Synopsis:
“Mr Liu Wei..” Liling paused as she took In a deep breath.
“I need one million yuan… ”
Liu Wei shifted his gaze to face her. His face bore a surprised expression.
‘What was she using that much money for?’
Liling who was anxious held the helm of her gown tightly. She swallowed hard and continued courageously.
“I don’t think I can pay back…, but I’ll give you something else” Her voice drained of all vigour. It was really hard to give herself away, so easily but she had no choice.
Taking in a deep breath, she lifted her eyes to face him.
“My body…”
Review(s)
MonsterUnderTheBed: This is a very enthralling book. It is about two separate, but intertwined, love stories. There is heart wrenching drama for both couples, but friendship and faith will win out in the end. It is a very good read.
sushmitamistry: The story’s great. I like the storyline it was simple but straight to the point to understand the lives of the main characters. I like the chapters. Hope to see many more. And I also think it can be turn into a drama.
Bitterly: This novel is really superb. I really love the beginning and I wish it continues like this. The author clearly develops her character in due course, not just jumping into the romance in full. I recommend this novel.
Kaukauna: This author, unlike other authors I’ve read their works, didn’t start with the ML and FL at first, she starts by explaining details view of the lives of both of them. This work, I’ll recommend to any new reader. Thumbs up Ziyanmei.
seveygemma: This is an amazing story!!! Each character has their own personality that you can feel throughout the book, its as if you become friends with them. I was heartbroken, happy, anxious, and felt everything with them. The author did an incredible job letting us live the story with all of the characters. Please give this book a read it is worth it.
Josephine_Sanosa: The story revolving between friendship and lovers are typical but what is extraordinary about it is that they are so closely knitted that they are ready to support each other at all times and ready to face consequences..
Their love story is a typical cinderella type. It is interesting to follow the development. The start from one way feeling to reciprocated is a very romantic one.. love it.
Crystel_pearl: I like the way the story building up and the progress of the relationship and charter interlinked, not dragging and subtle way stabilizing that brought the readers into the dimension of illusion you are on it .. nicely done hopefully it will sustain till the end ..keep it up ..
shipramani: This is new story that I’m currently started to get follow up of. It seems a good start. But still I think it’s same old track damsel in distress and prince charming coming to rescue with uncertain idiot jealous characters popping out of nowhere with same old tricks. So I hope author will give more sensible twists and turns to this story for positively good outcome. But I’m still gonna give it a shot bcoz I really like the idea how the main characters meet each other first time by the unique way.
jmaine66669: This is so we’ll written. The story development is great and I love how it goes between the characters two worlds and shows other people’s perspectives. I love how the characters are predictable in some ways and completely unpredictable in others. Over all this is amazing and I would love to just sit and read it till the end without stopping.
knartharshar: This author, unlike other authors I’ve read their works, didn’t start with the ML and FL at first, she starts by explaining details view of the lives of both of them. This work, I’ll recommend to any new reader. Thumbs up Ziyanmei.
Bitterly: This novel is really superb. I really love the beginning and I wish it continues like this. The author clearly develops her character in due course, not just jumping into the romance in full. I recommend this novel.
ZRF: Have not completely read it. Still in ch 37. Characters are nice. Male characters is usually the same as what I read in most novels unfortunately. I have that plot stays unique and does not slip into the repeatitive story plots that I have read in many stories. Right now I can predict what going to happen in every novel I read. Looking forward to keep reading it.
Catwoman169: I started reading this story because I liked the synopsis. It is an easy read as it flies along, and the characters develop at a natural rate.
The FL didn’t win all over the ML, and these are the sort of storylines I prefer.
I like how the author is very good at telling a story. The side storyline is good too with a best friend as 2nd Female.
I would certainly recommend this story.
Farida_HM: I found this novel because I read the new novel that the author write. As I wait for the new chapter, I found myself drawn in this novel.
I love this novel so much, I can’t stop reading it, though at first the story seems like focusing on the second lead. But as I continue read the novel, it become more interesting. I cried several times while reading the chapters, the author have a good writing skills in bringing out the emotion.
This is a Strongly recommended novel to read!!
Pacesetter: When two people are destined to be together, nature has a way of making them cross the wide gap and hitting them when it’s least expected! The male lead is very wealthy and isn’t sociable, and the female lead comes from a poor background with family hardships and sacrificed two years of her life to save her father! They where intertwined together by the threads of love, but needs to let the other know about their love.
Sten During: This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter eight.
Eight chapters means the story hasn’t even left the beginning. We’re still busy getting to know the characters and the setting. The story as such hasn’t taken off at all.
Think of this when it’s time for the stars.
It feels a little like a girl from the people meets her prince, in this case a member of the economic elite, -type of story. It’s also way, way too early to say.
I believe we’ve been introduced to the female and male lead plus another half a dozen supporting cast including a possible antagonist. That’s all you can cram into eight chapters.
Stars.
Writing: Four stars. In fact the reading is pleasant, but wavering between present and past tense plus undisciplined handling of the third person limited point of view detracts.
Updates. Eight chapters. Too few for an assessment. I’ll hand out the five stars.
Story: Four stars. One star yanked not because anything is wrong. The author basically had to pick one or two out of three; plot, character and setting. Plot turned out not to be the focal point of the start. I respect that and expect to see plot growing in importance later on.
Character: Four stars. While characters have been given a little more work they’re still kind of place holders we’re supposed to recognise while the story settles in. One star yanked due to no error of the author’s. I believe we’ll have a fifth star here within another half a dozen chapters.
World: Five stars. As I wrote earlier, I believe the author had to make a pick. The setting is splendidly painted in simple sentences that frame scenes with a place we can experience as a reader. After eight chatper the stage is basically literally set. If possible, as characters grow more important and the plot tags along with the characters, I can see the setting taking a back seat until it drops to a four star setting.
Lastly, this is the beginning of the beginning. That makes it extremely difficult to review. I simply have no idea where this is going. Had I been given another eight chapters I believe either story or character would have gained an extra star.
