The beginning was not just dubious it was so s*upid It's actually insulting. Who would believe it? Villains should hide their bad deeds and the foundation of a normal readable story is tmfor the protagonist to expose those hidden evilness to triumph over them but the deed was expose quickly but the reaction was illogical. This was enough to drop it. I couldn't find anything worth enduring if the plot is unrealistic but I was bored, I had time and read through without much expectation while suppressing the wrongness of... more>> it. I'm not talking about the mysteries of a Protagonist's halo or even fantastical world building. While these things can be a disaster when done wrong, I am talking about the simplest logical reaction of a human being. I couldn't for the life of me think of any reason how someone who found out that one person drugged and trapped someone else to be r*pe can even for a second think that the person only made a mistake and they are pure and good. This isn't just the usual plot holes. Sigh. I should stop here.

Well, It's2000+chapters long so in the end I gave it 4 stars because it did managed to entertain me for a few days and things started to be fun when the wrongness slowly fades (Or I just got numb to it) after 6-700 chapters.

If you like HE and just looking to pass the time while imagining OP characters and enjoy face slapping, I recommend this novel. Forget the thing at the beginning you'll slowly get numbed to it after a while and the face slapping is really fun. :) <<less

Actually this is my first web novel that I read... Although for me it's quite a bulls*hit but it's has a poison... It keeps me drawn until I finished read... The FL and ML don't have much drama since they kinda trust each other so much... I like their child, little treasure...

Love that both the female and male leads are strong, and that their strengths are not revealed all at once but rather slowly as the story progresses. The relationship between the leads develops at a suitable speed. My fav character has got to be the son though!

This was my first romance Cnovel and my first contact with the cliches of the genre, so it left a positive impression on me, but re-reading some parts of it made me notice some flaws, still is a very enjoyable story.

The MC, Ning Xi starts as a third rate actress with a sad background: she is the true daughter of the Ning family, but due a mishap in the hospital when she was born, she had to grow up with the Tang family instead. Her position as the true Ning... more>> daughter was usurped by the real Tang daughter, Ning Xueluo who is a true green tea bit*h with a vicious heart. She bullied and plotted against MC to have her drugged and r*ped, resulting in pregnancy, ah! also she snatched the MC's sweetheart who turned out to be a spineless treacherous bastard. Tragedy strikes as she loses the baby and goes abroad for five years.

When she comes back, she starts an acting career but a fateful encounter with a child has her meet the ML: Lu Tingxiao aka the Golden Tight who pretty much falls for her at first sight. He is one of those iceberg CEOs not interested in women but for some reason he has an illegitimate son, Lu Qingyu better known a "Xiaobao" or "Little Treasure" who also gets attached to her pretty quickly. The ML starts to pursue, stalk and pretty much harass MC who doesn't want to have anything to do with him due to her being scarred by the Su Yan thing. He is an overpowered black bellied, doting and overbearing guy but doesn't come across as an as*hole compared to other MLs, still he doesn't have that much of a personality besides fawning over Ning Xi, well she doesn't accept him until some time passes so not everything goes smoothly for him.

Now the parts of the story that made me roll my eyes where these:

Spoiler
  • One of those times the MC plotted against: in one of those instances she gets kidnapped and drugged with aphrodisiacs. Later in the story is revealed she was an assassin, making this episode ridiculous.
  • the MC enters the fashion industry by saving a beggar who by a big (ha!) coincidence was betrayed by the white lotus' brand designer.
  • in case anyone hasn't figured it out by then yes MC is the kid's biological mother and ML was the rapist. It was kind of s*upid how that happened because:
    • MC went to the wrong room.
    • Both of them were drugged to get r*ped by others. The white lotus wanted to ruin MC while ML's family didn't want him to become gay or someting, (whut?)
    • They didn't remember the encounter besides some residual memories (ML finds her scent familiar in their "first" encounter and MC sort of remembers the man's figure).
    • ML had to be a a jerk to awake first and leave her alone in the room since Su Yan faked being the guy that MC slept with. Maybe he thought she was an escort that didn't deserve his attention but really dude? she obviously had bruises and probably bled and stuff.
  • The assassin's group boss mystery was awful: first he is introduced as "YS", the SATAN then it turns out he is a silver haired guy named Yun Shen and finally the ML's half brother... that was very anticlimatic. BTW he has a more interesting personality than the ML.
  • The last arcs after the coma were bad, bad, Ning Xi lite and European King were boring.
  • Speaking of that, Annie being the last boss was an awful idea and awful execution, yes there were clues but really, reviving the FL's dead child just to slowly poison him and cause grief to the Lu family? how in the heck did she get to know about little treasure? is she a better hacker than ML?, not to mention she repented because she reunited with her true love and the other people forgave her just like that? pffffft
    [collapse]
Ning Xi is a great character personality wise: she is cheeky, brave and mischevious at times. Still she has that protagonist aura and people will either hate or fawn over her: has an extensive harem of admirers comprised of men and women since her crossdressing helps her attract all sort of girls. The boy, little treasure is a peculiar child: a prodigy with some autistic characteristics, he is mostly there to be cute. In fact, the best highlights of the novel are the interactions of FL and little treasure.

Something that is noticeable is that secondary characters don't have much of a "life" besides fawning after ML and FL, the exception might be the ML's friend and FL's cousin but that was kind of ehh... sometimes extra stories that center around support characters feel superfluous but in this case it would have been nice to read about Jiang Muye and Lu Jingli since they were interesting guys. I bet the cousin one would have ended like one of those "girl forgives the jerk" since it was leaning towards that in the main story so I'll headcanon that she stayed with the doctor. <<less

When I first read this novel, I was really hooked. This novel is quite good.

WHAT I LIKE:

    • Showbiz setting
    • A strong and independent woman, she works hard for her carrier
    • little buns, Lu Jingli (++++) => the side characters
WHAT I DISLIKE:

    • Just the s*xual attouchments without the mc's consent
      Spoiler

      the ML touched her when she was asleep and when she took one time red-handed, he pretended to be sleepwalking

      [collapse]
    • ... the same plots, clich s and dramas
      Spoiler

      Like the ML was the rapist or Little Treasure is

      her son

      [collapse]
Overall, it's a good novel!

Hands down to one of the best novels that I've read up to this day. I first read this as a webtoon and it got me hooked. When I found out that it was actually based on light novel and it's actually completed of course I'm ecstatic until I saw that it has 2000+ chapters??? I actually thought that it was just a simple novel but who would have thought that the author could put almost every genre out there from romance to comedy to action to drama to suspense... more>> and then fantasy in just one go and yet give you such a satisfying and mind blowing experience while reading it. Indeed I might be overreacting with my comment but no matter what the opinions of others are, this story made me forget my most favorite thing to do... And that is to sleep! Seriously, it's been a few days already and still a hundred more chapters to go and I still can't get enough of it! It's like I'm high and I just continue to forget time and forget everyone and everything else while reading this. Others might think that with so many twists and turns it was too much to digest already but at the end everything actually makes sense. And most of the hints and little details which I thought will be forgotten by the author because of everything's thats been happening will actually and thoroughly be explain by the author. Too many clichés? So predictable? Indeed! But who cares? With so much going on in the story it was more than satisfying enough that the author could give justice to every little details they put into it. And seriously! Hands down to the best main protagonists NING XI AND LU TINGXIAO out there! I'm very much in awe with the both of you. A main character who made you feel a lot of emotions all throughout her journey. Thank you Ning Xi! I am very much in love with your character... That naive girl from the rural who conquered the world... And To LU TINGXIAO who has unwavering love and trust for our main character. And of course the reason for their lucky encounter... The key to everything else! master Lu Jingli who twisted their doomed fate and creating the luckiest encounter out there <<less

I like the relationships between the characters so much. It makes the novel much more alive to me. It somehow always has the capability to make me itch for more and makes me want to continue the story because I’m reaallyyyy curious.

The author somehow successfully incorporate a lot of genre in this story, which usually fails in other novels but surprisingly I don’t feel it’s cringey at all? The mafia and xianxia/wuxia don’t bother me at all, even though they were added kinda randomly.

One thing that I regret is not... more>> seeing more of Lu Jingli’s romance... I wish the author would make a story about him but that’s kind of impossible... <<less

this is a 4.5 from me!

one of the first Chinese romance modern-day ln I've read. so I have a soft spot for it :)

there isn't much to say, it's got a beautiful smart female lead and a handsome smart male lead lol and a cute son (sO cUtE)

... more>> tldr ITS FLUFFY AND CUTE AND ROMANTIC AF

it's also pretty funny, I really enjoyed the female and male lead interactions.

the female lead tends to get herself into sucky situations, not always her fault actually unlike some other Mary Sues, and before she's saved by some gold finger or the male lead, she is able to fight and think for herself. and sometimes she escapes from the situation with her wits.

tldr THE FEMALE LEAD ISN'T THAT s*upid AS FAR AS FEMALE LEADS GO

the villainess is a real white lotus/schemer bish and though the revenge against her is drawn out for a very long timeee, I'd say it's not that bad and I left pretty satisfied for the many times she was embarrassed/face-slapped/envied the female lead.

tldr THE REVENGE AND COMEBACK IS SATISFYING

one drawback that causes the 0.5ish star deduction, is that this is one of those sort of unrealistic everything-kinda-works-out-too-good-to-be-true stories, and also one of those stories that is sometimes pretty black and white and thus two-dimensional. again, kinda. not as bad as some other novels.

here's some examples, spoiler alert

Spoiler

at some point in the story, it's revealed that while the female lead was in the u.s. for several years, she got involved with this (I think?) assassination organization, where she learned how to fight and defend herself on the level of professional fighters. how she was able to learn all that is beyond reason to me, because it's assumed that she's just really smart and has a knack for it. BANGS HEAD

[collapse]

Spoiler

when the female lead dresses up as a guy, it's described that she does her makeup and then ends up looking like a really hot and handsome "man." That's FINE. I LIKE LOOKING AT HANDSOME WOMEN/MEN/WHATEVER GENDER YOU DECIDE YOU ARE. then she goes and wins awards/gets a lot of female fans for dressing up as a guy. THAT'S ALSO FINE. IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD. then she returns home, takes off her makeup, and puts on her regular clothes, and "returns" to her very cute, feminine look, apparently, and flirts with the male lead. AND AT THIS POINT, I FLIPPED THE TABLE. in general, the female lead will use her "makeup skills" to disguise herself and make herself look like a totally different person. It seems pretty unrealistic that she has skills of a professional makeup artist... but oh waittt she's just really really smart.... BANGS HEAD ON TABLE

[collapse]

Spoiler

the clothing brands the female lead wears is somehow much better than the villainess's brand's clothing that has a similar style to her brand. now the REASON is that the villainess's brand's designer stole the female lead's designer's designs years ago and used them to gain success, and he did that for years because he stole almost all of the original designer's work. eventually, the female lead recruits the original designer, and they end up beating the villainess's brand and exposing the design stealer. this was great and refreshing to read, but it seemed a bit unrealistic, or at least, that the villainess's clothing brand was so easily defeated/not a very good match. the original designer's designs were way way better than the ones of the design stealer, which to me, made the story two-dimensional. it would have been more thought provoking to have both designer brands be at a similar level of design, or having the design stealer used the original designer's designs at first, and then eventually moved on from using those designs and using his own creativity. that would actually make him a less pathetic character. otherwise, he's just someone who stole someone else's work, and because of that, is constantly going in circles knowing that his fame isn't completely his own.

FUNNY and FLUFFY. If you want a light and entertaining novel then this suits you.

Your typical romance comedy novel. Cold and domineering CEO male lead and an unruly and pretty af female lead.

Also has a typical white lotus antagonist and difficult and against the relationship in-laws.

... more>> The female lead also has its way to overturn every unfortunate events to a face-slapping one.

Even tho its your typical plot you won’t get to say its the same as the others since this is really funny and entertaining to read that you will want more of it.

I am kind of disappointed about the backstory of the child which I look forward to know the most. It was a disappointing ending since there no such thing as thrill. It might as well have a “and they live happily ever after” literally. There is also no side story for the side characters. So much for my unchanging love for side characters. <<less

The best story of the modern age.

  • FL: strong, intelligent, beautiful and capable.
  • ML: cold, charismatic, intelligent, heir.
I love Ning Xi and Lu Tingxiao, they are the best couple, the story has a lot of drama but it's worth it, you can't stop reading xD besides our little treasure is too adorable.

This novel is a gem. I teared up twice throughout the whole series and NOT just because of the romance but also the familial plot with the Little bun. The hardship the MC, little bun and the big bun faced throughout the novel really got to me. One bad thing about this novel is that the transition between the major plot points could've been better (such as from idol catfights to gunfights without much explanation) or why the MC doesn't act like her sister does to fool others but everything... more>> is explained after it happens so I understood eventually. Its rare to find a good novel that doesn't just center around romance so I'd highly recommend it! <<less

My first Chinese webnovel. It was a pretty good read, though it felt a bit messy in a few places with too many plot threads and characters around at once.

That being said, all the characters are interesting enough to keep it going for however many (somewhere around 2000?) chapters of this story.

Out of all the webnovels I've read this far, this is without a doubt the most well written one (and I wouldn't even call most of the others bad). The synopsis is a tad off, but if you're interested,... more>> definitely give it a shot. <<less

Finished reading some time back and I loved the story.

But 4 stars (the 5 stars was a slip of the finger) because I ended up falling for the side guys; Jiang Muye, Yun Shen and Lu Jingli. I loved them more than Lu Tingxiao. I mean, how could I not?! The three of them are simply adorable!

Well, other than that the characters were pretty good. I liked Ning Xi and the Little Bun. Their interactions were heartwarming and my eyes leaked quite a few times.

But I have to say, I... more>> love Perfect Secret Love (author's other work) more compared to this. Probably cause I'm biased towards; *cough* Si Ye Han, Ye Wanwan, Tangtang, Luo Chen, Nie Bro and co, Gong Xu, Han Xianyu, Ye Mufan, Jiang Yanran and her bf and etc etc... ?? <<less

At first I wasn't too sold on the novel since the time skip after the first few chapters was a little abrupt. However, I'm glad that I pushed forward and continued reading. The characters were very engaging and had a lot of depth to them; the plot was very immersive and had hilarious twist and turns; and the pacing was wonderful.

I just loved everything in this story! Well... maybe not alll the action scenes but it was OK. The most important thing was that this story had everything a modern Chinese novel can have! It had all the plots and storylines altogether and it made it unique.

If you haven't started this novel yet, found some free time for yourself and start it immediately!
