Restricted Area [禁区]
空菊
Jiang Chijing had always used surveilling prisoners’ every move to satiate his voyeuristic appetite.
Until one day, an extremely dangerous convict entered the prison—and Jiang Chijing was caught spying on him.
The watcher became the watched, the hunter became the hunted. Facing Zheng Mingyi, who closed in tighter with every step, Jiang Chijing was forced to brace his arms against the other’s chest, warning him:
“This is my restricted area. Please get out.”

You know, I was living a happy and fulfilling (reading)life minding my own business and then Meli went and recommended me a Danmei novel and here I am, one week, 2 books in and 1500 pages later (don’t worry, THIS ONE HERE IS ONLY, LIKE 400 PAGES ) absolutely obsessed.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It was hard at first getting used to the unusual writing (translation actually) because of the speech differences but once you get over the somewhat stiff and formal dialogues the books are amazing. This one here is so unique and captivating.. And 🥵 in a slow burn no sex on page way (because China) .
Restricted Area is about two neighbors.Well, not exactly but that’s how it all starts 😁 JC is a voyeur who works as a prison librarian/officer. He mostly likes to spy on his hot (albeit boring)corporate worker neighbor ZM (he uses a monocular and everything). Things happen and one day his hot neighbor arrives at the prison as an inmate accused of a white collar crime (he’s a stockbroker). And thus a thug of war starts in which ZM reveals his secrets bit by bit and gives us quite a few surprises,twists and turns while at the same time seducing and keeping JC totally on his toes . And let’s not forget, trying to survive the many dangers of a prison. The UST is awesome, the jealousy and teasing and banter, the “leave me alone come closer” is so entertaining. And I confess, I didn’t like JC (the librarian) at first, he was lazy, self centered,judgmental and a snob yet by the end of the book I adored him. He’s such a badass . I LOVED IT!!! I can’t say I understood the stocks and market and companies and brokers bits though, they flew over my head 🥴🫣 but the book has a lot of depth and it’s quite light . Not the dark prison kind.
The last chapters are a bit OTT but I didn’t mind .
Also I have to mention that , since it’s a prison ,some details (not many) are a bit triggering, the worse being the rape of a side character (a villain ) off page. I didn’t like it that the author chose to add that bit to be honest, I found it distasteful.
Anyway, if you like enemies to lovers (sort of), hot UST, protective badass MCs, subtle romantic gestures and good dialogues this is your book. 😍
I leave the link with the book from the amazing translator’s page. I hope it’s alright.

Ahhhh I loved it! The chemistry of this couple was amazing. Their mental conversations, the subliminal messages in every word they said, the banter, the sexual tension, and their dirty fantasies made me laugh out loud.
On the other hand, I wasn't expecting the story to be so sweet. They were perfect for each other. Feeding dog food to everyone in the prison and making me feel single 🙈.
Surprisingly, the power balance of those two was remarkable. They are a pure green flag, although a slightly dirty one 😂.

I was trying to get out of my reading slump caused by a particular novel and came across this novel while looking for something to entertain me. I was not convinced at first and thought that since this novel is quite short, even if I ended up not liking this, it wouldn't take too much time. I was totally not expecting to pick up a gem!
Honestly, the only downside of this is that it was too short for me!! Though plot-wise, this has a perfect length, not too condensed and not too dragging either. But because I loved this so much and I want to read more of the MC and ML, 66 chapters are definitely not enough.
What I loved the most about this is the relationship between Jiang Chijing (MC) and Zheng Mingyi (ML). Among the countless BL couples that I've read, they're definitely included on the top of the list that has a great chemistry. The sexual tension between them is almost tangible, it was making me sweat. Their bickering and flirting really made my mouth ached from grinning so much. They're also both have wild and filthy mind, so imagine their sex life. They're so enjoyable to read that I didn't even realized I already reached the end of the novel. That's why I thought it was too short for me!!
I also loved Zheng Mingyi's sexy brain!! Jiang Jiang is definitely not stupid but when he's having a verbal sparring with his man, his brain was turning into paste and according to him, he really needed to spend too much brain cells. It's so funny when they're having two different conversations at the same time. Reading their antics brought me so much happiness and satisfaction!!
Seriously, please read this one. It has mature topics but this is not particularly dark theme. Be ready for their palpable chemistry that you will definitely love. I highly recommend this amazing novel to everyone!

This was so much fun! I didn't like one of ways payback was handled in the prison.
The rest though was awesome. The scheming, the flirting, and relationship progression were great.

this book taught me about stocks & gave me three (oddly) sweet and steamy couples & it kept me heavily invested even though i was lost plot wise. not bad but i wanted some more development between the MC & ML. but considering the fact that it’s only 66 chapters + extras, restricted area delivered on what it promised

This novel is amazing. I love the mutual kinks and slow acceptance of each other. The busting of preconceptions they had about each other. The action near the end. This is like Pride and Prejudice bent together with Administration by Manna Francis and had a sassy baby.
I love the dynamic between all the couples, but especially the main one. They support each other and each brings a different skill to the relationship. They've each saved the other - there's mutual pampering, but you never get the impression they give up and rely on the pampering to get by.
That said, the authors is great about acknowledging how each relationship is different. There's one that seems toxic to outsiders, but seems to be based on strong mutual love and understanding. There's another where there is immense pampering. In the end, like the MC proposes, everyone has their good and their bad, and similarly, every relationship has an inside story.

It was a light and entertaining read, but it did not really capture me. I enjoyed the prison setting and the financial market background, and I also enjoyed the "forbidden relationship" atmosphere. But there were a few things that bothered me a little. I felt the author was often overexplaining the subtexts in the characters' lines, even when they were cristal clear. I also felt that many plot developments were quite predictable. I missed some surprise. It is not between my favorite danmei, but it is not bad.

i know absolutely nothing about stocks so that all went over my head but i was there for a good time not an educational one. for my personal preference i would have loved it if it was a little longer but i do think that the length that it is was the perfect amount for what this story wanted to tell. i just love long books.
the main couple were perfect for each other and was set up for my to love them for some reason i didn't super love them together?? i still liked them together but i wasnt obsessed and thats why it isnt rated higher. also would have loved to learn more about yu guang and luo hai.

love the banter. honestly the main characters have wayy too high of an IQ their plotting is quite impressive. no explicit sex(mostly described figuratively) altho they are both pretty dirty minded (這還算清水嗎。。。)
October 14, 2023
Both of them are perverted and dirty-minded with high working brains. This story focused on MC starting from crush to being friend before suddenly being ML lover. The timeline is okay, the plot and speed of plot development are also ok, all characters are all cute!!! I love how frank MC and ML are!!! 4.7/5⭐️

Short and sweet novel that still managed to have fully fleshed out characters and an interesting plot. I finished it within a day of starting!
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
I loved the interactions between the two main characters. Every time Jiang Chijing thinks he has upper hand, he finds out the ML Zheng Mingyi is way ahead of him. ZMY truly deserves his username of God of Go. This quote from the book describes their relationship pretty well:
Previously, Jiang Chijing had a hunch that he hadn’t managed to hide what he wanted to hide, that Zheng Mingyi had stripped him down to his underwear.
But now, this feeling changed. He had a vague premonition that he was possibly stripped so far down that he wasn’t even left with his underwear anymore.
And this too:
“You said that you didn’t have clues with you.” Jiang Chijing gradually eased up, taking a deep inhale to calm his shock.
“They weren’t with me,” Zheng Mingyi shrugged. “They’ve always been with you.”
And they were literally ‘on hand’ for Jiang Chijing.
Jiang Chijing had nothing to say. He only felt that the longest road he’d ever walked in this lifetime was the circuitous road of Zheng Mingyi’s myriad schemes.
I love intelligent characters, so it was such a pleasure to watch ZMY's scheming come to fruition. His plans always manage to achieve multiple goals, and I knew exactly how JCJ felt each time he fully thought through the implications of ZMY's plans and was in awe of his foresight.
For example, he talked the Princess out of murdering Old Nine at JCJ's request, but his plan had the additional benefit of removing Old Nine, the most dangerous convict left, from the prison, ensuring JCJ would have an easier time after he got out. ZMY's whole orchestration of his former boss's downfall and his amazing sense of timing on when to progress with his plan had me clapping my hands in admiration. What can this man not do?!
The chemistry between ZMY and JCJ was amazing as well. There was so much sexual tension build up and back and forth flirting going on, and I loved every moment of it! At least ZMY got out of prison after only 2 months or so, so they were able to start their domestic life of living together pretty quickly.
I'd recommend this novel to any danmei fans looking for a short and sweet read.

Beautiful. I had my doubts before starting to read this because of the whole prisoner x prison librarian, I wasn’t sure how the whole thing was going to develop; but it was truly wonderful. Both MCs were strong on their own, they knew how to protect themselves but they were also sooo supporting of each other. They had such strong chemistry since the beginning and a LOT of sexual tension. I adored their relationship so much, it was really sweet giving the circumstances in which they fell in love. The plot was really cool as well, although it involved a lot of economic concepts and was a little bit hard to understand at times; I got confused a lot and some things I couldn’t quite totally understand so I just gave up on them lol but I think the author did a great job explaining them so people who have very poor knowledge of economy in general (like me) could at least grasp the general concept of it. Still, it was really interesting. It had some side couples as well which I really liked, specially Xu Sheng and Princess; I just wish we got more of Luo Hai and Yu Guang because they weren’t explicitly together, not even by the end of it :(
The extras were lovely too, specially the last one where everyone got to meet each other after two years. It was nice seeing everyone doing so well and maintaining good relationships still, like Xu Sheng and his prison brothers lol. It would’ve been nice seeing Jiang Chijing and Zheng Mingyi getting married tho, like having a wedding abroad at least because they really got engaged, but I guess the knowledge that they WANT to marry must suffice.

Disfruté bastante la novela, fue divertida y entretenida. Lo que más me gustó fue la dinámica entre Jiang Chijing y Zheng Mingyi, cómo se provocaban y molestaban, coqueteaban, se entendían, su gran química y tensión sexual. Todo esto mientras se desenvolvía la trama que, pese a que no conozco tan bien el tema de las acciones y la bolsa de valores, se explica muy bien y se logra entender a buen ritmo.
Por otro lado, lo que no me gustó fue que, terminando el libro, JC se volvió OP en cierta parte. También que la autora desestimó lo que Princess le hizo a Old Nine por lo que realmente fue y creó demasiado perfecto a ZM.
Además, la manera que acabó el capítulo final me pareció apresurada, pues, aunque no hubo ningún cabo suelto, me hubiera gustado ver un poco más de interacción entre JC y ZM. Tal vez una charla sentimental y profunda, conocerse más, algo que me hiciera simpatizar con el hecho de que ya los dos querían vivir juntos y ser pareja hasta el fin de los tiempos cuando apenas se conocen desde hace dos meses.

3.5/5 Overall, I liked the setting and the characters (including side ones). However, the progression of events seemed a bit silly and odd to me; not to mention ML and MC's OP characters; they're almost always out of harm's way in every hurdle.
Still, the characters were unique (ie weird) masquerading as "normal," which I thought was interesting as it questioned conformity and where we draw the line at what's ethical and socially acceptable and what's not - I still feel like it could've been explored more! (the revenge on Old Nine was hard to read and cruel)
Quote I liked:
"After having been single for a long time, Jiang Chijing discovered a new truth of life. The kitchen was a reflection of one's quality of life.
If one didn't usually have time to cook, likely, the stress from work was heavier, eating away one's mood to enjoy such leisures. But if one often made their own meals, even learning new recipes, likely, their lives were more carefree, and they were filled with anticipation for the future."

So much fun! Great translation by LuckyKoi. Wrongfully imprisoned intelligent financial analyst schemes to get his way around prison, make alliances, and also plots revenge against the person who put him there - along the way befriends a righteous prison guard who helps save his life several times… and also bakes him a strawberry pie. The side characters for the prison guards (mostly Luo Hai) were so supportive, and the other inmates gave so much character to the story. It was a very fun read, zero angst, hilarious banter and pussyfooting between ZMY and JJ regarding the hidden secret of voyeurism and spying on each other, and the business/stock manipulation plot was interesting enough. The Extras chapters were great and touching.

What a great novel!
I've always wanted to read a danmei but the translations always put me off and I could never finish any of the big name ones as they're too long but Restricted Area was perfect. The translations were spot on and so easy to understand the book was funny as hell, I laughed in every chapter and the book was only 66 chapters. The sexual tension between Jiang Chijing and Zheng Meng Yi was so palpable and they had a truly beautiful relationship. I'm only disappointed about the sex scenes, but it's unsurprisingly since it's the usual censorship that you come to expect with Chinese entertainment.
Overall, really enjoyable book and I highly recommend.

This is as good as other reviewers say.. the flirting and chemistry 100% While the setting is prison, it is not too violent... since most of the scenes happen in the library or outside, more from Jiang Chijing's perspective. I love that both leads are smart (in reality, no one is as smart as Zheng Mingyi), both are a bit kinky (not only JCJ was a stalker, ehhh) and both know how to fight and protect the other. From a bit of mistrust to fully trusting each other <3 I love it. And even without all the smutty parts, just spending time together, sitting next to each other, is 🔥🔥🔥

Jiang me desesperó un rato, porque se me hacía un poco inverosímil que en realidad no entendiera lo obvio que era el comportamiento de Zheng, pero después se me pasó.
That's just the way that is
Amé a los personajes secundarios y cómo todas las relaciones van formándose.
De nuevo declaro la guerra a la censura y su escena de avena y leche waaa, me dejaron medio hambriada, pero bueno, se compensa con el fluff y la dinámica llena de comedia y sensualidad ajsdkjfajk los amo.
que vivan los nobiooossss

I really enjoyed the main couples dynamic, very smart x smart is so fun to read. It’s also fun reading too mature people who know that they are gay, and are exploring their relationship with each other rather than their sexuality in general. The other side couples are also interesting, Yu Guang is so cute 🥺. The plot is fun, and became even funnier once it was obviously based on the GAME stock incident.

Primero que nada: el posible dolor de cabeza que me llegue a causar el curso de valores de la bolsa en el que me voy a meter, responsabilizo a Zheng Mingyi de toda culpa.
Me gustó cómo la autora ambientó la prisión. Los personajes principales fueron de mi agrado. Ambos son muy inteligentes y tienen unos fetiches interesantes. 👀 Los secundarios también demostraron más trasfondo del que esperaba.
Buena lectura. ☆

Yayy it was a good short read! Honestly, i got quite amused while reading it, cuz, the sexual tension was.. daamn. It was kinda funny, and hot. I enjoyed it, especially how short it was and the plot was fine as well. Cause it was short, the story didn’t really go deeper about the characters nor really the plot. Also , i never thought i’d learn about stocks😭. Their love was very fluffy and cute and i loveee how they interact with each other. Their thoughts was ahaha yeahhh.

Ufffff the s*xual tension, the flirting, the dirty talks and chemistry (chef's kiss ( ˘ ³˘)❤) MC (shou) has vouyerism (totally not creepy, promise!) , he works as a prison guard and is good at reading people. ML (gong) got the brains to match his brawn, a smart, dyslexic, calculating genius who just loves to tease MC. And oh, he'd move mountains for his beloved wifey! The extras are so good too especially ML's POV

I really liked this! The banter between the two leads was so so delightful and I adored the way they eventually went from being two loners to people with a (pretty unconventional) community around them. Also all the dirty talk was A+++ god it was so funny and so hot at the same time? Baffling but amazing. Would definitely re-read this one.
