Summary from Novel Updates:
The most impressive thing that the timid and cowardly Wen Zhichu has done in his entire life was rescuing two grade schoolers who had ignored the red light and crossed the streets recklessly. As for the result of his one-time bravery, he also sent himself off.
When he woke up again, he discovered that he had transmigrated into a book as a cannon fodder villain who keeps hopping back and forth on the edge of a minefield— ultimately, receiving the ending of sleeping on the streets for offending the protagonist.
Wen Zhichu, who’s been told by his mom since young that he has a delicate body and couldn’t sleep on the streets: !
Just as Wen Zhichu planned to stop participating in this world’s story plot and become an insignificant, transparent character, he accidentally became bound to a villain system. If he didn’t follow the original plotline to cause trouble for the protagonist, he’d be deducted money and forced to sleep on the streets even sooner than the original story.
Wen Zhichu: : )
Wen Zhichu was forced onto the path of a villain. Every time he sees the protagonist’s strong, robust body, even his calves start trembling.
One punch would probably K.O. two of him.
The villain’s mission: Destroy the protagonist’s lunch.
Looking at the protagonist sitting to the side, Wen Zhichu swallowed his saliva, threw a handful of rainbow-colored skittles into the food, and then ran off immediately.
Qin Jiashu: ……
The Villain’s mission: Ruin the Protagonist’s main love line.
Heading to the protagonist’s locker, Wen Zhichu scooped out the mountain pile of love letters inside, leaving behind only his own falsified love letter.
Qin Jiashu, who just happened to see everything after returning from playing basketball: ……
The Villain’s mission: Destroy the protagonist’s belonging.
Holding a needle, Wen Zhichu stealthily arrived at the school’s parking lot and prepared to puncture the protagonist’s car tire.
Who’d expect the utterly unreliable Wen Zhichu would bump straight into the protagonist this time.
Wen Zhichu hastily hid the needle behind his back.
Two of him was not even enough for the other to beat up.
The protagonist raised his hand. Wen Zhichu subconsciously covered his head.
Qin Jiashu patted the front bumper of the car: “Get in, I’ll drive you.”
Wen Zhichu: ? ? ?
All of Qin Jiashu’s bros knew that about the dark and withdrawn, annoying pest in the neighboring class, who came over every few days to cause trouble.
Once Qin Jiashu was buying a sports drink at the store, sure enough, that annoying pest followed over as well. Not surprisingly, that annoying pest snatched away the item that Qin Jiashu wanted to buy in advance and even opened it to take a drink right in front of him.
Qin Jiashu stopped him. Right before they thought he’d teach that annoying as*hole a lesson, Qin Jiashu actually grabbed the already opened sports drink from Wen Zhichu’s hand, tossed his head back, and started drinking it.
Qin Jiashu: Very sorry, but I’ve already reached happy ending.

Summary from Novel Updates:
—Breaking News! Admiral Lucas of the Empire has dispatched his men, reportedly to find his date from the hotel last night!
The reporter excitedly asked a question: What would you do once you find them?
Lucas’ eyes glinted coldly: Kill them.
The crowd: ???
Why does he seem different from everyone else…
–
Gong’s perspective →
There’s nothing the short-tempered Admiral Lucas looks down on more than the whiny and annoying omegas in his life.
A significant other? Will never happen in this lifetime.
However, if he is forced to elaborate… He much prefers the gentle and honest beta secretary, skilled in both combat and academia, who can brew coffee and match clothes for him.
–
Shou’s perspective →
Luo Ran is Lucas’ secretary, and what he does is the most inhumane job in the entire empire.
He has to wait on the nit-pickiest superior who sits above him, and below him, he has to deal with the entire empire who dare not interact with the admiral, the admiral’s subordinates, coworkers, admirers… etc.
Not only that, but he also has to carefully hide the fact that he’s an omega, as well as his identity as the admiral’s “one night stand”… constantly facing the imminent threat of getting killed at any moment.
Until one day, he accidentally went into heat in front of Lucas, the sweet and lovely pheromone an exact match with the pheromone of the person from that night.
It’s over, he’s about to be killed now.
“How brave of you.” Lucas held the back of Luo Ran’s head, the other arm looped around his waist as he smiled, “Now… I’m going to kill you.”

MY REVIEW:
Oh, what a wonderful love! The entire Empire ships their love, but the two protagonists in question had no idea lol.
Normally, I would get bored if a book includes too many netizen comments, but the Empire's netizens were great! Their ability to create sugar for their CP was so realistic and logical that even Luo Ran, a silent melon eater to his own CP, was almost brainwashed into believing it. Plus, I still can't get over the super tropey and overdramatic fanfics! They were so bad that they were good lmao.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Luo Ran and Lucas had the best, equal partnership even before they got together. There was so much trust and care for each other that it just made the misunderstandings between each other even more funny lol.

Summary from Novel Updates:
At the age of 12, Shen Yue accidentally fell into a pond while feeding fish. That’s when she realized that her parents were not her real parents, and her five brothers were not her real brothers either. She was just a fake heiress to the Shen family!
Knowing she was destined to lose everything, Shen Yue decided to just lie down and give up. If she was going to lose it all anyway, she might as well just lie down and relax.
“Big brother, is working at the company fun? Let me check it out,” she thought, wanting to enjoy the perks of being a Shen daughter while she still could. Those luxuries would be out of reach soon enough.
“Second brother, is acting fun? Let me give it a try,” she schemed. What? They pay you just to lie still like a corpse? This is a job she had to get!
“Third brother, is that gun realistic? Let me see,” she said, examining the firearm. Not bad, though the recoil is too strong. She’d need to find a smaller one to play with next time.
“Fourth brother, will the teachers be mad if I sneak into your research institute? Let me take a peek,” she plotted, eyeing her handsome professor. A little hugging wouldn’t hurt!
“Fifth brother, that medicine you’re working on smells nice. Mind if I try a little taste…” she asked casually before sampling it. Tastes good! But now my head feels itchy—I better not be growing a brain!
On the day the real heiress returned, Shen Yue’s five brothers shielded her behind them. “Dear sister, can we keep her with us? She’s a bit slow, it’d be dangerous for her out there alone.”
The true heiress scoffed coldly, masking her sly intentions beneath a guise of innocence.
But in the end, she realized this Shen Yue really was quite dim-witted. Oh well, might as well let her stay.
4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT
MY REVIEW:
The story is set up into three parts. Part 1 is the silly comedy of Shen Yue not really thinking but gradually learning how to get along with her brothers that's depicted in the summary. Part 2 is the bleak and indifferent Shen Yue that was hinted at when recalling her past memories. Part 3 goes back to Shen Yue's silly antics as she tries to reconcile who she really is.
There's a lot of science and sci-fi mentioned throughout the second half. I'm saying all of this because I had no idea what to expect after the first part, so that kind of threw me off for a while. I wanted to read a silly comedy, but ended up with more than I expected. Not too bad because the author was able to go back to the comedy but still maintain its wholesomeness with slices of dark reality to keep you on your toes lol.
