   It's so awful, really so awful. Why did I waste my life reading this terrible book that's practically a historical record? It's all my fault. I should have run away when I was so angry at the second male lead's appearance and the main couple getting together in the first half. I cried three times in just one book, not because of the bittersweet emotional turmoil, but because I was so infuriated by the plot. The author even had the audacity to say, "Real-world circumstances leave us no choice but to make better choices." Is this a matter of choice? The stereotypical domineering CEO second male lead who appears and disappears inexplicably; the cat 2K who's just a tool; the male lead who's usually nice but yells like he's having road rage when he gets angry with the female lead; and the most important character—the female lead who throws her head around the moment someone criticizes the male lead, who feels zero sense of worthyness, security, and trust when dating him, and has zero ability to live alone after meeting him; the female lead who experiences extreme highs and lows and is constantly worried about losing him. It's all history the author fed me. If it were truly well-written, the author wouldn't have had to keep arguing in the second half that they wanted to write an adult fairy tale. We're all adults, who can't live without whom? What adult is so rich that they can't even afford a nanny, a cat, or take care of themselves? Every scene where the second male lead is pursuing the female lead and appearing with her gives me the impression that he's really pretentious. (The following comments are some random thoughts I jotted down while watching; please excuse the disorganization.) I can't take it anymore. The plot is so melodramatic and awful that I felt like vomiting as I watched. When I got to chapter 71, I kept opening the table of contents to count down the days until I could finally get through to the finale. Can anyone tell me why the female lead suddenly got together with the second male lead? I almost threw up watching this. Are fans some kind of special people? The male lead was doing a live stream of himself going to a building when I chased after someone. What's with this blatant diva-like behavior? Watching two amazing people fall in love is so tragic, but since I've already paid for it, I'm going to watch it and give it a huge thumbs down ^_^. It's inexplicable, utterly inexplicable. The masochistic male protagonist and the devoted, returning female protagonist are back together, beautifully starting over. From beginning to end, I, the reader, am the only one tormented. Who can find healing in something like this? And what's so sweet about it? Is it just the author's self-entertainment? Is the author trying to convince or challenge me? The story could have easily become sweet after the censorship was removed, but the author insisted on adding a bunch of silly plots that they thought were adult fairy tales. The extra episodes were sweet, but the male lead didn't treat his fans and audience like human beings. It's fine for actors to date, but it's really weird to use a personal interview as a program to promote a relationship. I feel that both Producer Meng and the second male lead are masters of self-pity. I don't object to the second male lead and the female lead getting together later, but it's just too inexplicable. Moreover, the second male lead isn't a good person either. From pursuing her to taking her place, he lacks any sense of propriety. He forcibly oversteps boundaries and arbitrarily isolates her. No matter what kind of injury she suffers, the female lead is an adult capable of handling messages from her ex. She was dumped by the female lead not because he was the second male lead, but because he didn't respect her autonomy. Therefore, the separation wasn't a result of learning about the text messages, but an inevitability. Conclusion: I will never be fooled by whales again (crying). I thought the book title had my favorite whale in it, but it ended up making me buy it.

2. 2 低 Flying Low Through Summer 低低飞过夏天 Zhou Wanyu周晚欲Romance341k WordsCompleted "We rise, flying low over summer." 1) On the day she transferred to Third High School, Wen Nong introduced herself at the front of the classroom. Zhou Xilin had just woken up. He misheard her name as "Wenrou" and teasingly called out, "Welcome, Wenrou!" The tips of Wen Nong's ears turned red as she corrected him. "It's Nong... the Wu dialect word for 'you' in 'you, me, and them.'" But he had already lost interest, turning to chat about something else with his deskmate. Yet in that very moment 21.9kFavorites19.6kClicks/ch7.2kGifts

   I actually finished reading the main text of the book, but it left me feeling really frustrated. First of all, regarding the male lead's character, I found it absurd when I first started watching. It was written that he had many women around him when they first met, and later it was said that he was just pretending to be a playboy. In the end, the female lead kissed him after drinking, and it turned out to be her first kiss. This character setting is really terrible. A playboy is a playboy, but a pure-hearted fake playboy is really uninteresting and unconvincing. Secondly, the female supporting character's storyline was also terrible; it was simply awful. Why should the female lead feel any sympathy for her just because of her tragic fate? I don't deny her suffering, but the female lead shouldn't have any complicated feelings towards her. The female supporting character's misery is a blade aimed directly at the female lead. She harbors immense resentment, but she chooses to vent it on the female lead. She becomes pathological because of her family's preference for sons over daughters, but instead of fighting back against her family, she uses her anger to target the weaker when she can't vent her emotions. Moreover, her plagiarism at work is something she can't whitewash. The intense resentment and stubbornness ultimately destroy her, and her family cuts off her future, pouring all the energy she left behind into their own descendants. However, I was somewhat satisfied to see that they would most likely die far from home in the end. The female lead's story is just so-so. It suffers from the common problems of romance novels with a tragic female lead and unrequited love: a miserable family background, strong self-esteem but low self-esteem, and a twisted mentality caused by desire, which makes the already complicated plot even worse. However, I haven't read any of the side stories, so I won't comment on them further.

   It's not that it's bad, but it's not that it's good either. It's just that I feel very unlucky after reading this book. It's clear the author has a lot of ideas, weaving a bunch of popular memes into the book, and it's also obvious the author wanted to create characters with complex personalities. However, the book's main theme completely veers off course. The synopsis suggests a simple, sweet romance, but the plot feels incredibly chaotic. First, there's the "crush" genre combined with a male-female romance; then there's the "empathic doll" element; next, the male sister has a heart condition; the relationship between the male sister and the female brother leads the female to secretly scrutinize the male sister, causing the male to distance himself from her; then, the female was falsely accused by her best friend of being 80 years old, causing her to lose her voice; then, the female isolates herself and becomes a doll; finally, the friend who falsely accused her comes to explain why she treated her that way and lets her know she's not actually dead, then she returns to human form. I'm so unlucky, all I wanted was to read a sweet romance novel.

    The number of supporting characters who like the male lead is a bit excessive for a short story.

One person borrows the car and the other leaves his ID as collateral. Later, not long after they meet, he gives his ID number to someone to book tickets.

    Curator note

    This book suffers from many common pitfalls of older novels, but they're still within my tolerance. Let me just say, it has the tired trope of the male lead inexplicably misunderstanding the female lead's confession and then leaving the country, and the later, tired trope of the female lead discovering she has difficulty conceiving and trying to distance herself from the male lead (of course... In the epilogue, the male lead still lives a happy life with a wife, children, and a warm bed...). If you can accept these two points, then this book is definitely worth a try. The female lead's efforts for her unrequited love are truly touching. After reading this, it's easy to feel sorry for this adorable girl and think that the male lead let her down and didn't deserve her unwavering devotion. Miao Miao is truly a wonderful girl.

    The story unfolds from the female lead's perspective: a secret crush comes true; from the male lead's perspective: an arranged marriage that blossoms into love. However, the female lead's past crush isn't explored in much detail; the entire story focuses on their post-marital life and the sweet moments of their love. It's a very sweet and gentle read. The two secondary couples are also interestingly designed and don't overshadow the main characters. The female lead's role as a matchmaker for her best friend gets a lot of attention, but the private interactions between the secondary couples aren't explored much. I'm really looking forward to the best friend's story and eagerly await Xiangxiang's first story!

    Curator note

    It's not really related to the theme of unrequited love; it's more like a combination of crush literature and arranged marriage. The female lead falls in love at first sight and boldly suggests marrying her brother instead. The male lead initially tolerates the child's feelings but later develops feelings for her, and the story blossoms. The whole book is basically pure sweetness. There aren't any sentimental supporting characters who pester you for several chapters. Misunderstandings and jealousy are resolved quickly. The supporting characters also have their own romantic partners, but they aren't given much attention. However, I probably wouldn't mind if they did, because they would all be quite interesting. The extra chapter about parenting is just so-so; I don't really like that kind of thing. It feels like the same old tropes. I feel like any extra chapter could just use another couple's name and it would be fine. It's too boring and unoriginal.

    I really like this piece. In the school arc, although the female lead isn't loved at home, she's still supported by a lot of love. There's always someone there to listen to her, someone who sees her warmth, and someone like Zhou Suiye who secretly writes letters to let her know she's important too. The male lead's portrayal in the school arc is heavily filtered through a romantic lens, but his actual character development isn't deep. It's like seeing him through the female lead's eyes; in her eyes, he's like a light that sometimes seems near, sometimes far, illuminating her and giving her a direction to strive for, but never truly reaching her. It's not until the reunion arc that the male lead truly sees her. He sees her compassion, her kindness, her goodness, and the story behind her eyes. He becomes curious about her and tries to get closer to her. He saw her and fell in love with her. After he truly fell in love with the female lead, she didn't immediately accept his advances. Some people might think she's a bit conflicted, but I personally like that. It's because at this point, she finally stopped seeing him as just a past girlish crush and saw him as someone she had once secretly loved. She also mustered the courage to give him the love that had once been unrealized. I also really like how she finally let go of her family of origin in the reunion episode. It's not about cutting off all contact, but rather, "I don't need the love you didn't give me, and I don't care about your belittling anymore. I will fulfill my filial duties, but I will never return to the world that trapped my younger self and that I once thought it was."

It feels like the main character is just dying without ever saying a word, and it's only near the end that we find out the female lead is a widow [huh~]. The extra chapters, in just a few pages, cover the entire life of the main story, making it a condensed version.

    Warning: Do NOT watch this if you are a virgin! You will be shocked! It's pretty good. The first chapter is already quite visually appealing, preventing readers from getting confused and losing patience. However, the setting also reveals that it's a relatively old-fashioned story. The main characters are not a couple, the male lead is honestly quite a jerk, and the female lead is a bit of a pushover. This is one of the few side stories that I found a bit tiring to read. Although the main story has a bad premise, it is written in a really engaging way. The side story's secondary couple, on the other hand, is a bit cliché. The author's pacing really suited my taste, and I've never been too concerned about the romantic past of the male and female leads. However, the author's career storyline was rather mediocre, so I chose to give it four stars. Although I did enjoy reading it, I didn't remember what they were doing in the career storyline; I was only focused on their romantic entanglements.

    The beginning was somewhat interesting, but it became increasingly chaotic as it progressed. Even at the end, the female lead remained inexplicably dead, seemingly never wanting to escape the influence of that previous relationship. She would avoid the male lead again whenever a persistent suitor appeared, and the male lead, inexplicably, continued to attract unwanted attention from the female lead. The romantic development at the end was also terribly poor. The male lead's father also inexplicably appeared and started a study abroad project, and the male lead's silence about his plans to study abroad was incredibly frustrating. It's been a long time since I've seen such a blatantly badly written, poorly written novel. Oh right, there's another big problem with this story: the male leads who secretly love the female lead are all irresponsible and attract unwanted attention, while the female villains are all brainless, clingy, and constantly trying to get the male lead or supporting male character to hurl rumors and disgust at the female lead because they can't have her. Actually, I feel that the male and female protagonists in this story are headed towards a bad ending until the very end. There are so many troubles in a relationship, and the female protagonist likes to run away at the slightest disagreement, so the problems can't be solved at all.
