Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Six months ago, Cheng Liu got herself a boyfriend. Unfortunately, her work kept her incredibly busy, constantly on the move. Aside from sending money, she had no time for him, leading to complaints about their fading relationship.

Cheng Liu: Was our relationship ever that strong to begin with?

Nevertheless, to nurture this relationship (and maintain her “not single” status), Cheng Liu decided to return early, subtly hinting at her return date in a WeChat message, assuming he would understand.

On the day of her arrival, Cheng Liu scanned the crowd at the airport exit and spotted a tall, handsome figure.

That’s him, she thought. Definitely my boyfriend. He looks even better than I remember, practically glowing.

Cheng Liu approached him and, taking the lily-of-the-valley from his hand, said, “Let’s go.”

A few days later, while shopping with her “boyfriend,” Cheng Liu ran into a couple. The man, looking panicked, quickly let go of the woman’s hand and accused Cheng Liu, “So, this is why you disappeared for six months! You cheated on me!”

Cheng Liu, completely bewildered: “???”

It’s a very fun little read and the MC is very entertaining. It’s a kind of reverse gender roles situation with our fMC being the “overbearing” ceo. The beginning premise is really funny as well! The translator VerseVoyage did a great job!

It's so fluffy... I liked it... But if I think rationally it's not possible to misunderstand for 5 days... But after the misunderstanding is over its kinda very cute... There is no villian, no unwanted dramas, no twists and that's the beauty of the story.

Series translator here!

This story is pure rom-com—the hilarious, mistaken identity kind. And with amazing, flipped gender stereotypes to boot! Reading this, I could clearly see it play out, scene by scene, as a live action k/c-drama comedy series.

The main premise is simple enough. The FL—a genius, workaholic, domineering CEO with a bit of an eyesight problem—went to a dinner banquet and fell in love at first sight with a man she saw standing by the prow of the ship. Before the banquet ended, she went up to the rather opportunistic... more>> guy and convinced him to date her. Six months later, they've barely seen each other, she can't remember his name or his face, and she feels like 'dating is so meh?' She decided to give it one more chance and asked her boyfriend to pick her up at the airport. In a series of hilarious events, she somehow picks up the ML instead—an Ice Beauty, as pristine and beautiful as the flowers he works with but much, much colder.

The author takes this idea and just runs madly with it. The two undergo hilarious mental gymnastics to justify why one thought the other was her boyfriend, and the other thought the other was his.... bodyguard (ᅌᴗᅌ✿) They get along like this for several days until, of course, the misunderstanding is cleared up and the Real Chase begins.

The FL's internal monologues are one of the best parts for me. She has zero love experience and her taste in gifts is questionable, but she's determined to apply her formidable business acumen into wooing the Ice Beauty—market research on how to please your boyfriend, anyone?

The next best thing would be the supporting characters. As a tech whiz kid and big boss CEO, our FL's usual circle is composed of financially successful, middle aged men 20 years her senior. Bless their gossipy souls, they become her main source of inapplicable courting tips and more hilarity ensues.

I think some people get upset feeling that the FL is superficial, that she only likes the ML because of his face—but that's the whole premise of the story. It's a comedy about mistaken identity. It's just the way the story is set up, and the FL really commits to her role as 'girlfriend', and eventually, pursuer. She's not a s*umbag CEO looking for pretty faces to bed left and right—she's a workaholic who barely even left the office before she embarked on this merry chase. The FL just fell and fell hard—for the 'wrong' man (´∀｀) <<less

"Emotions have nothing to do with the length of time."

I never thought that I would like this so much. Specially that the main story is 101 chapters, gosh. Even Wang Hongyang became a likeable character.

Our FL is smart, confident, and the girl boss who knows exactly what she wants. She was like, "Chaozou is mine. Don't even think about it", to the b*tch. And when ML's father said that ML is also possessive just like his mother but FL said, "It's fine coz my possessiveness of him is just as... more>> much". Yeah, it was actually portrayed perfectly during their intimate moments.

Our ML. He's cold and indifferent. Seems nonchalant to everything but he's actually cunning. Whenever the general assistant tried to do some scheming, he was like "don't play smart with me. While you're playing checkers, I'm already playing chess."

Spoiler

1st when FL was drunk. He Bai brought her porridge and posted on Moments but modified so only ML can see it. So ML said to FL, "I want porridge for dinner and have it home cooked". So they ate at FL's villa, the plating and table was arranged as how He Bai did that morning. Then our FL, of course, have to take a picture and flaunt it in Moments. 😅


2nd. Was when He Bai posted 9 photos consisting of him being with the FL for 9 nine years, since univ days to present. To reiterate that ML is the outsider. But then, ML posted a photo but modified so only FL can't see it. That was him taking a selfie in FL's bedroom, saying good morning. 😂
[collapse]

What I like the most are the sexy scenes 🤤. Our FL, a top student, of course have to gather adult materials. So be it european, american, south korean or japanese, she have it all. Even a summary report at the end was present. She was like, I'm already a master of theory amd was only lacking actual experience.

So, she ordered 35 boxes of family planning supplies and have it delivered to ML's villa. 1 was put on the sofa, in the mirror cabinet, corner of the bathroom, of the stairs and even in the kitchen. All was discovered by the ML, and he was like, "Is she gonna suck me dry?".

Spoiler

1st. Was when FL was so thirsty and ate cubed ice. She melted the ice with her hands and dropped it on ML's collarbone and drunk it.

It's a pretty decent slow burn romance novel. The gender roles are kinda flipped in this one when you compare it to other novels in the genre that would have an "overbearing CEO ML" and a "delicate MC/FL."

The Pros:

  • FL that has ambition. If she wants it, she'll work to get it; she is fully devoted to her growth/work but knows when to divide private life and business.
  • Perfume. With this being slow burn romance, I admired how the author incorporated scent (ML's job) to be sensual yet not cross any boundaries. The factor of smell is definitely underrated and well done in this novel.
  • Some supporting characters are quite fun and some of those comedic lines had me guffawing (thinking of the Great Wall of China joke regarding the MC jumping the wall between the two houses).
The Cons

  • The building upon their family backgrounds is a bit strange.
    Spoiler

    For the MC, that tidbit about her brother being in S city and the suggested tension in her family ended up being redundant.
    Regarding the ML's family, it's vague as to what happened to his mother and why the ML also harms himself, as well as his PTSD to heights. My conjecture is his mom, from the building emotions of feeling avoided by ML's father, decided to jump but lived. It isn't explained exactly why ML harmed and starved himself, but it's probably depression from family matters.

    [collapse]
  • MC can be frustratingly blind due to being a bit nonsensical/having a lack of awareness.
My true rating is 3.5/5, but I rounded up for enjoyment factor. Wish there was maybe a bit more angst or drama since it was almost too smooth sailing.

Female lead is a bit too persistent and doesnt know the word "boundaries ". She keeps pushing him off his limits and making him uncomfortable. She's insensitive and decides stuff on her own.

Dropped it. I would recommend it to others tho cuz they might like this set up.

This is a must read book!!!

First of all, this is a light hearted read where there are no angst. And the romance is slow burn. It takes time for the couple to get together, but after they are together, the romance scenes were out of expectations. Hmm...

The female lead has a very outgoing personality and she is very smart and somewhat cunning as well, when it comes to her business. As for her men chasing skills, which is one of the main points of the novel, they are hard to... more>> say no. She is very proactive when it comes to her love life. Infront of the male lead she is shameless and wild.

Moving on to the the male lead, in the beginning of the novel, he is cold and aloof, appearing to be untouchable. He tries to keep the female lead away from him. But later when he fell in love, he gets jealous and it is then where his sly personality comes out, to fight his love rivals.

All in all this is a good novel, you can read with a smile until the end. <<less

I love the FL chases the ML type of stories. So I liked this one as well. Like many other reviewers said, this is a role-reversal of stereotypical ML / FL. ML is reserved even in bedroom matters, FL is the one that's always taking initiative and ML gives off this typical shojo FL angst, like what-if she leaves me for another. The co-incidences are the usual rom-com like.

I MTL'ed the chapters that are not translated yet and honestly it felt like am reading a BL 😂 and the third-person... more>> gender confusion that is typical with MTL didn't help one little bit.

Anyway, give it a try its a good comical relief. <<less

It has been quite fun to read so far. Both FL and ML interpret their interactions with each other so differently and funny misunderstandings keep pilling up. I can't decide which one of the two is more to blame, both are special in their own ways. Also, a bonus is that FL is rich and successful all on her own.

Whether it stays a good read is too early to tell, as long as it sticks to comedy and not devolve to face slapping drama as many chinese novels do, I... more>> think it will stay good. <<less

Role reversal on f*cking point.

Usually, in Asian web novels, the ML is the powerful one in the relationship, the pursuer and horndog and oftentimes manipulator. Meanwhile, the FL is the object of desire, so beautiful it's unreal, in need of protection and troubled and dainty and oftentimes resistant and yadda yadda yadda — well, not here.

Here, she is the OP pursuer, he is the one reluctantly (if that is the right word) being pursued. It's actually super refreshing. And it doesn't become unrealistic/overblown either — both of them make sense.... more>> Their thoughts, actions, feelings and worries do. Sure, Cheng Liu is so capable and... perfect, perhaps, that it's borderline surreal — you know, classic male lead except it's the girl now. Ji Chaozhou, on the other hand, is so singularly stunning that it tripped our classic straight work-brain CEO and caused a unique desire/feeling/attachment — feels very familiar, except it's the guy now, and that is just refreshing lmao.

That said, this isn't just a stale trope flipped into reverse. There's actual substance here, and I love how we gradually got to see more of our leads' characters, getting a clearer picture of them as the story unfolds. It starts out hilarious (and stays it for a while), pulls you in and takes you for a satisfying, entertaining ride. I binge read this in a day. I feel like the author did such a good job keeping up the tension and conflict and developments to look forward to, and rewarding us for the wait.

I really liked the romance. The FL and ML fit together so well, and the way they interacted was a joy to read. I found it particularly interesting how the duality/complexity of Cheng Liu was slowly revealed. She is, in a way, so utterly whipped... but she is also the spider spinning her web, and the one, in the end, holding Ji Chaozhou's heart in her hands. The way she acts is so silly and s*upid at times but so clever and perceptive at others that it could be an utter contradiction, but ultimately isn't. They feel believable, and their story is compelling. And they're just so gone on each other; I love it.

All in all, total recommend on the role reversal alone. And it even made it its own thing, which is a lovely second and third layer plus icing on the cake. <<less

It's a reversal of a typical ML FL roles, here the FL is the dominant one while ML is the recipient.

I love FL's professional character- bold, decisive, talented, manipulative with high IQ and EQ. But her character as the romantic partner is not to my preference. I don't personally like dominant FL and submissive ML type story. But again, the character setup for the FL makes total sense in her dominating the romance.

Lot of comedies. A fun read indeed.

A cute modern romance story about a smart and domineering female CEO called Cheng Liu, who shamelessly chases after an aloof perfumer called Ji Chaozhou.

The circumstance of their meeting is hilarious, which is why I picked up this story in the first place as it's featured in the novel description. Cheng Liu is a workaholic, so even though she fell in love at first sight with her boyfriend and small-time model Wang Hongyang on a cruise ship 6 months ago, they've only met in person a handful of times and... more>> not in the last 3 months due to her busy work schedule. Determined to give this relationship another chance, she sends him her flight information and hints that she wants to be picked up. That's all fine, except when she actually lands, she mistakes the actual ML, Ji Chaozhou, as her boyfriend since he has a slightly similar profile to her boyfriend, and doesn't even realize she has the wrong guy.

The premise is definitely something you'd only find in a romance novel or romcom drama. The hilarious thing is that neither the FL nor the ML realizes the situation until many days in, even though they're meeting everyday. After the truth is revealed, the FL decides to keep pursuing the ML anyways because of her strong attraction to his looks.

In anyone else, the FL's shameless pursuit of the ML would be annoying, but it was kinda cute here. While I wasn't a huge fan of the first couple chapters as the misunderstandings kept piling up when the FL and ML kept interacting with each other under the wrong idea of their relationship, I enjoyed the story a lot more after the ridiculous truth is revealed and the FL pursues the ML for real. It's a slow build up to a real relationship, as the ML is aloof and hesitant to open himself fully to another person for fear of getting hurt, but the process is sweet, and after they get together, it becomes sweeter.

Overall I thought this was a solid story. Worth a couple hours of your time to read! <<less
