Description
Soft romantic lighting highlighted a bed engulfed by rose petals, yet the thing that truly took Qi Nian’s breath away was Ji Yanxin, who was kneeling on one knee in front of her. “S-Stand up and speak.” “Have you ever seen anyone standing when they propose?” Ji Yanxin clearly could not hold back his smile. “I, I’m not ready…” “I’m already five years older than you, so I’m prepared to wait an eternity until you are ready… You don’t need to worry about trivial matters like family responsibilities – the only person you’ll be responsible for is me… I’ll deal with any other complications if that puts you at ease… The only important thing… is that you are willing.” Blinking back the tears in her eyes, she, as if deliberating every word, slowly responded, “I do.” Because… I had already fallen in love with you at first sight. ~~~ “I Really Want To Be With You” is a light comedy novel. It tells the story of a female manhua artist who took the initiative to talk to the cold and distant professor to obtain inspiration, and lastly, takes a leap for love.

My Thoughts on I Really Want to Be With You
"I Really Want to Be With You" seemed like a lighthearted romance, and after diving in, that's mostly what I got. It's a completed story, which is always a plus for me, though the translation is still ongoing. The josei and mature tags definitely set my expectations, and I was curious to see how the "cold love interest" trope would play out.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were quite engaging, drawing me into the female lead's pursuit of her stoic target. The "love at first sight" element is definitely present, and the story immediately sets up the dynamic between our determined heroine and the seemingly unapproachable male lead. It felt like a cute story, with the promise of some dramatic and mature elements woven in.
What Works Well
I found myself appreciating the female lead's character. She's undeniably cute, but also possesses a quiet strength and impressive persistence. Her unwavering pursuit of the male lead is endearing, and it's satisfying to watch her slowly chip away at his icy exterior. The comedic moments sprinkled throughout the story helped to balance the mature themes and prevent the narrative from becoming too heavy. The slice-of-life aspects also added a layer of realism, grounding the romance in relatable everyday scenarios. I also appreciated that the story is being adapted to a drama, and that the two versions are different enough to make them both worth experiencing.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find myself slightly taken aback by the male lead's sudden change of heart. It felt a bit rushed, and I would have appreciated a more gradual development of his feelings for the female lead. While I wasn't expecting tons of exposition, I would have liked a little more insight into why he was so cold to begin with.
Final Verdict
Overall, "I Really Want to Be With You" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a cute and engaging romance with a determined female lead and a handsome, albeit initially cold, male lead. While the pacing of the male lead's change of heart felt a bit abrupt, the story's strengths outweigh its weaknesses. I would recommend it, especially if you enjoy josei romances with a touch of drama and comedy.
