I started reading this at 3am and read the whole thing. This book is weird...scratch that. It's unusual. Most books are so predictable that I skim over most of each chapter. In this book there was something going on in every paragraph. You have to read every word because the most off-hand remarks might mean something later. The spell thing is weird, but I like their interactions. The ML isn't sexually aggressive, and he doesn't solve all of her problems. What he does is right the wrongs committed against the FL to give her a level playing field. The side stories of the Gao grandson, her Qiu classmate and her fellow math competitors are engaging and don't feel like filler. You wonder what will happen to these characters. Her parents are pretty cool, and the arc where her mom stops being bullied by her mother-in-law is very cool. I wish we didn't have to wait so long because I want to know if her thesis gets published or stolen, what becomes of her live-streaming classmate, and what will happen with Lu Chao at Old Gao's party? Pros: Sane FL FL comes across as a bit Asberger's, so her low EQ and high intelligence make sense. The ML has an agenda as he followed her from the start, but he isn't a sexual bully, nor is he the typical CEO/mobster. He doesn't have a bloody torture room in his basement and he hasn't hurt a fly as yet. The dad confronts his mean mother. The grandfather backs up the dad and declares that tormenting the FL is out. The grandmother's daughters and granddaughters are filth. The mom stands up for herself. The FL has her mom's back as she finds her feet. The WeChat group is hilarious. The evil cousin is going to end up going to a bad online college because she's an idiot and she wastes her time when she should be studying. Con: The wait for more chapters. All in all it's a good read.

I don't know. I stopped reading because I'm being transferred at work. No spare time. Google/search 'Novel Updates 'Forced to Date a Big Shot' spoilers. If spoilers exist, they'll be in Novel Updates spoilers forum.

"Stay with me and I will give you everything your heart desires. For you, my darling, I would part the mountains, split the sea, and cause havoc on Earth just to have you." - - - - - In every love story, there's always a vengeful and venomous fiancée who was engaged to the rich and handsome CEO that fell for the poor, but gentle and innocent female lead.

It took two harsh, but awakening years for Zhao Lifei to finally understand the mistakes she has made in the past. After her redemption, it was now Zhao Lifei's turn to experience a love grander than the female lead. Smarter, feistier, and wittier, Zhao Lifei knew how to survive the cruel, backstabbing, and harsh upper-class society was. "A cheating fiancé that broke my heart? Screw him, I'll find someone richer!" "All of my friends have abandoned me? Whatever, I'll find better ones!" "My parents disowned me? That's fine, my grandfather is wealthier and more powerful than both of them combined!" To the polar opposite of the snarky Zhao Lifei, was the incredibly wealthy and powerful, yet ruthlessly cold Yang Feng. Yang Feng, the King of the Business Empire, was a man to be feared. Heart of ice, eyes of stone, merciless but enticingly handsome, there was not a single person in this world that dared to offend him.

But then again, what is a love story without disturbance? They say love without conflict is just a simple crush and the story of Zhao Lifei and Yang Feng was anything but that. - - - - - Novel Status: Completed.

Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband

After Lin Xu died, she discovered that the world she was in was a novel. Her eldest son liked to imprison the female protagonist of the novel, engaging in sinister villainous acts with a dark room play. Her youngest son would unfailingly draw substitute's blood and snatch substitutes' kidneys for the female protagonist’s legal antagonist — his unrequited love. Her only daughter was the romantic fool forever revolving around the male protagonist of the novel. If children are not disciplined, the mother is to blame. After being reborn, Lin Xu felt she should step in and discipline her wayward children. However, before she could take action, her eldest son’s dark, handsome, and usually cold face blushed slightly as he asked in a low voice, “Can I touch my head?” The middle son snorted and turned his head, his tone petulant, “I... I don’t want to go home, but if you insist, I'll do it begrudgingly.” The youngest daughter rushed over, mercilessly pushing her brothers aside, “Mom, come and teach me how to solve this problem~” Latter, both sons fought over the bowl of noodles Lin Xu cooked. What was a novel’s female protagonist? Nothing compared to their mother. The daughter transformed herself, letting nothing from any novel’s male protagonist interfere with her studies! The family was blissfully happy. Latter, the revived, amnesiac husband suddenly appeared, cornering her against the wall, his eyes full of struggle, “Even if you're married, I still love you.” Lin Xu pretended to be serious, “Is that so, then what should we do?” He hugged her tightly, his voice muffled and pained, “Divorce him!” Lin Xu chuckled secretly, “I’ll divorce him right away.” Latter, after the husband regained his memory, he said through gritted teeth, “Over my dead body will we divorce!”
