The fluffiest story I've ever read! I laughed so hard throughout the whole story. The story is just pure love. So pure it purifies my heart from the usual angsty stuff I read.

Wei Yan Zi who ship his own cp until he fell for him and Gu Yi Liang who turned himself gay after three cigarettes. XD I like how caring and considerate GYL is and him giving out 'sweets' to readers all the time. I couldn't put this novel down after starting. Oh yes, the manhua is really well... more>> drawn too! But of course if you want smut there's some in the novel later on. WYZ has the cutest reactions ever especially when he secretly ship his cp with GYL on weibo so hard.

Some of the funny parts has some cultural references in it so if you don't know you may not feel that it's that funny. Of course that won't affect the read but it would be much enjoyable if you got them. Highly recommend this book for high amount of sweets! <<less

I fall in love with the manhua adaptation, and I found out that this is adapted from novel. So Ia read it. And I couldn't stop laughing. Each chapters is so funny!. Somehow, I think the novel version is better

Love this. I hope I can find this kind of novel again

Really... its too hilarious! This is first time I read a story from a unique perspective. Yess! Its from shipper's eyes LOL. The author's humor which potrayed by the MC and his antiques is so witty. The ML is sweet. Anyway, this is perfect for light reading. Too many fluff and cottons.

5 stars

For sheer genius of comedic timing, as well as comedic content whilst writing a relationship that is both charming and endearing. My stomach hurt from how hard I've laughed over this, and how many times I've done so. Seldom do I reread novels, this is one of those rare few.

People who are looking into whether they should read this, look no further, here's your sign. Just remember to suspend your disbelief of this happening irl and read along for the fun ride.

As fellow commenters noted, this is a helluva funny novel. I want to add a tribute to the comment section: full applause for the translator who did an amazing job. I read the final chapters via MTL. Without the superb translation, the humour found in final chapters was definitely muted and muddled for me because this reader couldn't fully grasp some of the idioms, modern cultural references and tongue-in-cheek asides. (*Sigh* Is it too late to learn Mandarin?) So, a round of applause for the translator, Alex PT, who... more>> managed to keep the flow and impart the flavour of the humour without diluting the story. Alex PT, you made reading this novel an addictive experience. <<less

I love this novel! It's pure comedic fluff! The misunderstanding is *chef's kiss*! It's hilarious and sweet. I laughed and squealed and fangirled and hit my couch so much that it could definitely sue me for abuse. After reading this you'll definitely feel the urge to scream "Niangzi is rio!!" into the void. It's okay, just do it and you'll feel better. Eat the sugar and feel your lifespan expand.

This is a character driven story and the characters are exactly where this novel shines, along with the author's sense of... more>> humour.

The MC is absolutely precious. Wei Yanzi is funny, witty, sweet, smart and he's no pushover. His inner monologues had me laughing so much that my throat ached and my asthma acted up a little. He is definitely one of my favourite characters ever.

The ML is also very precious. Gu Yiliang was a refreshing character after all those cold beauty types of gongs in the other manhuas (the manhua on Bilibili is what made me finally read the novel, I usually don't read novels that aren't completely translated). He is so very sweet and gentle, so eager to please Yanzi. Seeing him get jealous was so nice, too, because he's usually pretty collected (at least in appearance; make no mistake, he's just as much of a disaster as Wei Yanzi! It's just not as obvious.) I also love the way he's not perfect at everything. And he keeps a diary! Which we get glimpses of! It's adorable, specially with the illustrations in the manhua.

The translation is on hiatus (which is too bad because it was really good), but the language is relatively simple so MTling is not too hard. We miss out on a lot on the funny jokes and references, but we get a good idea of what happens story-wise. Also, we'll get the official English translation of the end through the manhua eventually.

Edit: It seems that BlackBox put their TL on hiatus because we might get an official Enlish tl! If that's true then I am definitely looking forward to it!

By the way, this is not exactly shounen ai. There are definitely a few s*x scenes. They're not smutty or very explicit, but they're not hinting at it either, we know exactly what's going on. The extras are also mainly based on their first time going all the way. They're also hilarious, I don't think I ever laughed so much while reading a s*x scene! They were also pretty realistic, no one is perfect right from the get go after all.

There are just two small things that I think are a bummer :

1.

Spoiler

After they're done with the reality show, we're told how the fans are staying silent after the MC and ML seemed too gay during the show. I think that was an interesting point to make because it's also a pretty realistic part of shipping. Shippers are happy to ship two guys together and like to scream about how their ship is real, but if the ship did get real a lot of them would change their tune. This scene broke my heart a little because even with the wonky translation, I could feel Yanzi's confusion, frustration and disappointment. My issue is that it's never touched upon again. We don't know what happened after that, how it affects them or their career or anything.

[collapse]

2.

Spoiler

I'm a little disappointed that we are never shown Yanzi telling Yiliang about being an Niangzi shipper. I was kind of looking forward to Yiliang's reaction to that, which is why I was a little sad that it didn't happen. Oh well, I guess Yiliang showing Yanzi his diary kinda makes up for it.

[collapse]

But these are just two small things that don't affect the enjoyment or my affection for this novel at all. <<less

When I saw ppl saying that this helped them when they were going through a hard time, I thought it was generic and shallow praise to justify their ratings, but let me tell you how wrong I was. This novel just hits the mark with it's humor. It's unbelievable to me how much I cackled. This might be one of my all-time go-to picks for when I just wanna reset and feel better after a long day. I did get a bit turned off by some of the choices made... more>> by the author in terms of story progression.
Spoiler

The misunderstanding of the MC being a sugarbaby/prostitute to further his career when in reality he just has a well-connected father-like figure for a boss. I wished that the author opted to developing their relationship more steadily rather creating an excuse to advance their relationship.

[collapse]
While that bothered me because I'm a nit-picky hoe, the hilarity of the story helped to excuse the faults almost enough (remember, it's probably not going to be that big of a deal to you, I'm just obsessive about certain, s*upid things that bother me like this) to make it negligable. For a short story read that isn't at all a waste of time or braincells (If you don't have any of those left like me, just remove the "brain" 'cause at least we still have our other cells... right?), you get a really funny and cute novel worth re-reading. <<less

A short and sweet novel. No drama, no angst, just feel good

Be warned that you may have to MTL the extras and they are relatively difficult to understand (you get the main idea of the chapter but miss the smaller details)

The writing is comedic gold. Both the MC and ML are ridiculous in their own ways. MC is clearly heads over heels for ML, even though he denies it by saying he just likes shipping the two of them. ML quickly falls for MC due to a misunderstanding, but is incredibly sincere in his feelings and actions. MC and ML continuously put themselves in tons of funny situations due to misunderstandings and other antics.

The main issue with the story is how long it drags it out for. After a while,... more>> the jokes can get a bit stale and the drama becomes unnecessarily complex. Overall, a fun read. Would recommend at least starting, if not finishing. <<less

I read the rest in MTL to finish it so I'm kinda confused with the last bit of chapters. What I like with this story is the hilarious thoughts and misunderstanding between the MC and ML. It's like a duck talking to a chicken, they thought they're on the same page but from the very first start, they're actually not. Anyways, if you want to just read a short and light story, this is definitely one to recommend. It's short and the chapters ain't boring so you'll definitely be able... more>> to finish it. <<less

I got yelled at for laughing too loud at 3 am. This novel is positively hilarious, what a silly couple.

How they managed to communicate on different wavelengths for so long, I have no idea, but it's great. They're so cute ~~

I might gain diabetes from reading this. This was so cute and fluffy that I have no other words to describe it. I don't really like a love hate relationship. So I was afraid at first as the tittle is kind of misleading. But thank god the reviews save meeee. I have never ever ever ever read a novel sweeter than this. As always, all bl novels gave me such a happiness that cannot be gain irl. The MC and ML is so cute I'm gonna die right here.

Warning*

This novel... more>> should be read when you're alone as to avoid people around you from giving you a judging eyes as you were most likely to scream out of fluff!!! <<less

WAY TOO HILARIOUS.

I seldom give reviews but this time I will for the purpose that it really satisfied me so much. Though I know it's probably just my cup of tea.

5 stars for the Translation!

... more>> 5 stars for the story!!

5 stars for the fluff!

5 stars for the hilarious moments!

5 stars for their preciousness 😅

I just like this so bad. It really deserve its high rating.

If I summarized it properly, this is the exact definition of fluff and fun mixed together. While being fed by the fluffy parts, at the same time you also can't help laughing. It's just too funny and fluffy at the same time.

The MC and ML are too precious and as the story progresses, you just can't help but want to have more of them.

Story has a first person POV narration from the MC, and there is also an excerpt from the ML's side. It's really good getting to know the ML's ideas and thoughts, while it's exciting reading the MC's.

MC has an adorable side, innocent and pure kind of personality but not to the point it will annoy you. Rather you'll find him so adorable and precious. And before I forgot, he has a strong and brave personality too, and a very funny mindset since he is shipping himself and his adversary.

As for the ML, he has a mature personality, gentleman.. Some instances where you find him funny too,
Spoiler

especially when he misunderstood about something that he ended up making a relationship with the MC, and the other party was clueless lol

[collapse]

Spoiler

It's this funny part in the story: while MC thought he is just shipping the both of them, he has no idea that the ML has already sailed the ship, far and far away 😂

[collapse]

Another thing that I like is that, I didn't find any cringe or cringy moment in the story. It's only laugh and fluff!

Thanks to the author and translator for their hardwork.

I'll just mtling this one once I get to the last translated chapter.

P.S. Pardon for my english, , not a native speaker here. <<less

I didn't realise that the translation is still ongoing.. I'm a bit heartbroken right now.

The story is very very humorous and light-hearted as it is based around misunderstandings upon misunderstandings but in the best way possible. It did not turn out cringey at all. Definitely recommend this! :)

Hilarious so far. I died when I got to the part where they are having a conversation about two entirely different things;
Spoiler

terrible acting skills and being a boytoy.

"Can you not be like this?" (ML)
"Sure, I have you now." (MC)

And with that, the ML agrees to be a sugar daddy and meanwhile, the MC asks the ML help him improve his acting.

[collapse]
The misunderstanding is so skillfully smooth it can't really be blamed on either party ?‍ Comedic gold, had me rolling around from the cuteness and fluffiness.

The way that it's written and structured kind of like a journal seemed a bit fragmented at first and took me a while to get accustomed, but this novel is truly a gem.

-1 because I have a personal vendetta against the misogynistic evil gold digger stepmom trope

but I digress. CP 10/10, would absolutely recommend. the fan culture portrayal is so accurate, I'm glad it wasn't ridiculed or belittled like a lot of other novels. really funny and fluffy... I really like it

It's written like a journal and told from both the MCs and MLs perspective. The MC ships himself with the ML but he only realizes he's bent around chapter 25. There's a huge misunderstanding where the ML thinks that he's asked to keep the MC and the MC doesn't have a clue about what's going on and what the ML is insinuating.
