You Treat Me As If I Have A Sickness

My Thoughts on You Treat Me As If I Have A Sickness

"You Treat Me As If I Have A Sickness" is a completed romance novel with a fantasy twist that I recently dove into, and it was quite the ride. The premise, a transmigration story with a "marriage first, love later" trope, immediately grabbed my attention. However, my experience was a bit of a mixed bag, landing somewhere between heartwarming and head-scratching.

First Impressions

The initial setup is intriguing: a female orphan, disguised as a eunuch in ancient China, finds herself in the modern world. I was eager to see how she'd adapt and navigate this new reality, especially within the confines of a pre-arranged marriage. The male lead, portrayed initially as mature and calm, promised an interesting dynamic.

What Works Well

The core of the novel, the romance, is undeniably cute. I enjoyed watching the relationship between the leads blossom, witnessing their awkwardness transition into genuine affection. The male lead's character development, specifically the peeling away of his "cool" facade to reveal a more playful and even slightly perverted side, was endearing. I also appreciated the author's attempt to weave in life lessons about communication and personal growth. The story shines in its portrayal of a couple who understand each other deeply and share similar values, making them a compelling "power couple." The way the male lead woos the female lead, with some successful and unsuccessful attempts, is also very entertaining.

Areas of Concern

While the romance is sweet, I did find myself questioning some of the plot's logic. The female lead's seemingly instant mastery of modern technology and customs felt a bit too convenient. Her lack of surprise at modern appliances and her ability to learn everything so quickly stretched my suspension of disbelief. Additionally, the initial premise of the female lead's past life as a eunuch felt somewhat underutilized, becoming more of a convenient backstory element than an integral part of the plot.

Final Verdict

Overall, "You Treat Me As If I Have A Sickness" is a light-hearted read that offers a dose of sweet romance and character development. While the plot may have its inconsistencies and the initial setup might not be fully explored, the core relationship between the leads is engaging enough to keep you invested. If you're looking for a feel-good story with a mature and realistic romance, this novel might be worth a try, just be prepared to overlook some of the more unbelievable elements.
