ufufufu~

This seems very promising~! But you don't have to trust what I say, for my taste is messed up. Hyahaha!

Since my 2 star rating highly differs from the others I will try to explain... though I don't understand why ppl like this.

This writer does not invite you to their world to discover, no they force their brainless shot down your throat and want you to praise it for their taste.

The things that annoyed me most:

Let me start with that really anger inducing accident that happens to ML and stands for the "reason" why he distanced and ignored his little brother (MC). You will get hype on this accident from the start and it will be thrown in occasionally to "explain" things. you will not get an explanation about this accident until chapter 112. There is no mystery solving, just the assistant bringing in the"search results". Oh but from the start you get the suggestions that it happened a murder, responsible was a guy named "he bing" which is MCs father. Of course ML would never tell this to MC, which is absolutely clueless, because that would need communication...a word that the writer doesn't seem to know.

Here the spoiler about the accident, what happened and also the info about MCs parents.

Spoiler

First you need to know about MCs parents. His mother was an art student that met the 4th zouh brother and later got chased by him. When they were already engaged she found her fiancé with another man in bed. She left the scene and went to a Cafe where a man did try to get close and comfort her. With the first stop of coffee she got knocked out and when she wakes up she is in bed with the guy that she saw with her future husband in bed. Said future husband accused her of cheating with this man so that no one would belive her if she told them she saw the two men together. (Family would be against the 2 men) By the way she got pregnant. She still married zhou4 but ignored the child while zhou4 and He Bing have their romance. Then zouh4 gets sick and is going to die.. so he changes his will and gives all to baby MC, so that the birth father he bing will actually get his hands on the inheritance. While in hospital the family finds out that zhou4 is almost sterile and can not be baby MCs father... so they find out about he bing. He and zouh family are feuding, he bing kills himself. MCs mom sees her chance to live a life in riches and starts to attend to baby MC, and hooking him up with drugs... so the mother gets thrown out. Baby MC gets fostered out to zouh3 family which has also ML.

Baby MC is important to the zouh family cause they want the inheritance back and he is important to the He family cause they have no other heir in the main family.

So the accident...

The He family hired thugs to kidnap MC (7). They were able to enter cause of MLs mother which is only married for business to zouh3 and got a good deal for her help to the He family. But ML interfered and they kidnapped the wrong child. The thugs then demanded ransom for ML while also blackmailing He family for not telling about them being the contractor. He family then contracts another group of thugs to get rid of the first ones. One gang warfare later all of them died and In the middle of the battlefield is a traumatic ML that now has autism and asperger syndrome. He gets carried off to the mountains to get healed... which is basically brainwashing. So he does neither remember the accident nor that he has a didi.

On how this became a murder by he bing or how he was only distancing himself when they actually brainwashed the brother away.... some of the never explained writer brain holes.

About the syndromes and disorders... I don't know what to say... the writer labeled MC and ML how she liked and thought this would explain what ever she wanted. her way of healing was basically ignoring it and oh wonder they are healed. I'm really no stickler for accuracy. I can live with a made up illness or syndrome but please stick to it.... not like this. The writer used it to make ML miserable and then it went away when not needed anymore... so annoying.

The hyped chasing and candy..... at one point I wondered why I never read anything from the view of ML and why there are 20 to 50 chapters nothing happening...a rather long introducing. Then there was the authors note at the end of a chapter, totally going crazy about how the ML will change his ways and how crazy he will chase MC as soon he realizes this feelings and so on. So I kept reading only to understand that "chasing" in the writers view isn't even a blip on my radar. There was no chasing or being sweet. N o n e. The chasing was, that ML bought/ renovated a house in the city where MC went to study and had him live with him. No, there were no sweet daily interactions or cute little moments.

The writers inconsistencies... just to name one.... you will always read about MCs over the top ability to remember and learn things. He will be like a backup camera and on a game show even remembers small details which no one else remembers... even ML but at one point the writer starts that ML has a photographic memory and remembers easily while MC needs to write things down to remember?! No it was no typo.

Then there is that opposing zhou family that is always there and the reason for so much suppressing of MC and ML but you will never meet anyone of this family. There is zero interaction. The nearest miss is when ML brings MC to the grandfather's birthday party at the beginning but even there is no interaction with family. Think about it how hard it is to have no family interaction on a family event... yeah.... writer is "awesome".

For half of the novel I thought that through that "accident" MLs parents were killed because they never showed up but they are alive and just don't appear. N e v e r.

About those peach blossoms chasing the ML..... really? And again there is the concept of chasing that highly differs between mine and the writers. Those guys were mere blips. Appearing and disappearing. There really nothing happened. The chasing was simply that they confessed? Oh right.. the last one doesn't even confess... he wants him to marry his son. Funny that... writer made this comment that she was done with dogblood and from the next chapter on there would be only sweetness.. next chapter ML "got engaged" to another man while MC didn't know about it. Yeah... another "candy" by that writer.

All in all this story is riddled wit holes of the size of mount everest. I can happily live with some holes but all of this accumulated to a mess that simply stole my time.

The words were there but without feelings.

I really don't get the ppl rating this with 5 stars and wonder if they ever read a good novel. There are so much really good ones where you get immersed in the world's characters but I never had this feeling here.

Spare your time and hands off.

I really enjoyed reading this story, the ML may may come off as a typical cold rich ML but there is a reason why he is so cold, and over the time he warms up to MC an MC is n only exception for him .I especially love the character development of ML and MC, I really like his character. Its really hurtful and sad to see how lonely MC was even his own mother hates him (T-T) , he never got any love love from others so he simply has no common sense about happiness and in such situation ML was his only sun and thus he fell in love with him. It really gets you to see how desperaely MC tries to hide his feeling and burying any hopes of his unrequited love coming true, how happy he gets even by being with ML for a few minutes. His feelings are too pure and need to be protected. I really like the scene where they mutually get together. The love rivals are also not annoying and one who chases MC is very likable. My only comlain is that I wish there were more chapters of their sweet times together to compensate for all the suffering and torture MC went through.

So far the beginning is very enjoyable! The MC is lovable, hardworking and pure~

I'm rooting for him so he can be successful both professionally and romantically!

EDIT: So it looks like the novel is on hiatus so I MTLed the whole things. Overall, quite good! I would give it a 4.5/5 as there were definitely many parts of the novel that moved me. One part of the novel was really quite sad and you really feel for the MC. Please keep in mind that I MTLed the novel so I won't have a complete understanding of the novel due to this but I felt the novel was quite coherent and it made sense even through MTL.

To me, the story is ultimately about the MC and ML healing each other's mental wounds by mutually showing their love, dependence and caring for each other.

I really enjoyed reading this. It's a really nice novel in my opinion and yall should really try it out! It was really an emotional ride for me.

Anyways, some spoilers ahead!

Major spoilers from here on;

By reading these you'll probably know all the major points in the story so proceed at your risk (?) xD

Overall it was a really enjoyable read! Do check it out!

This novel really isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. If you're expecting this to be some kind of awesome face-slapping, drama filled story where the MC is OP to the max and is just instinctively good at acting, read another novel. You're going to be sorely disappointed.

The main focus here is on two emotionally stunted people who are slowly recovering from their trauma. The MC has been neglected from birth, unwanted by his family and ignored by his caretakers. The ML, his "brother", is the only person who has ever showed him any kindness so the MC wants to follow in his footsteps and become a celebrity so that they can be near each other.

I honestly liked that the author showed how bad the MC was at acting when he started, because that's just realistic. He's bad at dealing with emotions so obviously it would be hard for him to act those emotions, but he learns and grows as time passes. Again, he's not some genius actor, but that is much more enjoyable for me to read - there are like 100s of other novels out there where the main character can step into just about any role and perform it perfectly. I want to read about some struggle and hardship, and that's what I got here.

Also, I loved the overall theme of the MC going from living for the sake of the ML to living for himself. It was really heartwarming to catch all those little bits of growth, where the MC who doesn't think he can be loved lets himself be loved by others. (Don't let that cute cover fool you - this novel is filled with KNIVES and sadness.)

That's not to say the novel was perfect. Yes, there were some plot holes, some stuff that was glossed over. I really didn't like how the author dealt with the ML's "mental illness" -

Spoiler

But overall, I enjoyed the novel. Just make sure that you know what to expect going into this - as previously mentioned, it's not some action packed fast paced story. It's a slow, introspective novel where we see into the MC's thoughts as he reunites with the "light" of his life and how their relationship grows.

This novel to me was a 4.0/5.0 stars, but I boosted it to a 4.5/5.0 stars because I think the rating should be higher.

this was cute and the author was brave enough to tackle something like metal illness which is still looked down upon by many Asian countries where the person is blamed instead of the disease. I really feel for both the MC and ML. The two complement each other and help make up for one another's weak points.

warning though; both the MC and ML are really dense when it comes to love but there are good reasons for it (both are smart outside of emotional stuff). Despite the dark stuff that happens in the background and in the past, this is mostly a "first love" story and there's not much more than hugging and some kisses and some fluffy cute moments.

I don't really mind reading it when I'm super bored, but the MC has the personality of a doormat so far so it's hard to get into without cringing. The parts about his talents are interesting, but otherwise reading about a shy, possibly depressed character with extremely low self-esteem is a tad boring. I want to skip ahead (but I don't like skipping ahead :C).

I do like that he volunteers himself for skill based stuff in order to shine, and that his personality is a result of his background... but hmm. It's just hard for me to see why the ML would like MC, outside of involving himself due to guilt and his own personal affairs.

~~Maybe I just don't like reading about shy, introverted people like myself, but I can see how people would like it--~~

I decided to go ahead and write a "reader's review" at only five chapters so it might encourage others to give it a try. I love to read with no particular genre preference so as long as I enjoy it, I will read it! Of course, if I enjoy it due to my personality, I want to tell others about it. Sooooo - this technically can not be considered a review so don't poke fun at how shallow my comments are - its only at five chapters! However, the translation is slow (not complaining) so people may skip over it thinking of waiting to see if the translator will continue. I am thinking that I want others to notice it so the translator WILL continue!

It is fun to read with great character development so far and even some "intrigue" introduced with chapter five. I give it a "thumbs up" and think its worth following!

4.5/5 A mostly smooth-sailing, slightly angsty novel of emotional dependence, misunderstandings, missed opportunities, reunion and healing. MC and ML both have complicated family backgrounds, although this is initially more obvious only on MC's side. MC and ML used to be brother in name (not blood related) but MC has long been disowned. MC's internal emotional dependence on ML is strong, but this is not the sense that cause him to cling, but rather a desire for any show of affection from anyone but especially from ML. As a character, he's hardworking, cute, and very lovable confused baby. Minor misunderstandings and coupled with ML's emotional issues, it caused some angsty and touching scenes. Overall, not the most emotional-touching novel, but not bad in character growth and relationship development.
