Status: Completed
(Note: I changed the status of the work because it's not marked as complete on JJWXC, but the work hasn't been updated since 2012, and it's clear that the extras have been abandoned. The main story is completed though, and the extras seemed to be an AU kind of thing that the author just never... got back to.)

Well, this was... um, something...

I'm not quite sure why I keep reading scum ab*se novels when they bring me no joy (or even sadness), but I keep doing it. This was... more>> a relatively quick read, as most of the chapters were very short (below 2k, with the exception of the last one), and it wasn't the worst scum ab*se novel I've read, but it certainly wasn't good either.

I think my main issue with this is that, while the author is self-aware enough to realize her novel is full of soap opera-esque coincidences (probably a little too self-aware, as Pei Jiyu constantly mentions how, "This situation is playing out just like a TV drama/soap opera!" ugh), she doesn't really... do anything to differentiate it? She plays the soap opera melodrama completely straight, and even overshoots enough at times that it becomes unintentionally comedic instead of tragic. (I legit kept laughing anytime He Li appeared in the novel, more on that later.)

All the characters too, didn't really feel like fully fledged characters, and were simply more like... cardboard cutout stock characters in order to introduce maximum drama/angst. All of them get a barebone introduction of how they met Pei Jiyu and their eventual falling out, and that's it. There's really not much interiority to any of them, and the one who suffers most from it is, unfortunately, my favorite ML -- Meng Siqi.

But let's backtrack a bit. So there's five "MLs" -- He Li, Lu Qingfan, Chen Erxin, Qiao Lang (Leo), and Meng Siqi. All of them, except the true, endgame ML (Meng Siqi), are scum to varying degrees, with two out of five also being Pei Jiyu's exes.

I appreciate the author actually having Jiyu end up with the only genuinely nice ML, which is a nice change from these scum ab*se stories, but that's about the only upside to this story. Oh, and none of the MLs are physically abusive (there's no s*xual assault!), just... emotionally abusive. So yay?

But, anyway, in a word, Meng Siqi has literally no personality. He's the milquetoast everyman who's only in the story in order to be good to Jiyu. He does everything Jiyu asks him to, without question, and he never even has the tiniest disagreement with Jiyu. And it actually honestly feels like he's sidelined in order to give the other MLs more screentime, as he seems to appear only when Jiyu needs cheering up after a particularly harrowing encounter.

Spoiler

For instance, there's a point in the story where Jiyu goes missing (he's locked up by one of his exes), and while the story briefly has Siqi tell Jiyu how worried he's been when the other returns, it's then... never mentioned again. Almost as if the entire event had never happened. While Jiyu never actually tells Siqi the real reason why he was missing, it still felt as if Siqi should be a bit more... I don't know? Anxious afterwards? Because what if Jiyu goes missing again? Or maybe even question Jiyu a bit more about the real reason because it's obvious that Jiyu is not telling the full truth. But, nope, nothing.

We also never learn anything about Siqi's personal life outside of Jiyu. I mean, Siqi is a doctor for pete's sake! Yet, he's able to spend so much time caring about Jiyu? (And clearly at the expense of his other patients too). That's not to mention that Siqi is also Jiyu's primary physician as well... Man, the ethics behind that is... shaky. And even putting that aside, doctors are actually usually greatly discouraged from being the doctors for their loved ones because it's not good for the mental health of the doctor in question (since they're so close to their patients, so they're less able to make unbiased judgment calls). The story never touches on this. Because the author doesn't really seem to give a sh*t about Siqi's mental state.

[collapse]

Like, if this was a coming-of-age story about Jiyu learning to love himself and stop loving scum boyfriends, then that'd be completely fine, but it isn't. In fact this story doesn't seem to know what exactly it wants to be -- one minute it's a scum ab*se story, another minute it's Jiyu kicking these scums to the curb, and then it's about Jiyu maybe finding love at the end of his life. If the author focused a bit more on Jiyu's interiority (instead of the constant deluge of angsty one-liners like "Jiyu's heart is already dust"), or even any of the ML's inner thoughts -- especially Siqi! -- then maybe she could've juggled all these themes successfully. But as it is, all of them feel half-baked and unrealized. This truly is a "lightning text" since nothing feels remotely resolved at the end.

But let's talk about all the other MLs, since some of them are hilariously ridiculous.

The runner-up ML, who earns the scintillating title, "Not a complete piece of shit, at least, " is Chen Erxin, who's kind of the immature kid who only knows how to pull on the pigtails of the girl he likes. (Except with less pigtail pulling and more... uncalled-for name-calling.) He's also the one who I felt most redeemable out of the scum MLs. He's still scum, but I feel like a few kicks in the rear and an actual education could sort him out, while there's no hope for the rest.

Spoiler

I did laugh out loud (while also wanting to slap him a good one) at the end when he was baffled why his love wasn't reciprocated despite how long he waited when he has never even confessed to Jiyu. Did he think Jiyu was, what, telepathic or something? Literal kid logic right here.

But I did feel sort of sorry for him, since he's the only one that Jiyu blatantly lies to about the cancer at the end. It really drove home how the two could've never worked out, since Jiyu lies to him "for his own good" ([insert eye-roll]), while Erxin can't communicate for his life.

[collapse]

Oh, and his cousin was the best character in this whole dang thing. I hope she has a great and happy life in the future. And the whole story would've probably been 100 times better if it had been focused on her and Jiyu's friendship than... everything else it had focused on.

The ML with the least presence was Qiao Lang (Leo), who shows up for a few chapters and then kind of gets... put on the bus and never returns? I don't think the author liked him (lmao).

Spoiler

There was a brief stint where Jiyu is locked up in the Qiao estate by Qiao Lang, but that was the most... underwhelming house arrest I've ever read. Qiao Lang comes across Jiyu arguing with He Li and offers to take Jiyu home -- Jiyu agrees because anything is better than He Li (I agree) -- and then Qiao Lang just... drives to his house and refuses to let Jiyu leave. It's a shitty move, but Jiyu barely even freaks out which is like... are the readers supposed to feel something about this when the MC himself doesn't seem to?

And what was Qiao Lang even thinking? I don't think someone will magically fall back in love with you if you stop them from leaving your house until they do, bro... But, again, the author isn't really interested in her characters' motivations, more in the drama it can create. So once again we have a character who's a complete cipher, with no logic or interiority at all.

[collapse]

And now we get to He Li, who is the scummiest of all scums. But also the clowniest of all clowns. I hate him as an ML, but as a character? He's f*cking hilarious, and literally half the reason I trudged through the story was because I was having a blast just making fun of him.

Spoiler

He refers to Jiyu as a "pet" and then gets another pet that he flaunts in front of Jiyu all the time, and then when Jiyu requests to leave the relationship since He Li clearly doesn't like him, He Li then threatens to kill him?? Like, He Li is so over-the-top that he actually crosses the line from "scummy scum" to "hilarious clown", and I legit couldn't stop laughing everytime he appeared because he was the most clueless ML ever.

He consistently misinterprets Jiyu's words and actions, and he's also the only one who had no clue that Jiyu was actually the Pei family's (estranged) young master. He Li is so oblivious to everything that he feels like a (completely unintentional) running gag. Like, how did Jiyu fall in love with him in the first place? This guy probably doesn't even know how to use a can opener omg!

[collapse]

Finally, we have Lu Qingfan, who is, unfortunately, the most fully-fledged of the MLs, but who was almost a scum on par with He Li.

Spoiler

So Lu Qingfan is Jiyu's first love and adoptive brother, and he's also unfortunately given the most screentime of the MLs (yes, even including Meng Siqi) and also the most interiority for whatever reason.

In other words, his reason for rejecting Jiyu's love actually makes sense. The sense of inferiority he felt in the Pei family, the whispered judgment of his classmates, and his ambition actually all tie together really neatly and act as pretty good explanations for his behavior. Like, Qingfan actually feels like a legit human being instead of a cardboard cutout.

It's just too bad that he's pretty scummy, consistently treats Jiyu badly (until the end), and acts self-righteous as if he was in the right all along.

Like, in a better story, Qingfan would've been a pretty interesting antagonist that the readers love to hate, or that the readers could sympathize with while still not condoning his actions. But here? It just feels like he should've been the ML -- but then the author changed her mind because she had some morals and knew that Jiyu should end up with someone nice (except she misplaced nice with "no personality").

This also makes me kind of glad that the author never finished the extras? Because from the first chapter posted, it seemed that an alternate universe version might've actually have had Qingfan as an ML, and I really don't want him as an ML. I don't like him, but he's really the only legitimate human being in this whole farce, so it feels almost inevitable.

[collapse]

There's also a... really weird joke/parody chapter near the end of the story in which everyone just suddenly drops dead in increasingly ridiculous ways (yeah, seriously), and it was kind of funny? But also kind of exemplary of what kind of work this is. When the author herself pulls a mid-climax, "Haha, here's a joke chapter lmao, " you know that she isn't really taking this seriously. So go in with that kind of attitude and maybe you'll like it more than I did?

TLDR; story wasn't good, but I guess you might like it if you like scum ab*se novels where the MC doesn't end up with the scum? But there are also better ones of its ilk out there. Well, if anything, I can at least say I had a whole heck of a fun time writing this review, so at least something good came out of reading this story. [puts on sunglasses and rides off into the sunset]

(Oh, and author wrote in the summary that she herself is embarrassed to even try rereading this story, and it shows -- there are quite a few typos in the text itself, but I don't think it'd matter so much to those reading it in translation, since I suspect the translators will fix them.)

EDIT: Having now read Before My Withering, I would have to say that that story is a wayyy better version of this one, even with the unevenness, so honestly that just makes this story even more disposable to me LOL. <<less

Yeah, prepare your tissues people.

This is the story about someone who is willing to give his everything for those he loves. Unfortunately, the ones he loves always has something else they prioritize above him, and always chooses that something over him, and each time leads to heartbreak.

Dying leads him to realizations, letting go and freeing him to fall in love for a final time. Maybe this last love is the true love he's been waiting his whole life for.

It was indeed a bit similar to A Decade of Deep Love, but this one is not as good as Decade of Deep love because in my opinion, the characters are all shallow, with no realistic action at all seriously.

... more>>
Spoiler

Especially, our last chosen ML among the 5 ML, he’s the least realistic of them all. He’s seems like a gentle person and concerned over MC but it seems to me like he’s not concerned enough, not from his heart at least. He seems so fake, honestly his entire being is so fake in this story lol. I don’t know why but I have this feelings when reading about him.

[collapse]

Its a big soap opera story just like the other reviewer said, but it’s still good in its own ways.

Though it didn’t give me as much extreme feelings like Decade of deep love but it’s still good enough to ab*se one’s heart sometimes, just to past free time lol. <<less

Spoiler

All I can say is the novel itself is really good and it was similar to A Decade of Deep Love which is my cup of tea but always finding myself burst into tears. I find the ending quite satisfying because the MC has grown tired of waiting for his loved ones since he was young until his adulthood and believing that sacrificing can found him, true love. But it was really sad when he finally found the person who can truly love him which is the ML, they found each other when the MC only has half-year/one year left to live. The only thing that I'm not satisfied with is there are no other chapters, I honestly want to read the POV's of the other characters when the MC died (I WANT THEIR REGRETS!), I'm really sad for the ML : (.

It's a great novel. I definitely shed some tears even though some parts are unrealistic. The MC would give up everything he has to love and receive love, but all the mls prioritized their own greed/pride rather than admitting to their feelings for him. Then they expect the MC to wait and turn around after several years for him to love them again?

... more>>
Spoiler

MC loved the 1st ML (his adoptive older brother) for 10 years and waited for him for so long only to be told that he needed to stop dreaming and wake up, when obviously the ML was in love with him, but bc he felt inferior to the MC he acted arrogant and cruel towards him.

MC then studied abroad in England and happened to pick up the 2nd ML off the streets where the ML takes advantage of the mc's kindness and somehow returns to China only to abandon the MC for his s*upid revenge. By this time the MC had cut ties with his family to be with the 2nd ml, but bc the 2nd ML selfishly abandoned him, he was left on the streets.

MC then meets the 3rd ML while he works as a waiter in a club. The 3rd ML was the cruelest, he first treated the MC with care in the beginning, but during those 4 years of the MC hoping to be loved affectionately, he was instead cheated on, mentally ab*sed, and kept as a pet to play with.

Finally the MC, meets the wonderful and kind 4th ml, a doctor. He is the true ml! MC meets him at the hospital where he is diagnosed with cancer and only has about 6 months to a year to live. MC gives up on living. In his entire life he just wanted to have a loving relationship like his parents, but chose all the wrong people to love. The ML saves him from giving up his life and persuades him to get treatment to live longer. MC later finds out the the ML has been on love with him ever since they were children and he cries tears of joy. I only wish there were more fluffy stories of these two.

[collapse]

Read for more details on how the MC throws away the cruel mls and all their crappy regrets. It's a bittersweet revenge-ish. <<less

I don't know how I can describe this novel, but it is definitely not good. I wanted to read this because I want to feel emotional, which I can say the novel was a bit successful. However, it is just too much. Like every character is so plain and boring. Out of all the angst BL Novel I have read, this is the most boring. I just can't finish the novel even though I'm already close to the ending. Giving 2 stars for the effort of the author.

Everyone is saying that they feel bad for the main character but tbh, there's nothing to feel bad about. He was the one who loved the other person, just because he loves him doesn't mean the other person have to love him back. The other person is a scum as well but that doesn't make the MC any better. Also, although I've just started, 3/4 of the novel is just him criticizing himself and feeling bad for himself. At this point, I actually find him annoying. Even when he KNOWS... more>> the other person doesn't love him, he still says he wanted to live the rest of his life for him, other people might find him pitful and feel bad for him but I just find him s*upid. Really s*upid. Live the rest of your life for yourself idiot. <<less

I probably didn't read this novel at the right time, and certainly overrated just because of the MC.

the stories with each ML struck me as quite unrealistic. But anyway, it was the solution found by the author to embody a wife-chasing-crematorium novel.

even so, I cried buckets of tears. The MC's indecision to follow the treatment or not seemed very realistic to me. The decision to go back to chemotherapy and radiotherapy after only a few years is not a simple one. Imo, his death, without pain and without resentment, was... more>> the best end. <<less

Really enjoyed reading this story, there are multiple MLs and I like how the author was able to tie the knot or finish each plot line with each ML. MC is very earnest in his love and approach to the extent that people may deem it 'foolish' or 'naive'. But in a way his love is very pure and he would do everything for the ones he loves, you can't help but feel for him.
Spoiler

He suffers a lot with the other MLs, devoting all his love to them, but due to various reasons, they end up hurting him and leaving him in the dirt. He meets the final true ML at the end and ends up very happy with him while the past MLs pine uselessly after him and tries to win him back. He chooses to stay with the true ML and deals with the past MLs pretty well and basically kills off any hopes of them getting back together which I liked. As mentioned in the tags, there is terminal illness and we don't know if MC recovers from cancer. The last chapter is open-ended where he falls asleep in ML's arms, he could wake up or it could be an implication he passed away. I want to believe in the miracle that they wished for and believe he recovers and ends up with a HE :)

It's just MC's difficult love life with three scum gong and two men crushing on him. Despite of saying MC is s*upid tho he didn't choose scum men to love but the person whom will love him just MC being unfortunate. One of the review is so harash and it look like totally victim blaming.... more>>

Tho I wish MC can finally be happy with Meng SiQi....... still he can't win his cancer. It broke my heart.

I can't stop reading this novel, although reading it makes me angry and sad.

I feel so bad for the main character, he is filled with so much sadness and regret. And his current ML is suffering with him; at least this one seems to be a genuinely good guy, and I hope they find happiness together in the end.

But all the MLs from MCs past are ridiculous and childish, and seem to push all the blame on MC. I honestly get angry every time they act all high and mighty,... more>> not listening to the feelings and opinion of MC and just making decision for him. I really hope that they notice how sh*tty they are acting, but the way the author is writing everything... I wouldn't be surprised if they would believe themselves in the right until the very end. I have no idea how the MC can even put up with them anymore, it's really frustrating haha.

Anyway, if you like feeling melancholic and angry over characters in a novel, this is a read for you :') <<less

This novel was actually not that bad. I cried a few times while reading it. I prepared my heart since I saw the tragedy tag so I'm okay with the ending. It's just that I feel like there are just way too many people that was in love with MC which makes the pacing for this novel all over the place and makes it hard for me to feel connected to any of the other character (I guess it makes sense since the title is "everyone" loves Pei Jiyu but... more>> it just feels a bit chaotic and the random meeting by coincidence is just too much sometimes.). The last chapter feels incomplete but overall I did enjoy reading this novel. <<less

Not my cup of tea. I'm only in chapter 4 and I already can't bring myself to keep reading it. Some things were very rushed and therefore were unrealistic and unbelievable. MC's character felt like it was forced, it didn't came as normal. I just can't read this.

Eh, dogblood tragedy.

Pacing is very eh

Cant really connect with the characters. I guess its understandable since it's a short story, relative to how many characters there are. Would've been much better to cut a few and focus extrascenes onhe remaining ones. None of the characters were really likeable, again, from screentimes being divided between so many ML's. None of the characters have been developed enough.

Main Theme is Tragedy not romance. This isn't a bad thing.

After reading this, I find it similar to A Decade of Deep Love in terms of MC having a terminal illness, tragic plot, etc. Well, I would say similar to a certain extent as there are differences such as having 5 ML and the MC being determined to break his ties with his past lovers. In terms of the plot, it is fast-paced and simple to read. However, the short numbers of chapters did not really help in developing the characters as a whole. As we could only view the... more>> MLs from the MC's eyes, the characters introduced seemed to only skim the surface. Some of the characters are also only in contact with the MC briefly and sometimes I find it lacking dimension. Overall, I would say that this story is ok if you are just looking for something quick and sad.

Summary: sad + concise and quick read + 5MLs with dying MC + characters lacking dimension <<less

The plot was a bit similar to The Ten Years That I Loved You The Most. In fact, the description itself had pointed out the entire plot. What made it different was that even though it was going down the sad lane, Pei JiYu got his closure. He did not live in regret knowing he didn't wrong anyone. It was just sad that he got the love he always wanted albeit it was too late.

This story gives you whiplash! There are four MLs, three of which have wronged MC in some way, plus other side characters that also get backstory. No one gets enough screen time and you spend lots of time with the character set ups. The events of the story rush through like a bullet train, and everyone is conveniently exactly where they need to be to witness key events in the story and show up at the same time.

MC feels like he's a kindergarten teacher who's on the verge of death... more>> but all the kindergarten kids come rushing at him demanding his time. It's exhausting.

There are other well-written groveling novels, this is definitely not one of them. <<less
