Years later, the two meet again after a long separation. Heaven spares no one—Zhou Xingyan has completely forgotten about her. 2. Xiang Ge loves eating junk food, but as someone who follows a healthy lifestyle, Zhou Xingyan has always forbidden her from indulging. One night, they get into an argument over ordering fried chicken delivery. With his long eyelashes lowered, Zhou Xingyan’s tone turns slightly stern: “If you really want to make me angry, go ahead and order it.” Hearing this, Xiang Ge’s face lights up with delight, and without hesitation, she immediately pulls out her phone, opens the app, and quickly places the order. A crisp “ding-dong” sound echoes through the living room as the payment is completed. Zhou Xingyan: “….” Spoiled and flirtatious troublemaker x Pseudo-righteous, untouchable flower “At the sight of you…” —I want to perform a Thomas full twist with a sideways rotation followed by three-and-a-half spins, then a 720-degree somersault split leap just to kiss you. *The title is inspired by A-Mei’s song “Whenever I Think of You.” Content Tags: Urban romance, elite professionals

## My Thoughts on As Soon As I Saw You "As Soon As I Saw You" is a novel that really surprised me. Going in, I expected a fairly standard romance, but what I found was a story with unexpected depth and a whole lot of heart. It's the kind of read that sticks with you, and I'm eager to share my thoughts. ### First Impressions The synopsis and tags gave me a certain expectation – the cold male lead, the female lead who falls first, the reunion after a past incident. It felt like familiar territory, but I was quickly drawn in by the writing style. There's a certain simplicity and coherence that elevated the story above many others I've read. ### What Works Well The dynamic between the leads is definitely a highlight. Their bickering is hilarious, but beneath the surface lies a strong connection. The male lead, Zhou Xingyan, is a total green flag – supportive, steady, and just what the female lead needs. I especially appreciated how the author handled the female lead's backstory, particularly her relationship with her father and the domestic violence she endured. The novel doesn't shy away from the complexities of forgiveness and healing, portraying it in a realistic and moving way. It really resonated with me and added a layer of emotional depth that I wasn't expecting. The pacing of the story is also well-managed, keeping me engaged and invested in the characters' journey. ### Areas of Concern While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I did have a couple of minor issues. At times, the female lead's actions felt a bit self-absorbed, and I wished she had been more open and understanding towards the male lead. I also noticed some inconsistencies in the translation of character names, which caused some confusion at first. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning The following contains spoilers about the female lead's past. The female lead's relationship with her father and her struggles with the trauma of domestic violence are central to her character arc. This is a key element of the story, so if you'd prefer to experience it without prior knowledge, skip this section. ### Final Verdict Despite a few minor flaws, "As Soon As I Saw You" is a hidden gem that deserves more attention. It's a compelling blend of humor, romance, and emotional depth that will leave you feeling satisfied. I highly recommend giving it a read if you're looking for a story that will make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even shed a few tears. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
