The Gold Master’s Development Plan

Fang Cheng’s father died in the line of duty in his previous life, and his mother fell seriously ill. To save her, he willingly sold his body and became a caged canary kept by the CEO. The CEO was gentle and fragile, making Fang Cheng fall helplessly deep into his emotions. When the contract expired, the two broke up. But on the fiftieth day after their separation, the CEO committed su*cide. The secretary said: “Someone told Mr. He, ‘Love has the power to destroy or save a person.'” “Mr. He wanted to test it.” “He had long stopped wanting to live.” “He had no interest in anything, could feel neither joy nor sorrow, neither satisfaction nor disappointment.” “He didn’t fall in love with you, so don’t be sad.” This so-called contractual romance was merely his last attempt at self-salvation. His tenderness toward Fang Cheng was nothing more than indifferent resignation after losing hope in the world. And Fang Cheng, left behind, didn’t even have the right to grieve. Fang Cheng was reborn. He used every means possible, throwing himself passionately toward He Qi. Transferring to his school, barging into his life, repaying all the gentleness and tolerance he had received from him in his past life a hundred—a thousand—times over. But the young He Qi was gloomy, silent, lifeless. – How can I keep you? – This time, will you love me? – Please, love me. He Qi’s eyes were truly beautiful – a green-tinged amber, like early autumn leaves encased in ice, clear and luminous. He was staring at Fang Cheng with those eyes, completely ignoring the other’s burning-red ears, and asked with utter seriousness: “Can we solve the ‘equation’ today?”

## My Thoughts on The Gold Master’s Development Plan "The Gold Master's Development Plan" certainly took me on a rollercoaster. With its blend of drama, fantasy, romance, and even a dash of school life, I was intrigued from the start. The tags warned of abusive characters and a fat protagonist, which hinted at a potentially heavy, but hopefully rewarding, story. ### First Impressions Initially, I was hooked by the premise of a protagonist determined to rescue a gloomy CEO from his negativity. The idea of a character working to pull someone out of darkness is always compelling, and this story seemed to promise that. I dove in expecting a sweet, albeit potentially angsty, tale of finding happiness. ### What Works Well I appreciate the novel's exploration of darker themes. The characters' internal struggles and moments of despair felt realistic, given their backstories. The author did a good job of portraying the MC and ML as flawed individuals grappling with their pasts. The relationships between the characters are well-developed, and I especially enjoyed the solidarity among the MC's friend group. The storyline is well-written and engaging, and the author does a good job of creating a world that is both believable and fantastical. ### Areas of Concern The story definitely delves into "dog blood" territory. While some might find the constant cycle of conflict and resolution exhausting, I found it added to the overall emotional impact. However, I can see how the numerous dramatic events, like family disapproval and external threats, could feel overwhelming at times. Also, the ending felt a bit rushed, leaving me wanting more closure on certain plot points and character arcs. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning (Proceed with caution if you haven't read the novel!) I did find the resolution involving Fang Cheng's past life being revealed through his mother's dream a bit convenient. While it served to expedite the acceptance of their relationship, it felt like a shortcut that detracted from the otherwise realistic portrayal of the characters' struggles. ### Final Verdict Overall, "The Gold Master's Development Plan" is a worthwhile read if you're prepared for a story filled with both sweetness and angst. While the plot can be a bit melodramatic at times, the compelling characters and their journey toward happiness make it a memorable experience. I'd recommend it to those who enjoy stories with darker themes and possessive leads, but be warned – you might need a box of tissues!
