Shi Jin once read a book. It was supposed to be about satisfying the desire for vengeance.

The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father. All was well, while his father was alive at least, but after his death, Shi Jin’s five elder half-brothers tormented him, eventually leading to his death. The protagonist was reborn, determined to take revenge, and… the novel was discontinued.

That day, Shi Jin almost spat blood and dropped the book into a shredder. The next day, he died in a car accident. Somehow, when he came to, he had transmigrated into a teenager, a youth also called Shi Jin.

There was only one problem. His father had just died. His older brothers were about to torment him…

Shi Jin: Let’s eliminate my brothers’ hatred, my goal is to keep my life!

    Indeed, as the translator conveyed, I am never bored with this novel; it's truly captivating. Surprisingly, considering "boredom" is often synonymous with my disposition! ?

    I truly adore this novel; it's an incredibly engaging and emotionally charged read. Unfortunately, I've come across the fact that the previous translation has been removed, which prevents me from continuing. I can't bear to endure machine-translation, so I'll patiently await a better option. It's a pity, as the earlier translation was exceptional as well.

    This story deserves much more recognition! The plot stands out with its originality and engaging pacing. As you delve deeper, the journey becomes thrilling and enjoyable as the protagonist gradually unravels the puzzle, thanks to the adorable, humorous, and shipping elements. Each character shines with their distinct personalities, avoiding stereotypes and offering depth. The chemistry between the main character (MC) and the love interest (ML) is seamless, and their growth defies cliches - the author skillfully weaves their traits and storyline, creating a perfect match. I've revisited this novel numerous times and still find the excitement and laughter addictive. You won't be let down; it's a delightful read! 😊

    One cannot express enough praise; this is truly extraordinary. The dynamics between Shi Jin and his siblings, as well as his friendships and romantic entanglements with others, particularly Lian Jun, were beautifully crafted and captivating. Every chapter held my interest, leaving me reading until the early hours of the morning. The narrative seamlessly weaves together themes of hatred and forgiveness, presenting multi-dimensional characters with both redeeming qualities and room for growth. Initially, it appears lighthearted, yet it gradually delves into profound emotions, tugging at heartstrings. The story concludes on a delightful, triumphant note. I'm at a loss for words to adequately convey just how remarkable this is - the plot is neatly tied up, leaving me thoroughly satisfied.

    The central message I want to convey is that this book is definitely worth reading. It ranks as my absolute favoriteBL novel so far, despite not being explicitly labeled. The storytelling is exceptional, with well-paced chapters that keep you engaged from beginning to end. The main characters, the MC and ML, form a dynamic duo that's relatable without being overly powerful or clichéd. The ML is a charming character, not possessive or domineering; he's the dream husband everyone would aspire to have, as he trusts the MC deeply.

    Here's a minor spoiler:
    Even though the ML knows about the MC's unusual nature (system), he chooses to protect his secret.

    As for the MC, I was deeply moved by their tragic backstory. This particular character's plight had me in tears. Their emotional journey is truly heart-wrenching.

    If you find the MC's actions perplexing or annoying at times, please bear with them; there's a purpose behind their decisions. The story unravels gradually, with the key revelations coming towards the climax in the final 50 chapters.

    The narrative might seem confusing initially, but don't worry, as the twists and turns are surprisingly satisfying, even for those who've made predictions.

    I am thrilled to have discovered this gem, and I highly recommend giving it a read. If you're impatient for translations, feel free to attempt a self-translation – you won't regret the time spent on this captivating story.

    I wholeheartedly recommend this gem among the tumultuous sea of Chinese web novels in its genre. The story stands out due to its thoughtful planning and execution, with a significant improvement thanks to the translator and editor's efforts to adapt it for English readers. The narrative possesses a coherent plot and logical progression, offering a balanced blend of fun and pacing without pretension.

    The main character and the male lead (ML) are both endearing, and even the supporting characters are well-developed, adding depth to the story. This isn't a typical rom-com with sporadic action; it leans more towards a heartwarming family drama, comedy, and mystery, with a subtle and charming romance that tugs at your heartstrings - I found myself sighing in delight multiple times.

    The ML exhibits a quiet possessiveness, but it's far from crossing into the territory of toxic relationships often seen in other web novels. In summary, this is an exceptional read that you won't regret starting. Give it a try and treat yourself – it's truly a fantastic experience.

    Oh wow, I just can't convey how much I adored this doujinshi! All the characters are so lovable, and I adore each one, well, almost every one (!=^_^!=) It's evident how deeply the main character (MC) and the male lead (ML) care for each other. I sincerely wish they could spend their lives together without any regrets, ((^_^*)) This story is incredibly heartwarming. If you have the chance, I highly recommend giving "DPB" a few chapters – I promise you won't be disappointed! (I hope so... (。>﹏<。))
