Heart Has Ling Xi

Description

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

Ling Xi was discovered by a talent scout in an underpass.

His personality was optimistic, silly and his appearance delicate and pretty. Ling Xi who could only compose music and write lyrics, did not manage to be a superstar. His record sales were not very good and could only float in the entertainment world where newbies are always coming in. Until his agent used all his effort to obtain a job for him – to perform the ending song of a xian xia show and act a small role in it.

An Ruifeng was an extremely popular idol male god with a mixed-race appearance. Even though he debuted not long ago, he had the looks, the talent and a good background. Such a gifted person would have a number of rivalry scenes with Ling Xi in the show.

But what surprised Ling Xi even more was, the mighty An Ruifeng was actually very kind to a humble, insignificant singer like him, and willingly let him hug his golden thigh to increase exposure!

Super cute!!

The MC is super funny and sunny, and during the low points he and the ML and their agents support each other, and also a super plus that a lesbian character exists in the story!

In the words (translated) of the author: 'They are two completely different people that happen to cross paths.

They happily fell in love. I hope you like it.'

Translator: 'Ling Xi (MC) has taught me that letting go isn't always a bad thing.'

... more>> ***

The secondhand embarrassment starts strong in this one. Face palm from c1. But this is absorbed into the theme fairly quickly and well. This is a satisfying sweet story of non-Gary Su's. MC, ML are not OP. Good. More slice-of-life than romance, making a nice change.

Character growth for the good guys. Sweet stuff. <<less

Really don't judge something by its cover 😭😭

From the synopsis of the story and poster, I think this story will be quite sad with a protracted conflict.

but just from the first 3 chapters, I have already fallen in love with this story 😭😭😭

I think the character is the most ridiculous, badass, annoying in a sweet way but the one I like the most is Jian Rong (I can do it).. It turns out that if I had to choose now, I would be really confused. Ling Xi is truly a... more>> ridiculous character that is very, very, very refreshing 😭😭.. They are both MC characters that no one can hate.

Their storyline is simple, their characters are very strong even though the story is very short. ML is very strong even though he has to struggle, and their story is also very real.

really a very entertaining short story ❤️ <<less

I enjoyed reading this a lot.

I love how refreshing and different the MC's way of responding to certain circumstances. This novel shows how letting go of something you've been passionate about for a very long time is not actually a bad thing and can even lead to a more optimistic and better outcome.

I also love how supportive and understanding the ML, agents, and parents of MC.

This is a good read and I highly recommend this.

This novel is like a nice drink you ordered randomly, you heared it was good and so you decided to trust the other customers. It was a pleasant surprise. It's so refreshing and it rlly makes your whole body feel cooled down but also warm to your core. You can't help but smile when you drink it. The way it is just presented as well, you can't help but laugh. It's just a drink, yet it makes you feel things. It's just so good but every cup can be emptied... more>> and you'll eventually reach the bottom. You mourn it's size but you understand that had it been any bigger, you'd probably get bored of it. Since of course, you genuinely enjoyed it for what it is. It has been perfectly mixed and was served on the size that was just right.

So when asked by the owner to leave a review, you did. Even if it was 2 am after staying up to finish the drink.

Tldr: totally deserving of a 5 star. One of the few novels that actually made me laugh too, I enjoyed it a lot.

Side note: Also. Just refreshing in general. MC and ML both have their philosophies and know what they like and pursue it. They exist as well written characters and aren't just summed up as a CP as their whole personality. ML has flaws and isnt perfect and all that that those standard gong mls usually get described by. Mc's way of life actually made me reflect on myself haha. Mind you that youll enjoy the side characters just as much. <<less

Refreshing to say the least.

Both the MC and ML acts like human beings who has ups and downs in their life. And not some unshakeable upper being just, because they are the main characters.

Especially the ML. I can not emphasie enough how much I've appreciated the fact that the ML also has his own struggles‍, but isn't haughty about it and doesn't act like an angry tsundere or something along that line. At the end of the day he is also a human.

Rather than acting like a strict TOP and... more>> BOTTTIM, they are more fluid and flexible in their day to day life.

Their straightforward communication, MC's very unusual but jolly personality and the overall feel good vibe that I get from their interaction is such a breath of fresh air for me.

The plot isn't overly complicated. But was an unexpected good read for me. I'm not very articulate, but tldr: would recommend. <<less

This story provides a different spin on the typical entertainment industry setting. We actually do see the characters develop throughout the story and the actions that they take do have some basis, not just randonly done. It's a bit more realistic in that sense, but there are still some times when plot points are a bit out there as these novels do.

I do like that MC decided to leave the industry as he discovered he didnt really like being in the limelight. It's also nice to see that the ML isn't some perfect being and he has his real struggles too. For example, ML had to grow from doing idol dramas to doig more seriois acting work. Also, he doesnt have unlimited power to do whatever he wants (he is fairly powerful in the indsutry but is advised many times not to do certain things to avoid potentially getting bad press)

On a side note, I also found it refreshing that although the MC and ML are described as good looking, the story does also mention their imperfections. Like acne scares, eye bags, etc.

[collapse]

If you are looking for a more lighthearted, comedic, fluffy story, then I would recommend you give this a try. I do warn that the story is longer than it seems though as the chapters are relatively long. <<less

I wanted to read something short and uncomplicated. Had this story on my reading list for a while now but neither the tittle nor the synopsis attracted me that much. I feel like I read enough of entertainment settings. But reading the reviews claiming this was all fluff and cute... why not? But it is not all fluff and cute... the MC is beautiful in all the meaning of the word. MC and ML are sweet and all but the story is more than that. They are a healthy couple,... more>> there’s no angst for the sake of stirring our hearts, there’s only a struggling beautiful singer who is a diamond. This story is quite special. <<less

This is very sweet. I like MC a lot but its very hard to be like him. ML also compliments him, they both are made for each other. This story does not have drama. Its story of letting go, of realizing that not everything can be attained in life and there is nothing wrong in retreating and following new opportunities. MC and ML's agents are also funny. The comedy is real, I really like Ling Xi and An Ruifeng. Its a short story which will make your heart melt and... more>> you will have a smile on your face while reading it. <<less

Yep, others may say that this is just another entertainment story but there is no huge face-slapping here, no huge revenge or anything... no protagonist halo at all. And it's good like that. Like the Golden Assistant, it's more realistic to read but the reality is not depressing. This is about a star who didn't reach success in the circle but left it instead with an open mind and a hopeful heart, and his oh-so inlove and understanding lover who respected his (MC's) decisions all throughout. Short, sweet and slightly... more>> seductive (ok, ok, hugely seductive but there were a few of those so...) Anyway, the story and translation's superb, and I never once thought to give up reading until the end. Thank you for this. <<less

No thoughts head empty

This is very good and has a silly MC who is my fave at this point.

The plot may be silly but it has a very good life lesson that etched in my mind. Letting go is not always cowardly, sometimes letting go may be the best decision based on circumstances you are going through. It's good to be ambitious, but be careful that your ambitions doesn't interfere your life.

ML is also my fave, like very doting, and goes along with silly remarks from his husband and love... more>> him lots.

Good read. 10/10 reread material <<less

This is honestly one of the best BL story that I have ever read. Both the Gong and Shou are incredibly lovable and believable characters. In fact, they're so far also my favorite Gong and Shou. They are of course stereotypicaly still good looking and talented in some things but they still have many flaws and quirks. Not Gary-stu at all. The Gong is also so loving to the Shou. No exaggerated black-bellied or overbearing CEO behaviour at all. He simply loves and Support MC as best as he can.... more>> MC is also not a shameless leach to the ML's power and money but he does still utilises it when necessary (or funny)

This is really such an underrated and not so well know story. If you want an easy and fun, warm story to read that won't take forever to finish then please by all means, read this story! 🥰 <<less

5/5 couple but in all honesty 3.5 story. Its a bit too simple and reuses the same jokes often and reads more like a slice of life at times

Spoiler

so the ending was... refreshing? I think it was good the MC took a break from the spotlight but at the same time it felt a bit meh. I guess they were going for realism but id like to hear how his fans liked hearing his music from streaming sites

[collapse]

beware there are s*x scenes only 2 but still. The ML is delightful, he wasn't toxic or forceful at all which is almost never seen. surprise sunrise MC actually *gasp* likes s*x and initiates it on his own??? I think it was a great touch. ML actually cares about MC and despite having desires he takes in consideration about his schedule, and not embarrassing him by having s*x with him and than let him walk around like a new born deer to let everyone and their mother know he's having s*x. Often times its just annoying reading "they cant walk for 3 days" irl that would be so inconsiderate and embarrassing.

ML is famous but he isnt all powerful there's only one "face slapping" scene (yes the ML initiated it) and it wasn't graphic to the point the other person had their entire life ruined. ML is supportive but the MC doesn't lose his independence because of it. <<less

If you're looking for fluff story, this might be one for you. I do get teary-eyed whenever the MC experienced unfair treatment due to his standing in showbiz, but it was really relatable because these stuffs really happens in real life (not just in showbiz).

I would like to be as carefree as the MC too, the way that he could look at life with such positivity. It somehow taught me that it is not the accomplishment that matters the most but the relationships and experiences. If you somehow fail, you... more>> can still give it a try. Step by step, and it might result in something good. If it doesn't go well, then it's not about giving up but looking at the different side of things. We tried, we might not get successful because that's life, but at least we tried and gained other things too. <<less

It's honestly been a long time since I've written a review, but seeing how many people don't know about this novel I feel like I need to.

How to explain what this novel is... on the one hand it is absolutely funny and the way in which the MC and the ML meet is absolutely hilarious, on the other hand it is capable of leaving you with wonderful life lessons.

If you think of the typical trope of climbing to the top of the entertainment industry, it really has nothing to do... more>> with it. That's what makes her absolutely beautiful. Ling Xi teaches you that letting go of certain things is okay and shows you an open mindset that is different from what anyone should learn. I love his character who seems goofy but not too goofy, who is straight forward with what he wants, the no-win mentality and how dedicated he is to what he loves. He is a simple but very formidable character which made me appreciate him a lot.

The ML is honestly one of the best I've seen. He is not a superman like almost all ML but a human, which makes him more real and more loved from my point of view. I love his personality and how sweet he was from the beginning with Ling Xi. Her partner is the perfect prototype of fluffy sweetness.

The plot can be considered as simple, because it has almost no drama or a high point but it is still incredible the teaching that this novel leaves and how pleasant it is to read. I think this is a must-read since I fell in love with Ling Xi, with the couple themselves and with all the characters who were not only secondary but a truly important part of the story.

If Ling Xi was a singer in real life, I would support him because I think his love for music and his character and outlook on life is hard to find in life.

You won't regret if you want to read this novel ;)

OMG!!! Toothache!! Kyahhhh!!!!

One of the most enjoyable story I have ever read. I now understand the high rating!

The story is hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. There's a lot of silly moments where you get second hand embarassment from the MC. Lol

I am so in love with the MC and ML's characters, they are very "human". I guess that's where the ratings are coming from. They are not your typical OP CP. The MC, is a 12 tier singer who's music can only be heard in two yuan stores... more>> and salons. He actually just wanted to create music and be heard, have a small group of fans who appreciates his music. He's very simple and his dreams are simple as well. Although from time to time he'd dream to have a little more, he's not the type who slump for a long time if he's not able to get them, his personality is like ray of sun always shining and giving warmth even in the darkest time.

Our ML, yes!!!!! I also love him as well, like our MC, he's not your typical OP, cold and over-bearing type. He experienced some down time as well from him transitioning to idol to "real" movie actor. He's very sweet and doting partner and very much supportive of his partner's decision, not the over bearing type.

And of course, Wu-ge and Xu-ge, they are the best! They treated the ML and MC like their own family especially Wu-ge. I laugh and cried with the MC-Wu-ge relationship, it's beautiful. I feel bad for our gege's because they were fed with dog food all the time. Lol

As I said, if you were looking for OP couples, this is not for you. This is heartwarming, and makes you sad for the MC up until almost at the end of the chapter, BUT thankfully, he followed his plan B and he was able to break free and be happy at last with the help and love of our ML! <<less

The comedy is EPIC

The story is wonderful

The fluff is so sweet till your teeth sour from their dog ab*se

The cliche in entertainment novel? The heavy drama and absurd timeline? Nope, you won’t find it here.

The translation is excellent

Finally, the rating given by the reader spoke for itself.
