Description

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

A 28 year old single dog, Jiang Ziquan, ran a hot pot restaurant for a living and designed houses for a hobby. However, as the proverb says, when one is fed and warm, one’s s*xual desire ******. The worrywart Jiang Ziquan’s only wish for her 28th birthday is a shy and coy lover. The heavens seemed to have heard her wish and treated her well, for she only had to pass through the Bureau of Civil Affairs and brought back a fair-skinned, beautiful wife. Sure enough, only the state can provide such beautiful ladies!

Similarly, the 28 year old Shen Yumo suddenly found out on her wedding day that her fiance had a three year old child! She originally wanted to avoid the whole fiasco and walk away, but ended up getting tricked by Jiang Ziquan into signing a marriage certificate.

“I heard your wife was given to you by the Civil Affairs Bureau? How did this happen?”

Jiang Ziquan lifted her eyes, held up that shiny red book and replied, “It must be because of my good deeds and virtuous daily life that the state gave me one! Therefore you regular mortals,” she shrugs her shoulders, “I reckon will never receive one!”

Everyone: “Isn’t it just some good deeds?! We can do the same by donating some money! Hmph!”

A “love after the marriage” type of story featuring two women.

The reviews on this novel and here and there. People seem to agree or they don't. Personally, I enjoyed this novel! It was cute, soft, and hilarious.

Jiang Ziquan comes from a family where they have one soulmate for them in the world. The moment Jiang Ziquan lays eyes on Shen Yumo, she knows that it is her. I've seen reviews addressing this a bit--"it seems her sexuality changed the moment she saw her" which, yes, is annoying when novels do that, but I feel like people are forgetting this part... more>> of the Jiang family line. Being straight is "the norm." Of course, Jiang Ziquan had her eyes originally set looking for a man! However, you can tell from her inner dialogue that she didn't want to marry a man and stay at home. She is a workaholic! Jiang Ziquan may not be a lesbian, but pans*xual fits her, I think. She wanted someone, her someone, that she could pamper and work for.

Her only thing is that she has a strong s*xual drive. There are some moments in the novel where you go "Ah, Ziquan, why did you do that..." but when I thought back on it, it definitely wasn't the worst thing I've read in a novel before. I would say it was the author trying to give the Jiang Ziquan (the top) more masculine vibes by being this h**ny dog who couldn't survive too long without some sort of s*xual intimacy.

Shen Yumo is this sweet and quiet teacher who was getting married to her fiancé specifically on that day because of a superstition from her grandfather. "You must get married this day or your life will be in turmoil!"--something along those lines. But upon her fiancé's ex showing up with his kid out of the blue, she doesn't want to marry him anymore. So, Jiang Ziquan steps in to marry her to save Shen Yumo's face after the fiancé's string of insults and because she deeply wants to marry the woman she identified as her soulmate.

Since they can't divorce until a year, Jiang Ziquan is very straight forward. She will get Shen Yumo to fall in love with her in a year. If she can't, she will agree to divorce. But in the meantime, she will treat her the best that she can.

They take some time to fall in love. It definitely feels unrequited and one-sided for a while, and that Shen Yumo initially feels like she simply would rather be friends, but Jiang Ziquan did her a big favor, so she feels she owes her and gives her a longer chance, which eventually, she does fall in love with her.

This novel is genuinely so funny. There are enjoyable side characters as well. I'm a sucker for sibling relationships, so Jiang's caring siblings were making me kick my feet, I love them. And no annoying homophobic parents! As much as I love realistic feeling novels, a homophobe-less world is also a refreshing read as well.

So, yes, I enjoyed this novel, but there were some moments where I wanted to smack Jiang Ziquan. But overall, a funny and entertaining read. How is a hotpot restaurant owner not knowing how to cook just absolute comedy? She's hopeless, truly. Thankfully, her wife can cook for her. <<less

Story started out good, and around chapter 20 I felt like there was a lot of room to grow and develop the romance between the two. However author's poor decision ruined this story for me and many others. Had high hopes for this story but I can't stand bad writing so I'm dropping.

Novels such as these need great characters to make them stand out, and this one missed just that. I found myself getting annoyed with many of the characters, and they just felt too one dimensional
