My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness

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 (:

Novels with a tsundere tag can go in the wrong direction really easily. If the character who has a cold temperament and is extremely bad at showing his feelings is paired with a sensitive person with low self-esteem, then this relationship will be toxic. But when Tsundere is paired with a shameless, clever person, it can turn out to be a great comedy. In this novel, because the cold person and his tantrums don't receive a normal reaction and the other person just makes fun of his silly actions, this... more>> relationship is truly entertaining and fun to read about. What I wanted to say is that ML is the cutest tsundere I have ever read about. The interaction between MC and ML is hilarious. ML has little temper tantrums every day, but MC went through the apocalyptic world; he fears nothing, not even a cold tyrant who terrorises his employees. For MC, dealing with ML is just a child's game. He has a lot of fun taunting dark-faced and cold ML. It genuinely made me laugh too many times.

plot, I don't know how to describe it. Most of the time, some people try to harm MC, and then they are slapped back fast. It sounds boring, but it is actually too interesting. I was reading like crazy, which is strange because I usually don't like entertainment gossip and don't pay attention to it. Yet because of this book, I became extremely engrossed. I guess it is the power of good writing. All those intrigues showed how toxic the entertainment industry became and reflected reality. Apart from that, all those scandals and their solutions just proved how clever and collected MC is, as well as how protective and loving ML is. ML's way of protecting MC from black fans was extravagant and, at the same time, childish and cute.

What I liked the most was that this novel is well-written and fast-paced. It is gripping. It has interesting and cute characters. I thought the main villain would be the woman with the system, but unexpectedly, there were other villains too. One of them was a typical psycho who gave me chills. The most interesting thing was that the author gave explanations. For example, why did MC transmigrate or how did female lead receive the system? I like it when the story is logically developed and everything is explained. The novel would be good even without those reasons, but with them, it became more interesting. It was a good plot twist.

I really liked this novel and enjoyed reading it. I would gladly recommend it to other readers who love this genre. It is light reading and enjoyable at that. I hope more readers give it a chance. <<less

I read this once and wanted to read it again, because I liked it the first time. But now I realized the MC is sort of an a**hole

He thinks of the other characters as s*upid, useless or as pawns for his face-slapping schemes. That became annoying really fast, specially when the story is trying to convince you that the MC is the good one and everyone else is bad.

I can appreciate the interactions between the MC and ML, but it seems that both of them are not good people when... more>> they talk to others.

And, as others reviews mentioned, there is a TON of netizen talk / entertainment industry stuff that I don't find interesting at all. In fact, I think that it is too dramatized, so even as a regular person you can realize "I don't think that this is how things are handled in that industry

".

So, wouldn't read it again. <<less

Thank you so much to the translator for their work in bringing this novel to the English-speaking masses.

It was just such a joy to read and be immersed in this novel. No real angst but a bit of 'dog-blooded' drama to keep it interesting.

Normally I hate tsundere characters but paired with the MC's no-nonsense and extremely straight-forward nature, this couple's dynamic works really well.

It's a pretty smooth ride for our main couple plotwise, so if you want some easy reading, this is a novel to pick up. Just be ready... more>> for a slow burn. And one that doesn't explode. I think it has to do with the fact that the leads are 'weary souls' who are used to surviving in their own ways. But their love is sweet and strong and the majority of their interactions will bring a smile to your face. They should be the poster couple for 'supportive relationship'. <<less

in this novel we have ML who doesn't want to attach himself to MC because he has terminal illness and won't live long, and MC who's very sure he can cure ML's illness. The romance might be developing a little bit too fast, from "you're just someone bought with money" to "i love you I want to cure my illness for you" in the span of one year. But I love everything about their relationship dynamic.

my favorite part about HTI is ML's treatment journey and how MC was always beside... more>> him. Xie Yang never once stopped caring about Qiu Xing throughout his journey, the entire novel even.

Spoiler

Even when QX was thin and bald, XY kept saying that he's very handsome.

[collapse]

you'll feel some emotional roller coaster toward the end of the story but overall it was still manageable because let's all be honest, XY is kinda OP. There was no really big hurdle in this novel, just some weibo thingy and rich people war that were easily solved by XY & QX. If I have to mention one thing, the only concerning obstacle is QX's illness.

but! BUT!!! By the end of the story your jaw will hurt from smiling too much. A very satisfying ending frfr.

TLDR; I love them sm im gna cry <<less

I MtlEd this before and loved it. Now I reread with actual translation and reminded all over again why I love it.

The dynamic between the couple is really healthy, imo. ML might look more dominant but the initiative has almost always in MC's hands. Good thing is MC didn't use and discard ML. They grow to love each other and their interactions are very funny and lovely.

I love how cute ML is, being such obvious tsundere that the MC can read him, his mother can read him. Even his assistant... more>> can read him. Too precious. <<less

Why does their relationship feel so awkward like I don’t like how both of them act? It’s such a bad novel help.

first of all the MC is just like « angry? » okay whatever then he just does his things. Or even when he seems to expect something, if it doesn’t happens he’s just like busying himself with something else and leave. Even his attitude is kinda cold? I can’t see any chemistry for the ml, I think it would be the same even without him.

then for the ml, why... more>> tf is he interested by someone who just act nice to get money? It’s so weird and makes no sense. Also can he stops being angry for every single things?

i forced myself to continue reading it but it’s so painful and slow. There’s literally no progress, even if they are now ready to be in a « true » relationship. They can spend days and months alright with not seeing/talking to the other with the MC just being indifferent and the ml... idk tbf but yea there is just no sparks between the two. <<less

You know what I like? The fact that the ML is a tsundere. Honestly, I have seen obsessive, snarky, funny, quiet, smart, cold, and jerk ML. But this ML, haha. I CANT. I love this guy. He isn’t an annoying tsundere. He is someone that has a terminal illness, thus you have to understand why he acts the way he does. It’s refreshing seeing the MC taking charge of the relationship. I think my only gripe of this novel is...

... more>>
Spoiler

The first half of the novel where the OG female lead acts as a villain is beautiful, but halfway the villain changes and it just seems lackluster. Like who tf is this guy?It was obvious that he will lose to the MC. The OG female lead had a cheat system, and this system was great as a thing for the MC to defeat. But it gets defeated halfway in.

Anyways, everything else is awesome. I really enjoy the relationship between them. It feels like a very healthy relationship. And one more thing, it’s a HAPPY ENDING :) the title really be telling you this is gonna be some tragedy. Instead it became a funny sitcom/detective/destroying your enemy type of story. Although it kinda got repetitive with the face slapping and how the public becomes so enthralled with the drama.

The romance is really really really slow, however it was overall pleasant and light to read. There was some drama but MC is really capable and could solve almost everything himself. Even though I don’t like tsundere trope, I liked ML after he opened up a bit more. He became really cute.

I usually don't rate before finishing or at least reading everything translated so far, but after this audition scene (just an audition scene!) in chapter 71 made me cry, I realized this was a 5 star even if the rest of the story ends up not living up to the standards set so far and disappointing me.

Such a well written story!

Edit: re-reading this story (which I obviously finished) and now I'm struck by another aspect I love. ML gets called out for his lack of communication and his expectation that... more>> people will be "smart" enough to figure out what he really means. I love the character development involved in their relationship. <<less

Really good.

Leaving aside the story and all the rest (which is good as well, of course: Although the MC is particularly OP - without a real background explanations in some things - he's still a really likable character. A bit petty, a bit black hearted but also warm and steady. He doesn't do any unnecessary things but only what he needs to do to survive, live well and let his enemies pay for it in a mostly resonable way) I especially loved the way the MC and ML interacted.

For once,... more>> there was no controlling and possessive president but a tsundere little mouse who still managed to be a strong support and steady figure, helping our MC along without disrespecting him and ignoring his wishes.

Sure, the MC didn't do everything that came to his mind but that's normal when in a relationship - you are not alone after all but a pair - and there were some things and unnecessary lies on both parts but they were in good faith and were not excessive.

Most importantly, for once I saw a story were the MC also supported the ML. He stayed by his side at his darkest moments and effectively helped him, both in good and bad times. Moreover, the ML warmly let him. I like this reciprocity and it's how I think an ideal relationship should be. Each one helps the other in the ways they can when it is needed. Not one doing whatever whenever it suits their fancy. <<less

Wow! I loved this novel.

Although the story did feel a bit draggy in the middle I enjoyed it nevertheless.

ML is so adorable. I loved how despite being jealous he never stopped MC from doing what he wanted and supported him everytime unlike other 'overbearing' CEO's.

Spoiler

When ML was the only one who lit the light during the last concert of iud when MC was on stage, I teared up. The fact that he was his first and only supporter at that time was so touching🥺

Not really big fan op mc's but I loved our MC here. Such a great character with a great talents. I really loved his pettiness.

Overall a really nice story without much angst. <<less

I really love the banter between MC and ML, something about it is just really interesting haha

One cons though of this novel is that at 100+ chaps, I feel like the story is kinda dragging and I don’t have much urge to keep reading anymore (probably also because I binged this novel)

Anywayyyy this is a cute novel

i kept procrastinating to read this novel because it has 175 chapters (a bit long for me) and some people gave it low star even as low as 1 star, so I used to have doubt about this novel and only kept it in my to read list.

I love this novel! ML is a true definition of tsundere, and sugar jar, I love Qiu Xing so much. MC is so smart he hold grudge but he also has some measure. Most faceslapping novel I read has their MC ruin... more>> the career of every character that humiliate them but not this one. Xie Yang didn’t ruin Fang Chengnan, Ji Zehui (if I don’t remember the name wrong) , he even cooperate with them, his father Xie Xiu, a few others, even in the end he help Mu Zhouyi a little, that make me feel Xie Yang more humane and real. Not everything has to be solved with destroying other people life.

Spoiler

The true big villain in this is actually Tao Yang instead of Feng Qinglin and Mu Zhouyi.

Overall this novel is worth to read. <<less

If you mind a very OP MC then you'll probably not like this one.

I usually can't stand a gary stu in any novel but this MC was powerful in a not very overbearing way and I didn't mind how ridiculous it is for him to win every single time.

The thing I worried about while reading was pacing. At around chapter 100 I had some doubts about how the author would fill the resting 70 chapters but the story was still interesting up until the end.

I didn't mind the nine years... more>> age difference because MC is originally older from his last life but yeah...I wish the gap wasn't that big. That's my only complaint.

Spoiler

I wish MC told ML about his powers in the end. So he'd worry about his safety less. I know he did tell him but was brushed off by ML who didn't believe it but I wish he told him about it and about his life during the apocalypse..I wish we also knew more about his life before but it doesn't make the story worse imo.

[collapse]

Overall a nice read with a nice relationship. The MC being too powerful made me not worry about any angst and enjoy reading. Rated it 5 stars because it truly was an enjoyable read. It's not the best story out there but it's one of my favorites in the transmigration trope. <<less

This might be one of my all time favourite of china novels (the other being SVSSS). I have read this 2 times and I still liked it so much! I will probably revisit this again~

The author has improved her writing from One Useless Rebirth and My Boyfriend's Brain Is Sick (not available on NU, a hilarious novel with the best handling of unwilling parents and unwanted child so far). The personalities of the all the characters in the novel are well-written, not just the MC and ML. The villains are... more>> not dumb! They do not suffer from negative IQ points! The author also turns a certain cannon fodder character into a fan favourite! I would say the only flaw for the novel doesn't really reveal much on MC (Xie Yang) 's background before transmigrating into this world. There is also some unrealistic business part but acceptable.

Regarding Xie Yang's OPness, it's more or less in line with the in-universe's rules. It is established right from the beginning that he is an award winning composer and music producer. His good voice is only available in the current world. He knows some self-defence due to previously surviving in an apocalypse and his acting is mainly based on his feelings in the apocalypse. Kind of stretching it but still okay since this is a stated upfront feel good novel.

Spoiler

his special ability is also not a one shot cure all. That surprised me since I thought it is going to be OP! Also, the FL... ahhh...

[collapse]

I will have to say, chapter 100 shocked me as I did not expect the plot to go to that direction. As someone who dislike system story, I enjoyed the ending greatly. So don't be afraid to read it! Everything is explained!

On my 2nd read, the lines between Xie Yang and Tsundere Qiu Xing becomes extremely sweet as their interaction changes and they start to care for each other. AHhhhhhhh! They never outright says they like each other but their action and conversation! ahhhhhh!!!

The author has somehow not fallen into the trap writing the bottoming character like a woman unlike many, many CN writers. Xie Yang is a man and he acts and behaves like a man even after they got together. This makes the novel a gem in my view among numerous other CN novel. The author also breaks the domineering cold CEO stereotype for the ML by making him a tsundere but never too much!

Finally, with regards to the translation (I read to c120), it covers around 90% of the novel's original meaning and it's quite readable. I bought and read the raws as I wanted to support the author.

Please read and support the author if you can! She seemed to have ran into a wall for her latest novel. : ( <<less

This story feels like a similar world that could've been in QWTFOTD and so people have mixed opinions on it. I liked the story even with the characters being one-time-use. There were deviations from QWTFOTD that were also interesting. Overall, not a bad story at all.

So good! So well-written!

I was actually reluctant to read this at first bcs of the title... I'm not fond of BE or any kind of angst so when I saw the title, I just put it in my "To Read" list but never started it. Now I would say this book is the best.

The ML and MC of the novel is cute (so as their relationship). They occasionally banter (with ML losing lol), you can say it's a love-hate relationship. The ML is a big tsundere while the MC is... more>> a big tease. At first, the ML is the only one with power and money and everyone thought the MC is just hugging his thigh... not until he build his own business and start wiping out those who ever tried to step on his way and block him from achieving what he wants. The MC is independent and they are powerful both as individuals and as a couple. Also the MC is really smart especially in planning to make everything under his control. You can say that the universe of the book and all the characters in it are wrapped around his fingers after he entered the novel. So badass...

The thing I liked the most is the sense of equality between the MC and ML. The ML was a henpecked husband but the MC never take advantage of him. He never let anything and anyone stain the most important things/person to him.

Spoiler

In the Qiu family (family of the ML), the MC was like the guardian angel. First of all, in the original story, the Qiu family isn't rlly what you call the 'family/root of the villain'. They never did something wrong (except their relatives but the main- the ML and his mother is a good person) but run the business Rongding. The main 'villain' which is the ML was taken advantage of by his nephew and his nephew's wife (the male and female lead in the original story- I hate them btw after I understand the supposed to be original plot line of the novel he transmigrated to). You could say the original plot of the novel he transmigrated to was an anti-hero? in other terms. Anyway, him entering the Qiu family and changing their fate than following the original plot line leans in the good side than the bad side even tho they're the so-called 'villain'.

[collapse]

You'll understand more if you read it so pls read it (Don't hold back bcs of the title like I did or you'll miss out).

Moreover, the story was rlly enjoyable and the plot is well-written. No angst! No angst! No angst! And it's not BE!

ALSO THIS AUTHOR'S OTHER BOOKS IS A GOOD READ TOO! YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT! <<less

This was so f*cking good. This got one of the best perfect ending. It was such a beautiful journey.

The story was very well written for me. The characters.... the plot..... the world building and the reason, everything was done so well. Usually I have lots of question or doubt that are not answered or cleared but in this one everything got cleared as we got near the end.... more>>
Spoiler

I really love how we didn't went to the dept of the story related with system but also didn't ignored it completely..... like we got the basic clue and reason for system existence.

[collapse]

Love the CP..... Tsundere gong X Mischievous Shou (I love this kind of pair so much). Though the romance was slow..... it was one of the best Romance.

MC is one of my favorite MC. I love his strong personality.... love how badass and frank he is, love how smart and cautious he is while dealing with enemy. I also love that he's the active one in relationship.

ML despite being an overbearing type he's actually very mature and sensible character who really respect his lover. I love how he's very shy when it comes to flirting and love matters.

Also this novel got very good face slapping moments.

Now I got another author in my favorite author collection......... also, just noticed that he's also the author of one useless Rebirth (another Rebirth story I really enjoyed❤️)

Lastly, thanks to the translator for translating this novel. <<less
