Xu Chenghao accidentally transmigrated in a book and became the lifetime spare tire of the Mary Sue female lead.

What’s more frustrating, he transmigrated at the time when the spare tire and the villain confronted each other and it’s a fight right away.

What’s even more frustrating, according to the plot, after the spare tire saves the female lead from the villain, she’ll throw herself into the arms of the male lead, and wail in the next second.

When the time comes, he is abandoned by the female lead, the male is wary of the villain and hates him. He will die very miserably.

Xu Chenghao: “… Come, come, come, please take away your female lead!”

Female lead: “??? Say you love me for the rest of your life and never let me go?”

Xu Chenghao: “I’m sorry, I like men.”

Female lead: “…”

One month later,

The villain and the male lead rushed to his field at the same time and asked, “I heard that you like men?”

Xu Chenghao: “…”

He looked at the two men in front of him and said, “I’m sorry, I only have farming in my heart.”

The two: “…”

I had to read the story after reading the summery, of course it was MLTed. I just have to say the love developed between the villain and out cannon fodder was surprisingly realistic. They slowly fell in love with each other, the villain being paranoid and not trusting the MC, still believing him to be in love with the female protagonist. Then the ML gets over his "love" of the marry sue girl that keeps showing up everywhere the MC goes. She is delusional and tries to use the MC... more>> for benefit to try to get the original protagonist lead.

The ML is possessive but respectful and loving to the MC. They are really cute together and the whole process of them getting together is a great read. <<less

Extremely funny, very warm. I felt bad for the Novel!ML in the end, I even feel pity for the Novel!FL. I have trouble resenting characters like them in these sorts of stories where there is this constant presence of the "power of the plot" and "character halos". It feels like everyone is victim to the pull of narrative drama, not just the MC.

I think it's a good thing that an author is able to write a story where nobody is overly hateful and everyone can be sympathised with to an... more>> extent - it shows they're more complicated than just 2D novel characters, and hard to hate because of it.

I only write this review to say, I want a sequel for 2333. He is my beautiful precious baby and I want to see his happy ending. <<less

Yep. The relationship between the villain and cannon fodder is quite childish. They bicker a lot at the same time giving you a dog food to eat. They started being rivals then friends later on turn to lovers.

The villain is quite pure as well as crazy. His feelings is too intense and I found it forceful but its a good thing that the cannon fodder (MC) understand and embrace it.

I also love the relationship between the MC and his assistant, you could feel deep friendship and brotherhood. There are no... more>> dull moments with them. They support and oppose each other 😂...

The villain and his own assistant (Boss and subordinate relationship) is interesting too. I laugh hard when
Spoiler

the assistant advice the villain that it's the right time to confess to the MC considering that the MC couldn't hide nor run because of the accident. And later on backfire to them.

[collapse]

The MC task as a transmigrator is also very interesting and unique. It gives him a distinct charisma as character.

Well, I do enjoy reading it.

PS :MTL is readable.

Have fun😊 <<less

It's really funny!! Another sand sculpture novel letting u laugh a lot Especially, the Shura field and the book protagonist vs villlian vying our MC. However the repetitive parts make it a little uninteresting.

I like the slow love development. However, It's kindly lengthy. Will temporarily halt my reading since I got bored by some of the repetitive scenes.

I greatly agree with MC's parent opinion about their dislike to ML. When talking about reality, I have the same sentiments as them. Especially forcing to the MC to do H stuffs in... more>> front of the parents eyelids <<less

This is probably one of my favourite novels! The humor is online at all times, I laughed so much reading the entire 150 chapters! Not only is it funny, but I couldn't even put it down because there's little to no filler in this novel -- I enjoyed each and every scenes here! They're flirting ALL the time! But it's always in a funny and humorous way, every portrayal is new and refreshing. The more I think about the ML as a cold silent (but yandere) handsome male doing this... more>> and that with the MC -- the more I find them endearing! The ML is the villain btw, don't board the wrong ship!

The essence is very light hearted, silly, childish, naive characterization that pulls the novel plot forward. I like the CP dynamic, the gradual character development the ML goes through - it's actually really impressive how much he changed as a person through his interaction with the MC! And it's not through shock or having to change, it's a very natural progression you can see/feel through their interactions. It's a very heart-warming and organic development. I find this incredibly seamless and touching, because the essence of their relationship is sincerity and good-will (not on the surface, but those who Get it will get it)

What I like most is their relationship, the MC's personality meshes really well with the ML -- without other elements like fear, coercion, yielding/bending that I usually see in other novels. Mostly its because other novel tends to have the ML be the domineering type. But because the characterization is usually very shallow - the ML here shines even brighter because he has his own character development throughout the entire novel, and you can actually enjoy more parts of his personality as he interacts with the MC and others in the world. You can see how he changes with the plot, how he grows and expands his roots/characterization as the story progresses. He's like good tea -- the more you steep the better the flavour. Honestly I find this element of the novel so refreshing. It's done really well!!!!

What I also enjoy about this novel is the business aspect. While others tend to just gloss over very superficially when it comes to work -- the involvement/intrigues of the MC, original ML and ML (the villain) in this novel is super cool. I love how its actually part of the plot and is explained, even though it's only prevalent in the first half of the novel -- it's done so well. I like actually keeping up with what business proposal is happening besides just shallowly brushing up on the results (i.e. 'this business venture is going to crush x family' but its never explained how! But this novel actually takes you to explore the hows, what happened, and whys!) I think that part really stood out to me and is really awesome to see it depicted as part of the main plotline. Even when it's just one business venture, I think the potential and execution here is really good, even if it's just an example of what the writer could do. I'm extremely satisfied with this area!

Overall, this novel is good! I think -- it reminds me alot of tv drama -- very dramatic and funny. But at the same time, I could easily see this novel as a manhwa adaption. I really want to recommend it for everyone to read, honestly I love the humour. It just hits a special spot to me and I resonate with it deeply. I was immersed before I realized I was hooked, and then I enjoyed every part of the ML and MC's development and flirting. I really don't mind it being silly and sweet at all.

Edit: abit of a spoiler for those who are nervous about the tags/don't know what to expect coming in -- their love is pretty honest, straight-forward, childish and sweet.

Spoiler

I don't think the part where the MC and ML has to have their EQ bonked a few times by their assistant unrealistic at all. At least to some people that's how they work/realize they may like someone. To me, I think it's already apparent in the novel through their progression how much they like each other -- the development with their confidants in a way is just cementing and affirming what we already know so they can proceed to the next step. It's just a technique to advance. But yeah I don't think there's any problem with how they love, I can see alot of sincerity and heart in what they do/feel for each other.

In the novel, there's parts that says 'the original MC and ML has the same starting point' -- but I don't think that's true from my perspective? I don't agree with the sentiment... The real starting point is when the ML wants to get to know the MC after he ate the 2nd chili. At least to me, that was when their actual relationship starts, personally. The original ML didn't get to that point in the end, he was still muddled thinking about how they all started with the original FL and MC's relationship, so they (original ML and MC) never really progressed to have a relationship that's actually eye to eye. They're not the same nor comparable.

The original ML also comes across as a hypocritical selfish person. He bears little to no consequences for the peach blossoms he blooms, nor does he explain who or why he picked up girls and dropped them. He approaches the MC through a competitive relationship with the ML - his insincerity and refusal to listen to anyone, respect any other opinions besides his own - is simply a manchild. While the ML and MC are also childish and naive, at least they don't feel as repulsive as the ML when it comes to taking responsibilities for their actions.

In essence, even if the whole novel is permeated with a childish and silly charm to it -- there are still things that should be considered-- such as them all being Actual Adults and having to take accountability for their own actions/consequences.

Since only one chapter has been translated so far I mtled the novel. Therefore I will be a bit more lenient when it comes to confusing plot points. Despite not getting everything I should have gotten the general gist of all the major plot points.

There were some pretty clichée tropes which can be explained by the fact that the premise of the novel is a CEO x Mary Sue novel. So you already know from the beginning that you shouldn't take the novel too seriously.

The novel is humorous and the... more>> characters generally likeable. There are only a few characters who I would like to have a boxing match with (with my opponent having the handicap of having their hands bound behind their back, of course). The og. FL is such a character as she is a selfish, white lotus b*tch.

Normally, I like mature and calm, level-headed characters. But I enjoyed how utterly childish main leads were at times. The ML was especially childish and petty which was refreshing as you usually only ever read about cold MLs with facial paralysis. Sure, Jing Yicheng is generally cold and ruthless when dealing with people who go against him. But he is also socially awkward and has low EQ due to his upbringing and yearns for warmth which he found in our MC. Oh, succeeding in his pursuit he also likes to be petty and rub it into the og. ML's face that Xu Chenghao (MC) is his lover. Who cares about being classy when you can witness your enemy pull a face as if he had eaten sh*t~

So yeah, I don't really have any major complaints. Did not notice any plot holes either since my reading comprehension was a bit hampered due to mtling. <<less

The relationship between MC and other characters are very enjoyable and fun to read.

It's very relaxin.... up until MC got together with Ml.

That dude is the very defination of sterotypical Ml. Posessive, jealous, cold, ruthless, yandereish who doesn't listen to what MC wants.

... more>> MC is desicive and ruthless towards other people except of course Ml.

MC is a pushover for Ml. Even if he's angry, ML pamper him a bit and he forgave him instantly.

(Meanwhile, I was left with a belly full of anger TvT)

I stopped at the place where ML keep fxxking MC every night even if he says no.

My heart feels very tired. Even if they're lovers, they should draw the line at some point.

At that point, I wish for MC and his best friend to get together instead. Their interactions are very funny and calming. You can feels best fri really cares about MC and likewise.

The interaction between MC and his parents is very sweet and heartwarming. The unconditional love is very admirable and enviable.

At the near end, I feel kinda sorry for Original ML and Fl.

The way Author writes Original ML pov is very good. I feel kinda sad, suffocated and numb just like how ML is feeling at that point.

As for female lead, her bad point is... she's dumb, dumb as hell. She got reduced to that stage because of her own fault. But she's not malicious unlike other transmigrared into novels stories. She just got used to the unconditional love and protection given by the original second Ml.

So what happened when she got deprived of that? Of course, she cry; Spoiler alert, she does nothing but cry all the time. She's too dependant to people around her.

At the near end, she looked like a stray dog abadoned in the rain. But even the stray dog have the ability to search food for itself. She did not.

All in all, this novel is kinda enjoyable until I reached the last few chapters.

Intially 4.2 but had to dropped to 3.5 because of Ml.

Ah.. people who like this types of Ml, I recommended you to read it. <<less

Well Well, I came into this novel knowing it was a comedy from reading the intro. It certainly didn't disappoint, I had some good laughs in the beginning between from the interactions of MC and other characters. I like the pacing, things weren't as serious I thought sometimes. Very little problems every comes about. The ML is so op that he can do and solve anything. MC is hardly in trouble, but the thing is I don't know why MC felt enough with ML he never gave us any reasons,... more>> just because his secretary said he probably felt in love? But he never asks him why? I don't know if someone pointed a gun at me the first day we met, I would feel love just after talking to him a few months? I know they tie it up with some simple reason in the end. But I never felt that part in particular and think it's just the story doing the work and felt it wasn't natural.

The ML is likeable and is also not likeable, but he is acceptable. He's really angst and violent, they didn't go much into his backgrounds and never says anything about what he really doe and how he climb to this position in the novel. I just find it he's really possessive but it's acceptable that he gives enough freedom for the MC I guess. He' turn into a big puppy of course and goes into heat like every 5 minutes? That's the part that I had trouble dealing with me. When characters are thirsty every 5 minutes to show affection for the other it doesn't work for me. I was hoping for a more restrained papapa life and more testing to their love.

That's the think the Female MC in the book and the Book MC is really a let down. They pose no threats at all! Book MC loves the MC but hell he's efforts is weak as hell! He pull out his golden finger support to get the female MC, but he can't do the same for the MC ? We still didn't find out who the hell is that character who helps the book MC unconditionally? The Book MC only lash out once in the business setting against the MC and was solved by the ML so easily, like no challenge what's so ever.

The system didn't really make it difficult for the MC at all, it was a very smooth ride from start to the finish.

There was comedy up till the middle when MC and ML confirm their relationship then just repetitive fluff and papapa and more papapa till the end.

Overall it was a good ready, funny enough to pass time, don't take it too seriously because it does lack depths in some areas, if you want a more story with depth and plot. Just enjoy the ride of ML being a vinegar big puppy being led around by the MC and watch him say the s*upidest cringy love lines. Hurting each other with their daily banter hehe. I do wish backstory for the system it seems quite sad when we find out how people become systems.

Overall 4 stars would recommend read if you want to relax after reading some that upsets you or having bad day. <<less

I'm in love with this book.

Chili peppers play a big role in this story, it's the GOAT (aside from the translator of course)

Overarching plot, romance aside, is that Xu Chenghao has to plant chili peppers, and then harvest enough for his missions to transmigrate back to the real world

  • Xu Chenghao (MC) — our main character, original 2nd male lead
  • Jing Yicheng (ML) — our male lead, original villain
Has no concept of real friendship because he never had friends before. He's an adorable brat ><

... more>>
Spoiler

He stole and ate 2 peppers from MC and caused 1 pepper to be eaten by the female lead so now he's spending his time paying back his pepper crimes to MC because he wants to befriend him.

  • Chapter 54

It was the first gift from a friend. It was also the first “Goodnight.”

[collapse]

  • Ruan Chenxuan — original male lead
  • An Ruoyu — original female lead
Spoiler

Not much romance has happened yet at this point (chapter 55) and Jing Yicheng is just getting around to realizing his feelings.

[collapse]

Even though not much romance has happened, I'm already gushing over seeing how their relationship develops. Xu Chenghao (MC) and Jing Yicheng's (ML) interactions have really developed from being enemies to having friendly banter etc. ever since ML wanted to befriend him because he thinks MC relates with him
Spoiler

on the fact that they both gave up on the origFL (An Ruoyu)

[collapse]

Another thing that makes me smile is Xu Chenghao's (MC) childish banter with Li Nian (his assistant)

Spoiler

Hehe for Xu Chenghao to escape marriage proposals, he told an aspiring candidate (with his parents) and origFL that he was gay and he used Li Nian as a meatshield aka since hes always with him people will think that they have something haha

[collapse]

Some of character interactions I loved:

There's a lot more but you have to read for yourself ^_<

Spoiler
  • Chapter 12 Scapegoat to avoid marriage negotiations

Xu Chenghao continued to vent: “Is there really no way to end it once and for all?”

Li Nian joked, “unless you like men.”

Xu Chenghao looked at him silently.

Li Nian: “?”

Li Nian: “... ”

“What are you looking at!” Li Nian’s eyes were horrified for a moment: “Don’t scare me; I’m straight!”

Xu Chenghao said solemnly: “Generally, men who emphasize at all times that they are straight are basically deep closets.”

  • Chapter 21 MC has throat problems because of his cold and ML has throat problems caused by chili pepper (both inflicted on each other)

For the rest of the waiting time, they all held a cup of hot water each, and very rhythmically, you cough twice, I cough twice, then together they took a sip of hot tea and continued waiting in silence.

  • Chapter 26 ML causes origFL to eat the pepper (MC get's him back by dunking water on him)

“I...” An Ruoyu was frightened. Her eyes reddened from the sudden rebuke. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain. Jing Yicheng, next to her, suddenly squinted. Pretending to break free, he raised his hand—An Rouyu’s elbow was hit and raised from the impact. Her entire arm seemed to be dislocated, instantly numb and without strength. The pepper in her hand flew out of her hand and straight into her mouth. She wanted to scream in pain but ended up swallowing it raw.

[collapse]

I'll write a better review when I finish the novel. Thank you translator for blessing us >< <<less

  • the MC and Villian only have one angst scene kind of when the villian gets taken away cos he did not accept a commission or sumn
  • anyways the duo is so funny both are very chaotic and love each other to the core I got fed so much dog food fr em full bro
  • i wish they showed how their lives be after gettin married plus the marriage and proposal were squeezes into last few chpts so I felt that it was quite rushed
  • even though the drama and dog bloods were indeed entertaining I really wished the proposal wedding nd after wedding was more extended out rather than rushed huhuhu

I really enjoyed it because both MC and ML are funny and how they got along plus their assistants who keeps suffering because of this two idiots lol (I you Lin Nian)

There are just things that irks me. The author doesn't care much to other characters aside from our 2 main. About heroine, she's actually quite pitiful but the author is determined to make her bad even tho she can mind her own business with ogML which will be more pleasant to see. The author did this just to... more>> create a little drama that can be said unnecessary because that part just pissed me off.

The revelation near the end is quite good though...
Spoiler

this life is actually MC's 2nd attempt in the book world which is also his last chance because if he failed this time, he'll become a system too

[collapse]

The system is really sus but I ended up liking the system hahaha and the thing that the author didn't even bother to elaborate...
Spoiler

I'm pretty sure that no.2333 is also once a human before he became part of the system by just his show of emotion and fondness to MC. It's quite cute too when he said he's a little jealous and even wanted MC to fail because probably he likes our MC...

The process of the MC and ML getting together was mostly funny, silly, and sweet but I'm subtracting one star because of the MC's behavior after they got together. Forcing someone to eat something potentially harmful to 'punish' them is not ok. In the first few chapters when the MC and ML were still considered enemies, the Xu Chenghao thought that if he got angry enough, he'd just force Jing Yicheng to eat so much spicy food that he'd get a perforated stomach... ok, ruthless, but he's the enemy. But... more>> why the f*ck would you still 'punish him' like that once he's your lover. Making him eat 8 super-spicy peppers every other day? Not ok, man, not ok. <<less

It is a very funny and relaxed novel with its moments of tension in due time.

The relationship between the MC and the ML is very beautiful, it did not feel abrupt at all, those who say it is forced did not take into account the personality and character of each one, as well as the secrets that exist

The secret of the final chapters took me by surprise but at the same time not so much since there were a few clues in the whole novel.

Spoiler

Although the system may not seem like it, he is very important in the whole plot, without he, this wonderful love would never have existed and although we could not know more about he, I hope that it is also happy as the MC wished it

I'll maybe change my mind but it bothers me how much of a comedy this is, every character seems lowkey unhinged, including MC, in the most silly way possible. He's obsessed with growing peppers for his task and caries the pot EVERYWHERE, the villain is obsessed with eating the peppers and the rest genuinely lacks common sense. A lot of interactions between the characters seem like a fever dream. Tho it's not nearly as bad as that one novel with xianxia characters discovering the phone (I'll forever remember the part... more>> where they were f*cking weird about the phone vibrating). <<less

If you like peppers and are in the mood for an easy read (mtl is also easy to read), I'd rec this.

You've got a smart, cheeky MC who just wants to live the good life of a proper pepper harvester. MC was transmigrated into a book about a dense, white lotus type FL who has three men fawning over her. MC embodies the 2nd ML who suffers the most abuse because he protects the FL the most.

MC does not want to become a waste with broken legs and immediately pulls... more>> himself out of the equation which draws the attention of our villain and the main lead for the FL. I won't tell you who he ends up with but the bickering between our MC and both the villain and book main lead are great. I love MC's assistant, literally has the patience of a saint and such sharp witty humor (+3).

There is some possessive behavior but I wouldn't call any of it yandere. Either way, this is an easy to digest read, so have fun with it. <<less

One thing I dislike about business stories is that there are so many contracts/deals randomly being made........ Like... wtf are the projects? What percentage? Are they talking about shareholding? What cooperations? Out of every useless contracts they all keep bringing up, the only one that made sense was the machinery one. The rest are just there to sound business-like.

The MC was likeable for a bit because of his indifference, but then he got really annoying and bratty. It's like he ironically switched personality with the supposedly "annoying" FL that the... more>> author tried so hard to ridiculed about. He became the annoying FL. He was so poorly written that the "annoying" FL actually has better characteristics than the MC. There was also NO drama, but this dude is out there purposely causing drama by being completely an*l about everything. So much for trying to survive as a spare tire!

And the amount of BS drama and coaxing in this story ruined it. Was the author originally a fanfic writer? ML is a yandere, but becomes a dumb puppy for his lover and the MC is a tsundere with a Mary Sue halo. I couldn't handle the unnecessary drama anymore so I dropped the novel. <<less
