This was a humorous, down-to-earth, relatable, easygoing, and surprisingly endearing story. I didn’t realize how much I needed a Chinese novel with a lighter mood and an “unserious” female lead until I read this one. While Xie Huaimin/Xie Zhaohua does bend somewhat to fit into the norms of the new world, she never loses her modern, sarcastic nature. Her witty, sharp responses had me laughing all the way through.
