After I Possessed the Tmall Genie of the School Adonis

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

If life were likened to god rolling the dice, then Lu YunFei is a 6. He’s handsome and smart, save for his abysmal proficiency in English. That is until he met Bian JinYuan — Bian JinYuan is tall and cool, top of his grade in every exam, and his English results definitely destroy Lu YunFei’s twice over. If he’s a 6, then this guy is simply 666!

Since YunFei is already here, why would there be a need for JinYuan? It’s hard for a mountain to accommodate two tigers, unless one is a male while the other is female. Lu YunFei looked at the other party’s gender, and silently crossed that thought out.

However, not long after he started to treat Bian JinYuan as a rival, he found that after 9pm, he would mysteriously possess Bian JinYuan’s Tmall Genie. (A cat mascot similar to Amazon Alexa or Google Home.)

After possessing the Tmall Genie, Lu YunFei realised that his rival is actually a pauper prince. Lu YunFei who possessed looks, height, and wealth looked at his cards which were almost overflowing with money, and decided to establish his friendship relations. Therefore, since Bian JinYuan lacked money, Lu YunFei hired him to be his English tutor.

Bian JinYuan bought a cake and couldn’t bear to eat it so that he could bring it home for his family. Lu YunFei bought him a large slice of cake the next day.

Having done good deeds everyday, Lu YunFei felt that the invisible red scarf on his chest had gotten brighter.

Until there was a hot post on the school forum: 《Expose on Lu YunFei – getting the top student to be your lackey, do you really think that it’s all that to have money! 》

The original poster listed down various instances: bag-carrying, bringing water, peeling chestnuts; the school genius was ordered about as if he were a servant. Everyone was enjoying the gossip, when Bian JinYuan who had never posted in the forum before, posted for the first time with his real name.

Bian JinYuan: I don’t need the money, I’m willing, why do you care?

Everyone was scared dumb.

Lu YunFei worried about whether he should bother Bian JinYuan less.

“That’s not necessary, I like being bothered by you.”

“Forget it,” Lu YunFei rejected.

Bian JinYuan thought for a bit: “Then let me rephrase — that’s not necessary, I like you.”

Lu YunFei: ???!!!

Lu YunFei never expected that the mountain is wide and holds many types of tigers. Together, two male tigers can not only run fast, but also fall in love!

It's stories like these that make me feel the joys of romance despite being aroace! Only BL can give me butterflies! So cute! So sweet! The slowburn is real and sometimes frustrating, but it's totally worth it and the story's never boring. I love their banter so so much. I stayed up all night reading this and I wasn't even tired because of the constant rush of dopamine (code: I have a debilitating addiction pls send help) !!!!!!!!!!

Thank you translator for working so hard, I discovered a lot of nice... more>> songs! Also I think the author is pretty scary, considering 200, 000 words "short"... <<less

Of sweetness and English.

A rather short romance story with very light touches of fantasy.

Both the MC and the ML are the best students and the most handsome of their high school, however, while Lu is rich, popular and cries bitterly to approve English: Bian is poor, antisocial and perfect in all subjects.

... more>> So both boys will collide when their teacher decides to turn them into table mates in the hope that Lu improves his English.

Little by little, the lives of both come closer and what begins as friendship is transformed day by day.

The story is pleasant and very easy to read, however the drama is almost non-existent, arising small conflicts that are resolved literally with a single sentence, making everything too perfect. It is not necessary to create drama to tell a good story, however, it could contribute enough to the plot and development of love interests if any of the situations that occur throughout history had been deepened a little more.

Another point that does not work, in my personal opinion, is the way in which Bian sees love, with some comment or thoughts that seems more like obsession and dependence than romantic love. <<less

Such a warm novel. There's an equal amount of anything you want, like romance, cliché scenes, drama, friendships, family, action, etc. There wasn't too much nor too little.

I really like the gradual growing affection of YunFei and JinYuan. It just makes me think of high school and youth. It made me feel like I'm witnessing their whole journey from the start until the end.

The only con for me is how it wasn't explained why YunFei possessed the tmall genie. Another thing is I really want to know the story of... more>> YunFei's friend, Wen MingYi and his ge.

Overall, this is a 4.5/5 for me. I recommend if you want to read a warm shounen-ai. <<less

This novel is too good. Kudos to the author for writing consistently from start to finish. The premise is creative. Most novels that I read typically has the rich ML and poor MC trope but this one is the reverse. An excellent, entertaining, light read indeed.

Ahhh this was such an adorable story! Although the initial mystery of the MC possessing the ml's Tmall Genie is left unsolved, the overall story was still good. Mc's interactions with ML through the Tmall Genie are also quite funny.

Spoiler

ML asks MC to speak/sing in English, and MC normally responds by singing an 'annoying' song or flat-out saying that they can't.

[collapse]

Though, the moment of confession wasn't very satisfactory, as it was just
Spoiler

oh yeah, btw I possessed your Tmall Genie

[collapse]
the build-up of their love is actually pretty fluffy. If I can tell the build-up, it is fairly obvious. &Lt;I can't normally tell that they are gaining feelings, only when they get together am I like, oh wow cute they like each other, then it goes back to huh right, they're supposed to be in love. Anyways, to whoever is reading this before actually reading the story, ignore all reviews and try it yourself first, you might think differently after all. <<less

Finally I completed reading it, it was such a sweet story.

It was a wonderful story with enough fluff, slice of life, romance and friendship. I enjoyed every secret of it, a simple and light read.

Both the ML and MC were way too cute especially MC he was a living angel always helping others and taking revenge to those who hurt his friends.

... more>> ML was so nice and cute yet possesive and caring person. They both made a perfect match for each other.

I am not read the story about his friend yet, will surely read it in future but not now as I wish to read something new.

I wished there were few more extra chapters of their after cohabitation life, what about their kid?? Did they have one?

Ahhh it was shounen ai ಥ_ಥ I really wanted some spicy scenes though.

Anyway I liked it and would highly recommend it to all of u who came for a light read and fluff,

Thanks author and translators for the hard work. <<less

I truly enjoyed reading this novel. Our Fei Fei was so endearing and the way he responded to the schemes of others was truly commendable. For someone so privileged, he was always able to consider the big picture and was able handle the challenges he encountered. I also appreciate our dedicated and loving Bian Bian. He grew up so well and his character development was engaging. Moreover, the fact that their small circle of friends and family supported them was an icing to the cake.

This novel deserve a 10 stars!!!

This was such a fantastic read. It ticked off every single box I needed. The characters were so likeable, the story sweet, and my day was spent squealing.

If you want to see a gradual development, instead of insta-love, with a healthy relationship. This is it.

The main leads are also very likeable. They are both so good in different ways and it is so great to see their dynamic.

... more>> I also really like MC's friends, they were very fun to read about.

The fluff! So good, my mother thought someone was dying with how loud I was screaming.

There is only one nitpick I had but it's pretty minor, and not really a detriment to the story, just a slight dislike of how it is portrayed. This most likely won't affect someone's reading experience but might just irk some people.

Spoiler

I don't quite like how ML's father was treated. There was fault to be found with him, sure, but the same can be said for ML's mother and her 'choices'. I admire her strength but I also wish she took a different route when raising ML.

The apathy ML has toward his father is understandable. He didn't know this man all his life and isn't obligated to care for him. My issue is the novel's tone clearly indicating that we should be blaming ML's father for not being there in his life than feeling sorry for him not knowing his son existed.

[collapse]

All in all, if you're in for a story that'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, try this out.

Note to self: Re-read worthy. <<less

The story was nice with an easy going and calmly placed rhythm and plot. The characters each had separate personalities which really played out with the sequence of this story which I greatly enjoyed.

The relationship between the MC and ML gives a very sweet vibe between them as they both mutually hold each other in great regards as they get to explore their friendship through out the story.

The thing that took points away is the ml’s relationship with his father, it greatly pissed me off.

The mothers actions were poor and... more>> left the father in an unfortunate situation that was completely unfair towards him.

I’m also greatly disappointed in the aunt as well. While I get losing a family member is hard she had no right to insult or accuse the father of things he had no control over as the mother literally kept the ML away from him.

Not to mention she ran away just because the father had no intention to marry or settle down with her yet even though they were both freshly graduated.

The funny part is he didn’t even say he wouldn’t marry her, he was just unready and I get it many people marry late as they need more time to make such big life decisions, and realistically it’s very uncommon for people in their early 20s to marry so young.

Her reasoning was selfish and unfair and most annoyingly as you get farther into the story it’s obvious that the father was completely in love with her and given time would have married her if she didn’t runaway.

The mother didn’t inform the father about the ml’s existence and he wouldn’t have realized about it since both him and the mother were taking birth control and other medication as they were together. Yet despite this the aunt still throws accusations towards the father who was uninformed of anything about the mother being pregnant with the ml.

She also refused him to be able to search about her background and information so either way he wouldn’t have been able to find her or the ml. If the mc’s parents haven’t said anything to the father he would have never realized that the mother died or they had a son together.

Anyways good story, good characters not that good of a mother.

I give this story a 4.7 <<less

To be honest, it’s more like 3.75 but let’s put it 4 rating. This story is a slice of life with slow pace, late romance and a bit of mystery.

A heartwarming flavor is always there as you read it, and dog-food is sufficient.

Can’t say there is something special and some people might even find it a bit boring, but I like it. It’s a good way to relieve your melancholy mood and warm your heart.

... more>> Almost no drama, only a needed amount in some places.

The relationship is not hot, but more mature and sweet.

My heart is very happy for ML, he really deserves it all.

(Some spoilers ahead)

This was one of the best reads for me. This novel encompasses a whole variety of emotions and myraids of feelings. There was no particularly tragic part in it but it sometimes made me cry, specially when ML rejected MC when he wanted to visit his house for the first time. The words that author used to describe ML's bitter and depressing feelings at that moment truly touched me, ML didn't want to invite MC to his house cuz it was way too small compared to... more>> MC's and he didn't want to bring his 'Prince' in such a crude place.

The whole novel goes from showing the beginning of their friendship to the love they developed for each other. There was innocent and pure friendship in the beginning which slowly turned into love between them. Did ML first fall in love? Not necessarily, tho he did confess first but MC unlike how he usually rejects confessions didn't do so, rather he was confused. For MC this was a first time being confessed by a boy and even if he liked ML he didn't realize it yet, luckily they didn't keep it suspense for long and he agreed in 2 days.

This is a fluffy, lighthearted novel, there is no angst, no dramas getting stretched for long, the ML is not perfect nor is MC but they're willing to accompany each other and help overcome it...

I saw a comment that said "the only downside of this novel is that ML isnt rich so he can't spoil the shou" I would disagree, if you want then go read an overbearing tyrant or CEO novel and not this. The ML of this novel is as perfect as it could get. He's portrayed as someone who doesn't care about people but when it comes to the person he likes he could get anxious and nervous too, displaying the sensitivity of a 17 y/o. This novel could get a bit boring for some people used to reading dramatic BL novels, during that time just switch to reading another novel or manhwa for a couple of hours.

The translation was done beautifully, each and every sentence was truly remarkable. The love words, ML describing his feelings, the pain and anxiousness and the difference in class and status. The words used to describe them made me feel butterflies in my stomach lol. Imma go ahead and read the other novel of Wen Mingyi and his Ge, have high hopes for it. <<less

Completed, didn't read extras. A great read!! MC possessing ML's Tmall Genie/something like Alexa or Google Assistant isn't that relevant to the plot, at first it was mentioned a lot but it started getting lesser. I think it's just there to help the relationship, nothing else, but not in a bad way. I actually like that it isn't the main focus of the novel and the relationship between MC and ML is too cute!! Sometimes my heart melts reading about how ML dotes on MC so much and how MC... more>> isn't too nosy about ML's private affairs. The things MC says to ML is really sweet and they care for each other so much. I think you can kind of see how MC slowly starts to feel more comfortable around ML and I think that's sweet.

So, 9/10 would recommend to people who want to see a sweet couple caring for each other. <<less

I actually really enjoyed the MC and his relationship in this novel. There are a couple things that aren't fully explained (why did he inhabit the tmall machine?!), but overall, it was a really enjoyable story. The side characters were great as well.

If the story had ended 20 chapters early, I would have given it 5 stars. The translation was amazing - lots of really good context on cultural references.
Spoiler

However, I thought how the mother was portrayed as if she was perfect and could do no wrong was strange. What's wrong with her boyfriend not wanting to marry, even after 3 years of dating? If the couple loves each other, they'll talk through it. Some things need time, and marriage is that thing for many people. A forced marriage, where one person doesn't really want it, isn't great for either party. But rather than have that difficult talk, the mother decides she knows what her boyfriend will do and runs away. To get back at him for not wanting marriage? To make sure he regrets not wanting to tie the knot with her?

And the ML acts horribly - sure, he's a stoic character who doesn't care about others, but not caring about your biological family, and making them grovel to be able to see you, just because your mother ran away rather than telling the father about his own child, seems like a misdirection of anger. I found it ridiculous that the ML is portrayed as generous just because he is willing to even talk with his biological family. They did nothing wrong, they owe him nothing. Why is he acting as if he's doing them a huge favor by not holding a grudge and allowing them to speak to him? The way he acts when he is "not holding a grudge" seem like the way most people when they despise someone.

In general, I thought the ML acted like a privileged jerk. He acts as if other people catering to him is a given. People should know they can't talk to him - they're all wastes of time. If anyone wants something from him, they'd better beg and act according to his demand first. While I admire his ability to stand up for his aunt, I think someone with his mentality is quite selfish.

Honestly, the ML was full of contradictions. He didn't think he's good enough for the ml, but acts as if he's too good to bother with anyone else. He's grown up middle / lower class, without much money, but keeps wanting to treat others. He needs to pay off debts, but won't accept the standard wage for tutoring.

I had to drop it because of the plot line about the ML's parents. I dislike his deceased mom so much.

... more>>
Spoiler

So ML doesn't have a father because acc to his mom, he (the father) doesn't need us. So I was thinking, probably those typical s*um who had to marry someone else who matches his status so ML's mom ran away while pregnant etc etc the usual trope. But it turns out, the mom and dad just broke up because the dad didn't want to marry and have children while the mom wanted to and thinks that dad didn't love her as much. So they broke up (dad thinks it's just a cool off). Mom apparently was already pregnant. Didn't tell the dad for 18 yrs even though she knew she was gonna die from illness and was gonna leave the ML an orphan.

But oh well, the mom has a sister so she left ML w her lol. There is a series of misfortune which basically leaves ML in his current position (poor and in debt).

And I just can't be reconciled that this is the result of the mom's pettiness and irresponsibility. But ML is ok now bec of the MC. No thanks to the mom who just said, let's leave it to fate whether my child and his dad will meet in this lifetime. Imagine that. Not telling ur ex that you have a child with him just because said ex wanted to be marriage free and child free.

If I were the ML, I would have resented her (ofc he won't since he's the ML). So many unnecessary suffering bec ur mom is too idealistic and didn't hesitate to leave him behind.

Btw if ur blaming the dad because he didn't mention that he didn't want to get married and form a family in their 3 year relationship, I counter you, why didn't the mom mention it earlier when it's apparently such big deal for her. Also, those saying dad should've mentioned it is operating on the assumption that marriage and having children are the end point of all romantic relationships. Mind you, they were also in their early or mid 20s I think (it was mentioned that the marriage talk happened just a year after they graduated).


It's so messed up, I just couldn't continue to read. Even though I realized I was in the last few chapters. Too turned off to continue.
[collapse]

You can also notice the author's shallow take on poverty. Which I get! Because poverty is ugly and if you portray it too realistically, readers are going to be uncomfortable. But in my case, I was uncomfortable how it's basically just an accessory and plot device.

Spoiler

So ML here is a poor but genius student. He's aloof and doesn't get along well w his classmates. In fact, before the MC, he has no friends despite the efforts of many, many students around him to befriend him. He has 2 part time jobs. He works during lunch break for an hour (lol can u believe that) and after school every f*cking day. He gets home late to do his homework but he has super good memory (of course he does) so it's a breeze. He's calm, collected, and prideful. He won't accept help from others that he thinks are excessive. He starts liking the MC and when the latter got injured, he offered to drive him back to his house using a bicycle.

It's cute right? Except that I think, what in the fairy land world is this?! (I know it's fiction) But ML's poverty here just really seems lyk an obvious plot device and a decoration. Normally, there should've been tiredness from his work load, breakdowns because even if you're a genius, homework would still be tiring. Imagine, everyday he just eats for lyk 15 minutes because he works during lunch time. Who wouldn't be tired after doing that for years!! Add to the fact that ML wasn't really poor before. From comfort to destitute poverty, but I didn't really see his struggles. No tiredness, no sickness, no jealousy or envy, no insecurity, he just didn't seem human to me. He's a male lead.

The author didn't fully delve on the Tmal genie possession thing that leaves me wondering as to why it suddenly happened to the MC, but oh well!

[collapse]

The MC is such a sweetheart and naive, our ML is your typical "only sweet to the one he likes and cold to other's" type. There's a little bit of problem in between but it's not something that I would call dog blood drama or anything like that, it's not too bad imho.

There's a balance of everything, it's not too fluffy. The interaction is sweet and both are very understanding, protective and doting. I love Shuang Shuang, he's a little ball of sunshine,
Spoiler

I was so angry when he was bullied by his cousin (hamburger incident). Lmao!

Overall, aside from the Tmall genie thing, I think this is an okay read if you want something to pass your time, chapters are really short too. That said, give it a try! <<less

One of the most in depth translations I've seen! Kudo's to the translator, and I sure hope it doesn't get taken down anytime soon.

As for the story, unlike the silly premise that it's titled for, this is one very cute couple story where the MC's really take their time to fall for one another in a satisfying slow burn. It was actually quite strange just how little the possession plot point affected the story. YuFei did an excellent job not letting the secrets he found out as the Tmall genie... more>> slip through into everyday life... To the point that it almost felt pointless for him to have possessed it in the first place. It really just felt like a cheesy way for the author to force a relationship.
Spoiler

Then the whole thing got tossed in the later half of the novel when the relationship started to get serious anyways.

[collapse]

Despite saying that, it was a great read with a nice cast. The friends are nice and supportive, although placed to the back burner once the romance kicks off near the end. The whole pace of the novel speeds up a LOT after the confession, so the ending comes off a bit weaker than the process to get there. <<less

Actually I wanted to give it 3 stars but apparently I have fat fingers...

Anyway, it was ok. The plot was so so, as there was no real obstacles. A bit to much stereotype and naivety (way to far from real life romances).

Also the tmall genie was not really necessary to the plot development. Not sure why the author saw the need to build it in, unless she wanted to push the connection between those two without any real resolution.

It was Almost Perfect and I Love it sooooo much!!!

Our MC was Super Easy Going. Surprisingly Very Patient and GREAT Temper! He's also very Devoted in helping ML as much as he can but not in Forceful way. He tried to make it subtle. And end up get the Benefit of it. He get ML as his Tutor, and his English study getting better and better.

With all that, he end up also Protective of ML. But not in exaggerating way. He's the type who won't... more>> make problem big as long as other don't start first.

There's even Faceslappings, but it shown in Graceful Super Satisfying way!!!

But yeah, sadly it's only Almost perfect.
Spoiler

I don't know if the Extras would mention it, but in the main story the didn't; about the Tmall Genie.

There's no mentioned of how and why MC temporarily possessed the Tmall Genie. Also no mentioned of how and why the Possession suddenly stopped since he sleep over in ML's house. The Tmall Genie even can't work anymore. Just why???

[collapse]

Anyway so far I truly Adore and Loving the main story. I'm waiting for someone to translate the Extras. Hope the rest get even better!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Finished at 19 July 2022:

Okay, thank god the Author did not diappoint us!
Spoiler

We the Coming Out moments, and it was Pretty good!!!

We also get MC reveal the Magical Truth of what happened in their High School aka him Night shift as Tmall Genie to ML.

Sadly Mystery still Mystery. BUT it was still Satisfactory that all Secrets are Revealed in the end!

If you are okay with slow burn, it's a sweet slow burn. No major villains.

About ml's family, I've read a comment saying that it's not anyone's fault (Not his mother or father) but I disagree with it. If his father had told his mom earlier that he does not plan to marry her, she won't have to suffer this much.
