Synopsis

[Two male leads, transmigrate into a book, little ones, love, friendship, and family affection, everyone’s favorite]

Gu Zhiwang was born into a marquis’s household and grew up surrounded by flowers and affection, the family’s little darling.

His father indulged him, his mother doted on him, and his older brother looked out for him.

At seven, Gu Zhiwang only had to worry about what to eat and what to play. He knew nothing of sorrow.

Until he discovered he was the fake young master and a sacrificial side character in a book. His ending was horrific: the true young master, the protagonist, would return home, kill him, and leave him to die in the snake pit he feared most.

Gu Zhiwang clenched his little fists and swallowed nervously. He was a reasonable child, he told himself. He wouldn’t steal someone else’s parents.

Overnight, the marquis’s household was turned upside down. The legitimate young master of the family’s main branch was replaced, and the true young master, just brought in from the village, arrived earlier than expected.

Gu Zhiwang secretly went to see the young general who would one day raid the marquis’s household and kill him, yet lead troops to wipe out the barbarians and protect his country. He was stunned to find that the boy looked nothing like the rumored rakshasa with three heads and six arms who ate children.

Who could have guessed that the future protagonist was currently a soft, teary-eyed little crybaby, sensitive and insecure?

The two little boys crouched in a corner. Little Gu Wang comforted and encouraged him, patting his chest as he bragged that he would protect him.

Later, when Gu Zhiwang packed his things to return to his own home, the entire marquis’s household stopped him. Gu Zhixu even clung to his leg, wailing.

Ah, it’s all because I’m too popular.

From then on, the marquis’s household gained a pampered young guest. He had fine clothes, delicious food, and everything he could want. Nothing had changed, except now there was one more person to spoil him.

Gu Zhiwang thought he and Gu Zhixu shared a brotherly bond that could move heaven and earth. But when the frog in the slowly warming water finally poked its head out, he realized: wait, why does this feel off?

It's great! After finishing "My Days of Studying in Ancient Times," I've been looking for a similar style of story but couldn't find any. Then I stumbled upon this one, and it has a similar feel to it. It's really good! The family relationships are so well-written. The young Wang Ge'er is so adorable, I'm crying!

I finished reading it. The plot was smooth and complete, but what really bothered me was that the male lead (gong) felt like a tool, an accessory to the other character (shou), deliberately made to highlight the other's goodness by being harsh on him. Whether in the past or present life, the male lead's experiences were truly heartbreaking. In this life, the author could have treated him better.

Very good. The real and fake young masters don't have to be a comparison group at all. Wang Ge'er has his own principles and endearing qualities, and Xu Ge'er also has his own goals and pursuits. The two people whose fates are intertwined can grow together.

This adorable little dumpling is just too cute! Sunny, cheerful, and genuinely affectionate, this seemingly carefree little rascal is such a clever little devil. He's so good at sweet-talking people, adorable and soft-hearted, like a little sun, warm and comforting—completely irresistible! 🥰🥰🥰 Heartwarming and healing, and definitely worth reading! This book is absolutely addictive! 💕

To put it simply, it's a good read. The family relationships are definitely the best, in my opinion, followed by friendship and love. I'm not sure if this is an ensemble piece, but if it is, then the ensemble plot revolves entirely around the two main characters, with no clear hierarchy. The plot is quite complete, but even at the end, they didn't kiss.

It's so good! This is the first time I've ever really enjoyed a sweet, doting romance novel with a young male lead. Other novels usually portray the male lead as immature, but this one is so considerate and doesn't have that affected, pretentious feel. 🥰🥰🥰

Gu Zhiwang is so clever and mischievous, but he's not a bad person at heart. He speaks eloquently and can leave people speechless. He's outgoing and cheerful. The author has created a very vivid and lifelike character. Thumbs up! 👍🏻 Keep up the good work, author!

This is so good! I love Wang Ge's personality. Some stories about characters who are the darlings of the group are like walkthroughs, where the protagonist has to go through countless hardships and make contributions at crucial moments to gain favor. This kind of affection feels replaceable and superficial. But Wang Ge's plot is purely driven by his personality. His nature is so likable.
