Jiang Chijing had always used surveilling prisoners’ every move to satiate his voyeuristic appetite.

Until one day, an extremely dangerous convict entered the prison—and Jiang Chijing was caught spying on him.

The watcher became the watched, the hunter became the hunted. Facing Zheng Mingyi, who closed in tighter with every step, Jiang Chijing was forced to brace his arms against the other’s chest, warning him:

“This is my restricted area. Please get out.”

Oh. My. Gosh. This was like a breath of fresh air. It was like the story was dipped in honey and sugar syrup and then rolled up with cotton candy. Basically I usually drop books near the end but I finished this one in one sitting. It was that good.

Soooo so good!!

I put off reading this for a while because the plot didn’t particularly interest me, but I’m so glad I caved and read it. Restricted Area is a perfect novel to binge in a day, it’s just one of those things you can’t put down.

Im a big sucker for smart, able-to-handle-himself MC and this novel really delivered. The ML was also cool asf and the strong muscle bound trope is also another thing that I am a sucker for. The plot was interesting, though I got a little... more>> bored by the end but the extras definitely made up for it.

Overall there’s no reason for you not to read this. Such a good novel all round <3 <<less

This book is an absolute delight, I love both MC & ML plus the side couple are also very fun to read about. I love the humors, the intelligent characters and the s*xual tension is just explosive. Do give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Pros:

Interesting characters. I mean MC w a voyuerism that tried to stop peeking other people and ML that actually ... more>>
Spoiler

let MC peek him and sometimes go bare chested to hook MC

[collapse]
ML is more of a logical thinker but still cute and much more fun to read than the usual cold ceo.

The tacit understanding between MC and ML is sooo good. They know how to tease eachother and talk things in such a roundabout way. The relationship is not the enemies to lovers like I expected but it's still good. They are such a cute couple.

Cons :

It's not really deep nor dark. It's like a normal walk at the forest. Honestly,
Spoiler

it seems like ML went to prison so he could meet with MC w/out being awkward

[collapse]
it's still a good read <<less

Loved this one. The buildup at the beginning is pretty slow and full of tension. The ML is written really well as a mysterious genius who's always at least one step ahead of everyone else. There is so much s*xual tension in this whole book that I was almost screaming the entire time. But when it finally reaches the tipping point the MC is very active in the relationship and it's honestly so cute how much they're both addicted to each other. Love it.

The peeping tom gets peeped!

If there's anything to get out of this novel, it's the fact that there is someone for every person. This novel makes that very clear.

I'll be real—this novel is really good. The plot isn't bad; it's not complex & easy to follow, not to mention it's not bland & is rather interesting. Not only do you get to feast on continuous servings of dog food but you also get to learn about stocks ooh what joy! (I'm actually being super sarcastic- I don't understand stocks even... more>> if being held at gunpoint)

MC is t-h-i-r-s-t-y & has a habit of voyeurism. Do I advocate it? No, I'm just saying that this fact alone was enough for me to click to the very first chapter to read this rollercoaster of s*xual tension & kinky plays. Come on now! Imagine the guy you've been eyeing (in this case, spying incessantly) on for a long time actually KNOWS you've been spying on him? God forbid THE ABSOLUTE EMBARRASSMENT I WOULD HAVE FELT.

Also prison guard x inmate situations are probably second to teacher x student scenarios for me OK- this is my personal preference shoot me!

I'm only going to keep rambling nonstop about this novel if I continue to type. Random stories that popped up in my head that somewhat have the same air as this: Your Distance & Pastel Colours

(they're quite different, but something about the styles of conversation & s*xual tension reminds me of the two—heck, even Green Plum Island can be thrown into the mix too) <<less

This novel is amazing. I love the mutual kinks and slow acceptance of each other. The busting of preconceptions they had about each other. The action near the end. This is like Pride and Prejudice bent together with Administration by Manna Francis and had a sassy baby.

I love the dynamic between all the couples, but especially the main one. They support each other and each brings a different skill to the relationship. They've each saved the other - there's mutual pampering, but you never get the impression they give up... more>> and rely on the pampering to get by.

That said, the authors is great about acknowledging how each relationship is different. There's one that seems toxic to outsiders, but seems to be based on strong mutual love and understanding. There's another where there is immense pampering. In the end, like the MC proposes, everyone has their good and their bad, and similarly, every relationship has an inside story. <<less

This was a fun read! I specially liked the flirting and teasing between the MC and ML. But what really brought this to life is the characters and how everyone has different outlooks on life. I love how it showed the different characters that end up in prison but anyway!

hundred percent recommend reading this, if you don't like too much chapters but still want a good story like me then this is for you~

I will give ThiiSsss 690/10 ;)

This was amazing! The BEST.

I usually get bored halfway through a novel and force myself to finish it but I didn't even realize when I was finished with the last chapter of the main story. The novel had me fully invested and I enjoyed every second of it :))

Love the translator for explaining a lot of the stuff that you wouldn't have understood without an explanation like the "when did u start liking me" part lol.

The ML and MC are a perfect match. Both as crazy and intelligent as... more>> the other. Both as h**ny as the other :3 I love how their relationship develops and how the MC feels like the ML has stripped him completely naked as he figured out his secrets and reads right through him. The way they flirt with each other is so cuteeee and hot ;)

The stock market stuff was kinda boring and interesting. This was mainly about the development of the ML and MCs relationship but it had the perfect plot to keep you invested. Its a short and wonderful read :) <<less

A very satisfying read, would definitely re-read. This book is seriously a good one for people who do not want much drama but still want an unique and interesting story.

I love the way the situation in the story feels complicated but its actually not as complicated as it seems. I love the story development and also the fact that the ML is strong, but not OP to the point he doesn't need to care about anything. MC is really cute and I love the way his brain works. ML is... more>> also a very cool, I can feel literally feel his charisma exuding from the text. I love the way the two leads are so compatible, the way they meet and their interactions before they ended up together is very enjoyable to read. I love the fact that there is a stark difference in the way the secondary couple love each other and express their love.

The story is sweet with no angst but enough action to keep the story interesting. I love the way the author made everything so realistic and that there are no unrealistic elements of the story. Also, the fact that there were not much unnecessary characters and minor characters strictly played their roles without additional drama made the story even better. <<less

It’s a true definition of a feel good read that doesn’t have any drama nor irritating stuff. Both leads have a mutual interest toward each other and in an equal footing in their relationship. Side characters are also nice.

this novel doesn’t have much conflict, it’s all smooth sailing!!! IF YOU’RE NOT INTO THAT, BETTER NOT READ AND GIVE THIS A BAD RATING

you’ve been warned ok

anyway, this novel is an absolute gold. MC and ML are both h**ny for each other lmaooo, but then there’s also fluff that will for sure make your heart melt. ML is very smart and MC tried to keep up with him, which makes their interactions very cute and funny. Thus novel hits all my spots for a light, modern danmei so it’s a... more>> 10 for me <<less

Thank you! It was a fun read-journey. I had fun immersing myself in the story and their lives. I'll miss them. I'll miss their banters and interactions. They're another one of a kind. Smart and powerful. Tags don't lie. The side characters are also lovable. This prison x economics/stocks was interesting. Their love journey is exquisite lmao :))) This be one of those somewhat unique or so called gems. I'll prolly come back in the future :') Thank you translator for your beyond the boundary hard work. You be one... more>> of the reasons why this piece should be rated high //salute (even had movie references and recommendations)

They're both filthy minded pe*verts and I enjoyed it very much hohohoe ;'))) They really compliment each other, which is somewhat rare ❤️ <<less

Overall Rating: 4.6

I loved some parts of this book, the fluff, the MC and ML's relationship, the complicated plots (that I couldn't understand as much as I hoped)... were all very good. I loved the interactions between the two and the extras really closed the story up. The many 'plays' that were illistrated well by the author. A few points...

-0.2, The ML was a little pushy, but was always able to rein it in before it as too far... This, even though the MC was okay with it, bothered me... more>> every once in a while

-0.1, The MC was built up a lot by the author, so much that I followed and was amused by his thoughts, but the times when I thought he would show off his strength the ML came in... or he didn't follow ith through as well. <<less

If you are looking for a dark, sado-masochistic, twisted book... this is not fit you. Lol.

This book is sweet. So sweet, your teeth well rot from it's sweetness.

Our MC is so cute, a little tsundere who considers himself very smart. Our ML is a high IQ convict... and a big vineger jar. He's like a big dog most of the time when he's not scheming.

The plot is neither fast nor slow, with lots of scheming by ML and our cute MC being played by him. There's no angst. We also... more>> have some side couples as well who are just as adorable. <<less

Good read with some suspense. MC, Jiang Chijing, is a voyeur but has defined morals. He tries to curb his hobby by moving to the suburbs... less people = less voyeurism. However, he had moved across the street from ultra hot ML, Zheng Mingyi. This is where the story starts off.

The plot follows how their relationship develops and the conspiracy that landed ML in jail. The romance is on the mature side and there isn't much fluff. MC is a tougher kind of shou, he carries a police baton... more>> and doesn't shy away from using it. 😏

Spoiler

MC had been spying on ML for about six months. He's extremely attracted to ML but doesn't want to interact with ML cause he feels guilty for spying on him. MC happens to save ML one night when someone broke into ML's house. Later on, ML disappeared and reappeared as a new inmate at MC's jail.

ML was plotted against by his boss and ended up convicted for his boss' crimes.

SPOILER...

...

MC doesn't know but ML knew that he was being spied on by MC. ML became interested in MC at this point. ML thought that MC might have been hired by his crooked boss. However, seeing how MC interacted with the other neighbors, he wasn't sure.

When MC saved him from the intruder, ML changed his plans around MC. He hid the evidence of his boss' crimes in MC's watch and also decided to become an inmate at MC's prison. While in prison, ML plotted against his boss, causing his company to go bankrupt and be convicted of his crimes.

Fascinating story, great character chemistry, and the translation is top-notch. The main characters are well-developed, and you even pick up some stock trading insights. A definite 5/5; I might read it again.
