Synopsis :
After five years, Ning Xi has returned and is out to take revenge on the sister who turned her parents against her and the childhood sweetheart who betrayed her for her sister. She aims to fulfill her childhood dream and become a famous actress. However, her sister is still out to get her, and she has to avoid all her underhanded schemes.
One day, after falling into one of her sisters' schemes, she meets an adorable kid and saves him. This is how Ning Xi found herself staying at the autistic little kid's house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father, Lu Tingxiao, starts falling for her too.

POSITIVE REVIEW :
This is truly a gem.
I've read the Chinese raws up to 1500+
The story line isn't particularly deep, but it's very engaging. Honestly speaking, I don't think that a deep plot is necessary for a novel of this genre either.
What that pulls you into this novel is the interaction between the characters.
The characters have their unique personality, and the hilarious way which they interact with one another is what that builds the story.
I'll recommend it for those who are looking for a slice of life, doting, comedy, with a pinch of face-slapping from time to time.

CRITICAL REVIEW :
The first chapters are more or less entertaining but as the story goes on, it becomes heavier to read.
Same type of villainess. ALWAYS GIRLS (woah! Surprise!) who are envious of MC and try to use poisonous words to humiliate Ning Xi (mostly, througth wealth comparations). Implying that she's a "cheap" woman who only knows to sleep with powerful men for money, status and power.
Also, MC's first love is a brainless guy. Really, very annoying...
Big Bun is the typical perfect guy that knows MC is a strong and independent woman and whenever she's in problems he lets her solve by her own but... Hey, actually, I'm always helping you in the shadows. Hey! Notice me! Look how powerful man I'm. Marry me.
Also, the extra people that acts as gossippers whenever Villainess A, B, C, D, E... tries to humiliate her are always as brainless as MC's first love shitty guy. Always like "there goes MC! Villaines A said she's a slut, therefore, she must be a slut!" "MC is such a lucky woman, she may even have real talent..." "But, hey, Villainess B critized her clothes! Actually, she's always wearing the same no name brand, she must be poor. Ha! MC is so pitiable, she wears clothes like a beggar! *giggle*"

My thoughts :
Probably if I picked this novel now i might not have liked it. But when I read this novel, it was first time I was reading this kind of novel and I loved it. How much ever I might have disliked this novel, I admit this remains one of my favorite webnovels.
One of the very few novels I read mtls of.
