Transmigrating Into The Heartthrob’s Cannon Fodder Childhood Friend

Description

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

The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him.

After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them.

While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”.

Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline.

As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated.

He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend.

Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend!

Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected.

After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past.

Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time.

Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand.

Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?”

Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.”

I only like you.

I love it, the story is amazing. The characters are lovable and some are rightfully hated. The development of the story is brilliant, this is definitely going in my top 3's.

Well, how should I say about this. Do read if you want to read a highschool life/light heart/ young love (the set character are just 15-16 years old) interesting plot it seems like it was a dogblood drama plot but author didn't plan to stay on that category. Although the ML kind of transparence but well I'm fine digging MC perspective of things. The key plot point will reveal in the very later part of story so you have to have a little patient.

The way system and scum lord god can manipulate the world is scary. Is this how the systems in other story work? They benefit from the character by manipulate the fate of the true protagonist of the world (QwQ)

[collapse]

Focus on the present is the message I got from this story, sure that the past are significant but all of it doesn't as important as of what they are/feel at the very moment. <<less

Please excuse me while I go and scream. Omg.

That was so cute. I have no complaints whatesoever. The translation was clear and neat. The transmigrator x reincarnater is a really interesting concept to me (as this is the first novel I've encountered with this sort of plot). The characters are unique, and really interesting!! I love the interactions the characters will have on the forum, but I especially love the cute relationship between the two leads. ML was wary about MC at first, but now he very obviously has a... more>> giant soft spot for him.

In all I want to give this like 10/5 stars. It's amazing, please give it a try! <<less

The beginning was the best part of the book imo. I liked the CP dynamics, and the banter between MC and his friends was fun to read as well. The CP was certainly more on the cute side. The plot twist halfway through was great too.
Spoiler

I'm so heavily dependent on the Novel Plot that the fact it was unreliable was a huge shock to me lol. But at the last arc was a bit muddled

[collapse]

My only qualm is that it was too much emphasis on youth romance? Like I get it its supposed to have the refreshing teen summer love vibes but the entire thing, especially the ending was a overkill for me. The ending itself was a bit anticlimatic and it sorta ruined the build up for me but all in all the story was ok and the CP is cute. If you like banter and a super pure MC then give it a try.

This novel is an enjoyable read. All the characters including the MC and ML are well written, making them feel realistic, with each of them having their own goals and facing their own struggles.

Our MC, Song Yu, has a warm, bright personality while the ML, Xie Sui, has a somewhat colder, more quiet personality, which makes for a nice contrast between the two. I'd like to point out that the author handled Xie Sui's personality well, because his aloofness is well-justified due to his experiences, yet it didn't make him... more>> unfeeling and heartless, unlike many danmeis out there.

This novel is very hard to resist from MTLing, as it makes you want to know what happens next. I liked the plot twist at the end, but felt like the way it was resolved was too handwavy and a bit abrupt. What could have been better was to insert the twist earlier, and have the characters resolve it through the last plot arc. <<less

Once again, XIIN chooses a great novel. I was curious and MTLed a few dozen chapters and I gotta say, I'm liking the story.

There are times when the MC helps out the ML, and times when it's the other way around.

The ML starts off very wary of the MC, thinking it's someone trying to take advantage of him again. The fact that he's reborn means that he doesn't really need help and he's perfectly capable of taking care of himself, but he slowly comes to appreciate the ways the MC... more>> helps him out, especially when it's something as petty as review-bombing the restaurant of someone who bullied the ML.

I think it's really sweet how the MC tries to help the ML, and the way his antics slowly makes the ML come out of his shell and start to trust others again. We even get a few smiles and then slowly some laughs as the ML begins to appreciate the MC more.

Anyway, so far it's really good. I haven't finished the story yet so I don't know if the ending does this justice, but I'm very happy with the first two dozen chapters of this story. I highly recommend it. <<less

It's definitely off to a great start. The MC is logical, determined and has his heart in the right place. I'm looking forward to how he will change the fate of the poor ML (even I feel like throttling those scum gongs). It'll be interesting to see what kind of person the ML will grow to be under different condition now that he has an active support in his life.

Definitely recommended!

Nothing really wrong with the novel. It's a fun plot. It's just a little boring, to the point I found myself counting the chapters until the title for the next plot point I wanted. Idk it's not like the chapters in between weren't fun but hmm.

Xiin’s translations was wonderful (as always), I MTLd the last few chapters and they were understandable. The novel started strong and was very enjoyable at first, then it went downhill

Spoiler

This was a very convoluted story, in the latter part of the novel the system (who had an agenda) left the MC and went into a villain who was supposedly the MLs “destined lover”, but was the MLs love rival instead

There was a big bad villain who was behind the transmigration, rebirth, and the flakey system, but he was defeated in a chapter so it was anticlimactic

[collapse]

Three stars for plot and one star for XIIN. I don’t like recommending unfinished translations, so no opinion there <<less

It was entertaining, but that's about it. The MC took a loooong time to realize his feelings for ML (around Ch 80ish) but at that point, the real plot interrupted the slice of life so the romance was a bit rushed. You don't get to see them together much since the focus of the story shifts to making sense of the transmigration plot and arriving at the ending.

I liked how the main CP was a power couple where both parties were competent and could take care of themselves, but I... more>> didn't get especially attached to anyone. <<less

My rating: ☆☆☆ = 3 stars, great novel, ending somewhat lacking and the humor not quite my cup of tea.

my husband brother Yu x gently smiling ML with cold eyes

My summary:

Spoiler

MC transmigrated into a side character in a novel, he found the plot infuriating and the ML pitifull, so he decided to help ML avoid and kick thos scume that tormented the ML so much.

After MC woke up in the hospital and was confirmed healthy enough to leave (he is terminal ill with an unknown illnes, but MC doesn't feel the slightest bit sick and assumes that the illness was just imaginary creation for the novel plot with no actual effect) he was sent home and met the originals family who is very busy. He decided to use the excuse of knowing no one in A-City because of his long coma visit his grandmother and stay there to attend school there and get close to ML. MC intentionally, accidentally met ML when he encountered gangsters and called the police. In school MC prevented him from sitting next to the school bully who was intrested in messing with ML, when he didn't stop MC beat him up and took hiw school bully reputation. MC in his last live had marital arts training. And when MC was challenged by a group of students of the same school who wanted the title of school bully, he won and declared that he wasn't only a school bully but also a study god. Reason being his father had called him, they goight and made an unrefusable agreement of him (MC) having to get into the top 100 in the next test or else he had to return to A-City. If MC however achieved it he could stay and would recieve a one million worth watch for ML. Afterwards the school principal turned up and punished all who went to the roof to fight but MC got away running to get to ML (he knew ML was in trouble because of the plot and a text message by that scum?) who was called out by that scum + his group of followers (who wanted to r*pe or undress ML and make a video) but ML beat them up befor MC arrived. That scum also wanted to interfere with ML's announcement speech using his connection to replace him, but because MC has more powerful connections than him his plan failed.

MC also threatened/made some s*upid students who wrote disgusting words with gravity about ML's mother remove them.

MC is also an awsome online troll, who calls himself Your husband brother Yu. Many girls fell for his scum lines and became avid fans.

Truth or dare were they had to confess to the other or kiss? I don't know anymore.

They wet to an internet cafe and someone borrowed MC and ML couple accounts, a healer and a combat account (the names were cute and funny). When a student told a ghost story about the cafe and the lights suddenly turned of. ML ACCIDENTALLY kissed MC. Ahhhhh!

Sport festival, MC had to do the sprint and ML stood at the finishing line catching him. ML slowly guessed and investigated MC's past and analysing his present behaviour getting close to the truth. ML also occasionally teases MC with ambiguous sentences.

MC and ML get along super well~

Flashbacks: MC recently dreams more of the 'originals past'. Adult MC, take notice of a childhood acquaintance/friend = ML having a difficult time, because his family (who ML was head of for a few years and led the company to climb up high) tuned their backs on him and are trying to crush him and also two guys are crazily pursuing him after he turned them down (ML's in the novel MC read in the real world). He contacts ML after some thought, but ML was rather cold and silent, until ML asked him to step into his appartment and was suddenly surprise cabadeed against the wall and kissed! [Excerpt: He kissed briefly across his lips, tongue probing domineeringly into his mouth, hooking around his own tongue and teasing him skillfully.]

Afterwards MC was angry, ML placated by showing loneliness and so this awkward friendship lasted. MC didn't know why he kept this up, but couldn't ignore ML (who was at an all time low) and kept visiting that jobless and stay home guy. Until on day ML languidly asked him for a home since he couldn't pay his rent anymore. MC was confused about his feelings for his childhood friend. Pscho pursuer guy turns up and was fed dog food =a kiss initiated by MC, later tries to explain it was just an act of playing lovers and ML languidly asked if they haven't been lovers since the start!! Ahhhhh such a flirt! I just cant! Ahhh and this confused, blushing, awkward adult MC is also so cute!

Back to reality: ML is aware of his pst life.

MC's class was preparing fo a theatre act in the auditorium with MC being the director. After the performance he gets tricked and gets locked up in there on a cold Friday evening. He gets sick and discovers (through talking with the system) :

So there was the plot of <Gentle Control> in which Xie Sui was supposed to end up with Zhao ZiYu/called scum 3, and then in reality it couldn't happen because Xie Sui fell in love with Song Yu and shot Zhao ZiYu. Then, in this life 008 was put into Song Yu's body and sent Song Yu's soul into another world, but then his soul came back?

In the end ML returns to his family in city A and watches how his "family" tear each other apart. MC and ML confess to having memories of a past life + MC reveals the system, the "main god" and the OG plot of "Gentle Control ". After some drama we and MC find out:

Turns out the "main god" is some random dude who found the technology of a higher lost civilization and used it to steal luck from people in different worlds by garnering love and hate points. He puts many obstacles and tribulations in peoples lives so they can be more miserable. He/The systems create/s and follow/s a guideline like a novel with dog blood story (Gentle Control). They (MC and ML) overpowere the system and god with their stronger soul force?. They hastily reveal their relationship to MC's family and than they finish highschool and go to university.

END

Apparently I haven't review this novel even though I had read this since... 2022 (I think) 🤔 or was it 2021.

Anyway this is a Great novel. And has good Ending. But I would say it lack of Extra.

Okay, the ending itself I would say feel a bit rushed. This is one kind of Novel that did Amazing Job at the Plot for 90% and 100% at the Fluff/Love Story of our CP. But for the Plot, there's 10% that make it not so perfect.

It's Far from Bad. I like the... more>> idea of apparently the Real Villain was...
Spoiler

Not some Higher Being. Aka it's not a Lord God kind of thing. More about a Fake who tried to be a God but failed when he meet Xie Sui.

And the System being the Subordinate of the Villain but without being Evil itself nor being good either.

[collapse]

It's Interesting and I really do wish it explored a little bit more. Just a little bit... But sadly it already finished.

I never thought I would have complain when I read this novel in the beginning... But apparently I did even thought just a bit. Sorry.

Overall it's still Great Novel and Has Lovable Characters and Lovable Relationship. It's still such a Dear Novel for me and I'm ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVING IT still and Forever! <<less

I've only made it to chapter 17, but I'm already wanting to crack the author's skull open and see if they replaced their brain with cow manure. However, it's not just this author, it seems to be a trend. Why do so many writers take a fully adult character, have them transmigrate or be reborn back into a teenager, and then have that teenager act like a spoiled, obnoxiously bratty pre-teen, instead of the adult they are supposed to mentally be? What's the point of the person having 'originally been... more>> an adult'? Just make them what you write them as. Also, what kind of worthless 'adult' would consider cyberbullying and trolling 'cool' and 'relaxing' behaviors? Even more so, why would any writer wish to make someone like that their main character? I may update this review if I manage to continue reading, but... I'm already struggling to find this story worth the time. The translator did a great job, but the author has some serious problems. <<less

It started so strong, the characters were funny, felt realistic, and had real personalities. Certain key details made it feel like they were full of youth. Not sure if it was due to the many switches of translations but also the plot fell off at the end.
Spoiler

We were expected to meet these 3 grandiose villains who joined hands, which never happened.

[collapse]
That subplot gets abandoned for other stuff and we get some semblance of a happy ending? Had it kept up the strength of the beginning, this would've been a really superb novel.

I love this novel sm, it makes me sad that I've finished it already because I remember I've been waiting for years for it to get updated. It was picked up by many authors and dropped many times but I still waited for it to upload. It's a beautiful fluffy and sweet story. Trust me guys you need to give this a try. It's my 2nd fav bl novel and ima reread it many time until I have the whole story memorized by heart! I kinda wish tho that there... more>> were more chapters. I feel like it ended kinda quickly. I wished that there were more chapters of showing the MC and ml's love life but whatsoever it's still a 10/10 novel! Give it a try guys you won't regret it. <<less

This novel unfortunately falls short in keeping the reader's attention. The pacing is quite slow, making it a tedious read after a few dozen chapters.

The characters in this novel come across as surprisingly immature (especially considering both MC and ML are supposed to be adults). Their actions and decisions lack maturity and depth, making it difficult to connect or sympathize with them. Additionally, the plot feels underdeveloped, leaving the story feeling underbaked and lacking depth.

Overall, I found it to be a regrettably lackluster read that I would not recommend to... more>> others seeking an engaging and captivating novel. <<less

It's very nice. It's definitely just what I need to read after reading deep, life-changing, angsty novels.

It hits different when you read a highschool bl novel where there aren't huge and wide story building, complicated and perfectly built characters, and a plot that'll hurt your brain.

To anyone who's new to this novel, I recommend reading this just after reading some deep, well-made novels that will make you cry. It feels like having a vacation after loads of work.

To the people who said that this novel's plot is boring, I think... more>> it's probably because y'all have gotten used to novels that are very well-made. I won't disagree with you though, because this novel is quite normal. If I didn't read an eye-tearing novel before this one, I would have abandoned it and labeled it as boring.

I have to be honest, the end feels lacking though. I read an mtl of this novel to reach the end of it because the ones in this site aren't getting updates for a long time.
Spoiler

I am absolutely uncomfortable with how the Qin gong is still out there, wandering. I hope they finished him off. And as for the gong who I forgot his name but has a Z in his first and last name, I hope the author let him keep his memories. Such a waste of potential for him to go back to being mean-hearted, even if it's just a bit. There's a chance of him obsessing over Xie Sui if he doesn't have his past memories you know.

[collapse]

I suggest going back to read this whenever you feel down so that it can cheer you up! :) It never failed to make me laugh due to the comedy at squeal due to the romance. It's currently my favorite novel in Modern Highschool Transmigations Genre. <<less

I think it will be one of my all time favorites

Fluffy, cute, lovely & comedy school novel.

I really like MC who tries to protect the ML with his cute, honest & protective actions.

I also liked the ML who is possessive but not angst

Romance is slower but MC & ML interactions from the beginning are always good.

The classmates are very nice and make you laugh
