It's really well-written; each female lead has her own unique characteristics and is portrayed very naturally. But the better, the more hesitant I am to continue reading. There seem to be too many main characters in these thirty chapters, and given the modern setting, it's not easy to create a harem. I'm worried the author might run out of ideas later and abandon the story.
There's so much stuff written now, it's a bit messy. Why not just focus on the male lead? Is this an ensemble piece? I can't really comment; Xia still hasn't grasped her feelings for the male lead, and I've been waiting for so long.
Is it a multi-female lead series? Is Xia Mohe one of the female leads?
It's best not to watch the whole thing.
I was preparing to post a book review three days ago, but then I saw the plot about Xia Xia's pregnancy, and I started wondering if it was going to end. Below is the review I was going to post. Judging from the current power dynamics, the male lead can only cheat on his wife at most; a true harem ending is basically impossible. Olivia was already with the male lead first, plus her parents and maid who wholeheartedly supported her. The initial disadvantage was necessary for balance. Adding Jiang Xi completely turned the situation one-sided. If it continues like this without any major upheavals, the plot will either lean towards pure romance or force a harem and character inconsistencies. This novel won't be able to be pure romance anymore, especially with Xia Xia's situation. The core conflict...
It's been a long time since I've seen Chen Wange, and the yandere girl seems to have disappeared. Seeing Jiang Che flitting among women while the yandere hasn't appeared makes me feel like Chen Wange is just a decoration. It's always the same few female characters, and before the plot has even unfolded, the old characters are just gathering dust. The new chapter was indeed good, bringing the main storyline back, but with the same few characters, it's a bit bland.
The strategist's character is fantastic, but the other characters are rather underwhelming; I suspect they were added just to make the dumplings taste better.

The four major conglomerates take turns serving me, Jiang Che. Isn't that a great blessing?
I don't know why, but I only feel that Chen Wange and her sister are better; I don't seem to have any feelings for the other girls.
So, is this considered a harem or a pure love story? Writing about yandere characters and then moving to a one-to-many dynamic is not only extremely difficult to change the plot later on, but it's also very likely to backfire, unless the yandere character's traits are changed, otherwise the book's appeal will be gone.
