   First, a heads-up: the ending features a boy, and most of the male characters are smokers (this isn't because of my rating). Also, you have to buy all the side stories before you can rate it… Three stars, not recommended. This book is too mediocre. The writing style is more like a diary entry. It's somewhat engaging at the beginning, but it's only towards the end that it becomes unclear how the male and female leads got together. Furthermore, the male lead keeps doing things the female lead isn't currently doing, and the whole book is dragged along by the issue of marriage. The female lead starts out as someone striving for her career, but after marriage and pregnancy, she becomes a stay-at-home mom. Also, the other characters are very similar; even the older women seem to like perfume. And I really don't understand, what happens if a man takes birth control pills? Women can take so many, what happens if a man takes two? The author keeps using this as a comedic device, but the underlying logic is that the author thinks men taking them would cause a fuss and make people uncomfortable. In reality, no one cares if women take them every day, even if it harms their fertility. If a man really doesn't want to get pregnant, he should get a vasectomy, not just talk about it.

2. 2 她 She Came To My Concert 她来听我的演唱会 Qiao Yao翘摇Romance319k WordsCompleted In high school, Ling Chen was the quietest student in class, always lowering his eyes and keeping to himself. The longest thing Zhu Wenshu ever said to him was the polite farewell she offered at graduation: “Wishing you all the best. Let’s keep in touch!” Ling Chen really did go on to have a bright future. He debuted to acclaim as a monster newcomer, sweeping the music charts and winning every major music award, while flowers and applause carried him into the spotlight. - People say Ling Chen’ 518.1kFavorites727kClicks/ch262.2kGifts

   This male lead only got 4 stars. If the female lead hadn't taken the initiative, the male lead would probably have ended up alone. Two crucial early developments were entirely due to the female lead's courage. The female lead is great, and being a primary school teacher is a wonderful and noble profession! The male lead is also quite funny; I felt sorry for him, even scratching the ground with his toes. Although it's from the female lead's perspective, it's as beautiful as the male lead's dream.

The original poster added: They've been married for two years, but haven't worked together on a film or TV show, appeared on a variety show together, or even interacted much on social media. They're the entertainment industry's famously contractual couple, the sort who can't even be bothered to pretend to be in love. I'm baffled that they have so many ship fans.

   A highly recommended book! It's a SC (sex) novel. The beginning is a bit slow, and because it's been written for a long time, there are quite a few insensitive female terms that might make some readers uncomfortable. However, the rest of the content is quite good. The female lead is a stubborn but incredibly kind person, and the male lead is a secret crush who's also quite skilled at creating explicit content. The variety show-like contrast is quite fun, and the drama-within-a-drama plot is also good. Worth reading. It's sweet, and I laughed out loud a lot while reading it (?ì _ í?).

   It's alright. The female lead isn't male, but the male lead is! Sometimes the author writes beautifully, and the beginnings and endings are truly touching. Some plot points are a bit cliché, like the fact that several men in the story have feelings for the female lead. The male lead, Cat Sculptor, is quite interesting; the author portrays him very well. The part where the female lead goes to heal the male lead isn't quite as well-done, and the romantic relationship develops rather quickly. Sometimes watching the male and female leads work makes me feel really tired; they only get so little sleep each day and are so busy. Also, the message is excellent! I hope more people will protect small animals, thank you!

Aside from chasing events with her camera, she spent her days calling out that fake innocent woman by her real name. Then she hit her head one day, and when she woke up, she had become Sheng Qiao.

   Warning: This content should be SC (should be explicit), features a female fangirl who transmigrates to the enemy's side, and includes derogatory terms. The writing style of "The Ultimate Fantasy of a Fangirl [Glasses]" is generally average, but it does a good job of describing many details from variety shows. The author could work as an editor or program planner for variety shows, as variety show design is quite interesting. The story features a lot of scenes from filming and variety shows; the romance portion is adequate, not lacking but not excessive either. There are some points that might bother you. The original body didn't seem bad, yet it just disappeared? It's understandable that the female lead loves her parents after transmigrating, but her love for the original mother is only secondary; the original mother doesn't notice her daughter has changed. It's a bit scary, mainly because it's too much like a novel. The original body has changed so much, and only a former movie star notices. The plot builds up at the beginning, making you think the former movie star will do something, but nothing happens. If you don't mind this, you can continue reading. I noticed it later on, and it's actually a bit of a jarring point. I used to criticize the original female lead, but then I transmigrated into her and fell in love with my idol [please!].

   Curator note

   Both the male and female leads are stoic (sexless), and the female lead has an ex. This is the author's own warning, no spoilers. What touched me most about this book was actually the epilogue, "Teacher Chen." It's short but incredibly powerful, and reads somewhat like Liu Cixin's "The Rural Teacher." The main text is actually quite simple and unpretentious, starting with a pure, simple, and slightly humorous style, while later it gradually becomes an intersection of reality and ideals. The female lead, Ningning, is a type of woman I really like. She has her own beliefs and pursuits, and possesses a strong, almost "Mother Earth" vitality. The male lead, 33, also consistently describes her as a mother elephant. 33 Is the more "delicate" type, and Ningning often takes care of his emotions and feelings, yet the two share a natural understanding and have a strong sense of "family" since they first became acquainted in the village. Overall, this book is a good read, and the characters all have their own character arcs. Ningning almost couldn't escape that mountain village, and 33 almost stayed in high school forever. In addition, the ensemble cast of high school students and the family parts are also very well written. However, I had a noticeable feeling while reading: the author seemed to want to say too much, and the writing wasn't concise enough. In some places, a single, succinct sentence could have conveyed the emotion, but the author would fill an entire page with the same sentiment. This really affected my reading experience. There were many parts that could easily move me, even bring me to tears, but my emotions were often scattered in the process. Perhaps it's because I have high expectations for emotional impact. Furthermore, the romantic feelings between the two characters don't actually constitute a large portion of the book's overall theme. This is especially true in the third volume, which is largely dedicated to poverty alleviation. Readers who are looking for a strong romance might want to reconsider. Another place that's entirely my personal preference. The early Ningning was very "primitive." Her connection with the mountains and nature was very direct: using a bow, climbing mountains, picking fruit, living in the mountains, helping the barber chase thieves, and running around chasing thieves for a long time after arriving in Beijing. It was all intuitive living. When 33 first appeared, she was using an oxcart like a tyrant, letting her grandfather, the sheep, and the children get on the cart. But after she went to the city, started learning, and entered society, this part of her life gradually faded away. Although she still lives in the countryside, because the times, her age, and the responsibilities she bears have changed, her relationship with nature has also changed. I feel that she might now be the kind of person who lets everyone get on the bus while she gets off. I know this is actually a natural part of a character's growth, and it's not that she shouldn't have gone out into the world. It's just that I personally feel a little regretful.

   4 Stars. The storyline is complete, following the protagonist's journey of making money, leveling up, and fighting monsters after transmigrating. The ensemble cast is very interesting; as some reviews have mentioned, each character has a well-developed backstory. The female lead finds warmth in this other world, as does the male lead. I really liked the characters of the senior sister and senior brother. Old Shen is unlucky and cunning, talkative but also very clean-cut, while the junior sister has found a career she loves. The little fox, little turtle, and little horse are also very cute. The romance felt rather weak; it seemed to develop too quickly, with the characters kissing and sleeping together almost too fast. The emotional aspects were too brief to develop, and the characters didn't offer much mutual support. The author relied on descriptions of their deep understanding and eye contact to build their relationship, but this felt thin because there weren't any significant events to develop it. Later on, aside from the extensive portrayal of the senior brothers' sword cultivation, the female lead's weapon cultivation and the male lead's healing cultivation didn't feature the same transformable alchemy furnaces as in the beginning. It felt like the later parts rushed through the plot, losing many interesting elements. The writing style also suffered. The Star Moon Divine Tree level was relatively enjoyable. Besides, the villains are all rather one-dimensional, purely evil. I got tired of reading the later parts; they kept attacking the original male protagonist but couldn't kill him. It was really tiring to read.

   I got bored after reading 30-something chapters, but I bought the whole book from the start... I persevered and read it all so as not to waste my money. First of all, the plot is very scattered, and the characters are very flat with little development. The same goes for the male and female leads; the ambiguous and entangled feelings weren't really explored, and overall, the writing wasn't very sophisticated.

   Curator note

   The beginning was written too quickly, showing how fast the two fell in love, even though it's a short story. However, the later part, where the female lead single-handedly rescues the male lead, felt too slow, and it was really hard to understand how someone who had just gained legs and was still struggling to walk could sneak into the place where the female lead was imprisoned without being discovered in front of so many people... Overall, it's not bad, a love story between a human and a mermaid. The gibberish feel was stronger in the beginning and weaker later on.

    It's pretty good, no major flaws. It's a reporter x a male athlete. If you just want a simple, sweet romance, this is the book. The writing isn't overly elaborate or complicated; it flows smoothly overall. It's not a high-octane competition story, just a pure romance. The characters are well-developed; Jiang Tang becomes much braver as an adult, and Chen Yang, you were quite pretentious at first, haha. If you have high expectations for the plot, this isn't for you; the premise isn't particularly original. While both the male and female leads have successful careers, their professional achievements and charm, as well as the female lead's ability to interview the male lead's team, aren't really showcased well.

    Curator note

    It's a very well-written book. I especially remember the scene with the streetlights when Bo Li went back in time. It was very special! However, the book didn't really resonate with me, so I couldn't get into the story while reading, and I couldn't fully immerse myself in the reading experience. I think this book is quite selective in its readership. If you particularly like male and female leads who are a bit eccentric, like a sadistic monster, this book might be suitable for you. But if you're not particularly interested in that kind of thing, this book falls short. The characters are all well-written, but because I don't like this kind of content, I found their love complicated. The male lead isn't good at expressing himself, and the two of them aren't really on the same wavelength, even though the ending is happy. Also, their similar fetishes are a bit dangerous, somewhat like S/M.

    Finally finished reading... I wouldn't really recommend this novel... First of all, I felt the book was quite male-centric, which made the male lead more likable. Then, the way the author sits and writes the characters and plot makes him seem silly. He's supposed to be a smart and capable man, but he's written so erratically, suddenly going crazy and getting angry for no reason... Ugh... The reconciliation between the two is also very strange... Although I know the author foreshadowed the female lead's feelings for the male lead, I don't think the foreshadowing was successful; it felt abrupt... And the male lead smokes... The author writes a lot about the female lead's career, seemingly trying to establish her as an independent female lead, but in reality, the male lead often comes to her rescue. Most importantly, the writing is mediocre... I'm the kind of person who tries not to give up once I start reading, but after finishing it, I want to say, don't read it; I felt it was a waste of my time.

    Curator note

    SC, I found this book very tiring to read and wouldn't highly recommend it. I simply couldn't stand the male lead. If the female lead hadn't liked him, he would have been long gone, and he didn't contribute anything. It was only towards the end that he became somewhat more like a normal person in a relationship. It was incredibly frustrating to read. Although it's constantly mentioned that he's a young master with some personality flaws, honestly, at the beginning, I really didn't see any charm in him. The female lead liked him only because he was handsome; he wasn't particularly kind to her or understood her. On the contrary, the female lead was a very intelligent and charming person. However, I still managed to finish it because I didn't enjoy reading it halfway through. Another reason is that I'm not particularly fond of foreign names or foreign romances. I actually really liked the "Before" trilogy; I thought it was very romantic and poetic. But in this book, I didn't see any poetic writing style; it was quite painful to read. The author didn't portray the pain beautifully or the complexities of love and hate, and the characters lacked depth. I also understand the female lead; she didn't feel the male lead's love for her during their separations. She truly embodies the character the author portrays—someone with strong personal principles. Every time, regardless of the situation, it's always the female lead who takes the initiative and decides to stick to what she believes in. She won't give up something for love. I feel sorry for the female lead because I think she deserves someone better. The male lead only makes her sadder when she's sad, and he can't share her happiness when she's happy. The "soulmate" aspect is entirely fabricated; it's the author forcing the two to become a couple, without touching on the underlying logic of their characters.

    Wow, I've read four of this author's works already! I think they're all pretty good. This one is pseudo-skeletal. There's definitely a lot of explicit content; it feels like it starts smutting again after just a few lines. The female lead's transformation isn't natural enough; she faces a lot of difficulties at the beginning, but everything suddenly falls apart after they meet again. The male lead definitely has a strong daddy vibe. But compared to some other authors, he's still a bit weaker.

    After reading Li Yuanyuan's post, I became curious about the author's other works and plan to read them all. This book is less angsty than *Fengyue Di* (The Land of Love and Lust). Actually, *Fengyue Di* isn't exactly angsty; it has a happy ending, but many parts of it were just too painful for me. However, this book also has some parts that make you feel the female lead is particularly pitiful, perhaps due to changes in her family, which left her all alone in the end. Fortunately, there isn't much description of their separation before they reunite and things turn out well. *Fengyue Di* involves several separations and reunions. Overall, it's quite good. A few things to watch out for: the male lead smokes even though he has a wife and kids, and if you can't accept that kind of content, don't read it. What I really like about this author is that the female leads all have their own aspirations and are very studious!

I feel there's not much romance, although it's quite gloomy, there's not much actual action. The way he expresses love is just by shouting slogans, without much concrete action. The character's charm isn't enhanced by any actual actions; it's mostly based on the author's initial character setup. Maybe people who like crime-solving stories can watch it?

    This book is so long. I don't know why, even though I've read quite a few books with 400,000 or 500,000 words, this one took me way too long. Towards the end, I really didn't remember much of what happened in the beginning. The male and female leads got very clingy towards the end. What I didn't like was that the male and female leads broke up and got back together several times in the middle; one left and then came back, the other left and then came back... The female protagonist transmigrates into a book, where the system is chaotic. She and the male protagonist are constantly flirting (neither of them realizes it), and she has to listen to the system to seduce the original male protagonist. At first, the system forced her, but then the system's force disappeared, and the story went down a different path. Anyway, it feels like this world has some bugs, and the system's abilities also have some bugs. The writing is decent, but the overall reading experience was quite tiring. I'd give it 4 stars.

Fortunately, it's not very long; there were times when I felt it was too boring and wanted to give up, but I still finished it. [Glasses] Both the male and female leads are very good. The female lead has loving parents. Because she met a wandering fortune teller, Mr. M, when she was young and he said she wouldn't live past 20, she was treated as having a serious illness.

It feels like some foreshadowing was planted, but there's not much plot development later. In the early part, the female lead's parents dream of another life or a previous life, but this dream isn't explained later. Many characters appear only briefly and don't have much impact on the plot. The romance between the two leads is also rather thin. [Please!]

    Curator note

    Overall, recommended. The plot is indeed a bit drawn out, and both the male and female leads are relatively reserved, breaking up due to a misunderstanding and then getting back together. The male lead felt a bit out of character later on; after being so cold for eight months, he suddenly became enthusiastic (although there's a plot explanation, it still felt strange). The female lead's personal charm wasn't particularly outstanding; she's mainly pretty, a dancer, and persistent, but she's initially introverted, only opening up because of the male lead. The male lead is genuinely arrogant. He has a domineering CEO vibe, and his genius isn't portrayed as incredibly brilliant [glasses][please]. The characters don't feel very distinct; for example, the couple in the side stories sometimes sound very similar to the female lead in their speech. However, this entertainment industry novel isn't really set in the mainstream entertainment industry; it's more of a marginal one. The absence of a villainous female supporting character is quite a plus.

    It's a good read. Although it has a happy ending, there's a subtle sadness throughout. The female lead has multiple reincarnations, and there are indeed kind-hearted gods always around her. The male lead is also a very good person. The two are brought together by special circumstances, and I really hope they find happiness. The story is short, not enough! Some of the plot twists feel a bit forced, and some character development is rather superficial, but it often leaves me feeling empty inside.

    Cute little mushroom heiress Ranran vs. Insecure 189cm tall, motherly senior, two yuan for mutual unrequited love. Overall, I recommend it. It's short, and some of the plot points feel a bit forced. I didn't like the second male lead's character, and the sibling strategist dynamic was minimal in the overall storyline. Also, the suspense and unexpected twists felt contrived. The PE teacher and the other two henchmen weren't explored much, especially the PE teacher—it's unclear how he even got involved. However, much of the content reminded me of a fungal mushroom anime I watched called "Common Side Effects," though the purpose is different. It's also quite enjoyable. This book has a kind of psychedelic quality, like eating mushrooms—it's inexplicably strange. The other brother and sister pair is also great! The side story can be read like another short story, and the author's notes include a lot of extra content. Highly recommended! ^ ^

    This book is quite good. But it's strange that many times I recognize the words, but I just can't quite get them into my head. It's quite difficult to read. Especially the process of d (sexual intercourse), which is described in great detail, spanning several pages, but I still can't understand it at all. I don't know if it's because I lack experience, but after reading so many stories, I don't feel like I lack knowledge (?ì _ í?). This sometimes makes me feel that the content is too long and boring. Also, I was a little confused at the beginning. The male and female protagonists are supposed to be virgins, but the first time felt very smooth, so I couldn't even tell if they actually d (sexual intercourse). Logically, there should be some exploration or emotional change between them, but it just felt very smooth. (?ì _ í?) The story can be divided into three parts. The first stage mainly involves completing academy tasks, culminating in the introduction of the book's boss at the Floating Life Mirror. The second stage follows the male and female protagonists' journey to the Ghost City, and the third stage is the battle against the final boss. Throughout the story, the male and female protagonists' feelings for each other gradually develop, culminating in a happy ending. I quite liked several of the side couples, including the young master Long and the senior brothers and sisters. Overall, I would recommend it.

    The female lead is not the male lead. The scenes where the female and male leads are together are quite good. The part where the ex-husband comes back and the female lead goes back to her hometown and the male lead goes there is a bit boring. It's not until the female lead goes on a business trip to the factory and meets her ex-husband again, and the male lead goes there the next day, that things get good again. The female lead was initially a bit naive and clueless, genuinely acting like the male lead's mother, haha. The male lead was also quite unique, lacking maternal love and having a strong oral sex drive. This pairing was quite appealing. There was no coercion; the female lead herself felt it was a natural progression. However, her love for the male lead wasn't explicitly stated; she gradually fell in love. Then, in the middle, the female lead felt the male lead didn't love her enough, as he didn't hold her during sex, while the male lead felt she loved him deeply. The author mentioned this but didn't elaborate on the subsequent changes. How did the male and female leads take things further? No, it was just another round of suggestive sex. So, it felt a bit disappointing. I cried while reading the extra episode from the daughter's perspective; it was so touching.

    The author's plot and character development are excellent, though the writing style is a bit weak. There are relatively few villains; the focus is mainly on their daily interactions and the female lead's emotional changes within those interactions. Since the male lead is a very good person, it's not surprising that the female lead falls for him. A book to pass the time when you're bored. 3.5 Stars

    It's so romantic to meet your crush while traveling; it makes you bolder because there's a feeling that the trip will end when it's over. The male lead's introverted nature isn't quite shown enough, but since it's from the female lead's perspective, it's understandable that some of that is overlooked. The female lead is a bold yet sensitive girl with a strong sense of life, as seen in her chasing after the different sunsets each day. A good bedtime read! However, some of the things the two do might seem a bit ordinary; personally, I don't think it's a particularly special design that fits the opening and the bucket list perfectly.

    The opening was exceptionally well-written, with a strong Hong Kong drama feel. The environmental descriptions often perfectly matched the characters' inner thoughts, creating a very effective atmosphere. The initial plot design was also excellent. However, it started to falter a bit towards the end. The second male lead's appearances felt somewhat forced and awkward, although the deliberate attempts to develop the relationship between the female and male leads were actually quite good. I was hoping for more developments in the narrative, such as changes in the male lead's social standing, but unfortunately, there weren't any; he remained in a relatively high and mighty position throughout. The ending was quite clever (for the first time). The epilogues were rather long; I stopped reading after reaching the "what if" storyline, finding it too tedious. However, the author did a very good job of portraying each character's personality distinctly. [Please!] Thank you, author!

    I got too lazy to read beyond the second side story. First, a heads-up: the male and female leads are locked in a relationship; any interaction between them would be considered abuse of the other's partner (the author even wrote this in the story). It's a clean break story, but the two of them kiss and have sex without any clear explanation... It's okay for mindless reading. If you treat this book as an erotica, I'd give it four or five stars. If you treat it as a normal romance, I'd give it two stars. First, regarding the character settings, you can feel the author's effort to portray the women as very independent and self-reliant—the lawyer mother who refuses to compromise for marriage, the female lead's ambition to become a lawyer and her love of learning, and the male lead's grandmother's status as a renowned doctor. However, the awkward thing is that these aren't integrated into the plot. These identities are merely settings, playing no role in the story; you just see them briefly, "Oh, that's impressive," and that's it. Another issue is the male lead. He could have been very charming if written well, but he comes across as pretentious, always describing himself as lazy, yet not genuinely lazy, just feigning laziness. The "please" parts feel very superficial. In terms of plot, I basically had to swallow the erotica while also enjoying the other parts—the "please" parts were like a dry pancake, and the erotica were the filling. The erotica parts weren't even particularly well-written, which is the strange thing about this article—it wasn't explicitly stated, yet it seemed very clear... I feel like the author is somewhere else entirely, haha. In conclusion, if you're interested in the explicit content, then read it; if you're interested in the plot, then don't. I'm only reading the whole thing because of the explicit content [please!]. Thank you, author.

    I rarely read historical romance novels, but I started reading them after seeing a comment that said I was grateful to have met the male and female leads. It's really well-written, with a strong plot and well-developed characters. Although it depicts everyday life, it's never boring, and the plot progresses steadily without feeling like it's just random writing. However, there are definitely a lot of silly moments. The female lead isn't the pampered type; she's more like a comforting presence, like Nangong Wenya. The male lead is also very protective and gentle with her, almost like a male mother. It's truly a mutual love story. The other characters are also very well-developed, making it a very enjoyable read.

The female protagonist lost her brother and was neglected by her parents, while the male protagonist discovered his parents' infidelity. They essentially redeem each other, supporting each other through difficult times. However, the writing style is rather average, perhaps because it's a niche genre?

I hope she finds someone better, but what can I do when A-Hui loves the third son? The plot is indeed a bit more mundane, focusing more on the everyday family life from A-Hui's perspective.

    Please update with an "if"! Extra chapters will deduct points (but extra chapters don't count). I finished this book without even realizing it. I was initially hesitant about the film/TV adaptation, but it turned out to be really good. The two characters in the film and TV series feel completely different from each other. Fang Muyang is truly a wonderful male lead for a period drama—artistic, capable, and with a great physique. I love the female lead. Despite the harsh environment, her family treats her well; she's a little girl who grew up surrounded by love. And she's incredibly ambitious! She really wants to improve! So adorable. A very unique female lead indeed. To be honest, the older sister and brother-in-law in the TV series were so charming that I was really looking forward to reading it. But after reading it, I found it so boring. They were just two people who never spoke, and there wasn't the same sexual tension or chemistry as in the show. I even thought it would have been better if they hadn't ended up together; it felt too forced. The forced happy ending just didn't feel right with the previous development. Ni and Fang were so much more endearing!

    It's so good! This novel is special because it's different from ordinary romance novels; it's very literary. The descriptions of many scenes are very interesting: Russia, Nanshi, Beijing. The cave in Nanshi impressed me the most; reading the text felt like watching an art film. The plot of Nanshi has that kind of feel that independent electronic music town literature loves, and the Russian parts reminded me of many Russian films. Both the male and female leads are great. What's particularly frustrating about this story is the person who reported it, and some of the negative comments about the female lead. I actually think the development of the relationship between the male and female leads is very realistic, not the kind of forced angst that some comments suggest. Anyway, I've become a fan of the author; it's exceptionally well-written. Very poetic and romantic. It would be even better if there were more scenes involving poetry later on.

    My feelings about this book are complicated. Some of the dialogue in the early chapters was a bit awkward, but the back-and-forth between the female lead and the male lead as she gradually won him over was exceptionally well-written. The later part, where the male lead's true identity is revealed and he pursues the female lead again, is very brief, and they reconcile. The perspective shifts away from the earlier focus on the female lead's struggles as a wealthy woman. It becomes somewhat underwhelming and unremarkable. The male lead isn't as charismatic as the female lead. Additionally, numerous minor typos detract from the reading experience.

    Stunning! 1. The premise is excellent. The male lead is initially quite android-like in his relationship with an AI, making them a perfect match! He gradually falls in love with the female lead, allowing her to slowly "train" him! This actually mirrors real-life relationships; the biggest mistake is a lack of communication. The female lead, when unhappy, immediately turns to the "AI" to vent her anger. Each update to the premise actually reveals the female lead's preferences, allowing the male lead to avoid guessing. 2. The plot was really well-written. I still remember the scene where the female lead told the male lead that she was afraid she would fall in love with a real LBT if she continued using it. That scene instantly transported me to a Taiwanese drama. The female lead had previously asked the male lead to play a lewd man, and the male lead, who happened to be learning that trope, kept replying to her messages. His persistent questioning led her to reveal the truth. They were separated by a wall, and at that time, they weren't actually together yet. It's not actually a very strong plot device, but it's written with such captivating charm! The extra chapter about the ring really taught me something—author, how am I ever going to get married after this?! I'm the famous (I forgot the rest) person in our village! Please, just stay happy forever! I beg you!

    Haha, I prefer the male lead in the side stories; he feels more alive. As for the main story, I feel it's neither good nor bad, nothing special.

    I felt like my life collapsed after we got together... The tension at the beginning was so wonderful, and it was very well written. They ended up together, and maybe I have a bias... A director who won a Cannes Film Festival documentary award would inexplicably be a wedding photographer for his girlfriend's friend? And he even won an award at the Venice Film Festival? It's incredibly... Jarring. And just considering the disrespect shown during filming and the 200 RMB red envelope offered afterward, the fact that the female lead is friends with such a weirdo... Made me frown. After they started dating, I really couldn't continue watching, so I rushed through it. And every time I mention watching his films, oh dear, his documentary identity is so superficial, it feels like a tool. I didn't actually see the male lead showing much interest in movies or documentaries... F-teacher is only charming on the phone. It really feels like he's written by a completely different author after "The Temple."

In 2023, Wang Luxi got into her dream university in Beijing. She went a month early, planning to see every tourist attraction in the city. What could she do? As an ancient capital and the nation’s capital, Beijing had far too many things that interested her. The spring at Taoranting, summer at Shichahai, autumn at the Temple of Heaven, and winter snow swirling around the Forbidden City’s corner towers. Oh 100.9kFavorites113kClicks/ch72.7kGifts

    It's very short, set in Beijing. Now I finally understand why other novels need to change the city names to Beiping or something. The opening scene at the Capital Airport already made me a little nervous, haha. The female lead is quite cute, and the male lead is alright too, but it's a bit of a mindless sweet romance. I was reminded of something I saw today where someone said they always felt these kinds of modern romance stories were a bit like childish flirting. Since they didn't depict them growing old, I always felt they'd separate or something. This story gave me the feeling that the girl was only in college, and the male lead had spent two years studying abroad, which, as the comments said, meant they were at an age where they understood each other. But actually, it was quite interesting; I kept smiling. Also, I didn't understand the part where someone else held an umbrella for the female lead, and the male lead saw it and seemed like he was going to write something, but then nothing happened and it ended.

    Curator note

    It's a lightly sweet entertainment industry novel, without any melodramatic plot twists. However, the characters feel rather unrealistic. The early part of the book, written from a first-person autobiographical perspective, is excellent, portraying the female lead with great detail and charm. But it falls short when it switches to third-person, becoming rather ordinary. Also, the 19-year-old male lead feels a bit immature; 23x26 ​​might have been better. Personally, I don't find the male lead very charming; he's not particularly attentive or caring towards the female lead, and he's often quite childish. His strengths seem to be all external—his family background and good looks. The novel lacks depth in its character development and acting, making it difficult to see any real merits. The female lead deserves better.

    [Doge] This is a sweet little novel worth reading, but it's quite different from reality. Normally, encountering a shop like this would be terrifying, haha. In the novel, if it's delicious, just eat it! The plot is short, but the premise is quite interesting. From the moment two people meet to when they get together, it goes pretty fast. [Pity]
