Rumor

Description

Rumor has it that during their first meeting, Jiang Ruo was dressed in a cheap suit, standing in the hotel lobby asking people for an “overnight fee.” After receiving the cash, he counted it twice, and his head lifted to meet Xi Yufeng’s gaze.

Across the revolving staircase, one of them stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down with averted eyes, while the other, with a hand full of money, looked up.

One watched indifferently, his coldness clearly showing disdain; the other smiled provocatively, thinking that no matter how high the branch, it was unattainable.

Rumor has it that at their second meeting, they ended up in bed together.

The next morning, only Jiang Ruo was left. He held his sore waist and dialed a phone number, gritting his teeth, “How long have you been hungry, Young Master Xi?”

Xi Yufeng remained calm, only asking, “How much?”

Rumor has it that later, Xi Yufeng kept Jiang Ruo, but the two were always at odds. Jiang Ruo even dared to give Xi Yufeng a cold shoulder in front of a room full of people over a bottle of wine given away.

Xi Yufeng, of course, wouldn’t tolerate his pet being disobedient. According to someone passing by the restroom, there was quite a commotion inside. When Jiang Ruo came out, his eyes were brimming with tears, looking like he had just been disciplined.

Rumor has it that the young master of the Xi family has a match-made fiancée, so Jiang Ruo’s audacity won’t last long.

Another rumor says that the Xi family is in an uproar because Xi Yufeng refused to get married.

For a minor celebrity.

Beyond the rumors, Xi Yufeng frowned, looking displeased yet helpless, and asked Jiang Ruo, “Are you done causing trouble?”

“No.”

“What do you want now?”

Jiang Ruo smiled brightly, “I want the last rumor to come true… Can it?”

I started off thinking that it was a cute novel. It was not. It was quite melodramatic and often times I questioned myself for picking the novel. But I finished it and it was interesting.

The bad

Spoiler

The ML is a rapist. The MC decided to forgive him. It starts off as a sugar baby relationship and the ML never reveals that he had a marriage planned.

The MC had to learn that he had to be side piece and everyone around him were either suggesting breakup or continuing. I really hate Aunt Fang who suggested to continue and other side characters who acted like nothing was wrong.

The ML is quite manipulative and controlling in the beginning. When the MC broke up with the ML, the ML ended up verbally abusing, despite knowing the MC was in love with the ML.

The good

Spoiler

The MC, his character is really well fleshed out and he is the definition of persistence. The character arc of the MC was amazing from a pessimistic person, to a confused person in love who goes against his own morals and rationality, and finally him being truly in love.

I had to pause when he explained about his past. But it shows in his character as someone who is way mature than his age. I only completed the novel for him.

One more good thing about this novel was how it dealt with the cold ML trope and how the MC called out the ML called out for his staker behaviour. I saw the ML actually talk, instead of the novel glossing over his behaviour.

The redemption arc was done really nice. It was realistic. The ML didn't suddenly change his character and the MC didn't suddenly stopped feeling hurt when the ML came crawling back to him.

The novel also didn't have any showbiz nonsense like the weibo comments that is irrelevant to the plot, petty filer drama. It infact showed the cruelty of being in the showbiz more often than the glamour which is unique.

[collapse]

Overall, I would recommend this novel, if you are ready to read something bad to see character development, an ending that is worth it. Thanks for the translator for introducing me to this novel. <<less
