When it came to her fate, Luo Bei was the rare one in a million fated to be wealthy and high-ranking.

Luo Bei didn’t believe it at first, until one day she unexpectedly discovered:

The pitiful person next door who suffered under his biological mother’s ab*se would become an overbearing CEO with power and influence.

The ill-fated pregnant lady downstairs was the cool CEO’s wife who ran away with his unborn child.

The sallow and emaciated youth living in the basement was a superstar film emperor.

Most importantly, the amnesiac guy working in construction who Grandma picked up was actually an overbearing CEO.

Lastly, she realized she herself seemed to be…

A gem of a story and should really be a hallmark for how we conduct ourselves in life.

I'm very often unsatisfied at the end of a novel finding it rushed or annoyed with obvious plot holes. Though I wanted more, it made sense to end where it did and how it did considering the MC's approach to the notion that life is continuous and story endings with "happily ever after" are unrealistic. It of course ends happily. I would love if the author did a spinoff on Fang Jinzhou's story... more>> as he's such a compelling character. I would love a spinoff of all the supporting cast!

Spoiler

Instead of a guarantee and cliche, there isn't a confirmation that MC ends up as a CEO like she does in the novel version of herself though likely. It's focused instead on wishing for the MC's daughter to be the happiest little girl in the world. It's so sweet in that it's more about a hope than set in stone

[collapse]

MC and ML exemplify the notion that life must be taken one step at a time but without waiting around for things to happen. Success isn't built in one day and that a stable attitude is paramount for progress. They teach that one should never treat themselves badly and that working hard brings satisfaction rather than exhaustion when using optimism.

Both their families are also just -chef's kiss- MC's grandma exemplifies that kindness is a power and sincerity towards others will result in long term benefits. ML's grandpa is the epitome of educating through tough love and the need for equality, fairness and decisiveness in business. ML's mom is the GOAT of women should treat themselves best before worrying about the unfair societal expectations on women.

Their attitudes are so inspiring and rational. No one wants to be unhappy, so why do things that would make oneself so? The conversations are insightful and a benchmark for how couples should interact. There's so much mutual respect and care for each other that transcends the disparity in their economic backgrounds.

Serious topics are discussed and any hypocrisy is pointed out. Adults behaving like adults is so wonderful.

Spoiler

Like in the case of Pianpian (the pregnant runaway CEO wife) I would've hated how the original story was supposed to be. The baby gets sick, PP goes to the dad, they have a whole abusive chasing process and reconciliation where PP's only title is just CEO's wife without her own identity. Instead, ML points out to that CEO his lack of sincerity where he planned to be engaged and still keep PP by his side but if the reverse were true the CEO wouldn't accept it. That an heir that relies on an alliance marriage is disdainful and proved a lack of abilities. ML calls out that CEO's disillusionment towards his mother's clear intention of recognizing the grandson but not the mother. Their ending is a bit open ended that after years as more of coparents, PP and that CEO eventually put down the past and started over but not that they definitely ended up together. I would love to know more in detail bc I'd so enjoy seeing that CEO's emotional turmoil and growth. PP grew a lot too and recognized that romantic love is not the epitome of one's life but self-love is.

Lil Fang's OG story is heartbreaking and the way MC rescued him is so realistic. The idealist in me would love that the MC and ML officially adopted him but that's not how life works. A child is a lot of responsibility and she doesn't have the proper means to completely care for him as he still has his grandparents and living mom. The mom is such s*um and I like that MC doesn't waste her time trying to save her from her OG ending of su*cide. She isn't a virg*n Mary just because she knows the OG plot. She gives kindness to those that in her perspective deserve it or have the capacity to change.

[collapse]

Although I wish there wasn't a 2nd ML, I was satisfied with how he was handled. I guess this was the only part that I didn't like, where the idea women and men can't just be friends was stated more than once. Though I think it was stated more to show 2nd ML's lack of awareness towards his feelings for MC. It would've been nicer to show that you can be a good friend to the opposite gender without feelings being developed. His emotional journey and reconciliation with his feelings is still great though.

Spoiler

He and ML are still good friends, he doesn't pine after MC and lives his own good life but simply hasn't met another woman that he likes yet. He respects the boundaries and wishes them well wholeheartedly. Even when he belatedly confirms his feelings, he doesn't disturb the couple. ML is also just great here too bc he respects the 2nd ML's character and recognizes the man's rare integrity. He doesn't prevent MC from hanging out with the two guys who had feelings for her bc he trusts everyone involved - MC, 2nd ML and childhood friend.

[collapse]

The story gives me hope and inspiration to live my own life better rather than focusing on all the obstacles towards success. It fuels me with a zest for starting small and making money to make myself happy. It emphasizes making money should not be for the sake of greed but for the satisfaction that there are results from hard work. I've been in a career funk and always constrained myself to the white collar life though it's not the most suitable for me. I have a personality more aligned with the MC and she's unlocked some dreams of mine I didn't dare to consider.

It's also clear and stated often that MC does not need a man to be happy. That ML and MC should have their own goals and aspirations. There's a line about how he grows his sugarcane field while she grows her watermelon field, and only then they can share the sweetness of each field with each other or have the qualifications to question the sweetness. It's a great analogy. Better stated in the novel.

It's simply about people doing their best to reach their goals while supporting each other without selfish or self-righteous interference. Everyone's life is their own and no one can dictate it for them. Everyone's form of happiness is different and each form is not lesser than another. Great lessons to be learned and ones I will take the heart. We should never rush and falter, but strive with an open-heart towards our own mountain peaks. <<less

A nice, easy read slice of life story. I wish the author expanded more on PianPian’s story. Aside from that it’s a good story. Highly recommended.

pretty good 4/5

Oh and its another one of those novels with the "pregnancy tag" where pregnancy doesn't actually occur until the last few chapters/epiloge and has nothing to do with the main story.

So marked for my "non-pregnancy" list that I plan to create in a while.

4.5

This is a really easy read... and it is a realistic love story between 2 logical adults. They are not very romantic, the story is like 50% about them, 50% about the other characters. Which I love.

Their relationship start really naturally. From a landlady- tenant, friend, business partners, and then into a couple. I like that from the start he wants someone with similar work ethique next to him. Someone who works just as hard as him, and not merely a pretty vase. They communicate, they trust each other. They... more>> do not randomly trust what strangers say, they do not get blindly jealous, they understood its normal for their partner to have admirers because thats what happened when you are godly looking!!

The other thing I love in this novel is, the trio did not fight for love. When the other one found out the main couple got together, he congratulates them right away. He did not try to fight for the girl, he accepted it almost immediately because he truly cares and appreciates his 2 friends. Authors should write this more often. This is how adults should react when their love is unrequited, they did not go insane, they did not moped forever. Real friendship last!

And the other characters, especially the little boy really made the story better. I love that he found a family with the main couple. I'm so happy that he is growing up well and loved. <<less

One the best romance novel that I've ever read.

MC and ML's love story was very mature and far from being dramatic. There was almost no misunderstanding because they both communicated very well. Their feelings also came very naturally; from being a simple neighbor, friend, business partner, and finally lovers. Aside from that, I also like how their love rivals weren't the brainless type (except maybe that Hui girl) and even hoped that they would find their own happiness someday.

Spoiler

Especially Jiang Sihan because he was genuinely a good guy. If there's no ML, I really hoped that he would end up together with MC but unfortunately, they weren't meant to be. I thought he would quitely disappear from MC's life after MC got together with ML but surprisingly, not only he became ML's best friend, he also became MC and ML's child's godfather.

[collapse]

The plot was actually quite simple and revolved much around how MC and ML built their own business. Since both MC and ML were rational and logical person, eventually there's not much lovey dovey moment between them. So, if you want to read something sweet and dramatic, perhaps this story wasn't for you. But if you didn't mind a mature love story with less drama then you would find this story very fulfilling. <<less

4.1 Very mature and inspiring but really lack of romance and sweet, still author choice to bring the story and resolved all problem was in adult principle of life, and that's may be a problem for someone who want to read mature romance but sweet and passionate, that's why I find it unsatisfying, good choice if u want to just read something that not had many up and down and just tranquil romance

This is one of those Chinese novels that don’t follow the usual “rules”. The characters are very realistic, in their desires, vices, love and choices. There is a great deal of chicken soup for the soul, but it never gets to the point that it’s boring or repetitive.

I finished this story wishing that someday I too could find someone who is a perfect partner not just for love but for life like Beibei.

Pros :

The MC works hard and just focuses in making money. MC doesn't meddle much in other people business but she knows when to step in. She's a nice person while still retaining her iq. We be waiting for this kind of queen.

The ML truly shines compared to the usual ML type. Boi has some humour and full of life. There's a childish side to him and it's entertaining reading this kind of ML.

The side characters have their own story and even the cannon fodders still have iq. ... more>>
Spoiler

female A met w/ MC and told MC to stay away from male A. MC told female A that it's up to male A to choose. Female A be like : oo yeah... that makes sense.

Male B likes MC, MC doesn't like him. Male B moves on. Finallyyyy someone who just moves on after they got rejected.

[collapse]

Cons :

The money making at the first half is kinda boring for me. The romance isn't that much but I still enjoy it. <<less
