This novel is just like one of ML’s movies—poignant, touching. Like experiencing the whole thing yourself, as if you are part of their world.

Just a bit of warning: both leads have significant differences, differences that will make you think if their love is worth fighting for. But they do, and the process is intriguing and realistic, at the same time.

Months may have passed since I last read this novel, but it still lingers like wine on my tongue.

I really enjoyed this novel. The characters obviously loved each other but had different love language. It took them time to work out their feelings towards each other.

It's a refreshing take on an otherwise classic plot. Love it and highly recommend!

Very nice novel. I was starting to get bored of reading Chinese novel as there was nothing new. This was a breath of fresh air. Love it very much. It's very unique to me as I have not read a Chinese novel with this style of writing before. 💖💖💖💖

A very particular novel in terms of danmei writing, different. A realistic love like few others find and full of life, disputes, experiences, affection.

I don't know how else to describe this novel. In some parts it is monotonous, but if you look closely it is not, everything has small details that delve deeper into the personality of the characters and their story.

I just finished reading the novel so my feelings are full but I have nothing but admiration. If I had to say something about this novel it would be that it is definitely not the best, It doesn't even have the best writing but it has something that catches you and involves you. It's not cheesy or full of fluff but it has those moments that make you think how beautiful her love is. They almost never express their love in words but they do in actions. It is not tragic but it has a certain anguish, sometimes it is discreet so much that it is not felt but I felt overwhelmed in a part for no reason, since clearly the writing was not heavy on sadness but I still couldn't stand it since the protagonist never describes those feelings you just notice it, you feel it.

... more>> At first I thought there was some difference in their feelings, later I realized how much that changed, or how much I began to notice that in fact there wasn't.

It is incredible how the author made me reflect on life, dreams, time, and the stubbornness of a person to remain firm in what they choose. It is certainly a realistic novel, but it has a certain invisible romanticism in the way it is written.

Simply a wonderful novel that may or may not leave you with a strong impression but is ultimately worth reading.

rating: 4.6 but 5 considering not many people read it. <<less

Interesting take on a normal love shared between two normal individuals. Both with their own share of faults and drawbacks, and yet so full of love for the other person. No written sentences of expressions of love by the author that might seem too sentimental or make the reader think "only possible in fiction".9.5/10. Highly recommend.

This is a really good story, the characters are decently mature and they understand each other very much. Story is mainly set with the characters in a rough patch of their relationship and how they navigate it, with flashbacks of their past/ how they got together etc. Good writing style, pacing and setting. It's quite light but I wouldn't call it fluff. The flashbacks are done tastefully and not excessive.

Very good story. It's different from anything I've read in months. I just have to disagree with how realistic they say the story is. They both have problems and are very real characters, but it's incredibly difficult to believe that these two end up together in real life "forever." Also not advisable because the relationship is so toxic. It's not just a troubled relationship, it's downright toxic.

One is obsessed and would submit to anything to not be abandoned. The other is an airhead who only thinks about himself, and can... more>> only be in this relationship because he has an escape valve: his escapes. He knows that the other would never abandon him, that's why he always does what he wants. I think one inspires the worst in the other, but since no one will love them with the same intensity and madness they need, they stay together.

I recommend reading it, it's well written and takes you through the ups and downs of this (un) happy relationship. <<less

A very engaging and realistic glimpse of lives of two individuals. Amid the seeming chaos of up downs, squabbles, union and separations, emotions, the pace of the novel was surprisingly steady and stable. And it was so simply wrapped up in the end.

It was really amusing and engaging that readers mighnot want to skip or skim over any chapters.

This is a well written novel. However, I did not finish reading it. The characters has depth to them but I simply don't like their relationship. I couldn't find it in myself to rate it low because the writing style is really good and I respect that. Maybe coming from a rocky family background who argues incessantly have something to do with me not enjoying this. After all, reading is an escapism to me and this reflects too much reality.

A rare story that could pull me till the end wanting to know what's gonna happen after every line. Conflicts, indeed, are charming. I love how characters are not sappy and chessy all the time and in turn their bickering and disagreement brought readers to reality. I love how they choose to stay together while understanding they couldn't escape from each other. Maniac and manic complete each other. I can't help but wanna complain a little bit about how the director run away everytime, however, it is what make him... more>> an actual person for me. I love it ! <<less
