Definitely one of the sweetest, light, romance stories. The story is centered around online MMORPG gaming but is more of a slice-of-life story. It’s very sweet, a slow blooming romance and while the MC and ML are both beautiful, talented and charming, they’re still very much humane in a sense, and relatable. The plot is realistic but satisfying, so there isn’t an over exaggerated villain or complete, annihilating, revenge, it’s all quite realistic but in most cases is fluffy or makes you smug in satisfaction. In some ways it’s a... more>> romance/technical centered version of ‘The King’s Avatar/Quan Zhi Gao Shou’, where the story focuses more on the life of the players outside of the game but the game still plays a key element to the story.

I’ve read the story, translated chapters of the manhua and watched the drama but personally I like the original story best.

however...

Spoiler

In the drama the female supporting characters, or the female MC’s friends, are slightly more developed, particularly her best friend. She also gets a romance line, but it was a romance triangle not with the ML, rather with a boy who liked the MC, but she didn’t like him, and tried to get close to her via the game. Except he got close to the MC’s friend because he mistakenly thought that the character she used was the MC’s. Personally, I didn’t like this triangle simply because the friend annoyed me a bit with her immaturity, she’s not bad, just a bit annoying. In the novel, the friends all don’t show up as much, and as far as I can remember the triangle never happened, it was very much focused on the MC and ML.

This was the most heart-warming, cutest, and funniest Chinese web novel I've read yet. It was beautifully written and have finished it in one day. If the sequel was ever released, I would be one of the first to read it, because it's that good. Ahhh, now I feel lonely after reading that story. I want to keep reading the main couple's life together ?

A little cliche, but still a fun and easy read.

Basically, a super hot but introverted girl plays video games. Her in-game "husband" dumps her for the "most beautiful player, " but then the game's strongest player "proposes" to her. Little did she know that her perfect "husband" was really... (I won't spoil it)

Don't expect a lot of gaming or strife -- this is more about the romance. Somehow, it really reminds me of Twilight... not the vampire part, but definitely the shoujo-ness (sparkly-perfect-guy-who-loves-only-you theme). It's a fluffy romance that... more>> you'll enjoy if you don't think too hard about it.

Dreams of Jianghu's translations are good as usual -- well-written but with lots of Chinese vocabulary to remember. Dreams of Jianghu are always good at capturing funny/cheeky conversations and environments.
Lil Bliss has translated more of the side stories, but the translations flow a little less smoothly. I'm still thankful for their hard work, though.

P.S. If you're a fujoshi, you'll love the last BL "outtake" chapters. Our ship has sailed... ;)
But if you hate BL, don't read them and complain. <<less

I've already finished this novel in one sitting way back--that's just how good it is. What can I say? This novel is pure perfection. The female and male lead are perfect for each other--I absolutely love their interactions and the romance is not too abrupt but gradually heightens. I was very satisfied with the ending as well. Everything was sorted out well in the end. I really like how the female character is so composed, mature and wise while the male character is calm and nosebleed worthy. And lastly everything... more>> was written beautifully!

I really really recommend it! <<less

This is a very adorable romance that keeps you smiling throughout. I was reading this in school with this goofy grin on my face, and my friends would just be like, "She's reading light novels again" lol

I like the slow paced love, and how he treats her so well! Nothing felt rushed, and it seemed oh so right. This novel really gives me such a warm feeling.

Kudos to this picturesque couple!

Even though it's a shoujo and the mmorpg part is not the one we need to focus on, I think the author is better at writing about mmorpg than the author on shounen mmorpg type...

Well focusing on the story it's great, a bit fast, you will finish it a couple of hour but I think our WeiWei is a bit too weak? Hmmm ok it's a shoujo, the male lead need to be awesome but...

Spoiler

Even her children are better than her at gaming... Or her son is mocking her... her husband gene right there... Hard to think that she is rank 5 in PK list...

[collapse]

The author is good at giving a real feeling to the background of the story, quite easy to follow what she is showing us.

Many side character are funny and the humor is good (when it's not for mocking our poor WeiWei :/)

Anyway I enjoyed it, good for a change of mood after all those shounen other world / VRRPG / thingy... <<less

The male and female lead have kind of generic personality in this story. Their adventure in the game isn't that bad, written as quite interesting. The problems they have are not bad in real life as well. The ending is well-liked by many. I think the after-ending story is more interesting than the main story, lol, maybe because the kids are the leads.

it was translated by two. Groups and I read. The one by dream of jianghu, I also read lil' bliss version and both are great
DoJ offer more comprehensive explanation in their translation, lil bliss completed all side stories even the BL side story

the story was about the gamer girl getting her character in mmorpg dumped by her mmorpg husband (no feeling, only for couple mission)
and then proposed by the strongest character there

the story itself was sugary sweet, cute, lighthearted, and all that romance stuff

there are conflicts, but... more>> the girl and her (new) husband are OP both in game or irl so I see it as funny instead of sad/angering

so I reccomend this story to those searching for mmorpg fluffy fluff romance <<less

Simply an excellent novel, on my top 5. I have a fondness for the two MC, and a sort of warm feeling at the story (and some tear of laugh).

Try it, seriously.

This story had me laughing and feeling sad with its up's and downs. While the review below me touch's up on the summary from wwyxhqc's I went in thinking it was another novel about a women who's marriage was broken off and some guy randomly offers to marry her. I was happy to find out that it did take part in a game world but still managed to flow between the game world and the real life world they lived in just perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend this to people who... more>> want that romance novel that can take you on a emotional roller coaster of "aww how cute" to "F*** that girl!" to "omg is this really happening..". This novel is not something you can judge by it's cover or summary. <<less

This 微微一笑很倾城 is translated by two groups.

The first is Lil' Bliss : 'A Slight Smile is Very Charming', while the second is by Dreams of Jianghu/ wwyxhqc witn 'Just One Smile is Very aAlluring' as title.

Note: while I said second and first, I do not know which group started translating the series first. Both groups have very different style in translating, so no copying others here. Personally I prefer wwyxhqc, as I read their translation first, while Lil Bliss has more complete side stories.

It is not really clear in the... more>> summary, but the story take place in both MMORPG and real life, with MMORPG being the dominant one in early chapter. The story follow Wei-Wei, whose husband-in-game divorced her to get married to the most beautiful female player. The marriage was done to finish quest and get buff, so she didn't think too much of it. But since her character was in the 5 top PK list, it became a big news and people kept saying: "Kidnap the bride! LOL" and turn the whole thing into something huge in game. This series didn't focus much in action, but PK, relation between player in guild, boss fight, quest dkk are certainly here.

The story flow is more to josei rather than shoujo. I really like their relation in game and irl. Not much drama or serious conflict, partly because how perfect both protagonist are. I found it silly that despite being a such a calming novel to read, this novel still have face slapping scene.

The summary from wwyxhqc is as follows

If you were "tragically" dumped, and then a very strong, very cool and very arrogant man proposed to you, how you you react? Bei Wei Wei's response: Da Shen, did your account get stolen? This world is too fantastical! Her ex-"husband" just moved on to marry the "Most Beautiful", the "Strongest in Jianghu" has just come to propose? And said he'll give her a better and more magnificent wedding. The faculty "flower" at a famous university, Bei Wei Wei was embarrassed but quickly once again married... ... <<less

A Slight Smile is Very Charming indeed. For Xiao Nai, it wasn't her beauty, wealth, or aura that captivated him, but the elegance of Bei Wei Wei's fingers dancing across the keyboard and her composed demeanor. Simultaneously, oblivious to love's presence, Bei Wei Wei conquered a guild war effortlessly. Thus, the master tactician Xiao Nai strategically won her heart both online and offline, nurturing a blossoming romance.

The beginning of it was definitely excellent but in the latter half it kind of lost its charm. Maybe because the story seemed like someone else's? It was also a bit rushed, as if they were only narrating in hindsight and thus lacking a lot of details. I feel like I was able to read the translation only because of my experience of already reading some Chinese novels. It was good though. Since I read this after watching both the movie and drama, I could appreciate this more. The FL... more>> was better portrayed in the movie than the drama. Nobody could do Xiao Nai justice though. Maybe Yang Yang did? Still lacking. The drama was more than the novel whereas the movie was way less. I think I still prefer the novel though. It only focused on the MCs and their relationship with others rather than the side characters’ stories as well which is common in CDramas.

Spoiler

That said, I really really like KO and HaoMei’s relationship. It seems so natural for them to take care of each other like that. KO is like, I can suffer but my wife can’t and HaoMei is like, go hack the government database to get us a marriage certificate. Hahaha

It's lighthearted, sweet, and fast paced (which is understandable since it can be considered as a short novel). Anyway, if we're just going to enjoy everything, it's indeed very enjoyable and relaxing. But on a stricter note, I sensed a little imbalance due to the disparity of strength, skills, and status of the ML and FL. The ML is indeed a great master whereas the FL is, although not mediocre, but is inferior to the ML. However, it isn't that bad because although the FL is not as smart nor... more>> as talented as the ML, she's funny and big-hearted. Anyway, since this is a short read, there really isn't no need to ponder about their differences. All in all, I like how their story, as well as the side stories! And it just happened that my favorite is the last side story. Lol CEO Feng and CEO Xiao are both cute and funny. I love their tandem HAHAHAHAHAHA 9/10 <<less

Okay so I watched the drama series first before reading this. The drama has different vibe than the novel though. The FL on the novel has this cute, sexy and mary sue vibe but in the drama, the FL is more independent and somewhat cold? The novel is better for me though, there are scenes that were explained but if you want to watch some fluff then I definitely recommend the drama.

A nice story, sweet and short. Would give it 5 stars usually but came here from reading First Frost so... does nt compare. It’s uncomplicated and short. Goof fluff for quick reading but a bit too uncomplicated and simple, it’s not fully fleshed out. And overhyped my opinion. Not bad but not the best. Watched the movie/tv drama too and surprisingly liked the movie better than the novel, which never happens for me, especially with chinese series. Recommend to give it a try but don’t expect it to be the... more>> story of a century <<less

I got hooked on the TV Drama first, then I get to know this fabulous and wonderful NovelUpdates ! So many thanks to this Novel/Drama/Movie.

I got hooked on this because of YangYang handsome-lickable face (fanning myself). The drama itself is light read and interesting to me. WeiWei felt like those perfect girls and I love how Xiao Nai is warm and loving to her. This novel/drama also bring me to MMORPG/Game element novel. Also, Hao Mei x K.O open up another wonderful door to Danmeis and BL for me. I... more>> found the spin-off about them somewhere on the internet. Dunno if it's just a fanfic bu, I enjoyed it.

I would reccomend to you guys who haven't read this gem. <<less
