Yin Bai once thought that Xiao Nian truly loved her. So, she graciously provided her with the best resources, elevating her to a revered position.

After achieving fame and success, Xiao Nian, in the name of true love, unceremoniously kicked her aside.

Yin Bai became the most ridiculed patron in the entertainment industry. On the night when Xiao Nian received the Best Actress award, she publicly declared her lifelong love in front of Yin Bai, infuriating her. She stormed off to the parking lot, where she took her anger out on her car with a cane, creating a resounding cacophony.

Coincidentally, this awkward scene was witnessed by Xiao Nian’s arch-rival, Zuo Jing You.

Yin Bai promptly put away the cane, cleared her throat, adjusted her sleeves, and casually greeted her, “Long time no see, Miss Zuo. The weather today is quite pleasant, isn’t it?”

Zuo Jing You remained calm and composed, saying, “Ms. Yin, please rest assured, I didn’t see anything.”

After saying this, Zuo Jing You walked past Yin Bai, leaving her so infuriated that she nearly snapped her cane that evening.

A few days later, Yin Bai encountered Zuo Jing You and another person having an argument in the hospital corridor. The man on the other side, with red eyes, uttered a memorable line, “You only lost a husband who didn’t love you, but he lost genuine love!”

Yin Bai paused, locking eyes with Zuo Jing You’s profound gaze. She then sympathetically mouthed, “I didn’t hear anything…”

Yin Bai: I thought I was the little prince who tamed the rose. In the end, I realized I wasn’t. I was just a little rose with four thorns who thought I could do as I pleased.

Zuo Jing You: I used to think that in love, as long as I did well enough, it would be sufficient. But love isn’t that simple; it’s not enough for just one person to do well.

So this time, I will learn to love you properly.

This review is being completely rewritten because the translator has finished the main story and I feel like this needs updated.

I had a comment here about the translator's website having issues but I've decided to remove this as things seem to have improved. Little Panda is a good translator and encountering the problems I did in the past was upsetting, probably for both me and the translator. I hope things go smoothly for them in the future as it would be a shame to lose a good translator like them.

On... more>> to the review!

In my previous review I said that it's rare (read: non-existent) for a Baihe story about celebrities to not have toxic relationships and needless drama (you have to have some drama for a story to be interesting). This story truly doesn't have that. It's filled with adults handling problems like mature adults. Almost everyone addresses issues with communication and healthy resolutions to conflict. I was honestly surprised, even with Yin Bai's previous love interest Xiao Nian. The people in this story address things maturely and intelligently. There's no cartoonishly ridiculous drama from any cartoonishly villainous characters. The people act like people with realistic motivations and desires. No drama for the sake of drama here.

The characters are what bring this together really though. Yin Bai is childish and endearing, with a naive and wonderfully playful personality. She becomes friends with Zou Jing You's child Tongtong before any relationship develops between our two leads. And her friendship is adorable and cute. Yin Bai is just a precocious and immature (in a good way) kid at heart... until it comes to her desires for ZJY obviously. When I read the synopsis and then the first chapter I was honestly worried that YB would be a domineering and controlling CEO type, as is often seen in some of these stories. She's not that way at all, and her past circumstances with Xiao Nian are explained well.

Originally I felt that ZJY was a flat character, but she comes into her own later in the story. She's very career oriented but also incredibly passionate when it comes to love. The way she cares for YB is very sweet.
Spoiler

ZJY also falls in love first!

Tongtong is treated as a maturing kid who is dealing with her parents divorce and her newfound friendship with the neighboring "fairy sister" YB. She's wonderfully cute and the way the MC interacts with her helps solidify that childish personality.

Finally, there's a lot of references to the book "The Little Prince" which is one of my favorite children's books. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it. It's profound and a good read even for adults.

I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did! <<less

To build up on the synopsis of this novel, this story is about 2 people who learn to move on from their previous relationship. These two don't exactly see the best side of the other upon first meeting, the first was Yin Bai's heart being broken that she could only be destructive once she was alone. The second was Zuo Jingyou who was betrayed and could only be left flabbergasted upon meeting her ex-husband again. In both instances they have given the other their handkerchief to comfort the other.

Their connection... more>> became a solid foundation after finding out one of Yin Bai's little friends is the child of Zuo Jingyou and then these two learn to interact with each other as the story goes on, of course this is not after Yin Bai's destructive heartbreak but a little more down the line as these two move forward to a more healthy dynamic with each other than their previous relationships.

The side character, gods I love them, Zhang Yu especially with her interactions with her boss (Yin Bai). They're really playful with each other and I love it. Speaking of playful the children and Yin Bai... Omg they're such gems all little shits with each other whilst with Zuo Jingyou (I mean this with affection). <<less

Enjoyable novel with not too much on it. Characters are likeable and the cast is not too big.

Only weird thing was the final arc

Spoiler

So ZjY rejects to act in a movie made by the wife of YB ex because it would upset her but then wants to act in a same s*x movie with the ex. Weird asf, you could just act in both then or reject both.

That was the only time I felt that the characters acted a bit weird just for plot reasons.
