Yaya had died.
Committed suicide.
This person, whom he’d had no blood relation towards -whom he’d called ‘elder sister’ for many years, was all too suddenly gone. She left for him not just a considerable sum of inheritance but also–a child.
That year he’d been just 19 years old, still a child himself, and yet all of a sudden was in charge of the welfare of a 15 year old youth.
This child was not bothersome, he had none of the impatience or rebelliousness characteristic of adolescents.
He had an extremely high IQ, paired with a stability and maturity far past his physical age.
Be it in daily living or academics, there was not a thing he had to worry about with the boy, he was able to keep the house in order all on his own.
But, the more he got to know the boy, the more he realized how frightening this child’s many intentions were.
He wanted to change his mind, could he just take the money and not the person?

I just finished reading Additional Inheritance and it was a fun ride! I picked it up because I wanted to fill in the gaps from the previous two books in the series, Sissy and Winner Takes All. This time, we get to see the story through Adrian's eyes, and I have to say, his character was a riot. He was funny and cool, but also naive to the point of frustration. However, his character development was fantastic. He really grew a brain! It was hilarious to see him mature and become more self-aware.
As much as I enjoyed Adrian's character, I have to admit that Luo Yi stole the show for me. He was such an intriguing character with a bizarre way of thinking that I couldn't help but be drawn to him. I just wish we had gotten more of his point of view to fully understand him. Unfortunately, his father was just as puzzling, and even after the story ended, I still couldn't grasp his motivations for his actions. Both father and son were mentally unstable, making it impossible to empathize with them.
While the story did lose me halfway through, I still soldiered on and was rewarded with some intense angst between Luo Yi and Adrian. The pain and fear were palpable, and I couldn't help but tear up during their separation. The love and hate relationship between them was a rollercoaster ride, and even though there were some plot holes, I'm glad I stuck it out to the end.
The extras after the main story were a nice touch, especially Qin Zi Jiao & Luo Rui's story. It was so good that it could have passed as a short story on its own. I only wish the author would write a novel just for them, but I know that's just wishful thinking.
Overall, Additional Inheritance was an enjoyable read that had its ups and downs. It may not have blown me away, but I'm glad I gave it a chance.

¡Primera novela de Shuida que leo! Bueno, ¿por dónde comenzar? En términos generales me parece que está bastante bien, es rápida de leer y sabe como engancharte. Sin embargo, siento que pudo ser mucho mejor y no pude evitar sentirme algo decepcionada.
Lo que más destaco es como la autora logra plasmar como es una relación tóxica que se sienta real, en este tipo de historias siempre se romantizan (lo cual no es problema para mí, mientras más tóxico mejor 😋) pero es un aire fresco y un golpe de realidad por así decirlo.
Pero al estar tan limitados a la perspectiva de WXH, siento que le resta a la historia; como si todo lo interesante pasara detrás de cámaras y eso lo hizo algo aburrido.
El romance tampoco fue de mis favoritos, sinceramente se sentía bastante unilateral (por lo menos después de ya saben que) y no estoy segura de si quería que terminasen juntos o no. No culpo a Luo Yi por obsesionarse, al final fue la única persona decente en su vida.
Cada una de las acciones de Luo Yi estarían paso a paso en una guía para reconocer que estás en una relación abusiva y me alegro de que tanto WXH y sus cercanos son capaces de reconocerlo y hacer lo correcto: ayudarlo a alejarse de Luo Yi. La autora realmente logro que en ciertos momentos Luo Yi me diera miedo, así que wow. Y aún así, es de los que mejores a tratado a su pareja (???
Hablando de Luo Yi, él es mi personaje favorito y el que sin duda hace la novela. Es un psicópata y una 🚩 andante, pero es difícil no tenerle cariño y algo de lástima al niño. Es un chico al que todos los adultos a su alrededor le fallaron, es fácil hecharle toda la culpa al niño y tacharlo de ser un monstruo/demonio y lavarse las manos. No quiero decir que este libre de culpa, al final él tomó sus propias decisiones, pero no se sorprendan por las consecuencias.
Por lo anterior odie, ODIE, que WXH excusara tanto a Yaya. Yaya fue una víctima, pero también fue negligente y una mala madre. Y la responsable de meter a WXH al baile; seamos sinceros si mi madre le dejara toda su herencia a un tipo desconocido también me enojaría.
Ok, en cuanto a WXH… no puedo decir mucho la verdad. Sus reacciones son las que toda persona real tendría, así que no lo culpo por como actuó, es eso… una persona normal y ya.
En realidad, puedo seguir hablando sobre los personajes y otras cosas, pero siento que me alargaría demasiado.
Aunque parezca que me quejo demasiado, la disfrute.

4.75 / 5: On that winter's day, they hugged each other on the snowy street to share warmth, without regard for others. In that moment, the warmth and tenderness dispelled the chill of the winter night, and the heat generated immediately melted the snowflakes covering their bodies. It also purged the lies between them and the frostiness from their past.
Old habits die hard, so don't look back. Some feelings are tough to reconcile, don't force it. One of life's greatest blessings is to join hands and finish the journey together. After all, you'll still have the chance to create fresh memories.
Wen Xiaohui whispered into Luo Yi's ear. "I'm really happy too."
short note. at the end of the day, despite all the pain & heartbreak between luowen (the main couple), this author managed to still make me root for them in a way that are my feelings to accept and that’s completely okay!! their relationship is twisted as hell, but the feelings conveyed between them are nowhere near superficial, so it made their story more compelling.
now to more details!!
the thrilling aspects of this novel that are considered to be a bit much for other readers didn’t weigh down my reading experience, personally. it added more to the angst that takes up 95% of the main story, which is the reason why my rating is so technical because it was a lot. but the softness in which the author portrayed wen xiaohui’s character and the people he’s connected to made all the suffering feel more than just for kicks.
it broke him down to pieces and reshaped his once-naive way of looking out at the world. he changes in ways that hurts everyone who cares for him, including luo yi (who is the major cause of all that hurt), but then he evolves to have a more developed view of the epic romance he’s always yearned for and the life & career he wishes to have, which was soooooo good. the love he originally sought for ended up ruining him in indescribable ways, and yet when luo yi continued to circle around him as if he was the center of his orbit (which he was, indeed), it wasn’t a matter of simply giving in, but realizing that when true love finds you (no matter how twisted), you can’t run away from it forever.
it has a really dark connotation to it bc it makes it seem that wen xiaohui was given no choice in anything, but it’s…really much more complicated. he’s not some weakling. he isn’t someone you can just push over and he’ll be damned if he lets anyone think they can just walk over him, and that includes the love of his life. this is thanks to how his mom raised him and continues to support him, and it makes me so emotional every time i think about it 😭 the network of friends & family that wen xiaohui has is pretty small but they’re so profound, they have such a huge presence in this story—this includes his best friend, luo rui, who is an absolute sweetheart.
in all the chaos and drama that happens, there’s nothing that grounds wen xiaohui more than his mom & best friend, and that’s why all the angst in this story didn’t feel exploitative. he has so many people who care for him, and one of them happens to be deeply …..questionable. to some readers, luo yi is a sociopath; to others, he’s a psychopath. i don’t know nearly enough about these mental health conditions to be certain about labeling him either, but what i do know is that he’s not simply morally grey. he’s very possessive, controlling, ruthless, conniving, and deceitful. the one weakness he really has is wen xiaohui, and that doesn’t come across as cheesy at all, it’s….actually really sad seeing how at loss he becomes when his ruthless ways tear wen xiaohui apart.
luo yi is younger than him and it’s in this way that it really shows bc he has a very surface level of thinking on the ways he can keep wen xiaohui close to him. when those ways don’t work, he’s so confused & conflicted, it would be absolutely funny if it wasn’t so sad. they develop this indescribable bond when they first meet and wen xiaohui puts so much trust in him, and then when luo yi pulls a big stunt, all that trust just completely breaks.
in the aftermath, you don’t just watch wen xiaohui try to pick himself back up from the debris, but you see luo yi have to confront what all those years they spent together were really for. how can he make up for all the hurt he’s caused in a way that’s different from the methods he’s relied on all his life?
both of these characters absolutely go through it and it’s a really tough journey to follow, but i wouldn’t trade it for anything else. they’re so fucking flawed and complex, i absolutely loved it and it made me love the sweet moments they have all the more.
this includes the extras!! i loved loved loved the extras. extra #5 with the Qixi Festival showed a little glimpse of our ensemble cast in a setting where no one has knives pointed at each other, which really meant a lot for me to see. and i know it certainly means even more to wen xiaohui.
apparently this book is part of a big series called ‘188’ (title in reference to a certain character type of the love interests) and at first, i wasn’t really interested in exploring much of it. but then nearing the end of this story, i became curious how some of the characters we meet find their twisted happily ever after.
we’ll see where my mood goes, but all in all!! great way to start my reading year (with some good ole’ emotional trauma).
i do seriously adore wen xiaohui & luo yi….like a lot. for anyone who’s read svsss, it’ll make a lot more sense when i tell you that luo binghe & shen yuan are my all-time favorite ship. so….yeah!!
i really hope this review made sense :’)

★★ / 2.5 stars
Opinión 100% subjetiva, contiene spoilers de la novela. No se guíen de mi reseña como algo afirmativo, sé que cada lector percibe de manera diferente al leer la novela, no todo el mundo tendrá el mismo pensamiento. Continuamos de lo que pienso de Herencia Adicional.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Non-con, Dub-con, Arresto domiciliario, Manipulación, Dependencia Emocional.
Etiquetas: Nianxia, Tío (Shou) x Sobrino adoptivo (Gong), Sangre de Perro, Vientre Negro.
Aunque en la carrd dice "dub-con", supuse que era necesario agregar el non-con/rape puesto que la primera vez del LuoWen es non-con, porque Adri estaba borracho y creyó que tuvo relaciones sexuales con Li Shuo (estaba decepcionado, pero se lo guardó para el mismo), resulta que en realidad fue Luo Yi. Para mí, una persona borracha o drogada no puede consentir a tener relaciones sexuales y por ende sea violación.
Oficialmente, terminé otra novela de Shuida, supongo que es la séptima novela del 188 group que termino.
Aquí algunas calificaciones, ya que no agregué todas en goodreads, tenía planeado hacerlo una vez que lo relea 😅
1. Winner tales all [Li Shuo y Zhao Jinxin] (3.5 stars)
2. Professional Body Double [Zhou Xiang y Yan Mingxiu] (3.2 stars)
3. Years of Intoxication [He Gu y Song Juhan] (2.0 stars)
4. In Love with an Idiot [Li Yu y Jian Suiying] (3.5 stars)
5. Beloved Enemy [Gu Qingpei y Yuan Yang] (3.0 stars)
6. Sissy [Shao Qun y Li Chengxiu] (3.0 stars)
7. Additional Inheritance [Luo Yi y Wen Xiaohui] (2.5 stars)
Llevo casi un año leyendo Herencia Adicional, a la par con la traducción y recién se me ocurrió terminarlo para marcar como "READ" en goodreads. Tenía muchas expectativas en la novela de Adrian, después de leer Sissy y Winner. Pero siempre tengo que recordar que nunca debo tener expectativas porque nunca se cumplen y termino muy decepcionada.
Pues, terminé desilusionada, además recordar de que la personalidad cambian ligeramente en sus propias historias, pues pasó lo mismo con Li Shuo, Shao Qun, Wen Xiaohui, etc. Lo menciono, porque una mutual me lo dijo hace años, no lo había entendido hasta que leí la historia de Adrian y Luo Yi.
Sé que muchas aman Herencia Adicional, sobre todo a Luo Yi, yo también creí que iba a amar a Luo Yi, a diferencia de Li Yu que me dio igual toda la novela y terminé amándolo, Luo Yi no fue así, dudo que los extras lo compensen ese hueco. No soy fan de los extras finales a menos de que ame mucho a la pareja y hacer excepciones.
La premisa es muy interesante, presenta a un chico gay de 19 años que se entera de que su hermana adoptiva "Ya Ya" murió, y le dejó un testamento para que críe a su único hijo "Luo Yi" y que le dejaría una parte de la herencia cuando el sobrino que nunca supo su existencia, cumpla la mayoría de edad.
Más o menos puedes ver que es resumen coincide con el título de la novela, que bien podría engañarte.
La escritura de Shui Qian Cheng es muy fácil de leer y atrapar al lector por tener a un gong majestuoso e inteligente. Es muy importante saber que al inicio el gong siempre tiene planes maliciosos y finge ser una buena persona. Es la calma antes de que haya tormenta. Nuestro protagonista es Wen Xiaohui, un joven que trabaja en una peluquería y durante su camino, amplía su círculo para ascender lo más rápido posible y tener una vida despreocupada.
Wen Xiaohui es un chico muy alegre y protector, nunca se calla, siempre está en constante movimiento, no le gusta estar de vago, siempre se arregla para verse lo más joven posible. También es un influencer en Weibo al compartir sobre maquillaje 💄 Wen Xiaohui tiene un gran talento en eso, y para ellos encontrará obstáculos, eso es en parte la trama secundaria.
Su vida cambia para siempre desde que conoce a Luo Yi, al inicio eran buenos familiares y amigos que se apoyaban entre sí, anque Luo Yi tenía 15 años y Wen Xiaohui con 19 años, no ha sucedido nada sexual hasta que el ML tenga 18 años, y tampoco es que Adrian lo haya esperado, puesto que su deber era cuidarlo y nunca doblarlo (ser gay).
La novela solo se ve desde el POV de Adri, no podemos conocer al 100% a Luo Yi, nuestro gong más joven de 188 (junto a Li Yu de EDUI (??) que es un puto genio en todos los sentidos, hasta tiene una habitación donde se puede ver muchos premios que ha ganado a lo largo de su vida. Parece tener una vida perfecta sin manchas, no obstante, es mucho más solitario de lo que es y usa eso a su beneficio para cumplir sus metas.
Él es como un acosador de primera clase, vigilando a su presa, Wen Xiaohui solo era un paso para cumplir con su venganza, donde había un resultado, si ganaba o moría en ello, Luo Yi estaba preparado para todo, solo había un error en sus cálculos.
"Enamorarse de Wen Xiaohui"
No tuvo peros en romperle el corazón de Adrian cuando supo que le había quitado toda la herencia, y ahí comienza la decadencia de Wen Xiaohui por dar todo de sí mismo a un hombre que ni siquiera conocía. Todo era falso, incluso el amor que le profesaba era solo parte de su plan. Suceden muchas cosas y luego comienza el "Persiguiendo a la esposa en el crematorio", aunque no necesariamente sufre, puesto que él nunca se arrepiente de sus decisiones por la carencia de emociones. Tiene el cliché de "pasado triste" por lo que tiene tendencias psicópatas, y se entiende sus motivos por la cual quiere vengarse del hombre que violentaba a su madre.
Personalmente, para mi Luo Yi es un personaje sumamente plano (me recuerda mucho a Asher, y eso se reduce a ser solo un interés amoroso con un pasado triste), insulso, sin gracia, en conclusión, entra en mi lista de los top 3 de las escorias de shuida que odio.
La ventaja es que Shui Qian Cheng nunca lo romantiza, él seguirá siendo un psicópata que se modera y finge ser una persona normal para Adrian. Hasta le daría el título de Emperador del Cine, porque sabe actuar muy bien, que es fácil que llegue a manipularte.
Eso quiere decir que al igual que las demás novelas, el shou perdona al gong cuando termina en UCI, no tiene otra opción que perdonarlo porque logró su objetivo, y además no olvidemos la dependencia emocional que tenía Adrian por Luo Yi. Simplemente, se resigna a ser feliz en lugar de complicarse la vida. Eso son los mensajes que deja Shuida, que ningún gong consigue una redención, si no usa la manipulación para que los perdone.
Eso es básicamente un resumen de la novela donde omití muchas cosas, por lo que recomiendo leer la novela para tener una mejor comprensión de la historia.
Ahora creo que es hora de dar mi opinión sobre la trama y los desarrollos de los personajes:
Les juro que Herencia Adicional estaba muy adictiva, y a la mitad de la historia se me hizo zzzzzz y más porque Luo Yi me hacía dormir en vivo, era muy estático, sin flow, si pudiera, no existe Luo Yi para mí. La trama ya se me hizo muy predecible y por la fórmula que ejecuta la autora, ya no esperaba algo que me sorprendiera. Wen Xiaohui me desesperaba algunas veces y no lo comprendía, ya que durante su camino se perdió a sí mismo aislándose por culpa de Luo Yi.
Sobre los personajes secundarios, VENI AQUÍ, QUIERO ABRAZARLOS Y PROTEGERLOS DEL MAL DE LOS PINCHES ESCORIAS DE MIERDA. Me vale si amo a Jinxin, fue un hijo de puta. Li Shuo, yo te amo, y en Herencia fuiste usado como carne de cañón para que Luo Yi se pusiera celoso.
Li Shuo se enfrentó a tres escorias (Shao Qun, Luo Yi y Jinxin), es obvio que iba a ser lastimado durante el proceso hasta el punto de sentirse escéptico. Li Shuo es muy amable por naturaleza, y en su historia se puede conocer a fondo al dulce Li Shushu, amigo de Xiaohui y Chengxiu.
El ganso tiene un rol secundario en Herencia, fue el ex-jefe de Adi, también estaba involucrado en cosas ilegales con Luo Yi, y al final se ve siendo un marido amable con su pareja. Eso no me lo trago de ninguna manera porque soy la mayor hater de Shao Qun y la defensora de Li Chengxiu. Puede que el Qunxiu sea canon, no quita que Chengxiu aún desconfíe del ganso.
Luo Rui, el mejor amigo de Xiaohui, amo mucho a este pequeñin y tímido pastelero, siempre estuvo para Xiaohui junto a Li Shuo, pese a que le haya gritado, se preocupa sinceramente por su amigo que lo ayudó en sus momentos difíciles y él también quiere ser su soporte en su decepción amorosa.
Como está al inicio, si no se cumplen mis expectativas, dudo que me recupere de ello, por ello le puse 2.5 stars, porque soy fan de shuida y amé a los personajes secundarios. Casi lloro por Chengxiu. Pero eso si, nunca voy a volver a releer y menos si no me gusta una cp como LuoWen, de verdad como pareja me hacía dormir en vivo.
[...] tanto los sentimientos de Shao Qun por Chengxiu como los de Luo Yi por ti son muy intensos y profundos. Sin embargo, esos sentimientos son como cuchillos de doble filo, llenos de locura y paranoia, ¿Cómo podía perder ante esos sentimientos irracionales? Yo…” Li Shuo sonrió para sí mismo finalmente solo pudo decir, “Lo admito, soy un poco incrédulo”.
Li Shuo hablando sobre el amor obsesivo que tiene Shao Qun y Luo Yi, y lo entiende más a Adrian porque él pasó por lo mismo cuando conoció a Zhao Jinxin.

La premisa es muy interesante, presenta a un chico gay de 19 años que se entera de que su hermana adoptiva "Ya Ya" murió, y le dejó un testamento para que críe a su único hijo "Luo Yi" y que le dejaría una parte de la herencia cuando el sobrino que nunca supo su existencia, cumpla la mayoría de edad.
Más o menos puedes ver que es resumen coincide con el título de la novela, que bien podría engañarte.
1. Es una novela de gouxie (sangre de perro).
2. Luo Yi es uno de los integrantes del grupo 188男团.
3. Todo se siente muy irrealista, como si todo fuera planeado.
La escritura de Shui Qian Cheng es muy fácil de leer y atrapar al lector por tener a un gong majestuoso e inteligente. Es muy importante saber que al inicio el gong siempre tiene planes maliciosos y finge ser una buena persona. Es la calma antes de que haya tormenta. Nuestro protagonista es Wen Xiaohui, un joven que trabaja en una peluquería y durante su camino, amplía su círculo para ascender lo más rápido posible y tener una vida despreocupada.
Wen Xiaohui es un chico muy alegre y protector, nunca se calla, siempre está en constante movimiento, no le gusta estar de vago, siempre se arregla para verse lo más joven posible. También es un influencer en Weibo al compartir sobre maquillaje 💄 Wen Xiaohui tiene un gran talento en eso, y para ellos encontrará obstáculos, eso es en parte la trama secundaria.
Su vida cambia para siempre desde que conoce a Luo Yi, al inicio eran buenos familiares y amigos que se apoyaban entre sí, anque Luo Yi tenía 15 años y Wen Xiaohui con 19 años, no ha sucedido nada sexual hasta que el ML tenga 18 años, y tampoco es que Adrian lo haya esperado, puesto que su deber era cuidarlo y nunca doblarlo (ser gay).
La novela solo se ve desde el POV de Adri, no podemos conocer al 100% a Luo Yi, nuestro gong más joven de 188 (junto a Li Yu de EDUI (??) que es un puto genio en todos los sentidos, hasta tiene una habitación donde se puede ver muchos premios que ha ganado a lo largo de su vida. Parece tener una vida perfecta sin manchas, no obstante, es mucho más solitario de lo que es y usa eso a su beneficio para cumplir sus metas.
Él es como un acosador de primera clase, vigilando a su presa, Wen Xiaohui solo era un paso para cumplir con su venganza, donde había un resultado, si ganaba o moría en ello, Luo Yi estaba preparado para todo, solo había un error en sus cálculos.
"Enamorarse de Wen Xiaohui"
No tuvo peros en romperle el corazón de Adrian cuando supo que le había quitado toda la herencia, y ahí comienza la decadencia de Wen Xiaohui por dar todo de sí mismo a un hombre que ni siquiera conocía. Todo era falso, incluso el amor que le profesaba era solo parte de su plan. Suceden muchas cosas y luego comienza el "Persiguiendo a la esposa en el crematorio", aunque no necesariamente sufre, puesto que él nunca se arrepiente de sus decisiones por la carencia de emociones. Tiene el cliché de "pasado triste" por lo que tiene tendencias psicópatas, y se entiende sus motivos por la cual quiere vengarse del hombre que violentaba a su madre.
Luo Rui le agarró la mano, con los ojos llenos de tristeza: “Xiaohui, no puedes dejarlo ir, ¿verdad?”
Xiaohui susurró: “Luo Rui, no sé qué decirte… si una persona se lanzara a la muerte y volviera a la vida para estar contigo, haciendo muchas, muchas peripecias que nadie más podría hacerlas en toda su vida, ¿cómo te sentirías?”
Luo Rui se quedó atónito: “Si fuera tú, estaría muerto de miedo”.
“¿Además de tener miedo?”
Luo Rui pensó por un momento: “Ni idea”.
“Tampoco tengo idea, pero una cosa que sí sé y, es que probablemente estaré atado a él por resto de mi vida”.
El corazón de Luo Rui se hundió: “Xiaohui…”
Personalmente, para mi Luo Yi es un personaje sumamente plano (me recuerda mucho a Asher, y eso se reduce a ser solo un interés amoroso con un pasado triste), insulso, sin gracia, en conclusión, entra en mi lista de los top 3 de las escorias de shuida que odio.
La ventaja es que Shui Qian Cheng nunca lo romantiza, él seguirá siendo un psicópata que se modera y finge ser una persona normal para Adrian. Hasta le daría el título de Emperador del Cine, porque sabe actuar muy bien, que es fácil que llegue a manipularte.
Eso quiere decir que al igual que las demás novelas, el shou perdona al gong cuando termina en UCI, no tiene otra opción que perdonarlo porque logró su objetivo, y además no olvidemos la dependencia emocional que tenía Adrian por Luo Yi. Simplemente, se resigna a ser feliz en lugar de complicarse la vida. Eso son los mensajes que deja Shuida, que ningún gong consigue una redención, si no usa la manipulación para que los perdone.
Eso es básicamente un resumen de la novela donde omití muchas cosas, por lo que recomiendo leer la novela para tener una mejor comprensión de la historia.
Ahora creo que es hora de dar mi opinión sobre la trama y los desarrollos de los personajes:
Les juro que Herencia Adicional estaba muy adictiva, y a la mitad de la historia se me hizo zzzzzz y más porque Luo Yi me hacía dormir en vivo, era muy estático, sin flow, si pudiera, no existe Luo Yi para mí. La trama ya se me hizo muy predecible y por la fórmula que ejecuta la autora, ya no esperaba algo que me sorprendiera. Wen Xiaohui me desesperaba algunas veces y no lo comprendía, ya que durante su camino se perdió a sí mismo aislándose por culpa de Luo Yi.
Sobre los personajes secundarios, VENI AQUÍ, QUIERO ABRAZARLOS Y PROTEGERLOS DEL MAL DE LOS PINCHES ESCORIAS DE MIERDA. Me vale si amo a Jinxin, fue un hijo de puta. Li Shuo, yo te amo, y en Herencia fuiste usado como carne de cañón para que Luo Yi se pusiera celoso.
Li Shuo se enfrentó a tres escorias (Shao Qun, Luo Yi y Jinxin), es obvio que iba a ser lastimado durante el proceso hasta el punto de sentirse escéptico. Li Shuo es muy amable por naturaleza, y en su historia se puede conocer a fondo al dulce Li Shushu, amigo de Xiaohui y Chengxiu.
El ganso tiene un rol secundario en Herencia, fue el ex-jefe de Adi, también estaba involucrado en cosas ilegales con Luo Yi, y al final se ve siendo un marido amable con su pareja. Eso no me lo trago de ninguna manera porque soy la mayor hater de Shao Qun y la defensora de Li Chengxiu. Puede que el Qunxiu sea canon, no quita que Chengxiu aún desconfíe del ganso.
Luo Rui, el mejor amigo de Xiaohui, amo mucho a este pequeñin y tímido pastelero, siempre estuvo para Xiaohui junto a Li Shuo, pese a que le haya gritado, se preocupa sinceramente por su amigo que lo ayudó en sus momentos difíciles y él también quiere ser su soporte en su decepción amorosa.
Como está al inicio, si no se cumplen mis expectativas, dudo que me recupere de ello, por ello le puse 2.5 stars, porque soy fan de shuida y amé a los personajes secundarios. Casi lloro por Chengxiu. Pero eso si, nunca voy a volver a releer y menos si no me gusta una cp como LuoWen, de verdad como pareja me hacía dormir en vivo.
Espero leer pronto las demás novelas para completarlas <3
PD. Me preocupa que los ultimos danmei que leí tengan dos estrellas.

3.5/5 ☆.
Honestamente pensé que me iba a gustar más que Winner Takes All, pero siento que le guardo más cariño a la historia de Li Shuo y Zhao Jinxin.
Y, bueno, ¿qué decir de este libro? Es el segundo que leo de la serie 188男团. Ya me habían advertido que Luo Yi era un psicópata; no obstante, su nivel de demencia rebasó mis expectativas. Nunca había leído a un personaje tan desquiciado (a nivel romántico, al menos). Recuerdo que estuve tan en shock con lo que le hizo a Adi que le conté como a cinco personas diferentes porque simplemente no me lo podía creer. ¿Y lo triste? QUE YO LO VI VENIR. Lo dije de broma en Twitter. Luego entendí porque una mutual me llamó bruja. ☠️
Aspectos que puedo destacar del libro:
♤ Se me hizo interesante ver cómo Wen Xiaohui iba avanzando dentro del mundo de la moda. La autora logró proyectar bien cada una de sus dificultades hasta lograr ser un estilista de renombre.
♤ La presencia de la madre de Wen Xiaohui. Esa señora siempre apoyó a su hijo y estuvo ahí para él en su momento más difícil.
♤ El misterio alrededor de la familia de Luo Yi y del mismo Luo Yi. Las 🚩 estaban ahí, ya era cosa tuya si las querías ver o no.
That's it.

要被水大迷住了，不对，我已经被迷得不要不要了。虽然花的时间有些长，但和娘娘腔不一样，这篇文很成功的吸引我的注意力。从头看到尾真的是废寝忘食的看（打工仔的悲剧，不能连贯的看）但能在一夜之间从33章看到最后一章，就已经证明了我对这片文的爱。明明同样是渣攻，但‘洛 奥斯卡影帝 全能天才 完美少年 羿’ 让我感受到了什么是：‘爱在心口难开，帮我爱的人把我自己给卖了还帮他数钱的幸福’ 的这件事，当然不只这点， 咱们洛影帝从短短的相遇开始就不断的让我汗毛直立（细思极恐），有让我正视‘年龄真的只是数字’这个问题。
要说这篇文我为何如此喜欢呢？首先就是对于主角与配角的描写，明明是和娘娘腔的线路搭在一起却一点bug都没有。而且一个配角在另一个角色的视角里有着完全不同的诠释。更别说主角心理戏的描写了，水大很成功的描写了一个反社会人格的心路历程。洛大佬在这篇文中的一系列操作给我带来的感受首先是仰慕，羡慕，爱慕 然后是怀疑，敬畏，恶心 谁知到了最后又会给我畏惧，恐惧，惊悚，惊喜，怜悯，爱慕这么大个反转...
只顾着说洛大了（因为这人角色魅力确实很大）来说说小辉哥，小辉哥，我是多么的爱他，就如罗睿宝贝一样爱他。简直想把他捏进我心里好好的护着。这人，要说娘呢，是真娘（跟程秀比起来真的娘了许多）， 但要说性格强度，嗯，小辉哥太坚强了。 秀秀因为没有家人所以不需要顾忌的搬家，但小辉哥不行，他不能就这么消失。他虽然娘，但小辉哥他担当的起！小辉哥也是真男人！每次看到小辉哥的经历，我就害怕的不得了， 要是我遇上了洛大佬，我应该不会像他那样坚持下去（可能直接逃避人生去了）。要说这年代还有谁能活得跟小辉哥一样正直又聪明？！反正我羡慕
黎大哥呢，在这片能更加的体会到黎大哥的迷人之处，怎么就偏偏碰上甜心了呢...（还没看呢），唉... 说来也怪，前一篇一直希望是BE，这一篇却不管洛大佬多渣还是希望是HE... 即使开始就知道他渣， 我还是一直期望着的他们的HE... 只能说明，我确实比起娘娘腔， 更喜欢这篇
现在要看灰大叔与混血王子，两个人都是长在我审美观上了，只能希望我会享受新的这篇文～

English: Additional Inheritance
I've been a bit hesitant to start reading any novels by this author, since they're usually pretty dark and I've heard the MLs are kinda crazy. I finally bit the bullet and decided to try this one since it didn't sound as bad, and honestly I found myself enjoying it more than expected. There was so much angst between the MC and ML, and at one point, I was wondering how the MC could ever trust the ML again, so I'm really happy it was a happy ending.
The story follows our MC, Wen Xiaohui. One day, he's told out of the blue that his adopted older sister, who has been estranged from the family, committed suicide and asked that he take care of her son, Luo Yi. Wen Xiaohui is just 18 or 19 at this point, and Luo Yi is only 3 years younger than him, so WXH definitely doesn't feel qualified to be guardian, especially not to someone as brilliant as Luo Yi, who has perfect grades and excels in pretty much every hobby he picks up. But once he meets Luo Yi, he takes pity on him and his sad past, and decides to give guardianship a try.
Initially their relationship is pretty normal, and they interact as friends more than guardian/mentor. They watch TV and play games together, and sometimes Wen Xiaohui will stay over with Luo Yi when he works night shifts so Luo Yi isn't alone all the time in his big villa.
However, Wen Xiaohui notices that the people around him who either insult him or cause problems for him all run into trouble one by one. For example, another apprentice hairdresser who looks down on WXH and has attitude with him gets his affair with a married man exposed to the wife who's being cheated on and is beaten up by her hired help in front of everyone at the salon.
Eventually Wen Xiaohui realizes that Luo Yi has a dark side to him, and that he's willing to go to any lengths for his goals, which initially is to protect WXH. Luo Yi honestly doesn't care about what's right or wrong or whether he's doing anything immoral against the law, as long as he accomplishes his goal in the end. Wen Xiaohui forgives Luo Yi's actions this time around, since even though they're wrong, they're coming from a place of concert for WXH, but this kind of sets the tone for the rest of the story.
**Warning: Spoilers Ahead**
I feel like so much of the story follows the format of Luo Yi does something wrong -> Wen Xiaohui finds out and eventually forgives him and gives him another chance -> Luo Yi does something even worse next time to betray WXH. It was a whole cycle that kept on repeating itself over and over until the end. I felt really bad for WXH, who starts out as a lighthearted and happy go lucky guy who's vain and loves sharing selfies on his social media, as he slowly transforms into someone who's always tired and doesn't care about his appearance anymore, all because of Luo Yi. It was a bit hard to read at times.
The relationship itself is so toxic. They have this strong and very unhealthy emotional co-interdependence on each other other, and it's hard for a third party to butt into it. I was actually rooting for Li Shuo, the second male lead, because he just seems like a much healthier alternative to Luo Yi, even as I knew it wouldn't work out with him. And even if it didn't work out with Li Shuo, I was also hoping Wen Xiaohui could somehow run away from Luo Yi's influence and live his life independently with a normal nice guy.
Luo Yi does so much to manipulate Wen Xiaohui it's painful to read. He's definitely one of the scummiest gongs I've read, which is as expected since that's what this author is known for. From the beginning, he was buttering up Wen Xiaohui and building up this relationship with him for 3 years purely to get his hands on his mom's inheritance of ~300 million, which was actually left to WXH and not Luo Yi as WXH was led to believe. He's constantly monitoring WXH's actions by wiretapping his phone calls and putting listening devices on his body so he knows everything that WXH is planning. If that's not being overcontrolling to an obsessive degree, then I don't know what is. And as soon as WXH is done being useful to him, he immediately distances himself and only comes back to the relationship when he realizes he needs something else from WXH.
I think even Luo Yi himself didn't realize the feelings he was slowly developing for Wen Xiaohui. At the beginning, WXH was indeed a means to an end for him. But slowly, as they spent time together and Wen Xiaohui treated him wholeheartedly (and was the first person to do so in his life), he grew this dependence on WXH that he didn't even realize until it was too late and he had already betrayed WXH as part of his plan. A small part of the story is told from Luo Yi's perspective, and there are some scenes near the end where he thinks about whether he regrets how he treated the MC, so that at least tells me that he's thinking about it rather than being completely emotionless and detached.
It takes Luo Yi's death for Wen Xiaohui to really snap and realize that he can't free himself from Luo Yi in life or death. So he'd rather choose to have Luo Yi alive and well so they can spend the rest of their lives together, healthy or not. There was so much angst in the middle part of the story, so I'm glad we got some sweetness again at the end. I had almost given up on a truly happy ending by that point.
The beginning of the song "i hate u i love u" describe their relationship so perfectly:
Feeling used, but I'm still missing you
And I can't see the end of this
Just wanna feel your kiss against my lips
And now all this time is passing by
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you
Realize how much I need you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put nobody else above you
There's sooooo much angst in this story. Example #1:
"I'm sorry I've been lying to you. You're more innocent than I imagined." Luo Yi approached a step at a time. "At the very beginning, all I wanted from you was the inheritance. Afterwards, I wanted your smile, your loving care, your body, and then your heart." Luo Yi forced Wen Xiaohui into a corner, then he easily caught Wen Xiaohui's punch. He bent over and trapped Wen Xiaohui between himself and the wall, staring at him without blinking, with eyes as deep as the ocean. His voice was neither fast nor slow, but it delivered a direct blow to his heart. "You asked me many times which is the real me. I'm telling you, the person you're seeing now is the real me - it's genuinely the real me. I want all of you. Don't think of leaving me even if you hate me."
Wen Xiaohui's eyes widened. The red blood vessels were like veins of poison spreading to his pitch-black pupils. He glared at Luo Yi as if he'd seen a demon.
Luo Yi pinched his chin and gave him a peck on his lips. "As long as you wish, I'm willing to pretend to be whoever you like."
Wen Xiaohui swung his arm to give him a heavy slap across the face.
Luo Yi turned his head as his eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow along his eye sockets.
Wen Xiaohui's hands shook. "Bastard." He couldn't believe that he once loved a youth named Luo Yi - that youth was gentle, considerate, and cheerful but it was all an illusion created by a demon. He never existed.
His love died with the illusion.
----------
Example #2
Luo Yi hugged him tightly as he sobbed, "What should I do then? Tell me what I should say or what I should do, so you'll forgive me. Don't make me leave that's the only thing I won't do." Luo Yi clearly had Wen Xiaohui confined in his arms, but he felt as though there were ten thousand crags and torrents separating them. He used to think that clever people would have a way of solving problems, so why did he feel so helpless when it came to this? The sand flowed out of his hand faster, the tighter he squeezed his fist. Seeing Wen Xiaohui in a daze every day, he no longer knew how to describe the suffering in his heart.
Wen Xiaohui closed his eyes. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and it seemed as if his legs had sprouted roots - he was unable to move.
"I'm sorry, Xiaohui-ge. I'm sorry..." Luo Yi's voice quivered as he added, "Tell me what I should do. I'm willing to do anything and I can give you anything at all."
Wen Xiaohui opened his mouth and croaked, "...Let go."
"Today... It's been five years since I last saw mum." Luo Yi said suddenly.
Wen Xiaohui's heart trembled.
"It was the first time she celebrated Chinese New Year with me. She kept me company from Chinese New Year's Eve until the seventh, then she left and disappeared for nearly a month. When I saw her again, she'd already..." Luo Yi tightened his arms as if it would merge Wen Xiaohui into his own body. "I... I actually have nothing. Everything of importance seems to disappear in the end. That's why I can pledge all I have to take revenge on the person responsible for taking everything away from me. I never thought there would be someone like you, and I didn't realise you'd become so important to me. You're much more important than the goal I was determined to achieve, but I realised too late..."
---------------
Example #3
Wen Xiaohui cried uncontrollably, his tears unleashed his pent up suffering and indignation. Luo Yi's twisted and extreme form of love had taken over his life, leaving him with no room for anyone else, and after all the plotting and lying, he discovered that he didn't even have the energy to be angry. Nobody in this world would hurt him like Luo Yi, but equally, no one would love him in the same way. He hated Luo Yi and also loved him. This once in a lifetime encounter was carved in his bones and engraved in his heart.
He was exhausted. He was too exhausted to figure out who was right and who had gained the upper hand - he only wanted a bit of peace and contentment. He could lead a comfortable life if he relinquished this burden, so he would embrace it even if he felt resigned.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohui-ge. I'm sorry..." Luo Yi's voice quivered as he added, "Tell me what I should do. I'm willing to do anything and I can give you anything at all."
Wen Xiaohui opened his mouth and croaked, "...Let go."
"Today... It's been five years since I last saw mum." Luo Yi said suddenly.
Wen Xiaohui's heart trembled.
"It was the first time she celebrated Chinese New Year with me. She kept me company from Chinese New Year's Eve until the seventh, then she left and disappeared for nearly a month. When I saw her again, she'd already..." Luo Yi tightened his arms as if it would merge Wen Xiaohui into his own body. "I... I actually have nothing. Everything of importance seems to disappear in the end. That's why I can pledge all I have to take revenge on the person responsible for taking everything away from me. I never thought there would be someone like you, and I didn't realise you'd become so important to me. You're much more important than the goal I was determined to achieve, but I realised too late..."
---------------
Example #3
Wen Xiaohui cried uncontrollably, his tears unleashed his pent up suffering and indignation. Luo Yi's twisted and extreme form of love had taken over his life, leaving him with no room for anyone else, and after all the plotting and lying, he discovered that he didn't even have the energy to be angry. Nobody in this world would hurt him like Luo Yi, but equally, no one would love him in the same way. He hated Luo Yi and also loved him. This once in a lifetime encounter was carved in his bones and engraved in his heart.
He was exhausted. He was too exhausted to figure out who was right and who had gained the upper hand - he only wanted a bit of peace and contentment. He could lead a comfortable life if he relinquished this burden, so he would embrace it even if he felt resigned.

After reading Sha Po Lang I decided to go and shop around for a modern-ish danmei because I DO NOT want to think and I wanted one especially with a problematic gong and man did I get one. To my understanding, the 188 group is a series of stand-alone novels that belong to the same universe. All of the gongs (the tops, for you normies) are problematic, unhinged, and insane. Yet that is exactly the charm of these novels.
For more information of the 188 scum gong group, please check out this carrd https://188group.carrd.co/#info
Anyway, what do I think about Additional Inheritance?
I thought it was a fucking romp. At first I felt a little apprehensive because Luo Yi acted normally. He was actually really sweet, filial, and kind. However, he was also acting suspicious as hell, but there was essentially nothing going on for 50 chapters except for some suspicious events here and there. Then the book took a fucking turn and the moment that the *plot* is revealed and you get to see the real Luo Yi, that's when I started to really lock in. This motherfucker is not right in the head. A screw or two is loose in that noggin of his and I love that.
This book is melodramatic and over the top. There are so many messy dramas and twist and turns and it was beautiful. I was promised crazy and I got crazy. I felt quite fulfilled.
Why the 3 stars?
Despite my enjoyment, I can't with full conscience give this more than 3 stars. It was really fun but it was not peak literature. I hope this is understandable enough. I did not hate it, I couldn't stop reading it, it was one of the most fun I've had in a while.
What do I think about the characters?
Aside from Luo Yi, whom I have mentioned as being the crazy bastard & the titular scum gong, we also have Wen Xiaohui as the MC and a couple of side characters who are actually cameos and they have their own books as well.
My first impression of WXH was that he pissed me off a little. I'm not oppose to reading this type of character, but he's a lot. He's shallow, superficial, vain, you name it. He cares a lot about his looks, his weight, how he presents himself to the world. However, along the way I found myself quite rooting for him. He has a sweet side to him, he is kind and helpful to others, he's admitted to himself (and perhaps to us the readers), that he is not a smart guy and he is quite weak, but he was not afraid to throw hands to defend himself and his friends in time of need. He cares about superficial stuff like that time he got kidnapped and got beat up. He cried so much for his nose and the potential of him looking ugly forever. He talked a lot about losing weight and make up and clothes and going shopping. There's not much going on in that head of his and that is fine. It just took a bit for me to get used to.
He was also quite resistant to forgive Luo Yi which I like. He has some spine even though he's weak as hell.
Other characters that I'm rooting for in this book is Li Shuo. That dude is perfect, but to my understanding he's gonna get his own scum gong. Good luck to that guy.
I'm off to read Sissy now. If I'm correct Shao Qun is the most unhinged out of all the gongs and I'm going to enjoy it!!

I was really excited reading AI because the premise and dynamic has been tickling my brain for days. The start was really nice and interesting but ngl it was boring me for some time, until the first revelation. And I was having my own conjectures because of Luo Yi's behaviors but the first revelation at the second half of the book literally pumped blood in my veins and it thrilled me so much I forgot the initial boredom I felt on the first half. And I can feel that everything was fake (aside from Luo Yi's ruthless underhanded behaviors towards people who's a pain in Adi's neck) because it was too good to be true.
I don't really get the hate on Wen Xiaohui tbh. He is vain, shallow, and foolish but he is TRUE. And that's a very commendable trait. I love how he's all shits and giggles, and Luo Yi's all about murder and plotting. I also like that this is pseudo-incest and although the age gap is just minimal, I like that Luo Yi is younger. I really like them! Luo Yi is a great character, and his goals are what makes him so much endearing. He's so true for not prioritizing his love for Wen Xiaohui, and only did so after finally settling his accounts and objectives towards his turbulent upbringing.
And when Chang Xing finally physically entered the stage, it got more interesting. The plot was solid and it was a bit over dramatic but that's a given since that's how SQC writes and I am here for it. Let's hope Yaya rests in peace.
I also want to acknowledge Xiaohui's mum and Luo Rui. They are such wonderful characters, I am so glad they are made. Also, Li Shuo makes me laugh for successfully creating himself as an eyesore not only towards Shao Qun but also Luo Yi. He's lukewarm but not uninteresting. I was also really excited and so happy whenever Li Chengxiu is popping in the chapters, I just love him so much and his bastard princeling of a husband that is Shao Qun. The extras were such a treat! We got to see more facets of Wen Xiaohui and Luo Yi's dynamics. And that one extra where the other three couples were featured was so delightful!
Anyway, everything about this book is such a treat, and I get to still see some of the characters I miss (Li Chengxiu this is you my precious rabbit). And I love how Wen Xiaohui and Luo Yi is devouring each other to the point of bleeding at some point in the novel. They're so feral for each other. It's obvious they're happy and I hope for that until the end of their time!

Creo que de las historias de los 188 esta es mi favorito porque? Porque mi viejo Xiao hui no se dejó por el tonto de Li yu aunque amo como. Nunca pero también a la larga ame a ese loco buenísimo
January 4, 2025
Wen Xiaohui y Luo Yi se convirtieron en mi gusto culposo. No me importa lo que digan los demás, yo los quiero mucho y que se hayan quedado juntos me hizo muy feliz (caí en las garras de Luo Yi).

Additional Inheritance: 5/5
"No one in this world would hurt him like Luo Yi, but no one would love him like Luo Yi."
Oh my god the book was so good. First 188 series and omg I was hooked. Was different from all of the books I read and now I get the hype too😭.
Loved the plot, characters and their redemption. My wen xiaohui little boss baby suffered so much. Also while reading wear your clown outfit,it's a must😭. Overall the book was so good and luo yi you big brained baby.
The book also has a side couple and even their story is so cute. The angst was angsting so well btw had me in tears. I was so hooked, I didn't keep the book down for a minute and omg the plot twists literally got me 😨. Anyway recommending everyone to read this book. I think it's gonna be in my favs list😭.

i once read a short fic with a similar premise so i wasn't really surprised at how well i could handle the toxic codependency of luoyi/xiaohui. i was just MAD that the 2ml is the most perfect gentleman from start to finish but you're telling me he didn't get HIS happy ending????? twice???? absolute cruel. unacceptable. actual rating 2.5 bc as much as i love xiaohui, i thought luoyi didn't really redeem himself until 70% of the novel
edit: i found out that the 2ml in ai is actually a main character in another sqc novel so i will read his story next

Amo la historia amo a adri y a Luo yi ambos se aman y aprenden a estar juntos, se que luo yi es un sociopata que no sentia nada por nadie pero eso fue cambiando gracias a Adri , no lo culpo por las cosas que hizo nunca nadie lo amo es por eso que nunca aprendio a amar
October 15, 2022
10/10 Xiaohui y LuoYi definitivamente son de mis parejas favoritas, como los quiero. Xiaohui sufrió mucho pero al final realmente amo verlos juntos. Aun con todo, LuoYi es de mis gongs favoritos, yo lo amo y lo perdone desde el minuto 1.
December 27, 2021
The only 188 book I've made it till the end. I've just read it because I have any other book to read at the moment. It's good, I guess.

review sin spoilers !
LUO YI TE AMO NO ME IMPORTA LAS VECES QUE ME HAYAS MENTIDO YO TE CREERÉ SIEMPRE
después de esta introducción, empieza mi reseña: shou diseñador y extremadamente gay con pluma que NO puede mantener la boca cerrada (te amo wen xiaohui nunca cambies) x gong que SÍ puede mantenerla cerrada. definitivamente puede!! él es un amor, y necesita amor!!! (what about the people he manipulated? what manipulatiooon?)
un punto muy positivo de esta novela y que espero que se mantenga en el resto de novelas de la autora es lo realistas que son los personajes y sobre todo LAS CONVERSACIONES Y LAS DINÁMICAS QUE TIENEN ENTRE ELLOS se siente como escuchar una conversación ajena real, es tan cercano como si fueras a tomar un café con tu mejor amiga y te contase la conversación más random de su vida, es perfecto!
la pareja principal tiene mucha química, la novela te retransmite el sentimiento de hogar que hace que entiendas por qué ambos personajes acaban volviendo siempre al otro
todas las relaciones que mantiene el protagonista, wen xiaohui, con los personajes secundarios de la novela se hacen también muy realistas y muy buenas, que hace que estés tan pendiente de ellas como de la pareja principal
el protagonista es extremadamente carismático y tiene una personalidad potente (que hace que veas por qué es el brillo de la vida de luo yi), se siente como si tuvieras a sabrina carpenter cantando please please please pero versión twink. ay genuinamente amé leer un personaje tan extremadamente gay y afeminado como protagonista (uno de estos días fui de fiesta y no dejaba de pensar ah,,, él disfrutaría tanto cantar estas canciones de lady gaga conmigo,,)
luo yi me parece un personaje complejo y bien construido, el por qué actúa como actúa se entiende, al igual que se pueden ver sus dilemas internos y lo que es experimentar que alguien lo ame (una versión falsa de él btw! el angst! el drama!) cuando todo el mundo ha sido hostil hasta ese momento. cine. y podemos hablar como este chaval sacaba fuego por la boca cuando hablaba a partir de la mitad de la novela más o menos? yo estaba como woah!!!! cine!!! baja el bolígrafo que está saliendo fuego!!
ahora un par de spoilers :3
TE AMO LI SHUOOOOOOOOO DIOS MIO!!! cuando lo vi como segunda opción yo estaba con miedo de que luo yi no pudiera ponerse a su altura y no entendiera por qué wen xiaohui dejaría a un hombre como él (y en verdad no se puede superar a li shuo. seamos honestos. hasta luo yi dice en los extras que es el hombre perfecto. pero yo entendí que el sentimiento de hogar y comodidad de wen xiaohui solo lo tenía con luo yi y necesitaba la pasión (SUENA THE WAY I LOVED YOU) y esta pasión les pega a ambos personajes. ay los amo). necesito leer urgentemente la novela de li shuo es que nunca pensé que el protagonista podría estar BESANDO a otra persona que no fuera su pareja endgame y yo estaría riendome y suspirando como una colegiada. ah.. de verdad te dicen que li shuo es el hombre perfecto pero también te lo muestran con todo lo que dice y hace. soy simplemente una chica escuchando lana del rey mientras pienso en él...
amé muchísimo la amistad entre los tres shous (li chengxiu, li shuo y wen xiaohui), me da demasiada risa como constantemente se dan consejos y ninguno de los tres lo sigue... es como tu amiga que siempre acaba volviendo con su ex digas lo que digas y siempre tienes que suspirar y seguir la corriente...
en fin te amo luo yi tú y yo contra el mundo

La primera novela del grupo 188 que me gustó completamente xD
Luo Yi mi varón 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻
Ahhhh, lo mejor es encontrar a Kks Qun con el bb Li Chengxiu... Sin contar con los cameos de Li Shuo y ahhhhhh, la pareja secundaria de Luo Rui con Qin Zijiao 😍😍😍
Me encantó 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Esta es la segunda novela que sugiero leer del Grupo 188, la novela de nuestro querido Adi (para aquellos que han leído Sissy, entienden lo de “querido”) y su sobrino... ASI ES, SU SOBRINO! Luo Yi 😶🌫️😶🌫️
Esta historia, como su nombre, comienza por una “Maldita Herencia” 🥲.
Wen Xiaohui, es un estilista/cosmetólogo, más conocido como Adi, quien empieza a trabajar en un salón de renombre, donde se atienden varias estrellas y personajes influyentes. Él cree que este solo el comienzo para poder lograr sus sueños.
Sin embargo, no contaba con que su hermana adoptiva perdida, tomara la decisión de qu1t4rs3 la vida, dejándole una interesante herencia. Todo, con la condición que cuide a su hijo, quien acababa de cumplir 15 años, llamado Damien 👹 ( Nono, es bromita, así como en la profecía 👹). Dado el cariño que sentía hacia su hermana, pues es la mujer que prácticamente lo crió y además que se ocupó de él desde que era un bebé, toma la decisión que hará girar su mundo en 180°.
Luo Yi, el chico de la bicicleta… Ese que, hizo dudar a un Adi de 19 años, al ser atropellado por esa bicicleta, y que al final, termina siendo su sobrino desconocido… Por ello, empieza a conocerlo y aunque él no lo sepa, conforme pasa el tiempo, más desconocido se vuelve… porque Luo Yi es Darks… JAJAJAJA 🌚
Ya, en serio, ese niño está totalmente entregado al lado oscuro de la fuerza, lado que cuando Adi descubre (años después), decide tomar la decisión que todos los shous de los 188 deciden… HUIR (run, Adi, run!!! 💨💨)
Adivinen quién lo ayuda? Por supuesto que nuestro queridísimo y adorado Li Shuo, y el inesperado Kks Qun jajajaja (sí, de verdad, aquí se entiende mucho más por qué a Adi se le considera “amigo” de Kks Qun)… 🌚🌚
Hasta ahí les cuento porque solo quiero prenderles la curiosidad y puedan leer esta novela sin miedo al éxito.
La historia de Adi es una que siempre quise leer, desde que lo conocí en Sissy (que la leí hace como 2 años), pero me sentía insegura pues cada que leía una novela de la autora, terminaba renegando (entiendan, ya tengo casi 30, si no cuido mi hígado ahora, ¿cuándo? Jajajaja)
Me encantó esta novela, siento que su historia no es tan terrible e imperdonable como la de Kks Qun o la de Bai Xinyu (My Little Poplar). Lo que sí me estresaba un poco era no entender a Luo Yi, quien tenía muchas acciones contradictorias, y que en el tiempo vas entendiendo. Sin embargo, la explicación, tampoco me convenció del todo, pero ya saben que a Shuida le gusta el poder del guión y las explicaciones sacadas del *(de veritas ☠️).
Esta fue mi tercera novela leída de la autora y no hay arrepentimiento, solo el de no haberlo leído antes… hasta me dieron ganas de releer Sissy para poder ubicarme un poco mejor en el tiempo 🤡🤡.
✅ Hay quien recomienda leer esta novela antes de Sissy porque se desarrolla desde años antes, recordemos que el Adi de Sissy está escondido de Luo Yi y tiene 24 años (creo? Por favor, si alguien lo recuerda, me lo dice para corregir )
✅ Gente, no son familia de sangre, tranquilos. Tampoco lo cría, por lo que no hay cosas raras jajaja.
✅ Como en toda novela de Shuida, se quedan juntos al final, si les gusta o no, queda en cada uno. Personalmente sí me gustó jajajaja.
✅ Adi es una muy linda persona, lástima que en Sissy no se muestra más ello, a pesar que se le hace ver como una persona fría y superficial.
✅ AMEEEEEEEEÉ LOS EXTRAS!!!!! Literal, me llenan de vida, especialmente la fiesta en la que aparecen 4 parejas… jajajaja
✅✅✅✅ Recuerden que Luo Yi, el protagonista gong, es el terror de Kks Qun, ni él se atreve a enfrentársele… a pesar que ayudó a Adi a huir.
A continuación, el spoiler que deseas, pero no te atreves a saber, e igual, lo vas a leer jajaja
.
.
.
.
.
.
⚠️ Luo Yi le hace daño a Adi, no solo una vez, sino varias. Traiciona siempre su confianza.
⚠️ Todo es una Armani de Luo Yi, nada debió haber pasado, todo era mentira... TODO.
⚠️ Tranquil@s, no pasa nada entre ellos, hasta que Luo Yi es legal, así que aquellas que sientan que es inmoral, léanlo con paz mental jajajaja
Ahora, personajes con cameos:
🕯️ Kks Qun: Ya sabemos, protagonista gong de Sissy, amigo de Adi. Aparece antes que reaparezca Li Chengxiu, y ayuda a Adi porque su bff, se parece muy a Li Chengxiu. Lo positivo es que Adi pudo proteger a su bff.
🕯️ Li Chengxiu, protagonista shou de Sissy. Recordemos que en Sissy, Kks Qun lleva a Li Chengxiu a que Adi le haga un cambio de look. Como mencioné en la reseña chafa de Sissy, Adi se hace muy amigo de Li Chengxiu.
🕯️ Li Shuo, protagonista shou de Winners takes all. Aquí, es interés amoroso de Adi (Li Shuo, como siempre, mojando calzoncillos xD), que no se concreta, pero siempre está. Luo Yi lo detesta (claramente jajaja).
🕯️Zhao Jinxin, protagonista gong de Winner takes all. Aparece ya hacia el final de la novela, mientras que se desarrolla su relación con Li Shuo, además que sale en los extras y OBVIAMENTE Adi lo ama jajajajaja (a pesar que en cierto momento, lo llega a odiar).
Lean Maldita Herencia por favor, no hay pierde jajajaja 💋💋
Luo Yi mi varón 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻

✅✅✅✅ Recuerden que Luo Yi, el protagonista gong, es el terror de Kks Qun, ni él se atreve a enfrentársele… a pesar que ayudó a Adi a huir.
A continuación, el spoiler que deseas, pero no te atreves a saber, e igual, lo vas a leer jajaja

⚠️ Luo Yi le hace daño a Adi, no solo una vez, sino varias. Traiciona siempre su confianza.
⚠️ Todo es una Armani de Luo Yi, nada debió haber pasado, todo era mentira... TODO.
⚠️ Tranquil@s, no pasa nada entre ellos, hasta que Luo Yi es legal, así que aquellas que sientan que es inmoral, léanlo con paz mental jajajaja
Ahora, personajes con cameos:
🕯️ Kks Qun: Ya sabemos, protagonista gong de Sissy, amigo de Adi. Aparece antes que reaparezca Li Chengxiu, y ayuda a Adi porque su bff, se parece muy a Li Chengxiu. Lo positivo es que Adi pudo proteger a su bff.
🕯️ Li Chengxiu, protagonista shou de Sissy. Recordemos que en Sissy, Kks Qun lleva a Li Chengxiu a que Adi le haga un cambio de look. Como mencioné en la reseña chafa de Sissy, Adi se hace muy amigo de Li Chengxiu.
🕯️ Li Shuo, protagonista shou de Winners takes all. Aquí, es interés amoroso de Adi (Li Shuo, como siempre, mojando calzoncillos xD), que no se concreta, pero siempre está. Luo Yi lo detesta (claramente jajaja).
🕯️Zhao Jinxin, protagonista gong de Winner takes all. Aparece ya hacia el final de la novela, mientras que se desarrolla su relación con Li Shuo, además que sale en los extras y OBVIAMENTE Adi lo ama jajajajaja (a pesar que en cierto momento, lo llega a odiar).
Lean Maldita Herencia por favor, no hay pierde jajajaja 💋💋

manipulative gong meets fashionista shou
This story was read after Sissy because it is the recommended order, since secondary characters in this novel appear in the first and make brief cameos. Honestly, the story was very weak in terms of entertainment/enjoyment in comparison to the first (Sissy). There are a number of reasons for that:
This story is basically like trying to get your boy-crazy friend to leave their manipulative boyfriend and each time you think you've gotten it through their thick skull that this person is bad for them, they STILL run back into their arms, so all you can say is "girl if you like it, I LOVE it for you," because they don't actually want any solutions, they just want you to tell them what they want you to hear.
First fourth of the story is readable, with a sort of feeling that something big is going to happen. The ML (gong) puts on a front of being very pitiful and meek, while the MC (shou) is described as a strong-willed extrovert who isn't afraid of showing off that he's gay. By the end of the story, these personalities are completely skewed into something else, and personally feels like a loss.
I loved the MC's initial personality, and that is why I have such disappointment with how he turns out in the end. Without spoiling too much, he is described as not taking anyone's shit and being a bright happy person, and yet gives the ML so so soooo much leeway to act however he feels like, without ever applying any real consequences. This allows the ML to basically take advantage of his kindness and manipulate him by letting him get into situations like becoming a hostage in order for the ML to come out on top for his ultimate goal, revenge, as well as wear him down so much that he can no longer be that bright, happy person he was in the beginning. Even in the end, he states
"He could lead a life of comfort if he relinquished the burden [of running away], so he would embrace it even if he felt resigned." Okay so stockholm syndrome, got it.
The story is, overall, just very predictable once you see the pattern of allowing the ML to do whatever he feels like just because he is so pitiable in the MC's eyes, and thus makes the journey of reading the story so unbearable because you just want it to end.
Another reason I rated so low because, in comparison to the author's first work, the ML suffers NO CONSEQUENCES for everything he did. At least in Sissy we get chapters of the ML being pathetic and obsessed with finding the MC, but we see absolutely none of that in this story; their is no actual wife-chasing if the wife willingly goes back. I felt nothing for the ML and would have preferred he died at the end.
Didn't bother reading the MC and ML's side stories just because I could not bring myself to care at all, the MC's friend Luo Ri's side stories were really enjoyable though so the story deserves it's 2/5 rating just for that

Xiaohui/Adrian is the best
Luo Yi is , but I still love him (and kind of feel sorry for him. That was a really, really rough childhood).
This is dark romance BL, which is the author's specialty. As always, the angst is delicious, the heartbreak real and devastating, and as reader you get traumatized along with the protagonist.
I loved all the characters (except Luo Yi's dad, who is an awful human being and should be erased from existence - fortunately Luo Yi working on it).
The ending is - kind of dark, which I loved and felt made sense considering everything Xiaohui went through.
The story is well-paced and slowly builds up the sense of something not being quite right. Xiaohui who befriends and starts taking care of his dead foster/adopted sister's young son out of love for her - the kid seems nice and smart and sunny, but over the years, something seems out of sorts. And the sense of something sinister slowly creeps up on both Xiaohui and the reader.
Xiaohui, to his own misfortune, isn't the smartest guy around. He's not stupid, but he's a bit dense. He's also a proud, effeminate young gay guy, a romantic who wants romance and not just sex, vain and conceited, but has a heart of gold and is the best friend one can ask for. It's his misfortune that he became entangled with the super smart, super talented prodigy Luo Yi.
This novel doesn't contain explicit smut, unlike most of the author's works, but it's worth reading for the exciting plot and characters. Sadly it doesn't have an official English translation yet, but there is an unofficial translation to be found online.

English title: Additional Inheritance
I love the 188 series and I've already read Sissy and Winner Takes All before this one so I knew all the character cameos. Unfortunately, I didn't end up liking this one as much as those which may be because I was really looking forward to it and it didn't live up to my expectations. I only have a few of the 188 books left to read before I've read them all so I was hoping to be hit harder in the feels. That being said, I still enjoyed it. I liked both characters a lot. It was nice to see Wen Xiaohui be so sure and unashamed of himself. I loved that Luo Yi was pretty much a
Summary: MC is 19 years old when his estranged, older adopted sister dies by suicide. She leaves him a note telling him to care for her 15 year old son (the ML) and he'll get an inheritance. He says yes, they spend time together as a family, MC suspects ML is in love with him but he resists his own feelings because he's technically his uncle.

Non official english name: Additional Inheritance, Additional Heritage or Additional Legacy. Lenght: 106 Chapters + 34 Extras.
Before I start, I think it is a fair to mention that this review will be long. I tend to write more for danmei novels because they usually have many chapters and the plot isn't quick to resolve. Also, if anyone is interested it's best to check the CWs, some of them are on my tags but others are missing.
This is a 4.5 stars but I am giving it 5 stars because I think it deserves it. Shuida's stories aren't for everyone due to the content and her couple dynamics, but for the ones that are willing to go deep into her "188 group" universe, Additional Inheritance is a great addition, pun intended.
I think this novel delivered exactly what it promises. Some people might find it over the top, but I personally love how nuts it turns into. It executes the tension very well while leaving some hints along the way for the reveals. They're aren't difficult to see coming, some guess it way before they are about to happen, but it doesn't feel as if there's no pay off. It makes sense within the story and that turns it compelling. There were many intances where I felt anxious and one of the many things I have to praise the author for is her ability to create an atmosphere of suspense and mantain it until it explodes. It becomes a very fun experience. I also love her descriptions and her writting style, I think it's neat, clean and precise without getting tiring.
Now onto the plot. The story is about Wen Xiahui (also known as Adrian or Adi) who has recently lost his sister (no blood-related), someone he hasn't contacted in a very long time. Once he gets to know of her not being alive anymore, he gets her one last petition in a letter. His sister asks him to take care of her son as his last wish, and to accept an inheritance. Wen Xiahui doesn't have the heart to reject that petition. The son's called Luo Yi, 15 years old, with a high IQ and very polite. However, it seems as if he is hiding something and Wen Xiahui will try to do everything to protect his sister's son. It's a well constructed premise because it hooks you up. There is a mistery, and the more you read, the more complicated and dangerous things get.
About the characters, I am both annoyed at them but also fascinated. I started liking Wen Xiahui a lot. He was the type to be down to earth, confident, caring and extroverted. Seeing him , which is why I got angry at some of his decissions. But I couldn't really feel that upset due to his circumstances, since he is a after all. At the same time, Luo Yi is even more intriguing due to the way the story is set up. He is a big mistery, very intelligent for his age and someone that has very clear goals. Although there is no confirmation from the author as far as I know, . He pissed me off, but I also feel that his character is well done because when I encounter a , I need to feel that and the author succeeded in doing it beliavable and avoid turn him into a caricature.
The relationship aspect left me with even more mixed feelings. First of all, it is important to mention that this is sort of pseudo-incest, but not that extreme to the point of being taboo, since it is between an adopted uncle/nephew, both character don't know each other beforehand, any "romantic" activity doesn't happen until Luo Yi is 18, and they also have a small age difference of 3-4 years. I don't see it as a romance, but as a really good , which is similar to the feelings I had with Sissy/Niang Niang Qiang from the same author. I think this is how I will feel with all of her novels, and I am fine with this because of the realistic elements. The difference is that the last chapters . I believe it is due to the codependency both developted towards each other. I really liked the progression of their stages as a couple, from . It is good take because in other books I've noticed they don't go deeper into the effects of such dynamic between a couple.
One last thing I wanted to mention was my love for the cast. It is refreshing to see an MC so close to his mother, someone who is present through the entire novel despite MC being a (young) adult, I think some books forget that parental relationship which is a shame. Another good thing is the friendship Wen Xiahui had with others: Luo Rui (his childhood best friend), Li Shuo (Luo Yi's love rival, as well as Shao Qun's) and Li Chengxiu, these last three from Sissy/Niang Niang Qiang. It was exciting and painful to see part of that story from Wen Xiahui's POV, as well as recounting the shared events. I am obsessed with this universe so I will be reading the rest of the series soon.

EXTREMELY MANIPULATIVE AND CONTROLLING MALE LEAD. The ML has been lying and manipulating the MC for years. I honestly thought this was just a typical slow-burn yandere romance, but wow, was I way off the mark. The plot twist completely blindsided me.
The ML is a full-blown sociopath and a literal danger to society. He’s so extreme that I genuinely believed there was no way this story could have a happy ending. It felt more like one of those Netflix documentaries about a dangerous ex where one of the characters end up dead.
"I'll make you accept me again. You better not think about falling in love with another person, or I'll kill them."
"Do you think I'm all talk? I'm serious. You're not allowed to look at anyone except me or I'll make him disappear from the face of the earth."

ตอนอ่านคำโปรยคิดว่าจะเป็น psychological triller หน่อยๆ ตอนเริ่มต้นก็เปิดมาดีนะ ดูมีปมมีเงื่อนงำ แต่อ่านจบแล้วรู้สึกผิดหวังเพราะวิธีการเล่า การคลายปมมันเบากว่าที่คิดมากกก
วิธีการเล่า คือนิยายรักปกติทั่วไปเลยแค่ทิ้งปริศนาไว้ต้นเรื่อง จริงๆพล็อตมาขนาดนี้คิดว่าจะเล่าเรื่องได้น่าสนใจ ไว ���รือว่า twists กว่านี้
การคลายปม เบื้องหลังของครอบครัวพี่สาวเกริ่นมายิ่งใหญ่เหมือนกันแต่วิธีการเอาคืน ฟาดฟันต่างๆมันไม่สุด เหมือนเอาไม้ตีนุ่น มันเบา ประกอบการเล่าเรื่องธรรมดาเลยไม่ได้สร้างความตื่นเต้นให้เราเลย
แต่คิดว่าถ้าใครไม่ยึดติดปมเรื่องมากแค่อยากอ่านความสัมพันธ์แบบ abusive หน่อย ตัวเอกหมาหงิง ยึดติดมากๆก็อาจจะชอบก็ได้ ส่วนตัวเราไม่ประทับใจ mc เท่าไหร่ในแง่ที่ว่าเค้าไม่ฉลาด อ่อนแอและดื้อ เป็นตัวละครที่ต้องนำทั้งเรื่องแต่คาแรคเตอร์เบา เอาไม่อยู่

I listened the audiobook version of it and it was a great multiple-voice audiobook (available on 猫耳), easy to follow, good voice acting and clear narration. It made it to the top due to the audiobook quality, but the story itself was fun to follow too!

March 1, 2024
He vuelto a leerlo especialmente para escribir esto, "maldita herencia" tocó mi corazón, shuida hizo lo que quiso con mi corazón, en el proceso de la lectura solo me llenaba de incertidumbre por saber, en que momento se destruiría la ilusión de una relación feliz entre Luo Yi y Wen Xioahui.
La primera vez que leí está novela, mi mentalidad fue proteger a toda costa al shou, odié mucho al gong, nunca lo pude perdonar completamente, su engaño, traición y manipulación, fueron imborrables para mí. Wen Xiaohui fue una personaje demasiado humano, ya había leído sissy y who cares, me había encariñado con él, y mi curiosidad sobre su pasado me hizo leer su novela.
Wen Xiaohui es víctima de un gran daño psicológico, él, que era un hablador, extrovertido y muy cuidadoso con su aspecto físico, y luego de la traición, todo aquello que irradiaba su brillante personalidad fue totalmente barrido por el daño que le hizo Luo Yi.
El dañó que le ocasionó Luo Yi es demasiado terrible, otra vez comprendí porque se supone que las palabras dañan más que los golpes, las cicatrices que dejó Luo Yi son demasiado difíciles de borrar.
Por eso Wen Xioahui, es y será, por siempre mi protegido.
Mientras el personaje de Luo Yi es todo una joya. Ahora, que lo he vuelto a leer, mi mente pudo conectar más con él, su vida fue realmente una completa mierda, y él, no es una persona normal, su amor (obsesión) por Wen Xiaohui es demasiado enfermo y brutal, no durará en desaparecer a quien le haga daño, y nunca permitirá dejar ir a Xiaohui.
Luo Yi fue muy meticuloso, aunque las red flags estaban ahí, tiró mil red flags, y Xiaohui no las notó y ni las pensó, bueno, el loco de Luo Yi realizó un plan que se podía considerar perfecto, lamentablemente, la variable fue Wen Xiaohui, quien al inicio no era ni siquiera una pieza de ajedrez, y al final fue la razón de su sufrimiento y arrepentimiento, con la única persona que él se permitió fingir ser humano.
Además, el arrepentimiento de Luo Yi no es nada más por causarle daño a Wen Xioahui, su objetivo siempre fue su padre y él iba a hacer lo necesario para cumplir ese plan, aunque, ya tenía ciertas fallas desde que se enamoró obsesivamente de Xiaohui.
El proceso de enamoramiento de este sátiro, es tortuoso, bien, él nunca recibió afecto de sus padres, vió cosas e hizo cosas innombrables, Xiaohui lo trató con dulzura, amor y consideración, ¿solo por eso lo enamoró?.
No, Luo Yi nunca tuvo planeado tener alguna relación romántica con él, al inicio solo lo quería controlarlo, saciar la ambición de Xiaohui y hacer que confíe en él para que le dé la herencia, una persona que es inexperta y además de no ser una persona normal, como Luo Yi, no sabría entender e identificar esos sentimientos que sintió al ver a Xioahui coqueteando con Li Shuo.
Cuando tuvieron sexo, Luo Yi despertó, y vio embobado a Xiaohui, estaba completamente anonado y embobado, niño, si tu maldita pija se levanta, ¿es por algo no?y él, aún así tuvo el descaro de decirle a Wen Xiaohui "nose lo que me gusta", mi mente es demasiado frágil para captar sus engaños, yo encuentro esto una opinión lógica.
Podría decir muchas cosas más pero inexplicablemente mezclo los temas, así que hasta ahí dejo mi intento de defensa hacia Luo Yi, igual, no justifico absolutamente en nada sus acciones, merece ser odiado y la vez amado. Pero, cómo dije, es un personaje joya, vale la pena explorarlo con profundidad.
Sobre las escenas sexuales, hay algunas escenas que son debatibles si es dubcon o noncon, en los warnings sale dubcon creo, aún así, siento que sigue siendo debatible.
Por último, mis más buenos deseos para Xiaohui, que tu corazón no vuelva a sufrir, mereces el mundo, y el mundo no te merece, Luo Yi podrá vivir mil vidas, y jamás te merecerá, eres demasiado hermoso para alguien como él, eres la fruta fresca que un ave de rapiña saboreó y el dulce que un ladrón robó.💗

Sobre las escenas sexuales, hay algunas escenas que son debatibles si es dubcon o noncon, en los warnings sale dubcon creo, aún así, siento que sigue siendo debatible.
Por último, mis más buenos deseos para Xiaohui, que tu corazón no vuelva a sufrir, mereces el mundo, y el mundo no te merece, Luo Yi podrá vivir mil vidas, y jamás te merecerá, eres demasiado hermoso para alguien como él, eres la fruta fresca que un ave de rapiña saboreó y el dulce que un ladrón robó.💗

Inhaled this book jn 3-4 days 💀💀💀 I thought I lost my ability to read fast, turns out I just didn’t have anything good to read. Did a little math and this should be around 1500 pages if it were published, give or take 💀 the power of psychopath x fashionista and a good translation, what can I say 😭💀
