故事內容:Story Synopsis:
男主Rowan是一個主題樂園的總裁,
Rowan, the protagonist, is a CEO of a popular theme park.
?
爺爺過世后給男主三兄弟布置了不同的任務,
Following the passing of his grandfather, Rowan and his two brothers are assigned different tasks.
?
男主的任務是要在六個月內把樂園完善,做得更好,如果他失敗了就會失去樂園的股權。
Rowan's mission is to revamp and improve the park within six months, or else he risks losing his ownership stake.
?
男主看似很暴躁傲慢、難以相處,但其實是受他童年經歷所影響,
Initially, Rowan comes across as brash, arrogant, and difficult to get along with, but his behavior is influenced by his troubled childhood.?
?
其實他很好相處,是一個外冷內熱的人。
In truth, he is more approachable than he appears, harboring a warm and caring nature beneath his exterior.
?
?
?
他在故事初期只在乎自身利益,不在乎樂園員工的死活,壓榨員工。
At the story's outset, he prioritizes personal gain over the well-being of the park's employees, often taking advantage of them.
?
?
女主Zahra是游樂園的一名員工,她樂天、開朗,
Zahra, the female lead, is a cheerful employee at the amusement park. She exudes an optimistic and lighthearted demeanor.?
?
她在開頭和老板兼男主Rowan的相處不太愉悅,女主覺得他是一個沒有人性的人。
Initially, her interactions with Rowan, her boss and the male protagonist, are less than pleasant, leaving her with the impression that he lacks compassion.
?
?
女主后來因為工作原因和男主的接觸機會變多,他們慢慢地互相吸引,
As fate brings Zahra into frequent contact with Rowan due to work-related reasons, an undeniable attraction sparks between them.?
?
通過一次情不自禁的吻令感情就一發(fā)不可收拾,他們嘗試壓抑內心的感覺,
A single, impulsive kiss sets off a chain reaction of uncontrollable emotions, despite their attempts to suppress their true feelings and maintain a facade of normalcy.?
?
裝得像沒事發(fā)生一樣,但其實他們微妙的關系已悄然改變。
Unbeknownst to others, their relationship undergoes subtle yet significant shifts.
?
女主就像一個小太陽一樣,照亮Rowan所有不為人知、陰暗不堪的一面,讓他慢慢地看到很多自己忽略的東西,產生不一樣觀點,
Zahra, akin to a radiant sun, illuminates Rowan's hidden and shadowed aspects, enabling him to gradually perceive the aspects of life he had overlooked.?
?
漸漸地,他也成了一個有溫度、懂得去關心別人的人,
Consequently, he undergoes a transformation, evolving into a compassionate individual who extends a helping hand to struggling employees,?
?
他會幫助有困難的員工、關心身邊的殘疾人士、懂得體貼關心女主?
demonstrates empathy towards those with disabilities, and exhibits thoughtfulness and care towards Zahra.?
?
不再是別人口中所認為的一個沒有感情的機器人。
No longer is he the emotionless automaton that others believe him to be.
?
個人感受:My Personal Thoughts:
?
這本書很好讀,而且是雙視角,情節(jié)也非常unpredictable,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It offers a unique dual perspective, and the plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns.
?
男主英俊高大威猛,女主可愛樂天,
The male protagonist is handsomely rugged, while the female lead is charmingly optimistic.?
?
真的好配,里面不時的斗嘴互動也很有趣!
They make a perfect pair, and their witty banter and interactions throughout the story are truly delightful.
?
有趣的情節(jié)(慎防劇透)
One particular plot point that stood out to me (spoiler alert):
?男主偷偷以陌生人的身分幫女主畫畫,
the male protagonist secretly assumes the identity of a stranger to help the female lead with her painting.?
?
女主想感謝這個陌生人,女主就寫了小紙條希望男主轉交,
The female lead, wanting to thank this stranger, writes a note hoping the male protagonist will pass it along.?
?
但也不抱期望,因為覺得男主不會幫忙,
She doesn't hold high hopes since she doesn't believe he would be willing to help.
?
沒想到男主偷偷用假的電話號碼聯(lián)系她。
To her surprise, the male protagonist contacts her using a fake phone number.?
?
他們的對話好好笑,女主一來就諷刺到男主不像是一個會幫忙轉達的人,
Their conversation is filled with humor, as the female lead teasingly questions his reliability in delivering the message.
?
后來男主還對女主的樂天而難以置信,疑問她到底吃了什么藥??
The male protagonist is amazed by her carefree nature and jokingly wonders what medicine she took that made her?to be so cheerful???
