Description

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

Yu Hua loses his job, and the weight of the household falls on the shoulders of his partner, You Zhengping. 

His husband is a temporary employee at the subdistrict office, with a monthly salary of only 2500; this troubles Yu Hua exceedingly.

You Zhengping is secretly engaged in the work of protecting the world from Destroyers, with a rather liberal subsidy. 

You Zhengping spends all day fretting: how can he tell Yu Hua that he has a few million in private savings without giving anything away? 

Right up until the day that You Zhengping receives a notice that a power great enough to destroy the world has appeared in his home. 

Worried that something will happen to Yu Hua, an ordinary person, You Zhengping hurries home with his team. Once through the door, he sees a peaceful home, Yu Hua wearing an apron, a lifted frying pan in his hand, and a fish, golden on both sides and its aroma wafting around, frying in the pan. 

Seeing You Zhengping, Yu Hua puts the frying pan on the switched-off electric stove and wipes his hands on his apron. “I wanted to save on the electricity bill.” 

You Zhengping: …

The entire world’s most awesome Destroyer is his husband.

An overpowered MC that wants to live a peaceful life and his attempts to live that way... I surprised myself because I really loved reading this story. Among the fighting and struggling there is sweet fluff and declarations of love that had me flailing around in my bed as I stayed up past midnight reading. It's got some comedy, action, superpowers, fluff, angst, and does such a good job balancing all these together to weave together into a sweet love story that I will remember for a long time.

The ending... more>> was beautiful, I was crying so much because it made me so emotional. I was worried if it would be a happy end for a bit and my fears were unwarranted, it has a great ending that left me thinking "I really found a good novel." This is something I'd like to have on my bookshelf. I would love to re-read it sometime in the future. <<less

I like the plot and the world building, very well done.

And I just love our ML (You Zhengping), he is ball of sunshine. The line between MC and ML is very thin in this story. Both of them are so OP!

Maybe many people will found the MC (Yu Hua) detestable regarding his treatment to his subordinate but, , ,
Spoiler

From chapter 99:
Yu Hua would absorb the Destroyers’ System abilities, shatter their delusions, and at the same time use his actions to tell them to atone for their crimes and live well. He would use high pressure policies to force the levelers to submit, but they would quickly get accustomed to the differences between the new world and their original worlds.

Yu Hua never expressed it in words, but he showed the Destroyers with practical actions that the past was already past, in the future, they could still live steady, realistic lives.

[collapse]

I found Yu Hua reason is acceptable, as many levelers hold their head high and need to be beaten to reality, lmao

It's a pretty fun read, I adore Zhen Li and Cen Xiao for the comedy element, hahaa

A bit regret maybe because I hope there will be huge scale action for the ending, but in actual it feels lacking.
BUT it still wrapped nicely.

It’s extremely good! The translation is really good too 😭 can’t put down the book once I started, the main couple is soooo sweet and soooo good towards each other. I love how op the MC is. And his husband is also super powerful. The MC is a control freak, the only time he is semi normal is when he is with his husband but there’s a reason! I loooove it.

Amazing story, the pace was good with emotional build up for the plot.

What I found the most surprising was the blurred lines between the gong and the shou. They don't have the typical characteristics of gong and shou for 90% of the story. They do have thoughts of being competely dependent on the other, but when it comes down to it, they would both want to provide for the other. Which is what I found novel in this genre.

Love Love Love

PLOT

Okay, SO this was an absolute fresh read for me. The story line like no other with humour, fluff and literally everything! The Plot was written in an understandable way and the Fights eventhough only around 1-2 chapters still made me anxious. The Final fight was okayish but still satisfying. I don't have much to say but I absolutely Love it!! I mean I am not surprised I love the plot - This is one of my favorite authors!!

... more>> CHARACTERS

The Main Leads are written wonderfull! They appear almost realistic except the MC has pretty OP powers. The Love MC has for ML is understandable. MC may appear controlling but he is more like, Persuasive and that can be attributed to the fact that he had a life worse than death in the System's hands. So a person in darkness would want to hold onto that light which is Xia You and is mentioned by the author several times to understand his mindset. Yu Hua (MC) may act like an absolute scum to the employees and you can slowly understand his mindset eventhough in the starting it may feel a bit harsh. Yu Hua is possessive of the ML and also becomes very jealous and the funny part - The ML never realizes!

ML is an absolute fluff. Wrecking Yu Hua's carefully made plans like a bulldozer. He didn't find out Yu Hua being a sabateur like shown in the summary but that scene does happen but only in the 100's. He has absolute trust in Yu Hua and its absolutely cute how they get along completely spreading dog food everywhere. He is an absolute fluff but he is strong and doesn't rely on people though, After all, He is the squad captain.

The Side characters are also constructed wonderfully and you get a little bit of backstory from the main ones. Honestly I can only remember Cen Xiao from ML's squad. The rest of the members are only mentioned 4-5 times max. The Side characters add a great deal of humour and plot to the story and makes it wonderful!!

They even put a little extra on how the characters survive later which is a different pov and its honestly so wholesome.
Spoiler

All of them lose their power so when they eat as they used to do as before, they start to become fat because the calories they had eaten when they had their powers would turn into energy but Now when they eat the same amount - They will become fat.

[collapse]

TL;DR - I absolutely love it and it is a very satisfactory read

Also a shoutout to the translator!! - They are literally the BEST!! Double updates everyday with excellent translation!! What more can I want???

THANK YOU TRANSLATOR!!!! <<less

This was really surprisingly good so far. The synopsis did successfully convey that this would be a fluffy story. I thought it was going to be probably a generic fluffy story but instead, it actually has some great character and story development from the get-go. I highly recommend reading it and the translation is great as well. I’ll have a hard time trying to stop and stock-pile chapters to read.

Look, I just read one chapter, and I already couldnt stop, going to chapter 3, I'm holding my stomach coz it hurts from laughing too much.

The comedy tone and element, is not forced, doesnt feel like it's too ridiculous or over, it feels slowly flowed and nicely taste. Updated. Completed

All my previous opinion of this novel still stand. And

I couldnt say if this is a waste of time it definitely NOT. Marvelous work.

And the MC is the gong.

I love a good OP MC. This is one of the best. The relationship between You Zhengping and Yu Hua is so wholesome and pure and ahdkfjhafkdjha. It's also got its fair share of laughs. Just a good solid novel. Like one of the other reviewers said, I also love drama, but sometimes you just want to read a good story. This is that.

Established relationship! Finally!!!

It was very entertaining and comedic with the right amount of action. I really loved it but my interest waned when I got to the last 5-10 chapters hahaha that's why I'm giving it a 4.5 star

This novel is Sakamoto Days But Danmei.

Tonally, it feels just like a shounen story with a higher than usual percentage of tooth-rotting fluff between the two leads. There's a lot of comedy, shounen villains-of-the-week dealt with in sudden powerups that still feel very tonally authentic in a Jojo-way, and great characters. It's high-quality both as a danmei story and a shounen story.

Not only do the leads have a good relationship, but the side characters are also very entertaining too, which is very good for keeping up a good variety of... more>> jokes and preventing them from becoming dry. I especially like Zhen Li, the brainless beauty who just wants to collect pretty outfits and also has a good heart inside of him.

The running (serious and by the protagonist side) usage of "ideological education" in the story does rub me the wrong way, though, since in real life it's the Chinese state government's attempts to brainwash people it doesn't like, not the basis of moral knowledge the author thinks it is. <<less

A great novel with a cute romance, interesting plot and a wonderful and funny cast for supporting characters. No smut other than implication.

Yu Hua and You Zhengping and their romance are written very well with depth and thought given to their characters and actions.

Coming to the novel, I was hoping for some light hearted silliness- but got so much more than that. Really a brilliant novel, you get s**ked in by the silly, funny fluff and then sucker punched by bits of angst and bucket loads wholesome feels.

Mostly unrelated to the plot, one element I love about the novel is that the main couple are together from the very start of the book. Rather than sitting through yet another getting together story, even if they can be excellent, reading a wonderful relationship in... more>> full bloom as it continues to develop and each partner has their own sides of an adventure is so refreshing and enjoyable.

Just read it, you won't regret it 😀 <<less

PERFECT! Everything about this story is perfect!

What I love about this novel is that it has two main characters, rather than an MC and an ML. The story is not told in a single perspective and both of them are extremely reasonable people with their own views and thoughts. Apart from that, the writing and execution of the storyline is absolutely flawless! It is a well thought out story and I love everything about it. (Let's ignore tthe fact that the number of women mentioned in this novel can be... more>> counted on one hand... not that I'm complaining!) <<less

Entertaining novel. Yu Hua, a super strong being, has lived for many years and just wants a peaceful life with the person he loves. You Zhengping, is carefree and naive compared to Yu Hua. They are deeply in love with each other but each have kept their real identities a secret.

The story follows how their secret identities are discovered by the other. Also the comedy of how Yu Hua turns the unfortunate ferocious Destroyers into his "s*aves." Hahaha! There are other cute plot points so it's a worthy read.

Super good read! The MC is several thousand years old, very powerful, good at manipulating people, and rather obsessive towards his husband.

Romance: mainly the perpetuation of the existing relationship since they're already married.

I found the first section of the novel (before their secret identities were revealed to each other) more enjoyable than the later parts since it had more funny moments.

One of the best novels with a system. I especially liked the beginning. It was hilarious and I like how the MCs interact as a couple. Their relationship is more realistic than most novels of this kind.

But, I don't really recall a novel like this. It's unique. If I really have to think about it, when it comes to the concept, it's a bit similar to Quickly wear the face of a devil. But it has a different take on the whole idea. While reading the novel, you can't really... more>> make this connection because they are so different.

Both MC and ML have 3D personalities potential but because of the execution, they come across as idealistic gary stues. They have all the potential to be memorable characters in my book but it didn't really happen.

I think my favorite characters are Luo Hai, Lian Yufen and JunJun. I just feel like their stories connected are more compelling and realistic. I like how all the lose ends are tied up in the end.

The reason why I only rated it 4 is because I didn't really feel much up and downs in emotions while reading. I didn't laugh hysterically or cried my heart out. There are only occasional laughter and a few tears.

Overall it's a good novel. I just don't see it as something I'll remember for a long time. <<less

This is a good read

The characters is not two dimensional, each of the characters is used to build the story, give it some depth and maybe too fast paced. But it's minimize the plot hole and cut the novel short

It didn't make the ML look OP from the start (well maybe he is OP) but the flashbacks is mentioned so nvm, a lil silly but with reasoning the author give it'll make you nod your head "That's true.."

... more>> So good and make me forgot about my thesis

Maybe some of readers didn't like it, but I'm enjoying it so much. One of danmei I really like. Deserve the 5 ✨ <<less

It's truly Worth it....!

It took me so long to finally chose to read this... But I'm so glad I actually read this on this year and month. Because it was so Intriguing and Absolutely Enjoyable, it helped me out easing some of my stress.

The Mutual Unconditional Love and Devotion was such a Chefkiss! 😘👌

... more>> No doubting each other's heart even when things revealed.

MC's Calculation of everything, but he can never know what ML would do. But he will always indulging him.

All those Supporting Characters are Gold!!! Enemies become Friends and Allies. I'm Absolutely LOVING IT!!!

The Fun interactions. So Funny and Sooo Gooood!!!

MC had gone through A LOT. He actually gone through Twice Suffering. Makes me and ML sad. But MC just always Happy, Content, and Grateful to meet and can be together with his Rainbow (ML).

It's Truly Great Ride of Story!

Absolutely RECOMMENDED!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! <<less

This novel is funny (yet it is not a comedy), full of dog food, and also has its own unique elements. I wouldn't say that the plot of this story is original, but what makes it stand out is the author's different views and understanding of the world.

I loved both MC and ML, and the side characters are really special too. MC and ML are both strong and clever, but how they interact with each other is really funny and sweet. The dynamics in the studio were too funny, and... more>> the side characters are simply hilarious.

This novel has a really good pace—not too fast but also not too slow. The story itself is interesting too. I really enjoyed reading it. The author is talented, the novel is well written, and it is interesting to read. If you like this genre, I definitely recommend it. <<less

We all love a good love story, where the couple's every important moment is seen by us. But you know what is even better? Husbands from the first page. Fluff in abandon. Enough sugar and dogfood to make us full.

You Zhengping is a secret superhero, a Protector. His job is to oppose the Destroyers, the villains, who come from who knows where from time to time, have special powers, and who threaten the safety of their world and the ordinary citizens such as Yu Hua, his husband.

Yu Hua used to... more>> be the most powerful Destroyer throughout all the worlds. Now he spends his happy retirement doing housework, cooking for his beloved You Zhengping, just being in peace. That is, until part of his sealed off power activates suddenly and he has to be careful not to hurt his ordinary human husband.

This is the superhero book with showbiz elements, underestimated protagonists and domestic fluff you always needed. And the fan translation is one of the best I've ever read. <<less
