Description

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

After recently taking on the job as the President of Jing Sheng Group’s assistant, she reports to the president, who has also just taken office, for work.

“Tomorrow morning, postpone all the meetings. At 9 o’clock, follow me to the civil administration office to receive the license.”

On the first day of work, she already encountered an overbearing president that is forcing her to receive the license. Should she resist or obey?

At night, a certain someone leans on the edge of the door, saying in a light and lazy manner: “Madam, I want to turn off the lights. Are you sure you want to go to sleep wrapped like a steamed dumpling while holding a knife?”

“Either that or you can go out to sleep!”

“Impossible, this is my home!”

“During the day, you transferred the house to me. So now it’s my home!”

It took about 3 days to finish reading all the MTL of this series. The entire story spans multiple couples mostly focusing on Jing Yichen's family line, his close family and friends, and then his children with some random side characters.
... more>>
Spoiler

The first main couple were quite interesting and featured a male lead with a deep dark and gloomy past, whereas the heroine was the typical family bullied Cinderella type. How they hook up and get married is quite fast, but the romance and action was quite entertaining. As for the other couples of this generation, the romantic couples provide a nice variety of stereotypes. From a genius doctor chasing his ex-girlfriend over a decade long, to a brother and adopted sister love, and a narcissistic bastard and a cold blooded assassin. There's a lot of intrigue and mystery regarding Jing Yichen's past and even the heroine's mother's death. Everything gets resolved and all the couples get their happy endings in this generation.

The next generation romance focuses mostly on Jing Yichen's family line of his 2 children and their cousin, along with some random couples. The romance here was a varied as the previous generation, however, they didn't really have the same emotional intensity. All the romance was a bit on the mediocre side.

Overall, all the romance was just a bit on the mediocre side. Some potential romances for some side characters weren't fully given a conclusion so sometimes the story seemed a bit on the choppy side. The romance was often times very abrupt as well. The story lines were sometimes to unbelievable even for a contemporary fiction. Some parts had their moments and for the most part it kept me interested enough to finish reading all the way to the end.

The finale was a bit haphazard, I would have thought the author would write a sweeter and more heartfelt ending, but it seemed like the author just wanted to complete all the couples and end the story as soon as possible.

All the main couples end in happy ending and all the mysteries get resolved.

Pros:

*Finally, an MC who isn't a celebrity, but her sister is

*She fights when she needs to

... more>> *Well translated

Cons:

*Too much bad things happening to her. Chapters 1-50-ish was just her getting hospitalized

*She was forced to marry ML by ML, and I expected her to be mad about it like a normal person would, but she just accepts it! When she wasn't even sure of her feelings yet! She's supposed to be smart! And then she finds out he's been lying to her all along and forgives him too fast anyway. Despiter her constantly calling her mother an idiot for being gullible. The apple didn't fall too far from the tree, I see.

*Villains are f*cking s*upid. Like, do they have no other motivation than circle around MC and make her life a living hell? Have a life dude. I know this is a novel, but half the fun of stories are the villains, if you make then too s*upid, then the MCs are not too smart either.

*Too many red warning signs. MLs obsession constantly justified and was described as 'warm' by FL, when he is in fact stalker-ish. His only difference with the first villain was that he's rich and handsome and not violent to her (but he is to others)

*The author keeps rambling on and on about things the readers already knew. Spoon-feeds readers rather then 'showing' the character's personality and then character acts the exact opposite of his/her supposed personality. I hate this type of writing the most.

*ML is MARY SUE!!!

And he's cold but somehow his eyes are warm when he looks at her? Make up your mind author!!! He's basically Superman who can't fly and his bodyguards are the justice league. *The side characters are sooo boring, and childish <<less

Pros:
Spoiler

MC will fight! She's got a sharp tongue and a clever mind. I wish I can keep calm while scolding people like she does. She's definitely not an empty vase.

There are more than 1 "good" female characters!! Let's be honest, who here is disappointed when all other female characters introduced into a story are horrible people that only serve to exalt the main character? I was sooo damn happy that she has a best friend who is a woman! And the BF sounds super cute!

Writing and pacing are good. Translations are also good.

[collapse]

Cons:
Spoiler

Typical "you don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful" song and dance (yes, I just OneDirectioned this review).

Typical "cold, blackbellied handsome man falls for beauty because she's different or something like that" routine.

Typical "white lotus female relative steals fiancee, heartless mother or father figure schemes against protagonist" drama.

[collapse]

But still giving it 5 stars because it's so much fun! I'll change my ratings as more chapters come out if I feel like the story dropped (like how HM started as a 4 star and ended as a 2 star for me).

Read the spoilers. Seems to get more and more unrealistic and violent. A shame because the beginning was somewhat decent (for this kind of story). Just because someone did something horrible and violent to the FL doesn't mean that she can react in a violent way, okay? Example:

    • Step-mother pours boiling water on her face. FL pours an entire kettle-full of water on her step-mother.
You would go to jail for that. There is no way to justify that as reasonable self defence. Don't go starry-eyed thinking that the FL can finally defend herself - question why you think it is acceptable for

anyone to pour boiling water on someone.

From then on it just seems to drag on in a series of repetitive and never-ending schemes and tricks and you-did-this-so-I'm-gonna-do-that.

This is my very first review here in NU. I really do like the heroine cause it's difficult to forget someone whom you'd given time and affection, but she really did her best to get over him and tried her outmost best not to concern herself with her family's antics. Sadly, her family seems like an amoeba.

The story is good and so is the translation.

... more>>
Spoiler

it's just that I didn't expect the story to proceed in that way. The story was compose of different arcs from the leads, his brother, their friends and even their son, daughter and nephew. In short it's a love story from first and second generation of their families. It also involve killers, drugs, infertility and brainwashing.

I must say that the author knows how to construct his/her story that it flows naturally. And you'll definitely enjoy reading it.

written at c53

Will edit the review when I read more, but for now I have a good first impression because I like the fact that instead of the usual cat-and-mouse game that happens between MC and ML where half the novel is in the "ambiguous phase" of the relationship, in this one ML basically just short of kidnapps MC and has her write the marriage certificate in the first 5% of the novel after knowing her for less than a month. Sure, now they still have to get their actual... more>> deeper relationship going, but being freshly married I assume a lot of the "usual drama" will play out quite differently in this novel. Anyways an interesting premise IMO.

So if you're looking for a novel with a decisive black-bellied male-yandere overbearing president ML, this one has that particular trope down to a T.

edit c160

ok I see the problems other users pointed out in their reviews now.

the most annoying thing is that MC is basically to s*upid to take care of herself but still VOLUNTARILY charges into danger at every given opportunity and ML has to heroically show up at the last opportunity to bail her out.

Spoiler

Imagine if instead of just getting Kidnapped, Bowser regularly invites Princess Peach to a Birthday party or something, and Princess Peach accepts and goes out ON HER OWN without Mario directly to Bowsers Castle, where she gets captured and have Mario come and save her...

... only for her to learn absolutely nothing and just happily accept Bowsers next invitation and stroll to his castle ALL ALONE, again, and again, and again.

[collapse]

At this point ML should step up in his overbearing male-yandere game and just lock her up at home in a golden cage and throw away the key, and only let her out again in a few years after he has dealt with everyone who could potentially wish harm or scheme against MC. I usually like it if even the Yandere-ML gives MC a bit of freedom and allows her to make her own desicions, but in this case it would really be for her own good if she got "the beloved, but kind of ret*rded pet better kept at home or on a short leash" treatment. <<less

Unlike the other reviewers, I don't really like the FL. Most of the comments about her about how smart and strong she is but I think she has quiet a few dumb moments where she's too soft hearted.

Example 1:

... more>>
Spoiler

Background Information:

FL's mother and uncle (from dad side) started up a company. With her mother investing in 5 million to get 90% of the shares. That was 20+ years ago. About 10+ years ago when FL was 10 her mother died, her father and uncle convinced her to hand over the shares for 5 million. Since then she had no contact with her uncle.

Few chapters ago investigation showed her father hired someone to r*pe her. But she believed that isn't true because he is likely to make use of her and sell her to someone for benefit then destroy her. But her father did however not investigate who hired and paid 1 million for someone to r*pe her due to not wanting to ruin is reputation.

Scenario:

Her uncle and father said for her to meet up with a rich guy and have a meal otherwise the company that her mother invested in would be bankrupt. She didn't want her mothers hard work to be wasted so she just went? No protection what so ever. Author gave her some intelligence, letting her figure out why and who the rich guy was. But if it wasn't for her husband showing up she would've been r*ped.

Then her father and half sister (neither of which she gets along, both of which hate her) invited her to the half sisters engagement. She just went?? No protection. This time she got injected with meds, if her husband didn't show up they were going to take her to the hotel room there and give her to the rich guy to r*pe.

[collapse]

Example 2:

Spoiler

Background Information:

Rich girl with princess syndrome who had just been insulted by her a few days ago called and invited her to her birthday. She knew that her birthday was months ago but because rich girl used her cousin (who's always despised her, cousins mother with cousin also hired someone to come forcefully r*pe and marry her which husband saved her in time).

Scenerio:

She just went. When rich guy said that there were four girls who planned to invite her here to humiliate her, her cousin included, she gave her cousin the benefit of the doubt and by herself suffered humiliation to save her cousin from being r*ped. Only for her to suffer humiliation and her cousin to laugh at her.

[collapse]

At only 1/8 of the novel she has encountered at least 5 r*pe attempts. <<less

I like this story a lot and would like to give a review on a few characters.

Jing Yichen (ML)

He's not that bad except for the fact that he is very ruthless and cold blooded that he can kill without a second glance.
Spoiler

I just don't like how he forced her to marry him. He is also easily jealous and values his wife more than anything in his life, be it his company, family or life. He has a very sad past and I really don't like his family especially his grandmother. She's the reason why he has a scum half brother that he has to deal with everyday because she didn't want to abort a child from a mistress that is a boy.

[collapse]

Shuangguan Ning (FL)

I liked her character in the beginning, she was rational and cool headed. But as time went on, she has become more like her husband and also sometimes acts like she only has 3 brain cells.
Spoiler

She keeps visiting her family even though she knows that they don't mean well and every time, she ends up either injured or emotionally drained, but she keeps going back. I despise the way she spends so much time in the past trying to avenge her dead mother but it literally has no use. She should just leave her family and let them suffer by themselves but as I said before she acts like she has only 3 brain cells. Still like her tho, she's kind and pure hearted.

[collapse]

Zhao Anan (Best Friend)

Spoiler

I like her and I feel very sad for her because she can't be with the man she loves because she has ovarian cancer and is probably infertile. Her character is very outgoing and cheerful and I really love her. She's also the FL's matchmaker and was the one who brought the FL and ML together.

[collapse]

Mu Qing (Best Friend)

He's very nice and he's also a genius doctor that comes to the rescue anytime the FL's health is in danger. I feel a bit sad for him because he's always being tortured by the ML who threatens him all the time.
Spoiler

He is also very pitiful because the woman he loves has ovarian cancer and doesn't want to be with him because she cares about him. But he is also like the ML in that he is very forceful with her (FL's best friend.) and even one time forces her to sleep with him. (I'm not sure if I want to call it r*pe because she complies later but I guess you can call it r*pe)

[collapse]

Jing Yiran (Main Male Villain)

Spoiler

The main male villain is the ML's half brother. He is what the book describes as a love child meaning he was born out of wedlock. His mother shows up at the family door with a big belly and the ML's mother is too shocked and dies at some point. Due to that, ML's father feels very guilty because he apparently loved his wife but now he has another child so he marries the other woman and the Jing Yiran (main male villain) becomes legitimate. I don't really understand this part well, because the book states the the Jing Yiran mother used under handed tricks to get pregnant which suggests that the ML's dad was drugged. It doesn't matter that the Jing Yiran has now become legitimate because the ML inherits everything while Jing Yiran just gets the family name and the title Second Master. The Jing Yiran is very bitter about his position in his family because his father doesn't love him, his mother only cares about money and no matter how hard he tries, he is always inferior to his half brother. As revenge he sets his eyes on his sister-in-law and unknowingly falls for her.

[collapse]

Shuangguan Rouxue and Tang Yun (Main Female Villains)

Spoiler

There are two MFVs in this story, namely the FL's half sister, Shuangguan Rouxue, also a love child, and Tang Yun, the ML's saviour. I'm not sure if Tang Yun counts as a MFV because right now she's been sent back abroad but I think she'll be back. Shuangguan Rouxue is a green tea bit*h and I hate her to the core. She is very vicious and seems to have an obsession with wanting to sleep with her brother in laws. She deserves everything that is coming to her because just for the sake of power she is willing to disregard anything and everything, including her own child. Tang Yun on the other hand is like an annoying c*ckroach. She saved the ML's life once and now thinks that she deserves the world because of it. The ML is also very reluctant to make her suffer because she saved his life once and he's trying to repay her but she steps over the line every single time.

[collapse]

Things that make me go ???

Spoiler

The violence. There is so much stabbing and killing that just becomes ignored. The ML bombs three buildings at one point and everyone is okay with it. He even shoots ups multiple places and no one says anything and they just cower. The FL also forces her father and stepmother to commit su*cide but she still stabs her step mother before she dies which make me wonder where she got the courage to stab people. The Jing Family are like gods in that city and even the law has to bend to them which makes no sense at all.

It is very similar to other modern romance chinese novels. I will list below the unique points of this story:

*female lead had a job that is not from the entertainment industry

*she is not reincarnated. She wanted a new beginning but her family members are f*ckers so they keep going against her.

... more>> *the male lead is not only some iceblock. He shows some emotion such as anger to other people. He became very expressive when female lead showed up and people are shocked of his change.

Now in this part, I will write the common tropes:

*male lead is from a prestigious family and owns a multi billion company.

*he forces female lead to marry him

*the white lotus half sister and greedy half brother

*the god defying medical skill

* the usage of aphrodisiacs again and again and again

REASON why I dropped this story:
Spoiler

the hypocritical action of the leads (female lead and her besft friend) using drugs to a man so she can help her friend snag him even though said friend and man (also a friend) are siblings by law (their female friend is adopted). Friend (adopted sister) and man are in love with each other but the man doesn't want to disappoint his mother so he went and found a gf who is his close friend. Gf is a good girl and knows that guy doesn't like her but she is not some pushover that will give up just because the female lead told her to. She wants to get married to the guy because it is difficult for her to find someone on the same wavelength in her job as a policewoman. She is not a snob or a b*tch. The female lead's best friend beat the gf up because she wanted the gf to give way for the sister 🤡🤡🤡. Gf said that if the guy wanted to break up with her, she would let him but she will not give up first. So female lead and best friend plans to drug the guy so he will give in to his desire for his sister (adopted) and I just find it so hypocritical of them because the female lead has been drugged at least 3 times in this story but now she is using it to help the sister (who, by this time in the story, has no redeemable trait aside from being a frail beauty who all men will care for) 🤮🤮🤮

[collapse]

Tbf, the stort was really good in the beginning before all the drama started. But then the male lead's half brother kept going against them and using aphrodisiacs failure after failure and it was so annoying because it almost seems like the author has no other idea other than using aphrodisiacs. I also got super angry because the female lead and her best friend are hypocrites. The author paints them as angels who can do no wrong in the eyes of their men but their ways are almost as bad as the villains. Sure they can get angry and hit back if somebody does it to them
Spoiler

but to drug their own friend is downright low.

I like the MC in this novel so far. Though,
Spoiler

Jing Yi Ran is starting to get on my nerves. He is so obssessed with the MC. In an unhealthy way too.

This man needs to be sent to a mental institution. ASAP. Too bad, most of his family isn’t aware that they are harboring a psycho in their house.

I like it so far. The quality of the translation is good. The story flows beautifully in each chapter, the author is not dragging out one scenario that it will lasted few chapters until you became so exasperated with it. The story in each chapter not only good, but also longer.

This isn't a bad story. The ML and FL are likable and have such a sweet loving relationships. There were no misunderstandings at this point as they actually talk things through. Hurrah!!! Finally a relationship that relies on trust and communication. However, there were several points that made me drop this. One of which is the violence and death. I don't understand how the people could even get away with all that stabbing and trying to kill each other.

... more>>
Spoiler
  1. ML and his half-brother - They were always trying to kill each other, but the surrounding people were just spectators to it. Even the father turned a blind eye to it as long as they didn't really kill each other. Although the father wants them to stop, he never actively does anything to stop them.
  2. Zhao Anan and Tang Yun - It is said they they would beat each other every time they met and would even stab the other. Wouldn't someone have intervened? Why would they just let it go? Especially since Zhao Anan was from an elite family and Tang Yun (well, there was no mention of her background as of yet, but I don't think she has any except a supporter?) was only a maniac woman after the ML Wouldn't she have been put under a retraining order or something?
  3. FL's indifference towards her father and step-mother in getting them to kill themselves. I understand why due to the things she suffered, but when she stabbed her step-mother, it was like she had done it her whole life. Wasn't she supposed to be an ordinary person, just the daughter of a Deputy-Mayor? When did she become someone ok with stabbing people?
  4. FL's half-sister - She gets away with a lot of things despite the ML being all so powerful. WTF? Even the sister's fiancé gets duped and lied by her despite him being from a relatively wealthy family. Couldn't he have investigated her a little when it would have been obvious. Even asking her ex-friends would have sufficed since she had sent letters to them and several women to stay away from him. How could she had even gotten away with cheating on him and trying to become an actress? None of it was explained.
  5. The ML's family - Apparently, they are powerful enough to bomb an entire family and that's ok. Is there something wrong with this? I think so. How could they just get away with it and decide people's fate as if they were the law? Again, not explained. Just that they were capable. So killing people was ok. And the law, even if they knew, did nothing.
[collapse]

Just these points alone got me so confused. I would have read more, but it became too much. But if you disregard the above and only focused on the romance, then keep on reading. For me, it too far from reality that I couldn't continue.
Spoiler

What person would torture someone at a hospital and nobody would care or notice despite all the screaming?

[collapse]
I guess I anticipated a more realistic storyline and/or explanation since it in a modern setting. Unfortunately, the power struggles and violence were getting too out of hand in their lack of explanation. <<less

it's refreshing to see a level-headed female MC in a modern setting since I get enough smart mc's in historical settings already :D. I also think the main MC has a lot of potential for development as the story establishes early on of her insecurities, but also of her capabilities to be a better version of herself (in terms of confidence and love). The ML is dashing and I can't wait to see him slowly fall for the MC and sweep her off her feet!!

I'm torn between 4 or 5 but because I'm still kind of frustrated (partly because I'm reading through google translate and the rest...) so it'll be 4 until a bit later.

... more>>
Spoiler

The female lead is typical and XD has aptly described her as 'you don't know you're beautiful, and that's what makes you beautiful'. Kind, loyal, slightly Mary Sue but you can't help but respect her since she wasn't the type to rely on the male lead or her friends even when your mind is probably yelling for her to. Male lead is cold, awkward and pretty much married the FL against her will but he genuinely cares for her. You have the typical villainous family who will stop at nothing to ruin her but then you have the kind uncle and non-villainous female supporting characters. The villains make you hate them, seriously. If I'm reading it right, they're on the level of Li Yao Yao (Demonic King Chases his Wife) and above Ning Xueluo (Hidden Marriage).

The story is frustrating for me at the start since the female lead was so helpless in her circumstances and certain things like the incident at the uni had me groaning because it's just going to come back to bite her in the future. The good thing is that it doesn't take 700 chapters for the ML and FL to get together.
