Only Fools Believe in Love

Zhang Yuze fell asleep only to find out that he had crossed over into a random book… Becoming a s*um gong’s pitiful but cheap ex-boyfriend, someone who even turned into a love-obsessed stalker after being rejected. As for Xu Li, the original s*um gong, he was simply disappointed with love and marriage after witnessing his father’s domestic violence and the breakdown of his parent’s marriage. On top of that, he was also a firm believer in a famous saying: Only fools believe in love. * One would think that Zhang Yuze would be happy to hold the script, eager to stage a cool drama about tearing up a s*umbag, hitting him with a counterattack, and forcing him to chase his wife through a crematorium, right? Unfortunately, no. Because he himself also didn’t believe in love. Zhang Yuze, the one who once experienced the betrayal of his first love, being played with and forced to wear a green hat, actually agreed with the s*umbag… Only fools believe in love. * He thought that there would be no more intersections between his and Xu Li’s life. But who knew that one day, Xu Li, who had a high fever, suddenly stretched out his hand to him, looking provocative and frivolous. He swallowed an antipyretic and suddenly said: “You don’t believe in love, and neither do I. However, medicine says that practice comes from true knowledge. How about we fall in love and see if there’s such a thing?” * “Do you believe in love?” “No, I don’t.” “Then why are we getting married?” “I don’t need love, but I need you.” The one with the most poisonous tongue in the world, Zhang Yuze vs. The drama dog with a coquettish mouth, Xu Li. Reversible couple! Mutual attack story!

## My Thoughts on Only Fools Believe in Love "Only Fools Believe in Love" is a quirky and entertaining read that I found myself enjoying quite a bit, despite a few narrative stumbles along the way. It's a blend of comedy, romance, and a touch of the fantastical, centered around two mature and skeptical men who reluctantly explore the concept of love. ### First Impressions The initial premise, where a surgeon transmigrates (sort of) into a novel, grabbed my attention immediately. The idea of a cynical protagonist suddenly thrust into a world that blurs the lines between reality and fiction is intriguing. I was eager to see how the author would navigate this unusual setup. ### What Works Well The dynamic between the main characters, Zhang Yuze and Xu Li, is the heart of this story. Their bickering is genuinely funny, and their slow-burn romance feels earned. I appreciated that both characters are mature, successful individuals with their own baggage, making their eventual connection all the more satisfying. The medical setting also adds a unique layer to the story, providing a backdrop for their interactions and a sense of realism. I particularly enjoyed how the story explores their shared skepticism about love, stemming from past hurts and complicated family dynamics. Watching them challenge each other's beliefs and gradually open up was a delightful experience. The translation was also well done, making the story easy to immerse in. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find the plot a bit confusing at times. The initial transmigration premise felt somewhat underdeveloped, and the merging of the "book world" with reality could have been handled more smoothly. I also noticed some inconsistencies in character behavior, particularly in the early chapters. It was difficult to fully grasp the MC's personality. ### Final Verdict Despite its minor flaws, "Only Fools Believe in Love" is a charming and lighthearted novel that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun, easy read. The engaging characters, witty banter, and unique premise make it a worthwhile experience. It's a sweet and humorous story about finding love in unexpected places, even when you least expect it.
