My Husband With Scholar Syndrome

Description

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

Mu Xiaoya lived for twenty-six years before she knew that she had a sudden genetic disease. There was no medicine for it, and there was only death waiting for her.

Before she died, many people came to see her, but she was most impressed by Bai Chuan.

Bai Chuan was her neighbor, an autistic child with scholar’s syndrome. At that time, his face full of scars was desperate: “I – I studied all your medical records, but I have no way to save you.”

Mu Xiaoya was stunned: “You are a doctor?”

Bai Chuan: “I am not… …”

Mu Xiaoya’s disease was a genetic disease. Unless the gene was changed, there was no possibility of cure. However, Bai Chuan was the only person who tried to cure her after she fell ill.

Mu Xiaoya: “Why are you going to cure me?”

Bai Chuan: “I want to marry you.”

Mu Xiaoya laughed: “If you marry me, you will soon become a widower.”

Bai Chuan insisted: “I – I want to marry you.”

Bai Chuan, who has cognitive impairments, can’t express his meaning very well, and can only repeat it over and over again.

Later, Mu Xiaoya still died. When she woke up, she returned to the summer of her college graduation.

Bai Chuan: “I… I want to marry you.”

Mu Xiaoya: “Good.”

The starlight in the eyes of Bai Chuan was the most beautiful scenery that Mu Xiaoya had ever seen in her life.

I was pushing through this novel, hoping for a tragedy, a 'Life moves on and so should we' moment. I didn't want a happy-ever-after; I wanted to see growth, grief, a life well spent, and the memories that live on forever through photos, stories, and their interactions. The story was boring at best. I was hoping for the finale to be moving, but it's just boring. Romanticising autism, the male lead is annoying and boring, the female lead is just eh....

➺ 3.5/5🌟

It's a quick and easy read, mostly fluffy and sweet but the plot decided to use convenience to achieve a happy ending. I don't know if the author handled the topic of autism in the most accurate way, especially at the end, but even someone who lack knowledge in the aspect, I think it was romanticized.

The romance is enjoyable to read, though. There are also some touching moments, especially when it comes to the extent of ML's feelings towards the FL. In my opinion, I enjoyed this a lot.... more>> I just chose not to dwell too much on the misrepresentation because I didn't expect it in the first place. I'm just here for some fun, lighthearted read and I got it. <<less

People with more personal knowledge of ASD have spoken about how the novel treats this subject inconsistently and offensively, so I won't say too much. Suffice it to say, the author leans into the trope of love curing mental disorders to an unacceptable degree. If you have OCD, it simply does not matter how much you adore the person who messed up your set-up, seeing it messed up will absolutely get under your skin and cause you to suffer. The implication of this novel is that neurodivergent people are neurodivergent... more>> because they don't love anyone in their life enough to "get better", which is incredibly hurtful.

I liked the romance when it was about the female lead and male lead supporting each other through adversity. There aren't many novels willing to make the romantic lead autistic, so I appreciate that, and in the early chapters I would've given a higher rating. But the more the main lead's difficulties get easily resolved with ~miraculous love~, the more it feels like the author didn't want to write an autistic male lead at all, but rather a male lead with a Snow White-like spell that can be solved with a kiss.

I was also initially impressed with the author's decision to depict a terminally ill main character. But once again, it became increasingly clear that the author wasn't actually interested in doing so.
Spoiler

The MC basically shrugs off her imminent death for the majority of the story and her loved ones never contend with her illness until it is rendered curable via deus ex machina.

Considering it's the token of her marriage that magically saves her, this seems like another case of the author's addiction to "love cures all" narratives, and it's just as offensive with terminal illness as it is with neurodivergence.

[collapse]

In addition, I have problems with this novel's depictions of genetic illness. The main character's genetic illness is clearly made up, which would be fine except that when writing about an illness, it's generally a good idea to look up case studies to see what's feasible and what isn't. A made-up illness on the surface seems easier to bluff your way through, but is actually *harder* to write because you have no resources to rely on.

In the first chapter, the main character experiences sudden onset of a mysterious illness that causes fever, coma, and organ failure. She has no recorded family history of anyone dying in the same manner, but is confidently told that it's a genetic disease.
Spoiler

We don't find out until her second lifetime that her cousin died of the same cause because it's presumed in her first life that her cousin died of overwork, and there's no one else in her family who died like this.

[collapse]
How they ruled out acquired disease and poisoning, we don't know - because laughably, this genetic illness is impossible to test for! This becomes a *major plot point* and it sabotages every subsequent scene.

The MC cannot test for the illness -> she cannot tell anyone without being seen as delusional -> she pretends to be healthy even when it morally questionable to do so. The MC ends up leading her loved ones by the nose into scenarios they can't consent to.

Spoiler

In one scene, the MC decides not to take a morning-after pill because she gets the ML to agree to accept responsibility for the child... without telling him what he's taking responsibility for.

In a later scene, the ML says he will kill himself if the MC dies. The MC assures him that she won't die even though she is certain that she will, in fact, die in 2 years. This incredibly frightening confession is never addressed again.

Not long after that scene, the MC decides to actively try for a child with the ML. She does not in any way check his understanding of what child-rearing entails or if he's ready to take responsibility when she's no longer around. Even if he had not just recently expressed suicidal ideation, we're talking about a man who is described in turns as extremely high-functioning, then extremely low-functioning. He can hold down a job, but he can also disappear for over 24 hours without explanation or fail to respond to people calling out to him for hours or even days, and he is shown to be unable to feed himself regularly without assistance. But the MC never shows the slightest concern about whether he is able to feed, clean, and raise a child alone. Nor does she ever have a serious talk with her own parents or in-laws about whether they can raise the child for her.

[collapse]

What should be heart-warming moments end up taking on an insidious undertone because no one knows the gravity of the situation except the MC.

This story's strength is its fluffy romance, but by its end, a lot of these "fluffy" scenes left a bad taste in my mouth. 2/5. <<less

I LOVE THIS!!!

I've reread this for 4-5 times already over the past months/years....

this is a heartwarming and light story so I recommend it to everyone!!!

this can provoke emotions... sometimes we have a prejudice against those with disabilities, and sometimes we pity them but don't have the heart or voluntary heart to lend a helping hand or be close with them... and we can't deny that...

it's really sad for Bai Chuan if Mu Xiaoya's rebirth didn't happen...

LESSONS LEARNED:

Spoiler
    1. Disability? No! This ability? Yes!
    2. Your family will always be there for you...
    3. Family is the best!
    4. You're not different, you're unique...
    5. "Disability can't be overcome, but must be accepted... Discomfort can be helped, whereas sense of shame can't be helped by anyone..."
    6. Everyone has their own strength and weaknesses...

I love this novel. It's so cute. Do note however, the autism in this novel is very, very stereotypical so if you're someone who couldn't stand author just obliterated the facts about mental condition for the sake of creating fluffy story, do not read this novel.

And for those who want to read this novel, please be aware that the presentation of mental condition in this novel isn't correct and do not use this novel as a reference when communicating with an actual autistic person.

For translation, just tiptop! I was not... more>> familiar with collab translation but I'm just glad the translator just linking the next chapter so I don't have to go back to NU to find it. <<less

The story is very good. Romantic, heart-touching, and definitely interesting (you won't get bored.) Altough the reason for the female lead's recovery or cure is somewhat supernatural and does not have a reasonable cause, it doesn't really matter. I love this novel.

This was a major shift from the fantasy/romance, action/adventure books that I've gravitated towards in the past. But I really liked it. Why?

  • likable & honorable, well-intentioned characters: I was charmed by the characters, particularly Bai Chuan but also both sets of parents and big brother Bai Zheng.
  • pacing of plot development: after the whirlwind of the 1st chapter, the remainder unfolds slowly. It reflects the sweet and beautiful moments in a growing romance as well as the unavoidably painful scenarios that emerge when two very different people begin to build a life together.
  • realistic relationships: family and friends were not blindly supportive; their doubts and questions were evident without being obstructive. Within the marriage, there was a great deal of compromise as the 2 learned to navigate life together.
  • emotion evoking: I laughed aloud a few times and came close to crying more than once.
  • solid translation team [thank you MadPanda and Novi; this is the first review I've written and it is out of gratitude for you both] and thoughtful writer
Folks have complained about how autism is portrayed here as a disease. I understand the discomfort as well as the idea of an autism spectrum. Yet beyond the label as an illness, the actual mannerisms described are not dissimilar to those I experienced as an educator.

I agree with the translator about how it's gross that in this book autism is classified as a disease.

Also the book combines a bunch of various personally quirks together and calls all of it autism.

Negitives out of the way, I have to admit that the book is super cute and the couple's interactions are perfect, & the growth of both the main characters is amazing.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa ❤️💕❤️💕🖤🐑⭐💕💕💕

I-

I'm gonna cry... This was such a beautiful and extraordinary read..

I honestly recommend it to anyone.

If you're not sure if it's your type of novel, read it. Just read it. It is so worth it.

The relationship development is amazing to read. Both the FL and the ML are highly likable.

I love their story and will surely be rereading it.

5 stars.

I love this novel, though frustrating especially with people with Asperger's as it kinda limit their abilities and achievements with the never ending description of ML's condition. He has "autism" we get it; the author shouldn't reiterate it as we already know as a reader. It feels that the ML's capabilities are limited because he has "autism" when we know that he is excellent because he has Asperger's or what mentioned in this novel, scholar syndrome. As a person in the medical field, people with Asperger's are achievers as they... more>> have a specific field that they excel in and with super flying colours. Anyway, I love and enjoyed the story, that's why I am giving it a 5 star. <<less

This is probably the only novel that I've read over and over again and still cry each time. It's a work of romantic fiction. Anything else shouldn't be taken seriously. So don't expect to see an accurate portrayal of autism or that the cure for genetic disease is realistic. I mean, seriously, this is a rebirth novel and if you're willing to even read about rebirth, why complain about accurate portrayal?! It's like someone complaining about a character who transmigrated to Ancient China but you're upset because the description of... more>> Ancient China isn't accurate. Just read this for what it's meant to be - that is, a romance novel. <<less

Lots of flaws. From the start until the end it only focused in their romantic experience and the author even throw off a side character to gain their happy ending. The ending is anticlimactic too.

Disclaimer: this novel is not an accurate or realistic depiction of the condition the ML is suppose to have. If that bothers or offends you, I do not recommend reading.

If you suspend disbelief and just accept the way the ML is written, what you end up with is a really lovely romance. The FL is reborn and decides to connect with someone from her past who she did not know would be so despondent at her death. She helps him, loves him and he has always adored her in... more>> return. His family is a little too OP and manipulative to be believed. They arent villains. But they do a lot to support the ML. Their whole family revolves around him The world building does its job. Alot of the side characters become one note jokes. Still the whole story and especially the kindness between our two leads is heartwarming. I strongly recommend this story so long as you dont mistake it for an accurate depiction of anything. Its a true fantasy in a modern setting. <<less

Ah I remember this story. I feel like the FL must have a huge patience when dealing with the ML. It's not everyday you can read a non domineering ML of Chinese Novel, so this one is certainly different. I really appreciate how the story actually put the FL going to the therapist to get more insight as for how to treat her husband well. It's not a all flowery route in marriage especially since she is quite young? (When she agreed to marry the ML).

... more>>
Spoiler

I remember the FL taught her husband to used the cab to go to work when they live outside and just how much trouble she had to face because even a simple thing as that is a difficult things for her husband to do.

[collapse]

Spoiler

the most awkward thing is when they actually enter physical intimacy because the FL had to lead the ML but the ML really like to do it so he always want more

[collapse]

this story mostly show the progress of how the FL adjusting her life as a wife to an autistic spouse. As the FL become sick later on, the ML's family is concern how their son will close himself if the FL is no longer around. (Wait is this a spoiler)

Spoiler

the eventual ending is when the FL appreciate her being alive even after her original death

[collapse]

For 77 chapters, it's quite a ride. <<less

I really enjoyd this novel, there's some debate about it not being realistic - but I don't read novels for realism. This does give a sympathetic view on how one can approach someone with severe Aspergers' or someone on the autism spectrum, with patience.

The ML is one of the more original ones I've read, in that he's not dominant and arrogant, but still supports the FL emotionally. He tries to modify himself and the FL is also one who isn't s*upid and selfish but is kind and patient. Because of... more>> the ML's condition they end up talking a lot more that other couples and the life together is sweet and rich. <<less

This one has a really beautiful story, especially if you like slice of life. I was actually quite doubtful at first but I’m glad I gave it a try. Although the ML is rich, smart and handsome, same as the usual protagonists of most novels, but what made him different is his autism. Nevertheless, it warms the heart when you read about his pure love for the FL. It’s not like other romance where you get the fluffy feeling but it’s one that is really touching.

Moreover, there’s no other love... more>> interests for both MC, instead, the story revolves around the challenges they encounter along the way. Some chapters actually made me cry. After reading this, it gave me some lingering feelings which not common since I usually move on to another piece once I finish reading something. I think this shows how the story has left a big impact to me. <<less
