I skipped this novel several times due to the summary lol

Here’s a more detailed summary:

MC is very lazy! He can even fall asleep while walking and he really loves sleeping (can’t blame him, I do too)

... more>> And that’s what everybody thinks - that he’s just the lazy yet gorgeous son of their village

But it turns out that MC is super smart and that’s why he likes to sleep a lot cause in his brain, the dao or old teachers come to life and he converses with them, fly in a crane etc.

And he is also very lazy because he knows that his medical services are not really needed because they have a lot of apprentices that can cure people (he comes from a family of miracle doctors)

ML on the other hand is a prince and general known for his ruthlessness

Sooooo they met when...

The emperor (ML’s brother) wanted to set ML up with MC’s sister.

MC’s sister really doesn’t want to and she tells MC that while they are at a restaurant (not knowing that ML is also there) and MC kinda tells his sister that maybe she can jump to a river to prove her point to their family that she really doesn’t want to get married lol

Afterward, there was some trouble with the mountain bandits and ML plans on solving that problem

While he’s at it, he requests from MC’s family that MC joins him on this trip (ML has a grudge because of what happened in the restaurant) and during the trip, ML is like a kid! He bullies MC by going into his carriage so MC couldn’t sleep, ML pretending that he doesn’t have a pulse etc.

It’s also during this time that ML realizes that MC has really good medical skills and that’s how the story developed (after the bandits, there were 2-3 more issues that they needed to solve which were fun to read)

What I really love about this novel is how MC and ML fell in love naturally, it didn’t feel forced at all. It was like everything was just falling into place >///<

And I also really love how — when ML found out that MC has imaginary friends (the old men talking to him about dao in his dreams), he actually indulges that! He even drinks with one of MC’s imaginary friend. And they were not really in love yet at this point!

It’s very endearing to read this novel~

And I feel like an old woman going “ahh how nice it is to fall in love” when I read ML and MC’s scenes

Plus, this novel doesn’t just focus on the romance. Their adventures and how they solve several problems were really a good read!

Overall, just read this! I’m 90% sure you’ll like this too!! <<less

I rarely write reviews but this is such an overlooked story that I feel compelled to urge anyone who stumbles on this: please read it!

Finding this story is like wandering around a danmei land littered with rocks but glimpsing something glittering in the distance and discovering a perfect diamond.

Read it if you believe in charming, playful, unique characters and a well thought out plot that is interesting on its own merits. The synopsis doesn’t do justice to the unusual genre bending and I’m full of admiration for this author. The... more>> TL is superb.

I can’t believe more people haven’t read it. I read a lot of every kind of danmei and this lovingly written story has leapt into the handful at the top of my list. It’s hard to find a danmei author who has a light hand and a translator that does it justice.

The synopsis by OuryaneOO above is spot on, and the description of the protagonists by reluctantMTL as “... misunderstood genius perpetually on the verge of ascending to immortality and an intimidating yet petty prince/general who is the only one who can understand him...” is perfect.

I was going to wait to write this review until the TL was completed but I just couldn’t hold back any longer, I want to support this author and translator, and help readers who enjoy quirky historic danmei find their way to a lovely story. <<less

Pretty good story and pretty good translation.

The novel entertained me greatly. There were some parts that could be better but it is still better than most.

Especially MC is a somewhat novel character. Thanks to his memory he was able to firm his own dream world (lucid dreaming) and lived the lives of the people in those books he read. He is a 48000 year old person in spirit.... but in real life he is misunderstood as a lazy bone that never moves and rather does than copying books. No... more>> one beloved that he already learned everything just by reading a book once, so he was too lazy to explain and insist.... until he meets this prince with a fearsome reputation.

The prince did belive him and put a lot of effort to ground this immortal to his mortal world.

So there is character development but mainly for MC. From a detached person only interested in his own world to someone that yearns to see all the sights.... sometimes.

I find it a good read and would recommend it. <<less

This is a very fun, well-written story about a misunderstood genius perpetually on the verge of ascending to immortality and an intimidating yet petty prince/general who is the only one who can understand him.

The story touches on some heavy themes, but there is an almost whimsical undertone in the writing that gives it a unique charm.

MC and ML have vastly different personalities and outlooks on life, but they fit together very naturally as they traverse the country, solving mysteries and helping the common people.

The summary of the plot is really discouraging potential readers to read this Gem. I put off this story for months because of the summary but dang I was wrong. The story is probably carried by the unique characteristics of the MC. It is rare to encounter an MC neurodivergent cases thus I love this. Moreover, the characterization of all characters are on point! Even supporting and villain characters felt alive. Even the cute banter between the MC and the ML. Lastly, I like how the story is not giving... more>> the reader headaches since a chapter is not entirely about the issues surrounding the cases because the author made sure to give us dog food to heal our hearts.

So the true plot is like this:

MC is a true genius with possible photographic memory and likes to daydream which causes him to look lazy all the time. Which is somehow true because he SLEEPS a lot. This causes the people around him to not take him seriously until The ML comes around. Therefore they embark on a journey together solving cases.

So READ THIS NOW!❤️ <<less

oh boy!!!!!!! this novel is such a hidden gem, I love it soo much.

the characters are so unique! I think Liu Xian’an is such an interesting MC with how his aloofness & laziness is portrayed.. def a mixture of realizing that he’s disassociating and kiind of depressed... but at the same time his journey on being grounded by Liang Shu is so good! Xiao An’s temperament is so refreshing honestly I haven’t met another character quite like him.. the side characters were also really great! Gao Ling & A’Ning &... more>> Cheng Suyue serve as great humor but also really build their friendship group (if it could be considered that but it really gives the vibes) + reoccurring side characters + family members were good!!! really nice to see no dog blooded family disputes... the villains were also written pretty well & given complexity which I really enjoyed!

On that note, I like that the big plot in this novel was about cults! really cool to see that exploration of dealing with troubles inside the home instead of invading empires..

as for the r’ship, Liu Xian’an & Liang Shu are so sticky and sweet!!!!!! they’re complete opposites but they compliment each other very much! their flirting & banter makes me giggle like a school girl they are just so cute... I love how smooth their r’ship went & how there wasn’t anything dramatic<3

the humor in this novel was also really enjoyable I ended up laughing a lot even on the reread! the author & translator also did really well; I think the translator was able to capture the author’s unique writing style that was very whimsical even? overall I quite enjoyed this novel a lot, def one of my favs that I hope to have in my hands some day sigh... <3 <<less

I had such a f*king blast reading this. Such a gem that I will definitely be coming back to and rereading as a comfort read.

I loooooved the MC, ML, and literally every single one of the side characters. So many hilarious moments, fun adventure, a bit of morbidity, and even some small empathy for a few side villains.

It's so well written and translated, and have nothing but love for this book.

Spoiler

I loved the MC. I loved his personality and, not going to lie, I'm a fan of the 'secretly OP' trope.

I loved that there wasn't any unnecessary drama and most of the miscommunication results in a lot of hijinx

Rating: 4.5/5

Summary made it look like enemy to lover trope but it's not. In actual this is the journey of sleepy af Lazy young master and his narcissistic prince (who like to disturb him) solving the mystery and falling in love.

PS: I usually don't like redemption of villians but For once, in this one, I kind of hoped for it ... more>>
Spoiler

i especially felt bit sorry for the girl who fell for general and was kind of hoping for General to change her and end up together but well..... ok.... she did killed a lot of people. May be it was for better. Still I wouldn't have mind to see toxic relationship between them get better........ also I can't bring myself to ship MC sis with the general.

Also I actually used to ship MC sister with the villian guy (Sick one, who's still strong as ML). The moment she said her type (in men), the villian guy clicked my mind and I lowkey shipped them but as we got closer to end, I knew it was just an hopeless illusion. Well, he wouldn't have lived for long anyways, he was already dying.

[collapse]

but it didn't happened. Well, I did liked how the author dealt it with no redemption sh*t for villians and the ending for villians but I am also little bit sad for it.

Overall I enjoyed it very much. I like the chemistry between the leads. A bit frustrating and annoying at first but sweet and fluff at the end.

Fluff... mostly fluff. MC is a lazy genius. ML is kinda OP. The two complemented each other. I know some might be a bit bored with the pace of the story. But, I like it! No complicated misunderstanding. The villains are clear. Its easy to read.

An epic tale about Sleeping beauty and his Prince! ♡٩ (^▿^) ۶♡

The MC literally loves to sleep, so much so that he can even sleep while walking. lmao! The prince loves to indulge the MC's love of sleep and very much supportive of his laziness. MC's a genius actually but because he believe that if it's not needed for him to move, he will not move even an inch and really doesn't care if everyone misunderstood him. The ML, our Prince, is also a genius when it comes to strategic... more>> battles. I love how they compliment each other while their difference is as vast as the sea. A match made in heaven indeed.

As for both families, the MC's family although they misunderstood him as being lazy and good for nothing, they are still very loving to him and they are trying their best to correct his attitude. For the ML's side, there's no political or power struggle or whatsoever. The emperor loves both the prince and their younger sister. So I am very happy that there's no villain in both families.

Unpopular opinion, my heart hurts for Feng Xiaojin and the Wumeng siblings! q (╯ᆺ╰๑) FX back story is really sad, and for the siblings, they were raised by an evil man but you can still see how both siblings love each other.

Special shoutout to A-Ning, Lt. Gen. Gao, Cheng Suyue, Chang Xiaoqiu, Liu Hengchang and Liu Xianche! The side characters here are not decorations, so +1 point to the writer.

Okay, I ship Liu Nanyuan and Ku You! ♥ (ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

That said, I highly recommend this novel for everyone to read!

Oh I forgot.... I need to smack Mu Zhe a hundred time! argh! <<less

I know a lot of people have said this, but the description of this story is very poorly chosen.

This story itself is a hidden gem, so there's no need to discuss the plot too much because it's clearly good.

Meanwhile, for the characters themselves, both MC and ML are written very well.

... more>> I like how ML is shown to always tolerate MC and his world, but at the same time also reminds him not to forget his real world.

As for the side characters, all of them are actually written quite shallowly, but because the plot of the story itself is only slightly oriented around them, this thing doesn't really have an effect on anything.

And for the villains, apart from Mu Zhe, the others can be said to be evil due to circumstances.

Btw it's just my opinion but I still feel there are too many shortcomings by the author when she writing the twin characters.

Like there is a lot of things that can be explored, but the author just like to pass it all. <<less

This novel is such a hidden gem! I think it's underrated because the summary is confusing (and this scene never even happens! So misleading!). The premise of the story is that the MC (Liu Xian'an) is such a genius that he primarily lives in his own imaginary world. This is why he is perceived by everyone else as a lazy, good for nothing. In the beginning of the story, the emperor arranged a marriage between the MC's sister and the ML (Liang Shu), who is a military prince with a... more>> bloodthirsty reputation due to his exploits defending the border. The MC's sister doesn't want to marry the ML and asks the MC to help dissuade the ML. This leads to the MC going on a trip with the ML where they then uncover conspiracies as they become close.

The writing for this is really good: it's a balance of comedy, romance, and mystery. Their dynamic is a lot fun: the ML is mischievous and constantly teasing the MC, but wholly understands the MC. The MC is so out there because the world in his mind is overwhelming and his reactions are hilariously strange. I'm constantly giggling out loud about how silly and sweet these two are. The mysteries are interesting and interconnected to an overarching plot of the evil cult. The plot is fairly straightforward but there are some unexpected twists. What this author also does well is fleshing out the side characters. While the primary focus is the main CP, the side characters have distinctive personalities and character growth. The families of the main CP are great, and their reactions to their relationship is so funny. Thankfully no toxic family related dogblood. Gao Lin, the ML's lieutenant, is one of my favorites. His attempts to matchmake for the ML is hilarious. This man deserves the world for putting up with the main CP! I appreciate how the female characters are portrayed as people instead of shallow caricatures. I especially liked how the author gave depth to the villains.
Spoiler

The Wumeng siblings are really tragic. Even though they've done truly evil things, I can't help but also feel bad for their terrible circumstances. Also, Feng Xiaojin the poor soul! I really wanted him to have some happiness. I'm glad he was able to get a little closure in the end. Even the cult master has depth. On one hand, that guy is such a twisted scumbag, but on the other hand, the world was against him from the start. It's not fair to blame him for being born into a cult and persecuted for existing, though what he did later on in life is truly horrific.

[collapse]

This novel has nuance: nothing is so simply perfectly good or bad. Some sacrifices are needed to achieve better results for the greater number of people, but those costs are not always fair. The romance between the main CP is 100% sugar and diabetes inducing. Everyone around them is fed so much dog food! If you're looking for angst, you won't find much here. I highly recommend this novel and really hope others will give it a try! <<less

I liked the translator’s synopsis:

“Misunderstood genius accompanies misunderstood prince to solve crimes.”

Started off strong with the discovery of MC’s talents and ML’s teasing juxtaposed with MC’s indifference and the subsequent slow burn romantic developments. Laughed a couple of times at how ridiculously logical our dear MC is that shut up a lot of other characters. The family interactions were very funny.

The villains were built up enough for me to get invested in them and

feel pity when they died. But the deaths were too abrupt, man.

[collapse]

Some of the big twists and happenings didn’t seem to have a proper build-up and just happened, then quickly moved on, without due attention to let me fully absorb it. So with that, it got a little bit draggy towards the middle-end which is a bit of a pity.

Wish there was smut, ahahaha.

Did enjoy it, but not sure if I would re-read. The fluff was good, but not exceptional to make up for the slow yet fast parts. <<less

~4.5 stars

like the other review I also skipped this novel before due to the summary but their summary made me give it a try. Its a lot better than the summary

first half top tier 5 stars, however idk if its pacing issues maybe in the second half which also had me drop it and come back to it and force myself to finish it

author is great at developing relationships and characters however maybe its because there was so much potential tossed away that also annoyed me. I get with webnovels... more>> its often hard to plan things out so it fits perfectly but im mourning the potential this had to be one of my absolute favourites while instead the lacking is obvious because other planned parts are flawless

Spoiler

parts second half focused a lot less of MC and ML and instead on the whole defeating the baifu cult overarching plot but like the author worked so hard to develop feng and yunyou and yunle making them go from pure evil villains to a product of their circumstances with no other choice with human desires and very possible to emphasize with before giving them all tragic deaths like ?????? Pls 😭 at first I was annoyed by the author focusing so much on random cannon fodder side characters like wanting to see more of MC and ML but then I fall in love with the side characters and not one of them gets to live like ;; the author is so good at bringing side characters to life but then after their arc they disappear or die with no consolation. And then dragging out other parts making it hard to get through

I had been feeling bored because I couldn't find a novel I was interested in. I didn't expect to come across such a gem. My favorite thing about it is the MC's personality. He's just a salted fish and if something doesn't have to be done by him, then there's no need bothering to do it. I like his laziness. On the other hand, I like how ML indulgeces and how he dotes on him. If the MC asks for the moon, he won't bring him the stars. They're made... more>> for each other. <<less

This is a freaking awesome novel!

It deals with tough stuff in a way that's easy to swallow. The plot is like a rollercoaster, but the writing is smooth sailing, making it impossible to put down.

Seriously, the romance is relationship goals. Forget annoying drama, these two just click. Big thanks to the translator for making this gem sparkle in English!

This book is basically everything you want in a read. No fluff, all good stuff. The story, the characters, what they do and what happens next – it's all perfectly woven... more>> together.

It's like binge-watching your favorite snacks, you just can't get enough.

The bad guys are messed up, with plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing. Totally worth the ride. Even though they did some seriously messed up things, you kinda feel bad for them because of their crappy childhoods. But hey, that doesn't make it okay, right?

Shoutout to the translator for making this such a smooth read – you rock! <<less

But I stumbled upon another novel on the translation site and then after reading that, I read this one andddd struck gooolllddd.. It is funny, sweet, and the adventures actually keeps me hooked.
