My Irresistible Girlfriends

After finishing this book, I still wanted to write a review. This time I want to start writing from Zhang Yixi. I've thought countless times about what he, Zhang Yixi, has done to deserve so many outstanding women who fall in love with him unconditionally, like moths drawn to a flame. I wondered, what about Chen Qingyi? A fat woman suddenly appeared in my field of vision, followed by a loud slap. Before I could even react, Zhang Yixi appeared like a god, and then, very manly, chased the fat woman away. I saw a man driving frantically through the city's streets and alleys; he was always so timely. My heart relaxed. I still remembered how Tank had annoyingly left a cliffhanger; that was all I could think about then. Chen Qingyi and Zhang Yixi's story was coincidental and flawed. Flawed relationships always bring greater pain. I didn't understand why she was suffering so much. The first man had wrongly delayed her, and the second man was so unforgettable yet so irresponsible. To Chen Qingyi, I just felt that Zhang Yixi was a bastard. If he didn't love her, why did he keep giving her hope, letting her fall deeper and deeper into a wrong love, unable to extricate herself? Yes, I know Zhang Yixi didn't do anything wrong. He never wanted others to worry about him and was always so considerate and caring towards those around him. Perhaps, love really is that simple, uncontrollable. Zuo Lan, well, with just a few strokes in the text, she sketched an extraordinary first love—pure, beautiful, and reckless, that's about it. I never knew how to describe her, but I did cry. In the blink of an eye, the fragrance has dissipated, the shadow has vanished... Whenever I think of her, I always like to listen to this song, "Southern Girl." Love is just that simple, yet so profound. Lin Xi, um, I haven't even seen the diary yet when I wrote my last book review, so don't criticize me... Okay, I was wrong. To be honest, I didn't know why I didn't have any good feelings towards Lin Xi, even though I clearly agreed with her and thought she was right. She did a lot for Zhang Yixi. Last time, YY Tank said that his initial concept for Lin Xi was that she was also Zuo Lan, both representing first love. I suddenly realized that I had always considered Lin Xi as my first love as well. Well, maybe it's because she was the first character to appear as a girlfriend. Actually, the diary chapter was definitely the turning point. Before that chapter, I always thought Lin Xi was a gold digger who started to think about love after she had enough material things. But that diary told me about the pure Lin Xi and made me rethink the character. Actually, I was more afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to provide her with a comfortable material life, or even a place to live. Hehe, in the end, it's still because of my inferiority complex. Do people feel afraid because they are clear-headed? I'm always unwilling to face myself because I always know how bad I am, but I keep running away and squander my youth by using the word "decadent". Just like my brother said, college became your grave. Your youth and your dreams are buried there, and the epitaph reads, "To everyone who slanders the word 'decadent', we are all cowards." Anqi and Mo Han. Mo Han, ah, she's the person one of my brothers loves most. He always posts on social media like a mentally challenged child, writing things like, "Mo Han, I thought of you again today"; "My Mo Han, where are you?"; "Mo Han, I want to treat you to roasted sweet potatoes..." From the very beginning of the story, Mo Han descended upon us as a goddess. Zhang Yixi went from curiosity to deep love, from deep love to being unable to extricate himself, then to anxiety and insecurity, and finally to letting go. But I've always felt that Mo Han is carefree. She's very sensitive, and she never even gave Zhang Yixi a chance to explain. From meeting, getting to know each other, to becoming acquainted, she's always been so indifferent. If she likes something, she does it; if she leaves, she leaves, never explaining. Every time I see her leave, I feel like Zhang Yixi's passionate heart shatters into pieces of glass, and I hatefully curse this hateful goddess, saying she must have been sent by God to torment him. She always appears or leaves so naturally, so I don't like her, because she's too free-spirited, too aloof and unapproachable. Actually, Mo Han does love Zhang Yixi, but it's because of their different identities. After all, Mo Han's role is just an act, while An Qi's is her main profession, I stubbornly believe. An Qi is my favorite female lead, because of her domineering nature, but what I love most is the little moments between her and Zhang Yixi. They're so touching—their bickering, their playful arguments, their mutual care, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth. Zhang Yixi digging for ginger late at night, An Qi's clumsy breakfast, Zhang Yixi taking An Qi to the doctor, making medicine for her, Zhang Yixi's timely help amidst his busy schedule, An Qi delivering the order for ten cars at the auto show… They care for each other in their own ways, from petty squabbles to hysterical outbursts, yet conveying a warm feeling. I really admire Zhang Yixi's persistence here. If it weren't for his persistence, he probably would have missed out. If it weren't for his persistence, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to showcase all his talents. As the saying goes, "Heaven's movement is ever vigorous; so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement." Finally, thank you Tank for sharing this novel with us. I rarely get so engrossed in a novel. Zhang Yixi's emotional world is captivating.

(Please watch patiently, okay? Hopefully, the tank can see this.) Seeing this, I so wished there was no ending, but I deeply understand the author. It's not easy being a writer, especially an online writer. I don't need to say more, everyone knows that, but how many people understand the occupational hazards that online writers develop over time? I once longed for a platform for myself. We chose this website, this online world, to work hard on this website, to bring wonderful stories to readers, and to do our best in our job. Here, I want to say to Tank, "Thank you for your hard work." You used your time to present beautiful and exquisite written stories to us on computers and mobile phones. We share the same hobbies: listening to music and writing bring us many insights. Some things you only understand after experiencing them. We share the same dream of 'rising from the ashes' in this urban workplace novel. I sincerely admire you for writing it to this extent. Your nickname reflects my respect for you, and also proves that you are older than me; I am just a 16-year-old. I've been following your articles for a long time and have gradually become familiar with your style, but due to various reasons, including a lack of free time, it's difficult for me to join the group, for which I regret! But I've always followed your articles; they've taught me a lot, and I've learned many things from Zhang Yixi's story, such as 'because of a lack of love, everything is wrong'. Like Zhang Yixi, I have a "love without regrets"—never giving up on or regretting the person I love. He didn't hold grudges against his girlfriends Zuo Lan and Lin Xi who left him because he understood that this is a realistic society where hard work is paramount. At the beginning of the book, Zhang Yixi was a struggling urban nobody earning a living by setting up a street stall. But as time went on, he proved to everyone that he was no less capable. His rise to success encourages us to reflect on ourselves and find the reasons within ourselves. Zhang Yixi's many girlfriends initially held high hopes for him, but their feelings shifted from expectation to hope, then to disappointment, and finally to despair. This is the nature of women... My opinion on Zhang Yixi is that I like him because of his carefree attitude and his manly spirit. However, I left him because he had no expectations or pursuit of success. Lin Xi's departure dealt him a heavy blow, so he worked hard and achieved success in his career. But because of his career, his son, and his family, he lost An Qi and compromised with Chen Qingyi. His love for Pipi was far-reaching, long-lasting, warm, and comforting. Pipi is a sensible child, but he is also a child who longs for love. He has Zhang Yixi's integrity, such as his courage in fighting for female classmates, which is the true nature of a man! Ultimately, Zhang Yixi is happy. He has Anqi, who has always loved him deeply, and many beautiful women. The title of this book, "My Perfect Girlfriends Are More Than One," expresses this sentiment! Like Zhang Yixi, I have many female confidantes around me, but in China, one can only love one person out of thousands. Zhang Yixi's insights into the complexities of life have given me many perspectives and guided my direction. My heart is no longer troubled; I've come to terms with many things, and I'm no longer bothering many people. The final act of love is simply letting go. I started to beg for many things, but unfortunately I am Zhang Yixi. Although the book is close to reality, it is still a book and not reality. I am similar to Zhang Yixi, but different. The distance between the west and the north is so far. I'm a high school freshman, but I've had a lot of romantic experiences. I guess that's what they call precocious. Boys who are naturally prone to overthinking are rare, and I'm one of those oddballs. Reading the book, Zhang Yixi seemed so repressed, surrounded by an invisible aura of pressure: the pressure from Pipi, his parents, the company, Chen Qingyi… But he chose to accept it all, giving up Anqi for Chen Qingyi. Anyone who's been through relationships knows how painful it is to be with someone you don't like, how many days and nights you've spent longing for her, how much you want to get her back. But Zhang Yixi couldn't. He wasn't good at expressing his feelings, so he was very lonely in love. We applaud him for getting Angie back; any man would do the same! Many people criticize Tank for writing melodramatic stories. I want to say that if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The author's work is not easy, and although the plot may be hard to understand, you will understand it once you finish reading it. I hope this book will be even better. I wish Tank and Zhang Yixi happiness and fulfillment. There is an Angela in each of our hearts, and she will appear as long as we don't give up. — To those who have read this book and to the tank, Beibei.

Mo Han is definitely An Qi. The reason Mo Han made Yi Xi forget herself is because she wanted Yi Xi to fall in love with An Qi, believing that was her truest self. Actually, the Taoist priest's words reveal this. An Qi has gone to great lengths! Zhang Yi Xi can't let her down again.

Tank, I've been watching for so long without saying anything, but today when the prince was mentioned, I couldn't help but say a few words. I think Tank portrayed the prince as somewhat despicable. The problems between the prince, Shen Man, and Zhang Yixi are simply a choice between love and friendship. I personally feel that this issue is one of the real sources of Zhang Yixi's tragic fate. As Zhang Yixi's best friend, Wang Zi didn't act like one in this respect. Since the prince knows that Shen Man is in love with Zhang Yixi, he should honestly let it go... There's no happiness in forcing things. No matter how you write Tank now, it's very difficult to write an ending where Shen Man is devoted to the prince. At least, I feel that it's really hard to change that. Shen Man and Zhang Yixi may not have a future, but if Shen Man and Wang Zi do have a future, it can only be a tragedy. The first million words are all about Shen Man loving Zhang Yixi, and you can't write a story in a few hundred thousand words about Shen Man who can change her mind. Moreover, the prince was more at fault in this matter. Perhaps we should let the prince broaden his mind and step out of this tragedy; he is the key to Zhang Yixi's tragedy. But my thoughts are probably the same as yours... Anyway, I'm just venting.

As a communications designer, Ganzi Prefecture is my territory, and I'm extremely familiar with the 318 National Highway leading to Tibet. Although I don't know where the author stayed after entering Ganzi in this chapter, based on my long-term experience in Ganzi, the author probably stayed in Kangding on the first day (Kangding has a guesthouse called Dengba Hostel, a gathering place for backpackers), in Yajiang on the second day, and in Batang on the third day, since Litang is over 4000 meters above sea level. Zhang Yixi, being from the coast, definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand altitude sickness. Further down, the route should pass through Mangkang to Linzhi (known as the "Jiangnan of the Plateau"), and then on to Lhasa. However, Zhang Yixi didn't want to find Anqi in Lhasa, because although Lhasa is famous and the Potala Palace is a pilgrimage site for Buddhists, Anqi came to purify her soul. So where in Tibet can one purify the soul? The answer is Lhamo Latso in Shannan, which is a sacred lake in Tibet. The Legend of Lhamo Latso: Lhamo Latso means "Lake of the Soul of the Celestial Maiden" in Tibetan. Although not large in area, it holds a special place in the Tibetan Buddhist reincarnation system and is therefore highly revered by believers. Every year, before searching for the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, or other high-ranking lamas, people come here to observe the lake and seek divine guidance. From the fourth to the sixth month of the Tibetan calendar each year, many devout men and women come here on pilgrimage. It is said that different people see different things when they observe the lake at the same time, and that one can see their own future reflected in its waters. In 1509, the Second Dalai Lama, Gendun Gyatso, built the Chokyi Gyaltsen Monastery nearby, adding to the unique scenery of the plateau. Before searching for the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, or other high-ranking lamas, people come here to observe the lake and seek divine guidance. Each Dalai Lama is said to make a pilgrimage to this "sacred lake" once. It is also said that those who are destined to worship at this lake can see divine revelations about their past and future lives reflected in the water. The sacred lake is believed to reveal the future destiny of every pilgrim who visits it. By gazing devoutly into the lake, one can witness various visions of the future. The reincarnations of the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas of Tibet were determined by observing the extraordinary phenomena seen in the sacred lake, which served as a mirror for countless devout men and women to seek their own destiny. It is hoped that Zhang Yixi will follow in Anqi's footsteps from Lhasa, find Anqi at Lhamo Latso, and see his true self reflected in the sacred lake. In the lake's reflection, Anqi will be as pure as a lotus, which better matches the Anqi described by Yan Zhiyuan. After both of them have achieved spiritual purity at the sacred lake, they can go to Yumbulagang (the first palace in Tibet) in Shannan and truly entrust their lives to each other.

In the future, will there be a woman like Zuo Lan who is willing to save up living expenses with me and enjoy many sweet little moments? In the future, will there be women like Lin Xi who are willing to collect coupons and go out with me on weekends? In the future, will there be a woman like Shen Man who is willing to selflessly protect me and shield me from the wind and rain? In the future, will there be a woman like Wang Mengmeng who is willing to smile innocently at me and dream about our future? In the future, will there be a woman like Mo Han who is willing to give me warmth when I am lonely and celebrate my birthday with me? In the future, will there be a woman like Chen Qingyi who is willing to quietly accompany me and silently wait for me? In the future, will there be a woman like Angela, willing to bicker and argue with me, and stay together for a lifetime through ups and downs and warmth? The women in the book "Utopia by Candlelight" are all so outstanding, yet so heartbreaking. I think I will always remember you, and always wish you well.

I truly love this book, and I hope everyone never loses their dream of pursuing love, even though reality is full of disappointments!

For Zhang Yixi: 1. Philosophy of life: He admires Platonic love yet wants to integrate it into his life. How can ideals and reality intersect? (Zhang Yixi himself admits to being an idealist.) Only when ideals compromise with reality, and reality moves closer to ideals, can they truly converge. 2. Values: Zhang Yixi himself doesn't have much desire for money (half a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of beer a day are enough), but he wants to give his woman a better and more superior life. This leads to a contradiction: in fact, the ideal life of Zhang Yixi, as depicted by the author, is to retire from the martial arts world, free and unbound by worldly constraints (as seen in the author's reference to Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu from The Return of the Condor Heroes). In the upcoming story, will Zhang Yixi build his own "Love Ladder" in the small town? And who will be the woman who owns that "Love Ladder"? Shen Man is married, Chen Qingyi and Lin Xi have emigrated, Mo Han has left, Mengmeng has grown up and matured and is no longer infatuated, leaving only An Qi. Will it be An Qi? Only the author knows. However, I personally hope it's An Qi (because Zhang Yixi and An Qi are similar to Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min in Jin Yong's novels: "Zhang Wuji, a nobody, accidentally obtains unparalleled martial arts skills and becomes a master of the world, but after countless hardships, he sees through it all and retires." "Zhao Min is a typical rich and beautiful woman who commands a huge group, similar to Zhang Wuji, who in an unexpected struggle turns from hatred to love and finally abandons her rich and beautiful status and everything for the man she loves, retiring from public life). 3. Worldview: Zhang Yixi has a positive worldview because he is loving, sincere, and passionate towards people. He feels responsible for society and is willing to give back. (This can be seen from Zhang Yixi's establishment of the Dream Factory, his taking in Zhang Chuang, his final investment of 4 million yuan to resettle employees, and his 2 million yuan investment in an entrepreneurship competition.)

This book has been a rather frustrating read. The fact that it's been so much criticized and controversial actually proves how realistic it is. No one can accept their own imperfections, and all the criticisms are directed at things we dislike, most of which are likely our own flaws. And that's how I see this book. Ultimately, it was still too superficial. From Mo Han to An Qi, from An Qi to Lin Xi, from Lin Xi to Zuo Lan, and then from Zuo Lan to Chen Qingyi, this is the order in which I remember them. Without going into chronological order, An Qi left the deepest impression on me; she was as open and honest as a raging fire, her love passionate and unrestrained. Mo Han, on the other hand, was like a drifting duckweed, her heart adrift, going with the flow, hoping to find solace in various things. I know they are the same person; I don't know if that's true, but that's how I believe it. An Qi invested a lot of emotion in Zhang Yixi, even preparing for a do-or-die situation.

Tanks, after reading Chapter 8, are there a few small details that remind us of something? Chen Qingyi was silent for a long time before saying to me, "Yixi, let's immigrate with Pipi and leave all this turmoil behind. The money we've earned over the years is enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives." Chen Qingyi's selfishness (the later plot could be written very vividly, which would make the whole article more vibrant), regardless of whether this is what I think, first of all, thank you Tank for giving me this information. At least the perfect girlfriends are slowly returning to their rightful place. Second: I took the key out of my purse, opened the door, and instinctively held my breath. I turned on the light, but the sight before me astonished me. There wasn't a trace of decay in the room, and the table and cabinets were only covered with a thin layer of dust. I instantly realized that someone had stayed here not long ago. It was her, it must be her! Only she and I had the key to this house! Angie's persistence (and the subsequent events, combined with that year and a half of life, brought the entire story back to life) honestly moved me deeply when I read the passage above. It felt like I was back in my dating days. Thank you, Tank, too. Although I'm married now, I still cherish the power of love in this world. Love is the driving force behind everything; with love, there is a home; with love, there is hope; with love, you can have everything. Finally, Tank apologizes for the recent flurry of comments; it's simply because certain parts of the book reminded him of his younger self. Hopefully, by the time this book is finished, I'll see the greatness of love and the success of one's career. Let's end with a positive message for the readers. Actually, please don't mind the angry outbursts. Just think of it as a sign of deep love and high expectations; you're not losing a penny, after all, we're the authors. Don't leave any stain on your reputation. I hope this doesn't affect you. Finish writing this book well, and you'll be the one who wins in the end.
