Description
By a stroke of fate, Bai Tao “travels” five years into the future and discovers she is married to her cold and distant nemesis, Pei Shi! She opens her phone to find the news flooded with stories about their loving relationship— “Pei Shi, head of the Pei family, humbly pursued love, finally winning over the beauty after being rejected thirty times.” “Pei Shi personally planted peach trees just to make his sweet wife smile.” “Pei Shi’s five-year secret crush and persistent pursuit finally bear fruit.” … That night, Bai Tao read all the online reports, moved to tears. Who could have imagined that the high-and-mighty Pei Shi had secretly been crazily in love with her! Considering Pei Shi’s family background, looks, body, and his deep love for her, Bai Tao decides to let bygones be bygones and live well with Pei Shi. However… Every time she looks at Pei Shi with deep affection, why does Pei Shi look at her so strangely? Half a year later, Bai Tao finally learns the truth— First, she and Pei Shi are in a contract marriage with no real feelings involved. Second, all those touching stories about Pei Shi’s devotion were fabricated by herself to save face. Third, the contract marriage is about to expire, and they are supposed to get divorced. She made a fool of herself and created a huge misunderstanding. Furious, Bai Tao goes to Pei Shi for a divorce, only to be coldly rejected. “Pei Shi, are you even a man? If you have guts, go divorce me!” Pei Shi, with a bland tone, replies, “Don’t you know best if I’m a man? As for having guts, of course, I do.” He glances at Bai Tao’s slightly rounded belly, “Isn’t it right there inside you?” #tr*sh Pei Shi, cunning and deceitful, ruined my youth# A cold and aloof young master with a hidden side X an overthinking drama queen Marriage first, love later, domineering CEO, melodrama PS: No fantasy elements, not a real time-travel story, traditional urban setting.____Based on the context, the title “白桃乌龙” can be translated to: “White Peach’s Great Fiasco” or “Bai Tao’s Big Blunder” The title suggests that the protagonist, Bai Tao (白桃), has gotten herself into a messy situation, which is reflected in the synopsis where she discovers that her marriage to Pei Shi is a contractual agreement and that she has been fooled by her own writings. The term “乌龙” (wū lóng) specifically implies a big mistake or a blunder, which fits well with the plot twist in the story. The term “乌龙” also means Oolong (tea). In slang, “tea” is a term used to refer to gossip or inside information.

My Thoughts on White Peach Oolong
"White Peach Oolong" promised a light-hearted escape, and for a while, it delivered. The premise, a marriage of convenience with a side of amnesia, had me intrigued from the start, and I dove in hoping for a fun, fluffy read. While the novel certainly has its charms, I found myself experiencing a bit of a rollercoaster ride in terms of enjoyment.
First Impressions
The opening chapters were definitely the strongest. The female lead is unapologetically herself, a trait I always appreciate. Her inner monologues and actions had me chuckling, and I was genuinely invested in seeing how her relationship with the male lead would develop, especially given the amnesia twist.
What Works Well
The humor is undoubtedly a major draw. The author clearly knows how to write comedic situations, and the FL's… unique perspective on the world leads to some truly laugh-out-loud moments. The bickering between the leads is well-done, and the initial stages of their relationship are entertaining. I also liked the modern-day setting, which allowed for relatable scenarios and added a layer of freshness to the familiar amnesia trope. The author's ability to create a lighthearted atmosphere is undeniable, and for a while, it kept me hooked.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, my enjoyment waned as the story progressed. I felt that the plot became muddled and less focused, and the characters, while initially charming, started to feel a bit one-dimensional. While the beginning was enjoyable and funny, I found myself losing interest as the story went on.
Final Verdict
"White Peach Oolong" is a mixed bag. It starts strong with its humor and engaging female lead, but I feel it loses its way later on. If you're looking for a light, fluffy read with plenty of laughs, especially early on, this might be worth checking out. However, be prepared for a potential dip in quality as the story progresses. I'd say it's a solid 3 out of 5 stars – enjoyable in parts, but ultimately not a complete knockout.
