Description:

Serious, workaholic man meets free-spirited girl.

Qiu Zheng Qing is an elite manager at a well-known corporation whose life plan does not include dating but simply getting married because it is time. While meeting a former university classmate who fits his criteria for a life partner, he keeps on coming across a free-spirited rich, young miss and subsequently falls in love with someone who will turn his life upside down.

Yin Ting (depressed): Whenever I pursue guys, I would always pinpoint the wrong target. That's why I keep on failing. The next time I must definitely choose the right one before making my move.

Qiu Zhen Qing (serious): Why is that you always fail, how do you say it when you are confessing, let me hear it. Be more serious, this is a solemn matter. Consider me your target, how would you make your confession, how would you say it?

Yin Ting (sighing): That is, I like you a lot, let's date.

Qiu Zheng Qing (serious): Okay.

Yin Ting (dumbstruck): Ah?

Qiu Zheng Qing (serious): I said, I agree.

Yin Ting (dumbstruck): ...

Thoughts:

Another cute story! Fluff here, fluff there, fluff everywhere!

I have encountered this multiple times but didn't give it a try since I don't really like reading serious male leads (I prefer golden retriever ML's but I am surrounded with cold hearted/stoic ones (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻), however after checking the reviews on novelupdates, I decided to give it a go. A decision I have not regretted.

What I appreciate about this novel is how it was usually in ML's POV. Because of that, you would witness how he thought that FL was silly then gradually appreciated her optimistic perspective in life.

And FL is not unlikable either! Yes, she is somewhat naive and a klutz, but she isn't dumb. She is very positive and her advice, though at times sounds nonsensical, are great at lifting a person up.

She matches perfectly with the serious ML.

I really like the fact that, because ML is a wizard (30+ dude who is a virgin lol), even his outlook in relationships sounds like a business deal. He is very cute!

One of my favorite scenes was when, because he missed FL, he accidentally wrote her name in a document. The result of his mistake was that all of his coworkers were informed of the incident. It was spread to the point he even got teased by his superior.

I wanted more! Extras about their marriage and children wru?

So yeah, please try it!

Oh warning! There are two translators who translated this, and one of them has a running commentary which was super annoying as it interrupts the flow of the story. That translator just keeps on nitpicking every detail in the novel. Like damn, do you hate the story or something?💀

I learned to ignore it, however despite that, I am still grateful for the translation.

So yeah! Read it.
