Description

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

On the day Wen Yu found out her celebrity boyfriend had cheated on her, her family was also in danger of going bankrupt. That scummy ex of hers didn’t even feel any guilt. First, he cheated, then he mocked Wen Yu, declaring that he was no longer the poor man he had used to be. And thus, her status fell from a phoenix to a pheasant.

Wen Yu couldn’t take this insult.

After her break-up, she was accidentally hit by a car.

When she woke up, in front of her stood a man feared by everyone in the entertainment industry: Jiang Yuhe. He was the capital magnate who could essentially control the fate of all celebrities.

He asked her nonchalantly, “How do you want to be compensated?”

Seeing this as the golden finger sent by God, bold ideas suddenly sprang into Wen Yu’s head.

–

Wen Yu had claimed to have forgotten everything, firmly calling Jiang Yuhe “Older Brother”. And thus, the doctor diagnosed her with psychogenic amnesia, so her memories were distorted. Helpless, Jiang Yuhe was forced to temporarily take care of this “Little Sister”.

“Brother, are you coming home for dinner tonight?”

“Sorry Brother, a sister just called you. She seems to have misunderstood.”

“Brother, if you are well, then today will be a good day.”

Pretending to be an innocent little green tea*, Wen Yu was sweet, plain, and gentle and had a peaceful and beautiful temperament in front of other people. Behind that facade was a woman who would strike scummy men with a knife heavy-handedly.

On the day she humiliated her scummy ex and forced him to leave the entertainment industry, Wen Yu felt vindicated. Overly excited for a moment, she mistakenly texted her “brother” instead of her scummy ex.

The man squinted as he read the words on the screen out loud. “‘I tolerated and endured humiliation for three months’?”

He sneered, adjusting his position. “Well, aren’t you quite capable?”

“…”

Eventually, Wen Yu would finally learn on the true meaning of tolerating and enduring humiliation T_T

* ‘Green Tea’ is Chinese slang to describe a girl pretending to be innocent and pure.

I don't seem to comprehend why the author had to mention Filipino maids couple of times and even comment on their Mandarin accent. Is it to add a few words? I hope the author realizes this is a bit racist in some other parts of the world.

Other than that, plot and romance is so so. The story felt dragged on after the revelation of the lies. The story of MC's brother and ML's sister piqued my interest though. I'm not sure if it's another novel but I will definitely read... more>> that. If you want to pass time this would be good enough. MTL is good. <<less

The story's cute. Actually, I enjoyed the romance between the leads.

Just don't like it when the author keeps on repeating "Filipino maid", there's a chapter where the maid is always mentioned but they'll always add the Filipino. Its like they're emphasizing it and its showing obviously as a prejudice.

This is a light and fluffy love story. The main leads are cute, even if the female lead is a bit dumb. And you enjoy the ride as they slowly fall in love with each other. I also enjoy that the female lead has a close female friend who stays a close friend.

The only negative thing that really bothered me was the female lead's family. They are awful. Not in the mean, bullying sort of way, but in the selfish, neglectful sort of way.

Spoiler

The father goes bankrupt but instead of telling his daughter, he lets her find out by her having her card declined at a hotel. So then she uses all the cash she has on her, little knowing that that is all the money she has. Then he sells her properties without her knowledge. Then he hides from her. Then he tries to set her up with his secretary and throws a tantrum when he discovers she is with the male lead and forces her to go overseas with him, to see her mother who divorced him when the FL was 6 and she had made no effort to stay in touch with her daughter for 16 years.

And that brings to the brother, the brother also went with mother in the divorce and had made no effort to keep in touch over the next 16 years, but suddenly he shows up and wants to control the female lead. Wtf?"

Wan Yu and Jiang Yuhe... they're so adorable together! Enjoyed 2nd CP (Wan yu's older brother x Jiang Yuhe's older sister respectively).

Concerning another reviewers comment on a Filipinos accent (one of the maids hired by ML to help maintain their new living arrangements), the author used "不流利, " describing their fluency in mandarin as poor. "不流利" wasn't used to highlight their accent.

Ch 51: 菲佣操着不流利的普通话对温妤说："小姐，这是先生叫我们做给你吃的。"

Translation: The Filipino maid relied to Wen Yu in poor mandarin, "little sister*, this is something sir* asked us to cook for you."

*小姐 literal translation, 小-little/small, 姐-sister.
*先生 can be translated to: mister, Mr. Jiang (ml's family name), sir, or teacher.

Finished and reread the raws up to a certain point. I would rate the story about 3.5 after reread, but my initial rating would have been a 4 because it's an overall good story. I like that it's not a rebirth or a transmigration - it's a relatively possible romance story where a lie led to a relationship of a lifetime. The fated to be together bit was a bit too romantic for me, but it's fine - people in love have negative IQ. Which is what happened to the... more>> FL in the latter half of the story. She's smart, but she isn't good with relationships so she seems a bit s*upid in that aspect. But if you look at how young she is, just 22 years old, and has zero experience with romance, it makes sense that she makes silly decisions whenever it comes to the ML. The ML is sweet... in his domineering, controlling way that eventually gives in to dote on the FL. I have mixed feelings on his personality. I think it's how he fell in love that bothers me a bit - it's like go away go away go away be nicer so that you will go away and then the very next day he wants her to stay within his control. It kind of matches with his controlling personality, but it feels like it just comes down to he's naturally attracted to her.

I just could not bring myself to read the rest of the story after everything was practically solved and the main characters have become a couple. The characters have a good dynamic with each other: their personalities match, they're funny, they overcame their problems pretty quick and don't drag out the misunderstandings too much. I just got tired of the dragged out romance - it was less funny and more here's-all-the-details-of-their-love-life-after-they-became-a-couple. So it was fine for a one-time read, but I really couldn't stomach it a second time lol.

My favorite character is the older brother. The ML's animosity towards him was just hilarious. His side story was OK - I kind of wanted him to find someone better though. I also liked the best friend - true best friend. Her side story was too short and was unfortunately rushed and had a tacked on feeling. Both these characters provided great comic relief with their play on words and bystander-viewpoints.

I want to add my opinion/comment about the cultural misconception about why the author specifically said "Filipino maid" since there's been a few comments on that term.

My thoughts are from growing up watching Hong Kong dramas; almost every rich family in those dramas had foreign housekeepers. It wasn't until I was older and knew about more cultures that I learned that the foreign housekeepers were from the Philippines on work visas or something. Similar to how people come to the United States to work because the US dollar is better, people go to China to work for the same reason or whatever reason people have for going to a different country. "Filipino maid" might be a common profession or a common stereotype? Like, where did the term "French maid" come from? Is it referring to a maid who came from France or is it referring to a style or a stereotype? I think the author is using a term/profession that most of the Chinese readers would know about, but for us foreigners of that culture and language, the meaning gets lost in the literal translation and our different backgrounds. <<less

It's not amazing but it is engrossing. The ML is better than the fl. She has a guilty conscience that she likes to bring up just to avoid it x6 In that way, she is very aggravatingly human. However undoubtedly I repeat the ML is better than her.

Although the misunderstandings are not necessarily big, there are many small ones. Kinda makes you go why sometimes. It's dragged out for effect, perhaps a little too long. Although by no means amazing, it's a very engrossing book. The FL is very human... more>> aka selfish but I think honestly men like the ML who are cold, powerful, and rich like crazies like this who are also beautiful so honestly its just realistic?? Idk @rich men confirm

Oh yeah adding the Filipino maids was weird. Seemed specifically prejudiced. Bc no one else's ethnicity was mentioned and they went to America. Idk if it was ignorance or what on the author's part or just straight up trying to convey her bias? <<less

It was okay. A cliché push and pull drama between ML and FL. Our madam FL is a spoiled brat who cannot really do anything. She doesn't have any talent other than lying, crying and thinking in twisted manner. Our hero ML is a cold jerk. So they are perfect match for each other.

This is really a good good read.

63 chapters in mtl, even the mtl is quite good, easy to understand.

When you are tired of reading something heavy, scheming, dogblood and all, and you want to take a break and read a soft one then this is it.

The plot can be summarized as the FL fallen from princess to a woman from bankrupt family, got cheated by her actor boyfriend and got hit by a car while crossing the street. FL pretended to have amnesia when she knew she was hit by... more>> the ML's car holding to him for survival, for revenge.

They then started a brother-sister relationship. It was stiff at first. It was the ML who fell inlove first as FL is bit naive and he doesn't want to return her and want to hold on to the so called brother sister relation until the real elder brother came to the door. No too much scheming for 3rd party either from the ML or fl's side.

The struggle was more on how the FL can make achievements when she started her own entertainment company.

When they both became real boyfriend and girlfriend, it was quite smooth aside from the occasional roadblock from her Dad.

What I like the most was the ending, it was really one of the best proposal, not for the sake of flowers, fireworks, but how it was executed, especially the, "in your hand, in my heart" clay dolls thingy... I really loved that and it was so fluffy <<less

This is the epitome of a fairy tale. A perfect setting of romance. FL is smart yet coquettish. ML is aloof but innately romantic. A lot of plot twists leading to the same fate and destiny.

I cried a lot (until the end). Tears of grief and happiness. Lots of drama here.. But the ending is actually one of a kind. I usually feel reluctant when I finish reading good stories. But this time, I was fully satisfied!^^

I really like the FL. She's funny and smart. I like her interactions with the ML. The ML is so cold at first to the point that he doesn't really talk to the FL but he still can't resist the FL whenever she does somethin HAHA

this was really bad. I just feel like I read a fcking soap opera. Everything so irritating about this novel. MC with her so genius plans (even if it didn’t meant to be serious), ML with his I don’t hear I don’t see when something happens. It was kinda okay before part when he finally understood that she was fooling him. He just asked her something like is this true and she was just sitting in silence. I hate when characters just didn’t talk when misunderstanding takes place. So I... more>> suggest u just watch kdramas instead of this. <<less

This is good. I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. The first half was a little off, but that's just because of the circumstances on how the ML and FL got involved with each other. Once it gets going it gets really enjoyable.

The FL was flighty and kinda manic pixie ish, and at times Belligerent and willful. Made for a fun character, but at times annoying and childish. ML is your typical cold domineering ceo. I’m not too big of a fan of the trope where the FL can do whatever or cry a bit and gets her way, which is the case in this series. Although the ML did sometimes try to put his foot down, he would eventually cave in to the FL whims. A lot of back and forth,... more>> angst and typical Chinese rom-com cheese. <<less

While interesting it does have it's share of issues. The concept itself is very fresh and attention grabbing, but the execution falls a bit short. The author ends up betraying the core of the characters and pairs everyone up, when just staying true to the characters would've worked a lot better. It's also a real pity the author didn't take a chance with MC's character and made her the flimsiest of the bunch. The usual mistaken impression of what a CEO is, how much work they do and how important... more>> they are are there, so is the whole, double clean syndrome. As some have mentioned bfr me, racism that comes quite suddenly is an issue as well, at first I thought maybe the tl is a bit wrong just because it made no sense...I found the siblings' couple to be the most disappointing, there really was no need to have them get together and for the sister to become just another tool in the ''u'll find the right person and then ul want marriage and a kid'' box. The family dynamic itself was badly done, and def needed a lot more attention be put into it than the author did. <<less

I rate it around 3/5, bcs I got bored and stopped reading. (Idk why the star at 5, maybe I cl**ked it by accident. And NU should have allow edits on star rating.)

It was good until it's not. I guess when the lie was still ongoing, the suspense was always present but after that, it's boring. MC started her own company, too many talk about business that's not compelling at all, her romantic relationship basically guaranteed. Nothing to look forward to. So I stop.
