I never imagined that the powerful man would find his wife through a single meeting, and then he would gradually elevate her, giving the intelligent female lead the confidence to become his wife. He would indulge her, cherish her, guide her, and be devoted to her until they fell in love! This man seems like the perfect man; we can't meet him in real life, so let's make up for it in novels!
The story revolves around Liang Weining, a female protagonist fresh out of university and entering the workforce, and Chen Jingyuan, a top-tier male protagonist in Hong Kong. Their initial encounter is accidental, after which they have no further contact until Liang Weining graduates and seeks employment, leading to their reunion. I want to tell the author that I want to see stories about Gu Yunzhen and Zhou Shixu; their side stories are too short. Also, I'm wondering if there will be a story between Meng Xingzhi and his foster "niece." I think two separate books on this theme would be just as good. The author's writing is excellent, avoiding the absurd plot points or ridiculous settings often found in CEO romance novels. It easily surpasses 99.5% Of similar books on the platform. The entire book is genuinely sweet and doting; the male lead resolves problems and arranges many things, especially showing respect for the female lead's marriage and family. It's safe to say this kind of man only exists in books. There are no truly villainous supporting characters, and the parents and elders in each family are all very open-minded and kind. The female lead is hardworking and capable, and the male lead gives her 100% respect and support at work (supporting, guaranteeing, and guiding her). He is possessive but never objectifies her. Because of this, in the middle of the story, the female lead seems arrogant and complacent, acting unilaterally and without consulting the male lead several times. In her eyes, she can use private methods to change the male lead's decisions and comply with her wishes, but the male lead cannot change her thoughts and decisions or do things she doesn't want to do just because they are a couple. The story describes a female lead who doesn't want to depend on the male lead, but is fortunate enough to be hired as the general secretary by a mentor who appreciates her abilities, nurtures, supports, guides, and guarantees her success. However, it's understandable that her life has been too smooth, lacking experience and challenges, leading to this mindset. Because it's a short story, the focus is more on her decision-making at crucial moments, without showing the details of the process, which makes the female lead seem somewhat overly privileged. After all, the idea of her becoming the general secretary of a multinational corporation at 22 after graduating with a bachelor's degree, and then rising to director, supervisor, and vice president within two or three years, seems idealistic. But it doesn't affect the visual appeal; it's still beautiful.
It's alright. There aren't any melodramatic plot points; it's mostly a sweet story with a decent plot. I disliked the female lead's character development later on, and the protagonist's halo was too obvious. Also, everyone in the story seems to be deliberately cryptic, acting all profound. They only say a few words at a time, and even then, they're incredibly roundabout, everything is implied, alluding, and guessing.
It's really, really good, much better than romance novels.
It's exceptionally beautiful, over 95%
It's a very good show. The male lead's quiet dedication and the female lead's wonderful qualities make it even better. Why are there so few comments and low ratings?
Yes, the content is very realistic, not melodramatic, and the emotions develop gradually.
It's a great read, with a compelling blend of career and romance that builds layer by layer, keeping you on the edge of your seat. The older character supports the younger one in love until they finally stand side by side. From meeting and falling in love to marriage and having children, it's a very fulfilling story. The author's writing is truly excellent; I read every chapter to the end without skipping a single one. Five stars!
The storyline is really engaging, but the writing is too convoluted and disjointed. Too many adjectives actually hinder the reading experience, and many parts are unclear and tiring to read, requiring a lot of guesswork. Also, the entire book revolves around the male and female leads and their work; adding more about their friendship would have been much better. I suggest releasing a new version featuring Zhou Shenxu and her best friend; it's quite good.
The theme is poignant, and the writing is good. However, the male lead seems to respect the female lead but is constantly forcing himself on her, while the female lead appears to be attracted but is actually indifferent. I really like the stubborn and hardworking female lead, but I don't see her affection for the male lead. Some of the plot developments are illogical. Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to the author's next work.
