There are two ways to go about rating this novel - on its lonesome and as a sequel to "Pat me please".

I will first talk about it as a story on its own.

It is an interesting story. The author is very good at character dynamics, and writing interesting characters in general.

... more>> The main two characters in the novel's focus are Xiang Wan and Chao Xin.

Xiang Wang is the secondary love interest of Pat me please, the daughter of the Prime Minister from Ancient China, who has come to our time and has to start living again "from scratch".

Her getting adjusted to the new reality, beginning her carreer as a voice actor and learning to stand on her own two feet was covered in the previous book, so at the beginning of this one, she is not a "foreign" existence and is well-acclimated.

Still, her main character conflicts directly tied to her past persist: she still doesn't know a lot of small details about how to live in the society, she is still awkward, she still is yet to let go of her past, even if she lies to herself, she is alone - she has friends yes, but at the end of the day she does not have a "home".

Chao Xin is her senior in the industry. She is a big name, and outwardly, she is very strong, confident, rich, successful.

We quickly find that there is more to her thn that, and despite her outer appearance, things are not as simple as they seem for her.

Chao Xin is even more awkward than Xiang Wan, and strangely enough, less acclimated to society than her.

I'd call her less mature, but it's not exactly true. She takes care of her adopted daughter Pai Pai, and she knows how to take responsibility. She is not some lost little lamb.

But she is still very awkward in places - for example she doesn't know how to dress and thus dresses in the same style all the time, because it was praised once.

It's interesting to read these people. I like it. Especially considering how well-written (and translated!) this story is from a stylistic point of view.

Now, to comparing it with Pat me please...

I'll admit, this novel is a lot less interesting than Pat me please.

I think it has to do with a lack of conflict? Back then, the entire novel was one big dillema fit inside a love triangle and it had me on the edge of the seat the entire time it was translated.

Right now there is no conflict. Both XW and CX are mature adults who, unlike the protagonist of the previous novel Yu Zhou will not overthink with her strong imagination, will talk things out and will come to a decision they both agree with - together.

It's like the "how it should be done" version of Pat me please. Which, inevitably, makes things less exciting.

Oh well, it's just my bad taste, hahaha <<less

I really want to slap myself right now. I tried to wait until this was mostly translated but waiting was something I could no longer do. Now the real waiting begins. Arrrghhh!!! *ahem* Okay, I've calmed down.

This is a very enjoyable novel; much like the preceding one, which, if you haven't read yet, you definitely should. Personally, I think you can't read this without having read that. It's like having a bite of cake when you could be eating the whole slice.

Similar to the first novel, I feel this story... more>> reads very maturely, very worldly. I don't mean that it's x-rated (not by any stretch of the imagination) but that its very essence feels like life. Complex and interesting but also very simple. A day in the life. How wonderful if we could watch this story as a Tv series. It'd be like the L Word but with a lot less drama, probably.

There's quite an age gap between the main players. If that's not your cup of tea, then steer clear but please, don't tack on a one star rating (because how in the hell would that make any sense, right??) In any context, the relatively huge gap might be an issue, simply due to the completely different stages of life they are in. One is just starting her journey into adulthood while the other is quite entrenched in what adulthood is mostly about (ie. mortgages/car loans and being responsible for another little human being). But somehow, it seems to work out rather beautifully. I think it might have to do with how even though the younger one is, well, young, she conversely is literally an old soul in a young body. She's gone through a lot in her short life and having come from a completely different (and ancient) era, she is already quite mature in her mindset. They're naive in similar ways; that is, both are young at heart when it comes to notions of love. This is a terrain they can navigate and traverse together, learning as they go along. It is wonderfully beautiful.

I want to thank the translator. It's done extremely well and I appreciate it very much. It doesn't matter how good a story is written; if it's translated poorly, even Shakespeare would read like sh*t. So, thank you, dear translator.

I think I've managed to say quite a lot without actually saying anything much. Ha ha. Give this story a read... I don't think you will regret it. <<less

So, as Hamster Overlord (I love this username) said, there are definitely two ways to read this.

The first is to read it as a sequel to Pat Me Please and hope that XW finds happiness away from an idiot. The second is to read it on its own. For me this story shines better than its predecessor and works well if you read it either way.

This is because I personally really, really, really hate love triangles. Pat Me Please was an especially egregious example of a love triangle for me... more>> because, and minor spoilers for Pat Me Please: (though the synopsis of this story is already a spoiler for Pat Me Please)

Spoiler

In Pat Me Please the main character Yu Zhou spends almost seventy of the one hundred total chapters slowly building a relationship with Xiang Wan. During that time we're told of how poorly her ex-girlfriend, Su Chang, treated her and took her for granted. Then the author smashes the relationship between YZ and XW and at about chapter eighty makes it about YZ insecurely pursuing SC, treating her like crap in the process. It personified every reason I hate love triangles. Toxic relationships forgiven because they're more passionate, leaving the less dysfunctional character out in the cold.

[collapse]

This story is much sweeter with way less drama and pointless back and forth. Its a good story in its own right, so don't give it a pass just cause it might not have as much drama. If you want more angst go read Pat Me Please, it has enough to fill a couple celebrity drama stories, with plenty left over. I'm kidding, it's not that bad or I wouldn't have made it through. Just not my cup of tea really.

Not that there's anything wrong with liking angst or drama. It all comes down to personal preferences really. Just know that the stories, while tied together, are still different. <<less

First off, I need to preface this by saying that I did not read the prequel (I dislike love triangles) so there are some moments in this story that (I think) are callbacks to Pat Me Please that I missed.

Regardless, I think this novel is really solid on its own. Both the main characters are amazing, their struggles (cough Chao Xin’s past cough) are well written and even when they are somewhat removed, you are still able to empathise. The conversations regarding their relationship were the ones that deeply moved... more>> me, there were a lot of genuine mature insights and their love shone through with how considerate they are of the other.

Another point I really enjoyed about this novel is how much the author emphasises the physical attraction between Xiang Wan and Chao Xin. Like damn their relationship is hot. This contrasts nicely with their steady personalities. It’s nice seeing different sides of each of them bloom through their relationship, like they truly are a match made in heaven.

An important point I feel like needs to be addressed is the conflict in the latter half of the novel. I’m not going to go into detail because spoilers but even though it is somewhat contrived, I still feel like it worked well. The author brilliantly presents the pain that Xiang Wan is feeling following the revelation and even though it seems like a somewhat obtuse misunderstanding, you get where both characters are coming from and I think thats the best way that a miscommunication plot-line can be done.

I cannot recommend this novel enough, it’s not really melodramatic and there isn’t a lot of conflict but the characters’ love for each other is so endearing and enduring that you can’t help but get wrapped in their relationship. They give each other the courage to love despite the scars of the past. Falling in love with Xiang Wan and Chao Xin is inevitable. <<less

One of my favorites of all time. Of course, as other reviewers have said, this is highly reliant on personal taste.

What I enjoy about this author's writing is the way she portrays characters and their stories so authentically.

Personally, I feel like this story doesn't do as well on its own because so much of MC (Xiang Wan) 's background can only be understood by reading the first book 'Pat Me Please'. MC time-traveled from a previous era so she's constantly struggling with her identity, and with fitting in with a... more>> world where the only thing familiar to her is the language. I think the novel portrays her struggles well, in a way that's both natural for her character and authentic for the readers.

On the other hand, the FL (Chao Xin) is someone who's burdened by her past but striving forward to the future. She's raising a kid, dealing with financial issues, and trying to open her own studio, all which come with their own problems. Though she receives less character development, it feels like it's because she's come to terms with many things before the events of the novel.

Their relationship is hard to describe because it's an unlabeled romance unique to these two people. While they don't have an official relationship for a long time, it's not really a slowburn because they establish they have feelings for each other early on. There is an age gap, and the concerns and effects it has is addressed throughout the novel. Both MC and FL approach things maturely (though MC, due to her age and experience, is obviously much more immature), talk things through when problems arise, and become better people because of it. As other reviewers have said, this lack of conflict may make the novel seem less interesting, but it's something I personally appreciate.

If I had to nitpick, I'd say this isn't a novel for those expecting a strong child-rearing theme. The FL's kid plays an important role both in the story and to FL's character, but there's not much of a focus on raising the child. Also

Spoiler

The misunderstanding MC and FL broke up over can seem a bit ridiculous, though both sides are understandable. MC's wording is vague because she's trying not to step on a landmine and to FL, not being able to accept that she has a child is an absolute dealbreaker.

[collapse]

All in all, very, very sweet. If you like this, you should check out its audio drama on Fanjiao. The CVs did a great job. <<less

6/10 (not for me)

Sequel story to Pat Me Please, secondary love interest finding her own relationship - I did not read Pat Me please because I don't like the premise of a love triangle with a pre-determined couple.

MC transmigrated from ancient to modern finding her footing in the voice acting industry x FL well established senior in industry but with a socially awkward personality. The story covers 2 mature adults navigating through their own situations, human dynamics and life to survive in a world by themselves. It doesn't have... more>> any dramatic conflict and reads a pleasant "human drama" genre novel.

I did not enjoy this novel mainly due to the pacing of the story. I believe it was translated well, but written not to my preference. The story read quite detached and cold and I struggled to immerse myself in the story. Despite a sense of mystery shrouding the character's background story, I didn't feel that the suspense was created well and information was described without creating the atmosphere of the scene well.

Despite my personal preferences reducing the enjoyment factor, it is a pleasant, drama-free story. <<less
