Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

For over twenty years, life has been smooth sailing for Lin Qile, a girl from a small town, with no hardships or misfortunes. Her only regret might be that she never experienced a youthful romance.

For over twenty years, Jiang Qiaoxi, the golden boy, has lived through a blend of joy and sorrow. The year he met Lin Qile, he believed he had encountered a stroke of great luck.

The newspaper once reported that in 1990, 26.21 million people were born in China. Among them were Lin Qile, Du Shang, Yu Qiao, and countless classmates, colleagues, friends, and family members around her. Naturally, Jiang Qiaoxi was one of them too.

* Childhood sweethearts with a hint of rivalry; heaven-sent childhood friends; 1v1; happy ending.

* A slice-of-life urban romance. The protagonists belong to the first generation born in the 1990s. The story follows the growth of a girl from a small town to a big city, eventually reaching the milestone of marriage.

* Jiang Qiaoxi (Qiao).

* The notes at the end of each chapter are for readers born after 2000 (if any). They mostly reference things from around the turn of the millennium and can be skipped.

Lin Qile, a carefree and innocent girl living in the compound of a state-owned enterprise in a small town, is cherished and protected by her friends and family. Her life is simple and happy. At the age of nine, she meets Jiang Qiaoxi, a moody transfer student from the provincial capital, a math prodigy who soon becomes intertwined with her life for the next twenty years, filled with both joy and sorrow. As these two young people with contrasting personalities grow up, their lives change with the turn of the century, the relocation of their hometown, and the country’s economic development. Together with their friends, they experience the sweet and bitter moments of growth, eventually gaining a life experience unique to China’s post-90s generation.

As the first batch of post-90s approaches the threshold of thirty, looking back at their life journeys, they have lived through thirty years of rapid economic growth, clashes between old and new values, and a society constantly evolving.

Starting from the millennium, this story tells a tale of courage and independence, of family, parents, and education, and most importantly, of love. The story is filled with a wide range of characters, rich with the details of the era, capturing the myriad of life experiences, the pains of growing up, and the blessings that come with it.

Finally! This translation is better than other website though readers needs to be attentive of some details 🫶

~

This is my second time reading a translated chinese novel. Which is I always do when my fav actors is paired up as leads on the live adaptation. I saw my first review on the novel and it is on October 22, 2022. 2 years! I finished reading the novel just today (October 21, 2024)

... more>> ~

The author clearly narrate the life of each the characters. I enjoy the footnotes a lot! I'm one of post 2000's so I grew up not entirely aware of what happened on the specific year so this just gives me some light to history 😅

Reading this novel makes me feel mixed emotion to the characters such as pity, joy, anger, etc.

I hope the live adaptation will shoot in hongkong for real tho 😅 The subtle of spg scenes makes me side eye all the time like "woah, they grew up a lot huh" Im older than their age but I somehow feel like they're more mature 😂 <<less

The FL is really cute! I usually don’t like cute FL unless done right and it’s done very well in this. The ML is the classic cold, smart and handsome (perfect) kind of guy. He’s got some trauma and needs therapy but I do like that he acknowledged that he’s selfish and possessive. He admits that he drags her down and always appears before her right when there is a chance she’ll move on.

I think her childhood friends had more personality than the ML and were fun to read about.... more>> I almost rooted for the potential Yu Qiao instead and wish they explored his feelings more as they were obvious but he also seemed somewhat cold. I seriously think he had a chance and the ML and everyone around her also realized that.

I recommend this for the FL and her family and friends and am glad she got her HE. <<less
