Li Zhao is a poor, 20-year-old actor who only thinks of where his next meal is coming from. After growing up in a child only facility, Li Zhao has taken on a very optimistic personality even while raising money for those he sees as family.

On the other hand, 28-year-old rich businessman Yan Ting is super pessimistic.

Yan Ting: Life is no fun. What is the difference between life and death?

Li Zhao: Life is very happy.

The world in Yan Ting’s heart was very grey until he met Li Zhao. He thought, this must be the liveliest person in the world. Otherwise, how could Li Zhao be so lively in his heart every day?

I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed reading this novel. It's the kind of novel that is short and sweet, without unnecessary drama. There was even a small part that poked fun at the novels that incorporate s*upid misunderstanding that build a mountain out of a molehill, which I found to be hilarious. It's a fun twist on reincarnation novels where the main couple did not reincarnate at all, rather two side characters did. It was a fun, light, and enjoyable read. I highly recommend it if you want... more>> to read something light and fun <<less

First of all, thank you so much for translating it, your translations are awesome as always.

If you are tired of all the drama and misunderstandings, this is a really good story to read. It's all fluff and sweet, "problems" are solved really quickly and it's nothing dramatic. MC and ML are both lovely and have good chemistry.

As everyone before me said, it just makes you very happy :)

Sweet story.

I loved the MC. In the beginning, MC comes across as the typical naive, sweet and silly MC in bl novels. Instead, MC is actually a warm and pragmatic person. I love how protective he is of ML. We finally have a MC who beats up people badmouthing the ML. Lol. Go Zhao Zhao. Hahahaha

ML is the poor little rich boy. I was so glad that the face-slapping was minimum and taken care of quickly. I absolutely loved the small theater of kindergarten MC and ML. So adorable.

My fav... more>> side character was Song Yu. This guy was just too good.

The only thing that bugged me

Spoiler

Towards the end, MC finds his parents. This made the story too perfect. Personally, I think MC (orphan) becoming family with ML (orphan) was enough. The last few chapters were too contrived.

[collapse]

Recommended read. Especially the mini-theater. <<less

I got curious and MTL-ed it.

And I have no regrets. It's a surprisingly easy MTL.. Though sometimes I got confused, who is mushroom? Whatever is with this conversation? What is going on right now? Lol

Am still waiting for translator san to do his/her magic and save the world.

This story is satisfying in term of fluffiness and emotional development. Especially Yan Ting emotional turmoil and Zhao Zhao character growth.

... more>>
Spoiler

Yan Ting has tendency to become domineering and yandereish but nope, from the start, he respects every decision of Zhao Zhao even if he leaves him. You can see that he loves Zhao Zhao so much he isn't willing to make him feel wronged. I love how he goes from "I don't want him to leave me. I will never hand him to anyone else." to "I will try to make him happy with me for a lifetime."

And Zhao zhao which I thought as a gullible naive person is in fact a panda, it's a bear but you forgot that it actually has a ferocious nature esp. Regarding his loved ones. But I love the fact that to people who isn't too malicious, he just brush it off as a humanity selfishness and tries to look at the world with positive outlook. It made me question my on sarcasm towards life.

[collapse]

That is what I love. What I don't love :

Spoiler

Is how little the PDA and papapa is. It's more Shounen Ai than Yaoi. And it can't satisfy my naughty mind. Lol

This is a warm, fluffy slice of life modern BL novel with a happy go-lucky entertainment actor and a very lonely CEO. They are both young and handsome.

It's by the same author as Ascending, Do Not Disturb, The Job of an Imperial Concubine, Eight Treasure Trousseau and To Be A Virtuous Wife. This author excels in writing really reasonable, kind, bright main characters. This is the first modern, and first BL novel, I've read from her.

MC Li Zhao is a hardworking, easygoing, low-tier actor with a huge appetite. We later... more>> learn that he was
Spoiler

abandoned as a child, abused by adoptive parents, rescued, and grew up in a welfare home. After he turned 18 (and I assume he aged out of the welfare home), he worked hard to make money for his friend's surgery and to survive.

[collapse]
. He grew up very poor and hungry, so he never had a chance to be a picky eater. So he's really focused on making money to eat, which is quite different from other entertainers who want face/pride/glory. He is innocent and likeable in manner from being sheltered and poor, but is also very pragmatic and can protect himself.

ML Yan Ting is a rich, powerful CEO who lives alone. He has serious emotional issues stemming from

witnessing his parents' death as a child,

[collapse]
and normally would never come into contact with anyone like Li Zhao.

Li Zhao saves and befriends Yan Ting whom he believes to be a waiter getting manhandled by a hotel customer, and Yan Ting (so far) doesn't tell him about his real identity to enjoy the genuine friendship. (There is no confession yet, and this author doesn't do smut).

Li Zhao is schemed against in the entertainment circle time and time again, but triumphs over all in a funny, innocent way. My favourite side character is Song Yu, an acting rival who develops into a friend over the course of the story.

Interestingly, there is one villain who is reborn and is now intent on stealing all of Li Zhao's opportunities, and one side character who has a dream of the future. However, both of these people only have knowledge of an alternate life - a life where Li Zhao never met Yan Ting, and Yan Ting died an early death - so they are flummoxed by the current timeline, in which Li Zhao meets Yan Ting and they affect each other's fates positively.

Anyway, this is a very warm, fuzzy, happy read. It's a slice of life, so it's a bit slower and relaxing to read. The MC is well written and easy to like (just like Kong Hou in Ascending Do Not Disturb). <<less

it's such a good short read.

I never expected to love this as much as I did.

the MC is such a good child. Good doesn't even begin to describe him. The ML is a sweet child too. Both have had their own problems and yet through each other, they find peace and I f*cking love it.

... more>> they were so sweet fk. I highlight a number of moments between them.

I would say this is a feel good kinda novel. I appreciate this kind of MC and ML and thoroughly enjoyed reading about their relationship. <<less

Reading "Very Happy" made me very happy. A light hearted read with no dog blood drama. Sweet and fluffy.

The MC is introduced as a naive character but, in reality he is very smart and pretends to be dumb. He is full of positivity. His character is lovable. As for the ML he is always described with a hint of mystery around him. He is very protective of the MC and is also a devoted lover.

The plot line was simple and but it was a bit draggy with fillers in the... more>> middle.

All in all, recommended to read! <<less

As a fellow TingTing myself, I found this novel really enjoyable. It's lighthearted, and everything goes right for the main characters.

A great story, the MC and ML are both each other’s light in their life. They both had sad childhoods and without each other they would have both ended up in tragedy. The MC is the only light in the ML’s world and the ML supported the MC wholeheartedly. Very sweet novel.

This novel is a slice to life. I learned a lot of lesson in life. Zhao Zhao is an optimistic person despite all the challenges he went through in life. He is so inspiring.

I love this. It does not have a lot of challenges and plot twist but this is a good read.

The ML is also good to ZHAO Zhao. It's such a nice storyyy. Plus, the translation is completed so that's a plus.

I really love this story. Hays. I don't know if this is because of hormone issues but... more>> Zhao Zhao's story made me cried. He suffered a lot. Plus, the author subtlely showed through Xu bei that Zhao Zhao and Tingting had different lives in the other lives but in this life, their lives changed completely for good. I love Zhao Zhao and Tingting's relationship.

I was hoping for more special chapters!! <<less

Beware of high blood sugar. This story is like, 2% sad and 97% sugar and funnies and 1% of fans being fans.

I read this in 3 days and just—argh. The translator did such a good job and I cried for 2 scenes and my heart hurt real nice, but the rice is just lovely love.

I hope you a very happy reading.

Rating: 3.7

I started very interested in the mental illness of the ML, contrasting nicely with the optimistic personality of the MC, but as the novel progressed I felt like a cool and deep plot about overcoming mental illness was dropped for fluff and gossip typical of a showbiz CN novel. I agree with a lot of Idlehands points in their review.

Tbh when I reached the end of the novel I don't really think it even fits the tags psychological and 'drama' that much. The drama is really just all that... more>> weird gossip CN authors like to write about, where they talk about how X Y Z characters are either insulting or praising the MCs. Then they talk about how fan circles of said MCs are reacting. I skipped half the novel skimming through all that.

Pros:

I liked the MC and ML's dynamic. The MC at least has a spine and sticks up for himself whenever necessary, while remaining energetic and happy despite his circumstances. He also really dotes on the ML and always make sure he eats and is taken care of. When the novel finally got to the relationship part 90 or so chs in, the MC was the one making the first move and courting the ML. The ML was very even-tempered and rather... shy around the MC, I actually liked him a bit more than the MC. He was so afraid to lose the MC's favor that he didn't dare confess or hope for more. It was pretty cute.

Cons:

The ML clearly had dissociative problems and major depression, which was causing him to slowly die from lack of self of care at the beginning of the novel. While I believe that meeting a supportive person that loves you can improve depression a lot, it isn't a 100% cure. Especially not with the ML's other issues, like the nightmares and disassociation. I felt like by the end of the novel these issues were hand-waved to make room for a perfect ending, which kind of undermined why I read the novel in the first place. ML even stopped taking his medication! It would have been more impactful if he eventually shared about his mental health issues with the MC and they worked through it together. To me, even improving from his initial state to a better daily life seems great, why do so many novels with mental illness have to make it magically go away?

Same with the side characters that randomly remember a different time line. What even is the point of that...??? To know things would go horribly wrong if MC never met ML... good god yes, any reader could understand that before meeting MC, ML was headed to the grave, I don't think we needed random characters talking about an alternative timeline.

Also others characters say the ML is a psychopath, and even he himself thinks about how terrible he is for his 'dark thoughts', but he's actually extremely patient and kind. I can't tell if the author was trying to show that the ML has low self-esteem and incorrectly believes he'll become like his parents (and this could have been another great plot point if the MC found out about this but it never came up), or if the author just wanted to make readers worry that he is secretly a yandere. Cause' I mean, look at his actions. The worst ML did was send people who committed crimes to jail and lie about his job position to the MC. The MC beat up way more people than the ML in this novel. Everybody has 'bad' thoughts, but as long as you don't carry them out, you can still be a good person. With how the ML was presented in the novel, even if the MC tried to leave him, I bet he'd just watch him go, extremely heartbroken, then probably try to commit su*cide later. I don't think he has it in him to suddenly go 100% yandere and I wish the author didn't drop the slightest suggestion that was the case.

Honestly... it was disappointing, what could have been great characterization and plot turned out to be dog food and feel-good story the whole way through. Every time I thought the CP might have a fight over something or maybe an antagonist would appear, it was resolved within the chapter. Even when it was revealed the ML lied to the MC and when the MC found out about ML's past, it was all quickly resolved. The ML is, of course, super powerful and rich so every issue in the showbiz world is also glossed over within a chapter and is pretty much just meaningless fluff writing.

Essentially, the MC and ML are at their lowest points at the VERY beginning of the novel, and things progressively just get better... and better.... until it reaches that perfect ending, without there being any dips or tribulations along the way. Sigh, you people who love fuzzy warmhearted healing stories with just a tiny spec of darkness (the MC's past and ML's mental illness) will enjoy. I blame the SHOW-BIZ setting! I swear to god 90% of showbiz stories are just pointless chapter-long ramblings about what fans think online and the how the MC and ML easily beats everyone in acting.

Anyway, I guess my 3.7 rating is based on the fact that I did like the main characters
Spoiler

I mean yeah... a somewhat down-to-earth and optimistic MC making sure sad depressed ML gets his meals on time is legit the kind of dog-food I live off of so I had to keep reading for that at least...

The description is accurate. Li Zhao is so positive. I adore him. I agree that he has a wholesome feel.

The couple is cute. They get together around chapter 90, but it's a strong relationship before that. There is a bit of possessiveness, but it's not overbearing.

Also, the story has the 'Self reliant child is later able to be spoiled a little' element which I really like.

Read seven chapters and it didn’t really catch my interest. Still, since I didn’t get far, I decided to leave it unrated for now. All I can say is that it seems to be a pretty average slice-of-life story. The main character is a veritable white lotus and the ML is a mysterious, rich, and cold love interest. If you’re looking for an easy, no-brained kind of read, I think this one might work for you! Might reread it in the future myself, though that’ll probably be a while.

It was kind of generic and even MC and ML are generic (your typical gary-stu protagonist and his kuudere indomitable obsessed partner). A feel good type of novel that you can read without using braincells.

Except for a side character I love to death: Song Yu. Ironically, it's him who made me stay and read the whole thing. I love him so much. He's so shamelessly unapologetic for being a s*n of a b*tch and he's the most relatable character around (and that assistant's fujoshi girlfriend too but she barely had... more>> any screentime). He has one of the most character development I've seen.
Spoiler

He really grew from being lowkey malicious to genuinely caring about Li Zhao. Even if he denies it and says it's just him clinging to a golden thigh, he's still the one who dreamt about what happened "before" (he's a regressor, kind of) and had a panic attack on the spot when he realized he's attending Li Zhao's funeral (Li Zhao in that world died at 30 from overwork). That only showed how much he really cared about Li Zhao as his friend now compared from the beginning when he was stealing Li Zhao's resources (perks of regressing: you know what's gonna be hot).

[collapse]

I can write thousands of words for him lmao that's how much I love that tsundere. Nonetheless, I binged this novel for 2-3 days and there was only slight regret. Translation: 5/5 <<less
