Ren Haiyan, known by her pen name Tong Hua or Zhang Xiao San, was born in 1982. She is one of the most famous contemporary romance novelists in China.
She graduated from Peking University and came to America in 2005. She currently lives in New York. In 2013, Hua co-wrote the television series Perfect Couple, which is currently in production.
3 - 3.5 stars. Much more pleasurable than I expected.
PS. I confess that because there is a very high possibility that the author might end this story with a sad ending, I try to postpone reading it. However, after finishing the 1st book, I can confirm you that although I don't know what the ending will be, this story is still entertaining anyway.
