There's nothing amazing about this story. It's a cliches on top of one another but it's not that bad to the point I want to slam my head against the desk. It's definitely not as bad as all the one-star ratings seems, but not as good as the five-star ratings make it out to be.

  • MC seems kind of indecisive which I don't like and ML just seems like a douche, the classic 'overbearing' type that Qidian seems to have a thing for.
    Spoiler

    For example, he tries to block her from meeting her first love constantly which I don't understand because he's literally drawn the line between the two (MC/ML) as only friends since ML is still cares for his first love at that point? (he fell for her because they slept together when he was drunk because she had a soft voice or something like that; who wants to bet that it was the MC that he actually slept with and not the other girl he thinks)

    [collapse]
  • Plot: seems bland and there's not much to keep me hooked apart from seeing what is so compelling about the ML that the MC likes him.
Spoiler

Also MTL'd so I would be able to figure out why the ML is such an a-hole. 157 chapters in and the only thing ML has just realised is that he's fallen for MC. This is of course after 40 wholesome chapters of him getting super upset over MC's interactions with the second ML.

[collapse]

  • Characters: I definitely have respect for MC for putting up with ML the entire time. ML is one-dimesional (has some moments but in comparison to his bad ones, completely cancels out) and so is the majority of the characters. The only person I really liked enough to keep going and rate the story as 3/5 instead of 2/5 is the second male lead. Seriously, he's the best. I hope he finds happiness with or without FL...
tldr; Cliche story about childhood friends (ML = overbearing, rich, president type while MC = indecisive, plain Mary Sue) who have secretly fallen in love with each other and are forced together to marry (157 chapters in and there hasn't been much mentioned in relation to the description given).

Rating: 2/5 but second ML makes it a 3/5

Would I recommend: Only if you're bored OR have a thing for these kind of tropes... or maybe you want to read a Qidian story...

Nope...I have read many Chinese novels in this genre but this just doesn't do it to me.. first ML acts idiotically. Then he tries to express his love but FL is making excuses in her head for everything nice he does. This couple will never go anywhere...

So much angst. This was not an easy ready for me so I had to drop it. The male and female leads are both unnecessarily s*upid when it comes to each other's lives and there are so many misunderstandings! Arghhh the over the top miscommunications are too much I want to cry. And to top it off the male lead is a super jerk.

Pretty ok read to pass time with. It isn't as triggering as other stories of such genres, wherein the misunderstandings are mainly contained between the FL and ML. Initially FL is insecure and dare not confess her unrequited feelings for ML. I do not blame her as ML's actions repeatedly discourage her from doing so. Side characters do not take center stage much and serve as background noise. This is a bonus for me as I've long grown tired of stories w extensive focus on redundant characters.

I had a very strong case of second lead syndrome reading this novel. It's almost unbearable how terrible the lead couple's communication skills are that they keep misunderstanding each other time after time. I got major anxiety just reading about it.

I get how the childhood rivalry can cause people to speak harshly to each other but for him to keep calling her "s*upid woman" (even after marriage) is just abusive. It's also crazy how she admits that she finds it endearing. She should have just let go of her feelings... more>> and start fresh with the second lead.

In short, I don't reccomended this story unless you like getting anxiety and have absolutely nothing better to do. <<less

I like overbearing, jealous and selfish handsom3 president with smart beautiful wife, and whole bunch stories of the sidekicks (aka best friends of ML and FL). Perhaps the first 300 chapters depicted the struggling for both FL and ML, especially FL such sacrifice of emotion and energy to maintain the patience towards ML. And ML finally noticed his feelin for FL.

... more>>
Spoiler

But need not fret, the ML would be such a lovey dovey couple. And almost all the characters eventho had their own difficulties, finally united. A bit sad for Su Yan and Xi Yanting, they werent together at the end.

[collapse]

I think the stories not all cliches, because the author open tidbits here and there about the FL, ML and other characters. And the angst, it was enough for me to really shed tears for love story of Su Yue and Jiao Chen. <<less

I love this novel very much. I read it over and over again. Yan Rusheng is so cute, I want to have a husband like him.

I need the sequel which tell us about the live of the 2nd generation: Yan twin sibling, Lu triplet and Ming sibling.

It's a slow burner for the first 100 chapters but it's necessery to build the story and characters. As it was progressing, it made a heart wrenching stories. And I consider it a good novel when the author could make the readers felt their heart hurts just like how the characters hurts. I shed tears for Xuxu when she fall out with Ah Sheng. And I cried my heart out when I read about Su Yue x Jiao Chen. I know a lot of people gave low stars. But I... more>> think it depends on your mood at that time. If you are looking for funny smut novel, right from the start well you should try Hidden Marriage. But if you are feeling good and wants to read a soul fun romance, give this novel a chance.

But I can promised you on the next 300 chapters, this novel become so much fun and hilarious. If you are patient enough to take this journey, then please all aboard. There is a lot of smut moments too and overall I am enjoying it a lot.

I also loved others pairs Su Yue x Ah Sheng, Su Yue x Jiao Chen, Lu Yinan x Zhou Shuang, etc. <<less

I'm giving this story 4 stars because a lot of people have given it a low rating and I understand them especially when the main leads so frustrating and the snow ball of misunderstanding keeps rolling on and on till it becomes the giant elephant in the room but they decide to ignore it and go on like everything is fine. For first few hundred chapters it was really annoying and frustrating but I got used to it and was really curious how they would resolve the conflict but I... more>> feel like slamming head cause thing go bad worse and on and on.... At this point m just wondering why the writer keeps insisting they are very similar when they are never on the same wave lengths of communication. They are like parallel lines that keep extending but will never meet half way. I'm just reading this book to see how they'll make it work and how they'll resolve the mess of their relationship. If I don't get a proper details of events like how the writer is stretching their misunderstanding and see that each of their problems getting resolved in acceptable manner then m coming back to change my rating. Diss the story but it is not badly written in a sense it has got me hooked even when I feel anguished and god the way both of them keep saying they wish to rip apart their heart to see what exactly is inside it, I also feel like I really need to rip apart to see what exactly is inside their brain for me to understand their behaviour. <<less

I like the story of Yan Rusheng and Wen Xuxu. I also like the story of Ming Ansheng and Suyue. I felt sad for Jiao Chen when he died. I could even accept him as SuYue's partner. I dont dont what happened to the traitor dorm mate of SuYue. Uts her fault why there was an accident in the first place. I dont like Shuang and Lu Yinan's story. I felt it was pathetic to be mad at him just because she heard Yinna said to save the 3 babies... more>> when she was giving birth and havent heard everything. Duhh, you are a mom would you like it if he said, save you and let the 3 kids die? Would you love him more? For 5 years, this was whats bugging you could have just asked him. he has been chasing you and youve been pushing him. If I were Yinan, I will leave you alone and look for someone else. I really want to skip your part cos ur so s*upid..... Haayst <<less
