金丝雀宠主日常 [Daily Life of the Canary Pet Master] by 纯白蠢白

fast-paced

2.5

this honestly felt like a less polished speedrun of “my husband is suffering from a terminal illness.”

from the mc being a
transmigrator
with a hidden ability to heal the ml’s terminal ailment to the ml being a rich & cold-faced business tycoon who ends up being betrothed to them to the mc getting involved in show business & very quickly rising to the top
to a large focus on the use of weibo & social media opinion of the mc/ml together
to scheming family members & scheming entertainment industry members
etc. 
etc.

everything about it felt extraordinarily similar, except for the personality of the mc & the speed at which everything occurred. mhisfati definitely had more subplots & moments for the mc to shine as well as more moments for the mc/ml to more subtly build feelings for each other, while this was a much less convoluted plot that follows a basic three act structure where the characters fall for each other almost immediately, have one main conflict, & get it all very neatly tied together at the end with a relatively rushed happily ever after.

i was also personally really disappointed about the
transmigration twist
because i was looking forward to seeing more of 036’s past being revealed & the scientists getting their comeuppance as opposed to it being disregarded really early on & not really brought up much again.

however, overall, this was a super quick read that i could definitely see people enjoying, especially as a quick palette cleanser or if you’re looking for a storyline similar to mhisfati without as much outside plot going on (the main conflict here is entirely internal, as opposed to it being about outside scheming), more angst related to the whole hidden ability aspect, or if you were disappointed by the fact that there was
no true ability/transmigrator reveal
in mhisfati; you do get that here!
