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.

Such a masterpiece deserving of a solid five star.

Excellent character development.

This is one of the stories where I’ll accept a story that uses misunderstandings as a driving plot conflict. The author knows the right amount of times she can use them. Just when I was getting pissed off at them, the problem was fixed. This is also one of the stories where I don’t mind when the MC is dense, naive and just bad at love!

This author really likes to write law love stories lol. They’re also really good at... more>> writing romcoms too!

If you liked this novel, then I recommend their other works. <<less

OMG ONE OF THE BEST READ CHINESE TRANSLATED NOVEL I'VE EVER READ!!!

It's like taking the readers along with their imperfect love stories that sometimes make me frustrated at many chances they could have been together but it's not boring at all as it's full of comedic scenes that will make you laugh along. Their love story might be full of misunderstandings and can certainly be solved if they have talk properly with each other but seeing them run around in a roundabout way to express their love towards each other... more>> finally will make you felt a degree of completeness and celebration as " ah, finally they're together!" The author and translator really works hard finishing the novel in a completed sweet ending full of fluffyness. Definitely a must read!

She's pregnant with twins AAAAA that's so sweet. Three meals, four person, One room, Four seasons

Despite the dumb name this was actually a nice novel. Well translated and fun to read. But I was seriously put off by the title. Luckily I decided to give it a go after looking at the comments. There were many times when I was extremely exasperated by the MC’s slowness but she’s quite cute and not exactly unintelligent. Slow but cute romance. Nice for when you need a light read

THAT TWIST THOOO. Totally expected but also unexpected. It was so different. The concept was unique and it was the first time I came across with it despite having the same way of (*cough. ehem) "going back" trope present in some novels. I aint gonna spoil, I just wanna let out my opinion. At first it was quite uhh uncomfy? I mean, with mc's journey and all to reverse her situation with ML in her perspective. But then it was smoothed over and I was totally satisfied with the ending.... THE SIDE STORIES DOESN'T COUNT HUHU. I wanna see what happens after and the details, like what's the name of their children, the second couple's progress to marriage, The Li someone actress and her happily ever after 😭. But I guess it's enough. Am still totally hang up with this and haven't calmed down my hype hahaha still, This one's a great novel. Superb work, Job well done and a thumbs up to the author and translator. Thank you for this masterpiece 🙏🏼

  • DO NOT READ
Edit: wanted to reread and am very tempted to give this 1 star. Apparently the translator has locked the last 10 chapters behind a paywall. It's funny how a novel that has a legal background and a message about ethical standards decides to do something so lame. Ask for donations but to deliberately lock the final chapters?? To play on people's frustrations? Why not force people to watch 30 sec ads after each chapter and really make money from someone else's novel.

OG Review:

There's a reason for the... more>> 'misunderstandings' so even if at times MC's actions feel frustrating there is, is fact, a VERY GOOD REASON which is slowly revealed over time.

Enjoy the ride and don't think overthink certain things. The reveal explains a lot of things about the MC and her 'rebirth'. <<less

One of the sweetest, cutest and funniest romance novel I've read thus far. The whole romance builds on a misunderstanding that was hinted to the readers from the start bit by bit. The story was mostly in the time period of FL's rebirth back in her university life, which gave the novel more of a shoujo, youthful sweet romance feels. FL is your somewhat typical oblivious girl who's just trying to make amends in order to protect her future work life. She tries so hard to ensure that ML gets... more>> together with another girl she thought he liked, but since she was wrong, her actions were totally futile. Instead, we get to see all the various awkward but sweet (cute!) ways ML tries to trick and pursue FL in his round-about ways and it's a mix of cute sweetness and a big comedy skit because of how much he fails at it. FL doesn't quite act like a 28 year old in a 19 year old body, but considering she was quite oblivious from the start and didn't act overly childish, it wasn't a big deal for me. ML is a somewhat typical cool, aloof handsome guy who's cold on the outside but a little awkward and sweet inside. (He's not exactly a tsundere since he's not very 'dere', but his actions of acting one way but feeling another was pretty close....). The reason why this novel is one of my favourites is how they really showed how ML pursued FL and didn't skimp over it, and you could really see how you would fall in love with him too if you were the FL, which makes it feel quite realistic. ML is also pretty cute in both his actions and thoughts HAHAAH. He's indeed a little OP to the extent that it makes it a little unrealistic, but I have met people who are this talented (and hardworking) before irl so it's not completely impossible.

Initially, I was a little worried about how it was never mentioned how ML started to like FL, which would be upsetting since the novel was pretty realistic thusfar. However, it was resolved in the end, so all that's well ends well.

I won't spoil it for you, but initially, after they got together, I was also worried about how they will resolve and reconcile FL's past with her current situation. Although it ended a tad bit unscientific (but it's a rebirth, which isn't realistic anyways), the final resolution actually brought me to tears. I admire ML's dedication, and I want to smack the FL soooo bad for being such an oblivious dimwit ;A;

Overall, super sweet and funny school life + a little adult life novel. Highly recommend. <<less

Love. Love. Love. this humorous romantic novel lots... 💖💖
It's 1 of my favorite Modern Novels. I laughed so much when I was reading this novel. I have read it twice

Lu Xun's dedication and determination finally opened Qian Wei's simple brain about his true love for her. Though it took 9 years for Lu Xun and Qian Wei to be together as a couple, it's all worth while as those 9 years were filled with them being together in the office anyways.

Lu Xun and Qian Wei are a very cute... more>> & funny couple. Though Lu Xun is cold & serious, Qian Wei's simple mind & easy going complement Lu Xun very well. 💕💕

Lu Xun and Qian Wei are a lucky couple. Besides having each other, they also have families who support them lovingly.

I also like Qian Wei's bro, Qian Chuan, and her BFF, Liu Shi Yun. <<less

Oh, dear. It seems that I have been fooled into thinking this was another rebirth/time travel/fix-it story. But I'm so glad to be fooled because this was such a fun read.

First off, the translation/editing work was done so well, it doesn't even look like it was MTL-ed, so kudos for that!

Second, the story itself. It's amazing. I recommend this especially as a pick-me-up after reading a sadder piece. The premise is that Qian Wei (the FL) dies and returns to her 19-year-old self, and she takes that opportunity to redo... more>> her past actions regarding Lu Xun (the ML). Things happen differently, and they end up with each other, instead of Qian Wei's original plan to bring Lu Xun and the other girl (lol) together.

But
Spoiler

surprise! She didn't return to the past! She was actually in a coma. The story explains it better than I could, but there's a medicine to help her 28-year-old self wake up, and Lu Xun talking to her comatose self. So while she didn't return to the past, most of the stuff that happened then did happen in the "original" timeline, only Qian Wei was... kind of an airhead to notice/remember them? Of course, there are some discrepancies but most events check out with each other.

Before I reached the chapter where (28-year-old) Lu Xun explains everything, I thought the twist was a waste. Like, "yo, 19-year-old Qian Wei was already living her life, then suddenly it was all a dream???" I kinda wanted her to 'go back' to the past because it was a 'better' timeline, then maybe have a side story or two for the "current" timeline for some angst. Sorry not sorry lol.

Then I arrived at the explanation chapter, and it all made sense, and they got their happy ending anyway, so I made peace with it lolol.

[collapse]

All in all, the plot twist made me feel a lot of things, haha.

But, damn, Lu Xun's dedication??? I could never. Big respect for him, nine years is no joke.
Spoiler

On one hand, maybe if he was more straightforward, they would've gotten together earlier. On the other hand, if the whole coma/fake rebirth thing didn't happen, I doubt Qian Wei would've realised her own feelings sooner, if at all.

[collapse]
It's still nice, though. I love that they got their happy ending before it was too late.

And how could I forget about Qian Wei's twin brother and her best friend?? I love their dynamic!!!
Spoiler

I thought they weren't gonna end up together in the "original" timeline, but I'm glad they did!!!

[collapse]
I just think they're neat, is all.

Anyway, again, this was a great story, definitely would recommend. <<less

It's not a rebirth novel. Kinda weird in the medicine mentioned to wake Qian Wei up from her coma-state, but yeah over all it was acceptable

Liked the caring thundere ML a lot and had a bit of a sentimental feeling while reading how ML did so much for the dense as a brick MC. The whole plot consisting of misunderstandings finally solved and the ending was great.

I like the plot. I was fooled into believing this is another reincarnation or transmigation novel.

In the beginning, the slap stick characterization of the FL was funny. But too much slapstick humor made some chapters exasperating to read. Thank heavens for character growth.

You'll learn a lot from reading this novel. You don't need to set aside logic and tell your brain cells to take a vacation.

Has it's flaws but I'm a sucker for a dense MC x loveinterestfallsfirst ML so it's up my alley. I enjoyed the fluff and the romance but for those who don't like an overly oblivious MC may not enjoy the story as much.

this novel started off cute and funny, but become a little frustrating after a while

despite some complaints, I still recommend checking it out!

to keep spoiler free; one of my main issues was that qianwei is /incredibly/ dense. I understand her rationale to an extent, but it’s ridiculous, when she’s supposed to be a ~30 y.o lawyer (mentally at the very least). lu xun, meanwhile, has some communication issues as well.... put both of them together, I had my fair share of “why??? is this happening??” moments.

still, I do think that... more>> qianwei is pretty funny and entertaining character to read, and the rest of the characters were not too bad. overall, it’s a cute and fun novel, worth reading at least for a couple chapters. <<less

IT'S SO FREAKING SWEET AND CUTE!!! It first showed off its hilarious aspect. QW and LX's banters is always entertaining. I can't get enough of them! I can't really classify the novel as a fluff as a whole but rather it's just half of it. Everything else is their funny interactions and the side characters as well. I like that the 'law' aspect of the story is not exaggerated and easy to understand. It also only contains little jargons and for the most part it's just with regards to their... more>> studies.

QW is freaking dense. But not annoyingly dense. More like she's not the type to go look for love nor the type to think about it at all. LX is so cute! He's not the cuddly type but his actions of getting her while trying to save face is just cute!

I don't want to disclose much thoughts about the characters because for the latter part of the story it will be explained.

I do feel like the ending kind of happened short. Don't get me wrong, it has satisfactory ending. The misunderstandings and the explanations were given but I would've liked to read more after the rebirth stage. I feel like they need more time and interactions to develop to that kind of relationship. Bec afterall the reality and the **** state was different. Also I would like everyone to know that the extra chapters here is not a bonus chapter. It's just basically the authors thoughts or mini conversation with the characters. Most of it has like 10 sentences. You're not missing out.

10/10 would recommend. <<less

Extremely sweet and very funny novel. Lots of misunderstandings between FL and ML, but the story flowed well. FL was perky but not annoyingly so, and had lots of personality. And ML is just *chef's kiss*. Very good explanation on the rebirth, too, which is the first I'd seen of the kind out of the many rebirth novels I've read.

The translator did a fantastic job, you wouldn't know the translation was from MTL. Thank you!

Sweet, cute, fluff and funny story. There is a lot of funny misunderstandings. The MC is funny and dense, the ML is a bit op but actually quite ‘shy’. Both of them can save alot of time if they did communicate when they were young. But hey that’s the whole point of the story. Anyway its a short fluffy story, light read with no blood drama. Even the the brother and best friend cp is funny and cute. It’s a good read. Tq
