Description
At the age of 18, Yu Chi worked part-time on a film set while studying. During that time, he got involved with Sheng Li, a rising young starlet. Two months later, after filming wrapped up, Sheng Li patted his face and smiled, saying, “Let me introduce you to a manager. With your looks, you’re bound to become famous.” Yu Chi thought for a moment, then obediently nodded. “Okay.” Little did he know, this was Sheng Li’s way of giving him a breakup settlement. Later, Yu Chi finally rose to fame but carried a public secret with him: “I’ve been in a relationship before—when I was 18. It lasted two months. It was my first love, and I was the one who got dumped. If I ever get the chance, I want to win her back.” Fans: “Who is this mysterious first love? Who on earth had the audacity to dump him??” Rivals: “He’s really pulling out all the stops for fame, huh? What kind of ‘first love’ act is this? Let’s see when he trips up.” The short-sighted Sheng Li: “….” She watched as Yu Chi, now exuding icy aloofness, walked past her. Is this really how you pursue someone??? ________________________________________ Due to a movie project, the two were cast in the same production again. This time, Sheng Li was the female lead, and Yu Chi was the male lead. During their kissing scene, they went through over ten NGs, leaving Sheng Li flushed. Yu Chi sincerely apologized to the director: “Sorry, Director. I’ll make sure it passes next time.” Later, just before Sheng Li was about to film a kissing scene with the second male lead, Yu Chi passed by and leaned down to whisper in her ear: “Sister, if you NG more than three times, I’m coming to settle accounts with you tonight. The code is the same as back then, and you better not lock the door.” Sheng Li: “….” #Such a reckless code, yet unforgettable# From an extra to a top-tier actor, the darkened little wolf dog VS. the naturally seductive older sister celebrity.

My Thoughts on First Love Code
"First Love Code" promised a rollercoaster of emotions, and while it delivered in some respects, it also left me with a few reservations. This older woman/younger man romance definitely has its charms, but it's not without its complexities.
First Impressions
The premise is straightforward: a successful actress pursues a younger, aspiring actor. The initial hook is strong, with the "enemies to lovers" trope adding a layer of spice. I was immediately drawn in by the potential for comedic bickering and the promise of a caring protagonist.
What Works Well
The chemistry between the leads is undeniable. Their interactions are often hilarious, and the author does a good job of portraying the palpable tension between them. I appreciated the male lead's characterization; he's not just a cold, emotionless figure, but a "cute wolf cub" with genuine feelings. The female lead is assertive and knows what she wants, which I found refreshing. The plot progression kept me engaged, and I found myself rooting for them to overcome their challenges.
Areas of Concern
The age gap is definitely a central issue. While the author addresses it, some readers (myself included) might find the power dynamics uncomfortable. The female lead's initial pursuit of the male lead, while he was fresh out of high school, raises some eyebrows. I also felt that the relationship was somewhat unequal, with the male lead consistently making more sacrifices. There was a sense that the female lead's actions were sometimes selfish, and I wished to see more emotional vulnerability from her.

Final Verdict
"First Love Code" is an enjoyable read if you're willing to overlook its flaws. The age gap and power dynamics might be a turn-off for some, but the engaging plot and the chemistry between the leads make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it as a light, entertaining read with a healthy dose of romance and humor. Just be prepared to grapple with the complexities of its central relationship. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
