Qin Shihuang: The magnificence of the suite is comparable to the E’Fang Palace, and it sets off my dignity. I am pleased!

[Sweet Couple Deluxe Room] – 5200 yuan (2-person couple’s breakfast)

Xiang Yu: Why did you put me in the same room as pretty boy Liu Bang? I have never seen such a weird double room! What, the hotel is full?

[Cobweb Theme Superior Room] – 1111 yuan (excluding breakfast)

Spider Spirit: I moved to Beijing to model for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a vivid themed room, as if I have returned to my hometown!

*

Wen Nuan: Hello, this is the hotel front desk. Is there anything I can do for you?

Baili Wuchang: I need special service, come to my room.

Pretty good novel but the plot is kind of boring (cliche). I haven't read all of them here's some summary I can give so far.

Wen Nuan (MC/shou), DongMing (past life/super op)
Goofy but unexpectedly smart. Is a face con, voice con, and can make corny jokes. He's very strong in his past life.

Baili Wuchang (ML/gong)
Typical op ML except that he like to read and watch dog blooded drama (this one is actually funny tho). His hobby is to be jealous of himself (mostly) and others who oggle... more>> on MC.

Side Character:

Spoiler

Hei Wuchang (ally) : ML's subordinate, best side character that I love since his antics and blabbering always make me laugh in the novel
Bai Wuchang (ally) : ML's subordinate, astonished by Hei Wuchang skill for seeking death
Su Mu (Shadow) (ally) : CP with Su Mu (An Xiangda), a little tragic story but resolved fast
Su Mu (An Xiangda) (ally) : CP with Su Mu (shadow), a little tragic story but resolved fast
Feng Xushen (vampire) : this is from 2 yrs later arc
Howard (werewolf) : this is from 2 yrs later arc

Fan Liangda (enemy/ally) : so far this guy is pretty mysterious (he act so sus), it's still unknown if he's an enemy or ally.

[collapse]

Side CP with so many plot twist (beware of spoiler) :

Spoiler

Su Mu (Shadow) x Su Mu (An Xiangda)
Su Mu shadow got a brand from past MC to make him stay alive
Zhao Mingchong x Tang Qizhuan
Tang Qizhuan is an ancient artifact and make a contract with MC so that he can stay together even in afterlife with Zhao Mingchong

Bai Wuchang x Hei Wuchang (Song Xing previously human)
Bai Wuchang got a grass from past MC in which it can help Hei Wuchang even after his human soul dispersed

Feng Xushen x Howard (werewolf)
The past MC give Howard a grass that give him the curse if he lie, he'll turn back to his wolf form. The reason why past MC give him the curse is to atone for the life of Feng Xushen (he died because of searching for Howard). To break the curse, Howard must make Feng Xushen fall in love with him (Howard) and promise to be together forever. Feng Xushen in the current life (2 years in the future arc) is a vampire.

[collapse]

Youxian pillow arc (2 years to the past and future arc) :

Spoiler

MC went back to the past 18 years ago because of Youxian Pillow (some kind of artifact) where he become a kid and went to find ML but ML 18 years ago didn't recognize him at all. The black and white heibai wuchang from the past are also different one with the present. After a shadow send MC back to the present, ML and MC go back to the past together to investigate the case (ML in his usual form while MC went back to his 3 yrs old form, the two met ML from 18 years ago and the two previous heibai wuchang.
The two ML fight each other in every moment, especially after the 18 years ago ML know that MC is their master, the two ML not only fight each other, they also tr*shtalking each other.
Plot twist: the one who stole the pillow is actually the present Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang who's covering for him. Hei Wuchang who used to be Song Xing want to take revenge on the Fan guy who used to be his best friend for killing him. The problem later get solved by using MC's modern problem require modern solution technique.

[collapse]

I haven't continue the rest yet since i've got my eyes on another novel. The thing I like about this novel is that the couple get together pretty fast without any useless drama, the thing I don't like is how generic/cliche the plot used. I like that we, reader, can look at other CPs story progress while discovering the secret of MC's past self tho. <<less

Hello everyone... it's the TLer of HCH :^) I promise to be super honest.

I decided to start this novel because I loved the premise and the introduction of our MC, Wen Nuan. He's really funny and witty, and he feels like a fresh take on an MC. The first few chapters got me hooked: the MC and ML (Baili Wuchang) meet and interact instantly, and there are so many silly scenes and dialogues that I just found entertaining, especially the author's mini theaters (which, sadly, only appear up to about... more>> halfway through the novel).

The novel is sectioned into 'arcs' where Wen Nuan and the ML (Baili Wuchang) solve problems relating to a gay couple they encounter. It's always a gay couple that seems to be tragic, but it's not that deep, lol. They solve their problems in the end eventually. Unfortunately, the author does not include female characters of note. You can tell the author just wanted to focus on things they liked and did not have huge plans for the storyline.

There's a little bit of overarching plot regarding Wen Nuan's backstory that is developed in each 'arc', but it doesn't pick your brain that much, and it honestly isn't that important until the last arc of the novel, which the author throws at the reader pretty randomly. It ends pretty randomly, too. I was honestly kind of surprised; it wasn't that I wanted a whole lot more, but I do think the ending was more of a cut-off than a clean wrap, if that makes sense.

It wasn't that mind-boggling or anything like that. It was not that fulfilling, not that surprising, and overall kind of silly.

Now if you're wondering, "Why did you TL this if you didn't even like it that much??"

Hey. Everyone eats junk food sometimes LOL. And it was an easy read, so I wanted to try something new!

Also a totally random gripe that I had regarding part of the story:

Spoiler

There's a scene where Baili Wuchang tries to take Wen Nuan to a gay bar and they don't let him in because they need them to prove that they're gay. I had to stop reading and go touch grass because I was appalled. But then I reminded myself that danmei novels are not usually a place of LGBTQ+ representation. I closed my eyes and moved on and tried to forget that happened.

I expected the story to be quite different from the synopsis, so I was kinda disappointed by how it actually turned out. There’s the cliché amnesia and past life plots, and the final boss fight was a big letdown. The whole story is about the main couple solving the misunderstandings between all the other other gay couples, and the final boss barely has any presence.

[collapse]

The beginning of the story was MC and ML solving the misunderstandings between the guest couples. And then we got introduce to the couples that would be involved in the final fight/ played a big role in MC’s past life.

Honestly it would’ve been better if there were more straight couples or lesbian couples because nearly every female character introduced was a villainous side character, and it would’ve been nice if they could’ve at least had any cool female subordinates or friends. It felt like poor world building to me. Also it wasn’t even shown how the MC and ML fell in love?

Spoiler

ML approaches MC because MC reminds him of his master. So all their interactions in the present life are because of ML’s history with MC’s past reincarnation. ML loves MC deeply after confirming MC has the birthmark proving his identity. MC lusts over ML’s figure, face and voice. Then MC gets transported 2 years into the future and realizes that the future him was dating ML. So when present ML also goes to the future and confesses, MC accepts. In the past life, ML challenges MC to a fight because ML doesn’t believe anyone is stronger than him including MC. MC agrees on the condition ML will be his person if MC wins. ML loses and it is said they fall in love. But the actual process of falling in love or the reason is not shown. It is just told and not shown.

[collapse]

And I personally felt like the characters weren’t that interesting with actual personalities, and they just represented some of the common tropes to add more drama to the story. There wasn’t much suspense or plot twists, because of the overused past life plays a big role trope.

Overall, it was quite boring and predictable, but not a bad story. It was an okay read to just pass time, but there wasn’t much depth. <<less
