The Sick Villain Just Want to Live

Description

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

Zhu Tong was born in a wealthy family, but the pampered young master suffered from a serious cleanliness addiction, and there were so many things that even God can’t stand it, so he was given a sickness and even coughed three mouthfuls of blood.

The day before his death, he was inexplicably bound to a system.

The system told him that he was actually a cannon fodder villain in a danmei novel who humiliated the heartthrob protagonist and suffered the consequences. If he wanted to survive, he had to find the only one in the novel, the white moonlight, who was not attracted to the protagonist and get full favorability from him.

In order to find him, Zhu Tong changed schools.

The new school was located in a remote small county with eight-person dormitories, a canteen for big pot meals, and only one public toilet in a teaching building.

Zhu Tong: In order to survive, I will endure!

Shao Ming is the Study God of No.1 Middle School, a down-and-out young master who was abandoned by his family. He hates the pampered rich second generation the most.

As a result, Zhu Tong became his deskmate.

On the first day they met, Zhu Tong looked at him with dislike painted on his face.

Shao Ming snorted coldly in his heart: Heh, another young master who can’t take care of himself.

Later, because of his unintentional remark, Zhu Tong went to the cafeteria to eat. He was sent to the hospital for stomach bleeding that night.

Shao Ming: …

The delicate and fleshy young master Zhu was picked up by Shao Ming and brought home.

In order to complete his task, Zhu Tong washed his hands and made soup for the first time in his life. He planned to make breakfast for Shao Ming, but he got up late.

In the kitchen, Shao Ming was wearing a pair of casual shorts and was frying eggs in front of the stove. His good figure could be seen at a glance. Zhu Tong pushed the door in and was stunned for two seconds. Two streams of nosebleeds came out from under his nose.

Shao Ming: …

Zhu Tong wiped it away: “If I said that the nosebleed is due to my illness, will you believe me?”

Shao Ming approached him step by step, and pressed him against the door frame: “I don’t believe your words.”

Black-bellied, narcissistic, shameless, Study God gong x weak and calm young master shou.

Cute and well written sickly MC X slightly two faced ML.

MC: sick since young and because of that has a cleanliness obsession. Not your typical young master type like the summary says. Actually wants to experience life but never had a chance to, is squeamish out of habit and circumstances.

ML: appears somewhat amiable but keeps everything very close to his heart. Rough past but isn't a bad person.

Romance: super cute. Avoids the pit of the system driving the romance. While ML is key to keeping MC alive, I never felt... more>> he was trying to take advantage. I like how the favouribility system was used in both showing how ML viewed people and a way for MC to understand ML later on once they're together. It's a reason but only one part of the whole.

ML pampers and takes care of MC before and after they're together. MC is shy but still proactive in his own way.

Plot: romance and system driven with little pockets to better understand MC and ML past. The system and other system plot elements (protag halo) is actually explained.

Side characters: not super deep but not too paper thin. Some characters like MC's sister and grandpa were more interesting than the classmate bunch. There's a side CP but only really in the epilogue.

Villain: several small villains but they're all pretty one-note.

Spoiler

Xia Yang or the 'protagonist heartthrob' was kind of interesting at the end when everything was revealed but boring otherwise

3.5. Mediocre plot, but very cute romance. 2d side characters with only a couple exceptions, but solid wholesome leads. Homosexuality as a generally accepted thing by everyone and people don't bat an eye, nice. The systems and rich bit*h politics drag down this novel and is not written engagingly at all aka boring. The biggest villains are bad dads and some other guy, nothing deeply written or innovative. I don't hate face slapping but idk just not into it here; doesn't feel like anything. Read this only for the romance.

So much better than the summary could even explain.

I'm Absolutely LOVING the characteristics of our MC and ML and their friends/good people around them.

The way they defend/fight against bad people with their words and Ability. The way MC tried to help ML while ML loving the care even though he's also Capable.

... more>> Also love the relationship between our MC and ML. Love how MC feels comfortable around ML, and ML also being Doting and Super Caring, Responsible and Protective. They're soooo Cuuute!!!

The story flows is really nice so far. I wonder how MC and ML defeat the real Annoying Villain that still lasting for so long... Hmmm

Also ML's background still somewhat mystery.

I pray so hard the rest of the story is as Good and Satisfying till the end! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Update at 4 July 2024:

In the last few chapters near the end of the main text there's suddenly more mystery!! #cryincliffhanger 😭

But the relationship between MC and ML develop SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!! And MC's grandpa is Sooo Gooooood!!!

Spoiler

Also unexpected but absolutely excited when MC able to tell ML about the system in the middle of the story, and then to his grandpa near the end of the story.

Rare AF but Important!!!

It's a good thing I gave it a chance. I read a review here after scrolling that made me lower my expectations for this but thanks to that it was as immersive as it can be because the story is good! It was surely an easy read and what I really like about it is that the system is almost non-existent BUT was also part of the core of the story.

The gradual development of both MC and ML is so natural, albeit, some might feel uncomfortable with how Shao Ming... more>> takes advantage of our Tongtong but real life principles aside, I can totally understand Zhu Tong's dependence for Shao Ming. I do feel that Xia Weiyi's existence in the book is overshadowed a little. He didn't have enough screen time in what could've been his role in the novel. That part was a bit underwhelming for me.

SHAO MING'S REAL IDENTITY THOUGH! THAT WAS SUCH A SURPRISING TWIST! Totally didn't see that coming. <<less

No matter what anyone said, to me, Shao Ming made me feel very scared. He slowly used verbal traps to make Zhu Dong do what he wanted. Although it wasn't very clear, it was so frequent that it made me very uncomfortable when reading it. It's a good story if you read it. It's totally worth it, I assure you. But if you're as sensitive to mind control as I am, reading this would be like swimming in honey. It's sweet and very useful, but it's too chewy.

agree to one if the reviews:

But the relationship between MC and ML develop SOOOOOO GOOOOD!!! And MC's grandpa is Sooo Gooooood!!!

leaving a mark here to read in the future to finish. MC despite his weak body at the start is headstrong and has his own ideals/method of fighting. ML was gradually falling inlove with our cute MC who is very straightforward... more>> ehe. They fit each other especially they support each other when 1 needs it. There's a side couple but it will be more on side story. <<less

Very cute love story. Much longer than similar classmate romance ones like the Tmall Genie or I'll have my deskmate beat you, which allows for more plot development and more dog food. The MC and ML take a while to get together, largely due to the MC's ignorance of emotions, and later on he keeps being shy but does improve in his proactiveness. Would have been a favorite if the villains weren't all c*ckroaches and so annoying. Love the MC and ML though. Shockingly readable MTL.

Very sweet and fluffy. Something you can turn your brain off to plus a lot of dog food with smooth romance development.

There is a surprising amount of plot for this type of story which is still not that much but I’ll take it.

Every “conflict” gets tied up in a neat little bow which means everything will get kinda explained. So no huge plot holes I noticed but I don’t really pay attention to that anyway so take that with a grain of salt.

If you’re looking for a sweet high school... more>> romance then this is definitely for you. There is a traumatic past for the ML but it gets glossed over pretty heavily (like one or two sentences) so if that is concern of you don’t worry! Just go read it!

I MTLd it and was very readable. <<less

This story could be said to be relatively light, but nevertheless this story is very good and fun to read.

The villain in this story itself is a brain-dead type, and actually isn't highlighted too much because the story itself focuses more on establishing the character of MC and his relationship with ML.

The bonus chapter itself is actually a bit unexpected ... more>>
Spoiler

The bonus chapter tells about the side couple relationship, which is actually only added at the end of the story, and doesn't even have any plot connection at all with the main couple

[collapse]

So yeah, I actually doesn't really like the bonus chapter + I'm not sure whether they really need to be in the story and whether it's necessary for them to get quite a lot of bonus/side stories.

In my opinion, there are still more characters who are more deserving of the bonus chapter than them, such as MC's twin sister or ML's mother (whether the biological one or not), a bonus chapter about MC's actual classmates might also be more interesting. <<less

Oh, I'm definitely liking this one. Although I won't go through the pain of MTLing. XD

Putting review just for bookmarking. 5/5 if you just want to pass time and basicall, it's for not using your non-existent brain cells.

Spoiler

I'm glad that they were able to fix them all and Tongtong was even honest to Shao Ming about everything, including the system. I also love that Tongtong turned out to be the real MC. I've read about that kind of scenario but I didn't expect it to happen in here. I also very much didn't expect that Shao Ming and Xia Yang were step siblings.

[collapse]

There's really something about highschool danmeis. They always catch my attention, especially the ones with systems. I won't ever get tired of this kind of plot. Maybe it's just me sulking at the fact that I still haven't experienced highschool love lol.

Edit :
Spoiler

I was weirded out by the side pair for the first few parts of their chapter. I actually think that it's good that they distanced their selves from each other for a while before finally getting together once they're both ready. Poor baby though, he definitely didn't deserve getting accused of sleeping for a position. The translator was correct when they said that the people were cocoo for blaming the minor instead of the adult.

The pacing is a bit torturous. When the plot is moving, the story is very interesting. There's just too much slice of life fluff in between. Chapters and chapters of them shyly dancing around each other and flirting but then actual enaging plot points are concluded in a chapter. It has taken me 23 days to get through 83 chapters because I keep losing interest. I might just drop at this point.

It's good! I just don't think it was completely for me. I came in expecting tropes (like other rebirth/cannon fodder novels) but this novel has it's own ideas.

I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first, to be honest this novel is.. It's unique but a little off-putting to me. Not in an unpleasant way, I think it's great and I thoroughly enjoyed it around the middle-part of the novel. It's just that it feels very fresh and new, but I wasn't interested in it enough to keep reading... more>> at first (ch1-30?) and also felt like there's no trope I could feel secure enough to fall back on? It's very novel, and I enjoyed that. But if I hadn't had the time nor motivation to keep on reading I think I would've dropped it early and think it's an alright novel. I don't think I can do this book justice, but I hope someone out there will appreciate it well/think of it as the best. I'm glad I did carry on, I enjoyed the CP dynamic and I feel like this novel gave me an experience that I'll remember weeks from now. It feels like first snow, although it's a little uncomfortable and cold, it's beautiful and there's something mesmerizing and touching about it.

I don't know whether I'll recommend this novel or not, but if you can stand/like the CP dynamic, I think you'd like the novel. That's all. <<less

This is a gem. A gem I say. When you're reading it's like a mine cave, the more you dig (read) the more you see treasure (twists). Though some of the situations are expected but some events are shocking and frustrating. I was bewildered after I finished the mtl cause our little sick villain is also doing a hidden mission unexpectedly.

Alright, read it folks it's good. I can't say if some situation are cringe cause there are different level of it in every individual but the novel makes me feel... more>> calm and was still immersed. <<less

Came here immediately after reading the MTL version of the novel. ^^ First off, this is a really good story. Everything is well-written, right from the beginning and as the plot builds up in the middle, then to the ending and the revelation of the truth about the MC's system. The humor in it is good, and the romance between the Zhu Tong and Shao Ming is just— they're so sweet, that it felt like I'm going to get diabetes 😂😂

Overall, it's a pretty good novel. Worthy of a 5-star rating... more>> from me! ☺️ <<less

I generally avoid high school settings at all costs, but the 5 star reviews tempted me to try this novel. And, I was pleasantly surprised. Mainly because the characters have had to mature beyond their years due to circumstances beyond their control. At times, I even forgot they were teenagers.

The MC and ML are likable and not at all the usual one extremely cold + one weak in every way (though there is some illness involved). And the side characters help the story move along as well.

Thanks to the author... more>> as well as Maeleaf at KnoxT for the translation. <<less

4.5 I guess I can finally call myself expert, my prediction for background for system and world is surprisingly inline with author hahahaha, they make it solid and logical, indeed it had our cliche element about extremely rich people.. extremely talented person, the focus is just mc-ml- and the side cp so it not bother that much (if u don't like that element), u can feel each cp is having deep consideration for their half (and this is our source of sweet). the villain is paper tiger, no he actually... more>> so weak.... his purpose just for plot only lmao.. oh I also quite like side cp, having melancholy spice for this kind of bright story is ok.. after all they had HE, also the steam.. although not explicit, the tease is ok.. and they do mention before after driving (manual or not) it also give me lesson that sho ai is still can had under neck spice <<less

A nice and enjoyable read. The MC and ML are really sweet together, they go through troubles related to the “protagonist shou” but they resolve the issues without too much trouble. The MC is introverted and prickly to others but is completely different when it comes to the ML. The ML takes really good care of the MC. The side CP in the extras is good too. Worth reading.

4.6. Loved this MC, Zhu tong! He's very sickly but he doesn't take sh*t lying down, and will fight back with sharp words. A very satisfying read with mainly fluffy school life romance with dog blood undertones. The ML Shao Ming has a tragic backstory, with an abusive stepfather and a manipulative father. Relationships wise, ML is very doting on MC, and MC also empathises and does what he can to help out ml. I think the unique pat about this novel were the characters around MC (grandpa and ml),... more>> guessing the existence of a higher power, that gave MC the knowledge of certain plot points and allowed him to improve his self, and towards the end, MC was also able to reveal the truth to them. I also loved how Xia yang got his rightful karma and fell from grace. There's only one thing I don't like, which is the relationship between Cheng Chen and Lu Zheyu, I'm sorry but the age difference at their time of meeting is abit too much for me to stomach, paired with the power imbalance and hints of g*ooming... yeah morally grey. <<less
