结婚对象他诡计多端
The rebellious, rich second-generation Chi Xueyan was forced to go on a blind date for the 11th time. He cut straight to the chase: I have a hot temper, I snore when I sleep, and I haven’t deleted my countless exes. If you can accept it, we will get the marriage certificate on the spot.
The handsome man named He Qiao sat opposite him and was silent for a moment with a strange expression. Then he nodded and said he was a book transmigrator. He knew that Chi Xueyan was the supporting male villain in this novel role and would become the future marriage partner of the protagonist Lu Siyi. He gradually lost himself in an increasingly paranoid unrequited love, did all sorts of bad things and eventually died.
He Qiao couldn’t bear to see Chi Xueyan, who was still active and healthy, end up like that. Therefore, he proposed to marry Chi Xueyan to avoid the plot. In any case, he was a workaholic straight man who only wanted to use the information from the novel to develop his career for the benefit of the public.
Chi Xueyan heard this and suddenly realized: Use advance as a retreat and use the typical schizophrenic symptoms to scare off blind dates. This person was an expert.
He decisively remembered this trick and waved his hand to pay the bill as his token of appreciation.
Soon, Chi Xueyan ran into a handsome man who completely matched his aesthetics. Moreover, he didn’t hesitate to take the initiative to ask for the other person’s name and contact information.
As a result, the handsome man replied with an indifferent expression, “I am Lu Siyi.”
Chi Xueyan: “……!!!”
This name was too familiar.
Two weeks later, under the gazes of his relatives and friends, Chi Xueyan affectionately exchanged rings and kisses with his 11th blind date and the mysterious book transmigrator, He Qiao.
Initially, He Qiao was very wary of Chi Xueyan, the scheming and vicious villain of the novel. After the two of them cooperated to pretend to love each other and tricked their families into allowing them to get married smoothly, he planned to focus on his career and not interfere with the other person.
However, Chi Xueyan finally settled down from the chaos and started seriously studying the novel’s plot. He would occasionally come to the company to find He Qiao.
Unlike the arrogant and willful boss’ wife that the employees imagined, Chi Xueyan mostly curled up on the sofa with a small blanket while quietly reflecting on his 2D life.
Occasionally, he would raise his head and ask, “Did Lu Siyi never like me at all?”
“…Yes.”
“He has no vision.” Chi Xueyan sneered and rolled over. “How did he become the male protagonist when you are obviously much better than him!”
He Qiao didn’t know why, but the investment plan in his hand suddenly became unsatisfactory.
What a scheming villain.
On the first anniversary of their agreed-upon wedding, He Qiao arranged the most romantic dinner and the brightest roses. He met Chi Xueyan’s blank eyes and finally asked the question he had been worrying about in his heart for a long time.
“You have a good temper and you sleep very quietly so…” He Qiao seemed casual. “Is it true that you haven’t deleted any of your exes?”
Chi Xueyan: “……”

3.3 ⭐
I was a little disappointed with this novel. I thought it would be another type of story, and I had expectations regarding the plot and the characters. So when halfway through the book things were not going how I thought it would...I kinda lost interest. And then I got in a major reading slump. It took me a week to try and finish this.
For me, it was frustrating to read. But maybe this is the novel someone else is looking for, so don't believe it's a bad book based on my opinion. It's just that I was not ready for such a slow paced story. I like slow burn, but if the couple is not moving forward I expect the plot to keep me entertained. And here, there was nothing going on.

I'm giving this 3 stars solely for that heartbreaking backstory. It was a brilliant idea to put those tear-jerking extra chapters at the end, because it completed the whole story in the best way possible. If you'd like to read something romantic, more mature with slow-burn type of story, this is it.

I didn't actually finish it yet, probably will by tonight but I had to get this down because I'm pretty frustrated with the novel and I don't think the last few chapters are going to change my mind. It's definitely not a novel for me, it's so longwinded and the title is a lie because barely any scheming or revenge happens. I got lost after a quarter way through the novel because the author would just go on and on about stuff I can't even remember. To be honest, maybe this novel would be a 5 star read for other people, because I can see how poetic and eloquent it tried to be but I was exhausted after a while. Yeah it was tagged as a slow romance and I can get behind that but the plot was basically nonexistent after a quarter way through and it was just vibes from there on out. I can't even bear trying to get into the author's other novel bc it's three times the length of this one and this one bored me to tears....

Underwhelming.
Slow burn romance with no plot. The little plot there is, is filled with holes.
Slow burn is good, no plot can be good. The not good part of this book comes with the characters... one is too carefree the other is too restrained. The author tries to frame this in a healthy way by having the carefree character call out the restrained one and try to make him loosen up, because he's always curving his need in favor of his lover, this could be good if it had worked. Which for me, it didn't.
He Qiao's character is too rigid and the biggest plothole in this story.
I've seen comments say this romance was healing because of the one year cycle the characters go through and the way the learn to love and support each other. Nice for them that could read this book like that, I couldn't.
Sweet love cannot replace plot (for me at least). I need the bare minimum of plot to enjoy what I read and this didn't have that.

Not what I expected but a very sweet story about love

Word vomit. It’s the side characters more than the leads. More than characters it’s the author who is speaking more. Just eating breakfast is one chapter. Super frustrating.

Nhìn chung thì là một bộ êm đềm, lâu lâu dọc một chút thì khá oke chứ khó đọc một lèo
