Don’t Fall In Love With The Boss

Description

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

Qian Wei’s last regret in her life was at the age of 19, when she offended Lu Xun, known as the “Light of the Law School”. She helped her brother Qian Chuan to pry at Lu Xun’s corner and robbed Mo Zixin from him. Who knew that Lu Xun would become her boss one day, and Qian Wei could only work like a cow or horse for atonement. But now God gave her the opportunity to return to the age of 19. Qian Wei said that she will help Lu Xun and ensure that he and Mo Zixin will be together. But … Why did she seem to offend Lu Xun more thoroughly? Help! She just wanted to help the future boss fall in love, not to fall in love with the future boss!

Qian Wei complained a lot about her boss: “Doesn’t Lu Xun have a private life? He works overtime all day, is he not afraid of developing kidney deficiency?”

Until one day, her boss called her to the office:

Lu Xun: Today, don’t work overtime. Come to my house.

Qian Wei: ???

Lu Xun smiled indifferently: A good boss should not let employees always have doubts. Tonight, I will show you personally that I don’t have kidney deficiency.

Original Review

By far one of my favorite modern romance stories on here. The MC is really, really, really dense and the ML has to compete with that. The side characters are fairly enjoyable, some are more fleshed out than others but it's okay as it fits with the context of the story as... more>> it's really about the love story between the MC and ML. And how dense she is.

Most of the conflict is misunderstandings on the MC's part but it's nothing heart-wrenching. It's really just her being so dense that light bends around her.

Spoiler

It takes a coma and magic drugs that stimulate her short-term memories for her to realize something she's been too dense to realize for nine years.

[collapse]

Her interactions with the ML become downright hilarious (and occasionally secondhand embarrassing) as he tries to woo her. Did I mention she's dense? This is something I'd definitely recommend for those who want a rather adorable story about a black-hole-level-of-dense woman and the poor simp that loves her. <<less

This is really one of the best stories I've read.

The plot might not be one of a kind, but the execution, the small moments, the characters, some many other thing definitely are.

It is a wholesome story, not only romance, it nudged and sometime dove deep to so many aspects in life and it took me back to younger years of my life.

I'm going to basked awhile and enjoy the feeling I get after finishing this story and definitely coming back in the future.

So, what are you waiting for!? READ NOW!

Not much of a plot really, but super hilarious dialogues, and overly sweet middle chapters, backed by excellent translation, this story just keeps you hooked. The translator did an over-the-top job.

5 stars for a enjoyable read

I'll give it 5 star for translation, but the plot is lacking, therefor: 4 star

I get it. The Female lead is a fool and idiot and is lacking in every aspect.

But I expected after

Spoiler

waking up from coma

[collapse]

she becomes a little bit smarter and less idiot. But her character never improves and I'm disappointed.

But the fact that some conversations are super funny is making it less frustrating.

Why there is not an "idiot female lead" in the tags. :-)

I initially want to drop this story because in the first half of the story, MC was very annoying and kinda d*mb, especially when...

... more>>
Spoiler

... she kept pushing ML towards Mo Zixin when ML already repeatedly said that he didn't like Mo Zixin at all.

[collapse]

But after I read a bit further, I somehow understand why MC was so adamant that ML like Mo Zixin.

Spoiler

Mo Zixin directed one man show and made it seemed that ML confessed to her but she rejected him. She intentionally made MC overheard it and made her misunderstood. That's why MC thought that ML secretly loved Mo Zixin for all these years.

[collapse]

About MC's rebirth, I thought it will be a simple rebirth story where MC will repeat her life again but it turned out...

Spoiler

... she was in a coma after her accident. ML, who was desperate to keep her life, decided to try an uncommon method to wake her up; which was: to stimulate her brain with certain memories. Some of the memories really happened in her past life but MC failed to notice it before while other memories were part of MC's fantasies.

So yeah, she didn't reborn at all.

[collapse]

The twist really caught me off guard but I'm glad it didn't follow other rebirth story formula because it made this story kinda refreshing. <<less

Usually I steer clear of dense protagonists but this one just strikes the right balance that she's may not be the brightest bulb in the shed but she's also not exceptionally naive or low IQ. She may be a little unaware of her own self worth and that's an obstacle she will eventually have to tackle.

It also doesn't help because the ML is also bad at expressing his feelings and is a big tsundere. His words say one thing but his actions are another. And the MC takes his words... more>> at face value too. He tells her he doesn't mean it like that, it's just out of coincidence or convenience. Of course, being someone not perceptive of her own love life and not that ambitious, she is not going to even try because she has been thoroughly convinced he doesn't see her in that way from her impressions of him when he was 28.

There is character growth and relationship development with all characters, not limited to just romance but also friendship, touching on her revisiting her youth and seemingly faded bonds when one grows up and focuses on their career and has self reflections of how people drift apart. It really touched something in me that has me reminiscing myself.

Aside from that, this kind of tug of war and olympic level mental gymnastics these two will put readers through had me either clutching my head going AIYOoo or laughing til my sides hurt.

Spoiler

Ah but when it does actually happen, they're so damn cute and tooth achingly sweet (cough) but also very spicy. I thought it was wrapped up pretty nicely. I binge read this all the way to the end and this is such a gem.

I'm soft, there's a lot of fluff and humour. MC kinda dense but that's the point, I respect the ML patience. Plot twist at the end really unexpected. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A DRAMA, WITH TAO AS THE ML. Can't wait huhu.

Not really my cup of tea. I read this because of the good reviews. But I dropped it in a few chapters. I don't really like the FL. For someone who already a lawyer she's kinda s*upid. My skin is no thick enough to read this kind of story. So I dropped this.

I might read this later though, bc people keep saying the latter progress are good. But for now I'll just drop it.

Thank you translator @SunkenTranslation. You have done a great job. The trans of 89.2 is so well done. Good job!

Further, I really enjoy reading this. This one has so many comedic touch. The MC Xian Wei is really a hilarious one. Her naivety is just so adorable. I laugh more during the time I read this. While the ML is a typical cold male lead but in front of her all those cold fronts have disappeared. Those interactions during their college years are all fun to read. This ain't the... more>> typical Human or MoBaoFeiBao'novels wherein the fluidity of the plots are strong but this one can categorize to be or should be strongly adapted to romantic - comedy Cdrama. I think it is already. Larraine Song is the FL.

Conclusively, So if you want a good read and fun one, a hilarious one - this one is really highly recommended. You will enjoy the journey of Xian Wei and Lu Xun. <<less

To be honest I found this story boring. The plot was interesting but scenes like the interactions between characters were too dragging. Those long ass paragraphs of dialogues of every character made me yawn. I skipped most of them. Those not so serious misunderstandings were getting too much too. The author dragged that arc for too long. I'm still giving it 4 stars because compared to other shitty and unreadable stories with unbearable characters this one was better.

THIS IS SUPER CUTE AND SWEEEET.

Also there's no complicated conflict or anything, just two of them being super sweet. So I guess it's kinda light read. But still it's a masterpiece.

LOVED IT!!!

Honestly while I was reading the first chapter it was already obvious that ML likes her with the way he blocked her blind dates buuuuttttt I can't believe the story ended up being so sweet and nice.

At first I thought both of them are gonna spend the entire novel being oblivious of each other but

Spoiler

in around 51 chapters they become a couple and then we see MC dealing with her feelings of being inferior to the so called 'white moonlight'.

Also turns out the moonlight was a two faced beech who made MC feel insecure.

Also at the end it turns out MC was living a dream that was loosely based on real events and she returns to her 28 year old self and reunites with ML.

[collapse]

I actually liked the was it ended cuz you know stories with second chances end with parallel universe and stuff. I liked that it took a different approach. <<less

At this point, the plot is so-so.

I don’t find what the FL did as humorous and cute, the whole thing only portrays her s*upidity and air headed? It kind of annoy me so much, but since this book received sohigh rates I will try to finish it and update my rate later on.

Lets hope that the plot will be getting better.

. However, it is all worth it. The ML and FL are so so so cute when they bicker or coax each other. I really can’t help laughing with this one since it is so humorous and fluffy that you’ll feel like you’re in a cloud with those soft and fluffiness you may feel the entire way. When they really started confronting their feelings to each other, then that’s the time it gets suppah fluffy!!

The FL in this story is a little bit dense since she misunderstood something~ but all in all she really has a great character that you’ll definitely love her!!!

As for the ML, damn, he really is one of a kind that I wish he’d come true because he is so amazing!!!

All in all, you gotta read this hidden gem to feel the fluffiness to the core!!! <<less

This novel makes me extremely frustrated. No matter how many times Lu Xun says he's not interested in Mo Zixin, Qian Wei interprets this just as shyness, fine the first two times, but she really doesn't want to see his side and only cares about seeking benefits for herself.. F*ck me, he's already given clear signs that he's actually interested in Qian Wei, but he can't even confess because she said she wouldn't like someone like that and I just want to pull my hair out and scream. And Li Chongwen, I don't want him to have expectations about Qian Wei, because he is someone very precious and I would hate that he would get hurt because of someone as selfish as Qian Wei. So, at the moment I hate this novel and I don't know if I'm going to make it to the end, but at least I want to try to go to chapter 50 and maybe something will happen that gets me there. Not even Lu Xun and his strange plan to conquer Qian Wei is arresting me now.
