Synopsis

He Yu and Fu Chenshan were childhood friends, and He Yu had a crush on Fu Chenshan from junior high until they started working together. After years of asking for help but not receiving it, the young man who got into trouble became impetuous and chose to spend three years in prison to take the place of Fu Chenshan.

He Yu lost his closest relatives in prison and was repeatedly bullied, forcing him to choose to cling to Qiao Mudong for a better life. He realized how to be sorry at that point, but there was no way out.

Three years later, he was released. Fu Chenshan was pleased with his life and had a lovely woman by his side. He Yu’s passion seemed to have devolved into a farce at the time. He had planned a route of retreat from a difficult situation, but he unexpectedly ran into Qiao Mudong again…


One sentence introduction: This story is about changing the broken gong.


Content Warning:

Mature themes to be read at your own discretion. Read the review I left on NU for more details about this <3


KEIGHTY: From the same author of Burning Heart!


Translator’s note:

1v1. Power couple. “Rabbit that bites when provoked” shou MC × Hot, straightforward (vulgar, even), strong, and rich gong ML who “had a temper of a young master and a character of a gangster”. Gong appears around Chapter 10, so let’s be patient, okay?

This novel is picked up upon Mel‘s request—which means that I’m reading this novel while translating it. I can’t really promise anything as of now but:

Personally, I really like this one even if I haven’t finished it yet. I love their couple dynamics so much and I’m looking forward to finishing it up. Gong might come up as someone who is playful, impatient, and easily annoyed, so he’s quite intense sometimes. Anyway, He Yu is there to calm him down. He had Qiao Mudong on a leash, don’t worry.

No retranslating, reposting, or making offline copies of my translation. Thank you.

a way out (退路)

Translator's Note

which amusingly consists of physical and verbal fights, but they still end up in bed cuddling together XP

      • hehe… so many chapters to read…. so many chapters to read… a novel isn’t for everyone and everyone has their own taste, for me I can tolerate it so as long as it got potential to me I’ll read it <3

  1. I haven’t read the synopsis and yet I’m already excited about this novel!!! What a great start of the year. 🙌🏼

  2. Ay I just saw this and immediately put it on my reading list~ sad that the new chapter notifications here aren’t fixed yet TvT

    • Thank you for adding this one~ I suggest you to join discord, go to #get-your-roles, and click the smoke emoji for ROR so that you’ll be notified every chapter update. Another way is to add this to your list on NovelUpdates! <3

  3. I’ll be honest with you, I’m so much more invest in Li Tang’s story even though He Yu is what brought me here. Thanks so much for the great story and looking forward to the update.

    • Waaaa T-T thank you so much. I really thought that no one (or at least, only a few) would be interested in Li Tang’s side story. Rest assured, updates will continue according to our schedule as we approach the ending! Thank you for reading, hanae~ 🫶
