The MC Qin Zhi Ai waited 8 years for her high school sweet heart Gu Yu Sheng, whom she went on a single date with and didn't remember her the second time they met, even agreeing to act as a substitute for Liang Dou Kou, a famous actress and the daughter of a family friend who convinced his grandfather to push for their marriage since she and her grandfather had both saved his grandfather's life.
The MC is r*ped, and physically and emotionally abused throughout the marriage since the ML hates the original wife. However her docile character (usual for DV victims), innocent eyes, and the nostalgic feeling he gets from holding her causes him to soften and fall for her.
Before they can understand each other, LDK then returns, crushing the MC's originally low self esteem. After a lot of unnecessary angst solved by day time drama tropes to make everything better (yes, amnesia), they end up together, allowing the ML to spoil her, as per the synopsis.
I thought I signed up for mid-tier rollercoaster but then this book turns out to be some gargantuan loop-the-loop thrill ride. This author is a mastermind at playing with your emotions. Be prepared to feel anguish, warmth, giddiness, frustration, sadness, and everything in between. Be prepared to use up all the kleenex in the house. Seriously, I might need to see the doctor about some heart problems.
Don't get me wrong, emotional rollercoasters ain't a bad thing. I love melodramatic. I love a good tearjerker. In fact, it was pretty good at the start. The first ~100 chapters of anguish are worth the next couple hundred chapters of melodrama. In fact, you don't really get a good grasp on this novel til like ~100 chapters in. The tone of the first ~100 chapters and the rest of the book aren't really similar. Once we start seeing Mr. MC's point of view, it gets really good and really starts tugging at my heart strings. I love how balanced it is in sharing both MC and Mr. MC's point of view. Very few romance novels do that.
So you might be asking yourself, "should I read this novel?". All I have to say is, turn back if you are looking for a fluffy romance novel. THIS IS NOT A FLUFFY ROMANCE NOVEL. If A Slight Smile is Slightly Alluring is your golden standard for romance, you've come to the wrong place. I think a lot of the bad reviews and the negative reception are from people who didn't quite understand what kind of book this was.
This novel is for people who like (in no order) :
1. Melodrama: Ye Feiye, the author, is the queen of melodrama. Seriously. I dare you to find me a more melodramatic book. The main couple in the story reach the pinnacle of bubbly romance, only for the bubble to pop. And all this happens 3.5 times. Yes, 3.5 times. So buckle up, as you see love blossom and wither multiple times.
2. Tearjerker: When I read this, I shed tears of deep sorrow, tears from being moved, etc. Basically all sorts of tears. I admit I cry easily. But even the most coldhearted person is guaranteed to sniffle.
3. No filler and excessive descriptions: What other authors might take 2000 chapters to write plot-wise, Ye Feiye does it in 800. For fans of flourishing immaculate descriptions that paint the most vivid imagery, right down to polished cherry oak floorboards and the yellow-breasted warbler perching on the thousand-year-old gingko tree outside, I recommend Charles Dickens and his lengthy writing. This book is about plot and emotion. No droning descriptions about superfluous things.
4. Excellent translation quality: Okay, this one doesn't factor into the novel itself. But I gotta say, StarveCleric does an amazing job translating the novel. Accurate translations. Good, clear writing. What more could you want?
5. Low key, quiet, nice, persistent girl lead: I know the trend nowadays is to have a kick-ass girl lead who can beat the crap out of all who annoy her. If you like that in romance novels, read Hidden Marriage. The MC in this book is quite the opposite, actually. But it's not a bad thing. She silently and persistently loves the male lead and it's incredibly moving. I would sum her up in the phrase "silent caring resolve". If you want a bold female lead, this is definitely not the book for you. Prepare to see MC suffer but hold it in, all in the name of love. And I think that makes the book all the more beautiful. After all, sometimes that's what love is. Yes, love is being caring and affectionate, like in those fluffy romance novels. But love is also unconditional. It persists through thick and thin. It means self-sacrifice, forgiveness, and holding on during the darker times, just to see a glimmer of the light. Through this novel, the female lead shows us that other side.
6. Brash nasty-tempered male lead: Nothing special here. Your typical arrogant CEO who drowns in money and power but not love. I'll just throw in a r*pe warning here, as other reviews have mentioned. Happens a couple times.
7. No love triangle: This romance is pure one-on-one love. Saves you the anguish of wondering who the person is going to get with. The side characters have a love triangle going on, though, but I think it's obvious who is going to end up with who.
8. Happy ending: Despite all the ups and downs, and then some more downs, everything fits right together at the end. The side story has an open ending, but it's roughly 50 chapters and not part of the main story so if you don't like open endings, you can skip it.
My one gripe:
The main character's love story should have ended a bit earlier. There was a perfect moment for it to end, but the author added one last loop-the-loop.
My other minor gripe:
I didn't care about the side characters' romance. Luckily the author tacked it on mostly at the end (chap ~800 to ~1000).
Book outline:
1-800: main characters' story, with snippets of side characters' story
800-1000: side characters' story
1000-1050: Another side character's story.
Other commentary:
This book won No.3 most popular girl's book for 2016.
The author has consistently won multiple top awards.
- No.1 most popular author (female) for 2015
- Most well-liked author (female) for 2014
Scarring. TRAUMATIZING.
This story is INTENSE. Nonono that cute cover with a pink color theme didn't suit this series at all, they should add splash of blood in the title and few on the corner. This whole 'romance' thing in the book felt like 'horror' to me.
I also feel that his actions are completely inexcusable. The author seems to think that by indicating he has been beaten by his father in the past will explain away his r*pes and make us forgive him. But there is simply no *expletive* excuse for r*pe.
-For people who can't take bad stuff happening to the protagonist
You shouldn't read this I'm reading this to see how the guy will regret his actions later on, I know theres alot of people saying that the story is bad because of the male lead's actions but the plot is pretty good, I mean there's alway this pain in my chest when something bad happens to the protagonist but the plot is pretty interesting for me I don't want to hate the whole story just because of the male lead, I know I at least care for the protagonist because I can feel her pain so im just gonna read it to see her happiness later on in the story. I give this a 5 star because I like the story so far, even if it's painful

- That is "gets good" 100 chapters in
I'll address two before one. I've always hated slow starts I shouldn't have to deal with unpleasantries first before getting to enjoyment when I am doing a leisure activity like reading. The beginning is the most important part for me because if I don't enjoy what I see in the beginning I'll just stop reading. Especially 100 chapters in is really stretching it. These first 100 chapters are really something which brings me to point number 1The male lead has to be one of the most deplorable, abhorrent, and all around disgusting human being I have read about in a book on this site and yes I am including villains too. Granted I don't go out of my way to read novels with tags I find disgusting like r*pe victim becomes lover and hell I was only looking for an unlucky female lead (because god dammit I want to see a relatable female protagonist with flaws) and gave this novel a chance. Which she is rather unlucky and the excuse they have for her to not do anything about the waste of space male lead is because she is disguising herself and self sacrificing in order to get out of debt. That would be fine if they would stop mentioning her fond memories of this as*hole whatever good times she had with this d*ck should be gone. I should probably get to what makes this scumbag so bad. So this stain on the face of the earth's excuse for why he treats his wife so bad is because he's forced to marry her. The girl is in the wrong for abusing her power to force love but that is no excuse for his treatment is the equivalent of punishing speeding with the lethal injection. He r*pes her repeatably, demeans her, leaves her to die among other things. They try and give sympathy points for him with his bad childhood but that's no excuse he deserves no sympathy. However with a heavy sigh I know he'll end up with someone Why? Simply because he's hot and rich and in these novels you can get away with mu*der if your hot and rich enough. Honestly replace his appearance with a sweaty old man and everyone will want him dead. In my idea ending she will find a job to pay the debt and wake up to see the abusive prick the male lead is and she will press charges (not that I practically like the female lead I just hate any abusive relationship) The sh*t male lead will end up in prison will multiple assault and aggravated s*xual assault charges as he is publicly shamed by the press. As for the other girl the cancer actress she can do whatever.
