This is a short novel so I've finished 25% of it. I picked it up because I saw that it is at no 9 on hamster's livejournal. My initial impression is a mixed one. I think being no 9 is over-rated but I believe story wise it is better than The Third Kind of Love as it is sugar coated so easier to stomach. Yet, it lacks TQ's humour in Twice Blooming Flower so you feel the narration is rather flat.
The 2 leading protagonists are not terribly interesting yet I don't know why I am being pulled in by their indecent relationship, haha..I absolutely hate the way they started their affair. Also, dislike the girl for being so passive & a door mat & the guy for being such a jerk. Yet, the matter of fact & calm observation in the novel just compel me to want to know how everything will end.
I find it so hard to find a decent modern novel that actually captivates me. If this doesn't work for you, Do try 请你听我碎碎念. It has a good audiobook and story is compelling enough.
Thanks for the recommendation. I am saving Gu Man's books for rainy day:) I am at the half way mark of this book already. It is not all that bad if you can suspend belief & treat it as a modern Cinderella story or 101 Ways to Hook a Rich Guy:P Don't know why I don't like most of the modern novels listed on hamster's site yet there are quite a handful of them. Keeping my fingers cross that C gege & lawyer reader will choose one which can captivate us:) Just now I tried to listen to a modern story about stepmom read by C gege.
Gu Man? Who's that? Yes, i'm sceptical about how that poll was voted. I tried this other novel from it called "So what if you are my student." Not too captivating, but i have low patience for modern novels.how's the Stepmom book? I like most of the participating readers.
Gu Man is the author of the top 2 modern novels recommended by atsu. The performance for the Stepmom book is good. I can't recognise C gege's voice or maybe he is not out yet in chapter 1. However the subject matter of this book isn't my cup of tea. The opening is eerie so I am scared:(
I'm all over the place right now, I'm having hard time reading Glass Maiden, it's an adventure/growing up novel.
I'm reading story about a girl and a ghost. It's suppose to be a happy ending. I'll give A Simple Love a try tonight also. Wanted to try it last night, but I can't download off of Cxt8.com from my phone and it's not on the other sites I usually use.
Hey, I am in the same boat as you:( I sampled many chapter 1 yesterday:) I started I've an Urgency. C gege's voices are cute & good but I just don't have the urge to listen continuously:( What is the name of the ghost story?
Thus, I am continuing with this. Whenever I want to drop it, something happened to pull me back into the story. At times, the guy can be very sweet to the girl & melt my heart, heehee But at times he is so childish & annoying. Their relationship has its up & down like how I feel towards this book. I should be finishing today. Do give it a try as you might like it more than me. I can't say I like or dislike this book yet. Will reserve my judgement till I finish it.
How are you guys downloading from cxt8? For me, all of the tracks cost money, and since I can't link up my account to one of the Chinese online payment accounts...I don't know where to find this!
I would like to know how peanuts downloads this too. I can only stream it online, but can't download. I can only stream from cxt8 from my laptop, but i don't wanna sleep with my laptop. Lol
it's not on the other sites either.
Haha, there is nothing peanuts cannot find:P Btw I sleep with my ipad:P
Me too!! Peanuts, help!! :D

Click on ordinary download, right click mouse & save as. Enjoy ! Welcome back Atsu:) I am in a hurry, chat later.
Currently on chapter 2, i really like it.
You don't think there is something wrong with the virgin girl for having one night stand with the guy? She is not even attracted to him & barely know him. They did it just because she feels sad on the dad's death anniversary. I am not a prude but this is really dangerous. It will be more acceptable if the author says the girl has a crush on him or have some feelings for him. Also, the lack of conversation in the book make it really hard for me the ship the couple.
Whoa. After reading that comment, I went ahead and tried a the first five chapters. First impressions: the girl IS a doormat and their relationship is beyond weird. It's like they hardly ever talk and their only contact is when they are in bed together.
As for the whole first night one night stand thing, I also think the girl was pretty dumb to hook up with a guy she barely knows and doesn't even like. I get the feeling that she's so lonely and doesn't 'zi ai' (love herself) enough. Peanuts, maybe we are too traditional and put too much emphasis on love because these kinds of random hookups seem to happen all the time in college. Thank goodness my roommate and suitemates aren't like that.
I'm inclined to keep reading because I like jealous guys and Jiang Shao was definitely a big vat of vinegar when he saw her dining with another man. So what happens in the end? Peanuts, please spoil me. :D
Hahaha, you'll get a lot of bed scenes throughout the book but not that descriptive but maybe enough to make you blush:P Yah, Jiang Shao is pretty intense & territorial. I like him more than the girl:P I still have 8 chapters to go so will spoil you later:)
Shocking that this book is written in Chinese. We live in the Western world so 1 night stand is quite normal. Just that it is such a waste to lose it to a stranger who might not even remember who you are. No matter how sad or lonely one feels, this is really too much. I can't comprehend anyone doing it unless that guy is an actor like Wallace or someone equally handsome, haha..There need not be love but at least there must be like.
My thoughts exactly. Their relationship is very strange indeed. I don't get romantic feels from this yet.
I've finished the book except the epilogue. The ending is kind of arupt. It is something between open ending & happy ending. Didn't say they got married or live happily ever after but they are together. Love can come & go so there is no guarantee of the future which is sort of realistic. This book isn't really a romantic book because at times it is rather realistic yet at times it is just a fairy tale. I think this book is saying after sex, there can be love later but my order is love then sex. Maybe I listened to too many time travel novels & left my brain in ancient time:P All in all, I don't really fancy this book but it is an interesting book which gives me food for though:)
The other book I like by 梅子黄时雨 is First Love, Last Love (最初的爱，最后的爱) which tell of Banker Yan Bo Yao who met his former girlfriend Wang Shu Mo after a lapse of four years. He found himself missing her but understand they can never go back, not to mention three months after she broke up with him, was in rush to find a new boyfriend and she was pregnant with someone else's child. Wang Shu Mo didn't expect the poor student she know him turned out to be a suave rich man. They thought they have let go of the past but their memories are still locked in that small Los Angeles apartment they share.

Oops, I just found out this book was posted before, pardon me. Thanks for sharing : ) anyone post any stuff by Lan Base?
Lan Base's book which has been adapted into the drama starring Jerry & Tong Li Ya had been posted. Thanks for sharing but a few housekeeping rules. In the future, use the search function at the top right to search the author's name in Chinese to ensure the book you want to post has not been posted. If possible, don't use jjwxc website as the link bcos they are always incomplete and difficult to use google translate on it. Lastly, spread your posting to only 1 a day but you can draft as many as you like as you need to give readers time to digest.
