After Breaking up With the Boyfriend I Secretly Loved
By 山海食梦
10 chapters
Description
After three years of being together, Zuo Li and her boyfriend Lin Zhiluo, whom she had secretly loved for seven years, broke up when his childhood sweetheart returned from abroad. Lin Zhiluo immediately broke up with her without any hesitation. Her three years of emotions felt like a joke. Can’t write synopsis (It’s bad): It’s essentially a story about closing off one’s heart and guarding oneself against love after a breakup but then facing the violent knocking of someone trying to break in. The male lead has been decided, but I won’t reveal who it is (I’m just a bit mischievous!) Okay, it’s pretty obvious, and I won’t say it, but everyone can probably guess OvO. It should be short, I’ll try to write as briefly as possible

My Thoughts on After Breaking up With the Boyfriend I Secretly Loved
"After Breaking up With the Boyfriend I Secretly Loved" promised a quick and easy read, and it largely delivered on that front. As someone who enjoys a good dose of romance with a touch of drama, I dove in hoping for an engaging story, and I came away with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial chapters grabbed my attention. The premise is relatable – unrequited love finally coming to an end, and the protagonist, Zhuo Li, making a clean break. I appreciated her decisiveness; she knew her worth and wasn't willing to be someone's second choice. That's always a plus in my book!
What Works Well
The dynamic between Zhuo Li and the male lead, Fu Yuan Xi, was definitely a highlight. While he initially comes across as a bit narcissistic, he softens into an almost puppy-like character as the story progresses. I found their interactions amusing and enjoyed watching their relationship develop at a believable pace. They didn’t immediately jump into bed or declare undying love, which felt refreshing. The story focused on building a connection and mutual respect, which I always appreciate. The author made the ML a green flag character that was considerate of the FL and her feelings.
Areas of Concern
Despite the enjoyable aspects, I did find myself wanting more depth. The story felt rushed at times, and I didn't get a strong sense of the characters' backgrounds. Fu Yuan Xi, in particular, remained somewhat mysterious, and I wished the author had fleshed out his life and motivations a bit more. The lack of detail made it difficult to fully invest in their relationship, even though I liked their interactions.

Final Verdict
Overall, "After Breaking up With the Boyfriend I Secretly Loved" is an enjoyable, albeit somewhat shallow, read. If you're looking for a quick and lighthearted romance with a strong female lead and a charming male lead, this might be right up your alley. Just don't expect a deeply developed plot or complex characters. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's a fun escape, but it left me wanting just a little bit more.
