Gu Man, born in 1981, is a renowned internet novelist in China who also works as a writer for Jinjiang Literature City. Her published works include: "Silent Separation", "Just One Smile is Alluring", "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" and "Blazing Sunlight". Some of her popular works have been adapted into drama series and films. Although her books are well-liked by many, she is rather slow in her writing, with only several books published and a few incomplete works. Hence, her nickname is ‘turtle’. (来源:百度百科) (source: baidu)'
When will Book 2 be out? I know Gu Man is a slow writer but hopefully we won't wait for another 10 years before it comes out. However, people keep on hinting that Xi Guang may end up with Zhuang Xu in that one. As someone who is 100% on Lin Yu Sen's camp, Gu Man will break my heart if that happens. If that will be the case, then I will be treating the end of Book 1 as THE ending coz atleast Xi Guang and Lin Yu Sen are together.
Amazing book! I love Gu Man's writing style. Simple but very sweet and touching. The themes surrounding the characters are also a lot more complicated than previous books but it's a decent look into adult life and second chances at love. Overall, love loved this book and am still waiting for the next book.
Gu Man, hon, I need book 2 like from yesterday. (Although based on rumours, I'm not really sure I want to chance the happy flowing feelings bk 1 left me with.)
But, alas! Get moving, woman, you can do it! Add oil!
It was a very good entertaining book. It was focused and yet unfocused too. Pacing was good. MLF was wronged yet she didn't used her social power to deal with people. It was refreshing.
this is an interesting story. NXG comes from a broken family with a mother who divorced her father due to 3rd party. When she was in university, she had a crush on ZX . She confessed but back off when she heard that RR and ZX is in a relationship. However, ZX kept giving her mixed signal.
After graduating, she went to work in a company which belongs to her father and met with LYS who happens to be her superior and seems to be out to get her. But somehow, they start to develope feeling with each other.
what i like about this book is that there are more proactive action between NXG and LYS. At least it is known why they like each other. I like NXG character too as she is naive but strong too.
however, the ending of this book leaves a trail of unanswered question. Why ZX hated her so much and what makes him misunderstood her? i hope he will not end up with RR but alsohope that he will not come between LYS and NGX.
praying hard that the author will strt writing book 2 soon.
A pretty interesting (and funny) story about a young Chinese woman's university and work life. In a world where grades and long work days are expected, how's a young lady supposed to find that final perfect pillar to lean on - a boyfriend?
I've read a few of Gu Man's novels before and she is very good at showing contemporary life in China. Yes, probably a bit polished and edited but still so relatable. I especially liked how modern technology (cell phones, email) and Chinese online life was explained.
Lightweight, funny and quite interesting. Quite a nice job on behalf of the translator as well.
This is book 1 of 2, but we have no updates as to when the second novel will come out, as it seems Gu Man has writer’s block about this story. But like her others, it is a sweet story, and does have a pretty satisfying ending so long as you ship the doctor over the banker. Since I’m on a roll, I’m going to check out her novel, “You’re My Glory”, while continuing to watch her other tv adaptations of her novels.
Truyện nhẹ nhàng, không có quá nhiều cao trào. Vẫn thấy Hy Quang nên cùng với Lâm Tự Sâm, một người vì cô mà đến. Không thích Trang Tự, đàn ông không dám nói lên tình cảm của mình, ích kỉ muốn giữ người con gái bên cạnh nhưng ko cho người ta một cái danh chính ngôn thuận.
Truyện dễ thương nhẹ nhàng. Tâm lý tình cảm nhân vật phát triển rất logic. Tác giả viết chắc tay nên đọc rất cuốn không như mấy truyện ngôn tình rẻ tiền :))) recommend nha.
Truyện kể về một bạn nữ Hi Quang hoạt bát nhanh nhẹn, lương thiện, thông minh. Bạn từng yêu một bạn nam thời đại học nhưng may quá cuối cùng không thành đôi vì tui thấy bạn nam kia hơi hèn. Yêu mà ko dám nhận.
Còn anh nam chính tới sau thì không có điểm nào để chê. Dũng cảm theo đuổi tình yêu. Không ai nên xin lỗi vì tình yêu của mình. Cho anh nam chính 10 điểm.
Điểm duy nhất cá nhân mình hơi thất vọng ở "Tôi như ánh dương rạng rỡ" là cách nam chính Lâm Tự Sâm xuất hiện có phần hơi... đại trà và "ngôn tình" hoá quá, trong khi mình mong chờ ở Cố Mạn một cái gì đó rất riêng và ấn tượng như trong "Bên nhau trọn đời" hay "Yêu em từ cái nhìn đầu tiên". Tuy nhiên mọi thứ còn lại vẫn rất tuyệt. Mối tình đơn phương của Hy Quang dành cho Trang Tự, sự chung thuỷ của Lâm Tự Sâm, ... thực sự rất cuốn hút.

I'm actually satisfied with the overall angst that Gu Man provides in the novel. Nothing new. It feels similar to her Silent Separation but I do really hope that the female lead will end up with her boss instead of her first love. It kinda confusing at first on how the plot goes, but not that difficult to grasp the story. Waiting for Book 2!

Tadinya iseng-iseng aja nyobain baca novel ini karena ada melon (rumor) kalau novelnya mau diadaptasi ke drama, dan begitu baca novelnya eh malah nggak mau berhenti bacanya karena ceritanya mengalir asik banget, alhasil marathon bacanya sampai jam 4 pagi wkwkwk
Kapan ada penerbit dari Indonesia yang mau menerjemahkan Karya-karyanya Gu Man lagi ya???
1 tác phẩm hay, nhẹ nhàng Tôi rất thích văn phong của Cố Mạn, tác phẩm này quyển tiếp theo mình chờ 6 năm rồi còn chưa ra.Cốt truyện không có nhiều cao trào, nhưng đi vào lòng người, nhẹ nhàng, tình cảm. 1 tác phẩm ngôn tình hay cho ai muốn đọc truyện nhẹ nhàng, trong sáng
Book is a bit bland compared to Gu Man's other novels - Sounded neither fluffy nor romantic! Gu Man's usual romantic tease between leads is very less in this book and not appealing enough!
