this is the only book in this site that i unlock all the chapters. the story is so addictive, refreshing and the illustrations of the author in every events are very nice, one thing that i look forward in this novel are Zhang's chocolates (yummy) 🥰 and Feng Mians paintings 🤔🧐😲 as an artist myself i can easily visualize her concepts people can relate into it without her knowing just like elder wei feels in one of her painting about survival and hardwork. the bonding and love of siblings are superb as well as their wives. thanks author for this novel...looking forward for your next novels to come.😉😊😁

Sigh. That was so satisfying. 😩 I’ve been a fan of Author Sora since I’ve read her first novel, Flower Bloom on the Battlefield. I must say, I always feel very satisfied, although I do want some epiloguee with little Feng Mian or Little Zhang Liang 🤣 Anyway, I really love Feng Mian’s character. She’s strong. Very decisive. She knows what she wants. She’s very rational. She may look weak but she can also be fierce if you cross her bottomline. Her character is very likable. Zhang Mian’s character, although he’s cold, he’s also very decisive. I must say that Feng Mian and him is really a match. It’s like Feng Mian is a female version of Zhang Liang without the rich trainings 😂 That’s how sync they are. The family was very lovable. I enjoyed every interaction and every banter. The story was very very light, which I really really love. There were totally no misunderstandings, there were no scheming family members. No drama, no angst. Seriously, it was that light, and I love it. The couple were so honest with each other, they were so rational with their relationship and they were also very decisive. They were always considerate of one another. It was a very harmonous relationship. There was also no draggy scenes, there was no prolonged conflicts. Everything was just so perfect for me. Knowing that this is the first time that Author Sorahana wrote a fully centered romance novel, I’d say it was very very successful. If I didn’t know, I’d never even thought that it was her first time. I’m so sad that I have to say goodbye to both Zhang Liang and Feng Mian. I always look forward to their interactions. They were so adorable. Anyway, overall, if I could rate this novel more than 5 stars, I’d do it. It was that good. And I’d just want to say again:

Wew, romance novel from Sorahana! What to expect? 1) The MC is so relatable. I'm not an artist like her but reading about her struggling with managing her time, whether you're a worker or a student, is something I think everyone does. She goes through waking up late, catching up on a deadline, waiting for feedback... I like how I can empathize with her. 2) I like how the ML isn't overhyped? I do hear about his reputation, rumors about him and gossip... but the writing hardly dwells on that? Instead of telling me these things over and over again, the book lets me get to know him as his own character. Those things were just stated because they exist but they don't try to convince that these are his qualities. (Even though the ML says they're all true lol.) 3) The romance is pacing steadily. There are moments where you'd expect fluff--those situations where the FL and ML are forced/given the chance to bond intimately but... they react in a realistic way. For some of these situations, I am not sure if the ML is doing some things on purpose when it might not be necessary since it's an arrangement... but knowing about his family's tradition made me wonder if he'd rather have this marriage last instead of having them intervene. I don't know about this theory but it made the story more intriguing for me! 4) I think the side characters cover a range of personalities and types of people you can meet--especially in an office setting. I look forward to seeing more of them in the future. Other than one annoying pest, I don't think I've met the antagonist yet or if there is one because the "NO MISUNDERSTANDING" tag reassures me that if there is conflict, it ain't something like that. Another good point in my favor! 5) Right now, ML's decision is giving more time to get to know the FL and her as a person. I love how she adapts according to circumstances. She panics but also relaxes quickly and faces them head on. The pair don't always meet eye to eye but there is no bad blood. I haven't seen them thoroughly annoyed or mad at each other. They take everything in with a reasonable mind. They're basically what adults should be or, at least, trying to be. In conclusion, if you're looking for a light hearted, no mess but thrown in crazy situations, and absence of misunderstandings, give this novel a chance!

Hi Sora. I never imagined you to write a simple love story. Guess ur just trying to relax ur brain from thinking up complex plots n twists🤣 The story looks good. A contract marriage with the CEO is a very common topic but in ur hands I m sure it will turn out great. Good luck and please make this story a lot more fluffy than usual.😍

I recommend this book and all the authors work to new readers. It’s a bit different light for reader like me who reads and currently reading her on going books, this book is reply good or rather I say all her work is really something. Thank you authors! 😊

Okay... This novel is totally different from what I usually read and what I expected! There were no clichés of overly romance, overly cold ML and too much sweet interactions and definitely no smut but surprisingly, I enjoyed the details and journey of the characters in this novel! This totally lived up to its title, "1 year of beginning" as it detailed how their relationship started until it flourished along with being together, working together as "partners". The foundation of their love is so strong as they slowly built their trust, communication and commitment to each other <3 Along with the right support of their family and friends, they managed to find themselves right for each other. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, Sorahana!

if you are bored with the typical backstabbing, revenge stories this is a fresh air for you. love the way characters grow without any cliche misunderstanding or violence. There is no backstabbing family drama, cheating fiance or any complicated drama,only a sweet,real storyline. must give it a try

I honestly could not stop reading this book. The romance is so pure and genuine and I love the fact that the author slowly pulls the readers in each character’s story development and growth with the right pace.
