Description

Ruan An An, who came from a family that had tens of billions worth in net value, returned to her alma mater to donate a building but fell in love with a college student there. The boy wore a brilliant white shirt. His figure was slender and tall. With black hair, light-colored pupils, and a beautiful jawline, he looked incredibly handsome. Ruan An An was dazzled by his charm when the two bumped into each other. The college student picked up the file Ruan An An had dropped on the ground and smiled: “Fellow student, watch your step.” His voice sounded as clear as spring water and the person was as handsome as jade. For the first time in her life, Ruan An An was in love. She created an opportunity for herself by changing her identity. As the story goes, a sweet girl with financial difficulty who constantly strived for self-improvement quickly fell in love with another poor yet handsome male college student. The two were in tune with each other in all aspects and got married in just half a year. Although they were hard-pressed for money even after marriage, it did not affect their relationship. On the night before their wedding anniversary, Ruan An An was dressed in one of her exquisite skirts at work, as usual, to attend a private meeting to meet the so-called behind-the-scenes major shareholder. “Ms. Ruan,” the secretary introduced: “This is Gu Jue, Mr. Gu.” Ruan An An stared at the man with whom she shared the same pillow in a 100 square meter apartment every night. He was impeccably attired, looking very sharp and honorable. …She almost broke her high heels. “An An,” He said as a warm smile melted into his face like snow: “Let us move to Lin Jiang Mansion, I have built a garden for you.” Ruan An An: “…” Damn you, the poor and handsome college student! It was all a set up!

Getting Outsmarted By The CEO Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on Getting Outsmarted By The CEO

"Getting Outsmarted By The CEO" promised a fluffy, comedic romance, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted read and found myself chuckling along with the characters' antics, especially the female lead's nickname for the male lead. This novel is a completed original, with an ongoing translation.

First Impressions

The initial chapters hooked me with the premise of two individuals from wealthy families pretending to be poor. The humor was on point, and I enjoyed watching their interactions unfold. It felt like a fun twist on the classic hidden identity trope. However, I immediately felt a sense of the story being a tad rushed and unrealistic.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. The author does a good job of creating comedic scenes that feel natural and relatable, especially within the context of university life. Many readers seemed to love the characters' personalities, describing them as likable and cute. The male lead's tendency to brag about the female lead was a consistent source of amusement, adding to the overall lighthearted feel. The story is easy to read and enjoy, which is perfect if you want something stress-free.

Areas of Concern

While the novel excels in fluff and humor, it does fall short in certain areas. Some found the plot to be illogical, with characters acting inconsistently with their supposed backgrounds and education. The speed at which the main characters fell in love and got married also felt rushed. I can see how some might find this unrealistic, especially when it comes to them lying about their true identities. I do feel that a lot of the side plots were brushed off and could have been written better.
