Don’t Fall In Love With The Boss

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Qian Wei’s last regret in her life was at the age of 19, when she offended Lu Xun, known as the “Light of the Law School”. She helped her brother Qian Chuan to pry at Lu Xun’s corner and robbed Mo Zixin from him. Who knew that Lu Xun would become her boss one day, and Qian Wei could only work like a cow or horse for atonement. But now God gave her the opportunity to return to the age of 19. Qian Wei said that she will help Lu Xun and ensure that he and Mo Zixin will be together. But … Why did she seem to offend Lu Xun more thoroughly? Help! She just wanted to help the future boss fall in love, not to fall in love with the future boss!

Qian Wei complained a lot about her boss: “Doesn’t Lu Xun have a private life? He works overtime all day, is he not afraid of developing kidney deficiency?”

Until one day, her boss called her to the office:

Lu Xun: Today, don’t work overtime. Come to my house.

Qian Wei: ???

Lu Xun smiled indifferently: A good boss should not let employees always have doubts. Tonight, I will show you personally that I don’t have kidney deficiency.

First time writing a review here. Forgive me if it doesn't seem quite right in portraying the story or the characters because I'm not very eloquent nor proficient in English. I'm doing this to also help me remember this story better at later date, definitely a favorite of mine!

Look no more if you're searching for a sweet and fluffy love story with minimal angst. The FL, Qian Wei, is a dense one, which leads to many misunderstandings that prevent our leads from getting together 9 years earlier. But, after experiencing... more>> a rebirth

Spoiler

that is not actually a rebirth at all,

[collapse]

we are taken into a journey of their youth, where all of the things she missed are shown clearly to reveal that the ML has been chasing her all along. Aside from the FL denseness, I think it is also the ML's fault for not saying his feeling outright. Alas, when he tried to confess the first time, his love letter was mistaken as the work of a stalker of FL's brother.

He managed to confess his love four times though, and I adore all of them.

Spoiler

The first was that letter and flower failure. The second was when he cleared the accusation of thievery against FL in front of the whole uni (this was during her 'rebirth' timeline and they were already together at that point). The third was when he tried to confess through a case document prior to the FL accident in the real timeline. And the last time was when he proposed to her in public after giving a speech at their uni as an alumnus.

[collapse]

Overall, this story is just my cup of tea. The only complaint I have is that there is no extra story at all. I really want to have a little peek at their life as a married couple and their kids ah! <<less

This is hilarious and super cute! I love both the characters, they are not your typical warm FL and cold ML because they’re both super dorky inside 🤣🤣 no matter how they try to stick to their stereotypes, their dorky personalities can’t help but burst through in hilarious ways.

Easy to binge-read. Felt short and quick but was absolutely lovely, had me laughing the entire time.

Very cute, funny and lighthearted.

The MC is the epitome of a dense blockhead, pretty naive but at the same time full of charisma. ML is your arrogant, cold and indifferent guy but once his heart softens, he's as passionate as fire yet seemingly timid when confessing.. haha. The side characters are also quite decent - especially the brother and best friend couple.

Plot line is also okay, not exactly unique in the way things turned out in the end, but still has an original idea. Ending was quite rushed tbh but... more>> HE so all's well ends well. The misunderstandings that's scattered throughout the novel aren't really too dramatic and resolved pretty easily, hence nothing too angst about this novel either. Though tbh, towards the end of the story, where the main leads explaining their misunderstandings to each was pretty cringey and long-winded lol.

All in all, this novel is meant to be a very lighthearted read, so don't take it too seriously or otherwise you're just gonna be pissed... probably? Haha, just kidding, this novel is quite laugh inducing as well so enjoy reading~~ <<less

First, I would like to thank the translator for the fine work I understand perfectly tge humor of this novel.

Unfortunately, the author seemed to drag the story and it lost its taste halfway. I mean I can't believe the protagonists became annoying halfway. Like how the cold ML who practiced law became docile to a not-so brainy MC. It may be amusing at first but I can't believe the 30 year old reborn MC who's a lawyer became so dumb, being clue less for the whole time until ML confessed... more>> and yet continued to be dumbstruck throughout.

Like I thought she was the modern female in that story but actually so naive and basically it's like she was just superficially attractive to his ML boss but has the tendency to swing anytime. When Mo Tang basically badmouthed the ML she just listen and did not go in defense. Such an idiot lead's not my tea. A pity this novel started so well.

I gave 3 stars because of the translator's top notched skill in translating. <<less

To be honest, the MC is kinda s*upid in a not very entertaining way. I expected her to have something more and actually use her head—i mean, for god's sake, she was a litigation lawyer. The reviews said that it'll get better further into the story... But I'm not sure if I'll continue this. so it's on-hold for now.

I love love love this novel and read the mtl but will read the translations again. the MC is a bit ditzy but not to the point of being a dumb blonde and just the right amount to be adorable. ML is a tough nut to crack in general and he only melts for her. Its the small small things he does that makes you feel awwww... he loves her so much. Also the concept of what exactly happen to when she went back to the past is realistic, believable... more>> and not some random make up excuse so yes I totally recommend this!!! <<less

I don't write reviews but this one is so good, I read the MTL version and finished it. If you're looking for something cute and light-hearted, this is definitely a good read. While I do agree that the ML is OP, I really liked the development in the story especially that twist in the end! I was honestly about to stop reading because it got a wee bit too saccharine for my taste and then you get hit by that twist... I wish there was more to the story but... more>> overall, I loved it even though there is a lot of stereotypes. Sometimes you just want to read something that helps you get through your depressing life and this is one of those books. <<less

God, let me preface this with saying that I usually don’t swoon or fawn over romance novels but THIS ONE.

THIS ONE. It had me smiling and grinning and snorting with laughter and swooning. I’m a pretty serious person who doesn’t enjoy comedy and fluff that much but this novel had all of that AND I enjoyed it so much. God, I want to reread it right now.

Please don’t spoil yourself because it’s such a wonderful experience. But, I found that the plot didn’t have any elements that had me rolling... more>> my eyes or cringing. It was pretty well thought out and GOSH. IT WAS SO ROMANTIC. Like, I want to recommend this to everyone.

PLEASE READ IT!!!!!!! <<less

Aww, a sweet, cute, funny, light and romantic novel. Definitely one of my favorites! Where can I find a Lu Xun for me?? Hahaha. Qian Wei, a fun, lovely, smart and courageous lady, a great character with a personality that felt real. My Lu Xun an asian Mr. Darcy, dream boy and loyal to his loved one. I personally loved the novel. There was no unnecessary drama, no evil/criminal second female lead, no poor unfortunate second male lead, just a heart warming story about two people who almost (because of... more>> misunderstandings) lost each other but finally found the happiness they yearned for.

5/5 stars, highly recommend!! <<less

Love it!

Just love the FL. She is silly/s*upid, has a glib tounge and has the ability to spew bullsh*t as easily as it is to breathe. But even though she is silly and somewhat s*upid, she is very smart and mature at times, specially when it comes to relationships and feelings. She stays true to herself and doesnt hide her true nature, unlike many others that decide to put foward a fake act, a disguise, to get in relationship with someone.

Then we get the ML. A true iceberg with poisonous... more>> tounge, doesnt show any emotion and is perfect in every way. Honestly, for a while, I was really annoyed with him. He has deep feelings for FL, yet instead of any signs of expressing em, he keeps it to himself, and every time the FL acts differently as to what he wants, he gets mad and bullies her. I even considered dropping the novel when I tought the FL falling in love with such a ML.

Yet luckily I didnt, and damn was I rewarded. At some point the ML gets a wakeup call, and realises that going on like that she is going to lose her to someone else. So he throws away his pride, shame, his way of acting, and actually tries to get into FL life. The whole process is so silly, sweet, filled with laughter, rly showing what a real relationship could be like. His facade of perfection is cracked, and whats left is an awkward and inexperienced man trying his best to get the girl he loves to like him, with many hilarious incidents in between. The contrast between him before and after what makes it even more sweeter.

Defenitely worth reading. <<less

I found this novel was light reading, unique, and quite funny, and kept me smiling through some chapters.

QW the FL was a naive and dense when it comes to her love affair, yet so witty and smart handling other people affairs. LX the ML the typical tsundere, prideful, arrogant, but at some point began to like and protective toward FL.

The romance was slow burnt, bcos FL so dense, she always thought ML love another person and for ML never put his pride down to clarify things. Eventho there were... more>> already hints and sparks here and there, still FL refuse to acknowledge ML feeling toward her.

Their love supposed to come naturally, author tried quite hard to explain how come the male god (who was literally perfect in every way) came to love "ordinary" FL, which depicted as lazy, frequently slept in the class and even get caught by ML tried to make cheat sheet in one exam. Author highlight her good quality as an optimist, sunny person, good endurance & perseverance and also righteous person. Their romance was not so bumpy, just bit jealousy and lack of good communication. So if youre looking some angst and conflict, not gonna found it in this novel.

Give 5 stars, cos it made me smile and chuckle <<less

I like this one, it was a light reading. Tho FL pictured a bit dense, but with her misunderstanding it was understandable. I even had a friend who was dense without misunderstanding at all. As usuall for fluffy c-novel romance, ML was way too perfect. But I don't mind, sometimes I just like it with this kind of novel. A bit unrealistic? Of course, not in everyday of our life this kind of man will showed up, well perhaps it never exist. My husband is a bit of tsundere and... more>> yandere, for me his kind was will never be able to find, so of course with MC like in the novel, it is something is fun to know it only existed in a novel. But ots not a crime. Like I said, it was light reading, romcom novel. And it turned out, it wasn't rebirth. A bit of twist in a good way. You don't need to think to hard to read it. <<less

I’ve had mixed feels through this novel.

it started strong and for the first 20 or so chapters I had really been enjoying Qian Wei and her antics as she struggled to get Lu Xun together with his ‘White Moonlight’. But then things slowed, and it became somewhat boring as to me as this section seemed to drag and be a rinse and repeat kind of situation.

... more>>
Spoiler

Qian Wei was frustratingly repetitive not only in her thinking of Lu Xun (which personally for me, persisted far longer than it should have) and some of her actions where cringy worthy and I admit I skipped a few paragraphs as my second hand embarrassment was strong. And there were a number of time when I wanted to just give up on the novel because of Qian Wei.

[collapse]

But I’m glad I persisted, because the sweetness we got from 3/4 of the way through was worth it.

Spoiler

As soon as Lu Xun and Qian Wei began to date, the plot sped up, the humour and character growth in Qian Wei just flourished and it was a honestly enjoyable read. Especially Qian Wei’s growth. She flourished as a character - still kept her humour and quirky personality but watching her mature beside Lu Xun was worth all the previous second hand embarrassment.

[collapse]

I’m not sur how I feel about the plot twist in the 80 something chapter. Part of me was pretty dissapointed but as a reader it actually surprised me and actually made logical sense for her second chance.

Spoiler

The fact that it was all a drug induced dream/memory really did surprise me and while part of me really wanted to accompany QW and LX on their journey through university and the business. I did love the ending we got. LX is ultimate relationship partner goals. The fact he waited and watched over QW for 9 years and QW not ignoring one but two love letters did make me laugh out loud and sympathise with LX.

[collapse]

Overall, it was an enjoyable read - some some slow parts. But a general sweet, soft and short read with next to no real drama or triangles, if you just need something to put in some time or a pick me up. <<less

I highly recommend this one.
It really shows in an author's work if she is really knowledgeable with a subject and not just pretending to know things for the sake of the plot and that alone deserves a 5. Her characters are so funny, witty and competitive as expected of law students, and for the first time I read a story that really differentiates college students from high school ones. Smart-alecky. Youthful without too much innocence, mature enough without being boring. Even the side characters are glib to the point... more>> that it was funny. The MC is not the usual "prettiest or smartest" but is attractive enough and grounded enough that it took a while for her to realize she was being chased, and there's the ML who is the creme of the crop but who can be adorable and clueless in his pursuit... characters like these make a reader feel like "hey, im just like her, so I can have a swoon-worthy lovestory too, huh". The legal jargons may be a bit too much for my brain lol but that didn't stop me from reading it without pause. Smart story. Completely unexpected twist. Translation's good, too. Thank you. <<less

  1. This novel is hardwarming and has a good storyline so she just wants money but only at the beginning and people are complaining in other reviews she pursues money but as the story goes on she matures and it's just that she is shameless but this makes it better so the guy 2 post below me is wrong (Letplayhavo) that's his username
    Spoiler

    many people are complaining that that the MC is selfish but she has a change of character but it does have a lot of misunderstandings also the MC is in a coma and everything is a dream interpreted from real life events. She took a drug that messes with her memories so it added a few but most of it is truth and shows how she misunderstood the ML feelings
