Embarrassing, no?

At the same time, gaming expert Bei Wei Wei was on the computer methodically commanding a guild war and won a perfect and glorious victory despite being at a disadvantage; completely unaware of the fact that cupid is nearby.

Soon after basketball player; swimmer; all-around excellent student; and game company president, Xiao Nai, uses tactics both on- and offline to capture this beauty’s heart. Therefore this romance slowly bloomed.

I only wish it could've been more fully written and embellished - aka - I want more :D

And really, this is one of the best & favourite romances I've read because the OTP truly believes in each other and nothing & no one can come between them.

It's a rather simple, pure & true romance and I love it.

I prefer reading this novel then watch the adaptation. I know this kind of lighthearted novel which lack misunderstandings and persistent villain is not really appalling to viewers, so that's why I don't plan to watch this. If you're not satisfied with this and needed more drama inserted then you can watch the adaptation. I don't know how good the adaptation are but I read some comment commented about it, apparently the scriptwriter add some drama to the movie.

(Been a while since I read this, so sorry in advance lol.)

Read this after the drama, and the story's pretty much the same in the drama except for a few elements. The movie is more faithful, but albeit squashed together. The story itself is pretty simple and sweet, but watching the drama first made me think of how the drama added a lot more to the mix, as the novel's good, but it became better with me watching the drama before.

I have some issues though regarding the unexpected... more>> couple (veeeery mild spoiler ahead, only the identity of the second couple)
Spoiler

Hao Mei and K.O. Their relationship is a bit... dubious. It's a bit out of this criticism, but like some works, fanfictions could top it. Beyond a Beautiful Smile by Katikatka on Wattpad is great! It brings a much more healthy dynamic and fluffy content to the table. I'm guilty for not finishing it yet though...

It's super short and quick to read, but I think watching the drama would boost the experience. Otherwise, a great novel. <<less

This is a good story. The ML slowly but sure spread the net to catch the MC. The sugary is sweet. I love how the MC can separate the live between game and reality. She juat cant defend agains the ML that attack her in game and reality though :D

It has danmei inside which is cute. I love the couple.

Found this novel after watching Love O2O drama. This novel is the beginning of my Chinese Novel Reading journey.

Love the character so much, it's funny and amusing at the same times, and it make me wanna play game too (even though I'm suck at it lol)

After reading the novel, I understand the story so much more and suddenly all missing point on the drama click together. Not blaming the drama though, maybe it's due to some editing.

I enjoy reading it so much that I re-read so many times already

Read finish this novel years ago, but I recently watched the drama version of this story so came back to revisit some scenes~

This is a story of how a very sweet couple got together and continued the fluff. All fluff, no angst.

Also a story of how winners in life wins in life. Hahahahaha!

... more>> The drama did change the story to create more conflict (more "drama") though the main gist of it is still there. I like how some were seriously live-action of scenes in the story.

1 note about the story title. There is a Chinese poem that goes 一笑倾城 再笑倾国, loosely translated to be "a (beauty's) smile topples cities, a second smile topples countries". So the title Wei Wei Yi Xiao Hen Qing Cheng can also be interpreted as (Reed) Wei Wei & Yi Xiao (Nai He) Topples Cities aka this combination is very beautiful/ destructive! ?? <<less

This the first CNovel I've read. So of course it had a lot of impression on me, and honestly has become my standard for other CNovels.

I liked that the pacing of the story is just right. Although at that time I read it, I was mightily confused as to why, Wei Wei 'runs away' from Xiao Nai everytime they have physical contact. Like, they are obviously dating, and like each other. But soon I just accepted it as a cultural thing.

My impression is that it's a sweet novel. ML is... more>> obviously cream-of-the-top kind of lead.

At that time, I have no idea of CNovel clichès, thus, I think I was able to rate this novel this high tbh. <<less

Love this story! The characters have an interesting love story without a lot of unnecessary drama that is most common in similar stories, it's just the right amount of drama. The female characters are cool, capable, realistic and most importantly really good friends. The male friendships are really good too and totally root for the couple. There is nothing I dislike about this story.

If you want pure fluff this is the book you go to. One of my very first cnovels I remember reading and honestly this is the book of pure fluff (and cringe) that really got me reading cnovels.

There is little to no drama here and the whole story is adorable. Both the main characters are marysues / garystus but somehow it works. Though there are a handful of moments where it's just pure cringe, I enjoyed this a lot.

Really this is the book that displays the 'perfect' romance between two... more>> 'perfect' people and it's so cheesy in a good way lol. If you want deeper plots and character developments this book really isn't for you, but if you want a light read with some good old fashion cheese, fluff and wish fulfilment this is the novel for you. <<less

This novel was extremely well done, and had moved my heart from the starting to the very final chapters, and finished with a heartwarming ending.

This novel deserves it's high rating and nothing lower.

This is the first time I read this type of story. It bewildered me at first but once I got the gist of it it was extremely entertaining. This has 'cute' plastered all over it. It's the type of story where you get a nice fluffy feel from beginning to end. It's pretty straightforward, no drama or unnecessary twist which was very refreshing to say the least.

The pace was just right and the witticism of the novel is what made me decide to read the extras. The author is cunning,... more>> he wanted to make sure I will read the other works as well.",) <<less

3.5 ⭐

If you're looking for something quite light, sweet and cute give this book a go.

The storyline is very straightforward small dramas in between. The protagonist and the male lead has mutual trust for each other, they have a very smooth sailing relationship. It is a good breather if you're tired of reading over melodramic stories.

Overall it's a pretty good book, but I would have preferred if there was more development into their relationship and character. ... more>>
Spoiler

The story goes like this. The girl meets the guy online, sometime later she meets him for the first time in real life and then they get together and the story goes on...

I've read it plenty of times, watched its live action movie, watched its live action drama and read its webtoon.

This story is one of my favorites, great plot, no tedious love triangles and simple.

Thanks for the translation are unique.

The story is really amazing, quiet, romantic, funny and very captivating
It is a pleasure to have read this. the original version, the film and the Cdrama are fantastic.
I like his characters, dialogues, to be able to imagine how the author is satisfactory has become my favorite.

I will read more stories of this author I really like the way you write that makes you want to know a character as he describes it... I laughed, I was happy, I cried with anger I found... more>> a lot of feelings thanks to this story.

And finally if there really is a book where you buy this story I would buy it without a doubt.

It's a story with essence ---- sure I'll read a lot of times I'll repeat it and I will not get tired because it does not matter if you read it once... twice you do not want to let go of the story and its characters. <<less

Beautiful...

Their interaction is cute and memorable, the story is one of my fav romance novels, although short that's what make's it memorable, the female character is normal but like-able while the male character is the same as every novel that's why I gave it 4 rather than 5, since it's always the cold handsome cliche which is boring though the male character is innocent in a way but still boring personality, anyway the story is a lighthearted one which shouldn't be taken seriously.

This wasn't in my fave read, it's been some time and I forgot few details (part of why it's not in my fave)

I remember some parts from the drama, at least... uh.. pretty cute, have to admit I like KO and Meiren more (side couple)

Fantasy-like light read, author is very sweet and knows how to ground the romance to real life. It reads like it could be happening right this moment somewhere in china.
Supporting characters are cute and make you look forward to them coming back, female... more>> lead has a group of friends who supports her, and this is an important addition that made this novel memorable to me (drama disappoints in this department)
you root for MC, because she's very capable, down to earth, and clever (right away you see she has high-level wife attribute - haggling)

things that dragged down my enjoyment:
Spoiler
  • I always feel a lack of connection to the character, and the MC being near perfect and very stable didn't help
  • We don't see much of ML's character, really, and the story starts off abruptly
    probably the drama messing with me.. but he doesn't emote much, does he? I don't have a big impression about his motives/goals or feelings
  • ML's love seem to come out of nowhere, I can't understand it
    You can tell me love comes without notice, I say novel about love kind of has to tell you where that love starts and how it bloomed. otherwise it's similar to OP characters, feels cheap -- Just to contrast, I enjoyed let's eat shan-shan, it has more meat in the story, for me.
  • not that fun to reread

I have re-read this for about three times and this review is written long after my third read.

This novel only has one goal: Romance. They accomplished it beautifully. You'll... well, at least I was giggling like a schoolgirl--no wait a minute I'm a schoolgirl

Eh, anyway, this is a very sweet and lighthearted read to heal your dark, somber, and depressed soul. When it's over, prepare yourself to cry, because you and I both won't ever find a guy like this novel's male lead nor a girl like this novel's female... more>> lead (and protagonist). <<less
