Description

Three years after our breakup, I was kidnapped, and my ex-boyfriend was negotiating business with the head of the kidnappers right in front of me.

I shouted, “Husband, save me!”

My ex-boyfriend remained cold-faced, not even sparing me a glance.

“Brother Chen, President Chen, Buddha Chen…”

Seeing that he was still ignoring me, I grew furious. “Chen Wu, you bastard! Are you just going to watch me die without helping?!”

My ex-boyfriend’s eyes reddened, and finally, he spoke to me, word by word:

“My. Name. Is. Jiang. Du!”

Huh? I didn’t even get a single character right!

This is such beautifully written novel (complicated emotions with sadness and same time feeling warmth due to leads' strong love)

Kudos to author, it might be confusing at first but the writing and flow of plot were good. After some realizations, you can observe small details related to FL's circumstance. Also thanks to Crimsons, didn't fail in translating another good short story.

Based on synopsis, I'm ready to hate ML... but novel proved me wrong, ML was the best. His love, patience and care for FL were truly worth praising. Also,... more>> the author did small details that can convey how much FL also loved ML and took effort to kept her memories of him.

Spoiler

FL has an Alzheimer's disease, she tried to rejected proposal and broke up with ML bc some of her memories kept erasing... Later on despite being married, her memories of pushing him away (for his sake) kept restarting.

ML was so good that despite caring for Alzhemeimer patient being hard and showed some exhaustion emotionally and mentally... but his love for her overpowered the negatives.

When they first separated, he still wanted her back. After knowing her situation, she became his priority and even step down as CEO of his company to care for her.

I read this without looking at the tags just went in thinking this was gonna be a funny romance from the summary.

I was not prepared for the feels omg

Anyways it's a super quick read but manages to be a beautiful story with so many emotions.

I won't spoil the main thing because it's tied in so well and everything in the start makes sense once it's revealed. Flows really well author did an amazing job

DANG !

The subject the author chose is though yet they succeed in making a great novel.

It's so well written, the pov of the female lead is really interesting as you thought she would be pictured as a self-centered person. Yet, behind her jerk attitude, there is an incredible and very predictable "soap opera" trope.

Spoiler

While reading, I realise how bad Alzeimer could get. I mean, when people talk about this illness, most of the time they only talk about the "forgetfulness" aspect, not the "dementia" aspect nor the fact that their brain can SHRINK, like what?

I realise how cruel for both, the family and the patient, this illness can be, like, he literally proposed 7 times but she forget every time it makes cried a little when I read this part.

I cried my eyeballs out. The love between the FL and ML is just so inspiring and I felt so deeply for the both of them.

I won’t spoil the story but this definitely a beautiful poignant story with a complex ending.

The title of the novel is so meaningful too after reading the story.

Must read for me... in short story 5/5 recommended

Love is another name of care, for me. This story explain's clearly why I said love is caring.

Thousands ups thousands downs, and thousands of times, he would help her cross the river.

Love is caring 💞

Based on the description, I expected this story to be funny, but I was completely wrong. It's both heartwarming and heart-wrenching at the same time. I never imagined I would cry so much over a story.

The love between them, especially JD’s love, is truly inspiring. He’s so supportive, caring, and loving—he’s everything.

I honestly don’t know what else to write without spoiling this for first time readers. Just be prepared to cry.

This short story is SO well written... Very emotional, and it's only 8 chapters!! By chapter 4, you will be hooked. Great writing... Actually gave me a new perspective, on.... things.. Hard to give this due praises, without spoilers, and this reads much better if you do not know what to expect.

Like aurazien, I also went in expecting something light, maybe funny, based on description, without looking at tags. And I was pleasantly surprised, that it was much deeper than I thought. I usually do not like tragedies, but this... more>> was really good. <<less
