Guomin Laogong Dai Huijia

Lu Jin Nian and Qiao An Hao are a newly married couple—unfortunately, neither of them are willing participants. Now husband and wife, Qiao An Hao establishes a few ground rules: no one can know that they are married, their cohabitation is top-secret information, and under no circumstances is Lu Jin Nian permitted to touch her. As a result, their marriage remains strictly superficial.

Behind their broken union, however, there is a long and complicated history. A chance encounter while seeking shelter from the rain led to the lives of Lu Jin Nian and Qiao An Hao getting intertwined. But as fate would have it, the date also marked the moment Qiao An Hao's sister fell madly in love with the stoic and mysterious Lu Jin Nian. With emotional stakes flying high, the years leading up to this marriage have been long and complicated—but never boring. And even now, despite their long-standing friendship, the newlyweds are no closer to understanding each other.

earlier i thought that most of the chines story are bad as compared to their Japaneses counter part
but one day while searching for anime to watch i fell on this show an man it literally changed the way i watch chines anime there after.

the only problem you would have to read and watch both the comic and the anime show because some points are left in the anime and some part are left in the comic

so watch the anime first (it will be confusing at some parts because the filler is left in the comic) later read the comic and again watch those parts ... of anime where you dont understand or dont get the point

P.S. some part in the anime are a bit wrong as per the comic

and please support the author by reading it from http://aoc.moe/category/releases/

seriously this thing is a masterpiece

I repeat this thing is a masterpiece.

official comic link

P.S. i am not related to this author as i live in other country than china(India)

Mixed Feelings

Chinese animation is largely inferior to its Japanese contemporaries, running into issues of substandard art design, terrible comedic timing and a lack of creative flair to give the show life. I'd all but given up hope of finding anything decent in the industry until stumbling upon How to Steal 55 Kisses, a novel adaptation about two sisters who fall in love with the same guy

55 Kisses has the feel of a soap opera operating under a constant wave of melodrama from characters that face obstacles in their desire to be together. Qiao Anhao feels guilt about liking the same person her own sibling does and ... struggles to gumption up the courage to tell him how she feels. Lu Jinnian is in love with Anhao, but a busy schedule makes it difficult for him to commit to a relationship. These obstacles can of course be avoided by the ability to communicate properly - a basic human function that seems to escape 99% of romantic protagonists and nonetheless here as well.

55 Kisses speeds through its story with just 11 minutes committed to each episode and a time skip mid season. I would have preferred if they did pace themselves a bit more and give us more time to enjoy these characters, but there's also merit in a romance that doesn't dawdle on its premise. A second season is needed in order to continue the story as it ends in the middle of an arc without any finality. From what I've read from various sources across the internet, the anime doesn't get into the crux of the story and serves as more of a prologue

The character designs are quite good. In what is usually a weakness for the industry is a strength in this anime. Lu is a gorgeous woman with flowing black hair complemented by her dark olive eyes, and Lu is the type of mysterious badass hot dude that'll make even the straightest of men question their sexuality. The animation on the other hand is not good. Every moving vehicle is in CG and the abundance of static shots can hurt the immersion for the viewer, but thankfully the overall aesthetic is enough to make this tolerable

The voice acting will take some time to get used to for any seasoned anime fan. The Chinese language is significantly different and the performances themselves are worse than the more experienced seiyuu's we see throughout the Japanese animation industry. This was not a turn off for me per say, but it may be for others that can't quite acclimate to the differences in pronunciation and tone

"Chinese anime" used to be synonymous with soulless garbage for me, but perhaps that was unfair now I've seen they're capable of producing a solid adaptation that can appeal to fans throughout the romance genre. This isn't a particularly great anime by any means, but a reminder that there is potential in the Chinese industry. I'll definitely be looking out for more including any news for a follow up season to conclude this story of a complicated love.

The score is only temporary, why?
If you are not one who likes to watch incomplete series, then definitely do not watch this show. My score for this series may change if a sequel comes out. Just right when I was deep into he story and boom! What an unexplained awkward ending. Makes me think what will happen between them, why does this happen, and why did it end like this? It needs a sequel.
Though the story is normal and there is nothing special, but I like it that an episode is only about 11 minutes. So it doesn't bore me out.
Overall it's a ... decent series, probably because I didn't have high expectations. Which after watching, it turns out to be quite a low-key pleasant surprise. For me I didn't really like the voice actors, I don't know why but I felt that it is a little awkward, probably because it's my first chinese 'anime' and I'm too used to Japanese VA. All in all, I do hope for a sequel though, but if the sequel ends in a way similar to this... I'm giving up on this series man.
