Why did the male lead suddenly fall for the main character? Her legs?... Really? Well, alright.. but why did he almost instantly become obsessed with her? It felt like there was going to be reveal where in the past without knowing him, she treated him really nicely or something and he's always remembered it. I know not all stories need something like that, but the way he acted almost implied that. It just made things kind of never connect, leaving an odd taste in my mouth towards the relationship.

The more important reason I didn't really like this story was because the male lead is kind of a h**ny a**hole. Every other thing out of his mouth was how he wanted to sleep with her, and then proceeded to. However it wasn't done well. He just came off as a s*x starved pe*vert who only wanted her for her body.

Also, he shuts down a movie role she worked her to get because there were "intimate scenes" in it. She gets mad because he doesn't respect her and her career and he rightly apologizes. You think he'd learn, right? No.. Later on when she's gone for five days due to a movie shoot, he suddenly flies/drives over there and sees the director yelling at her (and rightly so due to her nervous/poor acting at the time) and in turn yells at the director, telling him not to yell at the main character in front of all of her coworkers. How is that in any way respectful to her career? Yet does she even get upset this time? Not even remotely. Ermm.. ok? He then goes on to tell her to act like a completely different person when she meets his parents, more elegant and restrained. So.. you're basically telling her not to act like herself in order to please your stuffy pretentious parents. She of course screws up and he's actually upset with her until some s*upid thing happens and it's not brought up again.

All in all, he never changes his ways of completely controlling every aspect of her life, whether it comes to secretly setting up the movie deal she becomes famous for or trying to convince her to just stop working and let him pay for everything. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people in reality would love to be in a relationship like that, but this is a story about a girl who was more or less abandoned by her family and worked hard on her own. In the end it just left a bad taste in my mouth

1. Plot? What plot!

The main plot here is rather simple. A rich handsome CEO and unknown actress fall in love at first meeting and become lovers after two or three dates later. During the process, the actress is gaining fame.

The subplots exist but are just touching the surface. For example, ML's Dad opposes the marriage but he quickly lets it go because ML never listens to him anyway.

And there's Yu Kaize, the Universe's prince, who likes to flirt with MC. MC suspects it's not because he is genuinely interested in her, but only God knows the real reason behind his behaviour. No further explanation.

And there's TaoTao too. She is warm to MC on the front, but badmouthing MC on the back, but actually never has worth-to-mention conflict with MC. I dont understand why such subplot appear on the first place, like, is it just to extend the length of chapters?

2. Almost nonexisting character development

Reading a story bears the same expectation as peeling an onion. It's expected to have layer after layer. In this story though, what you get from the first 15 chapters has covered 90% of character development.

There's once a disagreement between MC and ML, in which ML promises to respect her opinion and not to be overbearing anymore. However, in my eyes, his promise is only lip service. He is still like 'Let's meet my parents' instead of 'Are you ready to meet my parents?'

MC does change a little. From pure and innocent into more shameless. The question is, is this change a good change?

3. Straightforward narration

Metaphors, similes, idioms, proverbsーthere are so many writing techniques that can enrich a narration, but most of the time Chestnut just goes with simple description such as, 'she smiled', 'she chuckled', etc. It's not really wrong for a narration to be this straightforward. However, a if the narration is like this the entire time, it hints that the writer is not rich in vocabularies and expressions. Fiction is a form of art. So it will be better if the narration can be a little bit more artistic, for example by using more metaphor or simile or such.

when the ML asked her to act like a “refined, gentle young miss of a rich family” in front of his mom and dad. that was such a turn-off, I have no idea why the author decided to add that part in ?

[Ren Shanshan] If you’re not scared a rogue is cultured, you should at least be scared that a pe*vert is patient

She pulled out her phone from her bag and sent a text to Ren Shanshan.

“Shanshan, I believe you now. If you’re not afraid of educated ruffians, you have to worry about pe*verts with patience. qaq”

1.) He has a fetish for long legs.

2.) He already says "I love you" after meeting a few times.

3.) He is very lustful. - I only finished 21 chapters, but the amount of times they kissed and had s3x was already mentioned a LOT.

MC is a good actress with great assets as repeatedly mentioned in the story. The only achievements she got without any help from ML were being viral for a short time due to a 2-episode role and then getting a shoes advertisement and magazine feature. She hasn't made it big yet in her career, but after this she already started basking in ML's glory.

There's also a rich guy who attempts to steal MC when it's been announced that she already has a boyfriend.
