You're Not as Pretty as Me, Yet You Want to Be My Wife? Do You Even Deserve It?

Genre: Slow-burn, crossdressing/pseudo-yuri light novel. Subjective review: Not perfect, but excellent, very well-made. Reason: Only this book gave me the feeling of "Dream of the Red Chamber." After reading this book, other light novels felt bland. Objective and dialectical analysis: Strengths: The characters' psychology and appearance are portrayed delicately (so good it's ridiculous, so ridiculously good). The male lead is very three-dimensional and well-developed (no white lotus, finally a normal male lead in crossdressing novels). Thoughtful innovation, even old tropes are given a fresh twist (after reading the article, you can see the author's dedication to innovation, slow and meticulous work, and the true wisdom in the details). The plot is intricate...

Regarding the protagonist's handling of Su Qi'er, from Su Qi'er's perspective: "If I was wrong first, I will apologize and correct myself. But matters of the heart can't be resolved with just an apology. With repeated unusual behavior, the rift in the relationship will only grow. But after trying to understand, I'm dumped, and the other person even says it was all just for fun (excitement!). I can't stand it, regardless of gender. Even a clay figure has some temper. Forget contacting you, I'd be lucky if I could refrain from hitting you. That's truly idiotic. Healing isn't something that can be accomplished with just words and actions; the wounds one has suffered won't be easily soothed." From the protagonist's perspective: "I can understand that you don't want to pursue the original owner's wishes and want to live your own life..."

Xi Xi Zi is such a jerk, but so cute! Xi Xi Zi is the cutest, cutest, cutest, cutest! I want to pat her on the back! I want to drag Nan Nan Zi into a dark room to write, write, write, update, write, write, write!

To put it simply, this novel subverts all tropes, from the cross-dressing plot to the system's appearance, and even the protagonist's character development and conquest of other characters. This novel gave me a great sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. The protagonist, after transmigrating, doesn't simply follow the system's lead; instead, he uses a very uncharacteristic and unconventional personality to gradually conquer various characters. Every time I see the protagonist's actions, my reaction is... Event happens -> The protagonist appears -> The protagonist completely ignores the system -> The protagonist starts showing off, wow, he shows off to the other side (while eating popcorn and...).

The author is clearly a seasoned pro, using all sorts of tropes for maximum enjoyment. It made me writhe like a maggot on the bed, constantly grinning like a doting aunt. Xi Xi Zi is so cute! I just want to pin her down on the bed and rub her all over, waaaah! The author's writing style is definitely enjoyable, but while reading this book, I kept thinking, doesn't the protagonist get tired of always wearing a mask? After all, constantly acting while wearing a mask doesn't feel realistic. I hope the author will depict tide tide Zi's true nature more in the later chapters.

I found this book in a corner. I vaguely remembered that the male lead had amazing tea skills, and I thought it was finished. I didn't expect it to disappear after it was put on the shelves.

A few days ago, I was looking for a book to read, so I browsed through Pineapple Bun (a Chinese online bookstore). I stumbled upon this one; the title seemed interesting, so I decided to give it a try. And wow, it was great! First off, I think the author writes exceptionally well. The character development, especially the protagonist's decisive and straightforward personality, is superb. The descriptions of the other characters and the narrative are also excellent. It's rare to see a protagonist with this kind of personality on Pineapple Bun; most seem indecisive and hesitant. Maybe I just don't understand it. Anyway, I really enjoyed this book. Reading it reminded me of a book I read before…

It's almost the third Spring Festival, has the author won the revival round?

The author can't live without you! I've updated 10 chapters since the book was published, with 7 chapters in reserve. That means I only wrote 3 chapters after deducting the reserve.

Other conflicts are still uncertain, as the author hasn't written much yet (important, please update soon!). Judging from the synopsis, it seems there should be a major victory for the cousin's faction? Of course, I think getting everything would be great too. Considering the current word count (important, please update soon!), The author has already done a very good job. (A lot of writing in a book doesn't necessarily mean it's good; this book feels polished by the author). Take your time, I can wait (ー`´ー). Overall, the book is excellent and exciting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to read. Author, please keep updating! (Super important!) ฅ( ̳• ◡ • ̳)ฅPs (I'm also desperate because this review violates the rules).
