When the proud, arrogant, and daring Jian Suiying falls in love at first sight with Li Yu, his younger brother Jian Suilin’s classmate, he actively showed his affections. But his supposed “chasing” only caused him humiliation due to Li Yu’s hostile attitude, stirring up this noble young master’s animalistic and rather insane nature. Soon, their desires and emotions blended together, making it difficult for them to separate from one another. What should’ve been a competitive romantic chase between the two became a forbidden secret. And because of Jian Suilin’s ulterior motives, things gradually out of control, and ultimately, the hidden dangers burst out. In the end, all of them will not be able to escape the judgement of fate…

• For a comprehensive list of content warnings, refer to the novel carrd here or in the 188 series card here

This novel is not for everyone, I understand that the content throws off many people, so I’m telling you right now: please do not continue reading this novel if it makes you uncomfortable. The whole point of this novel is toxic relationships, the plot and both main characters are pushed to the extremes here, more so compared to the other 188 characters (in my opinion). But this has a good ending, and LiJian eventually live a happy life together. If you are fine with these themes, by all means, go ahead and give it a try.

Additional Information:

1. This novel is part of the novel series called 188男团. Several characters from other novels in the series (specifically: Little White Poplar and Sissy) will have cameos, but it is not necessary to read these novels beforehand.
2. The original title of the novel from its first publication in JJWXC is “你却爱着一个傻逼” or ” 你却爱着一个SB ” (Yet You’re In Love with an Idiot) but it has changed its name to “你却爱着一个他” (Yet You’re In love with Him) when it was hosted on iQIYI. It is also the title of the official manhua on Kuaikan Comics. Technically, the official English title of this novel is now “My Beloved Fool” (the given English title in the manhua), but I’m choosing to use the translation of the original title.
3. Don’t be fooled by the number of chapters, each chapter is very long. Thus, the chapters will be separated into parts (in JJWXC it was 130+ chapters, but now that SQC’s contract with JJWXC expired & the novel’s now hosted in iQIYI, chapters were compressed together into only 23 so each chapter is very long)
4. This translation has been continued to Chrysanthemum Garden. Translations were originally uploaded on my website, but I decided to move them here on CG (after a hiatus) to avoid the TL from being copy-pasted to third-party sites or from being made to epubs.

Do not repost my translations anywhere and make epubs of them. Do not retranslate my work either.

please do not ask to retranslate into another language from my translation, refer to the raws instead. Thank you.
