Title: Saving the Tragic Adonis
Author: 东方黄瓜
Chapters: 63 chapters + 1 extra
Publication: 2021
Summary from Novel Updates:
Shu Ning read a CEO novel. In it, there was a beautiful and tragic villain. He was clearly the true young master of a wealthy family, but he was switched at birth and became a delinquent. Later, he returned to the wealthy family to go against the fake young master, fought for his fiancée, and finally fell from the top of a building and died.
After his death, the fake young master inherited his money and his fiancée, his career and his love.
Shu Ning resentfully tore up the novel and transmigrated into the book that very night.
The little villain shook his legs, cursed, had horrible grades, dyed his hair yellow, didn’t have a single good point.
Shu Ning’s eyes twitched: Before sending him back to the Wei family, let’s make some changes. Otherwise, he’ll be rejected by the Wei family again.
After being reformed by Shu Ning.
The little villain didn’t shake his legs, stopped swearing, and cut his crazy, scene-style hair. He was as beautiful as a fairy and took first place in the entire grade.
Daddy Shu Ning shed tears of relief: Our baby is so good. He’ll definitely be able to get rid of that fake young master!
But isn’t baby a little too good?
He casually created a piece of software and sold it for hundreds of thousands.
He casually bought some stocks and made millions.
Before his wealthy family had even found him, he had become wealthy all on his own.
Every time he earned some money, he would offer it up to Shu Ning, buying him this and that, even buying him a villa!
Shu Ning (drooling): This damn villa, quickly take it away, don’t tempt me!
Yin Mingzheng thought that he was tr*sh of unknown origin, someone that no one cared about. He thought that he was someone who should have perished long ago.
Until that day, when he met the only light in his life.
So he clung onto the light tightly, refusing to let go.
His light said: You have to improve yourself.
So Yin Mingzheng worked hard to become better and stronger. He wanted to protect his only light. Because his light was the sole meaning of his existence.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
This was a great novel about helping change someone's fate based on their family experiences. You really feel for Yin Mingzheng, especially in the beginning when he was a prickly hedgehog used to being blamed for everything. His slow growth from an isolated, angry youth to a young adult who learned to accept people's flaws and be more forgiving towards people who care about him was really great to experience.
I could definitely relate to Shu Ning's experience of a father raising his cub lol. However, I felt like the ending was pretty rushed? We were robbed of a fluffy romance after the couple got together! The one extra chapter wasn't enough! What about their future plans like Shu Ning talked about? And what happened to Zhou Juan and her real son? Did they get a chance to repent? Were they like a pair of dogs biting each other after the fallout? Author, I just wanna know!!!

2.5 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
I really enjoyed one of the author's more famous books, I Like Your Pheromones, so I thought I'd read this book as well since the summary sounded interesting. And it was interesting, but it wasn't as great or funny as I Like Your Pheromones. Since it was tagged as a comedy, I thought it would be more funny, but there wasn't much humor except little instances sprinkled throughout.
Also, because the misunderstanding dragged on for more than half of the book, it was more dramatic and angsty with not enough humor to lighten up the mood.
Overall an okay read, but I definitely skimmed through parts.
