I just want to say that the summery describes the FL as a Xenophobic Girl and that's the wrong word to use. If anyone sees the word xenophobic they probably would be put off and not want to read this novel. The FL actually has agoraphobia or severe social anxiety.

A very enjoyable read. My praise kink has been satisfied. The smut in this book is on delicious. I feel blessed to have discovered this author because her writing style and storylines are exactly what I've been looking for.

If you like an ML who is:

• • Intensely devoted

• • Takes care of the FMC's needs without her asking

• • Obsessed

• • An absolute beast in bed

• • A little red-flaggy but 100% loyal (he will never even look at another woman)

then read this

I love this ML so much. If this were an omegaverse, he'd be a dominant alpha. He is that intense. I finished this in one sitting because I'm lowkey in love with this man. He gives off the vibe of someone stranded in the desert, desperate for water, and the FMC is the only thing keeping him alive. GAWD. I'm sorry for being a degenerate, but I found that freaking HOT. I'm biting my fist. I want someone to want me like this. And the way he just decided they were in an exclusive relationship

introducing her to his friends as his girlfriend when they hadn't even talked about it. LMAO. He's very straightforward, doesn't tolerate misunderstandings, and takes care of her like she's a precious treasure. He worries and panics if she doesn't answer her phone. Uggghhh

The only thing I wished for was a bit more personality from the FMC. She was so shy that it was hard to get a sense of her beyond that. But it was satisfying to see how the ML put in real effort to help her come out of her shell, even just a little. He was exactly what she needed in her life. Anyone else would've given up on her because of how closed-off she was

she literally wouldn't go outside unless absolutely necessary, got anxiety from talking to strangers, and would straight-up run away if someone approached her. LOL. I imagined the universe deciding it had enough and sending the ML her way before she died alone. What I really loved was how the author introduced both the ML and FMC's backstories. When they finally accepted their deep feelings for each other, we got to see their vulnerable sides. Both had traumatic pasts, and for the first time in her life, the FMC actually stood up to her family

to protect the ML from being taken advantage of by their greed. I love that for her. Protect your man, sis!

Overall, this was such a satisfying read. A straightforward romance with plenty of spice, no frustrating misunderstandings, and a love that felt truly genuine in the end.

Please don't take the r*pe tag lightly, as the first time the MC and ML had s*x, the consent was heavily dubious. I would say full on noncon. Personally, I didn't mind because it wasn't too extreme or dark, but if that's something you're sensitive to, do us a favor and skip this book.

It seems cliché but I like this kind of novel, after reading serious novels that drain my energy. I like handsome ML and timid FL stories. I hope the translator can translate this novel until the end of the story. Thanks you for translating this novel

Ah someone is finally translating this!! I read this in mtl before and this is my most favorite novel of this author. This was so sweet and heartwarming and smutty. And the ML is so manly I was drooling thru my screen 10/10 I highly recommend!!!

It is a very tender and calm novel, I like that since it is a mature genre, they do not spend it in action at every moment, ML adores FL and understands her and helps her get ahead, thanks to the translators. 5 stars

Ahhhh! I can't with this novel, too much fluff wahhhh 🫣

The ML and FL are just perfect for each other. I love how the story wasn't all just about their love and the smut. The complexity of their characters was carefully explained by the author so we readers can understand why they've become who they are.

I so love the ML of this story, so smooth in wooing our FL hahahaha.. And FL is just too cute and shy that the ML had to be pretty shameless at times for her... more>> 😆

As I've completed this novel, I felt excited, giddy and sad for the ML and FL but no worries as this a HE story. Hope many more readers can discover this gem too!!!

P.S. Thanks so much to author-san and translator-san for this wonderful story 🫶 <<less

Personally this is a 4 star for me but I added another one because I came to love the main characters and the fluff. Unlike other smut, the author put some effort into their backstories (especially Shen An poor guy I actually cried for him twice) tho for Bai Li I kinda felt her past is not explored as well as Shen An despite this story is mostly about how she slowly came out of her shell thanks to him.

Something I'd like to point out:

• I actually don't get why Shen An fell for Bai Li even until the end lol it kinda felt so sudden to me. Maybe I missed the clues or something like that? Probably that's the case just take it with a grain of salt
• Their encounters so far felt kinda one-sided (or to put it bluntly Shen An forced his feelings on her) because of how closed off Bai Li is. Sure as the story progressed, the author started to show her feelings about him but still some readers might be concerned about how they started off.

Yea in any case this is still a much better novel than its peers. The translator also did very well translating this so it's another plus

this was a good read if you bored.

ML is so persistent and so pushy omg but he's really head over heels towards FL. He care and protect ber so well. Although the H scene is too fast lol cus hes really a pushy straight forward and lowkey delulu (he keeps talking to FL like they are in relationship when theh havent yet. His childhood is sad too same with FL. But he's mentally strong and can stand up with himself.

FL is so timid like really really timid to the point... more>> that she always covering her whole face and body w baggy dark clothes, mask, hat even sunglasses when shes actually really pretty. Due of her childhood trauma tho. But I wish she can talk more or taking inisiative or else CUS SHES REALLY SO SHY aghhhh. It really feels like ML always forcing her but if he didnt do that. Their progress will always stuck fr.

smut is great. I can imagine how strong the ML is lmaoo. Their size different too omg I might d13 if I was her. Its funny when the time of their first night, FL got fked until fainted and he immediately checkin on her to see if shes still breathing or not nsnsnksndks

its lowkey slice of life and light romance. Plot is not too heavy for me. Gotta continue reading it later. <<less

Quite good and it has story too, its not only smut both the FL and ML have tragic pasts especially the ML

and for the people talking about the ML if the ML wasn't pushy then the FL wouldnt change and she would stayed alone with her trauma.

In the end though both love each and found happiness and comfort together.

... more>> i give it 4/5 stars.

ps the novels : Living Together / Soft Fragrance / Drifting Between Film and Reality, are from the same author and in my opinion are even better so if someone liked The Veterinarian should read them. <<less

I love this novel very much. The male lead is perfect for the extremely shy female lead. If the male lead is not super proactive then they can't never reach to the point of happily being married. I don't understand the rating system in this site. That's why I am writing in the reviews that I am giving it a a 5 star. Thanks for translating the novel.

props to the translator but this novel is the worst one i've read

it started nice but when the ML kept insisting and forcing FL to do things even though she said clearly said no or rejected it let me give you an example

... more>>

Spoiler

ML said he wanted to kiss her > FL shook her head as a no > ML said she doesn't have to be scared > proceeded to tongue kiss her until the FL called for her mom! That's so f*cking weird? It doesn't help that she has social anxiety

[collapse]

<<less

It's cute! I like the fact that FL didn't have a major transformation. She stayed in character and the story progressed with her like that.

It's full of fluff but yet it's so hot! The character of the Male lead is so manly, like what the bad boys portryal most girls would fall off! He's so hot that I feel so giddy that it makes me feel so good! This is the kind of smutty read that I want, it has a good plot and has scenes that's enough for me to blush.

A perfect read specially if you don't have someone special with you right now. It keeps you alive!

*Btw, I think the author is... more>> into hygiene because I keep noticing that there always hand washing scenes haha <<less
