Synopsis

[A goofy, chatty, cheerful bottom x a cold, scheming, blind top (blind at first, then pretending to be blind)]

[Both pure + happy ending + top-focused romance + transmigration into a book + lighthearted humor + sweet romance + everyone’s favorite + face-slapping comeuppance + rivals fighting for love]

Li Chu hit the jackpot while delivering takeout, then transmigrated into a book.

There, he became the cannon-fodder older brother of the story’s universally adored protagonist.

The older brother was an evil rich kid, lecherous and perverted.

So as soon as Li Chu arrived, he was thrown into a shocking scene: his family caught him in bed with someone.

Beside him, the universally adored protagonist silently shed tears.

At the door, family members of all ages stared in shock and fury.

Li Chu wiped his face, knowing that unless he did something, he might be finished.

So he slapped himself six times, fell to his knees, and wailed:

“I’m a terrible person! What have I done?”

“I’ve let down Dad, Mom, my sister, my younger brother, and most of all, myself!”

“I can’t forgive myself. I’m leaving the Li family right now, and I’ll never set foot in this house again!”

He hurried away, rented a place, found a job, and went back to delivering takeout.

A month later, he was thinner and livelier, no longer greasy, and had turned back into one fresh-faced, handsome guy!

Ah, life was wonderful.

But...

Why was his friend looking at him strangely?

Why was the universally adored protagonist looking at him strangely?

Why were the protagonist’s classmates looking at him strangely?

Why was the protagonist’s teacher looking at him strangely?

Even the handsome blind neighbor was looking at him strangely?

Wait, man, are you really blind?

Li Chu, now pursued by everyone, fell silent.

This world had truly gone insane...

This one needs no introduction. I've finally gotten my hands on it; the plot is fast-paced, the main characters are intelligent and have their own opinions, and there aren't many awkward moments. It's just that the portrayal of the straight male lead isn't quite perfect, but it's still better than many other books with this kind of straight male submissive character. Definitely worth reading.

So beautiful! 🥺 Men get their periods after watching this 🙄 Women go crazy after watching this 💪🏻 This is the nemesis of depression 😎 It's the alarm clock for vegetative patients 😭 So cute that tears streamed from my mouth, flooding the Qiantang River 😱 So cool 😘 God is my rose, illuminating my dark life and giving my world meaning ☺️ I ran and jumped, I danced the tango on the 20th-floor balcony…

So good! I stayed up two nights straight to finish it 😄 First of all, the male lead is the only one I've seen who's both aloof and witty—a super cute contrast! Early on: "I have no obligation to be nice." Later: "I have no obligation to be aloof" (of course, this is just a bias towards the other character). The other character is also very unique, a sunny and cheerful big boy!

It's so good! The plot is quite original too. I really love Li Nian. Can it be a 1v2 situation? I'm so moved I could cry.

Li Chuzai is so cute~~~ He has the perfect innocent college student vibe. Chi Ye is also pretty good... What to do? This seme is quite ideal. Assistant Qiao has such good taste; no wonder he got to pay so much extra. This book is so beautiful~~~ (♡◕ω◕♡)(つ˘◡˘)づ♥

I finished reading it in one go, and what struck me most was how genuinely relatable it felt. Both the official accounts and the protagonists' perspectives were incredibly logical, with very strong moral values. I've read opinions suggesting that novels shouldn't concern themselves with things like fact and fiction, but I think a more realistic and authentic story makes me feel more involved.

It's well-written, but I really liked Li Nian. Seeing that the blind man was the main character was quite upsetting. However, the writing style is good and the plot is very interesting. I will definitely read the synopsis first before reading any book in the future.

Overall, the writing is decent, and the plot is very logical and without problems. Zero goes from being universally disliked to universally loved, while some of the other male leads in the original story are quite awful. I'll briefly discuss the character settings, though this doesn't represent everyone's opinion.

The earlier chapters were full of foreshadowing, and each character's background was very fresh. Although I haven't read it for very long, I feel that this story will definitely not be simple later on. Every supporting character in this story really hit my sweet spot. In one word, it's good! In two words, it's wonderful! In three words, it's fantastic! In four words, it's excellent! In five words, I love you, Dao Dao! 😜

Overall, it's acceptable. The plot transitions were decent, but the emotional development felt a bit dragged out, especially the relationship between Nian and Chu. I can understand that Nian is Chu's younger brother, and Chu feels sorry for him, but I think it would have been better to leave it at that. Developing it any further would have felt too drawn out.
