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…

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 sex. Hahahahaha I have never. Read a book where the dick/pen*s 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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

It's 4stars for me. It's a good lighthearted read, with interesting characters and with a little bit of everything that makes it entertaining and not heavy on drama. The best thing in this novel is the humour. Made me laugh out loud so many times.

The novel did start slow at first, especially the romance between the 2 MCs but in context, this is coherent with the plot. I was a tad bored for the first 25 or so chapters. The second half of the novel was more interesting, once the... more>> romance picks up, for our 2 sweet couples. <<less

I started reading this because I thought the premise was interesting but I find myself not liking the MC at all as time progresses. He's really childish and stupid in my opinion ... more>>
Spoiler

like the moment he decided to write all his grievances against the ML in a book, labeled with an obvious name, and then starting immediately by mentioning his past life I was like, oh damn this guy is that type of dumb huh

[collapse]
and it's just, I get it's not meant to be a story hugely on plot or anything meaningful, and that's fine, it's cute and a bit cringey but funny so I'll keep going but hopefully the MC starts looking toward the ML a bit nicer

Spoiler

I mean, he knew the ML was hiding his low blood sugar condition and actually spilt it over a public chat/forum which is SO not cool, like that's legit not okay wtf especially after promising his step dad and all

[collapse]

update: the relationship gets better a few chapters after this which makes it easier to enjoy. I like the stuff that's hinted to be happening with the side characters, the story seems to really be kicking off at around chap 20 <<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?
