## My Thoughts on Become Husband and Wife According To Pleasure "Become Husband and Wife According To Pleasure" promised a sweet romance with a touch of drama, and for the most part, it delivered. It's a complete novel, and while the translation is ongoing, I can see why so many readers were eager to jump in. ### First Impressions The initial setup is familiar: an arranged marriage between Su Qiuzi, a woman navigating a difficult family life, and He Yu, a seemingly perfect businessman. This Cinderella-esque premise initially drew me in, and I was curious to see how their relationship would unfold. I appreciated that the story didn't shy away from the practical aspects of their arrangement. ### What Works Well The strength of this novel lies in its character development, particularly the growth of the main couple. I found Su Qiuzi to be a relatable and resilient character, shaped by her past but determined to build a better future. Her emotional strength, her adaptability, and her generally positive outlook really resonated with me. He Yu, while seemingly perfect, also has his flaws, which makes him more human. I enjoyed watching them navigate their initial business arrangement and gradually develop genuine feelings for each other, learning to communicate and support one another along the way. I also appreciated the realistic pacing of their romance. It wasn't an instant, head-over-heels situation, but a slow burn that felt earned. The author did a great job of showing their relationship evolve over time, with both characters growing as individuals and as a couple. The story also tackled some heavier themes, such as family conflict and overcoming past trauma, which added depth and complexity. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the overall story, I can see why some readers found it emotionally dry or bland. The writing occasionally leans towards telling rather than showing, which can create a distance between the reader and the characters. Also, some characters felt underdeveloped, and their storylines were left unresolved, which was a bit disappointing. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers may find the male lead's actions later in the story problematic. Specifically, his withholding of information from the female lead regarding her mother was a point of contention for some. ### Final Verdict Despite some minor flaws, "Become Husband and Wife According To Pleasure" is a heartwarming and enjoyable read. If you're looking for a mature, character-driven romance with a touch of slice-of-life elements, this novel is definitely worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
