I Have Paid Too Much For This Home

Su Xingchen inherited a house where a rare spatial overlap occurred inside.

The person who ‘cohabited’ with him was a young and handsome entrepreneurial elite. This president was very pitiful. Everyday, he didn’t eat well or sleep well, and even had nightmares at night.

Since they happened to live ‘together,’ Su Xingchen also helped the other person cook and clean in passing.

For example, when eating glutinous rice with chicken for breakfast, he shared some. When eating beef stew and cucumber salad for lunch, he shared some. When eating bitter melon scrambled eggs at night … Oh, don’t like bitter melon? Ok, have pork stir-fry with wood ear mushroom instead!

One month later, Su Xingchen was pleased to discover that the president had been fattened up by him (don’t you think?)!

However, what Su Xingchen thought was a mutually harmonious companionship, somehow turned him into the other person’s ‘white moonlight’ (unattainable love).

Cute, Sweet, Fluffy and somewhat healing to read. When I read I keep scream that omg SuXing!!! Listen to mommy!! THAT'S NOT WHAT FRIENDS DO TO EACH OTHER lol

There's a bit of drama to add more spice to the story too. But it just really a littleeeeee bit. Just to make story more eventful yet not too heavy feeling.

I kind of like their relationship. Both are look like they're from different world but in fact, a same kind of lonely spirits.

I enjoyed the premise, and most of the book is good! I like the idea of cohabitation and the gentle subtle sweetness that comes with it, the two individual characters have their own set of backgrounds and history, stories they need to develop. Not sure how well they developed individually, but since the MC did grow, his character growth comes at the cost of the farming life he lead being abandoned for school instead. So in the end, while I was expecting more of a sweet natured story but got... more>> a slice of life slightly psychological story instead.

The latter part, especially the ending and extras are quite confusing to read. So the immersiveness is definitely not as good as the beginnings. I got what happened, and the general gist of it. But it does feel a bit rushed as the others have said, the MC and ML had progressed to friends and then the move to lovers is a little. It's a little weird, but I'm not spooked. Anyways, <<less

4.5/5 MC is a cute innocent but wary guy who's good and cooking while ML is a busy wealthy boss man. The special spatial house connection was an interesting idea (but not explained so should be taken as is) and added to the plot. The overall story was very sweet and cute for the first half or 3/4 but the last part felt rushed and everything was quite unclear. It might be partially translation got sloppy or the author's original, but the later half just rushed into MC suddenly jumping... more>> from innocent boy to very very ambiguous relationship with ML who which he had only thought of as a friend and then a brother (for like barely a few days). The leap from friends to relationship was quite sudden, and MC's recovery from his state of mind was also not properly explained. Otherwise, a cute sweet and fluffy novel that is good as a casual read. <<less

It's a pretty good story on a subpar level, though it did fell halfway into the story and it felt like the author themselves was frustrated with their relationship so they kicked it to give it a boost which made our ML become the atypical overbearing president and MC the naive youthful student.

It really doesn't reflect his (ML) previous actions and ideas from before.

In my opinion, if it wasn't for the author's intervention and things did progressed that way, then these two obviously wouldn't be together for long with how... more>> rushed/forced/manipulated their relationship felt. On the other hand, if author didn't intervene and gently let the relationship blossom for longer, than it's more likely for the two to stay together for the long run and it wouldn't have had this forced and semi-toxic feeling to it. As Ji Jiaying once said:

"I'd rather have You Feng (xin) suffer in the affairs of love then be blessed and achieve it so easily"

Spoiler

Because Yu Feng (xin) 's only experience in a relationship, that was with his ex, Ji Jiaying, was a bit too perfect of a relationship. He didn't had to suffer or try to do anything, Ji Jiaying even says that he didn't even fought with her at all. It's why they broke up in the first place, alongside him being busy with work which is why he didn't continue the relationship, it was the clean break kind of break up. Which is why I wholeheartedly agree with Ji Jiaying about him needing to suffer for love and loving someone.

[collapse]

Its cruel considering the past of the ML but hey, it works better.

For MC, although author pushed the story into a fast and satisfying end, he didn't seem to have dramatically changed regardless. Though I did hate how the author kept the idea of the MC being naive, young and easily pleased that didn't help with how increasingly toxic the ML was becoming. Su Xing (chen) didn't seem entirely helpless but at the same time he was helpless all the way, letting ML play him into his palm and arms.

Aside from the downhill development, from the start, it was very good! The slow and gentle soothing of two people trying to heal their scars and the other's unknowingly in a cohabitating relationship where they don't know who the other is but welcomes them nonetheless is a beautiful concept!

Spoiler

Though I did wished the MC was a little more older, Dr. Fang playing more into the story, the idea that Su Xing (chen), after graduating, would live in the countryside with his dogs and chickens and farming, probably never to pursue his career as a journalist. Actually, I think author even gave up on it as the story progressed and Yu Feng (xin) got a little more unstable and problematic and Su Xing (chen) was being played into this co-dependent relationship. So when I read the extras and it never eluded into them staying together forever, my heart was at ease and I can peacefully say my headcanon of the two breaking up afterwards is very plausible.

[collapse]

Even though I said all that, I still suggest you read it! It's a good study on how to properly time the development of a relationship/plot. 4/10 <<less

At first, I really liked how the relationship was developing then somewhere towards the end, the ML suddenly turned into the cliché possessive overbearing president and I was like ????

The MC was very mary sue at times but his interactions with the ML has some personality and sweetness which I like. It also wasn't a purely superficial relationship based on appearance which seems to plague 90% of the bl I read. Anyways, I enjoyed this novel in the beginning but it fell off halfway

This Novel is really Late Romance kind of type of Novel. It's not Slow Romance because the Romance only shown in the last 1/3 part of the story ! Most, if not All of the moments between MC and ML at the beginning until their second meeting was all Platonic and Heartwarming like in Friendship or Family Novel!!!

The Romantic Tension started on their Second Meeting where they finally Hangout together.

But anyway, the story works so well for them! For this kind of theme, it's not boring at all!!! I genuinely... more>> LOVE how Enjoyable this Novel! It was Comforting, Light, Refreshing, Heartwarming, Fun, and Gosh; makes me want to Eat! The MC cooks and the interaction between MC and ML most of time is because the Foods! It made me Hungry without feeling Hungry!!! The mentioned of all food was that appetizing!!!

Let's talk about MC and ML's characteristics. MC is Sweet, Kinda Shy but also has one Tough moment, Cute, Absolutely Lovable Character! ML is has Tough personality. At the beginning he was shown as kinda Cold, but most of time he was like Normal Kinda Grumpy, has Arrogant side, but also Caring and Protective even when he barely know MC on their first meeting. After he know MC, he was fully care about him. But still with the Overbearing President self. But not the bad annoying kind!!! Anyway both MC and ML might have flaw, but they're Absolutely Great Characters!!!

And the development of their relationship feels so natural!

I'm very Pleased with this Novel! It may not be Perfect novel, but it was Full filling and Satisfying! I'm Absolutely Loving it!!! <<less

Before I start, I want to say thank you to the translator (White Moon x Black Sun)

This novel is full of fluff and there's not much conflict. Even there is some, it's solved pretty quickly.

The story started when MC's dad died and MC got depressed so MC returned to his father's house in his hometown.

... more>> Su Xing, the MC is a gentle, cute, and considerate bottom. He has amazing cooking skills.

Yu Feng, the ML is a type of ML that is cold outside and warm inside. He is also a little possesive to MC.

This novel had some things that couldn't be explained logically but I think it doesn't really matter.

The novel ended when MC and ML ended up together. I felt a little sad because I wanted to see them grow old together.

I think this novel is worth reading, It's simple but sweet BL story. <<less

This novel was unexpectedly wholesome and full of fluff considering how it got tags like loneliness and depression. It's a story of healing and healing each other. I really liked that.

There is no real drama and everything is smooth sailing. The relationship between the MC and ML is also moving naturally. It's not abrupt, so points for that.

I actually liked the MC despite my general preference for cool-headed and mature MCs. He has other qualities that I like. Despite being naive he is not ultra dense. And he doesn't follow... more>> the pure adorable route either thanks to his depression.

As for the ML, he has his own burdens that weigh him down and make him your typical cold CEO character. But as the story progresses, his character develops to be more caring, cheerful and happy thanks to the MC which made me happy.

I feel like this is a good story to read when you are feeling down and need something wholesome to pick you up. It certainly worked for me which is why I give 5/5 stars. <<less

✨o ((*^▽^*)) o✨I'm drowning in cuteness once again but I must stay strong because it's the translations are ongoing (。ŏ﹏ŏ). Won't say more until it's completed< ( ̄︶ ̄) >

Edit: 4.5 Stars, it doesn't look like much but I have to give it this the story not only have an unsatisfying ending, I personally didn't like that the ML just seemed like he brushed off the MC's depression with just one line, when HE was the one that had constant nightmares and bad coping mechanisms from his closet of demons. I... more>> really did loved how it began and I love laid back/slice of life stories, it's a pity there aren't more chapters to give it justice. ಥ_ಥ

P.S: I know that there were other things that didn't make sense like the plot holes and loose ends from various situations that popped up; but those things are more or less a common thing when it comes to light reads╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ <<less

45. So far so good. Actually when I read this, I wish the author wrote more about their day to day life experiences. I think about the food appear-reappear, the fresh food missing, Yu Feng notice and curious, sort of. It feels like, the MC cooks, the ML eats, then the ML has his life, the MC has his life. I wish the story more focusing on the detail of.. How they live their life tgt in the magical space. The small things etc. But its more like the magical... more>> space is the gate for MC and ML to meet/build a relationship. It's good, but its not what I imagine it will be. <<less

A very sweet and loving BL story. The MC is the most loving boy I have read about; he is too adorable and sweet. The ML is also quite good and their love grows in a very natural way. As usual, I enjoyed reading the comments of the viewers watching the broadcast of the MC; in fact, for any modern novel that includes online activity that is my favorite part.

Its a cute and fluffy story. I recommend reading this novel if u are looking for this type. MC is like a loving wife who cares for the ML, tho I feels that the romance is kind of abrupt (the last few chps), while the ML is pretty cool about MC tho he cannot see him!

Food & farming + broadcast novel (slice-of-life), a bit repetitive, slow-paced, fluffy.

Spoiler

It's only chapter 11 and the author has repeated the MC's back story, ML's tragic past and their individual loneliness like at least 4 times already. It's a bit frustrating after a while. It feels like I'm re-reading the same content. Each chapter isn't too long either.

It's a cute story so far, although filled with holes.

For example-

... more>>
Spoiler

Our MC and ML live in the same house. However, MC can see the ML, but the ML can't see the MC. However, if the MC happens to run into ML outside of the house, ML can see him.

Why is this? Is the house sentient? And if it is, is it just some weirdo that makes sure it's tenants can't interact with each other, for no reason?

[collapse]

Spoiler

I though at first that they were living in two alternate universes and the only way for MC and ML would be able to interact is if the MC crawled through the ripple thingy.

MC even uses a brand of lunchbox that doesn't seem to exist on ML's side, which I thought made sense. But now it seems they're in the same universe and world. It's just that, for some reason, they can't interact within that house?

I'm going to assume that the house is divided in two areas. The MC lives in a more rural area, whilst the ML is somewhere Urban? I'm not really sure.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I was a little confused with how the sharing of food worked as well. For example, the ML decided to get MC some cakes, but the MC couldn't eat it because the ripple in the house only worked one way. MC could send food, but ML could not.

But then later the ML places a bunch of food in the refrigerator and the MC was able to use it?? Maybe I misread the mtl or something.

[collapse]

Anyway, aside from those issues, the story is super cute.

The romance over all flows pretty easily. Although the characters tended to keep secrets from each other, the reveal of those secrets weren't earth shattering or dramatic. <<less

Super fluffy! It won't please the cynics though since you need to suspend logic more than a few times. But if you can get over the "illogical" stuff, you'll find that it's really heartwarming and sweet. It makes you wish the novel was longer so that more details can be fleshed out but on the other hand, the story's brevity helps make it a nice, little gem.
