How old are they?

It’s actually hard to say—the story follows a non-linear timeline (e.g there were previous chapters where Zhan Xixi was already in uni, and when He Tian already owns and drives a car) so it’s actually not very clear
I mean if u feel uncomfortable with the age stuff u can just probably imagine that they’re all adults at this point, since the last couple of chapters didn’t really show how old they are

I know the name of the story is "Lady Baby" so it's about a BABY being a grown up and that's cute and all but I would like it if she grew up physically, it's not entertaining anymore since everything is handed to her in a silver plate now, other comments say she's becoming a Mary Sue and I agree. Also I can't enjoy the romantic part since she's an adult and she's OBLIVIOUS to the other children falling for her, it would be more bearable if she knew and was like "yeah no, stop right there u rascal" at least in her thoughts lol

If you came to the comments to see if it's worth the two hours to read it spoiler free: an entertaining read if you're into "the seme can't let go of the uke and gets fed his own medicine by being jealous and anxious". It has a little bit of rape (when will it stop, why is consent not sexy for y'all) second lead is 1000x better choice than the seme, the uke is WAY too lenient with abuse, and there's no real character development from the seme (no direct apology for all the shit the uke went through and still being a jerk). Overall, its a short read, obviously focused on the erotic part, but if you dont like the pairing even *that* falls flat in my opinion.
*spoilers, my review lol* I didn't hate the story, because it actually recognizes that "this is about an egotistical jerk and a low self-esteem idiot, you know what you're getting into, pitiful right?", even so, I don't think is well produced since the seme being so toxic wasn't refered as being a red flag but as "him being him", redeeming qualities only appear for him if the reader thinks that being manipulative is an endearing trait (and if they are fine with rape, that totally happened even if the seme "let him go" after) and so the story redeems him by pairing him to the miserable uke, who sadly thinks the seme's behaviour is his fault most of the time.
The uke is cute in his own way, the only one who got developed lol he went from running away from his problems to go face them, and he got good results! hurray!! but as other comments said, he and the seme shouldn't have ended up together. The confession could have included the "stop treating me like shit and then we'll talk, work on yourself first " speech, give the relationship a time to cool off (after all, the seme was desperate because of the threat of military hyung), and then, if it was deemed fine, go out again. It seems easy when u see it in retrospect lol
The second pair is shallow and its "better" mostly bc of in comparison lmao a fish and a monkey in love seem better off than the main couple.

Why does it have to be rape, after the first pages of the sex scene I just skimmed through the whole thing bc it was so disgusting to me, and the uke just goes "I can't be mad at you, look at your face you're crying" W HAT????????? why is "not consenting" such a turn on for fujoshis I absolutely hate this timeline
Does someone have the novel for this one?? I tried searching and all it comes out is an american erotica novel lmaooo
I found spoilers but not the novel.
