This is one of the stories that makes female put their self in the character to feel good. It's too good to be true. Specially the Male Lead. I kind of also dislike how the author keeps saying that the female lead is so different from the female lead of other stories. I mean I already got that vibe so no need to mention it a tons of time.

But anyways, it was a good light read.

This is amazing! No 3rd party and too much melodramatic scenes, everything flowed out very naturally. The women portrayed are strong and independent, even the one who used to like ML.

MC isn't a 'devastatingly beautiful goddess' but only a 'pure beauty', I like how she dealt with things maturely (really makes me envious, ah) and how she isn't the weak cute type the other novel's protagonist are like.

As for the ML, he's very good and very hard to catch one in real life ? I love his love for MC,... more>> he respects her decision and lets her live her own life not like those 'overbearing, mensao CEO' (even though he's a CEO) nor is he a tsundere because he's very laidback on showing his love for MC. He knows they've got their own life but he won't stand still when he knows his wife is being bullied :) <<less

• Actually, I same like Su Le, whatever I read the novel,
• I tends to love when the girl not weak, cool and strong but she still need someone support her.
• This novel makes me think, like we as women no need to low ourselves to get some attention instead we should empower our inner self. I mean dont be such an hour idiot!
• As the story - indeed this is differ from other nov but has charms that makes you especially girl realize a lott of things

Just finished reading this novel and I would like to put this novel into one of my 10 favorites.

I really like the FL's character was like. She's strong, thinks rationally, calm, smart and adaptable, and independent. It's really an image many women would admire (including myself). I really like stories's FL with strong personality like Su Le.

The ML's set up as a rich, handsome, loyal, considerate and gentle man to FL, makes the two of them like a match made from heaven. The couple are a perfect match that makes... more>> people really envious. Peoples with personalities like Wei Chu and Su Le was a bit difficult to find in reality.

The romance between the FL and ML is pretty cute and flufy, but also contained a 'pure' atmosphere. Although the romance and the main leads characters were too good to be true that it's almost impossible, I still like this novel so much!!

As I read this novel, I thought about how a good woman will eventually find a good man who loves her and willingly spend the rest of their lives together, and the same thing goes for the opposite. <<less

Ahh the story is so cute! A lot of reviews here are complaining about how Xiao Le Le was “too cool” or whatever, but I prefer her to the classless ladies who would react at every single thing. And if you really look deeply, you can see that she also loves him so much. Definitely a match made in heaven!

This novel is Mango approved.

What can only be called a shoujo Slice of Life targeted towards female audience, this is a sweet romance in which the sweetness comes from the romance itself. No baby bump sweetness or stuff like that.

We have a strong feminist female lead who prefers to live life as it should be. On the other hand, we have the Male lead who has had a huge crush on her for years before finally acting. His pursuit of her is pure vanilla and cotton candy.

Over all, this novel... more>> is just a lazy romance story which is a collection of such moments which you know can only be found in romance novels and books. The Male lead is scarily perfect and the female lead has a strong character which is steady. The side characters are agreeable.

So why not 5? For one, the female character is far too monotonous. Make no mistake, I am not against her ideals or anything but looking at her emotive skills reminds me of Dominique from The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It is just that her character is not interesting enough for me.

Then again, I am not the target audience. Also, something that I have an issue with is with the repeated projection of the views of the author regarding feminity. Is feminism wrong? Absolutely not. But I would prefer a story over a preaching. The author could have done better.

Lastly, the way people address each other. This is probably a lost in translation, but I absolutely hate it when people call each other CEO Chen or CEO Yun. A CEO is not a doctor yo!!

UPDATE: Just completed the series. Still a 4 for me as I am absolutely not the target audience, I feel. A fairy tale ending for the pure shoujo series. If nothing else, this is a good short read for someone to get some sweet reading without thinking much. There is proper closure to the series. <<less

I like the idea of the book, some women should really value themselves more than they do. But I did deduct a star because a couple should be as equal as possible in a relationship, but here she just takes and rarely gives.

It's a short story that I finished in one day! Although it's quite different from all the drama-filled novels that I usually read, it still left me just as satisfied, if not more, because it portrayed an uncomplicated, heartwarming love story between two independent people. It reminded me that love doesn't have to be heart-wrenching and go through numerous life-changing trials for it to be worthwhile.

I just reread this and remembered how refreshing it was to have a Chinese Novel that didn't have a ML who was overbearing with the FL or an FL who was supposed to be strong and smart suddenly turn weak and loose all her brains when the ML was around.

The characters in this are consistent, strong, and respectful of each other. There's no unnecessary drama, the cheating ex gets what he deserves (as does the girl he fooled around with), and the FL and ML have a strong, sweet relationship.

This novel was... quite uneventful

Don't get me wrong i've liked both the MC and ML, it just that the story got draggy really quick.

I've read other novels from that same Author and I absolutely love her stories (TJOAIC was and still is my favorite Chinese web novel) but I just get the feeling that maybe her style doesn't really match with modern settings if that makes sense ? The whole story is about Wei Chu's pursuit of Su Le and... it would have been fine if the roman was... more>> just 10 chapters long but 62 chapters just about a basic love story with nothing else happening is way to hard to swallow for me. I even had to pause the reading quite a few time for couples of weeks before finally reading the remaining chapters. <<less

There's no conflict at all. ML's pursuer is a very respectable person. MC's ex bf, while not very respectable, doesn't even stand a chance at ruining the relationship. Everything is smooth sailing. MC is such a mature and stable person. Meanwhile, ML is a perfect man with golden retriever energy.

I like that they acknowledged that a big factor why MC got his success so quickly is because he was born in a rich powerful household. The only problem with this is the author suddenly decided to end the story. It's... more>> like the novel was going on at 60 kph but then at the last two chapters author suddenly went overspeeding. It felt so rushed. <<less

CNovel with a feminist FL? CHECK.

ML who went above and beyond the standard? CHECK.

A fluffy, easy-going story? CHECK!!!

This is seriously one of the realistic novels out there (except the ML since he seems to be a rare breed lol). I looooooove how the FL isn't some dumb, weak female character who depends on a man. The story harps on women being strong and independent and honestly I am all for it. I love how there is mutual respect between the couple and they are in the "same level" (cause in... more>> some stories the FL just lost her braincells after being in a relationship and all the decision and actions in the relationship is made by the ML). Also the character of FL makes sense considering her childhood and the background she grew up on.

It is a fun read! <<less

Short and lighthearted without too much drama. It was a decent read and the translation well done, though the author tried a little too hard with pushing forth the philosophy of "women don't need men" and "there's nothing wrong with being strong". The character's actions already speak for the dogmas and the added exposition in the form of mullings was not really needed. Other than that, it was enjoyable to read without frustration at the main characters.

This book is passable. While I like the author’s female leads in ancient novels, I think her female lead doesn’t work well in modern drama.

Rather than appear strong and independent the FL comes as selfish and lazy. She accepted all the ML good treatments with ignorance facade while deluding herself that she’s poor so that’s why she accepted it (btw she herself said that she can buy car and apartment from her saving). Its not good when you don’t have feeling for someone but accepted all the things he gave... more>> to you and pretend ignorant to his feelings. Shes not dense, everyone else can see the ML feeling, and her ex bf also pursued her relentlessly before so she knew the feeling of being pursue by someone.

The ML also not realistic. Their interactions in the past were not enough to justify his deep love for her. At most it can only be regarded as crush. And its not believable when the FL doesnt recognize ML when in the university he was the president of student union where the FL also members of student union. They also interacted few times and with ML good looks and how everyone seems to know him its not believable for FL not to know him. Her best friend and classmates basically adore him as great God lol eventho you are dense you will know one or two great gods in your university moreover they were on same department. Its too far fetched.

Her so called personality is inconsistent with her actions. And a relationship is not good when only one ppl give and give and give. When everyone says they are a good match, its the author that wanted then to be a good match. For me men need to have their own dignity. To pamper and doting your loved one is good but to be a s*ave is not good. This will only works in the novel, with handsome and rich CEO ML. To have ML postpone or delay his works for FL, normal working men cant afford that.

With novel such as TBAVW eventho the FL didnt say the 3 words but the ML can feel it through her actions. Too bad the ML here didn’t get anything until the novel ended. <<less

Read this story as it was written by the same author of Eight Treasures Trousseau and To Be A Virtuous Wife so had kind of high expectations. So maybe due to my high expectations I found the story kind of boring.

The FL is very independent and a kind of girl who prioritize herself before anyone. Self loving. Whereas the ML dotes on FL alot and he is very understanding. They both have mutual respect and understanding which I love about it. The scenes between the ML and FL are adorable.... more>> However are some parts that I found is boring. FL is kind of dense, very dense. Some time even I am like what the h**l.

But anyways still completed the book 📖. It was kind of okay. But still gave 4 stars 🌟 as it was written by one of my favorite author. Haha... am being bias here. Anyways if you wanna pass time its still a good book to read. <<less

Ay, I love this story. It has a calm and straightforward plot. Add to the point that me and the female lead actually have a pretty similar view about love and relationship.

I really enjoyed this novel and I'd recommend this to everyone.

You can expect a female lead with a strong metality and a steady and adorable male lead.

So Sweeet. It was totally different from all the other novels where MC and ML immediately fall in love with each other. The touch of reality was super sweet. It was not conflicting and had a beautiful humorous feeling to it. Even though I don't write reviews most of the time I just had to write something for this novel.

Regretting not knowing this novel long back.

The story is nice but it is kind of bland to me. It is the type of story that I cannot recall back to remember which it doesn't give any impact to me. It is nice to read but not really interesting as it doesn't really touch any of my emotions.

Very good short story with good pacing. Really loved the male lead, the main character was good too though she has her moments where she tries to ignore MLs feelings because she thinks it'd be better in the long run. I wish she would do just a bit more in the relationship, it feels like he did more for her (without being extreme or dramatic).

I wanted to like at least one work of this author. She writes really well, but her most famous and completely translated novels proved to be a complete turn off for me. Mostly because I don't get the mindset of the females she describes and I don't understand the world of Ancient China she creates in her novels. Iloved Hello, Wife, this novel about normal people in normal modern times. About the normal kind of happiness available to each and one of us, really. This novel keeps her signature style,... more>> though. Relationships between women in her novels are way more complicated, nuanced and even difficult for me as a non Chinese reader to get, as if they were following some cultural rules, alien and incomprehensible to us, than between men which are way more universal, simply human and kind, full of goodness, foolishness, brilliance and camaradery. Women are so different in this novel, always dangerous and complicated, I can't relax when their inner states and thoughts or behaviors are described. I just don't get them.

However, in this novel the main character is a female writer herself and describes why she creates such female characters. If the author describes her own creative process in her, then I understand why it feels so artificial. Because it's ideal, it's not real.

Thanks a million to the author and to the translator (s). You guys worked hard and did an awesome job. Kudos to you. <<less
