Jiang Xiao is about to graduate from college, but unexpectedly becomes pregnant with Zhou Xiulin’s child…

This was her wish when she was 18 years old!

When the wish becomes reality, all she wants to do is pretend to be dead…

Zhou Xiulin looks at the medical report on the table and raises his head after a long while. “Jiang Xiao, what do you think?”

Jiang Xiao stares at him, her eyes misty.

Zhou Xiulin rubs his eyes and says slowly, “Shall we get married then?”

Jiang Xiao frowns, “But you don’t like me, why do we have to get married?”

Zhou Xiulin looks at her and says, “Don’t you want the child?”

Jiang Xiao lowers her head and doesn’t answer the question.

One day, Zhou Xiulin, in a drunken state, blurts out, “Will I sleep with you if I have no feelings for you?”

Hi. I'm the translator of this novel.

It's about 2 people who had secretly fallen for each other, and an incident led them to sleep with each other and got pregnant by accident.

The novel is a bit like Hidden Marriage because they were married for years without other people knowing they were already a family of three. Although this also involved the entertainment scene, the FL was not an actress, she's a celebrity broker but the ML owned an entertainment company. It's a story of how the FL succeeded in becoming... more>> a gold broker on her own, with a little support from her husband behind the scene, without revealing their relationship.

What I love about this story is that the story-telling is coherent. There's not a lot of unnecessary scenes. The FL has some emotional baggages, but she never dwells on them, they always manage to work it out without being too complicated. There are no misunderstandings. The romance is realistic, esp some steamy scenes at the end of the bed.

This author also likes connecting her works in a series. So in this series, there was another book about their friends where we would also get a glimpsed of our couple in high school where their story began. <<less

Not a bad story. I would say the initial chapters felt a bit bland and boring for me, perhaps the author was still trying to find her style at the beginning or I just wasn’t used to it. I powered through due to the high ratings and I’m glad I did. It got better after that.

This story has a slice-of-life feel that focuses on the FL’s career. I wouldn’t say any major drama occurs but there are several plotlines that are crucial throughout the novel. The romance part was nice... more>> after they got over the hurdle and secrecy/misunderstandings in the beginning and was very sweet.

Basically they had a one night stand and got together due to the pregnancy and managed to fall deeper in love with each other due to that. If it weren’t for the pregnancy, FL’s low self esteem and stubborness might not have allowed herself to fall for the ML nor would the ML have tried so hard to persuade her.

Reason why I didn’t like the beginning is due to that. FL and ML seemingly forced into the marriage when its clear to us readers that they both liked each other. Felt that it could’ve been resolved if they had talked to each other. I think the story became much better to read after the time skip when their feelings were stronger for one another. Problem is due to the time skip, we don’t really see the progression of the romance. It went wham upward trend very quickly.

Still a good read. <<less

FL is an agent of entertainment company and had one night stand with ML (whom is loves for a long time and is company owner). (ML had promised fl's father to take care of her, which is revealed later).

FL 's parents were separated. Her father was a painter and travels around (meets ml). Her mother married a rich fellow and had a brother and sister. Initially FL was told her mother was dead. She grew up herself in hostel and has aunt and her family abroad, who is her relative mentioned in hovel. FL understands that her mother is alive and goes to entertainment industry to get close to her (doesn't goes for acting as her father forbid her from it). She works in ml' s company.

ML and FL had one night stand and ends up getting pregnant. They get married. They hide their marriage till the end (and none suspected it). FL takes a break (ML tells everyone she went to foreign for further knowledge) and gives birth to child.

When their child reach at kindergarten they reveal their identity and get married.

Side story is :

    • ML mother does not wish to reveal that FL is her child for her fear to media. But FL is not too sad for ML support her and she has her own family now.
    • Story of one of celebrity FL is taken care of as agent
      her half brother
    • Story of ML and FL son
      FL friend's daughter

It was a sweet and lovely read.

The ML was secretly in love with the FL but she only learns about it later on.

Her family background was a mess, even her dad was away most of the time trying to get over the grief of losing his wife who chose to be on the limelight and hid away her past. She recovers upon learning more about the history between her parents and she got over it.

It's a good novel about character development and trying to overcome the past to build something... more>> for herself and her own family.

The ML and FL are so lovely together. I wish I have my own love story like this. 😆 Read this if you're looking to pass time with a heartwarming story.

Kudos to Second Life Translations for the quality work on this~ <<less

If you are still deliberating on if you should read this novel, then definitely go for it and thank me later.

Usually, I don't like reading child care tagged novels cause I sometimes feel like there is not much romance in it, but this one proved me wrong. There is enough childcare and there is enough romance to go round.

The begining may be a little bland to some but it gets better quickly, so don't let that stop you from reading thos gem.

Although at the start I feel the development a bit weird but it's still worth reading, especially Zhou Simu, the little bun is so sweet and cute it melt your heart. Also shout out to translator sama for doing a great job translating this novel until the end (although there's minor mistake here and there but it's great), thank you Sansukini-san🙏👍

I loved this story. It was slice of life romance story. The plot was light and simple, not much conflict and no villain. Even though there were some bad characters, but they weren't too evil either.

I liked the relationship between FL and ML. They communicated well and never had unnecessary misunderstanding. FL was independent and emotionally strong. She was a talented entertainment company agent. She liked ML from the beginning, but she didn't try to involve ML to her life. Fortunately FL didn't act like a naive girl who head... more>> over heels in love with one guy. They got involved with each other because had a one night stand and she got pregnant (and I didn't think it was entirely her fault). ML also liked her from beginning though. That one night stand was actually because the result of his little plan. But he also respected her opinions after knew about her pregnancy. ML was very sweet and caring to FL. Sometimes he liked to teased FL and clingy to her. He really loved his family. Their son was also adorable. He was cute and funny.

Another thing that I liked was the realistic relationship between FL and ML's family. I thought it was realistic for FL and ML's mother had an awkward interaction at first. Actually, many daughters-in-law's relationships with in-laws were like that. Her in law didn't acted too close or familiar with her. She came so suddenly in front of them and ML announced them that they were getting married and she was pregnant. Of course his parents would be shock and worried of her. However they didn't act mean or try to interfere in their son's household. They still respected FL and grew closer to her as time goes by. Even ML's spoiled sister was just annoying at first (and she didn't know that FL was pregnant). Even though she didn't like FL, she didn't tried to separate her brother from FL. She also loved her nephew.

It was a good read. Totally recommended! <<less

It's a good read, well translated with few i, you, he, she, mistakes, which can be overlooked. Story is nice, no intense drama. I really like the ML he is a big shot but unlike other ceos ML in other novel he is not a character less person. I never get the thing why all the wealthy ML have hell lot of girlfriends and lead a reckless life. But anyway, this ML is not like this. He loves his family and stays true to his character.

FL is emotionally strong.... more>> She is independent, talented, very likable character. My most favorite character is their son he is so adorable. He often spill the beans about his parents (intimate moments) which leads to hilarious sequences. He is also very intelligent he perfectly coordinates with his parents to keep their marriage a secret. The worst character would be I think the mother of FL. She is selfish, hypocrite, heartless. I also didn't like her daughter despite knowing the ML have a son she keeps on pestering him and despite many warnings she lives in her own lala land and refuses to believe. Second ML is also not bad. He is honest and he doesn't have any grey shades in his character. When he comes to know about their marriage he willingly backs out.

Overall the story is full of fluffy sequences. It's a light hearted comedy without any face slapping or revenge. <<less

Wahhhh!!! Can't have enough of this novel! So love FL, ML and their little bean sprout 🫶

The story started a little gloomily but it was just for a few chapters. The rest are just so much filled with fluff and cute family interactions. There are little dramas with the side characters along the way but the couple never had unnecessary misunderstandings which I love. Most of all, Zhou Simu is just so adorable!!!

Thank you so much author-san and translator-san for this gem 😘

Highly recommended to all my fellow readers!

I persisted to 38, thinking that the story would get better but no, it’s been going downhill. I had initially thought this story would be a nice a fluffy read, and while the two leads are likeable enough, the side characters ruin it for me.
Spoiler

There is no prominent likeable side character, all of them have issues. The MIL is biased towards the ml’s sister, and at times there is some MIL and DIL conflict. The ml’s sister is a spoiled brat too. I don’t know if the author wanted to use Mo Yiheng and Zhao Xinran as a plot point, but mentions of them seem to add little to no substance to the story. Liang Yue also seems shady, and of course, biased towards her own daughter, who has a crush on the ML, making her hostile towards FL. Would not finish.

Almost everybody is surnamed Jiang. It seems like the author ran out of ideas for names 😂 that and the fact the the first few chapters are a bit bland does not really endear this one to me.

The very first few chapters felt a bit hard to read because I thought it would be a long push and pull relationship full of misunderstandings until near the end but fortunately, it wasn't and things really got better when they decided to get married. After that, it would be endless sweet moments between MC, ML, and their little bun. There were some dramas throughout the story but it wasn't that angsty and didn't affect MC and ML's relationship. Just prepare to be fed by dog food until the end.

It’s a 3.5

Light simple short novel. Romance is the focus of the story but the romance is a bit lacklustre. However loved the FL and ML.
