The Moon is Coming to Me

Description

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

Tao Xi knew the fate of being deliberately exchanged at birth by his “mother” in the third year of middle school. He lived in daze, until he saw Lin Qinhe of Wenhua No.1 High School, a prestigious school thousands of kilometers away, on the remote live broadcast screen of a high school in a poverty-stricken county.

It was him who lived in the bottom of the well, and for the first time, he caught a glimpse of the moon in the sky.

But when he exhausted all his energy to climb out of the well and waded towards the moon, he found that the star beside the moon should have been his position.

Tao Xi wanted Lin Qinhe, along with the love he lost.

Note: 4*/5* because I forgot to rate it after typing this

One of the rare few novels that I binged all the way until the end in like a day. Whew.

This is a BL read that you can enjoy from beginning to end: I've really felt MC's despondence as his hard work wasn't rewarded simply due to one tragedy, surprised over ML's small, yet ultimately significant gestures of affection towards MC, was close to tearing up over the novel's emotional climax, shocked over the plot twists, felt heartburn over the couple's... more>> dog food, and was satisfied with how various conflicts had good closure.

I've definitely grown more and more attatched to our MC and ML as I read the novel. The MC might be a character I merely sympathize with at the start, but I found out all sorts of sides to him later on, from his mischievous, coquettish antics before his SO to all sorts of emotional burdens be bore that made him fragile. On the flip side of the coin, the ML grew from someone I was indifferent with to an absolutely synergestic, doting boyfriend. I blame him for turning my meals while binging this novel to entirely dog food.

On a side note, the side characters aren't that in-depth, but they also don't largely bu*t in to the plot to stall it.

Of course, this novel is far from flawless. Some major elements like the antagonistic best friend's personality, MC's feelings towards his adoptive parents,... etc. were either not dug deep enough or were elaborated on way too late. This can sometimes shed rather key elements of the novel under a shallower light. An example would be the best friend simply writtened off as a spoiled, jealous brat for most of the novel while really important details for his character (expectations for passed down talent, fear of losing loved ones' affection,... etc) were often just glossed over.

All in all, I think this is a good read. Really makes me think how much following a lofty goal like becoming a star that illuminates an exclusive moon can change people. <<less

This was quite an emotional story; I honestly had to pause every few chapters because the storytelling was beautiful, but the MC's background was so heartbreaking. The writing conveyed Tao Xi's feelings very well and it made me understand where his actions and perspectives were coming from. Furthermore, I also liked that the progression of the MC and ML's relationship had a realistic pace.

Although the novel was overall very well-written, as others mentioned, I genuinely feel sad about how YD is portrayed. Given his upbringing, though his character is not... more>> very likeable, the story made me sympathetic towards him since he grew up pampered and simply does not want to lose the people he cherishes. Some of his actions later on are definitely immoral, so his ending is unsurprising. I personally hoped that there would be some sort of resolution between YD and TX with a sincere conversation. Instead, I do believe YD is somewhat depicted as being a villain to an extent and it gave me the impression that he has to be described that way since he is living in the environment TX should have had. TX did get the short end of the stick while YD thrived, but I feel that both are victims of adults' actions; it is not YD's fault that he grew up in better circumstances in TX's place. However, YD's ending is that
Spoiler

he gets beaten up by his biological father, his best friend chooses TX over him, and his family gives up on him. Additionally, although he is ill and needs professional medical attention, it seems that his family lets his (possibly abusive) biological dad force him to live in the countryside where that help may not be as readily accessible (which is one of the reasons why his biological mother swapped him at birth). YD hates his biological family, as well as his new environment.

[collapse]
I know that his actions played a part in his ending, but it pains me that his character is written that way and that his family and friends seem to have forgotten about him quickly. <<less

I accept the fact that the story between ML and MC is cute.

What I hated it how the author made Youn Doungle.

Tao Xi had hostility against him from the beginning as if it was his fault that they got exchanged.

... more>> Like why??? I can't understand this. After reading upto chapter 49, it was very clear that Youn Doungle will be made villain. Was it really necessary?

Then in the end, I read that he was probably beaten and brought back to his original place. Didnt his grandparents loved him for 16 years?

This kind of story is very annoying. <<less

This is just too touching! The writing style simply touches the heart

My heart clenches. My heart smiles. I'm so happy translator-sama decided to translate this and so quickly too!

I hope everyone can find their own moon for themselves!

Spoiler

Wonder if there'll be a sequel featuring Lele in the future.

The story was written beautifully. I can't get over how the author keeps using the moon as the symbol and it always reminds us about how the moon can be interpreted differently. I would also thank the translator for translating this beautiful story.

I have never written a review for a danmei on this site despite the countless amazing ones that I have read, but it would be terrible if I didn’t leave a review for this.

This was such a beautiful novel. The protagonist was such an interesting character. I was rooting for him since the very first chapter and nothing made me happier than seeing him get the life he deserves.

I highly recommend this novel to anyone who wants to read something sweet with tad bit of angst. This is the PERFECT... more>> read for that. <<less

This is actually good! I'm just in chapter 27 now! it's almost similar to a slow-witted novel but with a different plot and concept. I also find the MC here more fun than in Slow-witted.

However, maybe because I was influenced by other people's comments, which said the MC was like a white lotus... I couldn't help but think of it as well as the story progressed.

No, I mean, he's really pathetic. I feel like if I were the MC, I might have gone crazy from the start. but... how... more>> ML is so OP treats pampering MC secretly I guess too unaesthetic.

spoiler 27, don't read it if you don't like spoilers

Spoiler

then, in this chapter, MC and ML intend to have dinner together, MC considers it a date. but ML couldn't come because Yang Doule (child who switched with mc) was sick. I think MC should give up (although I know he's hurt, but you can't fight over ML to leave sick people right?)

[collapse]

luckily MC met ML, but if he didn't meet ML, I think MC's life will not change and suffer always...

okay, actually I'm quite conflicted. below are spoilers, as well as some things I don't agree with in this novel.

Spoiler

first, if ML doesn't read MC's letter and doesn't like it, isn't MC live in the shadow of 'other's child'?

second, if MC is not switched, he lives with his rich family and grows up with ML, but MC will still like ML but will ML still like him too? (I don't think so, even if ML says it in the novel, I still have doubts, even the MC himself has doubts. You will know after much reading.)

Third, let's look at it from the point of view of Canon Fodder, Yang Doule. I actually read too many novels from canon fodder's point of view, and it made me feel sorry for Yang Doule. say, he did not ask his mother to change his fate to become a rich child. however, he had lived so comfortably, so, YD's hostile response to the MC seemed human. I mean, who doesn't want to live comfortably? YD must have thought that after his fake family found out that MC was their real son, YD was afraid that he would be forgotten and thrown away.

Fifth, in the end ML's mother did not make amends to ML at all.

[collapse]

but fortunately the author still has brains, making some 'what if' things are immediately knocked down.

No, don't take my complaint seriously, I just feel sorry for MC and Canon Fodder. it was all the fault of adults, even if they corrected it, they still couldn't change their past fate. everyone can not be hated, they have their own reasons.

but luckily, ML gives MC whatever he wants. you should read it, it really makes you scream with joy, really!

btw, sorry for my bad english! <<less

I rarely write review. I cried while reading it. The injustices he feels from the childhood was unbelievable. The author portray MC as someone who always endure his hardship on his own but want to be expressive with ML even though he is not good with that. What I really don't like about that woman, she said didn't have anything to give to her son so she switch MC with her son, but could she at least treat him well after her selfish choice. She didn't feel sorry until, they... more>> caught her
Spoiler

then because the guiltiness she jump off the building, well she had already had illness which need kidney transplant

ML

Spoiler

At first he was very indifference toward MC. But he protect MC pretty well later on, like to tease MC from time to time.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE SIGN TO READ THIS AMONG THE REVIEWS, THEN THIS IS IT!

First of, among the reviews saying that the MC and ML seems like only the character on the novel, that is true because the whole novel revolved around them. HOW? The side characters do not have much screen time nor feels 3D so yeah I feel like I should subtract my star because of it BUT THEN I changed my mind. Why? CUz it hits off all points of a possessive caring ML and an... more>> MC that is not a white lotus nor damsel in distress. <<less

This book was on my reading list for so long, and I'm so happy I've finally read it. It's a sweet, emotional and heartwarming story. I just loved everything about it ❤️ The relationship between the MC and ML is so sweet and with barely any misunderstanding, they both really care about each other. And I think that's what I liked the most about it, even though there was a lot going on around them, they were each other's shelter. The switch at birth story also unfolded pretty well but... more>> did not overshadow the romance. Very good pace too, I could not stop and put the book down. So happy about this reading, it's been a long time since I've felt this happy reading a book. <<less

You know an author is good when she or he can evoke feelings with just a few words. You empathize with the characters and are worried for them. And in this novel, the author did exactly that. This novel is so beautiful because of the emotions of the characters. The plot itself is pretty old; we have read many such stories, but the MC's feelings are so real. I felt everything that MC felt. My heart ached for him. Some may say that he is petty, proud, stubborn, and even... more>> a little bit manipulative. But he is just a teenager whose world was changed forever; his life was ruined; he was robbed; and he lost so many precious things. Other people in his position could have acted so much worse. But he didn't cling to what could have happened; instead, he just wanted to be with his moon. He achieved everything by himself. Sometimes he was even a little bit naive, despite everything he went through. And Ml, he seems so strong, but he too suffered because of unreliable adults. I really liked this novel; it is written so well. Characters are amazing. I would definitely recommend it to people who enjoy such stories. <<less

Well translated, nice story build up. The only down-side is that the main characters– especially the ML is way too unreal. I love the ending! Tao Xi best boy! Protect him at all cost!

No idea why this had such a flood of bad reviews??

this is not a face-slapping novel or a revenge one. It’s more about finding love and a person to call your family. Both MC and ML want to be loved and cherished and they finally finally find that with each other.

I like this novel. The MC is jealous and don't have any typical "revenge" goal, but it's quite realistic. The romance here comes earlier than I expected tho.

The first time I read this was last year? When it's still not completed, so I kinda stop reading it because it's unfinished yet. Then after the translation is completed, I read it from the start again. Although I know the scenes from the previous chapters, I can’t still stop myself from being drawn to it especially when it comes to Tao Xi’s internal struggle when he faced Yang Doule, Lin Qinhe and his real and fake family. I don’t want to put any spoilers here because whenever I do,... more>> I always get off track.

Now, I reread this for 5th time already and the feelings and emotions I had the first time I read this still remains, it's even stronger because I am also trying to chase my own moon right now and I also am struggling because of my family.

So I can say that this novel deserves recognition because I am a person who got bored of reading something immediately much worse rereading it more than once. <<less
