Name: Big Dipper
Author: Meng Xishi

Synopsis

Overnight, everything turned upside down.

Ling Shu went from a lazy little cop who was content to coast through life to a criminal suspect condemned by everyone.

With no other choice, he had to fight to survive and clear his name.

Yue Ding Tang couldn’t stand Ling Shu’s habit of taking it easy and never lifting a finger if he could avoid it.

Then one day, he suddenly realized that the person he’d been trying to criticize and reform might not be a useless, lazy pig after all, but

a ferocious beast pretending to be a pig.

You walk this mortal world, your name is the North Star.

Your loyal heart burns bright, and green pines bow before you.

Also known as: “The Story of a Boss Who Spends Every Day Picking Fights and a Subordinate Who’s Always Slacking Off and Scheming Against Him”

“From Hating Each Other as Rivals to a Great Leap Forward: What on Earth Happened Between Them?”

Pairing: A once-glamorous leading man who now just wants to laze around, eat well, and say whatever suits the occasion, but is in poor health, as the bottom, and a seemingly refined and gentle top who actually holds grudges and loves stirring up trouble

Republican-era mystery, happy ending

2026 BL Reading List

HE only, 1v1. Mostly farming stories, usually from the shou's perspective. Not into harem magnets, multiple versions of one character, too much subplot romance, or BE. Be sure to check the comments.
