Synopsis

[Absurd comedy + transmigrate into a book + devoted couple + sweet romance + two male leads]

Optimistic, dramatic, prickly bottom × reserved, possessive, fatherly top

Yan Wangxing unexpectedly transmigrates into a male-oriented cultivation power fantasy, becoming a short-lived cannon-fodder character whom the protagonist kills as soon as he is no longer useful.

His reaction: Youth comes with no refunds, and my mental state has completely imploded.

As protagonist Lu Chensheng's senior brother, he refuses to do any more under-the-table labor. Instead, he constantly proclaims the brotherhood between fellow disciples, vowing to make their relationship unbreakable.

But the further things go, the stranger their relationship becomes.

“Senior Brother, am I bothering you?”

Yan Wangxing: “Not at all.”

“Then you must hate me.”

Trapped in Lu Chensheng's arms, Yan Wangxing laughs, unfazed, and answers with practiced ease: “Of course not.”

This sort of thing happens often, and Yan Wangxing has long since gotten used to it. He never thought there was anything wrong.

Until his health begins to decline. He often wakes in the middle of the night to find Lu Chensheng keeping watch by his side.

His face is pale, as if caught in a nightmare.

“Senior Brother, don't you want me anymore?”

Yan Wangxing doesn't understand what it means then. It takes him seven years to begin to figure it out.

He has been awake for no more than three days when his junior brother tracks him down.

Lu Chensheng's expression is unreadable. His smile is almost sinister as he looks up at the person before him.

“I found you, Senior Brother.”

Yan Wangxing: “...?”

Is this right?

This can't be right, can it?!

Looking for Historical Danmei!!!

Cultivation or ancient settings are both fine, but it has to be either a story with two male leads or no CP. I feel like I can’t find anything with good writing and sound logic that’s both heartbreaking and sweet. It needs to fit the topic... I’m really not interested in anything anymore... Either a BE or HE is fine. Please save me!!!!!

Sweet romance novel! You won't regret reading it, you won't be fooled! Our beloved Xingxing is the darling of the group, and Lu Chensheng is definitely the perfect younger father figure! (There is true love in the world; leaving a comment is an act of love 😆) If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old. How about writing a book review? 🥺 There's no time! I absolutely have to get everyone on the highway!! 😠

So many funny references and a great writing style. The author vividly portrays characters in just a few words: for example, the gentle and mild-mannered senior brother with a very "male-dominant" personality, or the tranquil and profound atmosphere of the sect. Thank goodness, no one dies in this cheerful micro-group story – we're saved! It's really super good!

I've read both of the author's books; the plots are good and the writing is excellent. I recommend them! 💕

It's really good! At first, I thought it was just a short love story between two male leads, but as you read on, you realize it's actually an ensemble piece. Every character in the book has their own story, and everyone is so vibrant. They're not just supporting characters; they're protagonists too. Xingxing and Lu Chensheng's daily lives are so warm and loving; they both love each other deeply.

The writing is very pleasant, like a sultry summer evening after the rainy season and fireflies dancing in the reeds. To be honest, the writing style and artistic conception are much better than most of the mindless, high-scoring, character-driven wish-fulfillment novels on Tomato. The descriptions in the story are also very evocative. I don't know why the rating is only in the eights.

I thought about it for a long time before finally writing this review. This book is truly excellent. Unlike any other transmigration novels I've read, the author didn't spend a lot of time describing the protagonist. Instead, the story unfolds gradually, presenting the entire world to the reader. It's as if we, as people from another world, are seeing a group of people from another dimension.

Oh dear, why doesn't Tomato have a 0.5 Rating system? Let's give it 4.5. Overall, it's a good read. I really like the author's micro-group portraits; each character has their own personality and different experiences, making for a very vibrant group of people.

While reading this book, I was surprised to discover that the author's first book was the first book I reviewed when I joined Tomato Bookstore. Losing money is a kind of fate, I guess. The author's other book is also very good. This book is still very similar in style to the first one. The friendship is beautifully portrayed, and the love story is very delicate.
