Just meh. Not great, but not the worst... hence the 3 star. There's not much romance really. Even the side characters have more spotlight than ML. ML is just an afterthought or as good as a tree in the background. Am not satisfied with the romance, no fluff, no sweetness... just bland.

Am surprised there doesn't seem to be many reviewers talking about the "g*ooming" like feeling in ML and FL relationship. FL is a 50+ year old lady soul in 20~ish yr old body in a relationship with a 19yr old ML. And this maturity of FL shows in everything she does and says. Infact she even sees ML as a kid in most times...I didn't get the peer vibes from her towards ML at all. Wouldn't it feel weird if the roles were reversed? If ML was this 50+ yr old dude pursuing a 19yr old FL?

TLDR: Don't read if you are looking for romance. Read if you just need a pass time or educate yourself on Chinese economy back in late 80s / early 90s.

I originally read this book on wattpad and was so sad when it wasn't being updated,  but I'm so glad I can read it here, but also sad that not all the chapters from wattpad have been posted.
