Summary from Wattpad:

The wealthy daughter Sang Lanlan suddenly fell into the water in a shipwreck and woke up to find herself lying on the beach. The one who rescued her was a slender and handsome young man.

Sang Lanlan felt that the savior was too weak, so she consciously shouldered the task of caring for the teenager, and took all kinds of crabs, small fishes and shrimps every day to catch all kinds of crabs, small fish and shrimps to feed the teenagers, and even wanted to be her father. As a result, I don't know from which day, various marine creatures lined up to find the door.

In the beginning, it was sea prawns, sea crabs and abalones. Sang Lanlan could barely bear it, but when the dolphins and sharks came to the door with tears, Sang Lanlan realized that things were not simple.

-

Sang Lanlan, the eldest lady of the Sang Group, was in a shipwreck. Everyone thought she had died nine times, but they didn't expect that Sang Lanlan returned unscathed after more than a month. And also brought back a teenager.

The teenager was fair and clear, and looked gentle and harmless.

*The initial.

Sang Lanlan's half-sister: "I want everything that belongs to my sister, such as this little brother, I like it very much."

Sang Lanlan's suitors: "Where is the stinky boy? The reason for coming first?"

*Later.

Everyone: "...Daddy forgive me !" 

Sang Lanlan smiled: "I told you not to mess with my killer whale father, he is the overlord of the sea!" 

The teenager: "Are you sure I am just the overlord of the sea?"

Sang Lan Lan: "...QAQ"

Harmless in appearance, but cruel. 

The overlord of the sea VS the eldest lady who tried to be the father of the overlord of the sea but accidentally became the favorite of the sea.

4.5 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was so sweet and funny! I loved the role reversals. Sang Lanlan knew what she wanted, and she was decisive and deliberate on how to get everything while Sang Zui supported her every step of the way. 

I loved how confident and supportive they both were and how the book didn't focus on the romance for a long time because 1) they had other issues to deal with like school and terrible families, 2) the tacit trust and companionship they had was more important, and 3) because Sang Zui is a blockhead and ignorant about romance lmao. 

I also really loved their found family. I can't believe I started this book on a whim because I was hooked by the orca in the summary lol. I couldn't find this book on NovelUpdates, so I read the MTL on Wattpad. You know a book's funny if even translates well with MTL, and I was chuckling at the end of almost every chapter lol. This book is definitely worth a read if you want something light, sweet, and quirky.

Summary from Novel Updates:

Chu Chu suddenly transmigrated as the vicious female president in the book. The original owner wasn’t only obsessed with the male lead, but also hurt the female lead.

Finally she ended up having a Bad Ending. Her family business went bankrupt and she got disfigured.

On the first day she transmigrated into the book, she opened the wardrobe full of luxury goods and had a feeling of a poor citizen becoming rich overnight.

Chu Chu: Are you kidding me? Does a wealthy president not like the tasty food in Michelin restaurants or feel that Chanel is not good looking?
Chu Chu: Let’s go bankrupt!!
She just wanted to feel the domineering life of a female president, but accidentally she set the professional benchmark for strong women.

Original female lead: My goal is to become an independent woman like President Chu! Love delayed my journey to get rich!
Original male lead: ??

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was hilarious! I laughed in almost every chapter because of Chu Chu's shamelessness and overconfidence! She's got a poisonous tongue that can also brainwash you, and she's not afraid to use it! I love how she always does things her own way and everyone just gets sucked along with her flow. She's caustic and inspirational even when she's bullshitting lmao. 

The romance was cute and funny. Poor Zhang Zhang kept on getting KO'd by her unexpected critical hits lol. The romance was gradual and naturally showed their progress from friends to lovers, and I loved how Zhang Zhang gradually changed his ideals and self-deprecating thinking after being inspired by Chu Chu. 

Her family antics are also pretty funny. Her relationship with her stepmother is pretty entertaining lol.

Summary from Novel Updates:

Xia Zhijun got the title ‘study god’ after scoring first place in the whole city. He’s the model of a good student in a teacher’s eyes: good grades, good manners, and quiet. When he wasn’t smiling, his entire body emits a cold abstinence aura. The girls only have the guts to look from afar and not get close.

Later, it was rumored throughout the entire school that even the study god would fight and hit on girls. Whoever dared to provoke his girl, he would teach you how to be a person at every minute. The night of the graduation ceremony someone saw him blocking Gu Siyi in the corner. He didn’t stop kissing even when she cried. He bit her lips and said in a raspy voice, “I’m going crazy…”

During college finals, Gu Siyi almost bursted out crying, “I’m such a failure. I won’t be able to find a good job in the future…And if I can’t find a good job, I can’t provide for myself…”

Xia Zhijun played with her pink earlobe and remarked, “I’ll take care of you.”

After they graduated, Xia Zhijun created a research company and Gu Siyi became the boss’s wife.

The commercial rocket, “Star of Siyi” was successfully launched. So everyone knew that the new technology superstar, Xia Zhijun has a wife who he spoils a lot.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was a really cute and sweet book about a couple who met in their first year of high school and their relationship until they become working adults along with their friends. Gu Siyi and Xia Zhijun showed how being in love makes you want to be better and work harder even starting as young as high school freshmen. There's some drama because the main couple is too high profile and beautiful, but there's never a problem with Gu Siyi or Xia Zhijun like miscommunication or misunderstandings, which was refreshing. Whenever they run into a problem, they talk to each other and help each other out. 

Another nice surprise was that there was a love triangle, but it was focused on Gu Siyi's best friend instead. Instead of it becoming a dogblood drama, the guys take a step back and let her best friend make her decision instead. Where do you see such healthy friendships??? 

Overall, I think the book handled friendships and relationships very well. You have friendships that are nipped in the bud, friendships that end in regret, and friendships that lead to lifelong friends. Then, there's the different family relationships because parents have their children's best interest at heart, but it's communicated in different ways. Then you have relationships that stand the test of time, relationships that die as unrequited love, relationships that end, and relationships that take years to come to fruition. 

Definitely recommend if you want to read a light, contemporary romance.
