You might have clicked on the title because you saw Li Sicheng's name. Then, you should already know what novel this is about. Hahaha. Or maybe because of the word 'shameless'. (because you are one too. Kidding.) I don't know. LOL.

If you do not know who he is, he's from the novel The 99th Divorce. Go ahead and read it, only if you're curious.

Okay, enough intro. HAHAHA. This is my first time starting a thread. But I was just curious for a long time now, then a fellow reader brought it up to me. I wonder, when did he start falling for her? As we know, he did a complete 180 on his character (Thank heavens for Maldives and Grandpa Li!! ❤), and became the shameless husband we're all dreaming about now. Lol. I just want to hear opinions of different people and start a discussion about his character. I love him so much and I feel like he's one of the best male lead in the romance novels I've encountered here in qidian. Well, you might not see it for now, but that's what I felt after reading their entire story (yup, if you do not know, I have already read the raws). You're free to disagree with me though. That's why we're having this discussion.

Soooo, I tried backtracking his actions and tried formulating my theory on when he first fell in love for our lucky Su Qianci (Yes! You lucky girl, I wished I were you! 😭😭😭). What I gathered is, I think he started to realize he loves her during his talk with Ou Ming at the bar where he denied he's in love when OM asked him if he is. He started being expressive at that time if you may recall, then it was triggered more when she had a miscarriage.

As for when it started, this is where I'm actually not sure. When she was reborn, he started getting interested at her since she changed completely overnight. Not the clingy, stupid girl from the day before. Maybe as he starts knowing more of her and realizing she wasn't pretending at being hard to get, it grew from there.

What do you all think?? [BTW, sorry if you think this discussion is too shallow for your liking. Lol 😂 I'm honestly just genuinely curious. 😊 HAHAHA.]

EDIT: Proceed with precaution, there might be a few spoilers ahead. Somehow, this thread ended up with me giving spoilers LMAO 😂 You're all really shameless. HAHAHAHA. I put up warnings on my posts that have them.

EDIT #2: Just skip the first two replies, they're not readers of the novel and doesn't have any input about the discussion. 😊 You can start with post #8 or click here: https://forum.webnovel.com/d/15655-li-sicheng-the-shameless-hubby/9

    Blabla, shameless here, shameless there, blabla... I miss the good old times, where "shameless" meant that the MC did something hilarious/badass which most people wouldn't do because of fear for embaressment.

    But now this word is used for every cringy advertisement and begging thread. And now this. I never thought I will ever say this, but I believe this "community" finally needs some shame.

    Calling yourself shameless shouldn't mean you can do all the things you should feel shame and embaressment about. It's not an badge of honor in real life. (except while snu snu obviously)

    Edit: Sorry for my little rant, I love your positive vibe!

      If you can't tell WHEN a character had a change of heart - then clearly the "change of heart" hasn't happened yet. If it happened and you have NO CLUE why... the author is not doing their job.

        Karyehs I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm asking the READERS of the novel. This term is what we conned the Male Lead for a long time now, I don't know or care if it was used for many other things here. Why click on this?

        Edit: I honestly do not know how others used the word shameless but, take my word for it, he's honestly SHAMELESS. All readers of this novel probably agrees with me. Lol 😂 Excuse me for my words here: Who makes his wife, who is in her period, give him a handjob because he's unsatisfied and was cockblocked for a LOT of times and is having blue balls? Who makes his drunk wife, who teased his little junior so much then dozed off after playing with it, make her eat his sausage because she's playing with fire after he tried so hard to get away from her and control his desire? Is he not shameless enough? Am I wrong to call him that?? Hahahaha 😂 😂

            StarBird Nope, you honestly haven't read it or know a single thing. Why bother clicking on this and replying if you don't know what the discussion is about? He obviously had a change of heart. You see where I said he did a complete 180?? What I wanted to know was the exact moment he did and maybe not realized yet, but he did. Thanks. 😊

                Karyehs I made an edit because I did not see your edit there lol Hey, you were the one who came bitchy on me first. I'm sorry for lashing out, I was trying to have good discussion here but instead I get replies from people who haven't read the novel and preaching me about clickbaiting which is not my intention. Again, I am sorry. 😭 😭 Forgive me for turning on my bitchy mode hahaha 😂 😂 😂

                  OKAAAAY! BECAUSE OF THE CHAOS WITH THE DISAPPEARING SPIRIT STONES (Zhang Xuan probably taken them all LMAO 😂 😂) This thread got pushed down a lot LOL 😂 😂

                  Please my fellow shameless readers, I hope you all find this. 😊😊😊

                    Aoyuki Hey my spoiler queen!!!👋🏾👋🏾 FYI I love your bitchiness, don’t pay those rude people any mind, they just don’t understand our love, devotion and level of shamelessness we feel for our Mr. Li!!! I honestly feel like he is 1 of the best male leads out there and maybe only qin chi can hold a candle next to him.

                        I just got to know from some spoilers that...there will some conflict between tle leads becoz of luyihan ..and he will force himself on her....is it correct....I dont want that😟

                          massive26 YAAAAY! You came! 😊 I love Qin Chu too, just that Li Sicheng has taken my whole heart for the moment, he won't even let others in LOL (Please don't tell him I said I love Qin chu haha)

                          So what do you think? What is your theory regarding when our mighty darling fell in love with Su Qianci?? Haha

                              I think he was intrigued after their wedding night once he saw she had totally changed from the type of girls he had always hated. And then it was further developed even though not in a good way (like when he wanted to force himself onto her when she met Lu Yihan for dinner), and after she miscarried it was obvious he wanted him to be a part of her life (when he thought they could have another baby if she was willing but at this point he thought Su Qianci was in love with Lu Yihan)

                              Even though I've stopped reading raws due to time constraints and my workloads, I'm keeping my faith in Li Sicheng when the next troubles come. And although Su Qianci so far not being too proactive even though it's her second lifetime I couldn't blame her. Like you have stated, she wanted to live a peaceful life and get a divorce from Li Sicheng. She herself didn't know her love for him would be reciprocated. And for fans who have different opinions regarding her not being smart enough, please give herself some credit too. She's not quick witted and strong like Ye Wanwan but she indeed has qualities too

                                i really love your spoilers...will there be misunderstandings again?i jst want the both of them to be cute and lovey dovey...hoping that Ou ming and Yu Lili be together

                                  mysteriousreader1 [Spoiler Warning!]

                                  Okay. I don't want to lay blame, but honestly I don't like what he did too, but Su Qianci was extremely stupid. He asked her for the truth countless of times but she kept lying. She said she was going to a friend (in the middle of the night) who needs love advice, when in truth, she's going to LYH's apartment who escaped from the hospital and drowned himself in alcohol (because he called her in the middle of snu snu with LSC and thought she was in danger lol 😂) I can't blame LSC for losing control. But he regretted his actions and blamed himself so much afterwards and did everything to make up with her. I love how self aware he is lol

                                      StarBird excuse me, have you read the book ? Go read it before you start writing comments on Li sicheng

                                          hansora So more or less around the first 50 chapters, right?

                                          Yeah, though I kinda understand some getting frustrated with Su Qianci, re-reading the entire raws made me understand why her character's weak like this. Just from the traumas from her previous life alone, it destroyed any self confidence she had and loaded her with massive insecurities. And what I liked about this novel is that it just doesn't focus with female lead alone (which most romance novels do) Their male leads tend to become supporting characters for the FL, which is nice, but I want a novel where they both shine and we get to see the ML's thoughts, and this novel gave me plenty of that. Which made me fell so hard for Li Sicheng's character. And of course his shamelessness too. Lol 😂 😂

                                          Well, all I can say, for all those who left, it's their loss. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

                                              carol1 Hahaha should I have put a spoiler tag here? 😂😂 I'm afraid this thread would end up with me giving a lot of spoilers HAHAHA

                                              [Spoiler Warning!]

                                              What we'll experience next (after these massive faceslaps! Burn witches! 🔥🔥) I don't think we should label as misunderstandings. Rather, the lack of trust of SQC with LSC. Not that we can blame her completely. Even though he has proved himself again and again to her about not being the Father of TMY's child, she's still weakened by her past traumas and what she experienced with him in her first life. Everything's too good to be true and doubting him was much more realistic. Couple with the conclusive evidences against him, it's really hard to trust him. But because we know the whole story, we get frustrated with her for not trusting him. But she doesn't know what we know, so we must give her some slack lol 😂 😂

                                              It would be cute to see him try so hard to prove himself to her anyways. ❤❤❤

                                                  Dahrybola Haha let's not reply to them anymore, it would just make them go back to this thread, let's avoid the arguments now that the discussion has started 😊😊

                                                    Aoyuki I honestly think he started to fall for her from the beginning. But it was so minute since it’s told from su point of view really that no one really notices it so it’s like a gradual falling into love type. Also I feel you on the whole past life trauma thing with su but I am honestly starting to feel like it’s a crutch and just excuses at this point. At some point you have to let the past be the past and start to be a lil stronger. You cant expect change when you hold onto the past all the time. She really needs to start trusting him and loving him half assed!
