I expected this book to be cringy and boring, but it turned out to be such a heartwarming and wholesome read🥹💖. I watched the drama adaptation first, which led me to pick up the book and honestly, it was the best decision ever. I haven’t felt this way about a book in a long time😣💞. Definitely a 5-star read for me🫶🏻.
This novel follows Shen Xifan, a dedicated workaholic hotel manager struggling with insomnia, and He Suye, a gentle Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor.
The story is refreshingly simple and almost no major conflicts at all. Two people meet by chance, slowly build a friendship, and eventually fall in love. It’s a healing kind of romance that unfolds through small, everyday moments.
I really enjoyed how it weaves in so much about herbs and TCM, explaining the names of different remedies and their functions in detail. It feels educational and authentic. However, sometimes those explanations come across as too textbook-like.The hotel management side also gets decent attention, giving a nice glimpse into that world without feeling forced.
Truyện này dịch sang tiếng Việt là: "Yêu em là điều tốt nhất anh đã làm" Không biết khi chuyển thể thành phim thì có thêm tình tiết không, chứ chỉ như truyện thì nhạt quá. Hình tượng nam chính kiểu "bạn trai nhà người ta" hoàn hảo quá, không có mấy điểm nhấn. Nữ chính thiết lập khá ok- nỗ lực, EQ cao, dứt khoát. Nhưng tình yêu của 2 người phát triển hơi thiếu cao trào và lãng mạn. Điều thú vị duy nhất của truyện là mỗi chương tương đương với một tên vị thuốc Đông y và phát triển tình tiết theo đó.
i have to admit i actually forgot i was reading this book HAHAHA i finished 75% before November but forgot i had not finished it.
very cute from start to finish. major green flag for all characters!!! male lead sounds like a dream come true and female lead is a real independent woman
also all the traditional chinese medicine terms got me googling things every sentence....
I give it a 4.5 pushing 4.7 I think it was a super sweet cute little novel although for those wanting to read it due to the drama the drama is only a loose adaptation of this book. Honestly I think the only thing that was the same were the names and her insomnia haha. I think my one complaint is they didn’t even get together until like the book was 3/4 over and I wish we got more moments of them being in love. There wasn’t much of a plot but it was very sweet and the book includes little mini herbal recipes after each chapter. So those of you wanting to start it because of the drama just know they’re nothing alike, the names are the same and how they met is still the same but the story is pretty different! With that being said this was a lovely read and perfect for spring season 🪷🪷🎐✨✨✨that’s all from me divas
idk lemme sleep on this bc it was v lukewarm and we kind of lost the plot halfway thru and never regained it ...
, this book was sweet, i guess, but played too much into the damsel in distress trope. the last third of the book was kind of ???? cos we had a landslide, studying abroad, marriage all happen one after the other n it was???everywhere?
the mc is bland enough zheng shuang can probably pull her off so let’s see
