Bai Qi was going through the unluckiest period of time in his entire life.

His boyfriend married another person.

His boyfriend’s older brother came to him with a cheque book in hand. “I’ll give you fifty million…”

Alright, I understand. I should take this fifty million and leave your younger brother alone, am I right?

“I want to hire you to act as my companion for some time,” the older brother said.

“Huh???” Bai Qi asked.

“No kidding, I can be all things. All from a cute and pure white lotus to a flirtatious and calculative minx! I can even fake a pregnancy, an abortion, a break up and get into a quarrel with you! Please dear sir, do tell, which type would you require me to be?”

    This undeniably ranks among the top entertaining novels I've ever come across. Overflowing with lightheartedness, it stands out from others as it openly shares its characters' journey, including their marriage. The plot revolves around their quest for acceptance by fans and the protagonist's rise to fame, all while maintaining a humorous tone that consistently elicits laughter from me.

    This is an enchanting tale with a captivating plot. The protagonist, devastated by her unreliable partner, enters into a contractual marriage with her ex-boyfriend's older brother, a renowned celebrity. As the story unfolds, their backgrounds are revealed through the contract, and they巧妙地 address the challenges that arise. Simultaneously, genuine feelings develop between them, ensuring a pure love story without any dark undertones.

    What sets this apart is how the main character's (ML) public declaration of their marriage, despite its facade, demonstrates his understanding of the difficulties faced by celebrity partners. Initially hesitant, ML supports MC's schemes wholeheartedly, ultimately revealing his deep commitment. The narrative delves into profound questions about love, which might have been overwhelming for MC had ML not initiated the marriage proposal as a lifeline.

    In summary, this is a delightful and heartwarming read.

    It seems the reader is expressing disappointment with the main character (MC) in a story, describing them as overly powerful (Gary Stu) in an unsatisfactory manner. They usually don't mind a slightly idealized protagonist, but this MC's abilities, such as knowing trivial facts about fellow actors and causing sudden popularity for them, feel forced and uninteresting. The character's supposed rise to national prominence for superficial and nonsensical reasons is frustrating.

    The reader wishes for the MC to have some weaknesses or flaws, like being incompetent at cooking, to make them more relatable. Overall, they rate the story 2 out of 5 stars, acknowledging that the translation is good, though.

    A rephrased version in English would be:

    The reader expresses dissatisfaction with the主角, stating that their extreme prowess borders on being unrealistic (Gary Stu-like). While they generally tolerate a degree of idealism, the character's seemingly effortless knowledge of minor details about others, which can suddenly boost their popularity, feels contrived and lacks substance. The plot's reliance on the MC becoming a national figure for trivial reasons irks them, when similar feats in other stories would be grounded in something engaging or humorous.

    Moreover, the lack of any visible flaws in the MC's skillset, encompassing every aspect from sports to cooking, makes them unrelatable. The reader suggests that even a simple shortcoming, like poor culinary skills, could provide a much-needed balance.

    In conclusion, they give the story a rating of 2 out of 5, while complimenting the translation.

    "Adorable and endearing main character! I'm eagerly anticipating more content. The translation is solid, but it's divided into multiple shorter sections. I'm currently on chapter 34 of the translated version, but there should be fewer chapters in the original."

    The most adorable thing ever! The story delivers exactly what the summary promised: an obsessive ML, a scummy MC, intense ship dynamics, fan rivalries, and plenty of PDA during live broadcasts, along with the MC entertaining his fans. The narrative structure is straightforward, focusing on its strengths rather than trying to cover too much ground. The MC is portrayed as slightly overpowered or a Gary Stu, but it's due to his curiosity and past as a wealthy young master.

    While the MC's skills may not surpass professionals in every aspect, like his first acting performance, he isn't instantly perfect. They share many cute moments, like the ML's willingness to quit acting if it means MC can join, or adjusting schedules for couple variety shows to accommodate MC's studies. Both characters are committed to each other and support each other's growth.

    Their relationship is tested by differences in fame and resources, with the ML known more widely, leading to nicknames like wife and sister-in-law, while MC's friends and family affectionately refer to the ML. The ML is possessive but learns to manage his emotions, seeking professional help and becoming more secure after going public. The supporting characters bring humor to the story.

    Initially, there were concerns about the relationship in "Perfect Spouse," but these turned out to be unfounded. The discovery of a hidden NPC adds a charming touch, and the characters' reactions to their growing bond are heartwarming.

    The fans' journey from skepticism to admiration for the MC-ML couple is a fun arc, culminating in creating a fan group to protect Qiqi from being swooped up by others. Their union solidifies their status as an official couple, setting them apart from other speculative pairings.

    What I appreciate about this novel is the sense of "being there" with the characters, who start from humble beginnings and steadily progress. It evokes the bittersweet feeling of life's fleeting nature and the uncertainty of the future, yet offers satisfying resolutions, a hallmark of web novels. As readers, we grow alongside MC and ML, uncertain of what lies ahead but enjoying the journey together. Despite the characters' flaws and challenges, they continue to live their lives authentically.

    It's genuinely delightful; there's no trace of angst, and it's quite amusing too. It's a great choice for a light and enjoyable read.

    The text describes a light and heartwarming story with a focus on adorable characters and a carefree vibe. It's an enjoyable, stress-relieving read, perfect for some leisure time when you want something cute and fluffy without any intense emotional drama. The author highly recommends it for that purpose.

    However, they express a desire for a more satisfying conclusion. Lastly, the writer finds the translation, even by machine, quite comprehensible, adding a lighthearted note.

    I appreciate stories with overpowered (OP) protagonists and those with complex characters like the black-bellied type. However, this particular narrative has lost its appeal for me. The protagonist's overwhelming power feels excessive, almost out of touch with reality, as it often places him on a pedestal, which doesn't resonate with my enjoyment of the story. Initially, it was engaging, but now it feels formulaic and lacking depth. If you're looking for a light, comforting read, this might still be worth a try, but it's not what I find appealing anymore.
