This is another great story from this author! I usually prefer stories with more fantasy elements, but decided to give this a try because I like this author's writing style and story execution. And I'm so glad I did. The story itself is relaxing and slow-paced, like taking a leisurely stroll. The fluff and humor are integrated so well. Nothing seems forced or rushed, everything taking exactly the time it should. The characters are all unique with their own places in the story, each playing their part as the story unfolds. The official Shen Lu is like every BL lover as she subtly guides our protagonists towards each other. Our MC Su Yan is denser than a black hole, hilariously missing or explaining away all of the ML's attempts at wooing him. And then there's the ML himself, Nie Chang, who has been pursuing the MC since their school days, only for the MC to never notice his subtle or overt signs of infatuation. The system also plays a central part in the romance by issuing BL-related tasks and Su Yan tries hard to interpret it in a straight way as the system works harder to turn him bent. It was truly so satisfying to see Su Yan and Nie Chang get together and see them interact with each other as lovers. They are so sweet, yet funny, when together. They support and care for each other so wholeheartedly, without any of that wishy-washy nonsense that most other pairs get stuck into. As slow as the romance was in building, I truly don't think it could have been put together in a better way. To summarize: This is a great romantic story, with a system that tries to push the main couple together, quirky, well-constructed characters that add flavor to the story, and interactions that are sweet, funny and fluffy. It's truly worth a read.
