WARNING ⚠ MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. BE WARNED. This is the first time that I've read a story with evenly matched ML and FL. I mean, although this type of story is very popular right now which led to this kind of plot to be cliché due to a lot of similar stories, I can still say that this one is not overly boring and cliché Just like what I said for example, the ML and FL are both OP and matched. Be it martial arts, finance, computer, medicine, looks, etc. None of them are inferior to each other. Unlike other FL and ML from other similar stories where either the FL is more OP than the ML or the two are complementary but not matched e.g. The FL is good at medicine, computers, finance while the ML is very wealthy, good at military matters, etc. Or worse, sometimes there are couples where I feel like there's a sense of imbalance because the other is OP while the other, being not bad, looks inferior and plain because his/her other half is way too good. Anyway, that's one of the things I liked about this story— the evenly matched FL and ML. Next, I'm already prepared to be tortured by the white lotus cousin (the always present white lotus in c-novels) but it turns out that while she's annoying, she's not very significant. The FL doesn't care about her and the white lotus, tbh, is a little pitiful. I still can pity her a little, little bit because aside from some petty tricks, I can't remember her plotting extremely inhumane. In fact she, who grew up in a patriarchal family with a mother who uses her as a tool to compete with her rival's daughter and a father who never cared about her, is actually understandable. It'll be questionable if she's still genuinely kind with that kind of environment and treatment. But it doesn't mean I like her very much though. Moving on, regarding with Sheng Yang's brother, I also like them a lot as well as her "harem" lol. I really wished they have more exposure. Btw, regarding about Feng Yan, I don't know. I can't really categorized him as the 2nd ML. As I said, his exposure isn't that much and neither their first meeting was mentioned so I can't find the sparks with them so I'm not very sad for him. Also, I just want to mention the school/classroom atmosphere in this story. As typical as ever, the FL will be rejected and despised by the adviser of the first section and she'll go to the last section which also happened here but the section there isn't actually that bad, just slightly inferior to the first section. However, if we're going to the typical path, there should be some revolutionary friendship between the FL and the rest of her class but it didn't happen. In her university, she should be regarded as a goddess by her schoolmates and although it happened, it's kinda hypocritical because they never liked Sheng Yang sincerely. My point is, I don't like the relationship between Sheng Yang and her schoolmates but maybe it's also because Sheng Yang us like a fleeting butterfly who's not really good at socializing and isn't bothered with it as well. Hmmm. Some FL just look cold but she's really, really cold. Now, let's talk about what I'm dissatisfied with. First, I feel like the ending is lacking— and no, I'm not saying it's rushed. It's just that there's still unexplained things like who are the other 2 of the 4 Gods? What happened to Sheng Yue? Did Kang Lixing and Zhao Caihua reconciled? What exactly happened to Jin Lu? How many identities does Sheng Yang and Yi Juncheng have? What's up with the system when Sheng Yang was reborn? Why does Long Xian knew about the number 1-5 harem? Is he connected to the system or Sheng Yang's reincarnation? And such. I'm the type of reader who usually remember this things despite the good ending and I didn't even mentioned some of the supporting characters even if I'm also curious what happened to them since they don't affect the story that much but the rest that I've mentioned are what I'm really curious about. Lastly, the translation is very good and so is the story. But since there's some unanswered things, I'll give it a 9.5/10.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Even After My Death

Jiang Ning was the true heiress of the Huo Family, lost and living outside. After being brought back by her family, her birth parents didn't like her, her cold-faced brother despised her, and her twin brothers would tell her to get lost from the home at the drop of a hat. Waking up alone in the hospital, she was diagnosed by the doctor with a terminal illness, yet her own family was busy throwing a party for the fake heiress. Jiang Ning was furious! She kicked these so-called family members one by one, sending them all flying! If they didn't accept her, she didn't care for them either! ...... Jiang Ning participated in a rural countryside live stream variety show. Her haters caught wind and came to greet Jiang Ning's entire family in the barrage of messages. But what they found was: Day one: Shock! Jiang Ning catches a thief on the street! A golden retriever runs over to help her. Day two: Jiang Ning snatches a child back from human traffickers with her bare hands! A bird publicly defecates on the traffickers' heads! Day three: Jiang Ning fights a criminal in a life-and-death struggle! A goose mocks them at the scene. Thief: "I had already finished stealing, and she still caught me. It's absurd." Murderer on the run for sixteen years: "You might not believe it, but I just came to buy a bottle of water, and she came up to me with a big right hook." A nice countryside live stream somehow turned into a legal synergy. The online audience crazily tagged the official police accounts: "Let's be honest, isn't she an undercover agent you dispatched?" "Jiang Ning's side job is entering the entertainment industry, but her main role is catching criminals, right?" A certain big shot attached a wedding photo: "Wife, mine."

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
