Rewriting my review. This is really a romance novel focusing on happy ending. Every chapters are just full of fluff 🥰 It's interesting to see both ML and FL point of view. FL and ML are both mature adults so no more revenge or jealousy games like other novels. Try to read it, you won't be disappointed!

I often avoid romances because of overused plots and tropes. But this has been a pleasant surprise. This story feels like a Kpop TV romcom -- one can almost see the drop dead gorgeous Lee Min Ho stepping out in the male lead's crisply tailored suits, amidst the glossy, light-washed scenery. Slice of life details further emphasize this mood, as one is drawn into the world of our heroine, Shao Yan. MC is someone every career girl could relate to. She's single, has just left a failed relationship, and is determined to start life over in a new city. Compared to her dazzling male lead, she is very normal, very average. Therein lies the implied plot conflict, how this seemingly ordinary everywoman, who aspires only to succeed in her job, is swept off her feet and becomes an unlikely Cinderella. Is it for real, or is she repeating old mistakes? This is not your usual melodramatic love story with face-slapping, emotional abuse, and poor girl-gets-rich man-and gets her revenge storyline. Conflict builds up slowly. In fact a possible antagonist doesn't appear until Chapter 45, and a back story about the MC and this villain is not given until Chapter 50. Readers who want more drama and action might not appreciate the lack of intensity, however those who prefer a light romance to relax to, a few chuckles here and there, real-life office drama, and fluff and snu-snu will enjoy it. Since it's only the middle of the story, and the plot is still developing, it's too early to tell how the story will be sustained. It's the main reason I haven't given it a perfect score. For now it's a welcome respite to see a strong and independent MC who is neither a ***** nor a dragon lady, and a leading man portrayed in a positive light, who is not a bully or an overbearing CEO. Grammar and idiomatic expressions can be polished, structure and pacing can be tightened so it's not dragging, but overall these do not get in the way of one's reading experience. Kudos to Author Gold_Paper_Crane. May your source of inspiration never run dry!

Unexpectedly, the dimwit, her fiancé who broke off their engagement comes begging for them to get married like they were supposed to. "So what if you're stunning now and lost all that weight? Everyone knows you used to be an ugly duckling. Who knows the underhanded ways you resorted to to lose weight. Forget our past and marry me again." The woman looked at him and snickered. "Aren't you the heir of the Baker family? Why would you marry a fatso like me?" The man huffed and said arrogantly. "Hmph! Do whatever you want.

Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Yue Xuexia is just an ordinary salted fish that rarely lives in her house, but suddenly one day she woke up, received a sign-in system, and thought she was dreaming. The sign-in system rewarded her with multiple things, including houses, money, cars, and talent scrolls, which led her to the life of the richest lady in the world. She could sign in once a day. One morning, with her eyes groggily and blurry, Xuexia was welcomed by a holographic screen only she could see. Yes, like the ones in the novels and manga. Ding! Xuexia waves her hand in the empty air and mumbles, "Noisy, I told you to turn off the damn alarm, whoever owns it!" When a robotic voice lingered near her ears saying, Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host, and you've received [1 Million RMB in cash!] Xuexia, who is currently in need of great money, was in disbelief as she looked at the words one million and laughed. "Heh~ even in my dream, I was wishing to receive free money. What nonsense, let's go back to sleep. Yue Xuexia was about to close her eyes back to sleep when the old touch screen phone near her pillow vibrates. Bzzt~ Bzzzzzt~ "Urg~ who the hell is calling now?" complained Yue Xuexia in her half-asleep state. She picked up the phone only to see a message notification saying the following words: [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had received a deposit transfer from XXXX at 6:45 am. You had received a 1 million deposit and your current saving balance is 1,003,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)] Yue Xuaxia mumbled in disbelief and said, "Fucking hell! This is awesome." Who doesn’t like free things?~' This lady wants it too!!!
