A pair of seemingly intelligent but awkward man and woman, because of fate met, got to know each other and got married. However, they did not learn how to get along with each other.
They exhibit overly strong self-protective behaviors to the extent that they overlooked the many things which were beautiful.
They don’t believe in love, so when true love came, the first choice was to flee.
Both of them possess outstanding IQ, but have never use them on the right place.
Actually all Shen An Ruo has ever wanted is a sense of security. Whereas Cheng Shao Chen just wanted her to care about him.
Both of them also thought they didn’t get what they wanted, hence they left.
But after they divorced, they only started to realize that what they desired, they had them once before ……
[Ebook] [Completed Radiodrama] [Audiobook] [Khách qua đường vội vã][과객총총]
Bongsd asked me to post this because she wants to read other ppl’s opinions since she doesn’t trust my good taste:( I can tell you that lidge found the book boring & felt asleep but can you trust lidge’s bad taste lol? FYI, this book is very popular in China, always on the top 50 list. Well, that doesn’t say much since most of the time we don’t share similar taste as them.
I’ve to confess I cheated, lol. I listened to the radio drama first then read the remainder of the book. For those who can understand Mandarin, especially hoju, you must listen to the radio drama bcos petboy sounded so good as Cheng Shao Chen (fangirling mode here:P). I don’t know if the production crew wrote the song themselves but it is very nice & fitting for the radio drama.
Well, this book will not appeal to Xinn Xinn bcos there is nothing remotely funny abt it. It may appeal to Pm who has better taste, lol. Basically it is kind of a realistic portrayal of some marriages which lack communication and one needs to compromise to keep a marriage. It has been written fairly well but not overly exciting bcos we don’t really have a small 3 (mistress) to spice up the plot. Just an exploration of 2 ppl fell in love, got married, the problems in the marriage, got divorced & finally realised they did meet the right person at the right time but marriage is not the fairy tale happy ending as you need to work very hard to keep it.
Oh, forgot to mention, the author also loves to mention some nice songs in the novel. I am a woman so I am supposed to be on the female lead’s side, right? But, I like the male lead better. Although he is not perfect, I feel that he cares more than the female lead.
Hey, we are thinking alike! I was just going to start this tomorrow. I’m still in my “marriage first, love later” phase and this one has been recommended so many times. And of course, I saw it on petboy’s list of works. LOL.
Will report back after I’ve read it.
AH Peanuts you posted this! Love this novel and am actually reading another novel by the same author. <3
Report back! Like to read ur reviews 😛
Cough, cough, now all of you should know who has the best taste in books:P
Hoju, I can read you like a book, lol. I knew you’ll check out this book after reading petboy’s resume. You can’t stomach bongsd’s dog blood anymore lol? FYI, I’ve heard nearly all of his radio drama 🙂 Actually I read this book, a very long time ago but just too lazy to post it 😛
Cloud&sea, since knowing me your taste in books has improved:P
I was about to read this book when I saw your post, thank you.
Allo allo one and all…pm reporting for duty here 🙂
I’m almost done with my paper rose….and I’m sorta sad but happy at the same time…..
Sounds like a good book to dip into….ooohhh..I’m so super addicted to reading now……I realized that from my stalker days till now..it’s almost 2 yrs….gosh….my taste has improved :p hahah
Shall give my 1cent when I’m done with this book…..
Cloud no more handicapped male books?
Tsk tsk PM… seems like everybody has misunderstood me. I am have big range of novels that I like okay! Not only handicapped male books 😛
I like the male lead in this novel. Although he was an asshole when they finally got married. He was so engrossed with his work that he has neglected his wife. 🙁
They can’t live peacefully but can’t stay apart. I also like the main guy in this novel but I don’t really like the girl. The epilogues are good and their child is super cuuuute.
