This slow burn, dramatic trip is so agonizing! I.. it's like a hellfire set off deep inside me, and there's not enough coal or wood to keep it stable. With each chapter I read, I find it harder to sit still. Just imagine me rolling around the room smashing into objects, squealing and screeching at the MC and ML's interactions.

Especially the kisses! OMG!! For now, the two (more like Lian/MC) think of it as an 'emergency technique' but they can't deny it feels good, ah! And the sad backstories...*sniff* How they both are lonely and lost their loved ones... it's so tragic... BUT I hope later on they can confide in each other their worries. :3

The translation quality is amazing as well! Thank you, translator (s), but I need more!!!! *sends good thoughts* <<less
Famous iceberg couple and misunderstandings that leave you bothered but not totally frustrated... This novel is truly well worth the read! I can't help feeling the 2 main leads have a sad backstory... can't wait to read more!
Honestly, this was an amazing ride. I stopped reading at chapter 300 because I was getting busy with school and stuff (plus I didn't want to camp and cry), but a few days ago I checked TMR on Novel Updates again and it was marked "Completely Translated." My eyes widened and I could hardly believe it. I immediately set some time aside each day to catch up. Suddenly the site changed its look (which is pretty cool), but the comments disappeared (which made me kinda sad because I loved reading... more>> them and voting). It took me a few chapters to be hooked in again, but by then I was already reeled in and netted! The thrills! The food porn! The amazingly fleshed out characters (both heroes, villains, and everyone in between) ! I missed those so much! And finally, FINALLY.. the romance and action went through the roof.

Even though I had already read the spoilers discussion forum on NU, I WAS SO SHOCKED AND AMAZED BY HOW THINGS TURNED OUT. Like, Muxiang was the original Chu Lian? I thought it was going to be Fuyan. The interactions between He Changdi and Chu Lian (our MC) gave me heart attacks and diabetes. >w< I can't believe how evil Xiao Bojian is. Sometimes I wish Chu Lian was more careful as well, but still it makes her human and all the more loveable. I love how everything turned out for the best. Like the bad guys got their punishments and the good characters received what they deserved at last. Except for Chu Lian, who I felt should've accepted the Royal Princess title (because I just think that for all she's gone through, she really REALLY REALLY deserves it).

The only problem I have is the ending. : ( ( (IT WAS TOO QUICK.
Spoiler
After Xiao Bojian was apprehended, He Changdi and Chu Lian reunited again and everyone got their deserved ending. But the way the author wrapped everything up felt too rushed to me. It was very good, but it wasn't enough to satisfy that ending syndrome. T_T I think many readers got too spoiled with the long descriptions of delicious food, so now that the story's over, the author does it again! This entire novel was a feast that I gobbled up too quickly. It was heavenly experience.. but it was just too short! ଘ (੭*ˊᵕˋ) ੭* ̀ˋ Now please excuse me as I proceed to lie down and contemplate my existence.
super ugly sobs echo throughout my room

P.S. WHERE ARE THE FANWORKS?! This should be more popular!!! >~< I shall contribute whenever I'm free (which is probably never)... <<less
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!!! ≪3
I read this a long time ago when I didn't have an account here, but now that I have one, I just had to come back and reread this story. It's lovely and short, but heart-wrenching and painful at the same time. Bless the author for this wonderful work.
This is my first review, and all I can say is that this short novel is simply breathtaking. There's such a powerful impact that resonates from the words written that it feels both disjointed and smooth at the same time. I'm not very good with words, but to me this story was like a silk thread turning into an intricately woven web. And the droplets of morning dew on the web could be tears (all aboard the feels train!). The empty spaces between the web could be considered the gaping... more>> hole left in me when I finally finish reading, from the prologue to the commentary (it's so deep--I'm drowning). In short, a beautiful masterpiece. ˚‧º· (˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅) ‧º·˚
