First off, I did not like the main character Xia Ye. She is just so greedy and s*upid. I have never read about a character who is so blatantly greedy. It is said that she takes after her mother who is just so ridiculous. This is part of the joke of the book that Xia Ye always falls into Lu Jun's traps because she is so greedy. It gets old after awhile. I start wanting something new but there is just no character growth.

i finally finished trying to finish this novel when I got to the part where she shoves the cookies her boss bought into her mouth like a crazy person. Whether or not he bought them for her, why is she eating like that and acting like his good will is a token to act insane and selfish? Honestly people like this are raised the wrong way. The description of her and her actions are so vomit inducing, as in they make me visualize the disgusting way she eats and the disgusting way she hoards all the food for herself.

the part where she got on the bus to escape but tried to go back because he offered her a skirt made me so disgusted.

at some point he sexually harasses her. I'm not joking or being sensitive. He tricks her into lying down in his lap for an extended period of time, and literally gets h**ny and hard because he forced her face next to his c*otch. It was honestly so gross.

While the humour is quite good, it does prevent LJ and XY from developing their relationship. LJ is a guy with high specs (income, looks, charisma etc) but a sharp tongue and sadistic sense of humour that takes pride in misleading others. However in chasing after a low EQ, low IQ female lead – pretty much every time he jokes or misleads her it sets their relationship back a few steps. It’s entertaining for the reader and for him but his chase would’ve been half as short if he had cut down a bit.

Ultimately their inability to communicate fails create trust and understanding between the characters, but it’s something they’ve accepted for now. Or at least let the author bring out one last laugh from the readers before they start working on it?

I’ve also noticed in a lot of romances, the characters take so long to get their feelings across that they’re practically racing to towards marriage and children when they finally get together.

There's no way an office lady ogling a man in a towel after his shower is going to give me a nosebleed. Then she bit his fried egg to make it into a heart shape. I want to yell at her to use a heart shaped cookie cutter. We're just 18 chapters in and that he likes her is obvious and she's degraded to have the intelligence of a 3 year old diagnosed with ADD.
