Synopsis :
Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian had secretly longed for each other for thirteen years, and now that there's a possibility for them to be together, even though the circumstances may be unconventional, neither one can refuse their inner desires any longer.
Hurled into a false marriage, Qiao Anhao treads carefully towards the cold and reclusive Lu Jinnian, but after years of near-missed opportunities and deep misunderstandings, how could their last shot at love possibly run smooth?
**"Nation Husband" is a Korean term awarded to a man who is perfect in the eyes of the public - an ideal husband.

POSITIVE REVIEW :
First Rating: 4 S
The misunderstandings are really deep, DEEP. But that's the intention of the author. it was made like that, stated in the description itself, you can't complain about the second-main topic of the novel "misunderstanding" that is like complaining and rating a novel with 1 stars because you hate harem and that novel is "HAREM".
The MCs feel for each other since they meet, love at first sight. They wanted to be together so hard but couldn't due to the misunderstandings and the fact that their personalities are screwed up. (ML is cold, but he deeply cares about the FM, not saying anything about that, though). The FM screwed up everything in the chapter 1 with what she said, things would have turned in a different way, the novel would have ended in less than 10 chapters, no, the novel would have been a one-shot novel if the words she has chosen were different.
The ML is a bit overboard though... when he is jealous, he forces himself on her, venting his feelings, treating her like she was nothing but a slut prepared for him.
Don't worry, the chapters are really short (600 words), so, even if the novel has so many misunderstandings, you can read the chapters really fast and the plot never stays in the same place for 1000000 chapters like in other novels.
The misunderstandings aren't that hurtful, they prevent their relationship to make progress but it doesn't screw everything up (Like she is kidnaped after a tantrum in home or something like that, it never happens).
Try to fast-read the novel and the pain in the heart for the misunderstandings won't kill you.
Btw, I want to say something about the description:
'You are not allowed to touch me in public. You are not allowed to tell anyone that I'm your wife. You are not allowed to tell anyone that we stay together.' it was like she completely hates their relationship.
"On their marital night, she had told Lu Jinnian that she won't be a hindrance, won't affect his lifestyle, and won't let the public know about their relationship.
She also added that since they weren't a real couple, they couldn't consummate."
But the ML answered with "You better remember your words"
Their misunderstandings have their own reasons though, since the beginning of their relationship when they were young, they were always working, not to get into a relationship with each other, instead, working hard to make themselves "worth" of the other, they focused on make themselves worth, not to grow up their relationship. They planned to confess once they think that they are now worthly.
The ML was poor, he was working hard to get money and protect her.
The FL wanted to stay by his side, she was indeed trying to work on their relationship but she was too shy (her parents died since she was young and she was treated a bit like an outsider in the house of her aunt).
Both of them were shy to share their feelings, they were trying to approach slowly, but that was increasing their distance. She wants to be in the same class as him so she studies really hard to bring her grades up. He wants to be in the same class as her so he purposefully fails the test.
That made them think that the other part was avoiding them, causing them to think that every action they made in the future, was not due to love or care, instead, hate or for their "public image". Working really hard to be with the other, but thinking that the other part hates them, they were really hurt and lost their confidence.
Updated: Chapter 154
Ok, this is not a reasonable misunderstanding anymore, he has seen her crying but treated more even badly and ran away like a coward, the misunderstandings became really forced, this is just getting annoying. Will I have to wait till chapter +600-700 for their relationship to improve?
Updated: Chapter 386
Second Rating: 3 S
Ok, this is just painful and heartbreacking, WHY CAN'T THEY TALK? ARE THEY MUTE?
Spoiler
She was pregnant, her """"mother-in-law"""" was angry because the child was from the ML and secretly gave her some pills to kill their child, the child died, she wasn't aware of her pregnancy and abortion. Some time later, seeing that they still had some feeligs for each other, the mother-in-law made another scheme, twisting the story and making it sound like the ML didn't want their child and decided to forcefully abort it, the FM didn't ask him about it, never complained, just cried silently.
Author, I know that your intention is to make them really dumb and dense, but they are 28 years old adults, you made them smart for everything but not for relationships. There should be a limit, you cannot write so many stupid things like that, this is way worse than a "Young Master" every 10 chapters in a Xianxia novel.
ENDING
Last Rating 5 S
Beautiful! completely loved the ending! (I'm not going to read any other Shoujo though. The road was really painful, but it was worth of it!).
My review ends here: Every misunderstanding was solved, every evildoer paid for their sins.

NEGATIVE REVIEW :
WTF
Seriously?! WTF. How is this romantic? It's an abusive relationship where the FL keeps blaming herself for the abuse she's getting. And she's getting raped. How is rape romantic? I want to effing punch the face of ML nto unrecognizable mess because clearly that's the only good thing about him and he doesn't deserve it.
Like, I give a lot of leeways to most shoujo novels because not every relationship is perfect at the beginning and this is fiction. I get that. I shrug off creepy behaviors like when one of the leads is stalking the other for 'keeping safe' reasons, or watching/kissing the other one while sleeping when they're not even together yet and no obvious consent is given, or blatant disrespect to the other one's privacy, etc.
Even stupid misunderstandings as plot device is okay. I get that too, even if I want to bash my head out of frustration. But this story. Mygod. The ML is so abusive. Also, forcing s*x on someone is r@pe. Anger is no excuse to r@pe someone. Actually, there's no excuse on wiolating someone's body like that. Then the FL is like, did I do/say simething wrong? WTF.
No. This relationship is unhealthy and if they want to have actual good relationship, they need a massive dose of therapy. I'm female and I love romance. It's painful for me to see how other girls think this story is romantic and cute.
Again. WTF
