The Name of the Disease Is Love

Stop yelling, stop yelling, you're driving people crazy. There's an "if" scenario too, don't worry.

The plot ends when the junior confesses her feelings, Zhang Qian agrees, and he undergoes a slight transformation. First, let's talk about the junior: Her character was almost perfect before. Even before she liked the male lead, she would cook for him out of gratitude (it's normal to be grateful, but rare to immediately translate that gratitude into action). After being saved and falling for him, she quickly confessed her feelings. She gets jealous, flirts, is beautiful, cheerful, considerate, and doesn't throw tantrums. Once she has a foundation of affection, almost no one can resist her. Now, let's talk about the male lead: He has very strong moral principles. When he first met the female lead in high school and discovered she had suicidal thoughts, he rescued her, understood her situation, and then devoted his time and money to her. He always treated her like a younger sister and repeatedly made his feelings clear...

First, what I'm about to say might be problematic; the logic might be questionable or even fundamentally flawed. I used very absolute opinions simply for simplicity. I finished the book a while ago, so I don't remember the plot very clearly anymore. I just suddenly remembered it and wrote this review on a whim, though probably no one will read it, haha. The beginning of the story contains the possibility of the ending. Zhang Qian putting aside his own affairs to take care of Xiao Xiao—this "temporary" care is already Zhang Qian's arrogance. He believes he can shoulder other people's lives, but when faced with situations different from his preconceived notions...

Without a strong sense of responsibility and ability, and without being prepared to redeem someone, don't make promises lightly. Redemption is not a simple matter, and sympathy is not a simple excuse or motivation for redemption. What you seem to be saving might actually ruin your life and theirs. Don't forget your family, friends, or even your loved ones. There are many more people around us who need our companionship. We are all ordinary people; we don't have extraordinary abilities or abundant energy. Doing our job well is enough.

I just finished reading the last chapter and my feelings are very complicated. Putting aside the male lead's personality, the best-developed character in this work, and also the female lead in my heart, is Gu Xiaoxiao. Although she didn't end up with the male lead, her love and devotion to him are unparalleled. After reading about Gu Xiaoxiao's life, I only felt one thing… tragedy. She's like a supporting character in a third-rate tragedy, born to live a miserable life. Orphaned at a young age, she thought she would meet a man to spend her life with, but reality was far from what she hoped for. Time and again, she rekindled her hope only to be cruelly abandoned. The sweetness in the beginning felt like…

In all my years reading this, I've never seen anyone write a yandere character to death. What's the difference between this and killing off the female lead in a novel? The entire story is filled with torment of Gu Xiaoxiao (the female lead). If you're going to take care of Gu Xiaoxiao, knowing she likes you, you shouldn't be so indecisive and get involved with a random junior. Either make things clear from the start, or cut ties completely. The male lead's behavior disgusts me. The few sweet moments in the story feel like the author's handouts. It's getting increasingly nauseating. I can only say that discovering this book has truly opened my eyes. I wish the author's fate would be like Gu Xiaoxiao's—a life of hardship, never finding a good partner, and ultimately ending in tragedy...

Here's a suggestion for the author: You could write a yandere story from the perspective of a yandere. All the yandere stories on the market are the same—they're all from the male protagonist's perspective. Nobody writes from the yandere's perspective. I think this could be a breakthrough.

The female protagonist's death was abrupt, like a stray dog or cat on the street; nobody cared, and she experienced no joy whatsoever, from beginning to end. I'm unhappy in real life, so I wanted to read a book to cheer myself up, but it turned out to be disgusting.

After finishing the book, I didn't actually dislike the author's writing style; in fact, I felt a sense of acceptance. To be honest, I came expecting a sweet romance and hoped that Xiao Xiao and the male lead would end up together (I almost forgot Zhang Qian's name right after finishing the book, so I still felt a little resentful). But when the author wrote about the junior confessing and Zhang Qian accepting, I felt that Xiao Xiao's chances were slim. Perhaps it was just a gut feeling; I've read stories where the female lead ends up reconciling with the male lead, but this was the only one I felt was impossible (although I still held onto a sliver of hope until the very end). Zhang Qian making Xiao Xiao...

I'll rewatch it; I hope my heart can take it...
