I’ve been having a rough time focusing on plot-heavy books lately because my free time just can’t keep up anymore. But one thing I always look forward to, whenever I actually get a moment to breathe, is reading. I saw 意外标记 recommended as a fluffy, light-hearted danmei with nothing too deep, and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. It took me an entire week to finish, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It wasn't hard to recall the story even with long breaks, because everything flows so smoothly, and the novel had so much more heart than I expected. I genuinely liked it!
Pei Shaoze and Cheng Xia is such a wonderful couple. I have nothing bad to say to them, I like them so much! Nothing felt overly sweet or cloying and I was simply having the best time every time I opened their book. They're also so funny! I especially liked in the early parts where they don't talk in the same channel; like when Cheng Xia is already thinking about their wedding but Pei Shaoze is just thinking about their first date, haha! Moreover, Pei Shaoze is such a good alpha, and Cheng Xia is such a lovely omega, they feel almost too good to be true, but in a way that hits the perfect spot for me. I also love the omega empowerment in this story, and I really appreciated how everything stayed smooth sailing. Sometimes, books like this are exactly what I need to get through the week.
I’m so glad Shaoze transmigrated, because he ended up helping everyone around him. Aside from the couple, I adore Shaoze's younger brother. Pei Shaoyan is such a good and hardworking kid, and seeing him thrive made me so happy. I love how everyone gets a happy ending. I even cried at the extra where Shaoze and Cheng Xia grow old together and die at the same time, like THEY ARE SO SOULMATES, I SWEAR. And then they meet again in the real world! I'm just so, so happy for them.
All in all, it was the perfect comfort read, and I'm so glad it found me when I needed it most.
