What is it that makes a man fall in love with a woman at first sight?
Appearance? Aura? Wealth?
NO, when campus prince and gaming expert, student Xiao Nai first saw Bei Wei Wei, what made him fall in love was not her extraordinary beauty, but her slim and slender fingers that were flying across the keyboard and her calm and composed manner!!!
Embarrassing, no?
At the same time, gaming expert Bei Wei Wei, at this time and place is on the computer, methodically commanding a guild war, and won a perfect and glorious victory despite being at a disadvantage, and was completely unaware that cupid is nearby.
Soon after basketball player, swimmer, all-around excellent student, and game company president, Xiao Nai, uses both tactics on and off-line to take this beauty’s heart.
Therefore this romance slowly bloomed.

I think its so cute.
I’m a little more than half done, and it’s so cute that she runs around calling him 大神, 大神. Of course Xiao Nai’s lines are so funny. I also like that wuxia feel when Wei Wei plays the game.
Awww, Gu Man is the best!!♥♥♥
I enjoyed this book, but I have to admit this was my first read in the “online game” genre so things were a bit confusing in the beginning for me because I don’t play games online.
Out of her 3 books, I like 杉杉来吃 the most, then 何以笙箫默, then this one.
Yes, Yes, I heard good reviews on all 3 of this author books so I gonna read them slowly to savour them bit by bit, haha….Thank you all for the feedbacks & I shall return to rave abt this book, heehee
Hey sister lucy, did you read A Simple Love before? I think your dream of marrying a rich guy which was shattered by The 3rd Kind of Love will be restored by that novel:P
Oh, so happy since I need some cheering up after 2 weepy novels. I’ve finished 20% of the book. It is so fun & cute. I wanna become a gamer, lol. Is the online game in the novel a real game? Where to play? Must know Chinese in order to play this game? I’ve only played facebook games. This weekend, I gonna devote myselt to ‘KO’ this book, haha….
Ko? Is that insider language that only those reading the book can understand? I can’t believe u read 2 of that author’s books back to back. Im not gonna even start on mirage until a few more books. The author makes me feel too gloomy.
Xiaoyuer explained KO means ‘Knock Out’ in the game world. I finished half of the book as I listened till 4am. Oh, too happy to go to sleep, haha….I like this book. I like this book, lol. The guy’s name Xiao Nai sound so sissy. Luckily Wei Wei calls him 大神 which sound so cool. Wei Wei is such a popular name in China.
I like Xin Yi Wu’s books. Her books are gloomy but so heart felt. Mookie is also reading Let me Look but still early stage. I also like 顾漫 books. Btw she should be on the popular authors list. This fluffy book is helping me to recover from Let me Look:)
You repeating “I like this book” twice makes me think it’s a very fluffy happy book that will make the reader float. I was like this when after I read Trap. How’s the audiobook? Half of me want to read this next and half of me want to save it. I haven’t nice modern books that really fits my appetite. I’m not really into gloomy modern novels, gloomy ancient ones are alright.
Yes, yes, I feel so surreal now, wandering in my online wuxia world, lol. Pls don’t PK me as I don’t wanna wake up, haha…..
I also wanted to save this for later but since this is such a popular book & most ppl seem to have read it so might as well join the crowd. A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush, lol. I can always listen again next yr.
There are 4 versions of this book floating around. I don’t like the one on cxt8 bcos only have a female voice. I need my guy to sound like a man, haha..But I think that version is the most comprehensive. The other one, I think is read by a radio broadcaster. I am not sure as I didn’t really bother to listen.
I think there is also a short radio play by Petboy. I gonna listen to that next yr. Lastly, I am listening to the version with 12 chapters on tudou. I feel this is a fusion of audio book & radio play. Something like Amy broadcast with many voices, music & a few songs. I think they edited the book a bit but not as much as the radio play to confuse me. Currently loving this version.
I am listening to this book right now and i really really like it. Im listening to the cxt8 version. Its alright, but what’s.the link to the tudou one u used?
Im in the very beginning when her ex husband in the game is about to marry another girl player. Did they cut out alot of scenes in the version u used?
I think I only listened to a chapter of the cxt8 version. I like this version the best http://www.mysye.com/books/2902.html
I am in love with Xiao Nai’s cool voice, lol. Yah, I dream of marrying a reader so he can read me bedtime stories every night, lol. Oh too bad, Cgege is married:( I painstakingly downloaded & converted all of them to MP3 files. They are rather big files so don’t think I can send them to you. I don’t think a lot of scenes are cut as there is abt 10 hrs of recording as there is abt 50 mins in a file.
Haha, at last you gave me to temptation:) I am such a good influnce, haha…I recommend you nothing but the best:) Whenever you’ve time, leave me a post on your progress as I love to rant & rave abt this fav book of mine:)
I really want to play this game. Haha i got to part where she’s become married to that #1 guy. The game feel is very heavily seeped into the story. Its more humorous if u have some game playing experience. Really rekindle ur interest to play again, but they don’t got wuxia games in English. Boo
Im not that greedy as that will leave me with too less guys to choose from. =P, i just want a guy that will listen to audiobook with me. I just found out he was married like yesterday. Haha
You’ll see later that Xiao Nai is very sweet & romantic. Also, smart & handsome. Such person can only exist in an online game, haha..Wei Wei is likable but a bit clueless & slow. Is there such a game? Anyway you can read Chinese. Go & play & meet your Xiao Mai:P I don’t think I am giving you spoiler but tell me when you’ve reached the real world.
I think Cgege looks young only but maybe late 20s. Or he married young like immediately after college. So probably he is productive lately bcos he wants to earn more milk powder money, haha…Wah will be interesting if the dad & son read a book together, lol.
i join the camping for this story so late!!
Xiao Nai inside the game is so swoon-worthy lol. No wonder Wei Wei is addicted to the game! Wait~ i think she was addicted before she met Xiao Nai though.
This really makes me feel like going back and playing games, but Zhu Xian game is not as fun (or bian tai lol) as this Meng Hui Jiang Hu. Makes me want to get married in there lol! But i doubt will have anything resembling a touching love story with my virtual hubby. Should not try to get myself addicted back to games, too much wasting energy, putting off schoolwork and stuff. I’ll just get my dose from this story, it’s so my cup of tea though!! The Xiao Nai + Wei Wei vs ex competition is so funny. Her hubby is such a hero hehe
I love the names in the game. I can’t remember Wei Wei’s name in the game, it’s still Wei Wei right? I love Da Shen’s name, 一笑奈何. It’s so wuxia feel. Seems like Gu Man likes to put names together to make her title.
Late birds, late birds, lol…..Didn’t you see this is my no. 1 book:P? I gonna listen to the pet boy version maybe during xmas as I think his voice will be even more swoon worthy, haha….I think she is called Lu Yi WEI WEI. They use part of their real names – Yi XIAO NAI Her. Hey, are you listening to the 12 episode version? I like the parts where they have to do tasks. There is one task which makes allusion to Rtn of the Condor Heroes. This is so good bcos of the blending of the wuxia & modern world. I sort of lost interest later, after they met for real:(
Yup im reading the 12 episodes version. I always want to pick it up but afraid to finish it too fast. Got to the real life Xiao Nai. Hopefully it’ll stay cute and not get as boring as u say. Haha i watched some fan vids for this book. They used Tang Yan as the real life Wei Wei and Shi Shi as game Wei Wei. Hu Ge as Xiao Nai and Nai He. Wallace Huo as Zhen Shui. Strange, i would have swapped Wallace and Hu Ge. Especially since Ma Tian Yu and the guy playing Cai Lang are totally the two friends in this story.
I have to say that i think her character would have been more awesome had Gu Man not described her to be having a killer body. Being very pretty i am alright with, but keep bringing up her killer body is so weird.
omg it exists! in english! but not yet T_T
http://www.ageofwushu.com/
I’m so gonna fulfill my fangirly Jiang Hu dreams in here, Wei Wei-style lol
T_T have to wait more than half a month. Thinking up character names now. haha
Looks so pretty. I love the no level thing, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to play very well since I’m terrible at MMORPGs. But I’m definitely going to give it a try if only to live my Jianghu dreams and such pretty scenery.
lol the trailer got me all high already. I’ve only played like 2 games and both were like xianxia so this is gonna be fun. See you in Jiang Hu then skyblue!!!! maybe we can make a clan or something hehe
The game looks good but it cost a lot of time & money to do well so I’ll pass:( Anyway, if any of you are playing, good luck in finding a Xiao Nai:P
Chancy, the 12 chapters version is the best right? Real life is not boring, still sweet but online is better:) Hehe, I prefer Hu Ge over Wallace Huo. I saw that awful drama Unbeatables just for Hu Ge & Tang Yan:P I don’t remember the killer body part. Probably Gu Man wanna sell her novel to the guys so she added that bit or maybe it is not in the book but added by the radio drama to attract the guys, lol.
Hello friends. I just want to come here and say how much I love this book coz I find myself re-reading it again and again heh!
I started playing mmogame again because of this. Haha
Watched an ep of Gao Shou Ru Lin the Hu Ge drama, it’s really random and game-y. You finished it Peanuts? Awful… haha. At least Hu Ge looked really nice in it. He should take more modern dramas.
If you guys wanna play 九阴真经 please choose North America server so we can play together!!! hehe and post your in-game name here so me and chancy can friend you and stalk you inside the game!
Hey, when god encounters god also is a good novel similar to Wei Wei. Give it a try.
I’m addicted to games now. @_@ I blame Wei Wei. I’m reading that game book Cgege read. I just finished Chong Zi. Watching some Korean melo now.
Really hope Bu gege’s next book is this one.
Found a Xiao Nai to marry in the game, lol? Is Cgege’s game book good? Wow, you super fan, finished all you Bu gege’s books so fast. Already nearly 1 mth, that Cherry still haven’t posted her new work with B & C gege:( Ok, you support B & I support C gege’s characters in the book, heehee….All the current books in cxt8 are not my cup of tea:( What Korean melo are you watching?
I don’t know the name of the Korean drama, but it’s very long.
haha The game doesn’t allow marriage yet, but it does have discipleship right now. In the game they call it Shi Xiong/Shi Jie. I found myself a Shi Xiong to help me level faster. Had to chase him around the entire school ground just to track him down to accept me as his Shi Mei. =(
Overall, it’s a pretty addicting game.
As for C-gege’s game book. It’s not very romantic, but it’s crazy funny. The girl reader is pretty good. I’m still trying to figure out which guy she will end up with.
Just finished reading this book, great storyline & cute characters! 🙂
SOS…help, help….It’s quite a challenge reading this book as I find the online game contents very complicated and confusing.
Can somebody, anybody…..tell me if I skip all the parts revolving around the game, would I still get to fully appreciate the actual storyline?
I really want to read this book becoz I am a big fan of Gu Man.
The online game contents part is the most impt & swoon worthy part of the novel so you cannot skip them !!!! Click on the radiodrama 1 link above & listen to the audiobook. A lot easier to listen & very nice. Trust peanuts:P Btw did u use my link to read Shan Shan? When I am translating it, I find out that there is more. Don’t kill me:(
Ok, I will attempt to continue with WeiWei again. Tx.
Yes, I use your link to read the Chinese version of ShahShan, but I haven’t read your translated version yet. Waiting for you guys to finish the whole works first!!! Btw, you mention you found out there’s more…..more of what???
This must hv been the most difficult book for me thus far. I don’t know how many times I’ve aborted the book, but thanks to Peanuts (again) and becoz it was a piece of GuMan, I persisted.
The clouds of confusion only lifted when the leads finally met and the game content took a backseat thereafter. A piece of advice to those who simply hv got zero appreciation or understanding of Chinese role-playing online games and who wants to read this book : start with the first few chapters (just to hv a feel of who’s who), then skip the rest until chapter 21, then resume to the end.
The online game aside, this is really a light and breezy book, for once, the leads did not even hv the slightest quarrel or misunderstanding. It was a rather straight line affair after they met each other in real life. Due to this, (i don’t believe i’m actually saying this) but i thought the storyline could do with a little bit of excitement or even angst. I also thought the relationship aspect and their romance proper were not sufficiently developed. And although I also felt that there wasn’t enough of sweet moments, I guess I was rewarded with the wedding gown fiasco epilogue at the end…heehee…
But for once, the female lead, WeiWei is a knockout beauty with brains!! As for the male lead, Xiao Nai, comes with the usual ingredients (no need to elaborate) although I don’t like his name, sounds too milkish to me.
All in all, I feel a sense of accomplishment for having read all three of GuMan’s completed books and ShanShan remains at the top.
I’m a new fan of the voice actor, Yun Duo’s (云朵)! She makes the audio book (listed as version 2 in the links) sound like a radio drama. <3
I just finished listening to chapter 1 (part 4 in the ebook listed above) and can't believe how seamlessly her animated voice(s) flowed as I read along with the book.
I haven't gotten around to getting lost in the jargons of the online gaming world as it's still early yet, but so far I'm already amused by all the marriages, stolen spouses, divorces, multiple players' lynches/interactions that took place in that world. LOL. I was never a big gamer, but I can only assume that is normal in RPGs? 😀 (I think online game marriages also took place in Yu Wo's ½ 王子).
Only on the first chapter, and I'm already admiring Bao Wei Wei because she's bright and beautiful. She was described as a Hua Ping Xing beauty "花瓶型的美女", which I think refers to someone whose only good attribute would be her beautiful looks (a stunning airhead?).
I really like that Wei Wei strives to be diligent in her studies and despite her good looks and people's disbelief that she's more than meets the eye, she's a student at a top university. Now that's a female lead I can root for!
ooooh, and already an interaction between her and 一笑奈何. Despite his godly status in the gaming world, do people actually go around calling him 大神?? that's hilarious! 😀 😀
i just start reading trough google translator….. wish me luck….
You need all the luck bcos I dun think this novel is understandable with google translate due to its online gaming content.
If you have the patience, this novel might be translated soon. 😉
🙂

Here’s another source for English translation of the book 🙂

Yey! I finished the book over 2 days (exc epilogues) n find it a delightful book. The first part took a bit getting used to because I don’t play online games n find it hard to imagine the game scenes n characters. Just when I start to immerse myself in the beauty of game world, we move to reality n it is adaptation all over again to their real life persona.
Overall, I think it is a fun n cute read n would rate it 4 stars.
I just finished this book and was surprised that was there was a gay couple. So I’ve been wondering if there are any other Chinese novel that focuses on a gay couple? I searched for it but found none 🙁
We called gay novel as BL (Boy Love) in Chinese. You can find the list of translations here:
http://bltranslation.blogspot.com.au/p/links.html
Hehe I sooo love this novel. I am a gamer so I appreciated it even more. If only I can find Xiao Nai that way. I quite prefer to call him Da Shen though. It seems to fit him more.
It is really interesting to read. I wonder if they are going to adapted it into drama?
I’m being late but still… Thank you for the reply! ^^
Hey does anyone know where can I listen to the radio drama, the link posted above doesnt work. Thank you
I’ve tried the radio drama links & they are working for me. Strictly speaking link 1 is not a radio drama becos it is longer and not as good quality. Yet it is also not an audiobook bcos it has been summarised a fair bit. Link 2 is a radio drama but only 1 episode has been done & it doesn’t look like it gonna be continued. I listened fr tudou. Subsequent chapters are at the side but not in numerical order.
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/RxI3NRfKtjM/
I quite enjoyed it but I also like watching people play on Twitch lol
I didn’t like Shan Shan Come and Eat or Silent Separation but after getting it recommended many times, I decided to give it a chance and am SO happy I did 😀 😀 It is super sweet and fun, and reduces me to a crazy giggly starry-eyed teengirl XD A perfect pick me up for a rainy day.
Also, I think audiobook 1 is quite good 🙂 It only has a female voice but her voice is pleasant and the background music is good and creates a great mood.
This is my first Chinese novel after more than 20 years. Love the content of the book. Reminds me of my days in varsity whereby I was also busy playing MMORPG and found my man online.
Reading in the book, loved the way author penned the character 肖奈 offline and his online character 一笑奈何.
Personally, I rank this my favorite, followed by 何以笙箫默 and third 杉杉来吃.
Oh, and I love the side story between 微微 & 杉杉 family. So cute.
Nothing much happens in this novel LOL. But it was an enjoyable read – very sweet from start to finish XD I’m glad Yang Yang will be Da Shen in the upcoming drama adaption!
The drama was a good adaption of the novel and even fleshed out plot lines which were not in the novel. Yang Yang was on spot as Da Shen
The drama really follows the plot line closely even though some parts in the drama was elaborated but the plot remains the same as novel. The bromance is incredible and i like the sound effect for the funny scene.
I can’t believe I was so LATE in reading this book. After hearing people raving about this one. Now it is one of my favorite! After losing so much tears for angsty historical books, I’ve been searching for this type of books ever since. “Low angst with cute heroine and a bit black belly male lead.”
So far, I’ve read…
3 books by Guman (ShanShan, Silent, and this one)
– Really, really miss you
– Honey Stewed Squid
I’ve been eyeing
– My Silly Girl Cherished Moments of After Marriage
– Once We Come Across Love
any more recommendations?
It doesn’t need to be modern, I just like ‘fuhei’ with low angst LOL
Lastly, I don’t know how to thank you all for this website Hahaha
It really opens me to C-novels. And I’m really glad I found it. 🙂
They did a wonderful work in love o2o drama I loved it….bt nw searching for a love o2o book please help me know from where I can get it….love u yang yang
