斗地主之恋 Fight the Landlord, Fall in Love

I had no clue about this book. And while I do love bl dramas and books, I don't actively look for them and just go by what everyone is talking about. So thank you to my friend Dany for recommending it to me and I didn't even realize that this was by the same author who wrote the amazing Golden Stage.

Apparently this is kind of an AU spin-off of Golden Stage, but you won't realize that unless you've read GS and are more than midway through this one. But that doesn't matter. This book is ultimately a very cute and fluffy romance between a rich businessman with family problems and a genius professor. They seem like such an unlikely couple but fall in love pretty easily and I loved how seamless their relationship was. There was hardly any angst, probably just one chapter with some jealousy which ended up being hilarious, and some business intrigue which resulted in a couple of absolutely badass scenes. I still can't decided if I like Sun Zinan or Tang Kai but they definitely are perfect for each other.

Overall, this was just super fun. If you need a break from all the angsty bl novels and just want a short novel with some fluff, this one is perfect. It's a very quick read which will bring lots of smiles on your face.
