Description
Tang Shumi and Ji Linchen had been engaged for two years without any sign of marriage. Tang Shumi became the laughing stock of socialites circles and the abandoned woman of a wealthy family. When everybody mocked Tang Shumi as to exactly when she would become Madam Ji– Ji Linchen tops Forbes’ list of Asia’s wealthiest individuals. The interviewer questioned, “As the youngest billionaire on the list, have you ever encountered a problem you couldn’t solve with money?” The usually cold and aristocratic man looked at the camera, eyebrows raised. With a subtle smile that did not reach his eyes, he briskly replied, “My fiancee refuses to marry me, does that count?” Shumi sat in front of the TV, waving the postnuptial property agreement her assistant had just sent in her hands, a look of greed on her face, “Marry! Immediately, straight away!”

My Thoughts on Did President Ji Urge for Marriage Today?
"Did President Ji Urge for Marriage Today?" promised a fluffy, modern romance, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted read, and while there were a few bumps along the way, I ultimately found it enjoyable enough.
First Impressions
The initial chapters set up a familiar but intriguing premise: a fake engagement between two wealthy individuals. The female lead (FL) seemed to revel in her "abandoned woman" lifestyle, while the male lead (ML) viewed her as superficial. This dynamic, while a bit cliché, had potential for some entertaining bickering. I was definitely curious to see how these two would eventually find common ground.
What Works Well
Many readers, including myself, appreciated the "enemies to lovers" trope. The slow burn as the FL and ML gradually warmed up to each other was well-executed. I particularly liked that the story delved into their individual traumas. The ML's difficult past as an illegitimate child and the FL's fear of marriage due to her father's infidelity added depth to their characters and made their eventual connection feel more meaningful. The subtle steam was well done, and the ending was satisfying.
Areas of Concern
The middle portion of the story seemed to introduce unnecessary drama, which, while common in Chinese romance novels, felt a bit jarring. Also, the ML's sudden affection for the FL felt somewhat unearned. The characters' extreme wealth, while a key element of the story, made them less relatable. The ending for the child was not the best, either, with the FL not demonstrating love for her child.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Did President Ji Urge for Marriage Today?" is a decent read if you're looking for a light and fluffy romance with a touch of drama. While it has its flaws, the enjoyable characters and satisfying ending make it a worthwhile escape. Just be prepared for some over-the-top wealth and a few plot contrivances along the way.
