He’s So Stingy

Two years ago, for one million, I “sold” myself to Huo Yuchuan. As the contract neared its end, that night, I poked at the rice in my bowl and dutifully told him that I would be moving out next week. Huo Yuchuan didn’t say anything. After finishing his meal, he asked me to weigh myself. I had gained eight pounds since two years ago. He said he couldn’t afford to lose money and demanded that I return those eight pounds to him. I had never met such a miser. Huo Yuchuan x Lin Miao

## My Thoughts on He’s So Stingy ### First Impressions Okay, so "He's So Stingy" definitely grabbed my attention with its unusual premise. The tags pretty much scream "fluffy romance," and the setup – an apathetic protagonist getting paid to sleep next to his wealthy friend – is undeniably intriguing. I went in expecting a lighthearted and possibly silly read, and honestly, that's pretty much what I got. ### What Works Well The cuteness factor is definitely high with this one. The MC is so adorably naive that I couldn’t help but root for him. The plot is fairly straightforward and doesn't get bogged down in unnecessary drama, which is a huge plus for me sometimes. It’s nice to read a story that doesn’t rely on constant conflict or angst to keep you hooked. I especially appreciated how quickly the MC comes to terms with his feelings after the ML's confession. There's no drawn-out denial or unnecessary misunderstandings, which I found refreshing. The story allows you to simply enjoy the budding romance without all the typical roadblocks. This is the kind of novel you pick up when you want something sweet, uncomplicated, and easy to enjoy. ### Areas of Concern While the simplicity is a strength, it could also be a drawback for some readers. If you're looking for a complex plot with deep character development, this might not be your cup of tea. The focus is definitely on the romance and the fluffy interactions between the main characters, so don't expect a lot of world-building or intricate storylines. I think it would have been interesting to see more exploration of the "stingy" aspect hinted at in the title. ### Final Verdict Overall, I found "He's So Stingy" to be a charming and enjoyable read. It's a perfect choice if you're in the mood for a lighthearted, fluffy romance with a healthy dose of sweetness. While it might not be the most groundbreaking novel, it delivers exactly what it promises: a cute and uncomplicated love story that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a feel-good read without a lot of heavy plot or angst.
