My 3rd novel reading from the universe. Overall, the novel is somewhat similar to the other, it's cute and fluffy without any troublesome. The plot is simple, no much drama.

I skipped some of the epilogue. Overall, it's a good light reading :)

Not bad. Their relationship progressed slowly enough that it didn't feel like love at first sight and yet fast enough that it didn't feel like it was dragged out by misunderstandings or unnecessary drama. I appreciate that for the most part the story didn't have any. The only thing I will say is that the MC is a lil too OP, like she got too amazing too quickly, but oh well it was still okay. I would've liked to see more of the friendships in the story.

Also, I absolutely did... more>> not read that last extra, hmph.
Spoiler

Gu Xin x Sima XiaoXiao!!! And they'll have a baby for Qiao MuHan!!!

Fluffy, lighthearted, and saccharine sweet. Not a bad love story in the beginning, but very quickly loses dramatic tension and becomes nauseatingly monotonous in its lovey-dovey atmosphere after the relationship successfully launches.

Sweet, but hard to care about characters. They pretty much embody easy mode.

Cute, fluffy, and a lovely read. I'm not one for overly sweet or cheesy novels, but despite the showbiz factor there was something endearingly genuine about this one. I smiled through the whole thing.

Went and read the raw using Google translation, the ending was good! I enjoyed it but also wished there was a bit more drama to the story. But overall the novel is good and I think the couple are cute!

It really is the story of the most PDA spreaders...

While reading CEO Song and Pei Ying's story, I read one netizen's comment on the story that Yicheng and Mengmeng spread more sugar. And I admit it 🥹🥹

Our ML is one of the most shameless Chesnut characters 😭😭🥹🥹 really!!! He chases after his wife so epically! Of course he's our best producer!!!

This is a Showbiz story set in romance, because from the beginning of the story the author describes Mengmeng's struggle to become an amazing singer. But it's worth it, their... more>> way of getting together is so sweet, our Yicheng is consistent with his glamor 🥹🥹

Contract marriage, I was worried at first, there will be strange unpleasant things! But that problem was solved very sweetly 🫶🫶

There are no overly annoying characters in this story. It was really the kind of light story that makes you want to have fun. For some people, try to read reviews with high stars, because sometimes the reason someone gave 1 star doesn't make sense.

And thanks to the translator's hard work to finish this story 🫶 <<less

i dropped this at chap 45, same reason with another reviews saying its coercion and im not comfortable with it. But then I picked it up one month later to give it another chance bcs the rate is higher than average so im curious as to why. But still, FL is overly passive ... more>>
Spoiler

she is more like give in to ml's desire, and didnt enjoy it. Whereas it should be both sides

[collapse]
the other reason bcs I think this story lacks of research. I don't see a taurus traits at all, except for liking snacks. Its like the author casually found taurus is a foodie so they just put her as taurus. <<less

Everything in the story was natural and going in great development until their marriage came out in public.

I wonder what the author was thinking using that kind of method when their marriage come out. Suddenly forcefully inserting an unreasonably hateable character in the scene just to start a conflict made it lame and unnatural. It lacked creativity, though I know the story is pretty cliche. It was hard continuing the story after that.

I would have rated this 5 star if not because of that.

But of course the translation is a... more>> 10/10. The translator is so informative and did a lot of research which I highly appreciate. <<less

As expected of Chestnut's novels, I'd say. The fluffs are to be expected, but what amazed me is the music world here. I actually wished to hear the songs here while reading the novel and I was amazed by how the writer wrote her grand final at the competition. Truly good stuffs.

Sweet cute light-hearted romance starting from when they were already adults. ML is a tyrant at work but sweet (and later pe*verted) at home. Feelings were not really mentioned, so it was unclear how they ended up falling in love, and it's pure speculation on our part, but otherwise it is quite cute. It felt more like a "natural progression of things since we're already married" rather than actually falling in love though. Overall, decent light read for some fluff.

It is a beautiful and heart warming story. 🤠 (there are some parts which will annoy you, the parts are of ML...😏)

It is a interesting story with great plot. I might guarantee you will like it if you enjoy this types of genres.

I remember, that I read a comment " this story feels interesting from the first chapter and you will get urge to know what happens next"

I feel that, that comment justify it after I read it. 🙂

Going to read it again after some months...

The synopsis didn't really strayed off of the novel's plot and nature. I guess I was a bit (just a bit) disappointed because I initially thought the story's timeline would start around their middle school time.

I'm actually not sure of what I feel. I find it boring but the kind that still made me want to see it through its ending. There's not really enough character development between the characters. Idk if the improvement in skills count but regarding the overall character and personality, I didn't see it. They're both... more>> steady. In the aspect of romance, I'm quite disatisfied with how the 'love' was not properly established. In my opinion, they're not really childhood sweethearts but just close friends. The few extras from the time of their middle school era also didn't show that romantic feel so I expected them to grow some awareness by the time of their marriage BUT it kind of went like a chapter have passed and ML suddenly love her. Excuse me??? There's not even much interaction that can support it. He just suddenly showed jealousy out of nowhere and then starts loving her. They didn't even interact that much to trigger those emotions in my opinion. Then Ding Meng just also kind of went through with it. Sigh.

I would've understood it if the author outright clarified that they're childhood sweethearts, or if the author clarified Yichen being in love. However, the author never really clarified it. The extras were also not reliable in that aspect. I also think that Ding Meng's career went too smoothly and the only hurdle that can be considered to be a challenge was the marriage being exposed. She's an overachiever for a rookie singer who just months ago was learning the basics.

Anywayyyyy if you're looking for something light then go for this but I suggest that you don't expect for well polished details, drama, and even love rivalry bec it doesn't exist. <<less

the story is hilarious. The MCs interactions gave so much laugh.

it's lighthearted and funny. No angst whatsoever. Multiple time I'd thought that some character would create drama but nope. Also romance has no build up.

Honestly this is okay... but after all reading I think 8 chestnut novels.. is that my head aches for that parents force their children to marry trope... and that arrange marriage or marriage for convience.. they treat this only for fun and parents who force their children to get married is so toxic. They wish that their children will be happy but they are more likely to be a divorcee after a useless marriage..🙄🙄

Really my head aches reading this kind of repetetive troupe. Fluff scenes it could be good but... more>> not the toxic parents <<less

I didn't dislike this book, but more so felt that a lot of the romantic scenes towards the start of the relationship were very creepy and forced. The ML forces himself on the FL, and then says, 'ooh, sorry, I couldn't control myself' after forcefully kissing her until she literally has to kick him off her. The FL bites the ML's lips so that he will stop kissing her, and then he tries to guilt her into sleeping with him?! It annoyed me even more that nobody else in the... more>> comments or reviews has pointed out how creepy this is, instead they talked about how it 'finally happened' and 'well done ML, congrats!!' as if it was something to celebrate. I understand that they were in a contract marriage, but that does not justify the ML coercing the FL into doing stuff she wasn't comfortable doing. <<less

While reading this, I kept reminded of Le Coup de Foudre. The whole classmate and deskmate thing. One a genius and another a bit slow in study. It also reminded me of Go Go Squid. Because I'm still not sure since when they both fell in love with each other.

But overall and afterall, I like this kind of sweet and slow building love story. (♡ω♡) ~♪

A good story to read full of fun moments. I read the other two books with same universe (Just blame me for being blind in the beginning and Hear my heart my world falls into the river of love). These are the stories with less dramas just into my liking😊
