but I still found myself in the predicament of "nothing compares to Wushan" [crying emoji]. Little Bear and Baby...

   The tug-of-war between the two is exciting and adorable, and the explicit content is quite unrestrained (we need high-quality mutual top/bottom stories like this!). The pacing of the plot is also excellent. Some of the characters' psychology and behavior are quite unexpected, and you might occasionally feel teased while reading, but it's a pleasant kind of teasing. However, after finishing the book, I'm seriously biased towards Qin Cong'an. Xu Ling is mostly lovable, but sometimes her brain freezes and she pretends to be dead really resembles that kind of honest, slightly mischievous, and not-so-bright dog, which drastically reduces her charm!! But who can blame me when mutual top/bottom stories are so delicious…^^

   It's very well written. The characters in Mao's novels feel real, not living in a vacuum. Their emotional and personal growth storylines intertwine seamlessly, making the characters believable. The arrogant elite and the honest woman are really cute and humorous... The tug-of-war in the middle is also very enjoyable, even with thrilling and exciting scenes of the wife chasing after the man TT. In some places, there are minor flaws in the handling of dramatic conflicts, but these do not detract from the overall excellence of the story. I personally felt more deeply for Cenxi, probably because this was the first time I read a yuri (lesbian) story where one of the main characters was a "small-town exam-taker" who successfully left home. Mao'er captured the courage and confusion, the clarity and constraints of a precocious runaway, which is truly remarkable. Moreover, although it is related to a small town, hometown, and leaving home, and the story begins with Cenxi returning home after losing her job, it is not a story about reconciliation, nor is it a clichéd Odyssey narrative. I think it is more like a reaffirmation of a woman's independence after leaving home, embodying the idea of ​​"letting the countryside be the countryside, and letting me be myself." Mao'er writes about female consciousness in a gentle, nurturing way, about the love that sprouts from the earth like spring buds, about the human experience of avoiding, acknowledging, confronting, and enjoying love. She writes about how honesty in expressing love allows us to break free from past prejudices and constraints, to see the other person, and to learn respect and care. It also allows us to see the deepest part of our souls, to see the softness, desires, fears, and anxieties that we actively downplay on the path to self-achievement… After honestly facing all of this, we stretch outwards, and this time, we feel more at ease having our own place in the vast world. After all, a seed doesn't need to accept barren soil, as long as it sprouts; a stream doesn't need to deny the initial fear of melting, as long as it flows to the sea. Keep it up, Mao! I hope your words get seen by more people! :)

   Curator note

   The author's skillful writing and humanistic concern allow this story to be both engaging and avoid clichés, incorporating all the necessary elements of romance and melodrama. The handling of the ex-partner storyline is particularly well done. Many non-clean romance novels portray exes superficially, or rather, too easily present past events as a black-and-white moral judgment. However, the character Shen Fu in this story is so three-dimensional, exquisite, and vivid that it evokes a deep sense of sympathy and sorrow for her ill-fated relationship with Yan Zhen and her choices. This demonstrates the author's insight into reality and respect for her characters. The career storyline, as a secondary plot, while not fully developed, is still captivating: there are no grandiose savior fantasies, only the professionalism, courage, and sincerity of Yan Zhen and her colleagues, making the reader feel as if they have returned to a time before ideals and sentiments were so easily shattered.

   A delicately crafted slice-of-life story, the tug-of-war between two mature adults in love is truly delightful! What resonated most was the latter half, the adjustment period between Qi and Xiao. The author excels at capturing the subtle anxieties in love—not the anxieties related to a crisis of trust, but the mutual trust and cherishing that makes them both yearn more and be more cautious… The deep affection is real, the healthy stability is real, and the layers of self-protection built with rationality and calmness are also real. Xiao Shuyin doesn't abandon her defenses, but chooses to trust Qi Xueyan's love even more. After reading it, I deeply felt that touching the heart is only the first step; honesty towards oneself and others is the true lesson of love. *Sobs* This is the first serialized novel I've followed to the end; it's simple yet loving, and I truly hope it never ends.
