Description
Xia Che has liked Zhou Yige for seven years, and has been fighting against his love rival Pei Liao for seven years. The two have a deep bond. They have the same s*xual orientation, liked the same person, and were competing for the top spot in the same school and for a job title in the same company. It’s like he’s been cursed by same natural enemy that he can’t escape. Xia Che endured it for seven years, but finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He angrily accepted the transfer and moved across half of the country with his luggage. Haha, if he can’t afford to offend him, can’t he just hide away? Xia Che, who escaped from Pei Liao, was full of hope for the future. He opened the door with the best mood. “……the f*ck?” On the sofa, Pei Liao, who was leisurely drinking tea, nodded friendly, “Director Xia, what a coincidence.” Xia Che, “…Unfortunately, Deputy General Manager Pei, you are still haunting me.” Yes, as long as the soul is not extinguished, the curse will not die. If you committed sins in your previous life, you will have to pay for them in this life. — Xia Che felt that something was not right with his love rival– oh, now roommate. Who would make breakfast for their love rival every day, pick him up from work, and give him gifts on holidays? That’s all fine. Why… doesn’t this guy wear proper clothes at home?! Xia Che couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed the table, “Will you die if you button your collar two more?!” Pei Liao said casually, “Does my collarbone look good?” Xia Che’s Adam’s apple rolled subconsciously, “Not bad?” Pei Liao nodded and unbuttoned two more buttons. Xia Che: “……???” So later. He woke up from his rival’s bed 🙂 —— A long time later, someone asked Zhou Yige about the most unforgettable experience in his life. Zhou Yige: Thank you for the invitation. Does it count if my childhood sweetheart and the proud son of heaven are together?

My Thoughts on What To Do if My Roommate Is My Love Rival?
This novel definitely had me hooked from the title alone, and after diving in, I can see why it has a solid 4.3-star rating. "What To Do if My Roommate Is My Love Rival?" is a blend of drama, romance, and slice of life with a good dose of shounen ai sweetness. It's a story about long-term pining, rivals turning into lovers, and finding love in unexpected places.
First Impressions
The premise is instantly appealing: a protagonist forced to live with the very person he sees as his romantic competition. The initial tension and awkwardness are palpable, setting the stage for a story filled with emotional ups and downs. I was intrigued to see how the dynamic would shift and whether the "rivalry" would truly evolve into something more.
What Works Well
The slow burn romance is a major strength. The male lead (ML)'s years of quiet devotion to the main character (MC) tugged at my heartstrings. The way he subtly tries to integrate himself into the MC's life, not in an overbearing way, but with gentle persistence, is incredibly endearing. It's a story of yearning and silent support that builds beautifully over time. The MC is a hard-working character striving to make his own way, and I enjoyed watching him navigate his personal and professional challenges. The dynamic between the leads is the highlight, with a pleasing balance of angst and sweetness. Their journey from rivals to lovers is well-paced and believable.
