Gentle to the Bone

Description
Shen Yansheng always thought that she didn’t like Lu Jingce until one day she heard that a certain group boss intended to marry his daughter to Lu Jingce. She was so angry that she couldn’t eat anything that night and locked herself in the room after returning home. When Lu Jingce came back in the evening, he took the key from the study, opened the door and entered her bedroom. He sat beside the bed, leaned over and kissed her to wake her from her sleep. She looked at him angrily, but he smiled happily and asked, “Jealous?” Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce have been falling in love all the time, mainly because she hadn’t figured out how to explain their relationship to her parents, which caused her parents to always think she was single, so they took the initiative to trick her into going on a blind date. But someone happened to have a dinner in that restaurant that day, and saw her and her blind date sitting at a table for dinner from a distance. She felt a gaze looking at her from behind, and when she turned her head, she met someone’s handsome face that was half-smiling. That night, as soon as Shen Yansheng came home, she threw herself on someone, raised her hand and swore, “I can explain it!” Someone still had that half-smile and pinched her cheek, “The explanation is invalid.”

My Thoughts on Gentle to the Bone
"Gentle to the Bone" promised a heartwarming story, and while it delivered in some aspects, it also presented a few elements that gave me pause. Overall, it's a decent read, but be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions and some potentially frustrating character dynamics.
First Impressions
Going in, I expected a sweet romance, and the initial chapters definitely leaned into that. The female lead, Shen Yansheng, immediately stood out as a kind and open-minded character. Her devotion to her family, especially her parents, is a central theme and undeniably pulls at the heartstrings.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its portrayal of familial love and the emotional depth of the female lead. Shen Yansheng's character is truly beautiful, and her journey of self-discovery and resilience is engaging. I also appreciated the author's writing style, which effectively conveyed the characters' emotions and made me invested in their well-being. The romance, while not overly fluffy, is sweet in its own way. The male lead is the typical cold, domineering president type, but he genuinely cares for Shen Yansheng. Their relationship starts off with a lot of friction, but it was nice to see them gradually work towards understanding each other better.
Areas of Concern
While the romance has its moments, the male lead's personality might not appeal to everyone. He is very much the "cold president" archetype, which can feel a bit overdone. Additionally, Shen Yansheng, while kind, can come across as overly delicate and dependent, which might frustrate some readers who prefer strong, independent female leads. Although she tries to be independent, she does fail at it.
Final Verdict
"Gentle to the Bone" is a mixed bag. It excels in depicting familial love and features a genuinely kind female lead. However, the male lead's typical "cold president" persona and the female lead's dependence might not resonate with all readers. If you're looking for a heartwarming story with a focus on family and are willing to overlook some potentially frustrating character traits, this might be worth a read. Otherwise, proceed with caution.
