This is a really refreshing story, especially after reading so many books with the same/similar start (FL being carried away as a baby and a white lotus bit*h replacing her).

The ML is kind of flawed which I liked. He is not the typical iceberg aloof type. Him being a jerk is due to his family and what he has been through. And although the fact that while the FL is helping him win so much glory and he is only causing trouble is true, most of the times I've seen... more>> him cause trouble is because someone is insulting the FL (take that part where he framed the white lotus as an example). Which I see as him caring about her. Also, the fact that the FL doesn't show her abilities to the public means that she likes to be humble and low-key (I mean she could just show her abilities if she wanted to).

Another thing that made me like this book is that FL's mother is not as bad as other novels' mother. In the last few chapters I've read, I can see that she does care about the FL is just that they are unfamiliar with each other (if you suddenly find out you have a child you haven't met for more than a decade, I'm sure you won't be like "Welcome my dear! Come give mommy a hug and a kiss." even more so if you have a child that replaced her for so long). Like when the mom knew that the FL suffered in the village she cried, the mother of other FLs be like "she deserved it".

I haven't started on the romance part yet. If I remember I'll come back and edit this. <<less

I love xu xindou's (MC) character in this novel. A strong female lead with various talents and some attitude. I like how she doesn't attach herself immediately to her biological family and gives back the same attitude she receives. Her twin is the only one who treats her good so far, so I hope they'll keep a good relationship.

I look forward to reading the romance and the mystery getting solved in the future chapters XD
and maybe some character development from the ML plz

I MTLed almost all of this and it wasn't too unreadable.

This story has a really great premise, plot, and execution. I actually loved all of the secondary characters. It's great having guys around who are just good friends with the FL and aren't hopelessly in love with her (Shao Qinghe!! He made me laugh when he said he likes watching FL struggle with her family to inspire him). Characters are very realistic and three-dimensional, even when they do something wrong, there's always a motivation behind it.

Both ML and FL have... more>> very admirable personalities. I love that other people catch on to them switching. Their families are also really cute, especially ML's. I even wish we could read his parent's story, I'm so curious about them.

I loved this story. If it got a good translation, I think it would be even more popular. <<less

I really like this novel, it's a really nice spin with the premise of "beautifull girl from poverty in an elit high school". 1 of the things I really liked about it is that apart from 1-2 side characters all of them have proper motive and are understandable/it's believable that they'd do the stuff they do with their mindset. (I went up to date with it in a day)

It’s endearing in a cliche type of way. It’s not that deep of story and definitely has plot holes. MC is op with being from the country side her only flaw. ML is the perfect guy who doesn’t let anybody approach him except MC. MC parents are bad but not abusive bad, a green tea b*tch sister and a brother who sides with her. The usual teenage drama trope. Light hearted read if you are interested.

Good translation, fun story too so far. I would cause endless mischief if it were me doing that.

Damn!!!!!!!

It's good yo I love ? The characters, and it's a concept it's like a spicy dish with little but of sweet and sour

I know it sounds weird, but it tastes gooooooood

Awesome concept and it was really enjoyable. The last 50 or so chapters were a bit of a chore to read but I recommend it bc 380 chapters of nice story is nice. People in the comments were angry at ML for the first few chapters, so I just wanna mention that it's a really balanced relationship, just give them a chance LOL

It's a pretty classic setup with really unreasonable family members as the bad guys, which is a plot I enjoy very much.

It's rare that I like the ML more than the MC but I actually found the MC quite annoying towards the end. When they had already confirmed their relationship and got together, she still remained so aloof and uncaring that I genuinely felt pity for the ML. This was quite the change considering I really liked and admired the MC at the start. Found myself skimming the later chapters because of the MC. The fan wai was really bad too.

I just couldn't go more than 20 chapters. It the classic cliche of manhua romance, only thing unique is the personality of ML and FL but the problems around them is just too cliche that I can't continue.

fake b*tchy sister [CHECK]

Over confident young masters [CHECK]

World bent on being against FL [CHECK]

No background, story starts abruptly, ML is a douche

Only positive is the FL being cold and that's because I like cold characters

The storytelling of this author is not really my cup of tea. The author tends to create a setup as a plot device and then never mentions it again after it has no use. In the beginning of the story, the MC was enrolled in a cram school by her biological parents and the purpose was to create a conflict and to introduce one of the main characters in the story. After the conflict is settled, I never saw it mentioned ever again. What happened? Did she drop out of... more>> it or is she still enrolled in it while also doing her part-time job. That's only one example but you get the gist of it. <<less

Gotta be honest here, the ML is not the type that I like to read, but I guess the story is okay and he is a loyal lover.

ML is kind of annoying and forceful towards FL, basically a rogue. FL likes him so even if he insist on seducing her to comply (being intimate) she will accept it, I just feel that she is wronged and the consent is very dubious.

Most of the times, he will not succeed either because FL will cry or the situation is not right but... more>> still, I feel miffed about how he will take advantage of her and overall being inconsiderate, though on later chapters some friends and his mom will remind him not to be forceful and consider her feelings more. <<less

This translator even beat Flying Lines team in their fashion of splitting chapters. Make 89 into almost 450!! That's a talent, okay?
Must confess, I haven't fully finished reading this novel, basically read the first part and then the ending. It's one of those novels when I put it down, leaving it for later and never picked up again basically. Skimming through first few chapters it downed on me why exactly I did that.
I wish the novel would have dropped the "switching babies at birth" plot and concentrated only on the "swapping bodies". Swapping bodies has potential, while switching babies is fully cliche and routine in this novel that my head hurts.
Note: I'm not against the plot of switching babies itself, but the Mu family acts like one-cell villains (as they are though), which unfortunately are abundant in such plots. They even use same catchphrases. And it entirely lacks any humanity, any individuality and asically it's bad. It's almost my pet peeve when in such family they act and say things that contradict themselves. They righteously say that - our blood should not live outside, or another example is - we owe the girl who lived outside. But in general it's just giving financial support, while owing things is simply ridiculous, these children always get some shameful status, which is scrutinized by others and they never get justice. I understand that not all people are kind and are ready to welcome their lost child (Mu family is such an example), but if you're a**holes, then be them with your head held high, don't bring the child back or better - ask your child if they want to get back. At least try, instead of the overall prejudice. The process of Mu family reason and actions are really flushed and have no detail, but the reason behind Xiundo's actions is even more far-fetched. I almost have a dislike for her acting smart and s*upid at the same time. Why? Simply because she and Tong Yan swap bodies. I understand that some people don't like to owe things, but what is wrong with owing? Do you live so far in the sky that it's so hard to owe the one closest to you. I understand it may be like a burden, but that depends on who you owe to. Especially if it's Tong Yan. With his status it was simply easy to use any eaxcuse to help grandma Xu. After all he grew up under her care and he's half her grandchild, he has all the right to help and he also has resources to do so, but the misplaced babies plot wouldn't move if everything was so logical. She comes back and has to be together with people who are openly hostile, but act under the banner of - ah, it's our blood after all. Honestly, so brain-dead.
That's why I wish this novel only had the body swap plot, body swap always has potential and humor. After all both of them swap bodies and lives, it's really hard to treat same people differently when being in two different bodies. Also initially have different social status, not to mention gender. One is a typical boy who acts like a monkey and the other is a girl who thanks to ML's parents felt what it's like to be cared for by a mother. They have very different lives, but a very special experience of swapping bodies. They can truly understand each other.. from inside out :'D after all like all FLs Xiundo has crazy menstrual cramps and she can share it with her bestie Tong Yan.. Waking up up to the morning wood and other intimate physical things... Jokes aside, basically this shaped how they act a lot. I can't say that Tong Yan became less boyish, he's more sensitive and accepting to girl stuff, while Xiundo is less talkative and sometimes more boyish, because she grew up as a boy and had to act like a boy and had to keep her identity swap a secret, which became a habit. He happily free-wheeled in her body enjoying the freedom of the village children and she could do things she would never come in touch with, Inevitable that because they care about each other eventually with the awakening of adolescence they woke up to feelings as well. But when this plot could have more development, potential etc. it had to squeeze with that damn swapping babies brain-dead part. Sigh. Ugh my blood pressure is soaring.

Dropped at Chapter 50 of 442 on Fan Translation website. I should've dropped it earlier but wanted to give it a chance. However, it became annoying... the amount of forum discussions was excessive. I guess the author really, truly, and without fail wanted to express the awesomeness of Tong Yan (ML). Once or twice is enough but it was overly repetitive.

The plot seemed good but the writing style felt juvenile. Xu Xinduo, FL, was still a character lacking a personality by Chapter 50. There are many short novels that accomplished... more>> to give their characters life in just one or two chapters. This novel was a waste of time. <<less

This novel is just okay, the end chapters were a struggle because they were so boring. Dropped during the extras, lol. The "body swap" setting was shallow and was hardly used with it mostly coming into play with events before the novel started.

Spoiler

The author went full in on making replacement child psychotic to a surprising degree. It honestly seemed that the story from he perspective would have been better. The mother, who though emotionally abused was also to blame for the MCs hurt, got a clean slate and was forgiven. I hated her the most. The way they just gave up on their daughter that they had raised for 17 years was insane.

Don't really know how I feel about this novel. Didn't really make me want to read just from the description of it, only gave in due to the rating.

This novel wasn't actually something new because the plot was often used in other similar genre, such as: child switching trope, green tea fake heiress, etc. Body switching trope was a bit refreshing though although it's not that unique. Unfortunately, this trope wasn't explored decently so it felt half-hearted.

... more>>

Spoiler

Till the end, we didn't get to know why they're be able to switch bodies. The author also skipped the crucial moments of their body swicthing, such as: the first time they switched and how they handled it, how they adapted to their condition through time, how MC gradually fell in love with ML, how ML developed from cold and indifferent guy to become a caring guy who could take care of MC, etc.

When the story started, they already switched bodies for several years already. The author only vaguely mentioned a bit every other time of their past together but it wasn't that detailed. Too bad though because their earlier body switching stories must be interesting to read.

[collapse]

The ending was a happy ending one of course but I'm a bit disappointed with several things.

Spoiler

• • Grandma Xu's sudden disappearance. She was an important person for MC but she didn't even appear on the major event of her life such as her coming-of-age event, her graduation, etc. Maybe the author forgot about her?

• • The ending of several recurring characters were only mentioned briefly. We also didn't know whether the characters who had a potential to be a couple ended up being together or not. I know that this story was about MC and ML but I want to see a happy ending story about their friends too.

This story is really great on multiple levels:

1) Badass Female Lead, especially when we're just starting to learn about her.
2) Supporting Male Lead, especially when it comes (and honestly only) to the Female Lead.
3) Great relation between the two since the beginning and nobody can break it.
4) Complex family relation that goes up and down through the story.

That's it for the general notion, I also want to add that while they manage to make the Female Lead really strong she also has her weak points that are really well described in the novel, points that we are not aware of at the beginning and that come with the story only.

The Male Lead is not perfect but that's what makes the story a bit more realistic and also manage to draw the contrast between the two Leads.

A few points that for me remained a bit unresolved or not developped enough in my opinion (some spoilers can be really late story ones) :

I actually want to rate it 3

But I cancelled it 🤣. I like the translation so finally I give it 4.

Its something I will read "if I don't have any other stories to read"

... more>> Its not story that will absorb all my attention. Let's to say, from 10 chapter, I'll skip to read from paragraph to paragraph. So maybe I'll read about 6 chapter worth.

At the beginning, maybe first 50th chapters I consider to stop to read

The reason is "it's just your common story, with ridiculous plot, and your over power Cinderella story"

But, after I force my self to read, I find my self enjoy the novel

"The only unrealistic plot is how the MC knows everything. She basically your master in everything. Perfect face with sparkling filter on your face. Tyrant of studies (rank first at whole school, international class and accel class), king all kind of sport (win all championship. In all kind of sport like more than 5 kind of sport), music queen (piano at label of all Asia champion 🤕, composing, etc), modelling, tea ceremony, motorcycle, just spill it and she is perfect at it.

Okay, that's too much.

Well, I enjoy the side character. They have emotional background story. And more realistic

"He have business worth billions dollar, but he is not good at sports"

Well, it's just a novel. If we use logic, this 16 year old brat actually too perfect to be true. So, it's far from reality.

That is. It's not something I'll read seriously. But it's good enough to pass your time 🙂 <<less

i just started this novel and I read some comments that they felt sorry for the fake daughter too coz she's 'innocent' BUT all I can say is.. She's a bad btch. No one in their right mind would go around telling people lies and sh*t about someone. Gurl, u sound cheap. Well, I can't blame her tho, that's her character design but imma say this again, SHE'S MAD.

Enough of the villain.

I LOVE OUR MC so much!!! I love her "i dont care" attitude.

that's all I can say for... more>> now but upon reading the comments, I think I will come to like the ML <3 looking forward to their story <3333

[edit june 9, 2022]

okaaaayyyy.. So im done reading this now

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS FIREEEEEE!!!

i said I like pur mc's i dont care attitude, as I read this, she was really a mature woman and she's not at all cold. I love how she handles her frustration and asks ML for comfort. BEST COUPLE AWARDS GOES TO OUR MC AND ML. Damn, I think theyre the best couple ive ever read so farrr. I love how they care for each other. They truly understand each other so much that they seem like a married couple. I love how they're not being annoyingly sweet all the time. aaargh I cant explain it but yeahhh BEST COUPLE 💅❤️

even tho they're a bit (not bit lol) overpowered BUT WHO CARES?! I LOVE BOTH OF THEM

The fake daughter and mc's dad should both go to hell
