The Entire City Is My Husband

They had grown up together and gotten married, but Xie Shiyu had unfortunately passed away in a plane crash. Chu Feng couldn’t accept this fate and thus chose to find solace like this. The system extracted countless versions of Xie Shiyu from his memory and created Chu Feng’s Dream City from it. “Chu Feng gege, I want a hug!” A 5-year-old Shiyu ran into his embrace. “Where’s my good morning kiss today, Professor Chu?” An 18-year-old school tyrant wrapped his arm around Chu Feng’s shoulder. “Let’s do it in my office later,” A 25-year-old President Xie wrapped his arm around his waist. Chu Feng was very happy playing with the entire city of Xie Shiyus and thus lived happily ever after. —That is, if you ignore the pain in his waist every night. However, there was a curse in this happy Dream City. The Xie Shiyus in his Dream City would also experience a terrible fate of death, whether it was the bus exploding, the playground catching fire, or the bridge cracking in half… What was supposed to be a sweet couple game instantly turned into a survival game. Chu Feng could only request the game to assign him a guardian for protection after that. As a result, the system gave him the highest-ranked S guardian, X, to protect him. It sounded very reassuring indeed. But not long after, Chu Feng found that the S-ranked Guardian was a little over the top. He would hold his hand while disarming the bomb, grab his waist when jumping into the ocean, and princess carry him when walking out of a fire. There was even an instance where he brought Chu Feng to the 108th floor of the hotel to stargaze. Chu Feng: I’m sorry but I’m taken. I have a boyfriend.Guardian X: That’s not what the files in the system said.Chu Feng: What does it say?Guardian X: Widowed, depressed, and looking for love.Chu Feng: …

## My Thoughts on The Entire City Is My Husband "The Entire City Is My Husband" is one of those novels that completely subverted my expectations. Going in, I anticipated a lighthearted, perhaps even comedic, story. What I discovered was a far more complex and engaging narrative that blends romance, mystery, and even elements of crime. This novel took me on a wild ride. ### First Impressions The premise alone is intriguing: a "widowed" MC creates a holographic game where the entire city is populated by different versions of his deceased love interest. It's a unique setup, and I was immediately hooked by the blend of sweetness and angst hinted at in the early chapters. The dynamic between the MC, Chu Feng, and the ML, Xie Shiyu (or X), is undeniably compelling. ### What Works Well The author masterfully weaves together different genres. The mystery surrounding ML's past kept me guessing, and I appreciated how the secrets were gradually revealed. The romance is sweet, albeit with a definite yandere edge from the ML, which I found surprisingly endearing. The character development is also a strong point, especially the ML's. His morally grey character, shaped by a traumatic past, is fascinating and sympathetic. I found myself equally invested in the MC's journey as he grapples with grief and the pressures of his family. The extras are great and feel like a part of the main story instead of just being tacked on. ### Areas of Concern The non-chronological storyline can be a bit jarring, with frequent flashbacks disrupting the flow of the present-day narrative. While I appreciated the depth these flashbacks added to the ML's character, I can understand how some readers might find them overwhelming or disconnected. Also, the inclusion of "filler" scenes, as well as the amount of time devoted to the ML over the MC, may not appeal to all readers. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning ⚠️ Proceed with caution! The following contains spoilers regarding the ML's past. One of the biggest reveals is that the ML is, essentially, a serial killer (though the circumstances are often morally complex). He is very protective of the MC, and his actions often blur the line between love and obsession. ### Final Verdict Despite some minor pacing issues, "The Entire City Is My Husband" is a captivating and unique read. It's a story that will stay with you long after you finish it. If you're looking for a novel that blends romance, mystery, and a morally ambiguous ML, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'm rounding my rating up to a solid 4.5/5.
