Xu Zhi chased Lu Ming for a year, had a two-year relationship that could not be made public, and was a fool for three years. She wrote songs for Lu Ming’s artists to sing, and for Lu Ming she gave up the chance to become famous. And for all the important moments in her life, Lu Ming was absent. After another one of his absences, Xu Zhi brought up the breakup, and Lu Ming disdained her, betting with a friend, “In less than a month, she’ll be begging to get back together.” Xu Zhi didn’t beg to get back together, and she completely disappeared from Lu Ming’s world. Soon after, a music competition program brought out a dark horse, the ghost singer Xu Zhi, all her original songs appeared in the major search platform. The mentors extended an olive branch and handed out offers of cooperation to her, and Xu Zhi quickly burst into the limelight.

Lu Ming couldn’t believe that Xu Zhi just didn’t want him anymore. When the rain poured, Lu Ming stood in front of Xu Zhi’s house waiting for her to turn back. After waiting for half an hour, the second floor window opened and a tall man loosely draped in a black bathrobe leaned against the window, his handsome face showing the laziness of the aftermath in the night, “My wife is asleep, what is the matter with Mr. Lu looking for her?”

Soon after, Qi Cai announced his romance with Xu Zhi in a high profile. Xu Zhi’s new boyfriend, was the popular superstar Qi Cai.

On the day Xu Zhi and Lu Ming broke up, Seven Points Media played “Good Day” for a whole day.

This book is a quintessential cheesy romance novel about singers with a slight twist. The good and the bad comes with it. The bad is that some scenes are cheesy and any "drama" related to fame is due to bad logic by the netizens/author (?).. the good is that this is a great example of why cliche romance stories like this existed to begin with: because they're good, cute, and exciting to read as a romance, especially when it's done well with some level of depth. The depth here is... more>> the "slight twist" I mentioned which is that it does cover mental issues as an existing concept and past details of a real mentally abusive past relationship, no joke.

(The first chapter: she doesn't stay in it so hopefully it doesn't trigger anyone too much. Only she talks about his past actions and deals with the breakup which could be potentially triggering for any sensitive mental abusive survivors. This novel may also be very satisfying for any of those who wanted their exes to feel regret)

Bottom line: If you like straight up romance novels with some star power that has a level of depth even if the romance is slightly cheesy, you will love this. Romance is the emphasis here. You have to be a sucker for it. The book is not hard to like because it's a classic formula that does well & also doesn't feel boring. It's a classic for a reason. Both leads have sad backgrounds, there's a fairly predictable relationship progression (to me), but theres an overall kindness the leads have for each other at all times. She shows the world how amazing she is as an artist with the ml's protection from her ex's side.

My only gripe is still the flawed logic that appears for drama a few times:
Spoiler

Its only a couple times. But it is enough for me to be like "ok ok I know what you are trying to make the readers feel like... Aka the author uses flawed logic of the netizens /public to faceslap. But the flawed logic is bothering me.

Her name as a songwriter has been listed in all of these songs.. so when the public was like who is she. It was one google or whatever away. It's not that hard. The MC was forced to prove her talent over and over as if the netizens had amnesia once another drama happened about her background.

Worse one was her famous pianist mom being made public and suddenly that was a negative for her...??? Because she has a " background". Excuse why did it make ppl mad? Do we need re-google her work, her videos, and etc again? Did these people get amnesia? Did they forget she's talented again bc they found out who her mom was....? Whaat. The f*ck forced drama. Forced dumbneess to netizens. I think this criticism would only been valid if she didn't have 100s of works to her. Name, evidence of her skills online already. Like? The logic isn't there. If I heard her mom was a famous Pianist I think most ppl would be amazed "oh yea that. Checks out she's so musically talented" not "oh she got here via her background"..... Nepo babies exist but u can't fake talent. Which was constantly affirmed before they knew her background so?? I think in music especially, you cannot be a loved artist just bc u are a Nepo baby. Paris Hilton had some good songs but that doesn't make her a loved musician. Like.... the logic for the drama is so contrived. Please. its such a small thing but it is annoying. Stop giving the public amnesia which in turn is telling readers they have to be dumb enough to accept this.

Like let me enjoy my lovely cliche romance novel in peace!!! I would have given u 5 stars then I swear !! In the end, like all sweet romance novels, they don't know how to pace the end so it drags a bit. It's all sweet. But yea I enjoyed it but it's too slow near the ending for me to give it a 5. I will give it 5 for now bc somehow I'm the first one to give it stars and I don't want ppl to look over this just bc of my star review lol. I'll change it back to 4 once there are enough ppl reviewing.

I really enjoyed this! The story is a showbiz genre where the ML adores the FL a lot~

... more>>
Spoiler

Romance is very 'orange-candy-ish' sour and sweet 🍊🍬 Before they broke through the 'paper' of 'I like you', it was a bit of push and pull (which isn't my cup of tea) .

But ML is too irresistable and charming (with a pinch of tragic one-sided love crush). FL feels she's timid (though I think she's actually really brave) due to her past experiences, but as she explores the ML, she found traces of him in her hazy and gloomy past. Her dark past is actually a light to the ML, which pulls at her heart strings (and mine!) .

I like that both the leads always look at the present and hope for a brighter future. Because really, their pasts are just so sad, it's even suffocating.

Spoiler

What I also like is their career journey. After getting together, there weren't many scenes of their romance being in the spotlight, they even have to avoid each other sometimes (you can imagine how complicated real life celebrities' romance can be).

ML is pure, innocent and very smitten. And he's also determined. He only loves the FL in his life. He never gives up on her, and always creates 'coincidences' between him and the FL, so that they both can be 'destined'.

FL is also actually pure, innocent and very stubborn. Once she decided on something, she never looks back and just moves forward. Having ML in her life is the most beautiful 'fate' she encountered in her life. After finally grasping the 'coincidences', she holds on tight to their 'destiny'.

The heart-beating scenes can only be felt when reading. So I wish you all a pleasant and joyful reading! 🌈🌥️💌 <<less
