   Curator note

   The main story is very engaging, but the amnesia trope in the epilogue is a letdown. One instance of amnesia is fun, but multiple instances just feel like NTR to me.

2. 2 偷EN Secretly, Secretly, Unable to Hide It 偷偷藏不住 Zhu Yi竹已Romance372k WordsCompleted ※The print edition has been published and is available on all platforms =v= When Sang Zhi was thirteen, she secretly fell in love with a man. He was cool and languid, with a devil-may-care way of talking. He often came to her house and spent the whole afternoon curled up in her older brother's room playing video games. Sometimes she came in with fruit or snacks. He would lift his eyes lazily and grin like a devil. “Kid, what's the matter with you? Why do you blush every time you see me?” *Devi 1.9MFavorites2.4MClicks/ch1MGifts

   I didn't understand why it was so popular before, but now I completely get it. It's a miracle that a male lead in *You Are the Apple of My Eye* isn't a domineering CEO, a yandere, a creepy ghost, or a younger, cuddly guy, and is a gentle, cunning fox-like man with no mental issues [question mark]. The female lead also breaks away from the typical obedient woman trope; she has a happy and fulfilling family life, no broken home, and no terminally ill grandmother. We can only hope they're a sweet and beautiful couple [lol] 🧋

And certainly not to get involved with Jiang Ren, the boy she'd feared for so long. B 1.6MFavorites1.9MClicks/ch491.8kGifts

   The male lead gives off a strong sense of security. He burned his leg while saving the female lead from a fire, and despite becoming lame, he didn't give up but instead started a business from scratch, ultimately winning her heart.

   There are too many flaws. The female lead, in order to get revenge on her mother, hooks up with the son of her mother's current sugar daddy—who came up with that? It's a sweet story where the broken mirror is mended later on.

   The main story is very engaging. The powerful and ruthless Jiao Jiao encounters the lazy and unambitious Yan Yan, and their three-life romance begins. Vampire side story with slight angst, school side story - please do not read! Overall, Yan Yan is pampered and spoiled, a devoted and obedient girl.

   It's great! I was initially drawn in by the manga's art style, but then I discovered the novel itself is also incredibly good 😍

   Putting aside all the controversy, I didn't actually like it that much. The plot was good, but I didn't like the characters.

    Curator note

    The fact that the male and female leads quickly talk things out after meeting, without leaving any lingering resentment, is commendable. The female lead is also willing to take action for the male lead and get him a mediation agreement. Emotionally, there is a lot of male pampering and male love, but it's better than the male taking 99 steps and the female taking 1 step back. This book is more like the male taking 77 steps and the female taking 23 steps back.

    The plot is well-developed and follows the basic logic of campus romance novels. The male and female leads are so normal that I wondered if I was even reading a campus romance novel. The male lead is very charming and unique, with maximum youthful energy. The female lead's self-recruitment for the sake of the male lead is very touching; she's a very determined female lead.

    The main story has a sweet tone, but the part about the female lead switching to special education gave me PTSD.

    The ducks and pigs are so cute! The plot and love story were so dramatic, it brought tears to my eyes. It's really good! Cons: Too much screen time was given to Fu Gou later on; this guy was so disgusting, it made me want to vomit!
