Mr. Yuan is Always Unhappy

Description

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

Mr. Zheng (top) who stands at 186cm has liked women with fair skin and big b**bs for 30 years. Out of nowhere, he found himself in love with the bronzed-skinned and flat-chested Mr. Yuan (bottom) who stands at 189cm. From then on, he started his lovey-dovey life with shoe insoles.

Mr. Yuan has been single for 27 years and has had countless one-sided crushes that never worked out. Finally, he met his true love, Mr. Zheng. But, Mr. Zheng was a chest fanatic (purely liked rubbing chests). So he couldn’t help but need to start buying boxes after boxes of chest pastes.

This is so damn sweet. The main couple is just really wholesome. So far there is no big plot or anything going on. Its basically just the daily life events of the main couple who have already been in a stable relationship stage for sometime now. But even the simple mundane moments oozes with sweetness while being realistic. The way the two of them accomodate the other and take care of each other through the simple day-to-day stuff is just ugggh so satisying and relaxing to read.

I really like the... more>> MC as well. Such a sweet cinnamon roll... When you start reading the MC comes of as a little bit of a blockhead in the body of a male god and pretty much everyone around him thinks of him the same way including himself. Not in a bad way where he is insecure about his naivete; he simply acknowledges it bcoz its true and his s*upidity is funny and endearing. But as you read a little more you start to realise just how mature/ smart he actually is when it comes to his interactions with people. He has really good EQ where he is really considerate of the people he cares about so much so that one moment they would be wondering why he is such a blockhead bcoz of something or the other that he does but then he explains or they find out why he did it and they realise just how mature/sweet the MC is. He thinks about, notices and takes care of even the little things about the people he cares about. And regarding any annoying sh*t people do to him, its not that he doesn't understand when someone tries to pit him or whatnot, he just doesn't care enough about such s*upidity to do anything about it. He simply does things his way so that he has peace of mind. As simple as that. In short, a pure, precious lil sweetie (not in an annoying mary sueish way.)

About the ml- Another reviewer mentioned how the ML seems like he does not value the MC with the example of how he talks about his mother's rantings. Thats not really the case. In the beginning it might seem like the MC is more invested in the relationship and the ML not so much but as you continue reading you realise thats not true. The ML absolutely cherishes the MC and makes sure the MC doesn't get carried away with his give-in-to-others-to-keep-peace attitude. Also, honestly I find it nice that they have good enough trust and communication between them to talk about the tantrums ml's mom throws. Their relationship is stable enough for them to share things like that without worrying abt offending the other. They openly talk about the little jealousies, vents abt the silly or annoying stuff that happens to them, etc.

(r.i.p ML for having to deal with yuan xiao rui's (mc) shameless fanboying over all the good looking guys he meets lol. Oh and kudos to ML for maintaining the lil jealousies as funny, insignificant episodes that never affects their relationship nor comes anywhere near being toxic; and also to the MC for giving his boyfriend the sense of security to do that. Well it might also have a lot to do with the fact that the ML is pretty much rendered speechless by the fanboying that he often forgets to respond to it) <<less

It's alright, and by that, I mean out of all the other books set in this universe, currently translated, this one is the most readable. I urge you not to waste your time though. There's nothing particularly wrong... it's just a bland, sweet read. Except if fluff is what you want, there are better-written books out there. Half the time, it feels like I'm reading filler.

This story is quite simple, and close to reality.

Two normal people, though one is a celebrity, who faced many loneliness in the past, when they got each other, how they love each other is the story. In the starting, many of them won't like ML, even I didn't like him. But as the story goes on, you can see how much ML changed for MC and how he is helpless against his mother as a son. ML didn't have any ambitions in life or anything he want, he was just... more>> fooling around and going on with flow. Until he met MC, he started to change. MC is a precious gem, he is so s*upid and naive but in a adorable way.

Quite a good story to pass the time. <<less

Another failure. Not for me, guys. Ugh, I am sad.

Reasons- Not beefy, already an established relationship (not the troupe I usually go for — You see, I like angst and fluff that goes into building the relationship. But I didn't see the tags, so my mistake.

I still haven't read it so, it isn't really a great review and I think you should give it a try before deciding.

The title is Misleading. Our MC have a Pretty Happy Life together with ML.

They're already in relationship since the start of the Novel. Pretty Harmonious and Cute.

They're also Pretty Funny! I'm serious, the author really wrote the novel in Pretty Comedic way and it was Totally Enjoyable!

... more>> It was different from many other BL novel. But in refreshing way. I enjoyed it a lot!

We really can see this Couple Growth. How they more honest with each other. Knowing much more about the past. Accepting each other's habit/flaws. They doing it Pretty Healthy! Not Perfect, but Steady.

No Drama. But also not Pure Fluff. How to say? Just read it!

I Love it! <<less

This is a gem. Slice of life with a couple that learns how to love each other the best they can. I really enjoy how supportive they are, and it's done in a humorous way. I found the sweetness of the couple to be balanced, there are ups and downs, uncertainties, but their bond holds. The side story about another couple was not my thing at all.

everyone is flawed, but everyone is human. I love that this story has no overbearing CEO ML or highly talented actor MC. MC often said that he's s*upid, but he was not bitter, just acknowledging that he had no head for intrigue, schemes, or secrets. There are some comedic moments, frustrating moments, happy moments, but overall tone is warm and fluffy.

It's actually pretty good.. Rating : 4.5 /5

The MC is a gem.. He is a bit dumb, and also a huge hot-guy-fanatic.. But never derails or even thinks of cheating.. Instead, in reality, he is very very very caring towards his boyfriend.. Though a celebrity, he actually behaves like a totally ordinary person, specially when it comes to money.. The ML is not the everyday overbearing CEO.. Though he is an illegitimate son of a rich family, he himself is totally average type of guy.. He becomes jealous because of... more>> MC's blatant fawning over hot dudes.. But never does he force himself on the MC or verbally abuses him to show his possessiveness.. To be honest, I really like this type of people and relationships..

The story doesn't have colorful face slapping, backstabbing or b*tching.. It doesn't even feel like reading a novel about a celebrity x rich kid either.. It might seem slow or dull if you're looking for a dramatic shounen ai.. <<less

I wanted to give 2* but accidentally gave 3. Sorry.

It is an good novel... The fluff is good, the bare minimum drama MC being a clueless sweetheart, ML being the typical puppy seme. Even the family drama was understandable. ML's mom is a kept woman, so she wants her son to take her revenge etc, but he is just a b**b-obsessed lovesick idiot lmao. MC's family his stepfather and sister are too cute and supportive and generally.

The biggest flaw of the story, the reason it made me drop the novel,... more>> is EXACTLY ONE CHARACTER - Yang Lu. Who is Yang Lu, you ask?

Yang Lu is introduced as a the main director of MC's latest variety show (MC is a popular model/variety show regular) who acts like a bully towards him for no reason. During the process her tones shifts to overbearing tsundere type, until at the wrapp party, she randomly announces that she is planning go adopt him because he has no mother (he still has a father though, you creep). Even the MC is weirded out by this declaration, but his agent practically forces him to accept it. Of course, that should have been the end of that, except this random-ass lady just forcefully interjects into his life.

Like ML's mom shows up to meet MC at his home but this lady, who happened to be there, even afyet being repeatedly told to leave by both parties to leave she not only stays "because I am his godmother, and it is also my family problem", but also forcefully takes the mother away. Then she meets with the ML and insults him about how he will never be enough for the MC and throws him being an illegitimate child in his face. Then she has the audacity to actually show up to their house and tell MC she is doing it "for his own good" and I lost it.

I had to comb through the novel because I just couldnt control myself. I thought she might be connected to MC's dead mom or even his bio-dad, a gambling addict who ditched them over 10years ago, but no. She really is literally a nobody random-ass lady
Spoiler

who is eventually as the estranged mother of MC's first crush in high school. The guy rejected MC twice, before kissing him and then rejecting him again. MC moved on, but apparently that guy never forgot him.

[collapse]

I have no idea what is that lady's agenda.
Spoiler

Is she trying to break the main couple apart so her son can date MC? Is she hoping her good relation with MC will fix her relationship with her son?

[collapse]
Honestly, idk and I dont even care.

I would be fine if she was a love rival or someone from his past, like a secret bio-mom or SOMETHING. but this is literally some random person who has absolutely no business being there and creating problems and misunderstandings, like a C-grade vamp MIL.

Honestly, it would have been a solid 4, but because of that one charactet, it's reduced to 2. <<less

The writing style is very charming and very adorable.

Very slice-of-life. Main characters actually have personalities that don't automatically throw them into 2d boxes like "the tyrant CEO" or "the slacker rich second generation, " or "the innocent talented celebrity."

Love that the ML had his own aspirations (design) and reacted to the events around him realistically ... more>>
Spoiler

being overlooked in his brother's company meant that he lost his passion and goals in life for awhile; he also didn't magically win every award known to man and also wasn't able to fully break away from his powerful family.

[collapse]

One star off for the author's inability to get past top/bottom things and the recurring joke that the MC can make friends with other "bottoms" but not "tops" smh

Otherwise, excellent story with very cute and unique MC and ML. <<less

This is so cuteeeeeee!!!

The honesty and straightforwardness of the relationship is really heartwarming. Although they have some serious conversations, the communication between the CP is realistic and how an issue should be discussed in a relationship.

Not only that, each chapter is hilarious with just the right amount of lovey-doveyness. The relationship is so human with its realistic inclusion of jealousy, but also the happiness and cuddliness.

so fluffy that it heals the heart in just a few chapters :)))

Really, a slice of life and a little close to reality.

The MC is naive and a lil block headed so his partner should have really long patience for him. For ML, I don't like him for MC. He's a little selfish and some of his actions show that he does not value the MC much (not sure in the latter ch's). MC is already insecure yet ML can't do much. Also, as an almost 31y/o ML he shouldn't say the hurtful things that her mom said to the MC. Not... more>> my cup of tea so will drop. Overall, it is still good so 4stars <<less

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 STARS

I'm writing this review after re-reading the story (I think it's been about a year from when I first read this novel) and I think this has officially become my favourite modern day genre danmei novel.

It is a slice of life with showbiz on the side and the leads are already an established couple from the start of the story. Sometimes, in other novels, once the leads get together, the story sometimes hits a stillpoint. However, in this story, I never felt bored at all. The couple... more>> is very entertaining and there are healthy conflicts (which also add to the comedic effect, eg: the MC being a face-con, ML being jealous because of it, and then ML being coaxed by the MC).

The MC himself is also super sweet and also dumb but in an endearing way. Sometimes people make get annoyed with naive or dumb MCs but in this story, even if the MC seems "dumb" at first, he's actually really sweet and caring towards the people that are important to him, and knows when to set boundaries to prevent misunderstandings.

Overall, this novel is a good mix of funny, sweet, and even some heart-warming moments. I would definitely recommend this story. In the future, I might also go for a 2nd re-read (after the plot has faded from my mind and I want to read something fluffy and entertaining after a heavy read). <<less

This is an incredibly funny and enjoyable story! The summary here is a little misleading - it makes this novel sound way more weird and vapid than it is. It is definitely on the lighter side, established relationship and mostly just slice-of-life/fluff. However, it was a very entertaining read due to the humor (seriously, I found it absolutely hilarious) and utterly charming characters. Our MC Yuan Rui is really sweet and earnest, but also the source of a lot of the comedy. He is a little dumb, but more in... more>> an airheaded/naive/eccentric way, not actually s*upid. (I love him so so much.) I thought all the characters were pretty well written (and most importantly, our two main characters) - like, it's comedy but they don't seem too far off from being real people. The relationship was actually very healthy and super sweet without being saccharine. Overall, a high quality comedy and slice of life! <<less

This is the worst novel I ever read in my entire life. Let me explain why the MC is a man who has tan skin with a face-con, the ML is man who likes pale woman with big breast. Why in god’s green earth would you date a man with tan skin if you like pale woman with breast!!!?? Is there a problem with your brain? As a result ML is constantly ogling other w0men and making MC feel insecure. MC is by no means innocent, because he had a... more>> face-con he’s constantly drooling over attractive men and making ML feel insecure. To which this sister has to say, garbage really attracts garbage!!! This novel is a offense to every single book on the site. What kind of man in a serious relationship would be drooling over a woman’s chest and what kind of man would be constantly blushing and acting like a school girl in front of any attractive man. This is the biggest waste of time in my life. <<less

Cute slice of life with two great leads. MC is naive and not too bright and drools over every cute guy he sees, but he is empathetic and is very kind

The ML is a slacker and just glides through life, but he is devoted to MC

The ending felt abrupt and the extras were boring (I never cared for secondary couple). I would have rather have had more main story than the extras
