   It's a free online game and online romance novel. It's not particularly outstanding, but it's worth reading if you're looking for something to read. On my second read, although I did have a crush on her for a long time, I still think the male lead is a bit of a pervert. I don't really like this kind of character. It feels like the male lead treats the female lead like prey, precisely capturing her both online and offline. However, my level of liking for a male lead with a crush is basically based on how well he handles things. So even though I only give him three stars, readers who enjoy male leads with crushes can enjoy it without worry.

   It's a pretty good story about unrequited love. The second half of the main story is a bit cliché, but the pacing and ending of the epilogue are handled very well, so the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. Part Two (reduced from four stars to three stars and then to two stars): Actually, I think the male lead is a coward. He got together with the female lead before his own psychological issues were resolved, and then he kept getting jealous of the novel's real-life counterpart. He could easily tell from a glance at the novel or the TV adaptation that the real-life counterpart was himself, but he just couldn't accept seeing the female lead's history of having feelings for someone else. He was incredibly bothered and awkward about the real-life counterpart, even though it was something that could have been resolved by watching a scene with paper airplanes in a TV drama. He kept his psychological problems a secret from the female lead and refused to be honest with her. When she finally found out, he immediately broke up with her and shut himself off! He wouldn't reply to messages or answer calls, retreating into his shell. Then suddenly he'd be willing to watch a TV drama! After watching it and discovering the real-life counterpart was himself, he was overjoyed. This guy who had been so cold towards the relationship suddenly started chasing after his wife again. He treated his friends and readers like a game, and he treated the female lead like a dog, breaking up with her without hesitation. He's really responsible! // Of course, I don't mean to praise the female lead. She's just a total idiot. She wrote a novel about unrequited love that became a hit, and her attitude towards the book suggests it's based on a real person. But hey! Our dear female lead is determined to keep it a secret from the male lead! She notices something's off about his room being like a showroom, but she doesn't realize how much he's bothered by the novel's real-life inspiration. Even though she knows the novel is a huge hit, and she's even reached a remake deal with his roommate, and that she's already with him, she pretends to be afraid he'll find out how much she's schemed to get close to him, afraid he'll think her love is too heavy. So she tries her best to keep it a secret. Finally, when she tries to surprise him with the confession, it's too late! The problems explode. After he disappears, she searches for him, and then it's revealed that the online post was written by her. Feeling incredibly embarrassed, she cowardly hides away too. Heh. I'm suddenly very curious about what I meant by "not bad" in my initial review. Where exactly did the flaws outweigh the merits? It was clearly a case of the merits outweighing the flaws.

   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 he trying to convince me of something? Is he trying to provoke 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.

   It's a good read, a little bit suffocating and a little bit bittersweet, but the balance is well-handled and doesn't get to the point of making the reader feel depressed. The "what if" storyline in the extra chapters is written very sweetly and cutely, feeling like a dreamlike perfect ending.

   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.

   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."

    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.

    In summary, it's the story of Wu Han, a fake patient who falls in love at first sight with the doctor who treats her grandfather and begins pursuing him, and Jiang Chenghuai, a divorced older neurologist. Overall, it's quite good and deserves a positive review. However, I'd like to warn you about some potential issues: the ex-wife is a psychopath who cheated on the male lead and tries every means to get back together after the divorce, and the ex-wife's grandfather is also a psychopath who desperately wants the male lead to be the one to take care of his beloved granddaughter.

    The workplace scenes weren't very well written; it's clear the author has a limited understanding of the industry.

    It's a pretty good story about a man's unrequited love for a woman. The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and can't forget her, but it doesn't give me any uncomfortable feelings. The male lead's unrequited love and even his subsequent pursuit of her gives people a comfortable and open feeling.

    Because it's a short story, the process of falling in love happens very quickly, and you might not feel the male lead's feelings at first.
