  • Rating(4.3 / 5.0) ★

Yan Shuang is an old veteran of the Transmigration Bureau. Once he finishes one last book, he’ll be able to make a lump-sum withdrawal of the pension he’s accumulated across various books and live a happily retired life.

There’s good news once he enters the book — He’s the protagonist.

Bad news? — He’s the protagonist of an angsty, dog blood novel.

Before him lay five highly toxic relationship plotlines with the same shou but different gongs.

Scum Gong 1: Master-servant contract with physical and mental abuse aplenty

Scum Gong 2: Carving out one of your kidneys for the white moonlight

Scum Gong 3: Brainwashing/reconditioning shame play

Scum Gong 4: You’re nice but unfortunately not clean enough

Scum Gong 5: Save him and I can marry you

Yan Shuang: He’s eager to retire already, hurry up ba

#Drop dead funny, not angsty at all#

Translator’s note concerning a bit of controversy surrounding this novel

The ending wasn’t what a lot of readers expected so they sent the author so much hate mail that she quit Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. I believe this was a misunderstanding due to the tags used. I will leave a spoiler below and you can choose whether to read it or not.

Also, just to let anyone who reads ahead know: the ending has been revised and you miss a lot of content unless you read from the official raws on JJWXC (link above)

Spoiler from the author’s summary that may hamper your enjoyment
Are you sure you want to know?

There is no CP, the MC chooses none of them in the end.

Did the author do anything wrong? Not really. There is a section for ‘no CP’ novels on the Chinese website, but that means no romance whatsoever. BL novels are allowed to end without a CP, despite it being unusual and (depending on the person) unfulfilling.

However, she did rush the ending back in Dec 2021. I read it and it was all over the place. The author has since gone back and fleshed out the ending, as well as giving us some closure through the extras.

    The tournament was only 2 weeks away. Ayden began to teach Akito his sword art. Although he was trained in Kendo, it was harder for him than he thought. His talent was not enough to keep up with the fighters. At least he couldn't use any skills, he had no help from his shadow arm. The plan was that both would make it to the final in the hope that they would go against each other before. But first the arena was examined for weak points and the positions of the important persons were determined. The barrier was strong enough to block Akito's necromancy skill. Besides, it didn't make it easy to maintain his cover. If he were exposed first, it would all be over. But the most important thing was to get through control. Not only the identity was checked, but also the level and the mana stock. If this was too high, you could not participate. The danger is too high that the barrier could be damaged or even destroyed. In addition, Akito was sure that these people would be spied on and that was the last thing he wanted. That's why he needed a so-called limiter.

    "Boys! I'll just tell them that you'll think it over. You have until Saturday to decide. Now please calm down, sit down and allow me to teach the class and then you can argue about this. But for what it's worth, Gus, i think you should go, but of course that's your decision. Im not gonna force you."
