Description
Gu Yanshu and Shen Jue had been at odds when they debuted in a teenage boy band. After surviving the lashing out from the whole Internet, the boy band disbanded and they two both went solo. One became a top-notch singer, the other became the film emperor, and they hadn’t been in the same picture for five whole years.

My Thoughts on Just Want to Be His Lover
Just Want to Be His Lover promised a fluffy romance with a side of angst, and for the most part, it delivered. The story centers around Gu Yanshu, a seemingly cold singer, and Shen Jue, a doting and successful actor, as they navigate a past riddled with misunderstandings. After diving in, I found myself invested in their journey of rediscovery and reconciliation.
First Impressions
The premise is fairly straightforward: two men, separated by circumstance and miscommunication, are thrown back together on a variety show. The initial dynamic is compelling, with Yanshu's frosty exterior clashing against Jue's relentless pursuit. It had a certain charm that immediately drew me in.
What Works Well
The characterizations are definitely a strong point. Yanshu's tsundere tendencies, while sometimes bordering on frustrating, are understandable given his backstory. Jue's unwavering devotion and caring nature really shines through, making him an incredibly likable character. The story does a good job of portraying how their past affects their present actions, and the gradual unraveling of their misunderstandings is satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the "entertainment au" aspect, with fan reactions adding a fun layer to the narrative. The author does a good job of balancing the comedic moments with the underlying melancholic tones, especially when exploring their shared history.
Areas of Concern
While I generally enjoyed the story, I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed. I would have loved to see more of Yanshu and Jue as an established couple, enjoying the peace they both longed for. The resolution of their central conflict felt a tad abrupt, leaving me wanting more. Also, while Yanshu's tsundere nature is part of his charm, there were times when it felt a bit overdone, making it harder to sympathize with him.

Final Verdict
Overall, Just Want to Be His Lover is an enjoyable read with well-developed characters and a satisfying (though somewhat rushed) happy ending. If you're looking for a relatively short and sweet romance with a touch of angst and a doting love interest, this novel is worth checking out. I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
