Webnovel Review: My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness by Can’t Play Chess

Title: My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness
Author: Can’t Play Chess
Chapters: 171 chapters + 4 extras
Publication: 2019
Summary from Novel Updates:

Xie Yang has spent many years in the apocalypse and is tired and worn out. Then he transmigrated into a simple and superficial novel about the entertainment circle.

The protagonist of the novel was handsome, smart and reborn. The female protagonist of the novel was beautiful, inspirational and had a golden finger. Some male and female roles were also beautiful and had a deep background. If he casually transmigrated into one of them then he could close his eyes and enjoy himself. However, he didn’t transmigrate into any of them and instead became the hidden husband of the biggest villain in the novel, the male protagonist’s uncle.

He was called a husband but it was more similar to a babysitter. This was because the biggest villain in the novel was a terminally ill patient with a terrible personality and a sick brain (really sick). They got married for the sake of happiness.

Xie Yang: It doesn’t matter if you are the male lead, the female lead or the villain, whoever dares to stop me from living a comfortable life will die.

4.5 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was so good! I stayed up until 6AM reading this the first night I started this novel because it was so entertaining. 

If you like entertainment novels with lots of dog blood, face slapping, and humor, then this book is definitely for you. There's so many scandals and rumors and melon eaters that it can get tiring if you're not into that genre lol.

I went into this novel with no expectations, so I had a fun time reading about Xie Yang teasing his always tsundere husband and watching Xie Yang competently getting revenge and face slapping his opponents. He just wanted to live a comfortable, peaceful life, but he has to change his future or else he'll end up with the same fate as the original body in the novel. This led to him inevitably changing the fates of the people around him as well, including his terminally ill husband Qiu Xing. 

I loved reading their interactions and how they liked to antagonize each other at first before their feelings changed, and then it turned into teasing instead. There's so much dog food to make up for all of the dog blood drama lmao. 

I don't think Xie Yang changed much throughout the novel, but Qiu Xing's gradual change was so sweet and heartwarming. Qiu Xing was a terminally ill man burdened with his family's problems and was all but resigned for his inevitable death. He was a domineering president in all aspects of life but became a timid coward in the face of love and the premise of actually getting better. How could you NOT love him?! And Xie Yang was such a satisfying character to read about. He was so smart and competent but full of sharp barbs because he lived in an apocalypse before, and he's unapologetic about his personality, especially in front of Qiu Xing. 

The whole system aspect was really interesting. I liked that it also had its own backstory and its history with the female protagonist was unexpected but interesting. 

The ending was also so good! I loved the lead up to the wedding and the comparison photo at the end.
