[Comedy + two male leads + frail, fussy, high-IQ beauty + slow-burn tension + genius professor + deadpan comedy + high-IQ mind games]
Jiang Anshan’s life motto:
Life is about staying still; happiness is about courting death.
A doctoral adviser at just 22, he went to college at 13, has an IQ of 170, and is widely recognized as an academic genius.
But he’s too lazy to do the math himself, so he relies entirely on AI.
He has a face no one could bring themselves to lay a hand on.
But he also has a mouth that makes everyone want to punch him.
He met the richest trust-fund kid in all of City H.
Then managed to offend every single person around him.
A transmigrate-into-a-book System, a harem magnet aura, everyone chasing after the love interest, angsty romance, chasing the wife... No, chasing the husband.
None of the above.
Jiang Anshan is just an utterly ordinary, weak-hearted, nobody of a doctoral adviser who lets a Tomato novel guide his life.
P.S.
Here are some serious content warnings and reading suggestions:
A lighthearted BL comedy told from the bottom’s point of view. Don’t try to figure out who the top is in the early chapters, because whoever you think it is can temporarily be the top.
The male lead is an eccentric character, but once you accept that he’s not normal, everything that happens in City H seems perfectly normal.
Some chapters in the prologue arc have been tagged by category. Most readers are advised to skip chapters marked [Academics].
As for why these chapters readers don’t like are still here, it’s because the author likes writing them.
The author is a legendary web-novel embroiderer. They write slowly, and the embroidery... isn’t all that good either. It’s a free novel, so just bear with it.
