Description
Shou is a total heartthrob * Eight-year age gap * Gong is head over heels for shou * Super strong control freak Fang Shimian was riding his little electric scooter when he stumbled upon a chain car accident scene. On the deserted mountain road, he pulled a man out of a Maybach that was about to explode. The man’s face was cold and stern, covered in blood. Fang Shimian didn’t have time to hesitate; he took the man and started running for their lives. As the last rays of the sunset faded, the vehicle erupted with a violent sound, and a wave of heat and debris came crashing down. The little scooter was blown to bits. He even gave his life-saving helmet to the guy. But the man remained unconscious, looking like he wouldn’t make it. Fang Shimian stumbled and ran a long way to lead an ambulance up, and after saving the man, he left without a trace. He ran away. Until not long after, he was brought to the hospital room by those burly black-suited bodyguards. Seeing the tall and handsome group president calmly flipping through documents on the hospital bed, he realized he had really saved a life. Mini Theater: After successfully getting his driver’s license, Fang Shimian sent the driver away and drove himself to pick up Huo Zhongshan from work. When he arrived at the Hengshi Group building, the receptionist said Huo Zhongshan was in a meeting and that he could wait in the lounge if he didn’t have an appointment. Fang Shimian waited in the lounge for a while, feeling a bit hungry, and knowing Huo Zhongshan’s meetings usually took a long time, he decided to go out and grab a bite to eat. In the nearby food court, Fang Shimian happily bought a bunch of his favorite snacks and headed back. He hadn’t even finished his pineapple burger when he saw Huo Zhongshan coming out of the building with a group, looking grim and not in a good mood. Fang Shimian stopped, glanced at the unhealthy food in his hand, and turned to leave, only to be caught after a few steps. “Anything else?” The suit-clad group president calmly took the snacks from Fang Shimian’s hand. “Next time, just take the elevator up and wait in my office.” Under the watchful eyes of the group employees, Huo Zhongshan naturally delegated the remaining tasks to his subordinates, carrying the colorful bags, and went home with Fang Shimian.

My Thoughts on Don’t Be Too Good-Looking
"Don't Be Too Good-Looking" is a story that definitely took me on an emotional rollercoaster. It's a blend of genres – drama, romance, psychological elements, and even a touch of the supernatural – all wrapped up in a modern slice-of-life package. The novel explores some heavy themes, so be prepared for a potentially heart-wrenching read.
First Impressions
Initially, I found myself a bit hesitant with Shimian, the protagonist. His timidity and seeming inability to stand up for himself tested my patience. I almost considered dropping the novel early on. However, I'm glad I stuck with it because understanding the reasons behind his behavior is key to appreciating the story's depth.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its exploration of trauma and healing. Shimian's past is slowly revealed, and it becomes clear why he acts the way he does. The story delves into the roots of his insecurities, showing how an abusive upbringing shaped his personality. The male lead, on the other hand, has his own hidden trauma, which makes their relationship a journey of mutual healing and understanding. I found the ending to be particularly satisfying. It's not a story of grand revenge or dramatic face-slapping, but rather a quiet, introspective look at overcoming past wounds and choosing a brighter future.
Areas of Concern
The male lead's controlling nature might be off-putting for some readers. While it's portrayed as stemming from a desire to protect and care for Shimian, it sometimes borders on being overly parental. It's a fine line, and whether it works for you will depend on your personal preferences.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Don't Be Too Good-Looking" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a character-driven story with emotional depth. It's a mature and thought-provoking exploration of trauma, healing, and the complexities of relationships. While the male lead's controlling tendencies might not appeal to everyone, the novel ultimately offers a hopeful message about overcoming adversity and finding light in the darkness. I'd give it a solid recommendation, especially if you appreciate stories that delve into the psychological aspects of their characters.
