The author just had to ruin it. Examples: The FL's worker Supp FL just had to introduce the ML as the one who has been coming with the food for some time besides the ML had some interest in FL, then the FL is interested in him, etc. You can feel the plot too much. Then another plot where some guys intrude in too her shop and then the ML comes saves her, he gets injured, the police comes. Then it starts the FL OOC-ing too much, by looking after the ML kinda because yea he was hurt, she even went to his home to give the alcohol medicine which is OK but if you read further you would start to not feel the characters anymore FL and ML, you will mostly feel the plot. Then FL after a busy day orders out at night for taking food and ML comes, and they eat and they have..... Really? before doing that.... which I thank the translators for the warning. Do you know what FL said? She said in the meaning that she felt she wanted to kiss him and feel his masculinity when she was near him, like they barely met...

What this novel shows for me is only the plot feeling for Lust, not Love just... Lust..

1 star for translation.

my boy do be delivery boy on streets, beast on sheets doe hehe

I understand it would've been hard to raise 2 kids alone, but she wouldn't have been alone, she would've had her son help (the daughter is useless as well). It's much harder for a kid to take care of his mom and younger sister since young than it'd be for a single mom to raise her kids.
I get that she cared about her husband, but she wasn't showing she cared about her kids as well. She didn't do anything other than sleeping, lazing around, eating and having her son do everything for her. And she doesn't even speak, worse than even a pet.

To begin with, the way MC vented at ml's mother was a BIG NO NO. Don't ever do that to a mentally ill person. She could've killed herself that night and both MC and ML would've had to live with guilt and hate respectively.
In actuality, that was a more likeable scenario compared to what the author wrote, which is that she just magically and suddenly got all better :). You cannot be that sick and then completely recover the next day, this is a gradual process.
I get the pressure the author was going through from the readers, but it could've still been better handled. After the "wake up", she just straight up became the perfect mom she couldn't even be associated with a day before.

At least the mother was only sick for a few years, before and after that period she was a good mother. But ml's sister was just a parasite from beginning to end.
Her brother gave up his studies for the other 2, he made all the money in the house, took care of the mother and did all the cooking. The sister couldn't even fricking wash the dishes?? (She only did twice or sth when mc/XL was involved).
He's only a few years above her, but he's had to give up school and pay for all his sister's needs, her rent etc. Yet not only she doesn't get a part time job to help relieve her brother's burden and doesn't/can't study well, she can't even help a bit around the house??
This wasn't ever addressed, but as I was waiting for her to make some effort for her family, I kept getting more annoyed and realised she's useless (can't cook, can't study) and selfish (doesn't want to help).

MC was too cold for my taste, and ML too wuss-like.

The ML is very cute and sweet. He is so innocent and gets embarrassed easily. MC is the one who always takes initiative and every time his face becomes totally red, gosh! It's so funny when reading. The way our ML is, makes us want a boyfriend like him. It is a cute and fluffy story. This story is not only all about fluffiness and being cutesy, but also there is story development and character development in here.

This story tell us about a delivery guy who feels insecure against the MC, since she is beautiful, independent and charming while he is just a delivery boy with family problems and also whose dream is not achieved. Throughout the story we can see the character development in both the leads as they overcome their own problems and stand together.

But the only thing which I don't like about in this story is the ML's mom, just because her husband died means she can't just give up on life. I can understand that she is in pain or shock but doesn't mean that she will not care about her son and daughter and push all the responsibilities on her son. She will first become totally paralysed and only after few months later she becomes normal but again she doesn't respond or talk to anyone even to her son or daughter. And I don't like the fact that she is restricting him to do what he wants. And suddenly one day she starts talking and tells him that "you've grown up". I was like srslyyyy!!

I love the way she pursues him. No fuss. No histrionics. Some of the secondary characters are fussy and prone to histrionics but not the FL. The ML is a solid dude in a tough situation who cant help but reach for happiness when its offered to him even though he doesnt believe it will stay. You want him to be happy. The world building supports the story. The characterization is strong. Both their various jobs and dreams are uniquely interesting.

the plot about his mother's illness and her behavior, in my opinion it is nonsense, unjustifiable, and seems forced.

I also lost my father, so in general I know how it feels to lose someone close to me, even though I know everyone is different in dealing with their problems. But in my opinion, the backstory of the illness is not quite right, because it is very unjustifiable for a mother to abandon her child for the sake of her own selfish feelings.
and honestly, it's very strange how his mother suddenly recovered as if she had done nothing wrong before!

with a plot about life's problems, this part of the story is very nonsensical if I may be honest.

how they brush off the money problem considering it was a very big problem at the beginning. Suddenly everything was smoothsailing. Although it may be attributed to the change of ML's mentality of him wanting to be braver and face the challenges. But all in all, the second half of the story felt a little bit flat compared to the first half, though it doesn't make it a bad story ! It's still good... The author's note that was translated by the translator made me felt sad and shocked, I hope she gets all the support...

I guess this really makes me against people who make money translating these works unofficially, it's crazy the amount of money they charge for early releases some of them. (I think donations to support the translator is fine like I think this translator.) Because look, obviously the AUTHOR is struggling financially that she had to give up the full plotline for mother bc she was losing money/readers which really did make the story lower in quality.

He fell in love with FL for 9 years but lost to ML who was coming out of nowhere. And in the end, he even couldn't do what he dreamed and ended up working in his father's company. I hope he could be happy with Fang QiuYun.
