After Wei Yuhuan, a handsome and wealthy celebrity, sorted out his s*xual orientation, he realized that life was short and he should seize the moment. He was well-known for his successful career and colorful private life. However, despite having numerous partners, he never engaged in promiscuous behavior and carefully selected each one. Of course, he was also very generous. Just recently, he met a beautiful college student through a friend and they hit it off. He bought a luxurious house near the student’s school for him to live in. However, things did not go as planned. After they had s*x once, the student refused to continue the relationship and ran away.

Coincidentally, Wei Yuhuan’s company went public and he had to go abroad for half a year for work, putting this incident out of his mind. When he returned to China, he found out that another of his celebrity lovers had cheated on him and even his usually obedient secretary was suddenly acting cold towards him. Wei Yuhuan, feeling frustrated, decided to visit the empty “golden house” he had bought for the college student half a year ago, only to discover that it was already occupied by a mysterious unexpected guest.

At first I'm not comfortable with the promiscuity of ML. He changes boyfriend many time, and still keep a good relationship with his exes.

Due to some unfortunate event that happened to shou, he end up being a theft living in ML house. ML monitored the shou through surveillance with the intention to catch shou and send him to police but eventually falling in love with shou and want to keep him as his.

It is also uncomfortable reading how ML and his friend planning together to catch MC. If this is... more>> a transmigration novel, ML's character will likely be some pe*verted canon-fodder villain who want to rob the protagonist from the true ML.

But no, this is a story of how a playboy turns to become a loyal-doting husband after meeting his true love, the one who changed his mind to have a life-long partner, instead of a partner just for entertainment and lust.

Even though it is uncomfortable at first, I'm unable to give this novel a low rating because after succeed to catch MC (the shou), ML treats him really well, & really gentle.

And MC, although sometimes he looks really naive, he's actually a smart and observant boy. What I love is he is a proactive lover, loves to act playful and coquettish to ML. He is honest about his feelings, and thus leading to their relationship establishing quite fast.

Their relationship is so sweet and fluffy. ML seriously is really gentle towards MC.

Though one thing I'm not satisfied is because ML is really lenient towards his exes, leading them to feel complacent and thus treating MC as in the story. But fortunately, later, after knowing what his exes done to MC, ML settles the problem with them immediately. <<less

Wasn't sure what to expect, but the story was actually pretty good!

I had some hesitation that the MC/ML's power dynamic would be too skewed (bc the MC was too poor)

... more>>
Spoiler

and the story started out with a super scummy ML who secretly filmed MC without his permission and tried to threaten the MC multiple times with nude pics...

[collapse]

but surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I expected. The MC isn't afraid of the ML and the ML doesn't actually cross the line once he convinces the MC to stay by his side.

It was a very fluffy and cute story about a scum ML becoming less scummy.

Spoiler

TBH, his previous transactional relationships were pretty understandable? He didn't trick anyone into doing anything they didn't want to do. Plus, he was actually very romantic towards his previous exes; he had genuinely wanted to develop something more from them. But they ended up rejecting him for various reasons of their own. Which left an opening in his heart able to be capitalized by the MC.

[collapse]

I actually like this story way better than many unrealistic novels on NU about chaste and virg*nal overbearing CEOs.

This one, the two characters are clearly flawed but fit together in a believable way. <<less

I gave the story 4 stars, though it's not perfect this story, it does have immense potential.

Though I found the story too short, it was a good read. ML and MC neither one of them was perfect they both had their flaws. They come from different backgrounds and the way they fit together is natural.

Many would find ML Scummy, but to me, though he is a playboy, he never denies it. He was very clear about what type of relationship he was with them. And was also generous even after... more>> the relationship came to an end for various reasons. He didn't try to manipulate them into what they didn't want to do, and everything they did was mutual.

MC, as ML named him, is a cute little Crab who is trying hard to earn a living. He is so cute, naive yet so straightforward, that you fall in love with him. He is more aware of society's fierceness than ML. He doesn't keep things to himself and ML and MC talk things out rather than making a misunderstanding out of it.

This plot could have become a gem if author-sama had wanted to write a more elaborate story. To me, the end of the story is not perfect. I would have liked to know how ML's family would have reacted, how they were in the future etc. But still, this story felt complete though the abrupt end would let you imagine lots of things! <<less

If you just finished a tragic novel or u need something to make u happy, this is the best option to read!! When I start to read it I couldn't stop. 😻 First, this is just a cup of tea with a lot of honey. Very romantical with a bit of comedy, obviously there were some 'cannons fodder' but it wasn't anything excessive (no one died, got disabled or end in a psychiatric lol) just a perfect balance for a wholesome novel.

10/10. Recommended to people that like something fluffy but still... more>> entertaining all time. <<less
