One of the first novels I've read when I first discovered this site.

An enjoyable read, it made me feel like the story was too short and I wanted more. I really like the character development of the ML, even the MC's. I've recommended this story to a lot of my friends and family, they liked it too. Give this a try if you want a story with a not-so-pretty MC and a slightly-disfigured-former-hottie ML (though in my and the MC's opinion, he got more hotter when he became better as... more>> a person). <<less

I did not know I could laugh, smile and enjoy a story while tears keep falling from my eyes at the same time. I read this story twice but still it never failed to make me feel contradicting emotions. Such a wondeful story and wonderful translation.

Such an amazing story!

It might be short but very satisfying

The kindness and loyalty of FL to her master, the development of the ML and him making her the reason to work hard and grow as person, its just so sweet and refreshing

Such a sweet short story! I love the interesting and unique perspective of the maid and how the two leads changed throughout all the different situations they were put through. What I loved most was how everything ties together nicely at the end. *Silent tears drip* LOVE IT!!! &Lt;3

This is the first time I read chinese novel. And I am not disappointed.

Very good writing. The flow is nice. And the characters' developments was the best. The story doesn't have unnecessary drama and focus to just the two MCs. The romance is not cheesy but you really can feel it. It is much much better than those romance novels I've read.

Totally recommended

I love the fact that it was a short story because then, the author focused on the story and not unnecessary word count.

I love the MC though I’m sad that there wasn’t much character development. And if there was, it was very small that I didn’t notice. However I like her enough as she is. A strong woman. One who didn’t run away from a challenge but rise up to it and tackling it headon.

The ML, oh so loveable. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a jerk sure, at the beginning.... more>> He frol**ked around with many women and the MC was his whipping boy. But remember, it’s a short story so that side of ML doesn’t stick around for long. Then you get to see the new side of ML and how he changed and such. He definitely developed as a character. And after recovering, he didn’t think to just survive alone. No, he wanted to restore the family. This was previously a man who only enjoyed life but now have become a man that actually works!

And I love that there isn’t no enemies. The challenges they face are I don’t know what to called it, heavens’ wills? Life challenges? Yes yes there was a man that came to kick ML while he was down but in his view, he was justified but he even got a little bit of redemption in the end. The ML acknowledged his wrong and apologized and the man seem to have accepted it and understood what he did wrong so I can’t hate the foe too.

And if there was anyone out to get their family, it was unknown people and wasn’t important. It focus on MC and ML as they tried to survived together.

Basically, I love the story and it was cute and heartwarming. <<less

I love this one, it's pretty short, probably will leave you crying for more
it starts out pretty roughaveragely, and grows sweeter as you read. A dash of angst and swoony male lead..

moderate spoilers ahead

Don't be fooled by the cover okay! It's not centered to face slapping, not at all, it's all fluffy romance
True core is of course the female lead: weak, average looking, simple, humble (being a non-noble), and her heart is true.
She turned this story around. (A real rare normal female lead!)
... more>>
Spoiler

I love her, despite not being OP/elegant/drop-dead gorgeous/tall, and rich/successful. She demonstrated the power of love and support (not to be mistaken as being doormat.... she's masochist.. I think). Because we are reading from her point of view, we can read her thoughts too, and I laugh at some of them. Also I'm sure most reviews mentioned all this, but the omission of other povs made me like this novel even more

[collapse]
makes it easier to put yourself on her shoes, while analysing every single detail she noted
Spoiler

MC-ML's love grows over time and changed them... living while leaning on each other is very touching..

[collapse]
feel free to read this in public, there's no nsfw, only onion ninja
even now my heart squeezes thinking back to some of the passages <<less

First off, I cried a river. Not because this story was sad per se but because there were some important life lessons this story taught us like unconditional love and perseverance to name a few. Both the main characters were sweet and it was nice to read about them growing together and giving each other strength. If you're bored and just want a nice short story to read, I would recommend this one. It's definitely worth your time!

A short story. It is so touching and nice. HE. But you will shed a tear or two.

She is maid by his side and goes unnoticed until something big happens to him and proves her might to him. I love how he lives though the saying, ‘When life gives you lemon, make lemonade.’ Not everyone has that kind of strength. Not everyone can be as accepting as her either.

Short and sweet. Not everything is spelled out because we only get to see the MC's point of view. But guessing what really happened that was beyond the MC's awareness was also nice. Even if it's not spelled out, I can see when they fell in love and that's almost sweeter than being told.

Lovely story about two lovely characters. It's about loyalty, second changes, and perseverance.

Okay, the plot is smooth, the characters developed, and it is a happy ending. The only thing that annoyed me is the weak female lead and the a** hole male lead. Sometimes a female lead being weak is fine as long as it serves the plot, but the way the male lead ended up being so easily forgiven (yes, I still think the male lead got better than he deserved) was a teeny tiny bit irritating. I left the story with a stuffy chest since I had nowhere to vent... more>> my frustration with the female and male lead, but the overall romance is satisfactory even though I was hoping for more. <<less

It's a very good and heart warming story. Both of the protagonists are likeable. I guarantee it will make you weep, from both sadness and happiness.

This is the most mature stories I've read so far on this website. Now we have some Real character flaws and Real character development.

I was reading this on the BART and had to take breaks to choke back tears. Though the ending is a happy one, the whole story was really serious. This is not a very light read, despite its curt length. But honestly, this is one of the best stories I've read so far on this website. The translation is top-notch, as well.

A very cute story that doesn't drag out like a lot of Chinese novel but have all the impact that require you to feel attached and at one point cry over the story. Kind of remind me of those sad drama in the old day when I'm still innocent and cry at the smallest things, but for a short story to make a grown man who have watched shitload of anime, drama, and movies and read shitload of novel, manga, and books, to cry is impressive by itself. As you... more>> read on, you get to learn all the nice characteristic of the character and start to understand why they feel that way. So read this and enjoy the slice of life story that make you want more but at the same time accept the ending for what it is..... <<less

This was nice. I thank NU's Random Generator for pushing this on me. Here's to others who find their way here!

Well, review? I like the progression. One may think it's fast, but this isn't a story that's supposed to be long. It has potential to be lengthened, but even then it would probably end around a hundred chapters. I'd say it's fine with this length as it manages to properly convey the ideas behind its creation.

An other one of those short stories that are well worth reading.

It's not flawless, and the characters are a bit forced, but it is very good at conveying the story.

Not to mention it's short, with 7 fairly short chapters, so even if you end up not liking it, you would only have taken 1-2 hours of your time.
