Life as a Love Interest in an Obsessive Romance Novel

Description

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

Community Director Zhuang Baihua transmigrated into a tropey romance novel where the protagonist got entangled with five possessive male leads and the cannon fodder cast were all abnormal. Zhuang Baihua was now one of the five love interests—the legendary “domineering president.”

Zhuang Baihua: …we could improve the air around here.

*

Zhuang Baihua held an enamel tea mug while kindly calling his subordinate into the office. After a long night’s talk, the subordinate staggered out blankly and went to help an old lady cross the road.

Everyone else: As expected of the extremist emperor CEO! He mindbroke him!

Zhuang Baihua: …I just taught him core values.

*

Chi Yue was the “little white flower” protagonist. Everyday, the five possessive love interests around him showcased their mental issues. Just when he’d gotten used to it, Zhuang Baihua appeared, presented a banner, and said with a face full of affectionate care, “Comrade, you’ve worked hard.”

Chi Yue: “….”

MC's whole mission was to save ML and change the out of the ending.

All 5 possessive gongs* had mental problems. It really took someone like MC to treat them.

MC is a social justice warrior, he's kind and always upright, inspiring others. So positive and comfortable to be around.

... more>> ML suffered alot on the verge of giving up. Before MC appears. Our little weak lotus turn into ravish little wolf want to devour MC.

Comedy central seeing how MC using his upright aura and justified speeches combat these sick in the brains Gongs. 8 years gap ain't a joke but feel so natural.

Shout to Secretary Chen for being a great support.

Love this novel, short read but worth it <<less

A bit like Scott pilgrim vs the world but instead of seven evil exes it's like four obsessive 'love interests'.

MC - Baihua, super upright and kind guy transported into a domineering CEO role. Adjusts pretty well all things considered, tries to avoid Chi Yue at first but becomes really protective in time. Basically a good guy baffled by the obsessive maniacs bothering Chi Yue (including his original self). I like that his physique is rather muscular especially since he's the 'shou'. Honestly I sometimes think he's too nice in the... more>> sense he believes or wants everyone to return to becoming a better member so society.

ML - Chi Yue, obviously not as 'little white flower' as he appears. His inconsistencies and mysteries get brought up per the plot. Honestly, he's remarkably well adjusted all things considered.

I think the romance is pretty nice. You get why Chi Yue would fall in love with the MC. MC is also so concerned about Chi Yue it's easy to see it slide towards love. MC is always trying to bring light into Chi Yue's life and let him see that society is still good. Although Chi Yue is also too dependent on MC imo, it's understandable.

Otherwise I felt the plot was draggy towards the end and there are certain depictions of a specific mental illness that made me go hmm. <<less

I really like this novel, the MC is so reasonable and sensible, he knows he's in a novel and a lot of things aren't logical but he still makes the logical decisions that should be made in real life.

I also like how the ML starts out having the physique of a small and weak white lotus, but because of MC he starts stuffing himself with tonic soups, protein and doing a lot of exercise so he doesn't lose to the MC's muscular body.

My favorite character is the secretary with his... more>> continuous comments about the MC being the emperor and the ML being the demonic concubine, it's so hilarious that you have to be careful where you're reading it. <<less

I liked a lot! Totally subverted my expectations

It was very refreshing in its comedy and plot. While I can’t comment on the accuracy of the mental illnesses represented in this novel,

I was pleasantly surprised that all of them got psychological treatment.

This was a pretty short novel and I finished it in two days (MTL is very readable)

Shoutout to the great translation by Ruyi at CG! They even make the effort to translate the og Chinese comments so give them a lot of love <3

This was so good. I love the MCs personality so much. He dealt with all supporting MLs with kindness and logic. He didn't just teach them lesson but also seeks professional help when needed.

I love the twist and turn of the plot. Although I only read it via MTL it was still understandable. Thank you for the translator for picking this up!

I liked this one. Felt pretty refreshing since the MC has a pretty different vibe to him (old person).

Fleshed out characters, interesting plot, genuinely uniquely mentally ill antagonist gongs; a good story all around but has notes of strong core socialist values vibe (but more about values, not nationalist at all)

A con was that it had bad mental illness depictions for ... more>>

, not in a derogatory or stigmatized way but in a “the author has no idea what they’re talking about”. The vibe always is pretty positive since the MC puts a heavy focus on rehabilitation and moving towards a healthier future.

key note: ML is not a yandere, just traumatized. He’s obsessive but not in the yandere controlling way, but in the

being afraid to look away because he doesn’t want the MC to disappear as suddenly as he appeared, so he does the natural thing and follows him around and watches at night before he gets used to it and isn’t afraid anymore
