In the interstellar world of the Osphia Empire, Zhuo Yang, a rare guide, became the husband of the disabled sentinel crown prince, Prince Moodys Bricania, after his younger half-brother escaped from their arranged marriage to elope with Zhuo Yang’s marriage partner.

Moodys was once the most coveted companion for all guides in the empire, and he was voted nationally by the people of Osphia as the future monarch who could bring hope to the people. In the eyes of tens of thousands of fans and supporters, there is simply no guide in the world who can be worthy of their royal prince.

Moodys Bricania was unexpectedly ambushed, he exhausted his mental power, his legs were crippled, and his face was attacked by Zerg venom leaving extremely disgusting scars after healing…

However, there was one thing no one expected, Zhuo Yang was sincerely looking forward to his wedding day.

Loved the MC and ML's characters... ML is just a little cúter...

Story is no brainer despite it having "mistery" which I didnt like much, but over all is enjoyable, well written and really enterteining.

Would give more stars but somehow I really didnt find funny the superficial jokes about ML at the end and well it was like a really weird and rushed end of things.

It's fine. Not like amazing and captivating for me, not too exciting. But it is an easy read if you want a book to keep you company for a few days.

However, I really feel like this book is anti-ace. There is a character that is it is revealed they simply lack desire. Idk genetically or whatever reason given. They don't like touching people.
Spoiler

They have a customer aphrodisiac so they can safely have s*x with with partner.

[collapse]
And like all that is fine, folks come in all different ways and make all different decisions.

What I don't like is that the scene where this is revealed it feels like there is a lack of consent from the Ace partner and I am very uncomfortable with that.

So lower star rating for that.

4.5/5*

Entertaining story!

Liked the scheming and smart nature of MC and his devotion to ML. Their love feels very real. Maybe because both had experienced a lot and they were eachothers saviors.

... more>> MC is a bit too OP. Therefore I like the other story of this author more (After I got Married etc). Both have same premise, but personalities of main characters are totally different.

Cannon fodder villains are too dumb so face slapping is less satisfying.

There is a plot twist in the end which was good. Its regarding the real villain in this story. <<less

It may not be perfect, but it's still Absolutely Wonderful Novel and Pretty Satisfying one!

It's not my first time reading Danmei with Yandere Shou. But it's rare and actually my First Time reading MC Yandere Shou! When you think about it, a Protagonist being a Yandere is rather rare even if they're Gong or a Girl. But this MC is a Softcore Yandere. And he's a Lovable character!

This novel also rare in a way where the ML is not a Handsome man like many Danmei like... more>> to show.
Spoiler

The scar sure make him look scary, but after he was healed, his look was just Average.

[collapse]
The Super Good Looking one is MC!

Both MC and ML are Smart, but they're NOT OP.

This novel also has rather well written Boss Villain. A Madman but also well calculating smart one. And Absolutely Psychopath!

Has Great Faceslappings and Very Sweet Fluffs! It also has Intense moments. But I Love the Satisfying Conclusion and Ending!

I'm Truly Enjoy and Loving this Novel!!! Absolutely Loving it!!! <<less

This one was very immature even among juvenile stories. Although I do like the dynamics between the main CP, the novel overall is still so cringeworthy.

Is it going to wow you, probably not. It is a solid read, though.

The MC and ML and fall in love really quickly. The only part that dragged for me was the space between confession and the climax. It wasn't boring but very fluffy and it felt like every chapter could have been the last because you forget about about all the loose ends that were hinted at.

Other than that I couldn't not be bothered to follow any of the villains' plans, thoughts, or schemes. It was too complicated and... more>> I barely remembered the characters names so it was hard to follow lol. That's is a me issue not a writing issue.

Overall the story stayed interesting and was a nice space romance. <<less

I generally don't leave comments but I had to for this one.

Let me start by saying I love the MC and how his character is built in this novel. The confidence, intelligence, persistence and tenacity of the MC is really admirable. Also the plotline is good too. Maybe a little predictable, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

The beginning of the novel was fast paced and most conflicts were resolved very quickly. A lot of the focus, however, was on the netizen's reaction which honestly just felt like fillers to drag out... more>> the chapters. I wish the author had focused more on the people involved and their actions. But it was narrated in a few sentences and written off.

Which is also why the last one-third of the novel felt a little dragged. It became very predictable and the narration style writting wasn't engaging enough. It made me impatient and wanting to skip a couple of chapters but I pulled through.

I also wish the author focused more on the MC and ML's relationship and interactions. It was good in the start but once they confessed their feelings and had a physical relationship it seems like the author became lazy to further build them.

Also the redundant parts about how good looking the MC is becomes annoying after a certain point.

Overall I really like the premise of the story but I feel like it could have been written better than the verbal vomit that most of it was. <<less

The setting of this novel is good and it has so much potential yet I feel like the author only had wonderful ideas and didn't know how to execute it properly. This could've easily been one the most unique novels I've read but unfortunately it was bland, predictable and painfully slow to read.

The MC is my dear. I love how he was truthful and loyal to ML. I love it when there’s no misunderstanding or miscommunication from both ML and MC. Also, it’s a little relatable how people value ML because of his average look to the real society. I just love that MC cared nothing about ML’s appearance, and love ML dearly. I wish it would have some extra about the couple life. 4.6/5 ⭐️

It’s ok, the plot was predictable and the relationship development was a bit too quick and painless to keep me interested. Maybe I’ll finish this sometime, but unlikely.

This story has the makings of a great plot, with very simplistic writing. It's not even that the MC is truly OP, but he gets everything so easily. There is no intrigue at all.

  • Spoiler
    • He easily gets revenge against Zhuo family
    • He easily wins ml's affections
    • ML easily recovers secretly & easily recovers his political power
    • MC easily delves into political scene to help ml
    [collapse]
What if the Queen Mother was smarter & more insidious? What if she amassed her own political strength & colluded with corrupt officials to control crown prince?

What if the Zhuo patriarch was farsighted enough to keep mc's mother as a way to control him? What if he alone had the cure for mother's insanity?

There were so many good characters that could have been more complex & added more to the story.

A good short read, there’s a few info dumps here and their and some summarising but for a light story it wasn’t bad.

I particularly liked that in this cp the dynamic was more of the shou being the aggressive one in romance and intimacy and the gong wasn’t this super handsome male god type. The way they got along once they really “got together” was also refreshing, having both parties in the relationship being completely honest with each other without sugarcoating any bits of their less stellar personality traits is... more>> something rare even in fictional relationships (and I honestly doubt that it even exists in relationships in reality).

Spoiler

I’m kinda bummed that there wasn’t an epilogue of when their had grown up, I wanted to know how their daughter dealt with Moodys’ lamenting that she looked like him. (But I can also see that this could become ugly between siblings, with one looking calamitously beautiful while the other looks ordinary and not even in the cute category)

Won’t rate it cause I didn’t finish it. It is quite fun, especially the face slapping and Zhou Yang being such a queen 🫅, literally tho HAHAHAH im just quite satisfied with ending this here cause I think the theme of this is literally just face slapping. Their feelings are already developed and their marriage consummated HAHAHA its pretty fun read. To be honest I skipped quite a few chaps in he start cause it was information overload and there were already face slapping when I literally just started reading... more>> lol. Good tho!

ML is such a good guy, he matches with MC <<less

This story falls under the category of “comfort read” - it’s a fun plot of palace politics in an interstellar world where the MC succeeds in everything, and the MC and ML are a cute couple with no major misunderstandings. Nothing very upsetting or too sad.

The two things that make this novel stand out are

1) the MC is scheming and an Oscar-worthy actor while the ML is an honest and upright figure. Usually, the MC is the pure character and the ML is the one with more of an evil/bad... more>> streak.

2) the ML is NOT good looking! This was probably the best part of the story as you really don’t see this much. Most couples in BL stories are outstanding in looks.

The plot is 3-stars as it’s decent but not amazing. I would add a star just for the homely ML for a total of 4 stars. <<less

Like a previous reviewer, I hit about chapter 60 and I don’t think the author can sustain the fiction of the MC’s political acumen.

I like the MC. I like the story and didn’t mind the deus ex machina at all. Props to the author, who really hit the claustrophobia of an insular and rotten aristocracy.

But this is a tell and not show EQ/IQ that sort of devolved at times into petty face-slapping dialogue.

Unilaterally announcing an enormous change to an existing (and fundamental) societal belief... just wasn’t the move of a... more>> political mastermind with little support (outside of the popular ‘netizen’ approval ratings). Particularly if you are leaning on the less enfranchised persons to bear the cost of the change without any existing safeguards.

Spoiler

in this case, the MC wants the aristocratic Guides to give their services external to their partners - which in the society of this novel is akin to adultery. Adultery that is a big deal - in the society of this novel - to the extent that the MC’s stepmother is castigated for it.

[collapse]

Also, there is unexpected necrophilia, which I must have overlooked on the tags.

From reviews, it seems like this might be an earlier work of the author, so I’d be interested in seeing additional works. The translation was pretty good and the story overall (up to c60ish) was not bad, it just needed a little tightening up of the plot. <<less

I saw it had decent stars and gave it a shot, but the sue-ness is strong with this one and I'm giving up. I was hoping for a decent sentinel/guide story, but this ain't it.

If I had to hear them praise his beauty one more time I was about to throw my phone.

Go ahead if you're in the mood for a typical terrible family, power tripping, face slapping, Mary Sue sort of story, but don't expect much.

A good novel! Fun and light-hearted read, I understand why some reviews pointed out the similarities to the other novel (the set-up was suspiciously the same) but the characterizations of MC/ML and side characters are totally different (it's nice to see how the same beginning plot can be totally shifted when the character's personalities are so different). Felt like it could've ended at ch60, but after struggling a little to get the pacing back I did enjoy the ending and what eventually became of the storyline. (The storytelling technique is... more>> also a bit weak, but it's fine)

A light-hearted read, don't take it too seriously. There were some instances where the ideologies were so shoved down your throat + weird vibes that I was put off, but in the end, it was a nice read. Don't know if I'd recommend it, but it's a fine story to pass the time! <<less

Story is so-so. A good read to past the time. Rating is just Ok, maybe because I've read other novels with similar plot that is much better 😅

I did not like the MC that much. I just feel that he's too scheming and manipulative.
