Synopsis

[Two Male Leads + Top + Sense of Destiny] If fate cannot be escaped, then face it head-on.

He once tried to fight against fate. The first time, his first clash with the Chosen One left his family destroyed.

The second time, relying on his rebirth to get a head start, he confronted the Chosen One head-on and suffered a crushing defeat, dying even sooner than before.

The third time, he learned from his mistakes and worked behind the scenes, but still couldn’t escape his destined death.

After being reborn three times, he thought he was different, someone favored by the heavens. Reality proved otherwise: he was nothing but a source of amusement for the heavens. On his fourth return, he was sick of a life controlled by fate. At the time, he still didn’t know that man was the Chosen One. He spent his entire fortune just to kill him. The man was shot through the heart and fell into the sea, but somehow he survived. It turned out his heart was on the right side of his chest. Sure enough, the Chosen One returned in triumph and trampled him to death.

The fifth and sixth times, he avoided the Chosen One, admitted defeat, and gave up opposing him. But it seemed he was born to die at the Chosen One’s hands, or to die because of him.

The seventh time, since he was going to die no matter what, he decided they might as well go down together... Who knew the heavens would play another joke on him? The world ended... His dynamite had no effect on the Chosen One, who had awakened an ability... The man was completely unharmed, while he was blown to pieces...

For the first time, he felt so hopeless. Could fate really not be defied...?

Very good. I rarely comment, but the author really portrayed Huang Wenchong to my liking. He's an ordinary, stoic little guy, but he inexplicably touched me. I'm really looking forward to the next part of the story; it's just not enough! (˵¯͒¯͒˵) I hope the author can update more often 🥺🥺🥺

It's super good, and Huang's character is very well-developed, but I don't think the romance is necessary. At most, I can only accept Lu's unrequited love for Huang, since Huang has been killed by Lu so many times, anyone would mind, unless there's a plot twist later where Lu is controlled by the Heavenly Dao or his past life was a manifestation of inner demons, but that's probably unlikely. I really can't accept a romance.

It's great! But so short! The lack of lengthy descriptions of the protagonist's appearance is a huge plus! Finally, it's not just the same old praise of the protagonist's exceptional good looks! It's rare to see a protagonist like Huang Wenchong! Xiao Lu will definitely fall for him much more easily than Xiao Huang. Looking forward to the next chapter! Overall, it's excellent and highly recommended! Keep up the good work, author! Keep updating!

To be honest, this character design is something I've never seen before (//∇//), and it's really captivating. While Lao Huang's looks are average, he exudes a mature, masculine sexiness. They say men are like wine, the older the better. Unlike typical dual-male-lead novels, this one starts as adversaries, with a slow-burn pace.

This book is so good, so captivating! I really love the personalities of the two main characters. My goodness they found each other! They're like a match made in heaven. And Huang truly, truly loves Lu. He never forces Lu to do anything he doesn't want to do, and while he's just sarcastic, he genuinely loves Huang.

Wow, that's pretty good. You can tell what it's about just from the title. I didn't expect some people to think it's too angsty and want Huang to have a one-sided love story 🙂. The author wrote this to see them together, or have a deeply intertwined relationship. You people who keep demanding a change of protagonists... ...

This is my first time reading a story of this genre. Although the zombie outbreak seemed a bit sudden, putting the plot aside, the protagonist Huang's emotional fluctuations are the most realistic. Also, the protagonist's less-than-stunning appearance is quite novel. I really like it.

It's actually a really good show. Right now, I just want to see the bottom fall in love first, then find out the harm he did to the top, and then watch the bottom chase after the top, experiencing a "chasing-husband-to-hero" scenario. The top is so humble and pitiful; there has to be some fan service!
