well ... this is a brilliant story and well written. it's funny and tender and passionate. it is also highly frustrating. it us probably the most "wordy" novel I have ever read. switching POV backwards and forwards from one character to the other, repeating each scene twice gets tiring, the amount of detail in the thought process of every tiny move (times two) and the stupidity of the major misunderstanding which is glossed over to focus on the mind games is seriously irritating. however I got to read the story for free so after the first 70 chaps or so I skimmed. dear author I highly commend your idea and writing ability - if you could find a way to make someone who pays for chapters feel a little less cheated I think you would have greater success. I will definitely look out for other works of yours though.

So, to get the criticism out of the way, I don't know that alternating between the ML and FL point's of view every other chapter was the best idea. I've been skipping the first few paragraphs of each chapter because a lot of rambling information is thrown at you that really interrupts the flow of the story. In some instances, there's such a huge tangent that it almost feels like the author wrote the introduction to a new book! An editor would be a huge help I think. But, the characters are definitely unique and well-written. The world they're in is a bit small, in order to keep the story centered around these two poor individuals who can't sleep and think about little else. It's definitely a bit of a slow-burn, I'm about 25% in, and neither character has shown any romantic interest in the other. I can't wait until Derek gets a reality check once he falls for Emily, living her simple life! Overall, a cute, lighthearted, easy read, without a lot of drama or misunderstandings (at least so far). Absolutely worth a look!

Great story, cute slow burn romance that I hope ends in them living happily ever after. The ML and FL are easy to like and are well developed characters. There is some chapter repeats but they are in the POV of a different character. Many chapters end leaving you wanting to read the next chapter. Ahhh the release times are torture!! But the author sometimes take pity on us and releases early. 💕 MCs balance each other well and work through issues well. Novel has a good balance between humor, seriousness, cute moments and OH No!! You can’t help but get invested in the development of the relationship. Keep up the great work Cai_Hong. Looking forward to reading to the end.

the story has potential but the story progress is so slow. when a story progresses this slowly, it makes you lose interest in reading it. Now I'm thinking of dropping this novel, cause it's a waste of money.

The story is talking too much time to form properly I’m tried of the endless cycle they are not moving forward at chapter 126.

the moment I started reading the first chapter, I knew the writing quality was great, but I could kind of feel the slow burn. I don't know how long it's gonna take for them to make a move, but I am here for it. the world background is not large, so it fits the cosy vibe that I love.

Hadn’t read a lot, but it’s good. I like the FL a lot and wish it would be clearer in the future. Will continue reading.

Whilst slow in places and some awful spelling and typo's this book was a slow burn and upon getting to the end, it was satisfying. I would have liked an update on Cassie and Jane and how they dealt with how things worked out. Did their lives change as dramatically as Derek and Emily's?

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

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.

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."
