Your Scandals Are Way Cuter Than You

Description

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

Jiang Ying, a controversial second-generation celebrity, loves nothing more than collecting dirt on other stars.

Qi Zhu, a controversial actor. His hobby? Counterattacking trolls, tabloids, and anti-fans.

Classmates from elementary school to high school, they fit the mold of childhood sweethearts. And yet they were more like fire and ice: utterly incompatible.

Back in high school, they fought while reviewing test answers. On set, they fought over their scripts. For better or worse, the two were in contact every single day. Their QQ streak has never been broken.

By chance, Qi Zhu discovered his own dirt in Jiang Ying’s possession.

Qi Zhu: ?

Jiang Ying: Don’t you know? Your scandals are way cuter than you.

Jiang Ying thought they would bicker for the rest of their lives.

Until, one day, he came across a new ship on Weibo: ZhuiFengZhuYing.

And a supertopic to match: ZhuYingYaoHong.

Soon after Jiang Ying was born, his parents held his zhuazhou ceremony. Among the items they set out before him, Jiang Ying crawled to the keyboard.

Ever since his youth, Jiang Ying had never lost an argument.

In a popular squabbling app that randomly matched users with differing opinions, prompting them to fight, Jiang Ying could handily defeat any opponent.

After spending three years on the app ‘Fight!’, Jiang Ying reigned as king of the leaderboard.

Out of the goodness of his heart, to benefit society, Jiang Ying took an apprentice who clearly didn’t know the first thing about dissing people. He worked hard to train up his little apprentice until the kid could diss and roast as fiercely as the king.

It was only later, when he was pushed down in bed and [redacted] by the typically cold and taciturn Qi Zhu, that Jiang Ying realized Qi Zhu had somehow learned every trick in his book.

Was pretty excited to read this one because it seemed like a cute set up. And it was. The childhood friends mixed in with some hidden identity and humour made for a light read. There's some funny side characters that supported the story as well, while not a tight-knit group (since not a band) like the prequel, still good friends of MC.

I wasn't expecting the hidden identity story line but the app plot line was rather well done despite it being predictable.

ML can be a little black-bellied but overall... more>> they complement each other well and it's a very nice light read. I almost want another sequel just to continue with another character in this circle because really, they are all likeable. Special shoutout to scaredy cat Miao Ye. <<less

Honestly, it's just so nice to find an entertainment industry romance that has decent and enjoyable writing. The writing and plot are not anything world-shattering, this is still a lightweight, relaxing story that you're not supposed to think too deeply about, but it wasn't full of formulaic scheming-then-face-slapping episodes or MC-can-no-wrong success stories.

Having read the original novel (this one is a spin-off) first, I already understood and liked the MC and the author did a good job of bringing out what was dynamic and likeable about... more>> this character. Additionally, it's just fun for a change to read a story where internet scandals are tackled head-on by the MC without fear (because of his attitude, fighting ability, and family background) and without needing a clever solution.

I agree with most of the review by STARRYSKIES, particularly about the tired old trend of the ML always being a bit better, always coming out on top, being more aware and therefore leading the MC by the nose.

What I will say is that this aspect was milder than many similar stories and along with the ML often "manipulating" him, the MC is also lazy rather than s*upid, so a lot of the manipulation comes from him not bothering to be alert around the ML and he usually catches on pretty quickly, and is pretty good at keeping the ML on his toes. They both genuinely bicker with each other rather than it just being the "clueless shou yaps at the gong" set up that I was afraid it would be. You can tell the ML has a bit of a bad character in his own right, and that made him a little less perfect and more of an equal participant in their bickering relationship, and both comfortably show all their bad sides to the other. I did find the one long-term deception by the ML annoying and was displeased with its resolution. The MC has such a great character that there are any number of ways that could've been entertainingly resolved, but the author chose "ML runs circles around him, MC has to give in." Predictable but disappointing.

Ultimately, this story gives a lot of moments to the relationship the main couple already have and that feels really satisfying. Personally, I enjoyed the really gradual and smooth shift from inseparable bickering friends to bickering lovers because it felt natural and comfortable. The story thankfully showed nicer aspects of their characters and relationship, which balanced the bickering. Also really nice to see an MC who takes action and chases the ML.

I think I'd get tired of bickering couples if this was something I'd read a lot, but it's not common in the stories I read and this is one of the better representations of it for me. I enjoyed the lively writing, the lively cast of characters and the strong sense of connection between the main couple.

It was filled with a lot of small irks, flaws, weaknesses and inconsistencies you tend to get from this genre and style of story. For me I seem to have experienced such an unfortunate string of drab, mediocre, problematic or inane stories recently that it was just so refreshing to get one with enough intelligence and skill and originality to be readable and enjoyable. <<less

Slightly better than the previous book, characters are better developed. I also like this couple's dynamic a bit more. I love Jiang Ying and his releteless will to fight, but also his care to know when and where to fight hahaha

Overall a good read. The MC is funny and chaotic. The ML not as well rounded as a character but he complemented the MC well. There weren't any major conflicts or antagonists, which made this a light and fluffy read.

Another five star! This is a sequel of the novel, "Your Memes are better looking than you."

Both novels are so fun to read. In this novel, it focus on the love story of Jiang Xun's little brother, Jiang Ying. I got to say, these two couples are different. Its a very refreshing to read it. You wont be disappointed with these two characters. It is obvious that the author put a lot efforts on the romance plot.

It shows the differences of how their love blossomed. The characters in this novel... more>> are also so fun in their own way. If the prequel of this novel is full of sweet and a hint of seriousness due to the MC trauma's then this novel is full of crazy antics of the MC and how he was captured by his ever doting and competitive Top. At least, when it comes to "bullying" his pair.

Overall, personally, it was worth the read. Its also a very light read thats why I'm sad now cause I finished these two novels so fast. I cant get enough of this kind of plot. I just wanted more of it. Either way, enjoy this novel, if you can't then thats okay. I hope you can find novels that you would love it. Enjoy!^^,

Qi Zhu x Jiang Ying <3 [Obviously a hint. Haha.] Love this couple so much. Haha <3 <<less

Love the relationship between the gong and the shou, it's funny and adorkable.

This novel is lighthearted, sweet and fun to read. It's not the best, but not too bad as well.

Gong and shou complement each other really well. The only downside is the "netizens" they are a little boring for my taste, probably because I've seen some interesting ones in other novels.

Story- 4.5/5

Way too good- in fact, even better than its predecessor!

If you haven’t read the first book, Your Memes Are Better Looking Than You, then this is a sign that you should! Both are great & worthwhile reads, ensured to bestow some hearty laughs & good dog food. While I did enjoy both, I will admit that this is one of the rare times that the sequel wins gold. I just adore the pairing dynamic way too much. There’s something so endearing about male leads doting on their crazier &... more>> wilder counterparts. The bickering, the idiotic but cute acts of unbeknownst affection, the mindless heap of dog food, the secret smiles & glances- AHHHHHHHHH! If you’re seeking for fluff & laughs, this is a must! <<less

If you love fluff novels then this is perfect for you. There is no heartbreaking and tear-jerking scene just pure fluff, comedy, cuteness, and ML lowkey doting on MC.

This novel is pretty good, if you like a fluffy, dog food centered novel, you have it here!

I just don’t rate it a 5 because I feel that it’s so fluffy centered, that I got real cavities. You know, everything is so “sweet” that it feels so meh after some time because you just get use to it being fluffy from the start.

If you’ve just read a dark novel or just want a no angst, full of fluff novel, this is it.

I prefer the prequel better, that had the right... more>> amount of angst and sweetness!

Also, aside from everything that happened in this novel feeling so “to good to be true”, I feel that how the MC and ML are after got together was so fast faced like we didn’t get a moment of them getting flustered about finally being together or something. <<less

Pros: ~cute~ fans, the usual BL fluff, interesting character dynamic between the two male leads

Cons: fighting is kind of over-hyped, ML's character is trying to be aloof & playful at the same time (which is realistic, but we don't get too much insight into what goes on in his mind so its a bit...)

Rating: observe the 5 stars (no comment on my own <3 ~ I just put 5 stars as a placeholder hehe)

Jiang Ying is so CHAOTIC, I love him. Chaotic, petty, easily riled, self righteous, but all in a benign way. Not your usual protagonist. A bit more exciting of a pairing in this sequel, but still just as light and fluffy. Where's my Sunny novel!!

Shout out to the translator; between this and "Your Memes", I'm starting to read everything they've translated! They've got a great writing "voice".

it's good. Yes that's all I want to say about the main story everything else written below is mainly rant or just some things that don't make sense in the book

Copy pasting what I wrote in "Memes" —

I'm writing this just to say that fans don't need to know everything?? I mean I love like this story and everything but still?? Fans literally get to know everything like there's literally no "personal life" for these boys and it was lil bit annoying at some point. (For me atleast, , that... more>> is if you think too much about it like I did)

example

Spoiler

When Jiang Ying asked (via live broadcast bc no cellphones allowed) lil Qi zong to take a delivery for him bc he was on a variety program and he couldn't collect it, , there was absolutely no need for qi zong to urgently send it to jiang ying especially when he knew what it was and that it was supposed to be a secret?? Like make it make sense please like what was jiang ying going to do with that badge which he won with his secret identity? Show off in the live broadcast? Hmm?

[collapse]

i can understand that it was just for shits and giggles but was there any need?

it obviously doesn't affect my rating bc I am enjoying this novel. <<less

Skip the prequel if you hate 'clumsy to the point they're only there to humiliate you every time they did something' MC.. Or 'perfect but creepy, love is blind' ML.

Just read this instead.

So glad I didn't ignore this just because I dropped the prequel. I love how this bickering ex-classmates turned into the sweetest couple. There weren't that many acting scenes but I super love the social media. MC was on top 10 trending like every week lol. So funny!

Cute palate refresher after any heavy book! Very quick read only 80 chapters. It’s not very serious and entertaining. No dog blood or high stakes. Honestly liked it more than the previous book. I think I liked it more because the male lead wasn’t as big of a perv lol I love the teasing/bickering with a dash of hidden identity couple more than miscommunication of the other two.

The same world, but with a completely different story...

It's hard to compare, these two stories have the same cute and fun elements, but with completely opposite characters...

Our innocent and gentle Gu Wei is a stark contrast to our silly and crazy Jiang Ying. And of course with their spouses with their own possessive ways.

I really love this author, she's really good at creating fun stories that are very soothing to the heart. It's really a silly story, real and full of sugar... But to be honest I liked Youre meme... more>> story more 🤭

To the translator, thanks for your hard work. thank you so much for sharing this fun 🫶 <<less
