Sissy

by Shui Qian Cheng

The weak and taciturn Li Chengxiu suffered all kinds of bullying during his school days. Shao Qun’s frivolous moment of interest gave him the tiny sliver of warmth back then. Yet, it also pushed his young self into a much deeper darkness.

Ten years later, they met again. To Shao Qun, Li Chengxiu was a piece of dessert that he didn’t dare to try in the past, so he approached him with an ulterior motive.

This time around, will it be an atonement for the past, or the beginning of yet another catastrophe?

nunca había sufrido tanto para acabar un libro como con esta novela, luché con cada uno de mis demonios internos para lograrlo.
lógicamente esta no es una novela para todo el mundo y hay que tener mucha consciencia de lo que va a traer encima mientras la lees, tú sabes que vas a leer una relación tóxica pero en lo que falla esta novela es en mantener una trama sólida e interesante, los personajes solo están escritos para repetir una y otra vez el mismo ciclo hasta hartar al lector y ni siquiera estos son suficientemente destacables para mantenerte enganchado.
lo que más me decepcionó es que me aburriera DEMASIADO, generalmente este tipo de historias me brindan por lo menos algo de entretenimiento así sea irónico pero en esta novela no, en vez de generarme risas o expectativas, me abrumaba y estresaba. quiero darle el beneficio de la duda a la autora sobre sus otras obras teniendo en cuenta que esta fue su primera novela y aparte la escribió hace más de una década, pero aún así no puedo evitar pensar que esta es la fórmula que utiliza para el resto de novelas de esta saga y me preocupa que estas no encajen con mi estilo COMO ES EL CASO DE ESTA pero anyway.
le doy 2 estrellas porque mínimamente estuvo bien escrita, en algunos momentos pude lograr empatizar con el protagonista, y puedo entender subjetivamente porque a alguien le gustaría esta novela, en algunos momentos mínimamente te saca una risa (así sea provocada de la cólera ejem como a mi). en fin, muérete shao qun ojalá yo te hubiera apuñalado.

Tremenda novela de shit. Definitivamente no es mi tipo de novela y me dió cólera mientras leía; pero yo quería experimentar de este tipo y sin duda encontré lo que buscaba, una novela que no falla en su etiqueta sangre de perro PORQUE LO ES A NIVEL DE MUERTE. Me encantó, le doy 5 estrellas en cuestión de que cumple con su tag y también debido a que me hizo tener mucho coraje hacia el gong y sentir impotencia por el shou, mientras logre hacerme sentir alguna emoción o sentimiento considero a la novela buena. En calificación personal que tanto me gustó, la dejo en 2 estrellas, ya no quiero volver a saber de esta cosa... los extras fueron como un curita pero la cicatriz que me dejó jamás se borrará.

Si quieren experimentar la sangre de perro pero no quieren sufrir tanto, les recomiendo no leerla; es súper tóxica a nivel Chernobyl.

even as someone who LOVES wife chasing crematoriums, the ending was really appalling and hard to swallow. ML not only did not redeem himself at all but even stooped so low as to baby trap MC without his consent.....im speechless 🤡 unlike other crematoriums where MC is moved by the ML's sincerity/groveling and forgives him in this case it felt more like the MC only got back with ML because he was at the end of the road with no other options. even at the end i still wasn't convinced that MC truly forgave ML and loved him the way he did in the past...DELULU IS THE SOLULU I GUESS. oh and money. everything can be solved with money. felt more like reading a sad story of someone who tried his very best but still could not get out of a very toxic and abusive relationship 💀💀💀

WHY WAS THERE NO CHEATING TAG?!
I’m so angry I could cry. To anyone considering reading this: don’t waste your time. The male lead is not only a cheating scumbag but also a rapist.

I keep giving 188 books a chance because of the groveling arcs, but I’m consistently disappointed by how poorly written the male lead characters are. This book is no exception. I seriously need to block these books from my feed and stop trusting recommendations from FB and Novel Updates. It feels like I’ve been scammed, this is just as bad as falling for overhyped books on BookTok. Absolute garbage. I am livid.

Rating: 3.5/5 - Angst is me! I am angst! This book satisfies a decent angst itch!

Redemption was kind of meh because we know the MC became almost complacent with the psycho ML! Bruh was crazy AF but I’m usually a huge fan of Yandere’s and he was just a poorly written one.

Otherwise still a very enjoyable read.

This is part of the 188 series so expect the usual trope—wife chasing in the crematorium. The gong, who is scummy, will break the shou’s heart and trust, then he will grovel, chase after their wife and will do anything to win back wifey’s heart, even doing the extreme measures to achieve it. It is full of emotional torture and painful stabbing in the heart. It is frustrating, angsty but it has a happy ending—if happy ending means shou is content and happy to be with his gong and no one is bothering them anymore.

SQ is a scumbag. I could tolerate his obsession and possessiveness but I hate him for being a cheater. Give me a toxic ML but never a cheater and someone who raises their hand at their wife and physically harms them. SQ is a selfish bastard. He keeps his arranged marriage a secret from LCX because he wants to keep him by his side like a favorite toy (according to him). He also sleeps with his fiancè while dating LCX the fvkng audacity. This man needs to be slapped with a baseball bat. He flaunts new lovers in front of LCX (who always looks hurt) to get a reaction from him but then he gets angry and loses his mind when LCX finally dates someone else. I wanna put him in a microwave oven especially when he was trying to convince (manipulate) LCX into thinking that nothing will ever change even if he gets married. He deserves a star in the wall of shame. Though I almost give a standing ovation when LCX clapped him by asking if he could get married as well. He was like, “you can marry someone else but I couldn’t? What do you take me for?” mf was left speechless.

The chasing arc is quite satisfying because SQ really grovels and looks pitiful while trying to win LCX back (and his efforts always going to waste, serves him right). He thinks a couple of sorrys and “I’ll treat you better this time” are enough to absolve him from all the terrible things he did to LCX, for all the humiliating and hurtful things he said to him. He took LCX’s love and loyalty for granted and treated him like a plaything who didn’t deserve respect. Now he’s crawling, begging, crying and yearning like a man who couldn’t live without his wife. I love how he thought LCX was naive, soft and would easily give in but he was wrong. LCX is none of those things. I love how LCX values himself despite his poor background and people always bullying and looking down on him. He’s got self-preservation and doesn’t let his emotions clouded his decisions. He finally get SQ to taste his own medicine. It took SQ a lot of mental and emotional suffering for him to finally realize how much of a scumbag he’s been and how much LCX means to him.

I feel bad for LCX. SQ has wronged him in every way even during their school days. SQ literally ruined young LCX’s life and his future. LCX became an orphan, had to quit school from too much bullying (caused by young SQ), lost his hearing ability in his left ear (also from bullying) and had to work his ass off to survive. He’s dirt poor, alone and has speech impediment as well. This beautiful man deserves all the good things in life and a better lover (he should have ended up with brother Li). There is also a feeling of hopelessness in his situation because there is a power dynamic involved in his relationship with SQ. LCX got no money to his name and SQ could easily harrass him and make his life miserable if he wanted to because LCX has no powerful person or family to protect and back him up from an obsessed and powerful heir like SQ. Good thing he met brother Li who protected and loved him, otherwise SQ would not stop blackmailing and harassing LCX. But then again, SQ never gave up. He must get his wife back no matter what and he could do it because he’s got money and influence. This is why between them, SQ will always have the upper hand and the one who has more control. LCX is literally at the bottom of the social hierarchy while SQ sits at the top.

I might decide to read the novel because despite how messy and frustrating the manhua is, I think it’s a different experience with the novel.
