There is no base story or a fixed CP (like other quick-transmigration stories). There's not much of plot in the mini-stories - no revenge or any scheming/planning - the journey from Scum male to Prince charming is rather too quick...

Each arc is just the MC going into the body of a scum guy, then becoming a perfect man, and living happily ever after with that world's FL. There's no information on his pov or any insight on his feelings etc...

Think of this story as a collection of perfect romances...

100% recommended.. I really salute the MC.. He never ooc and I really wish Wei Mingyan is real and like previous review says I really want to be the FL that marry Wei Mingyan.. He’s like the real Prince Charming ever.. It’s a very light reading and I usually get bored with QT novels but I really like this story a lot.. I could never be like Wei Mingyan whom could act his character so well.. He could fall in love with the FL in every arc within a second... more>> and after his task finish meaning he die, he revert back to his own character and then keep on pampering and loving different FL in every arc.. Truly respect him and thumbs up for the writer in this novel.. ???? <<less

So far this its the comfort food of novels, 100% doting, capable, no hardships, gentle, loyal, humble, filial, good, handsome, smart MC. He is just PERFECT, yet its great!!! Plus the worlds stories are kinda more unique than in other quick wear novels, my personal favorite thing to read was the sadly too often seen type of ML´s (you know rapist, violent, controlling, cold, selfish, hypocrite, arrogant, amoral, that would not know consent if it hit them in the face) been replaced or kick down and brushed aside by... more>> the MC.

So far its easy to read the novels as a bunch of similarly themed short stories. Its harder at least to me to enjoy if you consider it as the one novel it is. We havent yet see whats going through the MC´s head, for all we know he is all negative things inside his head or even a emotionless automaton going through the motions, or perhaps what we see its actual self, who knows. <<less

It is by no means bad, and the MC is so refreshing, especially seeing the usual genocidal machines we have in Chinese stories. The problem is that the story is kinda too simple.

Amongst other quick transmigration like novels, I think this one is worth the read. I think it's unique in that it's from the perspective of a male transmigrator in straight/BG worlds. I also think it's unique in that it has story arcs that I haven't seen in other similar novels, and it doesn't recycle common tropes or plots that you would find in other novels.

However while the story arcs are unique compared to story arcs from other novels, there's definitely a set structure within the arcs in this novel.
Spoiler

It's obvious from the title, but yes, MC does take over body of scum male who has done wrong to the FL and does his best to prevent any harm coming to the FL by solving prior misunderstandings, becoming a changed man, and spoiling them to death once they're together, never letting the FL experience any ounce of hardships. Honestly, this ML's thigh is definitely one to hug. He has the perfect solution to everything that happens/will happen.

[collapse]
I wasn't really satisfied with the ending, it honestly felt a bit abrupt, but mainly to the fault of the author not building up so much on it during the arcs.

TLDR: While the general structure of each arc is a bit repetitive, it's definitely worth a read just for the unique arcs and stories, as well as the dog food that comes along with it.

4/5 rating but rated higher here to even out the negative reviews so other people will read.

Tbh... It is a very good novel... When I read it I always knew everything he did are all pretend and strategies but I still fell and cried my eyes out. And as time goes on I felt chill cuz our MC doesn't put real motions into those actions they are all acting. Well why do I say so...

1. In my opinion, he washes his love for his loved one so quickly after his life in each world ended without rest and continue to love someone else deeply in his... more>> new mission (that how it show when he start another world)

2. Our MC will stand out of the plot if it not threatening to the life or it will ruin his upcoming plans. He will not interfere or try to prevent it. He will only to rescue when it happens to make everything reasonable (like the doctor world, he knows the original father will have a car accident but he will not come to prevent it cuz it will make everything contrast with his persona. He only goes there to rescue and make it a coincident.) in my point of view, he is really a Schemmer and good at planning. It so good to the point of scary cuz we don't really know what he thinks of any of his action is real or fake.

3. The author never write how he look at things or what his origin was. Only built a perfect person and make him a dreamy man. He act of that set without tires for a lifetime. And continue to do so like a robots that has programs set up with various persona. His vest never fails. In my opinion it is really scary cuz he could really pretend.

And all that said if u ignore all this, we will got a very good emotional novel I cried bucket tbh. <<less

This is more like a series of short stories rather than a true transmigration novel, but if you are looking to scratch this particular itch, then it's very satisfying. It gives you the same satisfaction as popping a pimple & applying skin care, a sort of healing feeling when you see the original disgusting wrongs of the story righted by the replacement MC. All the things that could ruin these women's lives don't happen anymore, & sometimes it sounds too good to be true, heck, even the female leads in... more>> each world say repeatedly that it's like a dream, but I think it's a happy & hopeful dream that he's offering. It's a dream that could trap anyone with how sweet it is, even if it's a lie that he's made up, because he commits to the lie until death, & makes the women feel fulfilled & loved. It's a dream no one would want to wake up from, & reading this series is like indulging in that dream, knowing it's not truly such a beautiful life that we lead, but longing to hear that 'happily ever after' anyways.

I have to say, even knowing it was an act, I cried several times for the beautiful lies that this man made up, that have saved so many lives. Even if it's not real, I like it very much. <<less

It's good. I mean, it really is good.

Just, I think that 'quick transmigration' thing has no meaning at all. I mean it. There's no reward, there is no reason. The author never write the story from ML's point of view, the story just flow as if the personality that ML had was his own personality while we know that he's acting. 100%. It's as if this story just like another normal story without transmigration. It's as if the author make QT just so the story can jump from one arc... more>> to another. While we never knew why the hell the ML persistenly to do the task perfectly when we never knew his reason or motivation, and we knew that there is no reward from the system.

But really, he is acting, okay? 100%. And we never knew what he did, what he planed, or whatever things he did to make things happens. And we didnt know which one is a coincidence and which one is something that he planed. We didnt know what way did he use to complete the task, and why did he want to complete the task?
But overall it's good. At least to fulfill my daily doses for sweetness. And seriously, I really want to asked the author 'what the hell is that QT thing for?' hahaa <<less

3.5⭐

It's quick transmigration with a male MC. I have read the same type of novel previously of this author and I LOVED it!

However, compared to the previous one, this one fell short, I admit.

... more>> If I'm not wrong, the author wrote this novel first and then she wrote Lin Shiheng's Good Man's Operation Guide, which I absolutely adored.

It is obvious how the author's writing improved arc after arc here. Especially the first few arcs were kinda giving similar vibes. They were not the same exactly but the male lead was giving protecting-the-unfortunate-love-interest-for-a-lifetime trope.

So that kinda s**ked.

However, the arcs in the middle soon became interesting so much so that I had to burn midnight oil.

So yeah, I get the low ratings.

And maybe, I am kinda biased here. But this is my sh*t for sure.

Wei Mingyan, as a character, does not have as much charm as Lin Shiheng did in the other novel by the same author. But I noticed that he has a righteous streak of delivering karma. It was particularly satisfying.

You can say that many arcs had the similar vibe going on or there wasn't enough variety of genres. However, I'd have to say that the author definitely has a knack for writing emotional scenes. There was homour alright, but there were many many instances where my pillow was drenched with tears because of the characters.

And most of all, if you particularly like face-slapping Chinese web novels, then it is just the right thing for you!

The arcs:

● Scum Dad Who isn't Scum (with all the face-slapping, it was actually quite sweet)

● Scum Man of the 90s (Oh, the long journey of face-slapping and pampering starts from here)

● Breaking News, the Movie Emperor is Scum (finally some talk about animal abuse. The antagonist was a literal disgusting psychopath fr🤮🤮🤮)

● Unfilial son and Phoenix Man (the doctor set up untouched by dust of the mortal world)

● Good Teacher (one word-SCUM!)

● The Pretentious Rich Second Generation (the villagers in this arc were the worst! It made my blood boil😡😡😡)

● The Mythical Charlatan (my most favorite arc of the whole novel. Every character were connected so intricately, it was impressive. I probably cried and smiled the most in this arc)

● Scum or Little Puppy (for the first time we get a strong dominant love interest here)

● The Bandit Emperor (the plot here was one of the best for sure and finally some historical action)

● My Hobby is Pretending to be Human (it was unique, touching, hilarious and tragic🥺🥺🥺)

● Scumbag Ghostwriter (typical entertainment industry trope)

● Journey to Look for Family in the Apocalypse (the timing of WM's entrance in the plot even made me face-palm myself🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️)

● The Scum Man from a Patriachal Family (Granny Wei was something tho🤣🤣🤣)

● I am a Good Emperor (Wei Mingyan, just admit that you're lazy, even the transmigrater played right into your hands😆😆😆)

● Bad Student (the pairing of Father Wei and Mother Wei was hilarious😂😂😂)

● The Old Master of the Monasticism (I don't know if the title is quite right as I have read it in mtl, but the royal cat's life tho😩😩🤌🏻🤌🏻)

● The Villain of the rebel faction (the only xianxia arc in the novel, this title also has same problem as the previous one)

Overall, it was great for binge reading. Some arcs also may seem a bit redundant. It is obvious that author was still developing her style while writing this. She even admits to it at the end of the novel. So give it a go, if you want to read an average to slightly higher-middle level bingeworthy novel.

However, for QT, the other novel by the same author, Good Man's Operation Guide, is one of the best. And I cannot recommend it enough! <<less

At the beginning the story is kinda flat where the original story is told and MC kinda fix his scumbag self and guard the mission person.

All the plot that happen in original somehow will always happen.

Like if there is a kidnapping in original story with tragedy then the kidnapping still happen but MC will save the day. It is like there is a power of plot that makes the event happens but the ending can be changed.

... more>> the vacation world is more flexible though it is still guardianship.

MC is overpowered from the beginning where he can do anything and also create his business kingdom in every world. In the end his identity was told but how he become that OP is not explained. <<less

Just treat it as if it were a compilation of stories or even the MC being forced to fully immerse himself in acting because that's what's he's doing. We could not grasp yet who he is besides his name, but we could tell that he's very quick and clever on how to whitewash the OG likee real quick, maybe it's charisma? I really don't know but he can manipulate a lot of people to feel good about his person.

It's a decent novel. But you really can't treat it as a novel with a transmigrator that completes tasks. The MC have no original personality at all. He's very immersed in all his roles, thus the story is kind of like tens of stories that compiled into one book.

The pampering is great though, just wish there's more scenes into the romance part of the stories. Also last thing, every arc there's always a long monologue from the Villains, which are extremely hateful. I just skim or skip it most of... more>> the time. <<less

People talking about non-realistic stuffs in this novel don't know what the Fantasy Genre here is for,

It's Fantasy, Fiction, or so, Names, characters, places and incidents are products of the author's imagination.

Must've been a newbie at NU or Fantasy/Transmigration community,

Also... Great Novel! But sad thing is that he needed to leave the world, and forget about it, it just so sad thinking about his Family...

It's quite a good read and entertaining enough. The first arc is soooo mediocre, but it gets better. I had to stop at this chapter because mtl is too hard to comprehend. I don't get why the other reviews hate on this because MC pampers whoever the system says he should pamper. Isn't that the goal of a world-hopping MC? To complete his tasks in every world. We get bits of romance, but it's not really fleshed out.

He's also not devoid of emotions. Actually, this is the part that I... more>> didn't like about this QT. Instead of being a character who should have collected a bunch of skills due to world-hopping, he becomes the 'actual' person he transmigrates into. For example, if the body he occupies for one arc is a silly dumb boy, he also becomes a silly dumb boy even in his thoughts. It's so lackluster how MC does not bring his experiences as he hops into different worlds. I don't know if it's actually part of the plot or the author just forgot that MC is someone who has lived through various worlds. <<less

This novel has many flaws, but it's a good ride for me. Although I don't know what's the system or why he should transmigrated in 'novels', I like his acting (lol). If you want to read short stories with almost no conflict and has a happy ending, then you might like this novel.

Spoiler

Wei Mingyan is a National Teacher who was buried in a snowy mountain by the Royal Family, they hoped that Wei Mingyan can be resurrected in the future to assist the Royal Family descendant. Wei Mingyan reincarnated in a lot of worlds to do 'good deeds' so that he can be resurrected. After he finished his reincarnation cycle, he went back to the snowy mountain and helped that Zheng girl because she's the Royal Family descendant. (I think) he opened a book store as a memorial because he went through a lot of novel worlds.

I'm giving this a fairly high rating for now because it's pretty unique in the transmigration genre of stories on NU.

It was refreshing to read a male!MC QT (quick transmigration) novel with a very pro-active protagonist who's goal is to turn tr*sh into a good person.

The stories are mostly romantically geared (but later on there will be arcs / breaks that won't have such a goal), so most people can take this as bite-sized bits of QT-romance.

Readers have complained that there isn't really a backstory and MC doesn't have an... more>> "original" personality -- this is all valid criticsm. The arcs are best enjoyed like separate episodes of a TV show that weren't interconnected. The MC's real personality isn't really the focal point of the story, and the author will basically never reveal it.

Spoiler

If you really want a spoiler, the MC's preference are for the arcs without any romance. When he takes a break, he acts as some kind of elder (father/uncle) type figure and is kind of like those wise Taoists with magical skills.

Oh, he's also always extremely handsome and youthful even if he is 50 yrs old in those arcs.

[collapse]

Overall, I recommend this as a very relaxing / slice-of-life read.

Translation isn't bad; I read the raws after chapter 80 (in Chinese). <<less

This is a feels good novel. We might not know what the MC feels inside but that's kind of the beauty. After reading the summary, you'll know.

I actually cried in the first arc. Like wow. It gets a little repetitive after that but it feels so good to be living in the fantasy along with the Female Lead. It might all be fake but that's the bitter-sweetness.
