After the Secrets of the Passerby Were Leaked, He Was Cherished by the Entire Family of Antagonists

Description

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

Contemporary college student Ye Leyao died suddenly from staying up late, and found himself transported into a world where several novels merged together, becoming the useless adopted son of the prestigious Huo family.

The good news is that, apart from him, everyone else in the family is a big shot. Eldest Brother Huo is a legendary figure in the business world, Second Brother Huo is a top actor in the entertainment industry, and Third Brother Huo is a skilled esports player and boss.

The bad news is, these big shots are all antagonists, and none of them have good endings.

Even worse news is that, upon waking up, he finds himself in the middle of a cheap romance involving Second Brother, who is oblivious to the fact that the child in his lover’s belly isn’t his seed at all!

Ye Leyao couldn’t help but scream inwardly: “Aaaaaahhhh—seriously? This romance-idiot still doesn’t know the child in his lover’s belly isn’t his?!”

All eyes in the family suddenly turn towards him. The second brother even stumbles.

Everyone: What?!

The top-tier Huo family adopted a young troublemaker some years ago.

Initially, nobody in the family paid him any mind. That is, until they could all hear Ye Leyao’s inner thoughts—

Just as Father Huo brings his down-and-out friend home.

Ye Leyao’s inner voice: “Oh, so this is the little seductress trying to seduce Father Huo, plotting to make Mother Huo and Father Huo divorce, and wrecking the Huo family?”

Father Huo’s pupils dilate: “!”

That night, before Ye Leyao can subtly hint to Mother Huo, the little seductress is personally “thrown” out by Father Huo.

During breakfast at home, Eldest Brother Huo takes a video call discussing crucial shipment matters with his assistant.

Ye Leyao perks up his ears, muttering to himself: “Why do I vaguely remember a typhoon changing course to pass through this route in a few days? Big Brother’s business deal is definitely going down.”

Eldest Brother Huo: “…”

He immediately changes the shipping route with his assistant. Sure enough, five days later, news came that the original route was hit by a typhoon.

Afterwards, Eldest Brother Huo transfers five million into Ye Leyao’s account. Ye Leyao is astonished.

Eldest Brother Huo tries to remain composed, saying calmly, “Take it, you’ve earned it.”

Third Brother Huo isn’t home often. After the league ends, he brings his newly recruited team members home for dinner. Just as they enter the house, Ye Leyao stares keenly at his new teammates.

Third Brother Huo is about to warn Ye Leyao against premature romance, when he hears Ye Leyao whispering in his mind: “They’re handsome alright, but unfortunately, they’re moles sent by the rival team.”

Third Brother Huo: “!!!”

That night, Third Brother Huo begins investigating and not only discovers that the new teammates are moles from the rival team, but also finds out that his most trusted assistant has been secretly gathering data on their team!

A week later, another ten million appeared in Ye Leyao’s account.

Ye Leyao, holding the money happily: “Third Brother, you’re more generous than Big Brother!”

Just then, Eldest Brother Huo passes by: “…”

As a supporting character in the novel, Ye Leyao’s biggest dream is to save up money and flee with his family of antagonists when they hit rock bottom. Little did he expect that all these villains in his family would not only avoid disaster but thrive in their careers, and he would end up soaring with them.

I really like the MC and his ambitions towards gossiping its funny and keeps us in the story. There isn’t much of a drama involving him he usually is a just bystander so I didnt feel any second hand embarrassment.

Spoiler

The only think disappoints me is that Song Zhehan ve Li Suyuan didnt end up together. I really think that they suit each other with their bickering and quite funny together 😔😔i feel heartbroken

Hilarious. The drama is literally everywhere in the best way possible and the MC runs around to watch it with the whole family following. I spent so much time laughing I could have lived with another 100 chapters of the melon eating fun. The end gets somewhat serious, but it's handed well enough it comes across as a somewhat bittersweet changed to sweet sendoff.

This is a silly comedy. It is funny and honestly I was laughing hysterically at each chapter 🤣 my stomach was hurting at some point.

You'll truly feel like a melon eater. But if you eat too much it'll hurt your body. At first MC doesn't actively seeks the gossip, he stumbles upon it & that's it, and most of the gossip is about face-slapping people with bad character, so it's funny! But them, some gossip is just violation of privacy :/ not really my vibe.

Another thing is that the... more>> main plot line & romance won't appear until the second part of the novel and at this point I'm already tired. And it's only hints! *biting handkerchief*

Some side couples are very interesting! I'm specially looking forward to see more of them since the main CP is still taking baby steps.

I like that MC's family are good people, they care for him and does not mind his silliness. They genuinely think of him as family. There's no envy, no rivalry, no disdain. I love it!

The ML is also a good person but I don't really know how to evaluate him 🤷🏽‍♀️

I recommend this novem if you want to laugh but I advise you to eat read slowly, taking breaks; because just like QT novels, this will mentally drain you hahaha <<less

Such a cool story! Interesting characters, with just the right amount of gossip. I had a great time laughing out loud, the last chapter made me shed a little tear. One of the best plot twists I've ever read.

I'm going to miss this story.

All in all, a no-holds-barred story that satisfied my craving for gossip. The main and secondary couples were too cute. The whole Huo family was hilarious, becoming gossip freaks as they heard Leyao's reflections.

It was so good!! It was so good until chapter 89 where the author put in a "plot twist" but really that plot twist is so overused in the BL world, it turned the whole story cliche. I love all the characters and everything was so fun to read and everyone is super hilarious.

Spoiler

But for frick's sake. WHY did the author suddenly break the story to write the main character as some type of system. COMPLETELY ruined the mood. It was way more exciting when the MC was just a normal person who had all the gossip.

[collapse]

And because the mood was ruined, I couldn't tolerate all the BL side couples. To be fair, the BL side couples in this story were FAR better than any side couples in ANY other story but why can't the author just stick to the MC and ml?! But that's just my personal thing against BL side couples being present.

Spoiler

ABSOLUTELY CAN'T TOLERATE THE CLICHE PLOT TWIST THOUGH!

LOL everyone was so messy. I loved the dynamic of the family and MC, so sweet. Also the romance was super slow until they got together at like 3/4 of the way through the story. Although some of the rumors and melon scenes were kinda cruel they were still entertaining. But it kinda got repetitive towards the middle bit but if you persevere, you’ll be rewarded. Ong was a good read, I smiled, laughed, cringed, and cried.

Eating melons along with the characters was an amazing experience. Finally a story where you didn't have to worry about the characters, that is until the plot twist. Such a fresh read! I must say I expected some kind of plot twist but nothing I thought of matched the actual twist, haha!

Last few chapters of the main story made me cry. Le Yelao is truly ... more>>
Spoiler

an amazing system! The fact he not only fell in love, but spent so much time grinding away to be able to save his love and be together with him without sacrificing either of them is amazing. Our cute system finally grew up! I'm glad he didn't break after cradling the dead body of his love twice, would have been a lot more tragic if we had PTSD and psychological issues added to this (not that I would mind reading it!).

I really tried my best to reach the ending, but after around ch 50, I lost interest towards this webnovel. I already read the spoiler from another user, and that's actually a really good plot twist, but after reading 81 chapters, and only need to read a little bit more, I can't finish it. I feel like I am wasting my time, and I am forcing myself too much

Idk why I can't finish it, even though I also love this kind of genre (My fav is Echoes of My Heart... more>> Throughout the Court), but I can't finish this one

I'll put this comment here, so if I want to go back reading, I'll know which chapter I should pick up.

Spoiler

MC has 3 brother who lack personlaity and love life, and he also has ML, a rich handsome guy (obviously), that after almost 100 ch, I still can't really see him as individual. Too many BL couple and lack of BG couple, is typical of this kind of genre, but I don't really like that, , MC tried to understand his feelings toward ML, and I guess I know why I feel like MC doesn't really has familial feelings toward his own family after reading a spoiler he is actually a super system. You can't expect system to have feelings

Rated 5 stars

My first ever review after reading lots of novel and all I can say this is totally worth the read.

Each character is really well developed with their own back stories. Though you may find the gossiping part abit repeative but it fits into the plot perfectly for a reason. And the gossiping chapters are super hilarious and continuous to the point that I spit my water out while reading.

... more>>
Spoiler

The plot twist at the ending really threw me off and I totally cried my eyes out, especially when Qin Yao died, gave a name to L1 aka LeYao. And then LeYao efforts to save Qin Yao from his destined death by going through a sh*t ton of small worlds to accumulate points and then proceeds to take QinYao's place to die so that the plot point could move for word without QinYao dying. But all in all, the part that hurt the most was L1 learning emotions, becoming LeYao and having to see the person he love die 3 times in front of him even though he was a system who was considered almighty. His pain was felt very clearly and after laughing my ass off for so many chapters this heartache came with my tears pouring like heavy rain.

[collapse]

All in all, I super highly recommend this novel, if you enjoy face slapping as a bystander and tons of gossip, you should most definitely read this. <<less

It's really hard for me to figure out how to review this, because it essentially feels like two completely different stories. One, which is a fluffy but repetitive episodic entertainment/CEO drama that's a bit more of a brain off light read. And the other which is honestly one of my favorite dramatic tragic romances that I've read.

It's hard for me to encourage people to keep reading even if they don't like the first few episodic arcs, because the twist happens so far into the story. There are definitely some of... more>> the episodic arcs I like more than others, the ones that center around the main cast are much more interesting than the ones that center around random people. There are also many arcs where the MC doesn't actually affect anything, he's just there to watch and if the arc isn't actually interesting it feels slow.

But if you can stick through it, I think it's worth it. On a whole it feels like a 3/5, it's ok. But the twist is a 5/5 for me. <<less

It was mostly hilarious - the last 10% did take a sudden turn and become serious, but it was an interesting twist. I can see why some people feel it's a bit repetitive, and there were moments where I rolled my eyes because the plot was a bit excessive, but the point was that this was a mash up of common dumb tropes in novels 🤷🏻‍♀️

Spoiler

Regarding the apparent controversy about the ED... I agree with the other reviewer that says that it is open to interpretation on whether the character actually has an ED or not. Obviously readers that are sensitive about such topics have chosen to believe that she did have a disorder. Personally, I think there is a difference between being psychologically compelled to eat a certain way to maintain an image and doing so out of vanity, and I think the character was doing the latter. I do think hers was an odd "gossip" to point out, though it could be that the author was trying to figure out diverse scandals to start with. And Song Zhehan was delighting in perversely unmasking other people to let out the stress of his own mask.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I would also note that for those claiming he shouldn't have dragged all the gossip out for the world... I think they were always going to be revealed in their respective storylines, often with more damaging effects on the "good" characters. As is revealed later, this is how the various storylines get fixed in this messed up world. The author regretted writing such tragic endings, but because the stories were entwined, they needed careful manipulation to change. Maybe the fake foodie was only unmasked after it was too late for her to recover, so this turned out better 🤷🏻‍♀️ even though its not nice, it can have positive outcomes.

[collapse]

I liked that netizens started using MC as a tell for sensing juicy gossip, noticing when he was snickering to himself and who he looked at. There are a few inconsistencies and annoying bits, but I was greatly entertained and appreciate this kind of short, fully translated novel, so 5 stars is deserved. <<less

It really good light read and to no think too hard. I like "multi protagonist (plot) scheme "like white love stand but twist, twin sibling face slip their family as hot gossip story. MC always there in hot gossip moment so I feel like family able "hear" MC thoughts that make more comedy.

Author did have twist in end that connect most gossip cases. I like that part little blah but make sense for novel. I love sequel to back some hot gossip couples background for what happens next.

Overall, it... more>> was good read for me and I would give this 4.5 star. I did enjoy and had good laugh in each hot gossip moment. I look as silly/family moment/feel good face slap gossip moment. For romance, I would say it not really bother me that it not main story because it will more after half. However, mc/ML have their chemistry moment by in each hot gossip moment.

So, my suggest is to read few chapters to see if you like writing/ light vibe and don't think too hard for some moral or "villain/ side character" flaws. <<less

So, at last I have come into the controversial chapter.

All the chapters before this are truly entertaining, I can't put the novel down.

But the controversial topic here somehow made me deeply reflected.

As someone who (maybe) doesn't have ED, I am a bit confused.

(why 'maybe'? Because I thought Yang Qi didn't have ED and it turns out many people said it is an ED.)

There's this part in the novel:

... more>>
Spoiler

"Anyone who's watched Yang Qi's live stream knows she can eat a lot. But that Ye whatever Yao is laughing for no reason, like he's got some big disease."

[collapse]

If she did induce vomiting to go 'viral' or 'popular' or something like that, honest to say, in my opinion it is indeed wasting food.

One reviewer said, it is an ED 'for whatever reasons', whether being forced or aware or not aware. So I guess Yang Qi is indeed has ED and in the 'aware' category. As someone who loves food, I know societal pressure nowadays is truly extreme. I have two boxes of food and my senior at workplace commented in shock "You eat two boxes?! Wow", like I'm some weird beings. (Well, one of the boxes is for my dinner, thank you very much).

So, back to Yang Qi. She is 'aware', okay. She did that because of social pressure of having great figure, okay (because after my senior said that I don't dare put two boxes blatantly on my table, I will put one somewhere first. It's ridiculous but that's what happened. Even if they shut their mouth, their eyes still saying something. So I understand social pressure). But I think hard and tried to reason from every angle I can think of, and my conclusion is saying she is wasting food is not wrong.

Especially, as what I put in the 'spoiler' box, it seems like she did that as a living? (or at least a part-time income).

But I agree the laughing is not needed. It's not something funny.

People are differents and have their own brain circuits, so please don't say it's not wasting food even though it is.

I will be frank, I even thought for a moment, 'why don't I try to induce vomiting after eating for diet', then I slapped myself and put down that ridiculous thought. My trigger for that is because 'it's an ED and doesn't categorized as wasting food. It's not wasting food so why not?' That's why I reflected in myself and my conclusion is even if it's ED, the food is not digested either (so it is wasted), especially if it is 'induce vomiting manually' (like putting your fingers in your mouth / punching your tummy / by drugs), not because your body automatic reaction in trying to get the food out.

Yes, ED should be treated and not something to be laughed at. But ED is one part, and other statement is another part (in this case the 'not wasting food' statement).

You never know what will trigger other people. I'm positive that the reviewers didn't mean to trigger others. I'm just saying this so other 'triggered people' will think again..

Another thing, any kind of disorders are not subjected to ridicule or humour, but back to my 'people are differents' statement, some people put themselves as having disorder deliberately (like manually induce vomiting) for their own gain. And not surprisingly, these people are mostly the one who get 'famous'. So no wonder the majority have bad impressions. That's why the people who truly need support is subjected to negative rumours.

I don't know which kind Yang Qi is because her part is too few and mostly told in MC's point of view. But if she is the kind who use moral support to continue the disorder and making money from it, then this people is not worth your defense. It will only make people who are against it become more against. A vicious cycle where it will backfire to the one who truly needs help, the one who you want to defense.

Spoiler

And readers, I will be real frank here. Some who defense Yang Qi might or might not be the very person I just describe.

Sorry if it's coming out of nowhere but I'm not targeting anyone, just saying to clear your mind and think clearly. I have seen real case like that and I hate manipulative / hypocrite people so I need to say it.

You can consider others' point of view but don't blindly support or not support because of majority.

That's also include everything I said here, of course.

[collapse]

Does Yang Qi deserve to be kicked out of entertainment industry because of this? Depends. I'm not Yang Qi, I don't know full story, the data is too few to make an objective conclusion.

But if it is 'my opinion', well she's not. I agree with what some reviewers said. She doesn't deserve to have career death because of this. Sadly, environment, options / backing, and luck play major role. Especially when it comes to 'public opinion' or 'social pressure', it needs all three (and maybe more) to conquer.

Oh yeah, the comments in the novel are truly sharp and anger-inducing. But... those're netizens. <<less

I hardly ever write reviews but oh gosh. I would regret it if I didn’t oh gosh i’m literally sjdjksjsjsks

At first I thought this would be another face slapping comedic novel but it was just so much more then that. I’ll do my best to explain my feelings without using spoilers but the way my heart was wrenched multiple times. I’m a sensitive person so that might just be me but I cried like fifteen times, no exaggeration, while reading this. There are many CPs and lemme tell you, those... more>> extras? Gut wrenching.

This novel is just so so so so good. I love it so immeasurably. The way the author described for us the pain of separation, the hope for a promise that was made, the desperation in one’s heart, the pure pain after losing someone.

I might be exaggeration to some but this novel just made me experience so much. It’s currently four in the morning, I have work in two and a half hours. I feel nauseous but so so happy to have stumbled across this novel. The biggest, most glad, most thankful THANKS to the Translators for giving me the wonderful opportunity to read this and THANK YOU author. You are so very very talented, thank you for creating this masterpiece. <<less

I read all the comments and I was hesitant at first to read this. But here's my thoughts not elaborate ofcourse since I'm not good in that. But here:

I enjoy it. Its like a compilation of short stories which it is. Basically those stories are plots. Not happening in reality but base on stories. Why those readers being hard on themselves and not enjoy it? Some is like hypocrites as if they didn't laugh on failures of others, or backstab someone they hate. And for the record those characters are... more>> public figures and shooting a variety show whether they like it or not they will be shown in public and privacy will always be invaded that's how entertainment is. They didn't even elaborate the gossiping like happening in other countries in reality. And if you read more stories this is nothing really you're just being sensitive on what you read. And lot's of reader here seems been affected on the foodie, but just letting you know a lot of food asmr vlogger manipulate there viewers like how they enjoy food but basically they throw it up afterwards just for the views. Accept it. That's what's most of them doing and it's a choice.

and for the overall stories:

It's a bit unique really. And accept it if you're a passerby and had the gossip on hand would you really not be curious about what's going to happen? And yes they can prevent it but why would they? Like the title said they're just passerby. They know what's going to happen but if you put yourself in the position would you really step in? For me NO. I would gossip but I wouldn't get involved in someones business really. Especially those cheaters and bullying. I will watch their downfall with popcorn on hand.

I love the twist. <<less

I love this novel so much 😭 From the MC to ML to the MC’s family and friends. Everyone was so funny and loveable in my opinion, I sped read through this in a week which I don’t normally do as I leave most novels I read uncompleted before starting another one because I get bored in the middle. But this novel had so much gossip and drama in it that I couldn’t bring myself to start a different novel lol.

Though in the beginning all the drama coming one after... more>> another was a bit overwhelming but in the end you’d get used to it and look forward for the next drama haha.

The MC and ML are a total green flag couple bro their sooo cute! And the side couples are also very funny and cute.

I don’t write reviews much so this might not seem like a proper review but it’s just my opinion so please if you don’t like the novel then just drop it instead of leaving 1 star reviews. It’s not for everyone, but some people like these types of novels. I almost considered not reading when I read reviews but thankfully I still read it 🥰. <<less

Reading through just to see how it'll end. Not really re-readable as many comments mentioned some of the more uncomfortable storylines and overall repetitive.

MC and family go to experience drama firsthand and... that's literally it. Wondering when the MC's family and ML tell MC that they could hear his inner voice but other than that, no intrigue and I find myself skipping through the plot. I will say though, I like MC's obliviousness and how that attributed to MC and ML getting together.

Low score not even because of some of... more>> the content, just because its getting boring. <<less

This novel is super hilarious. I loved it. It’s my second time reading this melon king troupe And I sure love it.

the whole family is super cute and I just love it.

the gossip is related to each other in most ways so it doesn’t feel out of the blue or random.

the translation is so well done, I’m reluctant to go MTL as usual. So ill wait for the translation to be done to come bck.

overll it’s a light read with super fun moments.
