Description
Fishing-type shou (Yun Xunlan) × Overthinking gong who conquers himself through imagination and is a master tr*sh-talker (Yu Chen) Yun Xunlan was once the top medical cultivator in the cultivation world, revered as Immortal Lord Xilan. But no one knew he was bound to a system that required him to be scolded by someone every day, or else he’d risk sudden death. After becoming an esteemed immortal lord, no one dared curse him anymore. As a result, Yun Xunlan failed his tribulation and was struck dead by heavenly lightning. Reborn into an interstellar world, he became the Empire’s Third Prince—a dream alpha beloved by billions of omegas across the galaxy. Here, he held an even higher status than before, ensuring absolutely no one dared insult him. Thus, Yun Xunlan constantly faced the threat of sudden death. Fortunately, just before his eighteenth birthday, the royal family decided to select a group of top alpha warriors from the imperial army to form a personal guard unit for his protection. When his attendant showed him a live broadcast of the guard selection process, Yun Xunlan saw an alpha answering the examiner’s question: “What strengths do you have that qualify you to stay by His Highness’s side?” The alpha raised an eyebrow and replied: “I can turn anyone into a dog who can only kneel and beg for mercy.” Yun Xunlan’s eyes lit up immediately: “That’s the one!” — The entire empire knew that Major Yu Chen of the royal guard couldn’t tolerate anyone insulting Third Prince Yun Xunlan. Whenever he heard someone cursing Yun Xunlan, he’d become furious as if he’d been cheated on by his spouse. He wouldn’t stop until he’d beaten that person senseless. Every day, he either argued online with haters or challenged them to fights offline. Later, Yun Xunlan underwent a secondary differentiation from alpha to omega. Major Yu Chen smoothly “married” into the royal family. Only then did everyone finally understand: Major Yu Chen loved the Third Prince so deeply that he couldn’t bear hearing anyone insult him. Yu Chen: No, it’s because when someone insults my wife, it genuinely feels like I’ve been cheated on. Yun Xunlan: [wants to speak but stops.jpg] — Brief Summary: The shou (bottom) intended to use the gong (top) merely as a tool for completing his system tasks. However, the gong mistakenly believed that the shou had special kinks and was madly in love with him, thus unknowingly completing his own romantic conquest. “Who knew an esteemed immortal lord could have two faces?” Reading Guidelines: 1. 1v1 pairing; double C; HE (happy ending); fictional setting with many original details. 2. Initially double Alpha (AA), later Alpha/Omega (AO); shou transitions from Alpha to Omega as necessary for plot purposes—this detail won’t change and cannot be spoiled further at this time. 3. The gong is sharp-tongued and curses frequently but generally won’t curse at the shou (“special♂circumstances” aside). Readers sensitive to this should proceed cautiously. 4. Romance-focused story with heavy emotional content and minimal plot complexity. “I wish to become your second star—even if all other stars in the universe extinguish their light, I’ll continue burning for you alone, guiding you along our orbit until our very last moment.”

My Thoughts on I Heard You Were Scolding My Wife?
This novel, I Heard You Were Scolding My Wife?, definitely took me on a wild ride! With its blend of action, comedy, drama, fantasy, and shounen ai, I was intrigued from the start. The premise alone is enough to pique anyone's interest, and while it delivers on some fronts, there are definitely a few things I want to unpack.
First Impressions
The initial chapters drew me in with the promise of misunderstandings and a cute, developing romance. The dynamic between the MC, a seemingly aloof immortal, and the ML, a devoted and slightly rough-around-the-edges bodyguard, is quite compelling. I was immediately invested in seeing how their relationship would unfold, especially with the added element of the system.
What Works Well
The humor is a definite highlight. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the absurd situations arising from the characters' misinterpretations of each other's actions and intentions. The ML's unwavering devotion to the MC is also endearing, making him a true "green flag" character. The plot moves at a good pace, keeping me engaged without feeling rushed, and the balance between romance and intrigue is well-maintained. The world-building, blending cultivation elements with an interstellar setting, is creative and adds a unique flavor to the story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall experience, a few aspects gave me pause. The system, while a central plot device, didn't quite resonate with me. I also felt that the power dynamic between the MC and ML was a bit skewed, making it harder to fully connect with the MC's feelings. I would have liked to see more vulnerability and sincerity from him earlier on.
