Adults romance almost non-existent, they form strange "love triangle" where only one person is actually have feelings, but understand that he has no right for them, another too much of playboy so he never try anything with someone he really care and treat as his family and third party is... well sick and tired of love? Basically adults theme is let's concentrate on our children. Only one with s*x life is our playboy, other two monks.

And best dad here is Luo Tianyuan, our playboy, both children wholeheartedly agree, papa Lu can go cry in corner. Tianyuan is daughter s*ave but he still reliable father who always here for his daughter for fun and serious talk. Father service to some point include Shen Yan so you will see that for boy he is too example father. While reading I had that heartwarming feeling that children dote on him and trust him very much. Mama Shen start as example mother - heartwarming and sweet, she here for children to meet, feed, care and talk. Than under Tianyuan influence she slowly transform into cool business woman who ready to face her past and fight if necessary. Although I'm a little unhappy that author made her too much of workaholic and she almost disappeared at the end of book. I missed her a lot. Dads not enough! We need mother too! More scenes for mama Shen!

Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan start as neighborhood besties, than slowly while growing up they realise their feelings. Thanks to papa Luo everything went without much drama, although papa Lu unknowingly almost messed up everything. Mama Shen can only sight and thank heavens for meeting papa Luo. Papa Lu can go cry in corner.

I wished the author developed their rs further. At least until they married. But it stopped at college.

Anyway, this story is also a gem.. FL & ML are so sweet.. And their parents are lovely. There are struggles and pain of trying to achieve a better life. And the interaction between parents and children makes it more precious.

The POV in the story is the children (which are the FL & ML) . They are cute yet so sensible. They tried to understand and follow their parents' thoughts and arrangement (which kinda makes me wonder how I was at their age).

One thought that remained in my head after the epilogue is save for our girl, her father, her best friend and his mother, arguably the tragic version of their story resulted in a happier outcome for more people. But except for the Uncle, all of those people are strangers, so I really enjoy this pocket universe our girl’s father’s sacrifice and devotion created.

about the extras: I usually don't read them if they talk about the past or a alternate dimension. Because a lot of times it's very left field in my opinion and it's just strictly written for the fans or written explicitly so the fans could feel sad when the whole novel was essentially fluffy. But a lot of times when authors write extras about the sad universe or whatever, it just is either completely unnecessary, something that they just need a random scene about, something that's already redundant, or like I said something that feels like it's just been written to make the fans feel sad for no reason other than to practice writing I guess. There's no real intentionality behind it other than purposely making the reader feel sad which isn't necessarily good writing. Because there's no real written motive for me to be reading about it.

So I actually really enjoyed reading about her past life and I would say it almost was the reason why I rounded this up into five stars actually. And the reason why I enjoyed this time compared to other books is because the author actually teases this life multiple times without any detail and without any word bombing in the original text. There's also a mystery linked from the original text that we only find out in the extras so it makes her writing about that life actually relevant to read. To be honest it even reads like the extras could have been a whole another book, the cliche version of the book, and that this whole book that we read was actually what would have been an epilogue to a tragic cliché book where everyone's happy in the epilogue instead. But I'm glad that we have gone this far in society where happy books like this fluffy book is the whole series of the book cuz I rather read that. Also I enjoyed the reading about the past life because it connects back to the present life and it gives clarity to why or how the story came to be to some degree. The main text does tease it, But that extras actually show it. Which show me that the author had this idea in their mind when they teased it in the main story. Which also shows that the author had intentionality behind this and it wasn't written just cuz. And that just makes it that much better. And also reads that much better as well. So I do recommend the extras because you'll get the full story and it was what bumped it up to five stars for me.
