13. Times Change~

Xie He looked up slightly, “You’re back.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Yes. I came back this morning.”

Yi Ze recalled what Jian Zihan had said last night. He was a bit nervous. Did…Xie He really still love him? After Yi Ze had hurt him like that, was he still willing to love him? dT708g

Xie He said ‘oh’ and then didn’t say anything more. He lifted his covers and tried to sit up. Yi Ze stretched out a hand to support him at once. His gaze fell onto the back of Xie He’s pale and thin hand. The numerous purple veins stung his eyes.

Yi Ze’s eyes dimmed. Although he had gotten detailed news of Xie He every day, it was much more impactful to see him with his own eyes. It made him feel even more anguished.

Yi Ze looked away. He brought over the clothes that were lying on the side and helped Xie He dress. His voice was soft and quiet, “Do you want to go take a walk?”

Xie He nodded docilely.

The weather wasn’t bad today. The sunshine felt warm on one’s skin. However, it still couldn’t warm Yi Ze’s heart. He gave Xie He a supporting arm and carefully helped him to the garden.

Xie He’s stamina was weak. After a short while, he could no longer move. He sat down on the promenade of the garden. Seeing Yi Ze fluttering about for his sake, he suddenly said, “Yi ge.”

Yi Ze’s heart rate slowed down. It had been a long time since he last heard Xie He call him ‘Yi ge’. Since that day, Xie He had always been silent. He had never spoken unless prompted. Even when he had to call Yi Ze, he would call him ‘President Yi’….No one knew just how badly he had wanted to hear ‘Yi ge’ again.

This made him think of the youth back then, who had stood in front of him shyly. Years and years passed. When he was by his side, it felt like he had no presence. But actually, he had always been there. The image of when he was happy, when he was shy, when he was calm, when he called him Yi ge affectionately…he remembered all of these. I3zUkG

Those memories had soundlessly imprinted themselves into his brain without even him noticing.

“I’m here.” Yi Ze looked at Xie He with faint warmth in his eyes.

Xie He looked up at him. His black, lucid eyes seemed to understand everything. His smile was clear but shallow. With a small voice, he said, “You don’t have to treat me so well.”

These words made Yi Ze’s heart sink. He forced himself to smile. “Why?” BQIwkd

Xie He didn’t directly answer his question. Instead, the corner of his lips drew up as he said, “I’ve been with you for so many years. Many people have said that you’re heartless, but I never thought so. I always thought that you were actually a really gentle person inside. You’ve always treated those at your side fairly. You also treated me very well all this time. So long as I don’t anger you, you’ve never gotten angry at me….You don’t know just how many people were jealous of me for being able to be with you. You have also never led me on. It was I who had been greedy, who had wanted what I shouldn’t want. I was just like all those others. In the end, I tried to step out of my bounds.”

“If a person loses their self-awareness and yearns for something they shouldn’t, then their ending definitely won’t be good. I have always understood this. I wanted to leave you, not because of you, but because of me….I didn’t want to embarrass myself further, so I decided to leave. I didn’t expect you to be so angry.”

“I know just how good you’ve been to me.” Xie He’s eyelashes fluttered. His voice held a suppressed tremble. He gave Yi Ze a deep gaze. His smile was pale and you could see a lucid helplessness and sorrow through it. “However, I’ve said it before—don’t sympathize with me or pity me. Even more, I hope you don’t treat me well…because….I’ll only misunderstand.”

And he already didn’t want to have any hope again. r1nkNB

Yi Ze listened to him calmly, eyes dim. Even so, he didn’t interrupt Xie He’s words. He waited until the other finished speaking before squatting down in front of him. With both hands, he cupped Xie He’s face. With a low voice, he said, “Misunderstand what?”

Xie He stared at him and his pale lips trembled. He didn’t speak.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yi Ze smiled. This smile turned his originally cold and stern face gentle. He asked again, “What will you misunderstand?”

“I’ll think that you care a little about me.” Xie He shut his eyes, words sounding like he was smashing a cracked pot. MleRfc

Because he didn’t want to be wallowing in despair, he would rather not see or think about it. When Yi Ze treated him well, it would remind him that he was a pitiful wretch. Even if he did his best, he would not be able to attain this person’s love…at most, he could only have his sympathy.

Yi Ze, “You’ve indeed misunderstood.”

He looked into Xie He’s eyes and enunciated each word clearly, “I don’t just care a little about you. I love you.”

Xie He widened his eyes, incredulous. It was as if he didn’t think he’d be able to hear such words from Yi Ze’s mouth while alive. From this person’s mouth unexpectedly appeared the word ‘love’. Oxd6fk

When Yi Ze said this, he was actually extremely nervous. This ‘I love you’ had been brewing in his heart for a long time. Then, when he wanted to say it, Xie He wouldn’t give him a chance to do so.

That was, until today. Today, he was finally able to calmly tell the other of his feelings. He was finally able to express these feelings….It was the first time he ever told anyone he loved them. It was the first time he thought that love could make a person so apprehensive.

He couldn’t help but think nervously, how will Xie He react? Would he be happy and shocked? Or would he…disdain him severely…?

Love would make anyone selfish. 5C3Q4R

After a while, Xie He seemed to recover from his shock. He suddenly smiled and said, “Yi ge, thank you.”

From Yi Ze’s eyes came deep love. He couldn’t help but want to kiss the person he loved deeply. However, just before he touched the other, Xie He continued, “Even if you’re lying to me, I’m still very happy….Really, thank you.”

There was no happiness, disappointment, disgust, or glee. Because Xie He had never trusted Yi Ze’s feelings for him. He only calmly accepted this ‘lie’.

In the beginning, the one who didn’t believe that Xie He loved him, was him. Now, Xie He didn’t believe that Yi Ze loved him.

It was so fair that it could not be more fair.

What kind of person would treat the person they loved as cruelly as he has? How on earth would he be worthy of forgiveness? zBglF0

He wasn’t worthy of being forgiven at all.

Yi Ze was silent for a while and then he chuckled quietly. “Then take it as me lying. I love you.”

He cupped Xie He’s face and kissed him, gently and lovingly.

Even if this was his punishment, it was fine. This was what he deserved. RlQIKi

……………………………………

Since Yi Ze had confessed, he really acted like he was Xie He’s lover. However, he had never actually been in a real relationship before, so occasionally, he would make a childish mistake and fall into a fluster every now and then.

In the beginning, Xie He wasn’t used to Yi Ze’s actions. Afterwards, he adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

At a time like this, there was little meaning in differentiating between what was real and what was fake. 3W Ijk

Yi Ze watched Xie He’s body grow weaker by the day. He finally understood that money could not buy love nor life. If he could use money to ensure that the person he loved could stay, he would give everything. Unfortunately, it was not possible.

He only realized this simple principle today. Now, it was too late for regrets.

Yi Ze almost never left the hospital. At night, he would lay next to Xie He on his sick bed and hold the other in his arms. He would use his hands to measure the other’s weight. It felt like the other got lighter with every day that passed by.

They didn’t have much time left. OkbiAR

Time was the cruellest thing in the world. It would not stop for anyone.

Today, the weather wasn’t bad, so Yi Ze carried Xie He onto a wheelchair and pushed him to the garden for a walk.

After half an hour, Yi Ze began to look rather nervous, and he suddenly turned to face Xie He. He knelt on one knee and pulled out a velvet box from his pocket. He carefully opened it and presented it to Xie He with both hands.

Inside the box was a simple pair of wedding rings. zwyFT2

After he did this, he—this thirty-something-year-old man—felt nervous, like a young man who was having his first awakening of love. Yi Ze gazed deeply into Xie He’s eyes and said, “I love you. Be my bride, OK?”

Xie He looked at Yi Ze for a long time, silent. He saw that Yi Ze was about to break out in a cold sweat and couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m a man. How could I be your bride, ah?”

Yi Ze didn’t even think before blurting out, “I can also be your bride, ah.”

Xie He: “….” Are you not a man? KrOV6z

After Yi Ze said that, Yi Ze looked embarrassed…he didn’t think that he would ever say such words. Whatever…so long as he could have his wife, did he need face?

Xie He slowly said, “But I can’t afford to take you as a wife, ah….”

The fact that Xie He didn’t reject him was incredibly good news to Yi Ze. Besides, this was a trifling matter! He said with a serious face, “That’s fine. I’ll pay for my own dowry. You don’t have to do anything.”

Xie He finally laughed. In his eyes was a lustre that hadn’t been seen for a long time. “Yi ge…right now, with what you’re doing, you really look like you love me.” uX pr3

Pain flashed through Yi Ze’s eyes. “Consider it real, OK?”

Xie He suddenly fell silent.

Yi Ze didn’t give Xie He a chance to regret. He grabbed his hand and placed the ring onto his ring finger and then stood up, kissing him on the forehead. “From today on, I’m yours. You have to take responsibility for me.”

Xie He paused. Slowly, he smiled, “Yi ge, back then, I didn’t know you could make such jokes.” VP dT4

Yi Ze said, “Back then, I also didn’t know that I could love you like this”

It was just unfortunate that I found out too late. By the time I figured it out, I realized I would soon lose you. The only thing that I can do is to give you all of my love in the limited time we have, because I already have no time to waste.

The next morning, Yi Ze said to Xie He excitedly, “Today, there’s going to be a news conference. I hope that you can take part with me.”

When Xie He heard this, his expression changed slightly. Although Yi Ze had suppressed the matter afterwards and the media sites stopped propagating it while his reputation began to become washed clean, gossip was still a thing to be feared. It was inevitable that people would whisper behind his back. His public image was not as it was. Now, with his present condition, he wanted to appear before the public even less. He knew that his days were numbered. Why would he bother with his posthumous reputation?

Xie He pursed and then said, “It’s not convenient with me like this, ba.”

Yi Ze said, “You’re the protagonist. You can’t be absent today! Relax, you don’t have to say anything. I’ll speak.” 6Jxdud

When Yi Ze said this, Xie He did not continue objecting. He had no interest in any news conference, nor did he have any intention of inquiring about it.

However, it was clear that Yi Ze was very excited.

He personally helped dress Xie He in a tailored suit. It was just a pity that Xie He had lost too much weight. He didn’t look as good as he used to. It was obvious he was currently too thin and weak—it was clearly big on him. Yi Ze gently caressed Xie He’s face and then helped him put on a wig.

No one knew how tormenting all of this was for him. He watched with his own eyes as the one he loved walked towards his death, one step at a time. He however, could only face it with a smile. 30vxhJ

After dressing him up, although Xie He still looked sick, he finally reclaimed some of his splendour of the past. You could vaguely see the extraordinarily charming big star that he once was.

Yi Ze carefully carried Xie He into the car. The reporters participating in the news conference had already arrived. The busting crowd made it difficult for them to go through so Yi Ze’s bodyguard had to go make way for them.

Xie He lowered his head, uneasiness in his eyes. He still remembered how the people online insulted him at the time. Although he was already used to the internet’s violence, it would still make him unhappy. He had only passively endured it because resistance was futile. He would only be cursed even more fiercely.

Yi Ze carried Xie He into the conference area under everyone’s eyes and carefully placed him onto the sofa. He had this sofa specially prepared for Xie He. Yi Ze’s movements were gentle and his expression was loving. From start to finish, his gaze never left Xie He. The reporters instantly exploded! 6haf2i

Yi Ze had said that he wanted to announce his marriage today. As the most famous, eligible bachelor, Yi Ze’s reputation was no less than the great star Xie He. Moreover, his marriage announcement was extra impactful because everyone was wondering which lady had the ability to marry Yi Ze! Did she save the entire galaxy in her last life? Who would have expected that Yi Ze would not bring out his fiance and would instead bring out the notorious Xie He?! He was even looking at him so gently and with so much affection!

The media was about to go crazy! Today, there would be huge news, huge news, ah!

All along, Yi Ze maintained a calm expression. He would only show a soft expression when facing Si Minghui. When he looked down, he immediately adopted his typical steady and apathetic expression.

He took the microphone, flashing the wedding ring on his ring finger without bothering to cover it up. With his left hand, he held onto Xie He’s. He said, “Thank you everyone for coming today. There is something that I want to tell everyone. Minghui and I have been in love for eight years. I’ve always loved him deeply. It was just because I didn’t want to affect his work and because Minghui didn’t want to expose this, that I have never made our relationship public. However, there have been inappropriate remarks on the internet as of late. They have severely harmed Minghui’s image and have tarnished our relationship. Therefore, I want to make it clear here that those rumours are baseless. From this day on, if there are similar slanderous comments made, I will take things to court. 7d1NRu

“Lastly, Minghui and my wedding ceremony has been set for one week from now. I hope that everyone will wish us well. Thank you.”

From Yi Ze’s first words, Xie He had stared at him, astonished. He was completely stupefied.

Yi Ze smiled at him. Then, under countless flashing lights, he calmly kissed him on the lips. He said, “I hope that you don’t blame me for acting on my own. I don’t want to continue having our relationship be in the dark.”

His voice wasn’t loud or quiet. He spoke very calmly. As expected, the reporters all heard this. 1Y3vlm

The reporters all flared up again! Big news, big news, ah! What patron and being kept, it’s all nonsense! Would anyone keep a mistress like this? It was clear that he loved him to the bone, ah! The extremely wealthy President Yi acted so cautiously before Xie He—with one glance, it was clear that he was a hen-pecked husband at home, ah!

Moreover, why did Xie He look so feeble? It couldn’t be that he was sick? Could it be that because he fell sick, Yi Ze could not stand it anymore? All of this was gossip!

The reporters’ brains spun quickly. Coming here today was extremely worth it—the news was explosive!

Xie He looked at Yi Ze. Tears gradually filled his eyes. He promptly lowered his head. He didn’t want others to see him lose composure. 2iRyKo

Yi Ze noticed this. He slightly shifted and used his tall body to block the line of sight. “Let’s go back, ba.”

He carried Xie He up and took him back to the car.

All the way, Xie He buried his face into Yi Ze’s shoulder. He shook slightly, as if he was too emotionally moved.

【Xie He:ZeZe is a capable person that can be taught. Dad feels very gratified. Just gave him a sense of crisis and he was enlightened. Smile.JPG】 vFGkAJ

【444:Oh! So there was a reason you wanted cancer? It wasn’t because you wanted to leave? ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) Ah!】

【Xie He:Of course. I can make his feelings brew faster and increase the speed of the Favourability Value’s rise, while also ascertaining how I will leave this world. An effective two birds with one stone strategy. If I didn’t get cancer, how would he think of all this so quickly? He might have even still been conflicted over whether or not to confess right now, hehe.】

【444:……】Suddenly feel a little sympathetic towards President Yi…._(:зゝ∠)_

【Xie He:Now, all that’s left is YuanYuan. Recently, he hasn’t come out. Is he being stopped by Yi Ze?】 pjeByO

【444:Yes! Yi Ze dispatched many people in the hospital and won’t let him come near you.】

【Xie He:ZeZe is truly such a vinegar jar.

【444:O(∩_∩)O~】Maintain your smile, maintain your smile!

【Xie He:It’s time to max his Favourability Value. Find out where ZeZe is planning to have our wedding ceremony. Anonymously send it to YuanYuan. He definitely won’t miss this last chance.】 84eS0

Yi Ze took Xie He back to the hospital. He waited until there was no one around before showing a nervous and uneasy expression. He asked, “Are you angry?”

Xie He gazed at him fixedly and a long time later, shook his head.

Yi Ze was instantly ecstatic. He couldn’t help but kiss Xie He. His kiss was very soft and there was thick love in his low voice. “We’re going to get married.”

Xie He’s finger twitched. He looked at him. “You don’t have to do this. Marriage isn’t a joke. I don’t have much time left….” dzqlrk

Yi Ze gazed into his eyes. “I’m not joking around. You are the one that I want. The only one.”

Xie He’s expression suddenly froze. A sliver of indifference came out.

Yi Ze noticed this. He suppressed the pain in his heart and said, “Aren’t I a very good actor? I’m pretty good with romantic lines, ba. It seems that if I go bankrupt, I have a future in acting.”

The corner of Xie He’s lips rose. nfyvO0

Yi Ze placed Xie He on the bed. Xie He’s body was worsening by the day. Today, he had spent a lot of energy. As soon as he laid on the bed, he fell asleep quickly. Yi Ze gently touched Xie He’s face with the tips of his fingers. Only when Xie He couldn’t see him, did he not have to suppress his own suffering and let out his own sorrow.

Xie He didn’t believe that Yi Ze loved him. He would rather believe that this was all because he sympathized with him and thought up this lie. He was not willing to believe in his love.

Because he was no longer willing to have any hope in him.

……………………………… Qpyq3z

Yi Ze very quickly had everything arranged for their wedding. Although there wasn’t a lot of time, everything was methodically arranged. He did not invite many people. He only invited close friends. On the day of their wedding, Jian Zihan also came.

Xie He had eaten his medicine very early and regained some spirit. However, he could not walk anymore and could only reach the wedding hall by wheelchair.

Xie He looked at the man before him. He felt like everything around him was like a dream. The person he loved also loved him. They would announce their relationship beneath the heaven, obtain everyone’s blessings, and then finally enter the hall of marriage.

The host looked at the two of them warmly and said, “Mr. Yi Ze, are you willing to take Mr. Si Minghui as your lawfully wedded partner? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?” Ewj7Or

Yi Ze said, “Yes.”

The host then looked at Xie He and asked, “Mr. Si Minghui, are you willing to take Mr. Yi Ze as your lawfully wedded partner? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?”

Xie He gazed at Yi Ze. This was what he had dreamed of all this time. How was it possible that he wouldn’t be willing? It was probably because God saw that he would soon die, that he would let him die within this beautiful dream, ba…. He suddenly smiled. There was no burden or haze in this smile. It was like he had gone back in time, when he was still innocent and without any worries or misgivings. Back then, he still had a firm faith that one day he would be happy. It was just that he had forgotten this faith.

Xie He opened his mouth and said, “I—” mrgKbc

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a clear, resounding voice! Fu Yuan strode over from the crowd and said with a stern voice, “I object!”


The author has something to say:

Because this novel was reported so the entire novel was locked. This author has changed things. Because of the edits, the contents within the previous chapters 82-85 have shifted earlier. The newest update is chapter 82. The next chapter will continue with the substitute arc. My dears who have already purchased this don’t have to buy it again. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.

This author did my utmost in writing what’s to come next. What’s important though is that my motivation has withered from having to make changes. Moreover, in order to unlock the previous chapters as soon as possible, the contents need to be changed. It’s a bit hard to get into it when you’re not in a good state of mind. Only, I will do my best to adjust myself! OoeNy8

The update time for the next few days hasn’t been set. Everyone, don’t wait for it at night. This author will do their best to resume updates.

Lastly, I bow to all your dears in appreciation for always supporting me and encouraging me. It’s your support and understanding that has prevented me from being too downcast. So as to not let down you all, I will continue to write this story well! I won’t go die that easily! I love you all! Thumb heart!

PS: In order to keep this harmonious, please don’t mention h, smut, meat, or any similar things that will arouse attention. Thank you everyone for your cooperation~~ We can say that this text is pure, ah~~ Because it’s really pure, ah….


Eve: Also, YZ, you scum man. Don’t think I’ll be won over because you decided to be sweet. GRRR. But also, there you guys have it—the reason why JJWXC’s raws are different now (and some of the naughty stuff have been changed). The author had no choice but to because of China’s censorship laws. DOWN WITH THE CRABS. IqEHjg

sere: ok honestly i don’t think YZ is as shitty as some previous scum gongs… don’t bash me for this but the worst he did was treat JZH as a substitute… He didn’t love this (technically) sex partner, so there was no obligation to care for his feelings of love. This is all before XH comes in, duh, because it’s not technically JZH anymore. A better counterpart would be WTMT’s Wen Ruoyi. I’m NOT saying he’s not a shitty man, but he’s relatively better. (yes, he chains JZH to him, but i feel this is in part due to XH’s manipulations)

Translator's Note

After making a mistake, error, or failing, instead of trying to fix it, you just give up and let things develop on its own.

Translator's Note

He actually just says ‘marry me’, but in Chinese, there are two characters for ‘marry’. One for each gender. You can consider it like, for women “marry into her husband’s family” and for men they “take a wife”. As for non-heterosexual couples…I honestly don’t know what they use in the real world in Chinese.

Translator's Note

A jealous person. Drinking vinegar = being jealous.

Translator's Note

all of these are just synonyms for smut

  1. I also think Yi Ze isn’t completely irredeemable. Yes, he ranks high on the scum scale for how he trampled on Si Minghui’s feelings before and regarded him as a plaything. But from what’s happening now, you can see that it’s also Yi Ze’s misfortune. The ones who are taught early on how to love and respect others, like Jian Zihan, are the lucky ones. That Yi Ze can learn and change himself at this point, that’s a good thing. Because of Xie He’s world clearance requirements, it will always be too little too late. If all the roles Xie He played could live on, however, then their stories wouldn’t have to end in tragedy.
    • yeah i agree. tho hes still a scum that needs to be beaten up badly. if you take xie hie and his manipulations out of the equation, you could say that hes not that hateful to the point death with real lifes pov. just like xie hie said hes quite generous with his playthings and he will not be cruel with you so long as youre obedient and has self awareness. hes just the typical cassanova fvckboy disgusting scum in real life moreover hes rich and has power, the privelege of them. reality is just that cruel.

      yeah people like jian zihan are really lucky and i guess they are deserving of it too while humans are not perfect and have their own defects they are good people thats worth having favourable impression with

  2. @sere well yeah,YZ isn’t that much of a scum in comparison to the previous worlds’ targets… with baby Minghui he was the typical sugardaddy for many people, but when XH entered the picture… rip

    Thanks for the chapter~ ( ^ ♡ ^ )/

  3. I wish there would be at least one gong who can spend his entire life with our shou. Ahhhhh….it’s torturous….

    • Dont forget our shou was orginal a gong. And he was a scum gong if you take a lol trip with me lets remeber the first few chapters when someone legit tried to pull the cancer bit on him and it stayed at 99 only to sink faster then the reigning terror that is the crabs.

  4. idk why this book always makes me tear up even though i know XH is pretending ;-;

  5. There’s is always an open discussion for scumminess of gongs. After you get to know wosrt scums, these types start paling in comparison. On chaining. There is this novel searches in dropped list oh yeah! “Every world seems not quite right” that garbage, sorry, but there ML is the type you’d hate the most. Just in first arc he literally mutilated MC’s legs so he wouldn’t run and without consent made him live together in a locked villa. So Yi Ze to me is a fluffy pony compared to that type of scum. Yes, he is a scum, because he treats people as dirt and is unable to see any type of genuine feelings, but comparing to some worst MLs out there, they really come as harmless, just dumb and scummy.

    I feel sorry this author had to re-write her own novel, after all the greatness of it is how raw and non-merciful it is that scalds you with drama, so you cry like a b*tch.

    • Let me just say, i originally made two Taylor Swift references in TNs but thought “nah, let’s not ruin the immersion”. But one of them was on this. About how suddenly I thought of Speak Now by TS and how amused I was while imagining FY singing the lyrics.

  6. I’ve binged this the last few days and this story is really good, the translation couldn’t be better. Curious, but also a bit impatient…. 😖😃

  7. I’ve never eaten crabs before but I wouldnt mind eating every last one of them, till I’m pucking my guts out. I swear most of my favorite novels get there jucie bits cut out cause the crabs got offend that it wasn’t crab jucie that was being given out.

    Thanks for translating and really thank you author.

    😭

  8. (ㆁᴗㆁ✿) my heart is still angry with Yi Ze to that point that I delusioned myself into believing that this is a different Yi Ze cus I was really touch by his gesture of love in this chapter.

    Don’t blame me, who told you to be such a scum gong who deserves an emotional beating. ¯_ (´∇` )_/¯

    HAHAHAHAHAH YASS FU YUAN! Such dramatic fanfare! Perfectly arriving at the time when its Si Minghui’s turn! It almost felt scripted by you and President Xie hahahha

    Thanks for the chappie ( ˘ ³˘)♡

  9. I wonder if the ”taking someone for granted” thing is related to final arc.

    also ahhh the hurt the pain… terminal illness tropes are my weakness,, actually it depends whhichever is painful (╥╯^╰╥)

    thanks for the chapter~

  10. I OBJECT TOO!!!! this wedding cannot happen, gong is the scummiest scum on earth >:(

  11. I agree, the dad who disregarded then raped his son was worse. But that ML still almost killed MC, because he didn’t believe him, all because he sold hinself for money. It’s just super hypoctitical for people buying people with money to disdain them for it. Amd that’s very annoying.

  12. When you’re a bit emotionally moved with teary eyes then, bam!

    【Xie He:ZeZe is a capable person that can be taught. Dad feels very gratified. Just gave him a sense of crisis and he was enlightened. Smile.JPG】

    Idk wether to laugh or cry or both – only this novel the mc switches so fast in emotions/acting ah!

    Wow! Such a good wedding crash ‘I object!’ Drama scene OwO

  13. The author better give me atleast the last arc or an extra with happy ending and fluff or else there will be a bloodshed. For now, I will continue to satisfy my sado-cum masochist side ( ̄^ ̄)

  14. Yes, Yi Ze is Still a Damn Scum Gong. He’s Still Naive and Stupid. He Thinks That if He Treats Xie He it Will all be Better? He Thinks if He Realized his Mistakes and His so Called Loved It It Will all Be Better?! NO Damn FCk NO.. First of All he Hasnt said a Single SORRRY Godaaamnn Just Say SORRy Even a single SORRRYY will Do Fcking HElL.. He rel9ized his mistaked but hasnt taken any words or actions to redeem himself UGh.. but this arch is still a masterpiece

  15. The reason why I think he is worst, is because, out of all the other ML’s so far he is the one who had purposely hurt the MC physically with the intent of killing, choking him twice. Like, Chu Xing did it but it was because of his identity as a rebel. It just didn’t sit right for me, and I was empathising way more to the original Si Minghui. Such a lovely boy. Although I don’t think I can love someone as deep as he did. Actually, scratch that, I’m like Jia Hyson, I easily get bored being in a relationship. With my parents and siblings as an example, I have long abandoned the concept of love in romantic relationships. I am more invested with familial love and the love in friendship so I’m still a normal person ¯_(ツ)_/¯
  16. Nah, YZ not only just treated SMH as a substitute, he didn’t even respect him as a person, he looked at SMH with disdain as he was just a lowly actor selling his body, not worthy to love or be loved.

  17. Aiyaaa. I know Xie He’s lines were made to abuse that trash Yi Ze but why does my heart hurt too. Why do you this to me author-nim.

    Kudos to this amazing translations too. It wouldn’t hurt this much if not for the way you guys delivered it. Great job, guys. ❤️

  18. Sorry, but FY objection just made m remember something I read online about a country that didn’t accept divorce so because of that more than half the weddings there are filled with ‘objections’. I really thought it was Hella funny. 😂

  19. i still can’t really like him cuz of his attempted murder on xh while he was still injured just bc of his yz’s own misunderstandings and jealousy 😐
