Description

Once a proud deity conceives a child with a mortal, they will automatically erase all memories related to that mortal. Thus, the empty-headed and faintly magical tea deity, Bai Qingyu, faces his son’s question: “Dad, do I have a mom?” Bai Qingyu scratches his cheek: I don’t know. It is said that the education in the city is better. In order to provide his son with a better education, Bai Qingyu decides to follow the example of the bricklayer next door and take his son to the city to work. A kind person introduces him to a job as a housekeeper in a mansion, with a good salary and the ability to bring his son along. It’s just that the male owner has a bad temper, is picky, and is difficult to serve. * After falling off a cliff and losing his memory three years ago, He Renyuan’s temperament changed drastically, becoming easily angered. The new housekeeper, with an honest face, hangs diapers on his balcony, turns the garden into a vegetable patch, and even raises chickens… He Renyuan throws a tantrum every day. Others in the mansion are trembling, waiting for Bai Qingyu to be fired. Three months later… He Renyuan attends a parent-teacher meeting for the housekeeper’s son. After returning from the parent-teacher meeting, He Renyuan falls into deep thought. Why does everyone think this is his biological child? * He Renyuan loves to drink tea, and Bai Qingyu is full of tea-like charm. After he swims in the pool, He Renyuan swims in it three times a day! Bai Qingyu: I’m really good tea! He Renyuan: “…”

My Thoughts on A Gorgeous Man Takes His Son to the City to Work

First Impressions

"A Gorgeous Man Takes His Son to the City to Work" immediately grabbed my attention with its quirky title and intriguing premise. A tea tree deity, amnesia, a surprise son, and a handsome, wealthy lawyer all thrown into the mix? I was definitely curious! The blend of comedy, fantasy, and slice-of-life elements promised a lighthearted and engaging read.

What Works Well

The heart of this story, without a doubt, is the adorable baby. The reviewers were absolutely right; the child is precious! I loved that the baby acts like an actual baby, with his own little quirks and love for free things. It's refreshing to see such a well-portrayed child character. Beyond the cuteness, I found myself invested in the flawed characters of the MC and ML. Their amnesia adds a unique layer to their relationship, making their interactions both funny and heartwarming. The ML's devotion to the MC and their son is also a major plus. I really enjoyed seeing him try to navigate this new family dynamic, especially with the comedic elements sprinkled throughout. The author does a great job of balancing the lighthearted moments with genuine emotional connection.

Areas of Concern

While I found much to enjoy, I do have some reservations. I have to agree that the ML's behavior can sometimes cross the line. The forceful kisses and pushiness, especially early on in the relationship, made me uncomfortable. It felt out of character with his initial portrayal and created a sense of unease. Additionally, the lack of consequences for the housekeepers hiding the baby felt like a missed opportunity for character development and conflict resolution.

Despite some problematic elements, "A Gorgeous Man Takes His Son to the City to Work" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of BL novels with a focus on found family and heartwarming moments. The adorable baby, the unique premise, and the flawed but ultimately loving characters make it a worthwhile experience. Just be aware of the ML's pushy behavior and some plot points that might feel unresolved. Overall, I'd recommend it to readers looking for a lighthearted and comedic story with a touch of fantasy.
