I'm a long-time fan of the author; I've read all their books, and every single one is fantastic. This book is about the older brother's story, which was actually mentioned in the previous book. I was really looking forward to reading Lu Chengzhou's story then, and I can't believe it's actually out!! The book also mentions Lu Qichuan and Cheng Jinhe, which feels really familiar!

Overall, the story is enjoyable. Since the author claims it's about the second male lead taking over, then Jiang can be considered the male lead. The male lead deeply loves the female lead, but due to his own reasons, he has to pretend to fall for his best friend and abandon her. (A cliché plot.) I find this very unreasonable. If he truly loves her, why hurt her like this?

I genuinely think the final epilogue was really good; it was even better than the main story. The family ended up happy and joyful, which was so heartwarming and brought tears to my eyes. (* /∇\*) I think Qingqing is a gentle yet strong girl, not just resilient, but also strong. She knows what to give up, understands her own desires, and is firm in her goals.

Nice

"You told me your relationship is broken." "But if you're not by my side, my emotions are incomplete." "I am a cold-hearted person by nature, but I have endless passion in front of you." "Nan Qing, I really, really want to be with you." Lu Chengzhou: "I will not miss any of your performances." Some discard me like weeds, while others cherish me like a treasure. "

Well, to be honest, I read Qi Chuan's book and then immediately started reading this one. I personally prefer the style and characters of Qi Chuan's. This one didn't have anything particularly memorable for me. The most memorable part was actually the extra chapters about the whole family—can you believe it? Liang Liang's mother and Lin Shu both seemed so pitiful.

The male leads are all great, and every character is so vivid. The second male lead is so pitiful; if only he hadn't suffered from heart failure, if only he could have lived to be a hundred, he and the female lead would have been a perfect match. I feel so sorry for him, I'm going to cry so much. Mother Liang went to another world first to wait for her son, and he had no idea 😭.

The logic is flawed, the plot is bland, and while it's supposed to be a story about unrequited love, it lacks any highlights. The second male lead's rise to power is merely a favor bestowed upon him by the first male lead due to his own actions. Therefore, the second male lead's unrequited love is rendered worthless by the first male lead's magnanimity. This situation puts the female lead in a very passive position, and everything that seems so natural feels illogical.

It's pretty good. The only downside is that the female lead didn't realize sooner that the male lead loved her very, very much.

The author's writing is excellent; I love the style of this book and the male protagonist's delicate and gentle nature.
