Synopsis

[The print edition is now available, published under the title Planetary Effect]

Chen Zhijuan is the top surgeon in the orthopedics department at Beicheng People's Hospital. He's usually cold and taciturn.

Dr. Chen is strikingly handsome, and his crisp, slender figure in a white coat gives off an air of restraint. The girls chasing after him could circle the hospital three times.

Too bad his heart belongs to someone else. He's been secretly in love with his best friend for nearly ten years.

The other man is as straight as they come.

And he's homophobic.

Shen Shangnian is a spoiled rich second-generation heir, sharp-tongued and hot-tempered, and he refuses to bow to anyone.

He loves finding new girlfriends for his father and making life difficult for his stepmother.

Only Chen Zhijuan can soothe his foul temper.

One day, Shen Shangnian happens to catch a man confessing his feelings to Chen Zhijuan.

Panicking, Shen Shangnian steps in front of Chen Zhijuan. "He doesn't like men. Get lost."

Chen Zhijuan grabs his hand and says, word by word, "I do like men."

Shen Shangnian's whole world collapses.

Knowing Shen Shangnian is homophobic, Chen Zhijuan has already prepared himself for his friend to cut ties with him.

He never expected Shen Shangnian to come looking for him, huffing and puffing.

"Can't we just change that, then keep hanging out like before?"

A smile touches Chen Zhijuan's lips, as if amused by his naivety.

"No."

"Unless you're a girl."

Shen Shangnian: "..."

He doesn't just like men, he likes me too!!!

Wait, what?!

Who taught you to be friends like this?!

Silver-tongued king vs. scheming childhood friend (both are each other's first and only love, okay?)

Having experienced unrequited love myself, and even shed many tears, I really empathized with this kind of unrequited love story. True feelings have nothing to do with gender; it's just that uncertainty about whether the person you love loves you back, the inability to get close to someone you want to get closer to, or various reasons preventing you from confessing—you feel jealous, heartbroken…

I've fallen for you, and I've had thoughts I shouldn't have. His acting skills are lacking, and he can't portray the naturalness that a good friend should have. In their youth, they were like little animals seeking warmth from each other. They always stick together, sniffing each other's scent to make sure the other is alone.

It's amazing!!! Highly recommended!!! Many readers said the pacing was a bit slow and made them anxious, but I think the rhythm is just right; too fast would be less enjoyable. Maybe it depends on the reader, but I absolutely love the ambiguous, bittersweet feeling.

It's so good! Everyone come and see "Who Taught You to Be a Brother Like This?" [Note] Come see how the "straight man" Nian Nian is oblivious to his own love, see how Juan Juan dotes on Nian Nian, see our sweet Juan Juan and Nian Nian, see our perfectly matched couple! 💕💕💕 May happiness last for generations, and may joy descend upon your heart! 💕

It's so good! I actually read this book three or four times before. But seeing how short the word count was, I thought I'd just have to hold back and read it some more. But I couldn't resist; the title and synopsis were just too captivating. So I started reading, and then I finished it 😢. It's truly, truly, truly good.

It's really good! Keep up the good work, author! Write faster, it's worth reading at your own pace. The two male leads' relationship isn't progressing quickly, and there are no major issues so far. The side couple is also quite enjoyable. The only downside is the word count. Keep it up, author! ⛽️

The author wrote it exceptionally well 🥰🥰 I initially thought it would be a sweet story, but it turned out to be a bit angsty in the middle 😢 Watching this made me feel like I was being seriously controlled. After XQL broke up, everyone said the other person dumped him, but it was clearly the top who initiated the breakup! The bottom didn't want to break up.

I've been following this author's three books in a row, so the writing is guaranteed to be excellent. The premise of this book is great, the friendship between the three main characters is very well portrayed, and the main and side storylines so far are all quite good, plus the side couples are really enjoyable. So far, I haven't found anything particularly outrageous, so it's definitely worth a try! You won't regret it!

The writing is good, and the emotions are very delicate; it's worth reading. (*´I`*) A person who doesn't believe in love may suddenly develop a strong affection for another person. This love is very precious. It is a treasure, and a miracle. "Love fades quickly, but friendship lasts longer." Love is fleeting, and true feelings can change in an instant.
