READ - i absolutely loved this story, read my review bc i went off, but in short its very well written...  Story focused, so there's... more>> not much romance or character development/ drama, but the story is so so good  <<less

COMPLETED 10/10 I know everyone and their mother loves this story and you are probably tired of seeing it in lists with good reviews. But... more>> you know what sometimes things are deserving of the praise they get. This is one of those cases <3 Compared to this author's other work svsss, the story in this one is a great improvement. Or even compared to most novels really, this is top notch.No plot wholes, no shallow " i am evil and just that" villains, interesting side characters, Not predictable plot threads. The main characters are also perfect and very complex aaaa i love them so much. But the ones who read this story have to bear a curse, that is called "insatisfaction". You will never be able to read mediocre novels anymore because their flaws will become very apparent after you read something this good; comparing will be inevitable. so yeah lmao read this is so good <<less

READ - 10/10 this is so long but it was a good journey. I absolutely loved it and i can't believe people say that this is worse than MDZS, or "bland". Now that i've finished this, i can say for sure that is just as good.The mystery-solving element of most MXTX novels is my favorite part, and the cases,revelations and twist were really well written on this one. Also the romance holy shit? it was so good, a lot of build up, cute moments, natural development.... As always her characters are distinct, is good to see she doesnt have " i can only write one relationship dynamic" syndrome. ... more>>

I loved this a lot and i think you should read it; characters and side characters and likeable, and have solid, different personalities (their interactions are super fun). The plot is AMAZING, as i said before, and the romance is also top notch, her writing improved a lot. The story is non - linear ( goes from the present to the past to the present again etc) and this is really hard to pull off, but in this story the transitions and placing of these changes are perfect, you don't feel confused reading it. I admit that there are some minor flaws, but they don't spoil the reading experience for me <<less

READ - Honestly i've got mixed feelings about this one because it was so close to being perfect but then, it wasn't and it was... more>> a bit frustrating, even. I liked this a lot when reading it the first time, something was a bit off but i couldnt put my finger on it, and then i was like aight doesnt matter, i like it anyway. But re reading i think i have a more critical analysis. First of all: the characters are really well written, and consistent. Luo binghe's abandoment issues and how they shaped his personality was really interesting, and his reactions to situations, althought not always the best or right thing to do, made sense with his character. Shen QQ's had a different, but equally well-developed "self". So that, the author got right. Because of this, and her abilities to write complex drama, the conflicts between the main characters didn't feel like they could be solved easily if they had half a brain, it was actually believable and didn't have a right and obvious answer, so actually conflicting. That's why it was so close to being perfect...if she had kept this up, it would have been awesome. But at some point a misunderstanding that actually had grounds was undone; both parties were aware of the other's real feelings, and how they didnt conflict, and yet like they continued fighting in the same way? none of them sat down and was like listen. i think there's been a mixup here, no!! they just kept fighting like before. This, paired with what i thought was a rushed ending, kinda ruined it  for me. I have no problems with couples that only get together at the end, but really in this one it was just ridiculous they only got together in the ending of the last chapter, and they'd been fighting for yearsss. They had to spend more time "redeeming" luo binghe too, bc it's problematic the  way it is now <<less

a masterpiece. really love this one. took a weird turn at chapte ~40ish, but still love it

i really like the mu*der mystery part, i was entertained,but the romance......... more>>

love the Ml to death, hate the MC to death too <<less

LOVE a good healthy romance... more>>

tl was kinda of weird but  fine  <<less

great, refreshing

READ - This was very cute, nothing too over the top, very realistic romance with some funny bits ( shang ye number lol) but i... more>> really liked it. It is a bit slow, and there arent any GRAND dramas nicholas sparks style, so if thats your thing you will be bored. if you prefer realism ( like yo ) then this is for you <<less

READ - good?? as f*ck?? aaaaa so so sweet

READ -  The translation is very smooth, and the storyline is really good. The order in which things happen/ are revealed makes sense. Althought it... more>> is a light story, when drama is needed, you can bet it is there my dudes. The battles don't feel like they have no consequence because "the main character always wins". Because of that, i couldn't guess the ending. Not to spoil it but it was a nice surprise. All of things things create a great reading experience. solid writing. The mc ( Du ze) is likeable: he has a great personality and hilarious. As for the romance, it's good enough, i felt as if my heart was being squeezed towards the end. The story is a bit lenghty, dense at times, and there could be more meaningful romance interactions throughout the book (its more focused on the end), and a bit more of focus on the ML. So if i were writing, i would change a couple things. Still good tho <<less

READ -  omg this very entertaining. I love this story, the first chapter actually made me laugh out loud. This is funny and the characters... more>> are super cute!! GIVE IT A READDD short and awesome <<less

READ - super good, funny af

READ - cute but a bit plain.... i like the characters and i like the romance. The romantic moments that were there were great, but... more>> unfortunately they were few and far apart. If you are going to have less romance, you have to strenghten your plot, which they didn't do, so it was a bit lacking in both at times <<less

READ - it started out with a fastt pacing to a fault, things were being presented in a very matter of fact way, but that... more>> only happened in chapter 1. After that, it was really nice. A cute story <<less

READ - Nothing remarkable, but it is certainly cute, and a light read. Translation is wacky, and the pacing is kinda weird too, i think... more>> because of that. But it's a good no conflict, sweet story, good to clear ur mind <<less

READ - fluff was cute, but like thats it. No plot whatsoever, no character development. But hey! fluff is cute 

READ - author has talent, as seen by the well written instances and cute and comedic romance scenes, but failed to develop a good plot... more>> that tied everything together, and the explanations for things felt like last minute thoughts. ML reason for loving MC was kinda flimsy, and there was no real foundation for their romance, but the cute scenes distracted me from that <<less

READ - guess who didnt read the tragedy tag ... more>>

im mean i really, really like it. short, but i like the characters, i like the romance, and i like the setting. It is simple, but well written. But the ending omg? it was kinda happy overall i guess but so sad dude <<less

the only reason i can guess for someone to rate this less then 5 stars is being blind and pressing incorrectly

read main story and extras

i put this on hold for like 3 months. the first 15 chapters were rough ngl, but it got good towards the end? not perfect... more>> but a pleasant surprise <<less

probably the only face slapping novel that i wholeheartedly liked, thats saying a lot. Love mc, love ml, love the progression of romance ( slow... more>> burn yay) <33 <<less

a fine novel. Good smut and fluff, and both characters and their interactions are charming, the angst was really angsty so kudos, but idk the... more>> resolution didnt make me happy for some reason <<less
