“Then why don’t I marry you!” Yu Dong suddenly proposed.

“You…” Xia Feng thought he had misheard.

“You see, you’re looking for someone to marry to ease your mother’s heart, and I also want to get married. We’re right in front of the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and with all our papers too!” Yu Dong exclaimed while holding up her red household book.

“And the most important thing is that we just broke up with our exes. This is fate, ah!”

Right up until they left the Civil Affairs Bureau again, holding a newly registered red book, Xia Feng remained dazed still wondering, how did he end up getting married?

Did he just pick up a wife at the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau?

What Xia Feng doesn’t know is that Yu Dong traveled back in time from 10 years in the future.

Now, having a second chance in life and able to secure a good husband, Yu Dong will live her life at full throttle and without regrets.

10/10 100% would recommend.

Absolutely amazing. It is so sweet, so fluffy, so full of feelings: love, friendship, sadness, anger, happiness, desire, anxiety, loneliness, heartbreak, depression, excitement, all sorts of feelings.

I felt that all the important relationships in this book were so deep; the mixed feelings the FL had towards her mother, the unwaivering loyalty towards her friends, the hopeful but guarded experience of falling in love with the ML, her passion for her career but her strong desire for companionship were so beautifully interlaced.

I felt amazed at how each of... more>> the trio of friends could easily be the FL of their own novel, and how they were developed, how each faced their own concerns, but through it all they always loved each other and had each other's back all the time.

Don't even get me started on the ML. Omg, my standards have been raised once again, I have found another ML who will forever remain as an ideal mold for every single man I meet from now on.

The translations are sooo good!! The translators notes were on point, and I always felt very grateful that they took their time to find the rightful lyrics to the extracts of the songs and poems the author included instead of just trying to make it by themselves and running the risk of ruining the experience.

All the little encounters the FL had during her job were so satisfying, the extras were so funny and still in line with the ambiance of the novel, even that sudden third extra that came out of nowhere was super sweet and left me wanting for more. <<less

It was a good read. The MC is specially loveable and I just love her personality. The story itself is quite heartwarming and there were life lessons that were touching and heartwretching.

Thank you for translating this novel 😘

The songs, poem and some of the lovey dovey words were really beautiful.

This novel reminds me of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul's' books. Is the kind of story that makes you realize the different shades of life.

... more>> Both the FL and ML had been dumped hence they got married without knowing much about each other. Slowly, they learn about each other and decided to make their feelings mutual.

There were not much of drama or scheming or villain in this novel. The story was light, sweet and certain parts will definitely tear you up if you are an emotional people.

*********Spoiler*********

Well, I actually felt a bit skeptical about the FL because the only reason she agreed to marry the ML is because she was reborn and knew that he will be successful in the future. It kinda prove that she was also materialistic although she did became a good wife to him but still it bothers me.

Plus, the author didn't really state a clear reason why her ex broke up with her. Not much of their story. This novel has much more potential but sadly the author just decided to make it short hence not much of plot.

The alien part was just so random lolll. Wtf was that??? My brain still can't digest it but since there is rebirth why not level up and talk about alien huhhh??? <<less

This was overall, a great novel. Good pacing, likable characters, and it was probably one of the best slice of life novels I’ve ever read. The best thing about this novel, for me, was the male lead. The male lead was respectful, gentle, kind, but the dynamic between the male lead and female lead wasn’t one like “dominant and non dominant” “wolf and the lamb.”

They both had regular personalities and jobs. No one was falling over to impress the male lead nor was he super rich and famous. The female... more>> lead also wasn’t a Mary Sue and I loved that. The slow yet fulfilling development of their relationship warmed my heart.

Yes, give this novel a try if you like slice of life and romance! <<less

Realistic besides the part where they just met in civil bureau and got married.

The romance isn't abrupt. They first just wanted to be married because of reasons and ended up being in love with each other. The plus points is that they are not against to it. Not like other novel that if someone fell in love they divorce and then play tag of war. Regretting that they let go of the person and wanting bring him/her back.

The pacing of the story isn't fast nor slow. It was on right... more>> track and it was also well written. Big hugs author~

Btw, it's my 2nd time reading this one. An evidence that I like to read it because I didn't feel bored when I reread it. <<less

"If you're feeling sad on a rainy day, may there always be someone to hold an umbrella for you."

"The best coincidence in the world is that when I want to start liking you, you're trying to like me too."

There are some quotes in this story that are just too catching. Translation is just too good.

It's a story full of sunshine and warmth. The radio broadcast tidbits are my most favorite. I could just keep reading this story on and on.. Not your typical ML or FL. But they are both... more>> adorable.

The story outlines a wonderful bond of friendship between the 3 Female characters. You wish you were one of them.

Easygoing, fluffy and fluid storyline. It was a pleasant change.

Await more translation from this Translator. 🙏 <<less

This is my first time writing a review, I really registered here just so I can write this.

Though this is fluffy and just cute, this is also a perfect example of a realistic slice-of-life. Except the travelling back in time plot, everything else is just so realistic.

Although the main focus of this is about our main characters, I also love the fact that the world does not revolve around them. They weren't written as OP. They weren't the most handsome/ beautiful, the richest, or the most successful to the point... more>> that everybody notices them and likes them. In fact, they are ordinary people who have their own story among every other people who also have their own stories. Because you can also feel that the side characters, and even the extras, also have a story of their own.

Now, about the main characters:

The FL, Yu Dong, is not your typical time traveller who became overly successful just because she knows the future. In fact, in the new timeline, she lives an ordinary and happy lfe with her husband. She's shameless and cheeky.

Xai Feng, is not your cliche cold-hearted or indifferent ML, or the shameless flirt ML. He is a gentleman who knows how to communicate how he feels. He's even embarrassed at times. He is also a loyal and doting husband who does his best to spend time with his wife despite being a busy doctor.

And as a couple, they are so healthy! Their communication is the best!

This is just perfect. There is a bit of drama but they are not unnecessary dramas that were just thrown at the plot of the sake of having some kind of problem. <<less

Its a great story to read. Even after reading it 5 times already, I still enjoyed it. Nothing revolutionary, some might even call it generic but still, I love it so 5*

I just love how savage she is with her ex when ever they met.

I do think that the romance is kinda rushed and they still need time to bloom.

BFF's

Her bff's are just a perfect garnish for her. RXX's "out of this world" love story novel would be my favorite if it had one.

ML'S ex

Spoiler

The ML's ex is understandable but sometimes comes up kinda clingy. Sometimes you just won't realised how precious someone is until they left you.

I loved it. I regretted not reading this earlier. This novel was very light and warm. It made me feel that there is still warmth here on earth. To everyone out there who's hesitating to read this, please DON'T. Take this time to take a break from the heavy dog-blooded plots and scheming. This is a very nice read. You won't regret it. (I won't post spoilers hahaha you can discover it on your own.)

Also, I'm looking forward to reading the author's other novels.

Rerun 08-01/23 and it's still as good as I remembered.

I just randomly pick it up and the 1st chapter leave me speechless and bewildered.

I seem to not be able to not stop reading the story and I can't stop smiling. I took a big bite and eat all chapters in one go.

This is one of my favorite novel especially chapter 1~41 ❤

Such a strong MC and know what she wants right after going back in time... that's rare and that got hooked right away.

... more>>
Spoiler

What I feel is that MC is a spiritual heal, while ML is a physical healer.

Even if MC want to stay low key but it's impossible because she always want to help people in need make it hard to stay low. ❤

[collapse]

This story is kinda like E-sport and live streaming novels and that is what I like. But instead of that we use radio.

So fluffy and you will get well-fed reading this novel ❤

Your stomach may hurt from all the dog food like ch. 31

Spoiler

It seem everyone got happy ending except one that we don't know about is the girl that called in to radiostations about how you got bullied st school, I hope she got a happy ending too ❤

Verdict: Simple yet very effective!


The good parts

... more>>
Spoiler

1. Theme: I love the theme of this novel. It reminds us that people are connected to each other, that we should all help each other out.

2. The slow burn: The mature love of MC and ML. They built their relationship stone by stone.

3. The exes: They are not zero to psychos. Are they jerks? Yes. But they are not your typical villains.

4. The radio portion: The callers are hilarious!

5. The FRIENDSHIP!: I LOVE THE FRIENDSHIP HERE! Out of all the CN novels I've read, this is one of the best! You see, this shows how adult friendship works; by reaching out and making time even though you have life and everything in between. The chaotic duo: Dong and Xiaoyue! And the last remaining braincells of the group: The sweet Xinxin <3

6. The possible spin offs: I am so invested on this side stories!

7. Xinxin: I love her!

[collapse]


The meh parts:

Spoiler

1. I am more inclined with the side characters/stories:

  • Black-bellied school prince X drunk caller: I am so invested! I wish they showed the wedding!
  • Xinxin X Beggar/Alien dude: Spin off please!
  • Qin Yue X Xiaoyue: THESE TWO! Chaotic couple goals!

2. I wish there is more of a definitive ending where it was really shown what life has been like for all the characters. The ending is really good but It's quite hard to puzzle the pieces.

[collapse]


Overall: An easy and good read! Perfect for days where you just want an easy read. <<less

This is a worthy read! I was hesitant because of the summary (because I am in a read-too-many-books-and-everything-seems-boring-now funk) but it turned out to be really really good!

Yu Dong was a single successful career woman in her thirties who was rebirth back to the day she was dumped at the Civil Affairs Bureau. After experiencing a lonely life in her past life, she decided to marry Xia Feng who was also jilted by his girlfriend. She then decided to pursue a career in broadcasting, as a midnight DJ, where she... more>> changes the lives of people call by call.

The story stared off comedic where the quirky Yu Dong meets the introverted Xia Feng. It later progresses into something more heartwarming where we get to understand more about our main lead and the various ideals of people. This is a story with themes of the problems faced by the common people, family and heartwarming relationships. There is also a focus on the theme of single women in their thirties and the societal and familial pressure faced by them.

Overall, it is a sweet and interesting read. It does not simply focus on the romance (like those 100% fluff yaoi stories >< you know wha I'm talking about) but also very human problems and conflicting ideals. Since it's such a short read, give it a go! The side stories are really good too (not sure what to feel about the last one though). <<less

I'm kind of surprised of the high rating so I hope that this review will help some of you to know if it's worth reading or not.

The story has a great starting (around 30 first chapters) with an absurde first meeting but still an interesting one. Our FL (Yu Dong) is shown as a badass and charismatic woman who's really clever, funny and workaholic and it shows for three reasons:

    • Even if ML (Xiao Feng) is busy with his work and his reseaches, she doesn't mind because she's also busy and won't complain about not having enough attention from him while trying to pursue him.
    • She can be very efficient at work,
      Spoiler

      for example when it comes to meeting people for important contracts she's very great at it.

      [collapse]
      The fact that she has a great memory of her past life is really great and helping too.
    • Her work as a radio host are parts of the story that I truly liked and where we can see how clever and kind she truly is, she's enjoying her job and is truthfully willing to do her best to be a good person.
FL and ML had great dynamics, FL teasing ML was something that I enjoyed and FL truly enjoyed it too (maybe too much, as she should though). They both respect that they're both busy and still trusting each other.

They also both have great friends, mostly FL because it seems like ML is more of the introvert side (it's actually said in the actual novel and that's not totally wrong). FL's interactions with them is always funny and it shows how much they trust them.

The second part of the novel though was a mess and it started when the writing process changed...? I don't know how was Sister Crab (author's name is Grumpy Crab) influenced by but the writing became a bad drama writing style that influenced not only the story but also their characters and that's where I'm gonna argue a lot with spoilers so be prepared, the first one is the one that I truly couldn't forget and that is the most important in my eyes.

    • Spoiler

      When they had s*x for the first time (and even for the others by the way) it has no consent, it wasn't too explicit but they actually did it (like beasts I'm not lying) and then ML said that he forgot to use a c*ndom?! How can you forget and say it after the act? It's dangerous! FL's reaction was even worse because she said that like this they would try to have a child together...? I understand that they're h*rny but please protect yourself first...? It also has this time when one of ML's patient died and their family were mad at him for "killing" him, she just assaulted her and then said sorry and I'm like why? His character was so calm and great, why would you do that? Maybe she was into it but I wouldn't be able to accept it. FL was a strong woman but when she realized her feeling for ML and that they accept their mutual feelings, her brains became so mushy that she would accept anything from him, even this. ML truly was so bad written in these scenes that I wish I could forget them.

      [collapse]
    • Spoiler

      When they met FL's parents for the first time, some people would laugh at it and I can understand but my feeling wasn't the same... I thought that they were too extra? Is that truly a thing? To this point? I really disliked it and felt embarassed for the whole 3 chapters with them.

      [collapse]
    • Spoiler

      That ending was so rushed? Why the rush when we waited for them to truly marry eachother since the first chapter? Truly disappointed.

      [collapse]
    • It was just boring and it shows that the author just wanted to finish her story.
The only things that I liked about this second part (without counting extra chapters) is three things:

    • Our protagonists first kiss, I admit that the way they fell in love was somehow unsure but their first kiss was a cute scene and after that we were able to receive some good lovey-dovey moments.
    • Spoiler

      An An came back to China at some point and ML decided to be really honest and direct with her and I really liked that about him. He admited how their relationship went (truly bad with a lot of minsunderstanding and bad communication) and that the more he was with her, the more heartbroken he was. Time just broke them and it was said wonderfully. It would be perfect if ML knew about consents though.

      [collapse]
      An An (ML's ex) has the right to do her work and ML just wasn't made for her because they were reaching for different futures.
    • FL's friends being happy was truly a blessing. Since we follow them since the start (and that their interaction somehow were more interesting than ML and FL), seeing them being healthy and happy is something that I truly liked.
      Spoiler

      Ren Xinxin being a mother of a wonderful little girl Ling Dang ; Xing Xiaoyue being with Qin Yue and having a good dynamic together,

      [collapse]
      we just didn't have enough of them and only saw them when drama or super good things was here (not spacially work related, sad because it was the only moments that I truly appreciated reading since chapter one).
I also hated some other characters, but they truly were made to be hated anyway so I won't say anything about them. I think that's all I can say for now. Even if I rated it 2, it's actually 2, 4.

Quite a down to earth story about trio of best friends and their life. Yes, I think that there is more then 1 MC. It’s just how I feel it here, but it’s not bad. Each character is quite nice.

Not much of drama here. Slice of life as it is. Quite a relaxing read. I didn’t see much of fluff, so I do not consider it as a fluff story. Not dark, not overly dramatic.

What I like in this story is the relationship of main pairs, ML parents, and episodic... more>> side stories when our Fish Jelly is on radio. It really get a whole different vibe with this small stories, especially that each of them had its own ending. Really nice. This author knows how to right fillings and it’s nice.

The last chapter is so weird lol It's really out of the genre. But the rest is heartwarming and satisfying.

You will not regret reading it and it's short. I encourage others who are still hesistant to read it.

I really like the couple, Yu Dong and Xia Feng. Yu Dong is really lovable and mature so it's not really suprising that Xia Feng fell in love with her.

And it's funny. 'Cause the scenes are light, not the usual dramas that are just completely infuriating (a real bullsh*t that makes you wonder... more>> why people are so narrow minded and s*upid). But nonetheless, there were plenty of scenes that made me cry silly happy or hurt.

It could be said that they are an ideal couple. I am actually amazed because they were so busy and yet, it seems like there weren't any heartwrenching moments. Really envious of them. Instead of the couple being too mature and cold, they were still lovey dovey for a long time.

Well, thank god that their son was smart and stayed warm hearted even though the son admitted it himself that he lacked attention from his parents, so he sulked silently and bearingly. It just made you wonder how a child have such good up bringing.

Anyways, Im happy for them! <<less

I have just finished reading this novel and couldn't help but share my thoughts here. My comment may have some spoilers, so please read it at your own risk.
I read this story only because I found it in many lists named "fluffy romance novels" etc. And the comments which said it was a sweet story. And it is.٩ (*❛⊰❛) ʓਡ~❤

If you want a light read without much angst, then go for it.
Some novels make you think deeply about certain things and feel emotions just because you find the... more>> situations in that story so relatable. As they say that, masterful writers don't just show characters emoting and expect readers to feel the same feelings. For me, this story had so many lines which made me pause and read them again. It evoked a hint of that same feeling for me because I or the surrounding people had experienced what the characters were going through. Those mini-stories of people who called the FL in her night show were quite interesting and thought-provoking too.
I had some questions that I thought I would get answers for as I kept reading the story, but the story ended, and I still don't have my answers, or maybe I missed those parts in which those things were explained, or maybe the author didn't find it important to add those details in the story.

Spoiler

So the first thing I was quite curious about is how did the FL die in her last life? And at what age she died? We read that in her 30s she was a lonely single lady who stopped contacting her married friends and going home because she wasn't able to find her Mr. Right. But what happened afterward? Had she lived till her 70s or 80s and died alone? Or did she die in her 30s? I kept thinking about this. Lol

[collapse]

Another thing was that what usually happens in "rebirth/transmigration/reincarnation" stories is that near the end of the story FL tells the ML about her rebirth. But in this story, nothing like that happened. I was looking forward to this part, though. : ( (It would have taken their relationship to another level. Well, that's what I thought.
Let's talk about the Male lead.

Overall, he was perfect, but there were certain situations that I wished he would have handled differently.

Spoiler

Like that one time, he met his ex-GF in America and failed to tell her that he is married. They met again and he told her that, but she didn't take it seriously and even he didn't try to say it again. Then when he bought lipsticks for the FL aka his wife his ex-gf thought that those were for her and took them and he didn't even stop her because she was with her friend, and he didn't want to embarrass her. Even though he messaged her afterward to tell her that those weren't for her, but I felt that it didn't have the desired effect. I bet the ex-gf thought that he was angry/throwing a tantrum of some sort and that she would be able to pacify him. And that's the reason she returned to the country and tried to get together with him again by appearing in front of him wearing the diamond ring he had given her.
I felt that if he had made things clear with his ex-gf during his 3 months stay in the USA, then everything that happened afterward wouldn't have occurred. And at one point FL made him promise that he would tell her if he met his ex-gf and his response was that would it hurt you if I told you that? And when she said yes, he said that then I won't tell you. Dude WTH. Why are you even thinking about meeting your ex-gf? Stop meeting her, make her realize that you are a married man now and that you both have no chance to get back together. Men. Smh

[collapse]

Let's talk about the baby thing.

Spoiler

So the first time they had s*x was the night he purposed. And the second time they had s*x was in the shower a few weeks after and at that time he forgot to "wear the cond*m". And then FL said that do you like children. I do. Oh, you do too. Then let's have children. They made a baby that night. They also had unprotected s*x after that day several times. And when she actually got pregnant, he said that let's wait for two to three years to have a kid (they were not aware of her pregnancy at that time). Dude, you should have thought of this before you forgot to cover your willy. I felt the pregnancy part rushed.

[collapse]

Two things that I found disappointing were that the side characters had their stories which were quite interesting, but the author didn't focus much on them. I wanted to read more about them. And the second thing is that I felt that main characters didn't get to spend much time together because of the workaholic ML. He was always in the hospital or laboratory, but the FL never complained about it. Her patience and love is quite admirable. <<less
