Many have expressed that she didn't have character development, but I disagree. She developed kindness while obstructing Zhao YuXi's missions. And she learned to love while increasing her life vitality touching Lu Huo.

I enjoyed the clarification of why Lu Huo in the original story protected Zhao YuXi. It also showed how lonely, dark, and short-lived he was without the changes XiXi brought him. On the other hand, I also loved the extras because it showed a LuHuo who had everything, but who still could not open his heart due to the inner fear of rejection of his mermaid tail. Another point I loved in the extras is that it briefly mentions the good father material Lu Huo is.

so the villainess is the og fl. And she has a system that collects energy by harming people. And obviously, the first 2 or 3 times I didn't want her to win but after a while, I also wanted to see her do something.

see, her role in the book is basically to be contrasted with the MC so that the MC can shine brighter. It's so much that they are literally the same person with the same things and moving towards the same purpose.

Not only do the both of them have systems, have the same love interests and have systems with a similar target, they literally look alike.

and of course you're going to hear things like- but the MC is more beautiful and more refreshing. Or- they put on the same dress but the whole room feel silent when they saw MC.

The worst part was that the villainess and MC used the same methods to approach the ML but for some reason (plot armor) the ML constantly rejected the villainess.

It would have been fine for him to reject her because the method of approach was really s*upid- but the FL uses the same approach and is literally more willful in an unpleasant way and the ML suddenly losses all his senses- saying things like "he couldn't understand it but there was something that blah blah" In short he couldn't resist her.

if she isn't using a cheat we don't know about, then she's definitely using a cheat. Her system is just stronger than the villainess', literally. That's all.

at first, that plot armor wasn't so obvious until the ML became a teenager.

like literally, girls would send him letters and try to approach him but he would purposely isolate himself. Which would have been fine if the author included things like, he didn't believe in people anymore. Or maybe he went along and was humiliated but nope! He directly rejected everyone and automatically accepted fl.

Because every time the MC said that only he could see her, he would say something like, "something that belongs to only me."

I think the ML just wanted to isolate himself for the MC.

I'm not the kind of person to let the truth get in the way of a good story but seriously- the real world doesn't have so much stigmatization against the disabled.

and I was thinking- it's okay- it's all good, as long as the plot of the world aligns. But even in the world, there were laws against stigmatizing disabled people- mark you, these are modern educated people but- everyone has this thing against the lame. Like the moment someone can't walk- they are automatically useless and can't even have a romantic relationship- and I'm thinking- what?!

it would have been fine had the world been set in ancient China or the republican time or at least if the setting of the modern world matched the stigmatization but goodness.

What killed me was how everyone kept referring to the ML and Ji Tui (a lovely character- I was almost going to ask MC to open a harem) as useless people. Even the characters saw themselves that way. Apparently only if they could walk would they be worthy of love and affection.

and I'm thinking- what's wrong with you?

I can blame that on the years of stigmatization they had to go through.

but what kills me is the fact that MC refuses to introduce ML to her parents until he can walk. Like the f*ck! Would she never show him to her parents if he could never walk?

so the grandfather takes ML to beat the mandarin ducks. Yes!

he is taken to a heavily guarded remote villa where MC obviously finds ml. And I think this is where the setting starts to collapse.

the people who protect the ML suddenly become dumb as f*ck and forget their work ethic. They don't even report to the grandfather that the ML is seeing someone.

they are so gullible in front of the MC that she also rolls her eyes at them at some point.

See? She clearly has a cheat that the author has refused to tell us about.

"Bring it here, the thing I just gave you."

Lu Huo took a small clip from his trousers pocket, which Qiao Xi had purchased before leaving the mall. She asked him to hold it for her because she didn't have any pockets on her dress.

In the palm of her hand, he placed a small clip inlaid with two crystals in the shape of strawberries.

Qiao Xi's hands are lovely, soft and fair, with light pink fingertips. These are pampered hands, and the small clip is placed in the palm of her hand, which looks stunning.

^ in this scene, she asks him to pass her a clip hes holding onto so she can give it to a kid. is that last paragraph actually necessary. is it

--

Qiao Xi had already awoken, and with a hazy look in her eyes, she rushed up and changed her clothes.

She purposefully wore a bean paste green skirt today. Layers of light green gauze bloomed. The skirt was a little crafty, with split sides. Her thin white calves appeared faintly when she walked, making her very attractive.

Qiao Xi had her hair tied as well. She tied a bow in her half-tied hair with a ribbon of the same color.

Her complexion became more and more white and flawless as she wore light green.

Qiao Xi was pleased with herself when she looked in the mirror. Her face used to be more beautiful, seductive, and aggressive like a fox spirit, but her big round almond eyes have weakened her charm and turned her into a pure flower, and one look can deceive anyone who sees her.

^^ ITS LIKE THIS THE WHOLE TIME. PARAGRAPHS AND PARAGRAPHS INTERSPERSED WITH PLOT ALL TO DETAIL HOW STUNNING, OTHERWORLDLY, PRETTY, WONDERFUL SHE IS

(where I left off he already started to fall for her, so it was pretty fast)

FL takes ML out to some restaurant I think, theres a paragraph describing how everyone looks at her because she is so beautoful and then at the end its like.. oh everuone keeps staring because of the wheelcjair... and im like ok. thats just. why? its a modern setting. its not like everyone has never seen a wheelchair before. seeign a pretty girl push a wheelchair is not wildly outside the realm of possibility. and ML is also stated to be ashamed of his wheelchair, feels imferior etc etc etc and honestly yeah like that other reviewer said this is just not realistic. being in a wheelchair is not a one way ticket to complete ostracisation. its just a blatant plot device to a. make us pity ML more and b. to make ML shine even more omce he manages to stand up (i assume. I didnt get there and im not going to read anymore).

ML and FL is too perfect here. The Halo is too strong, typical cnovel

at first he is such a cutie innocent type but slowly will be a big wolf (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Character development of the ML is good, you can see it slowly he change in a good way. Not change so much, still in the line with his previous characters. I like him so much. Well there is still a but, he is too perfect.. I meant he can do anything, ANYTHING!! Too inhuman, at least I hope he have something he can't do to makes him more human.

she's bold and cus of that the relationship between both ML&FL is good. You know in relationship one of the two have to take the initiative first, and here FL who did that job. Yet I agree with the other review who said she have no character development, tho I like her boldness

kissu kissu scene

he's too old-fashioned.. All that makes ML blackened one of the big reason is his Grandpa. He is too believing in other people word and treating ML unfairly too much. I think he have a mental illness cus however bad child do, it's not possible to always lock the child alone and never give even a bit of warm. Moreover, ML didn't do anything bad here!! He is too much..

I'm sleepy right now, I can't write a proper review. I catched up with the translated version at Chapter 115... 116 needs payment at the moment.

My brain is too sleepy to try MTL so I probably will drop this until there are enough chapter. Take this review as my bookmark.

I'm not that good with words and describing... I want to write a proper review but idk how. Anyway, I really enjoyed the novel.

Atleast, at this moment I'm not cliffhanged, thus I can drop this with a calm heart. The last chapter was good enough as an ending lol.

Anyway, ML is fully healed at this point. Idk about the MC tho, at this chapter, her heart condition and time limited life isn't being brought up anymore. I guess Qiao Xi spent too much time with Lu Hou that she saved a lot of time lol.

There's a chapter here where I laught really hard. I forgot the chapter but I bookmarked it on my brothers phone yesterday lol. It's probably 80 onwards. I'll update this when I have time.

Now she has both the current ML and his pastself.

And she actually took the past little ML to introduce to her mother as her boyfriend!

She actaully took a precious chanse that the original ML has been wating for for so long and easly and happily gaive it to his past one!!

I hated the FL here so much.

She know that the original ML hate her bing with his past one, but she still gose to him, I would say it's okay I can understand her thought that they'er the same one in her heart and can't bring herself to ignore the little past one, but to go and take the the past one who dosen't belong to this time frame and introduce him to her mother as her boyfriend and totally ignore the one who original own this time frame, that's too much of her.

I felt the author wanted to show us how the FL was strugle between the original ML and the little ML from the past (he actually not so little, he's in high shcool. and as the FL has already gone to the past twice to meet the 1st grade ML and 2nd grade ML at high school, so I think the one who jump to the future is the one at 3rd grade high school. So he actually younger than the original ML by just 2 or 3 years!). But she failed miserably.

Becuase I at least as one of the readers didn't feel that, I always feel that since the past ML came she ignored the original ML. She didn't even call him or thought about him until he call her, which is totally different from her usuallself.

Pluse, if she really cared she wouldn't go act so intmately with the past ML while she still has the original ML in the same time frame.

Maybe the FL felt like the past ML was more pitiful, he still can't stand up, he just come from a fight, he's younger, he's in a new time where he can't walk freely, and that the original ML was more staple now, can stand up, has start to get confidint, he's in his original time frame.... maybe and maybe, but that all won't change the fact that the FL has forget, ignored, throw behind her back the original ML and give all her time for the past ML and took a thing that should be for the original and give it to the past one.

the FL has a system and with the points she can go back to the past to help ML deal with his grievances

ML grandpa had to more or less imprison him? I mean he cannot go outside at will, even go to the university???

moreover, really, I hate his cousin brother really a real bully

Due to some evil people's schemings, he was branded as a harbinger of misfortune since he was born. He is also half-mermaid and couldn't walk nor use his tail due to him being slowly blackened from a young age. He was bullied for being lame, isolated, wasn't given any hint of love, and was treated like a monster. He grew inferior and savage, not letting anyone near him. Of course, FL won't listen and is still stuck by his side every day.

the author emphasized so much on their skinship. Whether its FL touching ML's tail, or kissing, it gets old since they all are 2nd base act that were REPEATED only on different locations. What am I reading, soft p*rn? It's not even that good
