Description

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

Xie Yang struggled in the post-apocalyptic world for many years until he was too tired to go on. Then he transmigrated into a young adult entertainment circle novel where the protagonists have easy, sweet, and satisfying lives.

The male protagonist of the novel is not just handsome and smart, he’s also reborn. The female protagonist of the novel is not only beautiful and works hard towards her dreams, she also has a cheat in her hands.

There’s a lot of male and female supporting roles, each having pretty face, nice figures and someone strong behind them. Get into any one of their bodies, and he could close his eyes and just enjoy life. But he didn’t. Instead he transmigrated into a young idol secretly married to the biggest villain of all — the male protagonist’s maternal uncle.

His title is husband but it’s more like a nurse. Because this novel’s biggest villain is a terminally ill patient who is gloomy and sick in the head (actually sick). Their marriage was to counter the bad luck (illness).

Xie Yang: Who cares if you’re the male lead, female lead, male supporting, female supporting, villain or protagonist. Get in the way of my comfortable life and you’ll die (:

Beautiful, full to the brim with feelings. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews, go and read it to decide it's true value. The MC was smart and OP from the start (I love OP characters) but he decided on the ML since the beginning. The tsundere ML was precious, one of the few overbearing CEO that didn't care to show his feelings in front of his loved ones, I specially love how much he treasures his mom and his redeemed nephew. I cried many times, as much as... more>> I laugh with the protagonists interactions. Ibwont say it's a perfect story, it has his flaws but they were soon forgotten with the flow of the story. The translator did a great job, I marked it as completed but I'm still waiting for the extras. <<less

hands down one of my favourite stories. Love how well the ML and MC characters were delved into, practically love everything about this story. I keep coming back to it every few weeks ;)

Funny thing is I totally love face slapping and dog-blooded stories (this one is like that), but what I remember and love the most in this story is the relationship between the main couple :D

I swear I lost count how many times I re-read this novel. Xie Yang and Qiu Xing is definitely my comfort couple. I love them so much. The countless happiness and tears that I shed for this novel, nothing can compare with this.

For those who encountered this novel by chance and are considering whether to read or not, you SHOULD. Perhaps you will regret it later for not reading it earlier if you keeps delaying it. Haha I swear ah.

The plot, character, translations, and also setting is perfect. Everything is... more>> literally perfect. I'll be sure to come back later. Love them so much! <<less

4.5/5*

This novel has interesting character settings and plot development. The protagonists' equal power dynamics are wonderful, despite the MC initially showing more dominance in their relationship. I especially enjoy the interactions between the main CP in the early period, where they exchanged blows unscrupulously. It's really entertaining.

However, contrary to many previous reviews, I don't think the romance is that engaging, and the MC sometimes appeared to be quite inconsiderate.

Honestly, it feels strange every time I see the MC keep angering the ML, knowing that he has heart and brain problems... more>> and that slight emotional fluctuations can badly affect his health. Surely, the ML, too, has some anger management issues, but it's still somewhat excusable since sick people tend to get irritated easily.

To be honest, their relationship doesn't seem organic to me. Although the attraction is mutual, it can't be denied that the MC kind of forced the ML into a relationship when he's not ready instead of letting nature take its course.

Personally, I think the period of getting to know each other could be extended when one party still has baggage in his heart, not to mention the one as serious as the ML's. There is no point in rushing to define the status and put unnecessary pressure on your loved one, especially when there's already a certificate in hand. I just don't think the way the author built up their relationship is right, and this point keeps bothering me until the later part of the story.

I was pleasantly surprised by the second villain, though. He's really... unique. I initially thought the author's lost it when she suddenly introduced this character to seal off the relationship between the protagonists, but damn, his role is really interesting (and equally annoying, lol). He's really smart and careful. Even with pig teammates and the MC's golden finger, he can still do so much harm to the protagonist camp. I wish there were more brilliant villains like him. <<less

First Impression

I almost skipped this novel because I've seen so many with similar concept and summary, but decided to give this a shot because of the high rating... spoiler alert, I'm VERY glad I did, because this novel sure took me on an emotional rollercoaster.

The Plot

    • This novel has some supernatural (?) elements that would have been so out of place on a modern setting like this, but somehow the author made it work and adds to the charm of the novel.
    • It would've been easy for this to be melodramatic but it isn't! The heartwarming and tearjerker scenes are very sincere, and the amount of humor and face-slapping is just right too.
The MC

    • Another strong and clever protagonist that can stand toe to toe with the ML. More importantly, he can stand up for himself and will refuse to let the ML jerk him around.
    • Is naturally good at a lot of things, which does make plot points predictable, but that doesn't mean he still isn't fun to root for.
    • Not much importance is placed on the MC's backstory, which I'm a little disappointed about, but it didn't really affect the overall quality of the novel so I didn't mind it too much.
The ML

    • Possibly one of my favorite MLs of all time and the biggest surprise of this novel. He is a total TSUNDERE! He is such a wonderful combination of the classic cold and ruthless ML personality with an adorable and soft side to him. The softness is not calculated or only exclusive towards the MC either... he cares DEEPLY for people he considers his family.
    • Petty, and is a sour vinegar jar lmao. Will get scandalized if the MC starts acting shameless...
The CP

    • THE ROMANCE IS SO WELL WRITTEN! Their relationship really developed so organically. It started off from a business transaction and eventually they just became a pair of sweethearts who really embody the vows 'through sickness and health, for better or worse'.
    • The ML can be hot and cold, and the MC deliberately provokes him in return (at one point I'm pretty sure it can be called gaslighting), but within context it's understandable and in my opinion, neither of them did anything really toxic. They both work through issues together wonderfully.
    • Hilarious bickering and back and forth since the beginning (and it doesn't stop even after they got together).
Others

    • There are a lot of villains in the novel but ugh I feel like the
      Spoiler

      female lead really takes the cake. But the true villain is probably that creepy system. I do also feel like that plot point is left hanging a bit... like the MC's backstory there was a lot of potential to be explored there that sadly didn't amount to much.

      [collapse]
    • I'm reminded of how vicious social media can be. Like yikes. And I stan a kpop idol irl

The only goos thing about it was the initial MC and ml's interaction. But after halfway through the novel when they get together and the main villain is defeated, it becomes dull boring. Idk I guess the dog food is just not to my liking. Their interaction turns into ML getting jealous, MC teasing him. Constant mention of how they are holding hands, touching each other's faces, hair, legs blah blah. I can't keep up with crap.

4.5 stars

This has easily one of the best MC's I've come across. He's smart, a bit OP, but not a total Mary Sue, decisive, and just super competent overall.

ML is a described, a jar of 50% sugar, 50% vinegar. He is quite the tsundere, who needs to be coaxed every now and again, but he's really just a little mouse.

... more>> I love the growth of their relationship. How they go from learning, teasing and the cute squabbling, to falling deeper for each other as time progresses.

I would have loved to have seen more of MC's time in his original world, but alas.

Highly recommend this read <<less

It's a good novel but should it have almost 200th chapters? Probably not, it becomes very repetitive around the 100th chapter and the author should've just condense it into the 100th and it would've been better, all in all, it's a cute novel there's nothing more than kisses but still nice. Was really confuse about the powers, the author could've explored it more but that's ok I guess... Recommend it to read if you have nothing better to read.

It has been a while since I read it (twice) but each time I see the title somewhere I remember this story. It is sweet, no overbearing/yandeer CEO or mindless/innocent shou. I recall I laughed and sometimes shed some tears. There are some revenge et redemption but over all I got this sweet and fluffy feeling at the end. It is a HE by the way

great translation and author was able to give so much depth to all characters without having to put each ones POV for the same scene... more>> (i hate those so high 5 for avoiding that here)

Spoiler

* ML is a tsunedere but MC calls his BS right away.

* MC transmigrate from a zombie apocalypse world to a modern safe (ish) world

* I loved that, when the MC arrive to new world, he meets a little girl who gives him a candy then he still remembers her much later as the first who was good to him (he never meets her after the first day and never knows who she is) - this just one of the proofs that the author wishes of giving depth to characters

* ML is pretty much trying to get everything in order before his demise (he has a terminal illness) - you can feel his pain, his resignation and acceptance of his upcoming death but also a bit of reluctance.

* you will defend cry at the ML’s mother death

[collapse]

overall, one of the best books I have read this year and will most likely re-read again <<less

I binge read this entire novel over the course of two days, and I do NOT regret it.

It was so good, and it will hold a special place in my heart. I love the development of the MC and the ML's relationship over the course of the novel. The MC's interactions with the nephew and watching their relationship develop brings me so much joy, and the family dynamic they gain along with the ML's mother by the end of the series has my whole heart.

Although it was a little confusing... more>> I found that the explanation for the MC's transmigration was pretty well done.

Maybe the rose-tinted glasses I have on right now from finishing the novel are making me biased, but the only qualm I really have with this novel is the MC is a bit of a Mary Sue (his agent is grateful for it though lmao).

Also props to the translators, they did an amazing job, it was such a smooth read and the translator's notes didn't take away from the reading experience and were helpful.

All-in-all an enjoyable reading experience - I'd give it a sold 7/10 :) <<less

read this months ago before it was taken down, but I still want to leave a review bc I just set up a novelupdates acc lolol

The schemes are very satisfying. This was the first danmei I familiarized myself with the term "face-slapping" and I've been obsessed ever since. Though I am confused at which part Xie Yang stopped scheming and start genuinely falling for Qiu Xing, their lovey-dovey scenes are still very much enjoyable. I also like how Xie Yang is very patient and supportive of Qiu Xing esp on... more>> the course of his treatment, and how Qiu Xing finally allowed himself to be cared for. The humor is also sprinkled just right (especially their interactions with Qiu Xing's nephew, who I forgot the name of). (Spoilers ahead) I especially loved the bit where they're both bribing (?) him with red packets - it was so funny. Their wedding also made me emotional, the comparison of their positions in the police station and the wedding reception is just chefs kiss.

This is one of the first danmeis that made me fall deeper into danmei. It's very well worth the read! <<less

Note : This is based solely on my viewpoint as a reader.

What I liked about this book

  • Satisfying face-slapping and how OP the MC is.
  • Tsundere ML.
  • Good showbiz x business genre.
What I have to say about this book

  • A bit mediocre if not for the face-slapping and the romance (and yes I know this is a face-slapping romance novel).
  • Under developed side-characters and bland world building.
Rating : 8.5/10 (As they pulled off the unique plot-mix and we need more ML like Qiu Xing)

This novel is so second hand with nothing new to offer except for mixing postapocalyptic abilities, a bound system, OP MC, cold ML, maniacs and entertainment industry faceslapping into one piece that I do not really have to tell you what is wrong with it cz it is the same as all other novels with the same themes. But sometimes you want to read something predictable, with no angst and no nice characters dying, just something exactly like this. I did feel it was a bit long for this kind... more>> of a novel, cz I was looking forward to the end (in "how much longer do I have to read this 🙄" kind of way, not "i want to know how it all ends 😍" way) but I still finished it so it was not THAT bad. <<less

For those who can't access rainbow mushroom's site, Light Pub Novel has a good translation too

Not gonna write much because the other reviews says it all soooo here goes! This is REAL GOOD STUFF. If you're looking for entertainment circle drama (this is real classic stuff), mystery/thiller content (like damnnnnnnn) or sci-fi nonsense (the explanation gets a little wacky down the road), this is definitely what you're looking for!

Most of the cannon fodder here gets 'converted' and the main protagonist is an OP protagonist type. He is cold but... more>> cheeky towards our male lead. Our male lead... (Bless his heart) is a total tsundere! He is so awkward but sweet!

There is a real good plot and translation. What's better than that?! GO FOR IT GUYS! You won't regret it! <<less

I've been reading bl novels for a long time now and Novel Updates has been my loyal companion, but I created an account just to rate this novel.

5 stars.

I loved everything about it.

... more>> The MC is so smart, I honestly love this type of character. He takes what he wants by the right means, he's talented, he's protective, he's confident, he's straight forward with his words and actions. I really like him.

The ML is so cute. Very sneaky, giving love in disguise. He's a tsundere but he's gentle and loving. He's just shy, instead of being mean for no reason (some tsundere characters are written like that and I personally don't like it). Despite of being shy and a kind of conservative, he's pretty straight forward with his feelings at some point. The MC never suffered because the ML wasn't able to express his feelings (bcs of his tsundere personality) which is pretty satisfying to me, I don't really like that trope.

The story was great, fun and interesting, with emotional scenes that really get to you. Very well written (gotta thank the translator for that <3). I got a little bit lost at a certaint part near the end, but I understood the general idea of what happened so it didn't really matter.

Following the ML's journey with his sickness and his treatment was quite emotional. The MC's support throughout the novel was really touching, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't cry a couple of times.

Basically, a really good story, one of my favorites, you really should read it if you want a sweet love story with a interesting and well written plot. <<less

Rating: 4.5

Based on premise, I genuinely passed by this novel several times. I made a lot of assumptions on what I thought this would be and I was totally mistaken, in the best way possible.

There are several things I liked about this book, especially in comparison to others. The plot was very fun, full of face-slapping and drama, which definitely made the read enjoyable and entertaining.

I really enjoyed the treatment of the characters. The MC is petty, and will always get his revenge regardless of the scale of the infraction.... more>> Which on paper, I wouldn’t like. But what I did like was that, even characters that pitted him would occasionally become side characters that he would get along with. A lot of other novels would simply brush them off as villains and quit after the face-slapping, but the MC would often add this person to his roster of resources. It was a smart and unique approach to more morally gray characters.

I also liked that the revenge aspects were never excessive or violent. If you try to embarrass the MC, you are embarrassed in return. If you commit a legitimate crime, you’re imprisoned. No gratuitous torture or excessive humiliation. It always felt like a justified response to the problems presented by other characters.

The ML was also a breath of fresh air. Is he a protective gong? Yes. Is he super powerful and drinks some vinegar? Yes, but it’s not excessive. He is also very shy, prudish, and somewhat naive, which made him a very unique ML for this type of novel. He’s a strong business leader, but also a doting husband. He was very sweet and always considerate of MCs feelings. He never gave me bad, predatory vibes that many gongs do.

Spoiler

Spoiler: he was also legitimately terminally ill. And loses his hair over the course of the novel. I was prepared to be amused by book magic when he loses his hair and magically has a wig that makes it look like he’s totally fine. They started to go in that direction and he actually decided against it. He was a genuine ML fighting cancer. He was sickly, exhausted, and honestly hopeless. While it may be a bit of a plot hole, I actually thought it was good that they didn’t overly focus on the depressing aspects of being terminally ill. Would have changed the tone of the entire novel.

[collapse]

Some negatives, which do not ruin the novel for me at all.

The system stuff felt a little unfinished. I could see what the author was going for, I like the direction of it, but it fell a little flat.

Spoiler

Spoiler: I actually thought it was really interesting that the demise of his original world could be directly linked to the Love Value System of this world. I was wondering if the apocalypse would ever be explained, and it kind of was. But like I said, it was mildly brushed over.

[collapse]

I also that is was extremely coincidental that he just happened to transmigrated in to a novel fit for his exact skill set. Despite the fact that he has been in the apocalypse for years lol. It was just one of those things where I had to roll my eyes and enjoy the novel for the entertainment value it provided.

Absolutely thankful that I didn’t have to endure lyrics or (god forbid) covers of mainstream music. Seriously, I would have died from the cringe. I bless the author for not making me endure something like that.

Anyway, super entertaining read. I highly recommend. <<less

This story is sooooo good. I’m very glad I started it. At first I was not sure and hesitated for a long time but 5is is really so good. Really recommend you to try.

The story is very full filling. At first I felt a bit strange because of our MC and how he is a bit OP, but it didn’t ruin a story. More! He is not how he looks at first. And the same goes for ML. There are really a characters grows through the story. I really like... more>> it.

There is a good plot. We have enough of different kinds of drama and sugar. Sometimes it’s too funny, sometimes you will cry your eyes out. I like that I couldn’t predict the story and there was SUCH a big plot bomb. I’m very amazed. Author, you are amazing!

I was also a bit reluctant to read this story because of terminal illness of the ML, but it’s good. This added a new unique notes to the story. Our ML is not a typical ML at all and this is really good.

I love this novel and this couple. Thank you for a good read. The ending is gold. <<less
