Synopsis
A desperate search for extra income takes a chaotic turn when Mi Xu posts a self-recommendation for part-time work on a university forum. Instead of finding a job, he discovers his message reached the wrong college, leading a crowd of students to mistake him for a notorious low-level hacker known as the City Grass. This legendary figure is rumored to be the most prominent man across the seven universities of U City, and suddenly, Mi Xu is flooded with requests for dates and personal information. The story unfolds as a breezy, low-stakes urban comedy where social misunderstandings drive the plot forward. The tone remains light and airy, escalating from a simple financial struggle into a whirlwind of campus notoriety. Those who appreciate gentle romantic developments and the humor found in mistaken identities will find this a satisfying experience, while those seeking heavy drama or complex world-building may find the simplicity lacking.

Editorial Review
The completion of the story in 119 chapters suggests a tight structure that avoids the bloating common in longer webnovels. Its primary strength lies in the comedic setup, utilizing the university setting to create genuine humor through the protagonist's confusion and the surrounding chaos. However, the simplicity of the conflict is also its main drawback; the plot relies heavily on a single misunderstanding, which may feel thin as the story progresses toward its conclusion. Given the urban love focus and the joy tag, it delivers exactly what it promises without overstaying its welcome. The relationship between Mi Xu and Chen Yuzong develops naturally within the confines of campus life, providing a cozy atmosphere. It functions well as a palate cleanser, though it lacks the emotional weight or intricate plotting found in more ambitious romantic dramas.
