Summary

Betrayed by her boyfriend, she's been dumped for the seventh time.

She grabs a man and elopes to see what it feels like to do the dumping. Worth it?

Totally!!!!!

He was supposed to have no house, no car, no money—a total no-frills package who instantly turns into a rich, handsome catch.

What the hell is going on?

Street racing, brawls, divorce drama—I'm Bai Muyao, the tomboy.

Cornering her against the wall, digging traps, scheming for love—he's Xu Haochen, the two-faced schemer.

When a quirky firecracker meets a fake gentleman, lightning strikes and sparks fly.

Yet the scatterbrained girl gets schemed into a lifetime commitment without even knowing it.

Outsmarting my mother-in-law, dueling with rivals, going head-to-head with my husband—I'm having endless fun.

But who'd have guessed my love rival would become my sister-in-law, and all hell breaks loose.

In front of outsiders, he loves me, protects me, lifts me to the top of his heart.

Night after night, only I know those are lies he tells the whole world.

Editor's review

"Only Doting on You (Mid)" is a fast-paced urban romance in which Ye Ye uses a light, humorous touch to build the dramatic tension of "marriage first, love later." Bai Muyao's "tomboy" persona contrasts sharply with Xu Haochen's "two-faced schemer" image. From elopement, street racing, and brawls to outsmarting her mother-in-law and dueling with rivals, the plot is dense and full of conflict—ideal for readers seeking reading pleasure and emotional release. The story's highlight lies in weaving marital gamesmanship, family relationships, and identity reversals into a light-comedy framework, drawing the heroine from her "scatterbrained" daily life gradually into the hero's schemes. It offers both the lively chaos of a household in an uproar and the gap between being "lifted to the top of his heart" before outsiders and the truth faced night after night. Don't overthink real-world logic while reading; it works best as entertainment for fragmented time like commutes or before bed, enjoying the banter and plot twists for their lightheartedness. If you prefer slow-burn, nuanced emotional development, adjust your expectations accordingly.

Reading tips

Read the first volume before starting the middle one to clarify the elopement setup and character relationships before following the plot
Treat the mother-in-law battles and rival showdowns as episodic fun; don't scrutinize real-world logic at every turn
Pay attention to the contrast between the hero's "public doting" and "private scheming" to savor the light-comedy narrative charm
Read in fragmented time on commutes or before bed, two or three chapters at a time to keep the rhythm

FAQ

Can I read the middle volume without having read the first?

You can, but the middle volume continues the elopement setup and character relationships from the first, so jumping straight in may leave you feeling unfamiliar with the backstory. It's best to read the first volume first or quickly skim a recap of the previous book to clarify the starting point of Bai Muyao and Xu Haochen's marriage, the main rivals, and the family conflicts; then the middle volume will read more smoothly.

Is the romance line on the sweet side or the angsty side?

Overall it's mainly light comedy and bickering daily life, with conflict coming mostly from the mother-in-law, rivals, and marital gamesmanship—lively and easy to read. But the synopsis points to the gap between the hero's "public doting" and "private truth," so the romance line carries some suspense and push-and-pull; it's not purely sweet and smooth, making it suitable for readers who like sweetness with a bit of commotion.

What kind of character is the heroine Bai Muyao?

Bai Muyao is a straightforward heroine who considers herself a "tomboy." After her seventh breakup, she impulsively elopes, is strong in action and sharp-tongued, and doesn't hold back when it comes to street racing, brawls, or divorce drama. She has endless fun outsmarting her mother-in-law and dueling with rivals, yet gets schemed into a lifetime commitment by the hero without even knowing it—her character combines comic appeal with resilience.

About the author

叶叶 Author

Ye Ye is a Chinese author writing in the field of modern romance. Publicly available information about her is limited: her nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not clearly recorded. Within the library's holdings, four works are attributed to her, all belonging to the same series, Du Chong (Exclusive Doting), namely the first, middle, and final volumes plus a collected three-volume edition. These titles and their category indicate that Ye Ye focuses on modern romance, developing emotional stories in serial long-form and centering on the doting relationship between the main characters; the volume-by-volume publication also lets readers follow the plot in stages. Because the available material reflects only her published works, the specific features of her style, her writing career, and her broader influence await further public information, and readers may begin with the Du Chong series to understand her narrative approach and thematic preferences.
