English title: The top couple is a bit sweet
Set in the Chinese entertainment industry, it is a romance story between two actors.
The female lead is a straight forward and narcissistic tv actress and the male lead is a movie actor who appears cold and aloof outside but is passionate inside ( men sao). The story starts with their contract marriage coming to an end and then participating in a couples reality show.
It's a lighthearted, slow burn romance. The story has lots of flashbacks. It is cute and fluffy and has lots of CP fans.
The only drawback I felt was that the side characters although unique never get any focus. They only come to move on the romance of the main CP. Also at the end the author tried to rush all the loose ends in just one chapter.

3.5/5 read for this one. The writing style really put me off at the beginning, it didn't get better over time but at least when I am reading, the plot kinda overshadows the writing style abit. idk why the writing sounds like a literal dialogue irl, and because of this there was alot of tell and no show. I also sensed a hint of misogyny and patriarchy in the writing. Especially when it came to the conventional role of women in society and how the FMC's family were able to accept that cos they 'doted on her'. In the industry there was also a lot of red flags about this in the writing. There was also little foundation as in how or why the MMC started liking the FMC (apparently since their high school days) until the last 20% of the novel, and truth to be told, by that time, they were already in their lovey-dovey mode and no reader could care less at that point LOL. The MMC's best friend's plot line was also abit absurd, it was as if his only role in the novel was the childhood friend of the FMC and her not very formal ex-fiance. There was little mention of how his existence impacted any of the leads except for him being the main reason why the MMC never dared to like the FMC.

Other than that, the other plot point I couldn't quite understand was how the MMC chose to follow in her footsteps - becoming an actor, just so he could cross paths with her again and have the courage to like her. But the thing is, if he never bumped into her crying backstage during that one event, he would have never dared to make any advances, how was he expecting things to work out then? Or was he just content with being able to watch her from a distance? Besides that, I would say the plot was quite sweet. From the FMC catching feelings because of the MMC's ambiguous actions to the MMC not-very-subtly dropping hints of his intentions, to the both of them testing each other to see if they had feelings for each other so that they weren't alone and their love wouldn't be unrequited, to them finally breaking all boundaries and being together, protective and having each others' backs, it was quite sweet.

This novel doesn't have the conventional FMC, she is not afraid to speak out her opinions, not afraid to chase her dreams, and not afraid of loving another person. She is confident about her looks and is very open about them, she knows her place in the entertainment industry and would not go overboard with the resources she knows she doesn't deserve YET. She is willing to put in any effort that would push her to her goal. And omg, the way she is so possessive and protective with the MMC? SO CUTE.

The MMC had quite a tragic backstory, from being the shaoye to literally a nobody who have to rely on someone else just for education, his ego and confidence would have been bruised alot, so much so that he didn't have the courage to even properly look the FMC in the eye because of how brightly she shone and her status. And the part where he completely hid his feelings after her uncle came in her stead to reject him? Idk how badly his heart must have shattered, but I can see why he was kinda hesitant to bring up the past with the FMC because deep down he always blamed her for being so cruel with him (but she didnt even know OMGGG). During the 10 years, he has never once had a dating rumour, or even star in a romance production before, all because he knew it wouldn't turn out well unless the FMC was HER and because only she could activate that part of him. ALSO, in his very first movie when he was still an amateur, everything looked so real because in his head, he was imagining her to be the FMC, that's why the gazes he gave were so real and pure, so much so till that remained his no.1 character ten years into his career.

Did I mention how goated the FMC's brother is? The MMC used to tutor him as a child, possibly a way to be closer and see the FMC more. From the brother that only wanted to get rid of his sister, to a brother than is now independent to protect his sister, and constantly keeping tabs of her news on weibo so he could warn her if there's anything amiss, and how he calls the MMC as 阿硕哥？insanely wholesome.

The extended epilogue with their kids were hella cute, and how each child had both their surnames? Slay. But I think that the FMC was only able to get this much autonomy in their relationship because of how the MMC views her family as being 'higher' than his, and also because she has a very powerful family background with influential family members, if you put two people of the same social status, this might not have been the case. I also quite liked how the entertainment industry was portrayed in a very realistic manner here, from delving into the principles of actors and the meaning of their existence, whilst this novel might not have the best writing, it did somehow consolidify and set my goals in this department clearer, so cheers to that.

This was, oddly, a peaceful read. There's no dramatic face slapping, no irrational love rivals, no disproportionate retribution for a character's fault, no family drama despite what happened in the past. And the antagonists were never mentioned again once they were dealt with, the aftermath of their action merely a passing mention. It's like... The novel didn't consider them important enough to gloat in their punishment.

Instead, the novel was fully focused on the relationship between MC and ML. It was gratifying that once MC realised she fell for ML, she didn't suddenly turn into an awkward teenager. No questioning herself, no doubting herself, just a decision that she'd pursue him and went for him. In that regards, her characterisation was consistent.

It could be said that the ML was consistent as well, but the story is really about the MC's journey catching up to the ML's feeling so the ML didn't develop that much. More like... Rather than developing, with the ML it was more like peeling an onion.

The story felt mature in a way. There's no misunderstanding that dragged on for chapters, and the main characters resolved issues like adults. Unfortunately that also set the story with low tension. You know that nothing bad will happen, and you know that there's no risk to whatever the characters decide to do... I lost interest and only came back to it after a month. That, and I couldn't take the second hand embarrassment in some scenes that I just had to stop.

The only I was uncomfortable with was how invested the fans were in their idols' private life. Like, is this a normal thing in real life CN idol scene...? I don't know...

English title: The Top Couple is a bit sweet.

And indeed this 100 chapter story is not only a bit but has much sweet inside.

In the beginning we only know that two of them have marriage agreement to save their public image as top actor/actress.
But! Over the chapter, we read about their history.
Not only two of them. The fans of this CP also hilarious to read.
Ah this is trully precious romance story.

Loved reading this. The romance was really cute and there were lots of comedic moments. I laughed a lot while reading this. I also felt like my teeth were rotting with the amount of sugar and cute scenes. It was too cute. My standards for romance have shot up.
