Cloudside Café

Description

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

A new café had opened downstairs from the company. The shop’s signature item was neither coffee nor cake, but the boss’s good looks.
Jiang Ying, who was biased about appearances, was not careful and had left her heart over there.
Since then, a trip to Cloudside has become a daily ritual.

At some point, Jiang Ying checked her bank account and realized that her financial situation from the past few months was something to worry about.
Thus, she said to Yun Xian, “Boss Yun, I must be your store’s biggest customer. Why don’t you consider letting me invest in it? Let’s make money together.”

Yun Xian glanced at her as he wiped the glass and said in a flat tone, “Forget about investing.”
Jiang Ying felt like she was wronged. “I help with the taste test every time there’s a new product! When you said you couldn’t fall asleep, I thought of ways to coax you to sleep! I even painted the mural on the wall for you! *sigh* If I can’t even invest, then I’m at too much of a loss!”
“Oh, it is a bit of a loss,” Yun Xian said when he learned about her reasoning. “Then I can only let you make up for it by being the boss’s wife.”

Yun Xian x Jiang Ying
A beautiful but pessimistic café boss x a game designer working in a cubicle with her heart floating in the Jianghu

A short story where love comes first.

Hi, I'm the translator for this novel at Foxaholic. Thus, this review might be biased.

The novel is a short love story with a bold female lead and a caring male lead. It goes through how they face some of their real life struggles as they fall in love. I would like to add that the male lead has a very relatable past for any of us who are constantly working and live a mundane life. Moreover, I like the novel for a lot of the witty cultural references and the... more>> supportive side characters.

The main downside, as other reviewers will point out, is that it is a short story. However, I am very partial to short stories if you want a quick read or a nice break from life.

All in all, the novel is full of warm fluff and beautiful imagery. I will do my best with the translation, so please enjoy this story and thank you for reading my review! <<less

A soft steady pace pervades this story of two seemingly obvious people who are so much more under the surface. Their first meeting and gradual closeness feels organic. The greatest story contrivance of his friend and her boss is laugh out loud funny. The characterization of everyone is very well done. The world and people who populate it feel as if they continue beyond the margins of this short story. My only complaint is Id like to spend more time in this world enjoying the unique perspectives, stresses and joys... more>> of all the characters. If you are in the mood for a love story both thoughtful and sweet, I strongly recommend. <<less

20 chapters only but packaged with everything you need from a romantic slice of life. All characters are distinct and unique. The world is grounded and realistic, though lacking in plot, it has enough eventful happenings to make the reading experience gripping.

Less than half a day for a read and definitely recommend on giving it a go! It's an unique soothing piece of work that stand out amongst all the melodramatic rebirth/regression/transmigration novels.

It was a really short novel so I don't have to say much. All I can say is that if you want a mature yet warm and fluffy love story with less drama, then you can read this~ It won't waste much of your time and you'll actually end up enjoying the relationship between the leads cause they both think and act like actual adults in their 30's.

Warm and sweet with some underlying psychological element.

Truly didn't expect MC personality. She is a free spirit and truly a gift to ML monotonous world. Even though it's short, I give kudos to their intimacy. It's so warm, tender, yet very hot at the same time.

Actually, this story was quite simple but its simplicity that made me fall in love with it. It's about 2 people met and fell in love after getting to know each other for some times. There's no excessive drama or misunderstanding and it's really enjoyable to read.

Soft and lyrical, this feel like it was written to be enjoyed sitting in a cafe drinking coffee and eating cheesecake, just like Jiang Ying. It's sweet and slowly burning - the two leads both have feelings for each other but don't want to say anything for fear of disturbing the friendship they already have, but there are no misunderstandings and it flows very organically. A great quick read - reminds me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and feels like something you would read for a Modern Literature college course. Highly... more>> recommend. <<less

Splashes of reality dosed with fiction made the story closer to my heart. Although I really wanted more, It’s just right. No drama dragged. No unnecessary fightings. There are things left unsaid and sides that could’ve been explored but the way the author left it feels the most fitting.

The female lead is one-of-a-kind, brave and daunting. Funny and smart—most cnovels I’ve read does not mix these qualities. She is unique but has relatable thoughts. The male lead is like those rare gentleman but sets his boundaries. He also has his... more>> own quirks. Both leads aren’t one dimensional.

Reading it made me feel like I’m watching clouds. Passing time in a peaceful day filled in a world of mundane. I binged read it in one sitting and I think I might not remember the characters’ names in a while but I won’t forget the light feeling I got while reading it.

Kudos to the translator too, it was done so well! Thank you for your hard work! <<less

Relaxing and sweet romance. No angst or drama to annoy the reader, nor s*upidly illogical misunderstandings. Recommended.

A simple novel yet mellow and romantic mixed with slice of life. It's a really enjoyable read, not too short but not too long as well, just complete, with the extras as well.

The plot, although simple, which lead to many of the ML and FL's coincidence meetings, they didn't feel over forced, but they did feel half idealistic.

Overall, it's a good novel.

P.S.: No bed scenes.

Good night.

Nothing really special, it was a light read to kill time. The characters were well fleshed out but they weren't exactly standouts. The plot didn't really have any issues. I liked it but I think it would be easy to forget hence why I was leaning towards a 3 star but objectively I think it deserves a 4.

Yepp its a relaxing storry with finding the love of their life and a lil bit concern about their past/troubles

Was good that there's not much misunderstanding. The couple's both adults and faced their feelings.

It's nice that now they have each other🥹

This is a promising start! Very scenic and slow, but the FL is cute and the ML doesn't seem totally emotionally constipated. I enjoyed it, Translator-san, Jia you! (Yes I know that's a horrible mishmash of languages, let's just enjoy it shall we?)
