Yao's Love Story

No... It's too greasy, it's making my teeth itch, ah cack cack cack...!

Personally, I think pure love is the soul of marriage transformation. Harem-style marriage transformations hardly qualify as transformations; they're more like harems. If the male lead can give his love to other women, what's the point of the transformation? Like the oldest example, the luminous pearl, and the cold-weather bird. In short, long live pure love!

Waaaaa, a new book has been released!

(On a side note, I wonder if anyone else feels the same way I do after finishing a favorite novel or an anime—a feeling of emptiness inside, as if something has been lost.) This book is really good. The author's writing is excellent, depicting a very warm and interesting slice-of-life story. (It's probably the best slice-of-life novel I've ever read.) The author's portrayal of the protagonist's changing attitude and feelings towards the male lead is gradual and not rushed. From initial indifference → caring → liking → troubled by inner conflicts → resolving inner conflicts → establishing a relationship → ** → marriage—this kind of development isn't very common, but the author's...

The female lead's personality wasn't very likable in the early stages, and the interactions between her and her teacher were poorly written; instead of a normal teacher-student relationship, they added elements that could be misunderstood or ambiguous.

Let's all think about this: where should the focus of a "reverse marriage" story lie? Is it in the "psychological transformation"? If so, the difference between a reverse marriage story and a single/multiple reverse marriage story is that reverse marriage faces the most limitations in writing (laughs). In fact, as you can see, most reverse marriage stories focus on the special heterosexual relationship between the male and female leads. To elaborate, it's about ambiguity and romance. Of course, non-romance-focused works like action novels and career novels naturally have other focuses, but for a reverse marriage story, the relationship between the male and female leads should be extremely important. And with so many conventional and basic elements like "first-person narration," "campus romance," and "childhood friend male lead,"...

Just a quick rant: the main character is so pretentious, and after a few chapters, he completely loses his masculine features. The writing style has a distinctly Japanese light novel feel, which isn't really my cup of tea. Bye!

The warm-hearted Song Yu is a breath of fresh air among the many male protagonists who are at least aloof or even domineering.

A few chapters that might discourage you from reading this (personal opinion)

This book is quite famous, and I personally highly recommend it. It's a story of friendship that blossoms into love between a depressed girl and a model of warmth and kindness. The early and middle parts are somber and depressing, but Song Yu and other lively characters always provide a bright spot. Later, it becomes heartwarming; Yi Yao can be seen as redeemed by Song Yu, and the two move towards each other. The author, Da Jun Ge, is an excellent writer with delicate prose and excellent descriptions of daily life, creating a series of vivid and likable characters. The book doesn't have much of a two-dimensional plot or references to mobile games or computer games, immersing the reader in the gentle interpersonal relationships and romance, as if savoring...
