*The formatting is terrible on mobile I'm so sorryThis is an ugly but hopefully informative carrd on 188
Notes: The summaries are in both cn and eng, cn summaries are from the official release on iqiyi if the novel is on iqiyi, if not I stole it from zhenhunxiaoshuo because most 188 novels have been taken down from jjwxc. Eng summaries are translated by me.
The character profiles arts are all official, fandom nicknames are just what I see when going around bilibili, don't take my word for it too much.
Personal notes are very personal, try not to let them effect your reading experience.
I've had people ask before, I Will Not put novelupdates/translation links on here. The tl links in Misc are just personal translations of people in the 188 server. This carrd was originally made for 2 friends of mine and I have no idea how it got so popular. It was pretty much made for my friend group and it still is.If you have inquiries/suggestions feel free to contact me, as for how to contact me, let's leave it up to fate.

Personal Notes: Luo Yi is my favourite 188 character, ever. The plot is absolutely amazing. Luo Yi's not scum. I swear. Just a psychopath.While other gongs would all regret the bad things they did that made the shou hate them, I believe Luo Yi does not. He would do it again, because love is not his top priority, his goal is. And I love that. Also just... by the end of the novel, all the fake flawless acting he can do to hide his psychopathic self away, just to make Xiaohui happy... Luo Yi is just so well written.
Also Wen Xiaohui badass pretty boy

Personal Notes: THIS IS THE ONLY NOVEL WHERE THE CHARACTERS HAVE DIFFERENT FANON COLOURS I'M MAKING YOU BOTH WHITE TO SPARE MYSELF THE PAIN (Light blue for Li Yu, red for Jian Suiying)
This novel gives me complicated feelings. Great character dynamics, but... the book itself... It's a contest to see who can be more of a terrible person. (Tries to noncon each other)If you insult Li Yu don't be shy meet me in my DMs we can talk :DThis ship is the most popular 188 ship, Jian Suiying is also the most popular 188 shou, and this is the only novel where in canon, the gong/shou positions have reversed.

Warning/Tags:

-Military setting
-War
-Psychological torture as training
-Deaths of minor/unnamed characters. Because war
-霍乔 needs a warning. Love him tho
*IMPORTANT the official profiles says ages 21 and 23. They are not 2 years apart. They are 4. This is due to the fact that the official profile of Bai Xinyu refers to him at the start of military training, while Yu Fengcheng's refers to him AFTER Bai Xinyu's military training.Personal Notes: Forget romance. Forget the 渣男 plot this is supposed to have as part of 188. This is the sexiest, sexiest, story I have ever read. The military setting. The training. The side characters (陈靖 be my mom I love you). THE SHOU'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Mwah. Love this story. This is the best book I've ever read.
At least it would be, if it wasn't for the later half of the book. Now I'm disappointed. Bai Xinyu could've been my favourite shou of 188, but he ruined it. Bitch, I was rooting for you. You're overreacting, really. (Extremely personal opinons here)
...Actually I can't blame it all on him. Blame it on the author for making me remember this is a 渣男 novel, and not a sexy military novel.Also it seems the older fandom used to use pink for Bai Xinyu, but now I mostly see green,,,

Warning/Tags:

Personal Notes: For years, Yuan Yang was known as the least scum. There's a saying "原炀靠爹进188" meaning Yuan Yang only entered 188 because of his father. While all the other shous eventually broke up with the gong because they either found out about something bad the gong did before, or could not forgive an action done by the gong, Gu Qingpei never got mad at Yuan Yang. If the "thing he did" was outed just between the 2 of them, forgiveness would've come quick. Rather, it really is all Yuan Yang's father's fault that they broke up.
While reading this, I strongly thought "oh god I know something is going to happen to set off the 追妻, but noooo I like you guys being happy together ಥ_ಥ" Even though I don't ship it much. Probably just because this was my last 188 and I was getting so goddamn tired of 追妻Yuan Yang is good really I feel bad for him.

Personal Notes: Yan Mingxiu is my son, and I will personally fight everyone that shits on him. He's definitely done terrible things, he's fucking stupid from beginning to end, and I have nothing to say in favour of him.
Yet, in my opinion and also many others, he's suffered the most retribution for what he's done. I can look at him and say "That's enough, Yan Mingxiu has suffered enough". I am neither ignoring what he's done to Zhou Xiang or the irreparable damage done to Zhou Xiang, I'm simply saying on Yan Mingxiu's side, he's suffered enough. I hope he gets to live a happy life with Zhou Xiang from now on.Also @ fandom STOP MAKING SO MANY BLIND JOKES I HATE YALL, DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS BLIND BEFORE READING THE NOVEL, PLS DONT OVER-MEME

Personal Notes: I really... don't have much to say about this one. Uhhh Zhou Jinxin is described to have black hair in the novel idk why he's ginger now.
Just look at Zhou Jinxing. Look at him. That is the face of a cheating man, a person who will show up out of nowhere with a mistress, a man who will have 3 wives with all of them thinking they're the only one.
Why is Ding Xiaowei so tanned. You drive cars all day. That's it.
I actually really wanted this couple to get back together faster. Not because I like either of them or ship it, but the daughter deserves her male mommaWhy do I not remember Ding Xiaowei having anything to do with a Logistics Company ever

Personal Notes: Gong Yingxian is recognized by both the fandom AND the author as not zha at all. Or at least, the least zha. He just has trouble communicating!!! He's a good boy I swear. He has a snake. Baby boy....And because he's not zha, this novel is the longest of all, with over 200 chapters and it took 100 entire chapters for them to fuck. Song Juhan fucked in ch1. Smh.
This novel actually has plot, and not just 渣男 romance.

Levels of Infidelity*PLEASE CHECK BOTTOM FOR NOTES
Cheaters
Zhou Jinxing
Non-virgin, has sex with others during breakup periods/before getting together
Virgin, has sex with others during breakup period
Non-virgin
Virgin
THIS WAS FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES. I personally cannot stand fans who adamantly only read virginxvirgin.It's debatable, Song Juhan. Did he sleep around a lot while with He Gu? Yes. But He Gu knew about it, and in that time they were also more of "Friends with Benefits" rather than a couple. Up for you to decide....Zhou Jinxing... does not have sex with anyone else while he's with Ding Xiaowei. You can't call him a non-cheater though...Li Shuo tried to have sex with another person during breakup period, he just never went through with it
In Which I Try To Come Up With A Reading Order
The "groups" are novels in which the characters show up in each other's novels
Group A
In order of release:
娘娘腔 (2010)
附加遗产 (2015)
谁把谁当真 (2016)
In chronological order:
附加遗产
娘娘腔
谁把谁当真
For Group A, I reccomend reading it in order of release. Otherwise you may be very confused, as the plots are quite heavily intertwined. Post-canon characters from 灰大叔与混血王子 (2011) appear in 谁把谁当真
Group B
In order of release + chronological:
你却爱着一个傻逼 (2011)
小白杨 (2014)
For Group B, although the characters are referenced a lot in each other's novels like Group A, you don't neccessarily need to read them in order. Post-canon characters from 娘娘腔 appear in 你却爱着一个傻逼
Group C
In order of release:
职业替身 (2012)
针锋对决 (2012)
一醉经年 (2015)
In chronological order:
职业替身
一醉经年
针锋对决
The characters and plots in Group C are less connected than in Group A, so reading order isn't important. Essentially 职业替身 and 针锋对决 have nothing to do with each other, but they both appear as side characters in 一醉经年.
In 火焰戎装 (2019), post-canon characters from 一醉经年 make appearances, and 职业替身 characters are briefly mentioned
