Summary from Atsu-chan:
Yan Song lost her memory eight years ago, at the young age of 16. She didn't know where she came from or who she was, all that she had was the newborn son in her arms. She and her son were adopted by the lady who hit her with the truck, and she tried to resume a normal life by trying to finish school. It was at school that she met and fell in love with Lin Qiao, one of the top students in the school. But her love was not meant to be. As a single, unwed mother trying to raise a precocious young son, her life is never easy. And then one day she meets talented architect Qin Mo, who may know more about her past than he lets on.
I am 10% into the book because I desperately need to listen to a modern one:) I like it, I like it. The reader is very good. I think she is the voice of HXY. I think there is another version floating around with another reader which is not as good. The guy reader also good plus the music. Oh TQGZ, you are so funny:P
HXY was read by ah shou, the reader for this one is same as DMY. I heard this one is suppose to be more touching than 3l3w10pb, but not as sad as hxy. I'm just started on that other modern book atsu-chan recommended. Was really stuck between reading this or this book. Did coinflip.
haha, I give in. I'm reading this one first.
Hahaha, I know both of you can't resist if I post the book:P I listened until 3am & got an earful from my dad:( I got busted because I can't download the book & have to listen online in the living room. Help, how to download the book fr cxt8? I am at episode 6 now. So far, I like Yan Song & Qin Mo more than Susu & Ye Hua because they are more life like in the modern context. Plus this is my first modern novel, so it is really addictive haha....Lastly the guy reader's voice has a rather modern stable feel, different fr Xiao Bian C who sounds more ancient & funny.
When you click on the download button on the novel's page next to the episode, it takes you to a page like this: http://www.cxt8.com/static/chapter_1778/download_87233.shtml
You can click on any of the 4 buttons on the bottom. I think you can only download one at a time, I usually get problems when I download more than one at a time. I think sometimes you can also have problems download, like it gets very slow during busy hours in China.
Finished downloading, thank you very much. Finished work, running home to marathon, haha...
Oh, the girl reader is the one reading 3000 Crows Kill with Xiao C ge'ge:P No wonder her voice is so familiar. Should have asked C ge'ge to read as Qin Mo:) I think they always team up.
I'm reading along with you. This is my first modern novel so hopefully I'll be able to get through the whole thing. :)
So, how do you like it so far? Too bad, Atsu is not online to discuss more with us:( Btw did I get the title & description translations correct? Since I can't read Chinese, I depended on the audio which I heard 10 times in an hour to write them. Wah, translations are really difficult & time consuming so a big thank you to all the dedicated translators who have such good command of both the languages.
Hahaha, i think you did wonderful on your summary translation.
omg, I just got to the first kiss scene and it was super hot. Totally shipping Qin Mo right now!!! I hope Lin Qiao will smarten up soon, otherwise he won't have a chance Yan Song. Qin Mo is sweeping her off her feet. :D
I don't like the male reader though, his voice sounds nasally and unpleasant.
Where & when is the fire, haha? Oh xiaOyuer, you always love the juicy bits:P At this rate you need more than an umbrella to shelter you from all the heat & hotness, lol.
Hey you shipping Qin Mo yet want Lin Qiao to smarten up, so contradictory:) I think the male reader is meant to sound snooty. Anyway my Xian Bian C has the best male voice:P
haha, C哥's voice is nice.
Lin Qiao's is alright, but what he did with Qin Mo's is very awkward. nasally is very good description. I just see it as he's from overseas so he has an accent. I can accept it more this way. lol
Just started too. The guy's voice for Lin Qiao sounds better than for Qin Mo lol, will make me very bias!
I've become a huge fan of TQGZ after reading 3W3L, HYX, and this book. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next!! The author has an off-beat, humorous writing style that I really like.
In this book, I really like the relationship between Yan Song and her son. I love how Yan Song continues to try to live day by day despite all of the hardships in her life. Her son cracks me up because he's just absolutely adorable in his worldly way. Sometimes, it feels like he's the parent and she's the child....lol
Hey, are you from XiaOyuer's tumblr, the one who read books translated to Vietnamese? Yes, yes, I like TQGZ also. She and Wire (the author for Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like Frost) give me happiness whereas Tong Hua & Fei Wo Si Chun reduce me to tears so that my reading life is in equilibrium:P Oh this story is so short, I need to listen slowly to savour every bits & pieces of it, LOL. TQGZ is very good in writing abt kid. I also love that little dough in 3W3L. In fact, I love him more than Susu & Ye Hua, haha...
yup! I'm your online sibling...lol^^
Yes, the little dough in 3W3L was absolutely adorable too! You're right, I love the kids in TQGZ's story.
This kid reminds me of the son from inside the tw drama autumn concerto.
Laughing at the cold joke that Qin Mo told his son (I'm sure it's his son). I'm almost done with ep5. So far I am liking Yan Song, her kid, and her friend.
A thing I have against this novel and maybe just modern novels in general is the very impossible by chance meetings, especially the time on the road when Qin Mo comes across Yan Song.
Really want to know more about Qin Mo and Yan Song's past. He got an underaged student pregnant. -_-"
Haha, I wanted to say abt Xiao Xiao Bin also. Actually this story sound quite similar to some of Qiong Yao's novels. I think TQGZ is her fan whereas Tong Hua likes Jing Yong.
This is purely speculation but I guess she got pregnant because she was drunk, sick or sad, haha....If TQGZ can come out with another reason, then I increase point for her, LOL. She was Qin Mo's Art student & he though she was dead. Eeeeeee, teacher & student love affair:(
.....if she was in college that would be more appropriate.
I'm going out to walk my dog now. Will catch up on more chapters.
Yes, I love the relationship between Yan Song, her son, and her best friend. It's like they're a family!
One of my fave moments in the book was when YS attempted suicide and her son caught her. She says it'll be good for him if she's gone b/c he'll go to a nice place with food to eat and friends to play with. He says he doesn't want to go to an orphanage b/c he'll be bullied...lol (I love this kid!). This moment is heart-breaking but at the same time, the conversation is offset by the funny conversation between mother and son. This made me cry b/c it's sooo sad but funny at the same time...if that makes sense. It's b/c of her son that YS continues to live no matter how bad her life gets.
Haha... I kind of agree with you about chance meetings in novels, but as long as the story overall is good, I'm OK with it :). I actually felt the ending was a bit out there, but I enjoyed reading this though. A lot of hilarious moment! However, I feel 3W3L10MPB and HXY are much stronger in terms of plot. Can't wait to read TQGZ's next book!!♥♥♥
I just finished 11, I do not like Lin Xiao. He gives me the feeling that he's always liked Yan Song, but it's always another girl that is his girlfriend. With his first girlfriend I get it, but what's with his new girlfriend?
Also just realized that Yan Song probably is 2 years older than she was suppose to be. 16 at the age of the accident wasn't her age, but was the age of her foster mother's daughter, Yan Song.
So Lin Xiao is actually at least 2 years younger than her? It seemed like they started her in middle school, but then her math was very good and in the end the put her in high school, 1st year.
Now, I'm not sure if her kid is Qin Mo's... The third male lead just came into the picture.
Everyone keeps saying that Lin Qiao sacrificed oh-so-much for Yan Song, but I didn't see him sacrificing anything. Maybe because the book is in a first person POV, but I'm not exactly clinking with Lin Qiao. He blows hot and then cold...
......a 3rd guy now?
If Lin Qiao did love Yan Song he would have stayed single after breaking up with his first girlfriend. I don't get this guy.
Ahhh, nevermind. Yan Lang is definitely Qin Mo's.
lol I thought so.
Yes, unlike Qin Mo
The girlfriend that showed up with the $20,000 such a disappointment. Guy never learns & never does the right thing.
Now I'm beginning to pity Lin Qiao a bit. When you find out his entire story, I think you will too. But, I can't believe Tang Qi Gong Zi chose to use that plot line. Arggg....
Still cheering for the Qin Mo/Yan Song pairing though.
I think I am at that point... hehe
Yan Song just asked him if he liked her, and he said no. *bangs head on wall*
Nope, keep going, you're not at that point yet.
Lin Qiao is like Meng Jiu. He loves her, but their timing messed up everything. Though, Meng Jiu is 1000x better because he was loyal to Jin Yu...
I not there yet, but I have a gist of what's his story and why that girl is his girlfriend right now. He's sick right now and indebted to that other girl.
I'm very happy with the Qin Mo and Yan Song parts, so cute.
If this is what's the deal, I'm can't help but be a little disappointed. The whole-while reading this, I get the whole taiwanese drama feel.
Oh, all of you are so fast. I am only on Chapter 15 of the audio book but I think I missed bits & pieces here & there as I drifted in & out of sleep, haha.....I've always supported Qin Mo from the beginning inspite of his nasally voice:P I think I am not into Lin Qiao is because he blows hot & cold plus he gives me high school kid feel, heehee...
