Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The 27-year-old Wei Han is a slightly fat, slightly chicken-livered, and slightly foolish, pure-hearted and besotted top, and his sweetheart who had been together with him for seven years, in the end, was stolen away by Qi ZhiFan one morning.
Deeply broken-hearted and in despair, he went overboard with binge eating, and ended up pathetically choking to death…

Luckily, he received a second chance, yet his timing, position, and destiny all got warped, and the him who returned to being twenty followed his remarried mother into the Qi family, turning into Qi ZhiFan’s non-blood-related older brother.

Well, Wei Han swore that this time, he must alter his dumped-as-cannon-fodder fate, and since he’s become his love rival’s big bro, he can definitely torment this scumbag little brother to death, restoring his position as the rightful top and quickly carry his bottom home!

However, why is the development of the plot spiraling further and further out of his control?
Why is Qi ZhiFan looking at him with a scorching, burning gaze, acting more and more questionable ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) eh?!
Thus, Wei Han was pushed down into an official bottom…

A decent read, nothing ground breaking or extreme. It’s a fluffy love story between two step brothers, one of which had his love stolen by the other brother in a past life before rebirth/starting over again. It’s funny and pretty light hearted, with some pretty good pacing between the transition of the mc’s feelings of “i’ll Get my revenge for you stealing my boyfriend in my past life!” To “you’re not bad at all, i’ll Do my best as your brother!” To “I love you! Romantically!” I do wish MC’s... more>> cooking skills were given a bit more spotlight; as a supreme chef capable of making even the most stubborn swoon, it’s shown off time to time but not really used much. It’s a shame, especially since MC was a chef in his past life too! <<less

Really a must read, ah.

The story is really fluffy, romantic and magnificent.

This MC is really kind, honest

Spoiler

to the point where he doesn't even know how to get a real revenge. I mean he had this idea of tarnishing his rival god's like reputation by saying that the other had hypoglycemia. That just made the ML -the rival- more popular on the campus, with everyone proposing to him candies, sugary water, medicines, and so on. MC is really clueless when it comes to doing bad things to others and that just makes him lovelier. I really like him

[collapse]

.

The ML is jewel too. Not the forceful type and he knows how to cherish.

Spoiler

There is this time he didn't sleep the whole night at all and suffered several mosquitoes' bites just because he was sheltering the MC, fearing that he would be bitten awake. Clueless MC laughed at the dark bags under his eyes, as well as his bitten nose and cheek the next morning. ML was depressed.

When MC fell asleep on the hard floor, ML put his head on his lap.

Spoiler

Well, it was good, until MC turned his head and started breathing in ML's danger direction. Poor ML couldn't really withstand and was hard. In retaliation, he pinched MC's butt cheeks. It was hilarious how the next morning MC got scared as to how he ended up on ML's lap. When asked, he said that he slept really comfortably, just that his ass ached. Lol.

[collapse]

Well, as of now, the ML is doing the pursuing and MC is oblivious to it. MC's heart is thumping loudly though, so ML, continue with the good work!

[collapse]

I really like their dynamic together.

Finished reading this via MTL and I loved it.

I love that everybody got a happy ending. All the couples are also very understanding and patient of each other. No major dramas/conflicts. I love the MC and ML's interactions, and you can feel the love everywhere hihihi.

Give it a try and you wont regret reading it! ;)

I didn't get the humor and I don't think it's funny in any way at all but rather annoying and cringe-worthy. Heck I'd been wearing a poker face when reading throughout all the chapters. This story has too much nonsense and honestly for me the plotline is cheap. I actually expected a lot from this novel considering that the summary looks promising but reality proves me otherwise and it's really a shame. So disappointing and I really regret wasting my time reading a lot of chapters from this- Yes it's... more>> that bad for me sorry not sorry <<less

I physically hurt myself reading this.

It's a light read that takes around 5-6hrs to complete if you read continuously (Like I did). My teeth was rotting from the fluff, the ML was slightly twisted but he got hit by karma pretty soon after. MC is a very nice and generous character (if only he'd let go of his ex a little sooner) he developed to become very sly ohmegud I luv.

Side characters are not dimensional (thank god), their relationship is also very interesting to read about.

i literally read this through the night. It was so good. I especially love the way the author describes the s*x. Hahahahaha I have never. Read a book where the d*ck/penis was called hot fiery weapon.

It had this innocent yet funny and deep feel to it. It’s definitely a must read.

Enemies become lovers pretty much sums up this story. Events happen real quick that it could be days later in the story within a single paragraph. There's just the right amount of angst and realism involved as well that would tug your fujoshi/fudanshi heartstrings.

Our MC Wei Han does all sorts of hijinx towards our ML Qi Zhifan at first but since he's a good person at heart, hilarity ensues of what comes of them. It's refreshing to see a ML that does not fall for the MC immediately; in fact... more>> he had a pretty low opinion of Wei Han at the beginning. Our ML has the looks, wealth, and background befitting of a prince but he has many shortcomings which the in-world knows/finds about.

Translation is really well done with chapters released every day. I would give it a perfect rating just from that alone but there are some parts of the story that kept me from doing so. For example,
Spoiler

the way they got together was not some big romantic moment. If they didn't know each other, it could be pegged as a drunken one-night stand. Events that transpire after they done the deed was anti-climactic for me as well.

[collapse]
I wasn't that excited about it 3/4 into the story but I would still recommend this to anyone looking for a light, funny read.

P.S. Our main pair isn't the only one in this story, it also tells the story of Qi Zhifan's friend's puppy love ;) <<less

I love this cute, silly novel. It's reminded me of the old school BL that did not need fancy plot to make the storyline readable. Just cute, fluff things between gong and shou.

Read it to ch 11 and dropping it. Before that it was a smooth sail.

No-moral MC's don't sit well with me.

Spoiler

The secret shared to him by his step father about ML, MC gave it out easily in a forum just for the sake of dissing. Not cool. Backbiting chheh

cute. Lots of fluffy, a little angst, and more fluff. Nothing very clever or world shaking in this novel. I found it better than some but not as good as others so my rating would be 3.5 at the highest. After some consideration I rounded up, though a four star is normally "very good" for me and this novel is better than "OK" but not so good as to be "very good."

Feels like a normal cute and silly BL. The progression of the romance and story was nice though. The characters are fun.

It's so adorable!

Very, VERY well written and more... realistic then others, you could say.

I'm really happy it's fully translated now! It's really fluffy and I love how naïve our lovable MC is.

Just...... read this.

It starts out slow and both MC and ML just seem like they'll never get along. I thought they'd be rudely forced together by the author by some random moment for some random reason.

But no, the author did an amazing job showing step by step how the characters fell in love with another while not rushing the pace or making the characters seem OOC.

It makes me want to bow down to the author for somehow balancing both sadness and comedy in this novel, and to have the main... more>> couple go through character development while fundamentally still being the same people they were in the beginning of the novel.

I honestly want to reread this because I miss this tender couple and their silly shenanigans and hot times together.

Great characters, great storyline, and great ending. 10/10! <<less

Haha so far loving it. I just wonder if we would get more insights about past Zhifan? Stealing MC’s love away and indirectly causing his death?

If the novel's protagonist was female I wouldn't be able to tolerate him because he's only good at being a housewife. This really isn't a revenge story at all. There doesn't seem to be any believable villains so far. It is a fluffy feel good story.

only at chapter 15, but it is a super cute story between step brothers

MC died and went back 7 years into the past, and became his love rival's elder brother

he decides to take revenge on the ML, but he is so silly and sweet he fails lol

interactions between the ML and MC are so funny, definitely recommend

4 stars!

Taking away 1 star because I read this in Chinese a long while back but it didn't hold my attention long enough to finish. Glad to see it translated completely.

Overall, a sweet, silly sort of love story with fluff and comedy but just a tad too much drama (I dislike all those 'love rivals' popping up, okay mainly just that 1 annoying person but argh, and the miscomm).

... more>> MC is a tad to naïve at times but I liked the almost slow burn sort of romance he had with ML.

Overall, the book has 2 official couples and 2 more not really described ones.

Worth the read if one is looking for a relatively chill modern day romance. <<less

made me laugh a lot so I added a half star: rated 3.5! I had second thoughts and tried to round up to 4 instead but I can't change it?

has lots of cute and laugh out loud moments. Humor is subjective, so I guess some people do not like this type of humor, but it fits my tastes. With that said, the characters do feel a bit 2d. And that's okay! Not everything has to be deep with a meaningful backstory. I enjoyed this for what it is--a fun story.... more>> I've even reread it, and it's still as enjoyable the second time around. I will probably reread it again in the future. Thanks as well to the translator for the nice translations.

recommended! <<less

It’s really nice that the story not only focuses on the main cp but also features a lot of the side character’s love lives ie. Chengrui, Chenghui, Chuanyao, and Leng Yan. I would’ve loved to know more about Six Hot’s love story seeing as he is so desolate lol.

I have to say that I enjoyed the early part of the story more than the latter since it was kind of heavy after, missing of the silliness in the beginning. I still very much enjoyed overall though. I just really hope... more>> we at least get an extra for Six Hot or maybe even Ou Yizhe and Shu Yi. <<less
