Reborn as My Love Rival’s Wife

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

There once was a very popular question on the internet:

If one morning, you woke up and realized that your gender had changed, what would be your first reaction?

And someone on the internet had famously responded:

First, give your bros a good time!

Su Jian remembered that when he saw this reply, he had slapped the table to express his admiration. What a good bro! Such loyalty!

But now that he actually encountered this strange situation himself, he could only feel an extremely ball-breaking alarm, shocked grief, and frightened anger. F**k your mom! Ah, f**k! F**k it!

Oh, a correction. The above is grammatically incorrect. After all, poor Classmate Su Jian doesn’t have balls anymore.

The single best Gender Bender novel I have read.

The MC keep calling himself as "he" the entire novel showing how he is still consider himself a guy inside yet still fall for the ML.

The character feel so real and the plot is great.

5/5. But I give this a 4/5 for my own s*xual preference. Sorry.

This is more of a comedy than a romance, especially on the scenes where MC forgots he's in a woman's body and acts man-like, which contradicts his current gentle and feminine appearance. Overall rating: 3.9.

So the story starts at an accident between the MC and the ML's original wife. The MC's body dies and so does the wife's soul. Thus, as the title suggests, MC possesses the ML's wife's body upon waking up. The story narrates how the MC adjusts to his new body while improving his relationship with ML... more>> and their acquaintances (I don't think this warrants a spoiler tag so I didn't enclosed it in one).

It's a good read, one that's enough for passing time. I don't think a rating as high as 4.8 fits this though - maybe because it's comical and is a new concept (?) thus the high rating, but I've read stories with more holistic plots and more satisfying characters, so I'm not much impressed. Translation quality is good to - thanks ms./mr. Translator.

My only dislike (bordering hate already) is concretized at the end:

Spoiler

After all the trouble and experiences, MC STILL HASN'T TOLD ML WHO HE REALLY IS. That pissed me off so much - I mean c'mon, you're married, you even had kids, and yet you don't tell your partner to whom he swore to spend a lifetime with?! I know that it's unscientific, but you told your birth family, and even ask your partner 'if' questions regarding this (to which he resolved to love you whoever you are) BUT YOU STILL DON'T SAY IT! UGHH YOU ARE SO IRRITATING AS AN MC! You don't deserve the ML!

Read when you want a good laugh. <<less

Actually i've found this novel since long ago... well, you know, it has a high rating so it popped out rather frequent here and there. At first I ignore it because I dont have any appetite for straight or genderbend genre LOL.

But recently I read a straight romance novel, that is lack in romance lovey dovey part and heavier in plot side. So, I got a sudden crave for straight genre with little romance or lovey dovey part. And I encounter this again for the n-th time.

This novel is not... more>> heavy in drama or plot, if I may say it was only flowed freely, like it was only following what the author might like for the next chapter, like that. Doesnt really rely on the plot.

It is a romance, a budding romance, a journey of love, and a sweet pining from ML (guy) to MC (girl). It was a surprise that I could bear a romance between a guy and a girl LOL since my palate had been long ruined by yaoi taste.

But,

This is what makes this novel different. It is a genderbend, yes! This is a romance, yes! But somehow I could enjoy it very much! I love the comedy! And it is really interesting to see how a clueless virg*n old guy who loves pretty girls would do when he turned up into a girl.

It is interesting how the MC doesnt have the suspicious and jealous heart of normal girl towards those love rival LOL. Rather than of feeling envy and jealous when those pretty girls confront the MC, he worship them instead.

And many other perspectives from manly virg*n guy that is really funny and interesting, makes me laugh so hard at every chapter.

I love this novel for the comedy it offers! <<less

Not a long review this time:

What I enjoyed about this was its down-to-earth style (although it almost seemed too dry at the start, before it really picked up). While there's a dramatic premise (the soul migration, suddenly-a-woman premise), the plot drama is narrated in a more moderate, realistic way - and the story isn't all about stuffing as much drama in as possible, anyway. The same for the slow progression of the MC's acceptance of his life as a female and romantic feelings for a man. While I didn't usually... more>> laugh out loud, the humourous undertone added to the impression that this was a more intelligently-written story compared to many gender-bender-just-for-gimmick stories.

It's fairly easy to read and fairly satisfying to read, well-written and well-translated. <<less

omg! guys u have to read this... Its so damn entertaining.... its a romcom with lil romance and heaps and loads of comedy.. there are a lot of RoFL moments which just creep up at the end of evry 4-5 chapters.. unlike the title its not a rebirth story, its more of soul transfer, timeline is not changed, our main lead is single guy who has a bad romantic history, all the girls he date din college left him for the same person i.e his love rival... the story starts... more>> when the main lead gets into an accident and dies but his soul enters the body of the girl who incidentally happens to be the wife of his love rival...

So far there is only light drama, light angst and I hope it stays that way, also the update frequency is slow, so I come back every 2 months to catch up. <<less

Love it. Great story, its light, fun, characters are interesting and feel human, it uses a few cliches, but they don't feel heavy handed and only add a touch of familiarity. The translation is very good, easily readable.

The funniest story I've read in a long time. If you're looking for a light, comedic fluff-novel, then this is the story for you! I was literally laughing out loud reading this. It's absolutely hilarious. I can't wait for the next couple chapters to come out!

Su Jian, a common chinese man, suddenly died and have his soul transferred into a body of young woman whom already married with Mr. Popular back in his university days.

The series is as hilarious as the summary. Every chapter will make you laugh, there's no bitter misunderstanding nor useless drama. The character is extremely likeable (beside the villain of course). There's a need to understand some slang/chinese literature (which thankfully provided by the translator!) to further enjoying the story. Definitely recommended!

Finally a gender bender romance that's portrayed realistically (at least so far). And it's incredibly funny and well translated. The chinese romcom trope of everyone looking like a gods and goddesses is a bit annoying but it does not detract too much from the overall experience. 4.5/5

I can't tell if I'm bored or just tired of the MC. I do appreciate that the MC still refers to himself as a man despite the bodyswap... but I really don't like pervy male MCs and he's definitely that. On the one hand it is refreshing to have MC not be jealous of every love rival he meets - but that's just traded with him perving on them instead.

I'm also feeling bad for the ML because the comedy seems pretty focused on embarrassing him.

Had me laughing to the point of tears multiple times, genuinely crying at least once, and squeeing so much I was worried the neighbours would call the police (or an ambulance, or both)...

Not perfect, by any means, but deserving of 5 stars, and definitely worth giving it a go.

Okay, actually this is first chinese novel about gender-bender that I've read and that is..... good.

MC is really cute and even if 'he' is became 'she', doesn't mean he is forget about his identity before.

ML is not cool-careless-typical, but more realistic and sweet.

Well, of course, this is worth to read!

I don’t know how this book has such a high rating. It’s the type where you can scroll down several paragraphs without reading and not have missed a single thing. If you are looking for a good romance, don’t read this book. The male lead is the only driving force in the relationship, and you have to continually watch his advances be met with a slap in the face from the main character. There is some comedy in having that relationship dynamic, but by chapter 60 the romance wasn’t really... more>> advancing, the comedy wasn’t actually funny, and the book felt like a chore to read. Don’t waste your time; I wouldn’t recommend. <<less

Read 5 chapters, continued to skim through a little, and decided that it's just not for me.
I don't have a real criticism because I couldn't feel anything for the characters, the comedy couldn't make me even smile, the story didn't interest me that much. It was surprisingly super average, like room temperature, I couldn't feel its existence.
Oh, I guess I can say I didn't enjoy the MC, didn't like his questions and comments about money, those long inner dialogues were empty and annoying... That's it.

Nothing to say..... Just joking!!!!

Comrades, if you want a GB romance novel, comedy and rebirth then I think it's a good choice for beginners. The story is full of vanila and the hilarious daily life of the couple. It's a slow-burn but not that slow, it actually shows how they develop feelings to each other, despite the fact that the MC is a male reborn in a female body and is straight.

If you want something that can pass your time, this is definitely the read.

Took me a while to get into this novel. I found the MC s*upid in the first couple of chapters, but he/she grew on me and I ended up reading the whole book. It was quite funny and enjoyable, even if it's mostly a slice of life story (and a very sweet one at that). Not much happens, but it ended up being a decent and cute love story.

This is hands down one of my favourite things in the world. Thank you internet.

For those who are terrified by the tags and are still on the fence on whether or not to read it, I recommend going in with an empty mind and empty heart. Don't expect a serious plot or dogblood or anything along those lines. This is a comedy first and foremost, and while the romance isn't exactly slow burn, it takes a backseat to... uh, everything else going on.

If there's one con, ... more>>
Spoiler

the situation about his family/fiancee's knowledge of his body swapping is never truly resolved in full, which doesn't matter much in the novel, but would be pretty ass in real life. Which, thankfully it's not.

Binged the novel and normally I would feel at a loss and empty when I finish reading, but this time no negative emotions became present and all I feel is a sense of contentment.

What a sweet and comedic novel :') Both the protagonist are very likeable and the MC definitely brought in their personality making the novel such a pleasure to read! The ML is one of those rich CEO type ML's but he really doesn't fit into those stereotypes of being incredibly possessive or "will-do-some-crazy-outer-worldly" things just for the... more>> MC trope. ML is so lovable! MC is so lovable! Both of them are meant for one another! Now the question is when can I find a man like the ML? Lololol

So happy I came across such a gem!

Highly Recommend <<less

i already read this story a long time ago. However, was bored so I decided to read it again so here I am, dropping a review~

this is one of the best chinese webnovels out there. Seriously. The comedy is AMAZING. I remember reading this while im on a bus and the girl next to me was looking at me weirdly coz my shoulders were trembling despite trying hard not to laugh too much. Their chemistry is really great as well. I love how the MC didn't just fall in love... more>> with ML automatically coz they were "husband and wife" and she really reflected and thought hard about her feelings before responding to ML coz she doesnt want to half ass their relationship.

this is one of the best you guy. Read it. Im sure you'll love it as well. <<less
