Summary

He Yirong had always been rumored to be an illegitimate daughter. Taken home at thirteen, she was left to fend for herself until her brother dumped her on their neighbor Nie Zhen.

The gloomy youth had been handed a hot potato—luckily, He Yirong was obedient and sensible.

But no one expected that once Nie Zhen took her on, he would end up managing He Yirong for the rest of her life.

He taught her math, taught her to swim, taught her to kiss, taught her to bed, taught her to become his beloved.

Everyone said Nie Zhen had abused his guardianship—but Nie Zhen wanted to say, clearly it was He Yirong who stole his heart first.

Editor's review

This is a romance novel that begins with a "neighbor as guardian" relationship. After He Yirong is brought home at thirteen with no one to care for her, her older brother dumps her on the neighbor Nie Zhen. The gloomy youth takes on this "hot potato" and ends up looking after her for a lifetime: teaching her math, teaching her to swim, and also teaching her to kiss and be intimate, until he finally makes her his sweetheart. The tension comes from two layers of setup: first, the mismatch between outside gossip about "the guardian stealing the ward" and Nie Zhen's internal defense that "she was the one who stole my heart first"; second, the long process from guardianship and care to emotional boundary-crossing, carrying the typical sweet-and-angst rhythm of a "raising" narrative. As the second book in the series, it suits readers already familiar with the previous book's character relationships and style. The reading experience leans toward emotional push-and-pull and everyday detail, suitable for continuous reading before bed or during commutes; those expecting rigorous social realism or a complex ensemble cast may find it not to their taste.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Romance readers who enjoy "raising" and neighbor-guardian setups
Web-fiction readers who prefer a sweet-and-angst mix and emotional push-and-pull
Readers who have read the previous book in the series and want to follow the character relationships further
Readers looking for easy continuous reading, suitable for commuting or bedtime entertainment

Not a good fit for

Readers sensitive to guardian relationships involving minors and emotional boundary-crossing
Readers who prefer rigorous social realism or complex ensemble narratives
Readers who do not accept the "raising" romance framework and seek equal adult relationships

Reading tips

First confirm whether you have read the previous book; understanding the characters' backstory before reading helps you better grasp where the relationship starts.
Read everyday passages such as "teaching math and teaching swimming" as markers of the relationship's changes, and pay attention to the emotional progression.
If the guardian and emotional boundary-crossing setup makes you uncomfortable, you can decide early whether to continue; there is no need to force yourself to finish.
Suitable for continuous reading, but pacing yourself is recommended to avoid staying up too late from the sweet-and-angst push-and-pull.

FAQ

Can I read this directly without having read the first book?

This is the second book in the series, and the main character relationships are connected to the previous book. You can follow the main plot by reading it directly, but some backstory and character motivations may not be clear enough; it is recommended to read the previous book first or at least understand the prior context.

What is the core appeal of the story?

The core appeal is the process of Nie Zhen taking over caring for He Yirong, teaching her math, swimming, and even intimacy, and ultimately becoming her sweetheart, as well as the mismatch between outside gossip about "the guardian stealing the ward" and his claim that "she was the one who stole my heart first."

What time is it suitable for reading?

It leans toward everyday detail and emotional push-and-pull, and its pace suits continuous reading in fragmented time such as commutes or before bed. If you tend to get immersed, it is recommended to set a fixed reading time to avoid sweet-and-angst plot affecting your sleep schedule.

About the author

Jiwang is a contemporary romance author about whom little public information is currently available; her real name, nationality, and dates of birth and death have not been clearly recorded. The library holds two of her works, "Que You Qing" and its sequel "Que You Qing 2," both categorized as modern romance, which indicates a sustained focus on this genre. Based on the available information, Jiwang's writing centers on modern urban emotional relationships and unfolds its stories in a serialized manner; the appearance of a sequel suggests that the first work has a certain readership base and value for continuation. Because background materials such as biographical details and author statements are lacking, it is not yet possible to make a more specific judgment about her writing style, narrative techniques, or literary influence, nor to confirm her educational background, creative experience, or the evaluations she has received. Readers who wish to learn about this author may begin with these two modern romance works and experience her character portrayal and emotional description through the texts themselves. Public information is limited; the above introduction is based only on facts in the library and may be improved if new materials become available.
