Description
【1V1 + Sweet Romance + Childhood Friends to Lovers + Age Gap + Soulmates + Happy Ending】 In Jing City, the Shen family had three sons in a row before finally welcoming a little girl. As the only daughter, she was pampered like a princess from a young age. Before the little girl turned ten, wherever she went, the young master of the Shi family could always be seen following her. Sometimes, he even carried her in his arms. After she turned ten, whenever the Shi family’s young master attended a meal, she was always seated at the head of the table, with him attentively serving her food and pouring her water. Everyone in their social circle gossiped that the Shi family’s young master only treated her like a little sister—until a certain photo surfaced online. The photo showed the girl, wearing a crown on her head, pinning someone against the wall for a kiss. Her jade-like toes stepped on the man’s expensive leather shoes, while the man held her waist with one hand and adjusted the crown on her head with the other. Upon closer inspection, the man turned out to be none other than the Shi family’s young master, who had since become the head of the Shi Group. In an instant, two long-standing rumors in Jing City were debunked. First, the Shen family’s mysterious young lady, who had never been seen in public, was not someone to be hidden out of shame—she was a precious gem being carefully guarded. Second, the Shi family’s new leader, known for his lack of interest in women, wasn’t indifferent to romance—he was simply waiting for his little girl to grow up. As an adult, the little girl finally told him, “I never saw you as a brother.” What she didn’t know was that he, too, had never seen her as a sister. Later, people noticed that both of them wore matching Bodhi bead bracelets. Upon closer inspection, however, the beads were slightly different. In Jing City, it was said that the Bodhi bracelets from Xiangshan Temple with 18 beads were considered auspicious. However, if one bracelet had 19 beads and the other 17, blessed together at the temple, it was a sign of someone willing to shield the other from harm. His bracelet had 19 beads. He said, “If the gods won’t protect her, then I will shield her myself.”

My Thoughts on Tang is my Obsession
"Tang is my Obsession" is a web novel that left me with a serious case of mixed feelings. It's a sugary sweet romance with a surprising twist, but it also has some significant flaws that kept me from completely falling in love with it. While I enjoyed certain aspects, I definitely think potential readers should go in with their eyes wide open.
First Impressions
Going into this, I was expecting a possessive, perhaps even slightly unhinged male lead, given the title. What I found was… not that at all. Instead, I was presented with a story that felt more like a doting father-daughter relationship than a romance between equals, at least in the beginning. It definitely wasn’t what I anticipated.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of "Tang is my Obsession" is undoubtedly the male lead, Shi Chengyu. He's a breath of fresh air in a genre often plagued by toxic masculinity. He's kind, supportive, and genuinely devoted to Shen Chutang, the female lead. He respects her boundaries, spoils her without being controlling, and isn't afraid to show his emotions. In a world of overbearing CEOs, Shi Chengyu is a genuinely good guy, and that's incredibly appealing. I found myself rooting for him constantly. The devotion and care he has for the female lead is the main appeal of the novel, and the only reason to read it.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the female lead, Shen Chutang, is where things get a bit shaky. She's portrayed as emotionally weak and overly dependent on Shi Chengyu. Her childish behavior, even at 23, can be frustrating. While she's not a bad person, her lack of emotional maturity makes it difficult to see her as a true partner for Shi Chengyu. The pacing is also an issue. The first half felt slow and uneventful, focusing on the day-to-day life of a pampered princess. Then, suddenly, a major tragedy occurs, shifting the story into high gear. However, the ending feels rushed, leaving me wanting more emotional depth and resolution.

Final Verdict
"Tang is my Obsession" is a mixed bag. Shi Chengyu is a fantastic male lead, and his devotion is heartwarming. However, the weak female lead and uneven pacing hold the story back. If you're looking for a sweet romance with a genuinely kind male lead, this might be worth a read. Just be prepared for some frustration along the way.
