Forged by the fire of fanfiction, magic pregnancy trope doesn't faze me at all and the idea of wow couples having their own biological children is always fascinating. Needless to say, I was looking forward to read the story. Unfortunately, it's so, so disappointing. I had to skip/fast read some points just to finish it since I was already more than halfway through and just wanted to finish it. Plot wise, there's not much going on. Just them meeting up after their one night stand and getting together and having the kid.The novel is rife with red flags and if you can ignore them, probably you'd be enjoy it a lot more. Mostly the flags are flying from Shan Yi. So much of her personalities have toxic straight man vibes.It's not sweet when your partner would joke about hurting you if you ever decide to break up or leave. She's also pretty condescending to Shen Tiantian.It's surprising that Shan Yi supposedly has so many admirers considering what a jerk she is. But I suppose being beautiful and semi-competent at work (semi-competent because of how biased she is when it comes to her girlfriend at work later on) give her a lot of pass and Shen Tiantian is supposed to be grateful that this hot commodity chooses her or whatever. Excuse me while I vomit a little on the side.This novel is honestly just another spin on the old trope of hot, rich, jerk CEO who takes a fancy on a commoner and controls every aspect of her life and changes her for "the better" aka someone who he prefers/shapes/can control... but make it two women. At this point it's surprising that there's no point in the story where Shen Tiantian becomes like one of the heroines of the story who runs away to different companies/countries or whatever to give the CEO a wake up call. But then again, the CEO had tied her with a baby, didn't she?
