【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter 1, Young Master, Young Master (1). On the edge of Xuanwu Lake, the protagonist, Lin Wanrong, spat into the water, secretly cursing his bad luck. He had been here for over a month, and it had been unfortunate all the time. He watched the talented man and beautiful woman on the lakeside, openly flirting with each other on a pleasure boat, and he couldn't understand the romance at all. Was this a love affair? This was a show!
Chapter 2, Young Master, Young Master (2). The protagonist, dismayed by the ancient pursuit of romanticism, recalls his own carefree life in a previous life, and the time he was taken on a trip by the chairman's daughter and fell off a cliff. Forget it, let it go. In this era, as long as one can recite poetry and paint, it seems one can get by. At this moment, a stunning young master applauds him.

Chapter 3, Young Master, Young Master (3). The protagonist was somewhat skeptical of the stunning looks of the master and servant who stopped him. They might be women, but the physical signs were not obvious, so he was stunned for a long time. After coming to his senses, he found that this stunning young master did not seem to be interested in the so-called talented men and beautiful women.

Chapter 4, So You Are Little (1). The peerless young man expressed his disgust for these talented scholars and beautiful women who ignored the declining situation in the north and continued to enjoy peace and prosperity without any ambition for the country. He also felt disgusted with the protagonist, who he thought was also a scholar. When he learned that the protagonist had no achievements, he asked for forgiveness. Especially after the protagonist recited the famous line about West Lake, he was completely impressed.

Chapter 5, So You Are Little (2). The peerless young man seems to be very eager to learn and respectfully addresses the protagonist as Mr. Lin. The protagonist doesn't want to be a teacher, but still points out the importance of controlling public opinion. He even expresses his disapproval of the emperor, which angers the peerless young man, causing him to reveal the girl's ear piercing.

【Brief Comment】

Yu Yan, a Level 5 author, is the author of two works, "The Good Man in the City" and "The Best Houseboy". The former has flopped, while the latter was a huge hit.

Not to mention the distant past, as of now, this book has 48 collections on Qidian, 75 collections in the bookstore, 84 fans, and 2 alliance leaders.

This book once ranked in the top three on Google and Baidu for forty consecutive weeks, probably around 2008. "The Best Houseboy" created a miracle, with over ten thousand subscriptions, ranking seventh in the total collection on Qidian, and monthly votes ranked in the top six every month.

These are all historical achievements. I know this book from the TV series, starring Chen He, and it's hilarious. It's just quite different from the original novel. This is often the case with film and television adaptations of historical novels. So, how effective will "The Son-in-Law," starring Guo Qilin and the original cast of "Joy of Life," be? We'll have to wait until it airs to see.

Let’s talk about this book again.

These early classic online novels, whether it is "Zhu Xian", "Zichuan", "Legend of the Little Soldier", "Tianmo Shentan", or "Fights Break Sphere", "Douluo Dalu", "Stellar Change" and so on.

Judging from today's perspective and readers' preferences, the beginning is not particularly brilliant.

Times have changed. The era of copying poetry has truly passed. The era of copying songs is almost over. The era of copying comics continues.

Moreover, the style of books with super long and mysterious titles is more popular now, and I guess they won’t last long.

Although some parts of this book have become a product of the times, its funny style, interesting stories, special descriptions, etc. are still worth reading again by readers.

A classic aftertaste with a more mellow taste.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book is indeed a classic and a model of the harem genre.

It’s just that the original version deleted a lot of exciting plots.

But I still hope that everyone can support the genuine products. It’s not easy for every author.
