A 25 years old falling in love with a 16 years old student is wrong even when he never done anything sexual with her. The way he talked about how she will bloom, getting ripe, the way he count the year until when she become legal sent me chill. He also waited her at her school...

ML falls for FL when she’s 16. And he’s roughly 20-23. That’s, obviously, not a good look. But there are some things that should be considered: FL is a transmigrated individual, and mentally she’s 18 at the beginning of the novel. It’s not an excuse, but it’s something to consider.

ML doesn’t do anything creepier than trying to meet her “accidentally”, like a schoolboy with a crush. Keeping in mind that’s his first crush and he’s somewhat disturbed like all the cold CEOs — with that usual “I don’t like anyone touching me and in general, except that one person” problem.

Nevertheless, I liked secondary ML way more. He’s flawed, he’s a bit annoying, not so smart, but he’s honest and caring, his heart is in the right place and he tries hard. He’s not as dazzling as the main ML, his family is humbler and is a bit embarrassing, but I‘m reading right now mostly to see if author will give him a HE. A good boy, deserves the best girl, who’ll like him for who he is. FL isn’t good enough for him.

That Lin guy is a creep who became obsessed with a kid, started following the kid around (he follows her to parks, to random streets, to her school, to her home, it's absurd), manipulated her to think of himself as a "safe person" (I don't care if he's never hurt her before, his obsessive behavior screams unsafe to me), he monitors her schedule and her life (he always appears at weird times, like that time she was crying at the park and he popped up out of nowhere there, or the most recent time, when he's supposed to be f*cking living his life in Beijing and he appears uninvited at an important event at another city, just because he couldn't stand the idea of this high school girl being happy and for once acting like a kid by posting a photo with the probably only person she can call a friend. Honestly, maybe if he didn't exist, she could've actually have tried to establish a healthy relationship with her new family (which would be hard and angst-y, yeah, but that's life), could have been closer to Yi Tianyu and that other X-something classmate, and maybe even have made some girlfriends. I don't know, I just feel it would be completely different. I really feel that the ML is an obstacle in her life. Instead of support her to empower herself, he makes her dependant on himself.

I really want to get her a restriction order against this mf. Especially after reading the most recent chapters where he literally f*cked up his hand, just because he couldn't stand seeing her interacting with a boy her age.

the ML's parents never try to understand their son. They force him to go to blind date and secretly arrange blind date for him even though he said no. His own grandfather colluded with his uncle to kill him. Yet the parents only angry for a while then ask him to forgive his grandfather using "oh that your own grandfather, how could you do this to him blablabla. "

How I wish Shu Lan and Yu Cheng has a happy ending ! They love each other so much ! But Yu Cheng's parents disagree and keep yu cheng feeling guilty while using parents love, like ' look your behaviour is making your dad sick, mom is sad because you". I cried when Shu Lan died. She died because she want to save Yu Cheng's life. I cried when Yu Cheng goes crazy after that. Every moments, he keeps uttering Shu Lan name. But I never feel sad or sympathy for Yu Cheng's parents. They force Yu Cheng to break up with Shu Lan. Force him to marry a girl 'who is on par with yu cheng'.

I remember what the ML said,
if Yu Cheng died, the pain and regret will go away in the passage of time. But witnessing their own son went crazy because of them will make them forever remember the mistakes they make. And I agree with this. I just wish perhaps in the next life, Shu Lan and Yu Cheng will be together happily.

The love interest is a man who does not hesitate to approach a 16 year old when she's alone while concealing his true intentions. For all the insistence that she is too young, he makes no effort to ensure their interactions take place in settings that are safer for her (e.g. alone time in his car?!), much less distance himself from her. Saving his life or not, wouldn't it be appropriate to let her parents know that she is exchanging texts frequently with an older male stranger? That's dangerous internet chatroom area.

Don't give me that crap about her mental age being older. That's what all the pervs say to everyone, including their victims, to make it sound okay. She'd only just completed the high school examinations before transmigrating, with no prior experience with a dating relationship. She in all her naivety thinks he's this grateful guy that just wants to be friends but that's not true! And it's not like he knows about the transmigration anyway.

Given the dodgy circumstances under which they are interacting, the onus is on the adult to be responsible and say no to the the gonads' desire to get closer to her. Maybe stay away from her until she's an adult AND perhaps after the power dynamics are no longer unbalanced? Reminder: he knows he's the adult here and his whining about her age sounds so empty when juxtaposed with his grooming.

Seriously, these romance novels need to stop romanticizing grooming behavior. The setting isn't even in ancient China, where being creepy has a different standard.

And what is with his sl*t shaming? Apparently, some other matchmade girl is not worthy of him because he dug up dirt on her having had six ex-boyfriends and an abortion in the past. Dude, you creeping on her history aside, accidents happen and I don't see you walking children in nature or offering to adopt unwanted children. Get off your high horse. The only person you'll ever date is someone you started grooming from the age of 16. I'm sure you know what makes for a good relationship.

It's so eye-rolling for the genre to place sexual purity on this pedestal and put down random cannon fodder women just to make the protagonist look good. That's what happens when you rely on something as shallow as falling in love at first sight but you don't want the protagonist to look undeserving and have readers hate her.

This novel has HEA and the novel's mood is quite enjoyable for most of the chapters. In addition, there are several extra chapters after the ending. Fair warning, the last extra chapter has the potential to make anyone feel touched, reflect, and/or even cry. Personally, I feel super bittersweet about it and has the urge to sob upon male lead's first departure. Maybe, because I have read the story from start to finish and grew along with the characters so the last extra chapter truly hits deep

Prepare your heart for potential second male lead syndrome :')
