Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Little screenwriter Gu Nian has a secret. She was a big fan of an 18th-tier actor by the name of Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu was good looking but his acting was awful. He had no work for 2 years, the one time that he was on a show, he was mocked to the point that even his own mother wouldn’t admit that he was her son.

As such, he dropped straight to 18th tier

Gu Nian, on the other hand, was determined to become a gold medal screenwriter and had him be her dedicated male supporting character.

___

Luo Xiu had a loyal fan. Ever since his debut, she did everything that a fan would — wait for him at airports, vote for him online, and wave banners of his. Other fans would waver back and forth but this girl remained his loyal fan for two straight years.

Once she was drunk after they have met each other, she patted him on his shoulder, cried and said, “Son, its okay that you are not backed by big bosses! When Mommy become a gold-medal screenwriter, I will back you!”

Luo Xiu: “……”

___

After Gu Nian became a gold-medal screenwriter and signed her contract with a up-and-coming media company, she was summoned to a meeting at their office.

She texted Luo Xiu outside of the conference room, “Son! Mommy can back you now! Just you wait!”

Soon after she sent the message, she heard a notification chime coming from in front of her.

Gu Nian looked up, puzzled, and saw a very familiar handsome face.

The secretary introduced the two of them, “Miss Gu, this is our CEO, Luo Xiu.”

Gu Nian: …..?

Secretary: “Boss Luo, this is….”

“No need for introduction, I know her.” Luo Xiu looked up after he finished reading the text. His eyes a dark black color. “This is the boss who has been backing me behind the scene.”

Everyone: ….? ? ?

Don't be fooled by the title, this is not an entirely comedic story.. I Loved this story a lot. Nothing too heavy or dramatic or serious but the emotions are set perfectly combined with a load of comedies.

FL is a mommy fan of the 180 tier actor but the ML slowly falls in love with the FL hiding his true identity. Everything slowly unveils and Ml-FL gets a happy ending..

I put it completed even though I haven't finish all the extras. But I'm done with the Main Story and Main Extras aka the continued of the main story. The rest of the extras that I haven't done read was an AU and I WILL read it, just a bit later.

Anyway this is such a Fun story! The first Translator did Amazing job and man... The comment sections was sooo FUN to read! We all enjoyed the Jokes of MC being a Doting and Protective 'Mother' and ML get the... more>> Son-zoned. Lol

It's get even funnier because MC is 2 years younger than ML but her heart at the beginning was like an Old Mother when looking at ML.

And I Love how the author did Great job at the pace of the story. Because the author mentioned the reason why MC being a 'Mother Fan' and not a Regular Fan or Girlfriend Fan earlier before the reveal of why MC was a Dedicated Devoted Loyal Fan to ML.

Both MC's reasons being a Fan and being a mother Fan was Emotional and touching you in the heart.

This Novel is Sweet and Comedic. Fun but also Fluffy and Heartwarming in sense.

So many times MC'S actions at the beginning made ML goes "???" For someone as Blackbelly as him to be Confused and Speechless. Of course after ML found out MC's 'identity', he's not so speechless anymore. And just keep Loving and Holding her as Freely and Tightly as Possible.

Our ML is Possessive like TRULY have Possessive mind where even he doesn't care much about MC's friends and even want to take her away from them. But of course ML never cross such a Bad Toxic Line. He won't make MC sad. He won't harm her Feelings.

And MC, when everything already revealed, accept everything of ML with Big Heart that Special only for ML. Our MC is NOT Saint nor Pushover, she's just Loving ML sooo MUCH too. She's Fierce and Protective when it's about ML's well being.

So yeah, nothing Toxic and Dubious between them.

The Family Complex of ML's family itself was Unique. Nothing like usual drama of Rich Family....I really want to read the novel about Tang Ran aka ML's brother's girlfriend. Hope someone would continue the translation (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

All in all I LOVE THIS NOVEL SO MUCH! It's Sweet and Precious!!! FOREVER LOVING IT!!! <<less

I have no idea why Eclat thinks that this is a story about fangirling. This is a romance story between the ML and the MC. Readers will learn later on in the story why MC considers herself a mom-fan of the ML. I like this story for the following reasons:

    1. MC is funny. Her identifying herself as a "mom-fan" is part of the humor.
    2. MC is an independent woman before and after ML's identity was "exposed".
    3. Every time I think the story will fall into the cliche trap, the author manages to surprise me.
    4. The story goes at a good pace with the main story ended on chapter 68. The extras are still ongoing, but I am guessing it will end in another chapter or so. Will update on that.
    5. MC has a healthy relationship with her single mother and friends.
Most importantly, it is light-hearted and fluffy.

I cannot help myself from binge reading this after this certain eccentricity from the MC, Gu Nian when she sees her 'son' being 'kabedon-ed' and hugged by a certain woman...
... more>>
Spoiler

Gu Nian was only too anxious to protect her "son". After struggling between "Don't move" and "Let go of him" for 0.1 second, she finally shouted out –

"Don't let go of him!

"Or I am going to call the cops!!"

[collapse]
🤣🤣🤣

ML, Lu Xiu, for me is sort of black belly and a manipulator. He describes his self as someone who have zero sense of morality. As such, all those who knew the real him called him evil dragon. So when they found out he cares for Gu Nian, they applaud her for bravely cluelessly entering the dragon's den.

MC, Gu Nian, is a wise and street smart kind of MC who reasons her way out. MC is kind of OP/talented but it was not emphasize unlike other C-novels... She is a screenwriter, composer and singer. She is also hypersensitive type of person.

I like that Gu Nian being a 'mom' fan was not because of Luo Xiu's face or just for the sake of being handsome type of guy for the plot to continue... There is a deeper and touching reason.

If you just see Gu Nian to be just a fan blindly chasing Luo Xiu in a camouflage known as mom fan that looks like she will never listen to her friends about their observations regarding LX's manipulating tendencies. You are greatly mistaken.

Luo Xiu, for Gu Nian, is her safety net (figuratively and literally) . This is the main reason why she was never deterred nor disillusion even if her friends or someone warns her about Luo Xiu being a manipulator.

For me, the story is good and the Translator is so right about this novel being light hearted and fluffy. <<less

I honestly don't understand how this got such a high rating, or maybe it's because I've never had the experience fangirling over an idol so I couldn't relate to the MC at all. About 70% of this novel is filled with MC gushing over her 'son' with overexaggerated wordings and fantasies, I'm not even kidding. She's hands down obsessive borderline delusional for ML, even though she's a full-fledged grownup.

For me, as someone with no experience fangirling, the plot is extremely silly, childish, with TONS of plot holes that didn't even... more>> make a dent of sense (like how the filthy rich ML ended up as an actor), shallow characters with no growth, and written with mediocre skills. You better off not reading this lest your IQ digress. <<less

You know my fave thing about this is?

the ML is so manipulative lmao. But not in the way that most ML's are in other novels, where they play with the life of the FL just so the FL will depend on them more.

but here, the ML sacrifices himself a lot just so the FL will "save" him lmao. There was this one time where the FL is so afraid of what will happen to the ML if they reveal their relationship so the ML ... more>>
Spoiler

allows a picture of him and the FL to be taken where the FL's face is covered and they were heading out a very expensive neighborhood (where they live but the ML is not known to be rich) and is rumored to be a kept man. So the FL decidedly reveals their relationship to save the ML's reputation

[collapse]

and there are a lot of times where you want to tell the FL to run away from the evil dragon but oh well the evil dragon is so nice to her and he's so goodlooking so <<less

Enjoyable—already had several laughs just a couple of chapters in. The heroine has signs of some swagger and fun, which is what I like in a heroine.

The heroine is a “mom”-type fan, so she is always talking about the ML as her “son” and wants to send him presents and “raise” him. The joke is of course that she is younger than he is, but that ain’t stopping her.

Translator turns out consistently high-quality work. I hope they are able to take this on as a more permanent project instead of... more>> an intermittent one, but we can only wait and hope! <<less

So far so good!! Though it feels like the usual interesting witty MC x cold ML, it has 11/10 plot and the translation flows naturally. The summary pretty much explains the premise of the story, mama fan MC chasing after her secretly bigshot 'actor' ml.

maybe I'm just not into mc's personality and the way it's written? I think the concept is really interesting, the synopsis caught my attention immediately and I was on board. I like the fan elements, the screenwriting, entertainment industry and so on. It's just that MC is presented by the author to be a certain way; clever, talented, and smart. These are all good traits that I love in my fls.

but she never shows herself to be any of these traits, she isn't that intelligent, her actions are frustrating. And... more>> the novel is difficult to enjoy with such a wishy washy protagonist. I really like the male lead and his character, how his actor persona and "son" role contrast against his actual personality.

but I can't see myself continuing this novel, no matter how good the later chapters become because the FL is too unreliable and really not my type. <<less

This novel is a very good thirst quenching novel. It's filled with pink bubbles all around.

Gu Nian (MC) is very likable. She is clever, open minded and straight foward. I find it cute when she tried to spoil Luo Xiu and protect his dignity. She also treats her friends well.

... more>>
Spoiler

The reason she starts liking Luo Xiu is because he saved her from commiting su*cide. To her, he's like an angel whom saved her and gave her a new life. That's why she wanted all the best for Luo Xiu.

[collapse]

Luo Xiu (ML) is very cunning and self aware. He would use a lot of unscrupulous methods to capture the MC, but he would never hurt the MC and even tries to protect her.
Spoiler

The reason he fell in love with Gu Nian is because of her actions. Such as supporting him and caring for him all the time. I really appreciate him for trying to be honest with MC in the end.

[collapse]

The dating part is also written nicely. You see how the ML 'struggle' but it's mostly filled with cute moment.

Don't worry to much about the antagonist in the story. They just come and go.

Although I do feel like some questions were left unanswered but It's still worth reading. <<less

The story as far as im reading has become kind of irritating... I feel like the MC is too blind about the ML. The first few chapters are really interesting but as the story goes on I find it really irritating to the point my eyebrows were starting to meet.

Seriously ... more>>
Spoiler

what the hell is the MC like its been said that she's not someone who has a deep background and she's currently an amateur screen writer without really an official work but then she started acting like a big boss behind the scene with an artificial power/authority threatening somehow (but I interpret it like that) the director tho yeah there's a problem with the crew but like she started saying you cant bully blablabla the ML like she's a hidden boss while in reality she's a screenwriter and an amateur at that. And don't get me with the lies after lies and misunderstanding that doesn't seem to stop yet. Seriously... She should atleast have the power to save herself first before trying to save the ML to make it worthwhile. Its like she's asking for a beating sighhhh

[collapse]

The story is seriously stressing me out but the translator is doing a good job but then again I mtl the chapters so im not sure how accurate it is but as far as I'm reading it I cant really help it.

P. S. ANYWAY THIS IS JUST MY OPINION BOUT THIS STORY. <<less

The main couple really reminds me of the main characters from another chinese novel named 'I Am Not Fit to Be the Male Lead’s First Love'. The MC here (Gu Nian) reminds me of the MC in that story (Chu Yin) with how consistent their personalities are. Although they are different on how they treat their own MLs, they have something in common which is that they're both really strong minded female protagonists and that's really something in chinese novels. This is just a personal opinion but I've read a lot of novels and those chinese ones that I've read usually have a pattern in their female protagonists, they're usually introduced as really strong minded and smart but would somehow end up dumb or s*upid in front of the ML and would 'unconsciously' slip up things and that'll be their charm or smthng. Not that I hate those characters but it gets annoying when it always happens so these types of female protagonists really intrigues me.

That said, even the ML here (Luo Xiu) are almost the same with the ML from that novel (Lu Zhen). One thing that didn't change is the fact that they're both the powerful type of ML, though in Luo Xiu's case, he's hiding his identity so currently the public doesn't know who he is other than some low actor that doesn't even act well, just a pretty face. What I do like about the both of them is that they didn't fall in love at first sight at MC. (Though for those who've read the other novel I've said then we know it's different in his case it's not that he didn't fall in love at first sight it was rather MC didn't let him so kinda different in that case but anyways lol). In Luo Xiu's situation, he didn't immediately liked her at first interaction, rather, he was weirded out by her indifference to others yet she was super nice to him so he suspected that she must be like the others, just wearing a mask to use him or smthng.

There is a lot of misunderstanding here and believe me when I say a lot because it is A LOT. Though I find it funny here since MCs intention is really pure and solely just to take care of ML which she sees as her 'son' but in MLs perspective at the very beginning is that she must be pretending and hiding her true intentions of bedding him LMAO. In other stories these kind of misunderstandings would have been so stressful but in this one it's more on funny with MCs character LMAO. It's because she's really nonchalant about other stuff, doesn't care about how others see her, would save her friends if needed, wouldn't care if others talk sh*t about her but would talk sh*t back if others were talking about her friends, aND would also wreck sh*t if others are bad mouthing her 'son' aka ML xD HAHAHA.

So in short, what I really like is Gu Nian's personality. I really love how she doesn't let any irrelevant rumors affect her yet when it comes to her people she'd do whatever she can to save them. And ALSO, her clever character is really portrayed well. I really like how attentive, clever, and calculative she is it really suits her character as a screenwriter with how open minded she is which I say not many 'author' characters have in most novels.

And lastly, with how guarded Luo Xiu is at the beginning, thinking that Gu Nian must be pretending and is just laying a trap for him for her own advantages, him being bored so he decided to 'play along' with her just to see what she'll do, but would end up finding out a lot of things about her like how she's actually his loyal fan all along and that his first impression of her was all his own misunderstanding and that she genuinely cares for him, to him now being stressed since she really treats him as her son xD. He really was like, 'this woman has bad intentions she keeps on seducing me' to 'why is this woman not seducing me' LMAO THEY'RE SO FUNNY.

Im surprised at the 4+ rating this novel has. Personally, this is how I feel about the novel:

“Tenderness” of hero and the “languidness” of the heroine. What do they mean by cold tenderness and languid meanness? 🫠 The character set up is strange. The way the author describes every movement of the hero instead of the story is strange. The way everyone is scared of the hero just because he’s from a rich family is strange. The heroine is VERY STRaNGe!

the story is strange!!!

It's a really light novel

It's average

It's not that bad. The concept is good. A mom fan, and two faced ML. How she slowly learned that her idol is not as saint as she expected him to be. But, I still think it's quite rushed, and a lot of character doesn't really has that much developed

This is a fun and refreshing read and the translation is excellent. It's one of the only novels I'm keeping up with consistently these days.

The main character constantly makes me laugh and she's got a lot of interesting aspects to her character that I hope live up to their potential. She seems like she has hidden depths!

For me the romance is secondary (ie I don't care about it too much) but the ML's generally confused reactions to the MC (so far) do always get a chuckle out of me and... more>> that's always a plus imo. I'm not especially invested in his character yet but honestly the MC is what makes this novel for me anyways. <<less

I think this novel is promising. The summary itself tickled my heart and I am already hooked after reading the first 3 chapters. The FL is witty and pretty laid back while the ML is the usual quiet and powerful type - my usual cup of tea. Translation is really clear and the flow of the story is good. I can't wait to read the rest of the chapters and I do hope this will be translated until the end.

Alright, so! So far, it appears that the MC live with a rose-tinted glasses, that "fan" filters which automatically goes up whenever her idol is near. A bit out of touch with reality, and the first several chapters would want to make you shake some senses within her. She's a bit of a stalker... or that's just how much of a die-hard fan she is. But outside of her obsession with her beloved idol, she's a strong, calm, and capable MC.

If you can power through the nonsense in the earlier... more>> chapters, things will get better. It's fun and silly, but it feels like I'm reading a fanfiction.... And remember, don't expect realism in here...

Opinion might change later <<less
