Rebirth of a Movie Star

Description

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

In his previous life Bai Lang was a small star. He rejected his boss and foolishly engaged in a relationship which he thought was true love.

He didn’t expect that he would get betrayed, die of a heart attack and trouble his boss to accompany him on his last journey.

After his rebirth, he decided to give up on true love. As for his boss… since he wants something then just let him have it.

So this little star after his rebirth collected his boss, and then it became a true love story with his boss.

In between there are good friends/love rivals/scum men in the mix. A sweet story with a happy ending.

Oh the fluff! ? My heart was very blissful reading this. The only down part is that I wished for more details about intimate moments, nothing to explicit just a little something more. The plus though is the little bun. He was too cute, especially when he's talking about Azan! ?

This story has come to a surprise that it wasn't what I expected to read.

MC is was reborn again when a betrayal of a bastard was a big shock. Unable to stay calm, he died because of heart problems. And in his final moments of death he sees a glimpse of the aftermath, and the last scene before his final breath, was ML grief.

MC feelings was a bit complicated, but he felt like he needed to repay the kindness. So he became ML pet lover.

MC was hardworking but he is... more>> usually does it not because of fame or wealth. But he developed a liking to acting. His acting sure has become more refine with his rebirth. And when someone has done a good deed in past life he will do his best to repay them.

And what really made an impression with me that MC certainly doesn't like the bastard. He never attempts to destroy him. Because mainly he doesn't have the power to do so or the reasons to without having to receive a bad light.

The bastard does receive karma tho.

The author intentionally made MC having a father (cough*mother) image. As a small surprise happen when he became a father himself.

I don't read many BL where the couple have kids of their own without the mpreg. There's only one novel that I read does that. And there maybe some novels that are like that but I haven't come across them.

It's a nice story. There's no drama. And it's like a story where the MC is slowly loving ML (vice versa) and building their own family. Plus there's also a cute side story with the kid with another kid when they grew older.

It's not a revenge story and I do like this kind of MC that is still kind but level headed. The ML is overbearing but he is very sweet to MC. <<less

Pretty average as a rebirth show bizz story goes which isn't bad at all. There are a few qualities which bring this story out from the crowd.

The ML is pretty chill most of the time. Although there are elements of the overbearing possessive president type. He has a, shall wee say, fairly long leash on the MC.

MC is also pretty cool about it. Altough bitter isn't overly aggressive towards his family.

2nd male scum lead is mildly interesting, because of his bis*xual plight and his feelings (obsession?) for the MC which... more>> doesn't really come to any fruition until the end.

The ML's kid also adds a fun element, but also upsetting the upset value whenever anything bad happens to him.

Otherwise it's pretty typical showiz reincarnation. Nasty family, tr*sh talking fans, future money investment stuff, face slapping, etc. Defenty worth a read if you like this genre. <<less

Read through MTL

Good story but at some point the revenge plot gets kinda stale. Relationship dynamics improve though and I'm happy for the MC and ML. 4 stars

Light and enjoyable. It's basically a second chance face slap story where MC was pretty OP (from years of experience in previous life), collected golden fingers, and eventually won at life with minimum struggle. But all is done moderately and more realistically than most novels thus it's nice to read.

The characters were likeable. MC was mature, knew how to use his brain, and good at dealing with emotions. The ML at first glance might be your typical hissy pissy tyrannical CEO ML, but he had his own charms. I... more>> found myself laughing a lot at his words, and when it comes to feelings, he was sincere and straightforward, so no pointless drama.

Now to what I didn't like in this story.

Spoiler

The villains could be so much better:

  • Su Quan - I feel bad for him honestly. It's true that he chose career over love, but we have to remember that it was 10+ years ago when he was just starting out and was probably naive like we all were. The contract with Hong Yu was for 12 years but at the end HY decided that lol nah so he was trapped in that relationship. He was a villain with valid motivation and his life really depended on escaping. The characterisation was off with a good start but fell flat because the author decided to lower his IQ and made him really villain-y. He wanted out, ok? How about ruining relationships with his friends blatantly (e.g. The birthday party scene, gosh I hated that so much) to the point he actually decided to kill MC. I think he could just maintain the friendship and pulled the strings within his power (including ML's) to get out of that situation. But nah, he had to be the really bad guy with bad work ethics and jealousy, unable to control his emotions etc. He had so much more potential than the shits he pulled (remember, he was the film emperor), which makes his arc disappointing.
  • Kang Yian became incredibly s*upid towards the end. In the previous life, he could two time the MC to the point of engagement, destroyed MC in such roundabout way, and lured someone significantly powerful to marry. But this time around he was reduced to be just a petty, h**ny dude. And the worst he did in this life, honestly? Trying to expose MC was being kept as a sugar baby and lusting over the MC? He wasn't really a threat by any mean and his whole storyline was really overkill.
  • Other minor villains were just some brainless goons, existed only to be used as stepping stones for MC. They went in head first with their grudges even when MC was gaining substantial popularity (which made him a valuable asset to the company) and known to have the backing of ML. Which is why I said this was basically a face slap fan fare just with more moderation and realism.

I think what missing from this story was more elaboration on the previous life. What were people's feelings and motivations in doing things? How did ML's feelings for MC develop over time? It could make things a lot clearer and the "revenge" more worthwhile.

Lastly, I don't know if it's lost in translation or something else but it feels like it needs quite a bit of revision to improve overall consistency and story flow.

[collapse]

Overall while I enjoyed it a lot, it had its flaws. If you are wondering if you should read it, just do. I think it's going to be hard for anyone to hate this story. <<less

I read this before under my "Good to read again" section. I just realized I never reviewed this and this is my second time reading it. Hmm? Anyhoo's; This novel is a great length and good to read to give you feels. The characters are great, the MC is smart and steady, and the ML is not overbearing. This novel gives you a sense of a cozy family with some interesting arcs. It is worth the read... keep it bookmarked.

5 because of the relationship between MC and ML and the feeling it left me after I was done reading, objectively maybe a 4? I loved the mutual healing for the two of them, although there are some issues with how they get together and how/when they fell in love, but by the end of it I was happy with the whole story.

I truly did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did... bcs I've read a few rebirths/entertainment novels. it's usually the same plot w the same kind of ml.

BUT THIS ML THO. I f*ckING LOVE HIM??? LIKE HELLOO.

dude dresses like some gangster and in the extra, ... more>>
Spoiler

their wedding, altho on an island. didn't end up being this big ass thing but was casual and in line w their characters of being like 'whatever' and yet f*cking romantic omg.

[collapse]
and also, it might be a low bar... but he didn't stop the MC from having kiss scenes or throw a huge tantrum. he took it like a man HAHAHAHA.

HIS KID WAS A HUGE PLUS TOO. HE'S SO PRECIOUS OMG. ARGH.

I also liked it when he was tryna be overbearing when he said
Spoiler

"Tomorrow you speak straight into the camera, and say when did my man become your man!'

[collapse]
HAHAHAHA. IT WAS HILARIOUS. his jealousy is quite funny but he doesn't make a big show out of it.

I liked how he handled mc's grievances as well as how he listens to mc's view too.

idk how to explain this well but I like the rs between the MC and the ml. it feels very... balanced/fair? idk. like the ML isn't too overbearing and the MC isn't too submissive. they both know each other's weak point (which is themselves) and would push it but only bcs it doesn't hurt the other and is a good choice. like the MC knew ML would relent so he just coax him. it's cute hahaha.

I like this MC as well. I truly appreciate this mc's way of thinking when he started a new life. he didn't purposefully seek out the one who betrayed him and just focused on his own life. I haven't seen this before (I have to read more ngl) and it's fresh for me. his way of thinking or slowly embracing how his actions have truly changed his way of life is nice and satisfying.

I also like the kind of MC that is resigned and even if he falls first, he doesn't make it his whole personality. he views it very logically and doesn't go by emotion and I appreciate it. there was even one point where the ML says
Spoiler

"you're even crueler than me."

[collapse]
bruh. I sobbed.

I sobbed twice in this novel. one in the main and one in the extra. both were relevant to the MC. the first was a turning point in their rs. the second was bittersweet.

I also liked that this started off as a sponsor kinda situation and they f*cked HAHAHAHAHAHAH. we can obv tell that ML rly likes him tho.

anyway... while reading I had a lot of sh*t to say but my brain just...

oh. the retribution is satisfying to those people involved. (altho is mostly the ML's doing, the MC does acquiesce to it.) the ML is ruthless while the MC is quite forgiving but knows the bottom line.

anyway. I liked it and this would prob be one whereby I would want to read again. (and I never like to reread. :/) <<less

This is a really good read but the sweet story part of the description is a little misleading. There are evil characters and some situations are really serious. But the main characters are very likeable and the relationship progresses rather naturally despite the fact that they start being together very early on and as a monetary transaction. The ending is extremely satisfying and lovely. I enjoyed it a lot.

It's a decent feel good story, with pretty satisfying face-slapping and wholesome family interaction with an adorable ball.

A recommended option if you need fluff and a break from books with convoluted plots and conflicts with intrigues and schemes everywhere. I came to read this book after reading a book with an ancient time settings centering on palace intrigues so this book was a breath of fresh air with its relatively simple and straightforward plot.

The story has plenty of lacking points too, but the very fact that despite these points, it... more>> managed to hook my attention all the way to the end is enough to show it's still a pretty good story in the end.

Okay, so, back to to the critical flaws, the story honestly could use a bit of work on detail on the narration of the story and the author should really put some more effort on the extras considering as we're left with a bunch of extras but no significant build up on their background and stories so they end up feeling quite 2D.

Also, I think the author has trouble with expressing and narrating emotional scenes coz most of the parts that have heavy emotional weight like when ML got into an accident or when MC got a little depressed or when MC went to film the Rong Airlines advertis**ent and had a heart to heart moment with the little ball, even the movie Ending. All these parts was skimmed over or portrayed in 3rd person's POV.

And I would have loved to get an extra on ML's POV after MC's death in OG timeline along with an extra on QXH's POV on his relationship with RZ. And speaking about the little ball's relationship, I supposed it was a little rushed and again, missing all the heavy emotional details. <<less

My rating is 3.5-4. I know tons of people like this story and I agree that it does have a good mix of romance (despite the dubious beginning), nice faceslapping and rise to fame plus a cute kid.

However, in my opinion, the author does more "tell" instead of showing the story through actions. The author loves to word vomit instead with events happening in a narration instead of us experiencing it through the characters. For example: Kang Jian is sent to a film crew which deals with drugs and his... more>> reputation drops. We find that out almost immediately and know what's happening with him. Or Bai Lang goes through this movie Ending and has mild depression - we see Qiu Qian bringing him out for bike rides and we know he's skinnier but we don't experience Bai Lang's ups and downs with him. Even Qiu Qian's injury is summarized in a chapter and we don't experience the problem Bai Lang faces with him.

This makes me feel detached from the story. It's a good plot and cohesive but its just so much description of the story instead of showing the story.

I did enjoy reading the story but it isn't a fave of mine. <<less

Great translation! I agree with the tler as the author has some inconsistency with the names of their characters but it's ok because they’re just names and do not affect the plot. No plot holes! Great characterization, love the drama, and there’s a child!!!! Love Xiao Hao so much! The smut isn’t explicit which I love.

Good story, even extras was all right and didn't ruin impression of the book.

Some points I especially liked:

When reborn first thing Bai Lang thought - what for? His closest people betrayed him and he was depressed and didn't know what for all this? It was good representation of people who don't live for revenge. People are different and like finally we got protagonist that after being reborn is confused and depressed. Sit in dark room and only slowly start actions after his phone rings. Only after starting working he got... more>> that feeling that hey let's live better if we got a chance.

That motherly look full of helplessness and doting that Bai Lang give to Qiu Qian. And Qiu Qian was wtf is going on? I just adore that moment 😆💕 it's soo funny and cute 😍

That at the end of book they shared everything that couple should share, including Bai Lang rebirth. <<less

I have completed reading this story. I remembered that I have read some of the few chapters of this story because I was familiar with the plot but I didn't get to finish maybe because the translation was not finished that time yet.

I stayed up until 5 am to read this story and when I woke up, I immediately read this story. This story is good. Not the best that I have ever read. (I read a lot of novels already so I have high standard)

I can definitely say... more>> that this is worth reading. I love the bond of Bai Liang and the son of Qiu Qiang.

However, I could say that Qiu Qiang was toxic at first. Bai Liang sold himself to Qiu Qiang and there are non-consensual scenes before when Qiu Qiang forced to kiss Bai Liang while intoxicated. Qiu Qiang also did a lot of shady methods (whether it is in the past or present)

Also, I changed my mind and I will rate this as 2.5 star because how their relationship started is not normal. Also, Bai Liang only initiated to be used by Qiang because he feels indebted to Qiu Qiang during their past lives. I could say that Bai Liang started to live Qiang afterwards and they genuinely love each others. It's just that how their relationship started is toxic and cray cray. This story has a normal and cliché face slapping story which I read a lot of times already (I have read a lot of face slapping novels especially when the MC or ML is celebrity) it is the cliché plot of hateful family hating the MC and there are a lot of face slapping. Also, rebirth concept is no longer unique and the plot made it more cliché <<less

The storyline presented by the author is very interesting.
The writing is very orderly and detailed so that the storyline can be obtained properly.
ML and MC's character development is very good, the interactions between the MCs and the ML family are so adorable.
The life of an MC who prefers to focus on a better future rather than revenge is the main attraction of this story.

COMPLETED. This was an easy read. Fun, entertaining, with enough face-slapping to be exciting, but mostly fluff. This is more of a relaxing read, you will enjoy it.

The MC is likeable and doesn't have a huge gold finger since due to the butterfly effect things start changing immediately after his resurrection. This made it more believable and interesting. The ML is good. He is OP, pretty possessive and very loyal. Not my favorite ML I've ever read but he was ok. The son is cute and a sweetie, the extra... more>> at the end about him was super cute and could have been its own novel.

My only complaint about it is that the author can get a bit rambly sometimes. Like you are in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden the author thinks it is a great time to info dump a whole bunch of background on something mentioned or the person the conversation is taking place with. This makes it seem disruptive and can sometimes make you impatient since you just want to know how the conversation ends. This is a minor thing, maybe more of a personal annoyance.

The translation is excellent, with very few typos and the flow is great. I love the little explanations being inserted in the paragraph versus being footnotes, it made it easier to read. <<less
