This is a touching story about two people whose lives have been changed after a chance meeting. MC, has had a difficult childhood yet perseveres without complaint. However, due to his nature, he is prone to working too hard and has little self-respect. ML has had a similarly difficult childhood and is capable yet depressed and apathetic. Luckily, the two of them meet and are able to change each other for the better.

Spoiler

It is revealed that there are two characters in the novel who have been reborn. In the original history, ML likely committed su*cide, and MC overworked himself, leading to an early death, and the two had never met.

[collapse]

There was a touch of comedy and the prose was good. The antagonists aren't irredeemable, although it wasn't too difficult for MC and ML to take care of them. Overall, high quality fluff. <<less

3.5 stars. Sweet, fluffy, nothing particularly unlikable, many enjoyable sections, stretches on a bit longer than it should. The MC is op, but the ML is too op to the point of being a bit ridiculous, and it means there's not much tension because literally every single possible obstacle gets resolved via characters immediately kowtowing to the ML. I tended to enjoy the bits where the MC instead took care of himself.

Song Yu, though, is a stroke of brilliance. I'm rounding up to 4 for him. Had he appeared more... more>> often in the novel I'd have liked it better. <<less

Ok, currently I have been read this story until chapter 71 p. 1. This story is really worth to read. I cannot get enough to read it. I like the MC character the most. Even though he is a very happy person, he is not dumbo.. I still can feel his naivety and his misciviousness. I reall love him... And the author note really catch my attention. I like those kinds of note?. I recommended you to read it. You will never regret it (except this kind of story is... more>> not your cup of tea). <<less

I mtl completely to the end and it's pretty fluffy and cute, especially the authors notes. It's a fun read.

I like the MC's optimism, strength and resilience. His outlook on life and his perspectives are pretty admirable. ML's mental health issues could have been better addressed. All in all, fun read, enjoy!

➺ 3.5/5 🌟

Though I expected something more profound, this novel is still a fun read. Full of face-slapping moments which I always loved but the best part of this might be the MC and ML themselves. Zhao Zhao, a very precious sunshine that gives so much energy and Ting Ting, a gloomy but very generous and doting lover, both equally needs a proper protection. I loved them both so much. And though it is still a slow burn romance, the crumbs of dog food from them are scattered from the... more>> beginning so there's no shortage of sweetness. There are some trigger warnings you need to be aware of but this story is overall not that dark

tw: depression, child abuse, bullying, su*cide <<less

The Name is indeed very suitable for this novel. It described the whole novel and Reading it made me Very Happy.

MC is so cute and adorable, even the ML is so damn cute and adorable and the sweetness they spread together (~UwU) ~. I wonder when was the last time I find both MC and ML f*cking cute and damn adorable.

This was one of the sweetest and very happy novel I have read. You will be fed with dog food from the start despite this having a very... more>> slow romance. Plus the Author notes was like tasty desert, adding extra sweetness. My Baby Zhao Zhao and Ting Ting (˶¯ ꒳¯˵)

The thing that affected my rating and kind of bug me was the MC profession at the end.
Spoiler

How smoothly MC became the movie Emperor....... It a happy thing but I find it very lacking. This is the 1st time where I felt no spark or excitement when MC Became or got the Movie Emperor title. I was just like 'Oh, he got the movie Emperor award'. It felt more like since the novel is ending, let give MC the movie Emperor title.

Maybe its because of MC smooth sailing of MC in the industry because of ML help that I felt no spark. I know MC is hard working and talented actor that deserve to be in that position but because of ML who made MC industry life sail smoothly, everyone bowing before him because of ML and not because of MC himself that it kind of felt like MC didn't earn it. It is like he deserve it but it also didn't feel like he earn it himself.

But on serious note...... the whole showbiz Character were bit lacking for me. Even the 1st tier artist lack the aura to be called 1st tier artist for me. There was Honestly not a single majestic Character that gives the aura of 1st class celebrity. Plus MC not having a proper competitors made the title value decrease for me.

There was so much dog food in this book! I laughed, cried, and had a smile on my face at the last chapter. Definitely worth a read! I liked that all the characters brains were online including the side characters and had real personalities and were not just cardboard or character villains.

If you're like me and like stories that warm your heart, then I highly recommend this novel. I have no words to describe how much I love this novel. The disparity between the MC's and ML's outlook on life gives a good contrast. I'm a sucker for fluff and this novel was right up my avenue. I cried, I laughed, and I felt my heart being bruised but I was also uplifted. I don't know how to describe the feeling but if you've read it then you know what I... more>> mean. I guess it's true what they say, "one person, if it's the right person, can change your life" and the characters were that for each other. <<less

Highly recommended! I love this novel so much that I got caught up in digging other works by the same author, and so it took me a while to come back to review this. No doubt this novel will make you happy but it'll also make you shed many tears along the way.

My favourite character in this novel is the MC, Li Zhao. He's extremely talented, endearing, kind-hearted, upright, understanding, adorable, and very loving. He lived through a terrible childhood and yet he still grew up to be a cheerful... more>> and positive young man who brightens up anyone's day. I cried buckets reading about his struggles but felt uplifted by his never-say-die attitude and striving for excellence.

The ML, Yan Ting is also adorable and has gone through his own struggles. However, I'd say that among the 4 books I've read so far from the same author, less attention seems to have been given to ML here. Still, characters developed well throughout the novel.

Even if this may not be the best BL story, this book remains my favourite of all the BL I've read so far. I love the way the author builds the world in all her books with well-grounded and wholesome characters that develop with the pregress of the story. If you are looking for a heartwarming story to uplift your mood on a challenging day or something to surprise you on a good day, do give this book a try. <<less

Aaaawwww I LOVE THIS NOVEL

This is definitely one of the best I’ve read so far. There is not so much of adventure, more like a slice of life but it is never boring. The characters are so different and alive, some of their developments are even unexpected.

It a very heartwarming story with great characters and plot. The pace and romance a just right. It’s quite quite, sometimes sad or making you sentimental, but that’s all good. Almost no dog drama. Still, you can follow our main characters to develop and... more>> find a new side of life.

There are unexpected moments, there are bad and good twists but it’s so lovable that I’m at loss of word. I love how it start and ends. How the characters develop and what choices they make. It is very interesting to went in this book with them.

I will definitely read it again when I’ll feel sad or depressed. Strongly recommend! <<less

4.5 stars. Minor spoilers below:

This is a really sweet novel about Li Zhao and Yan Ting journey from a fated encounter to their happy ending. The majority of the novel centers around the entertainment industry with Zhao Zhao being an actor, trying to earn enough money for his sister/mother-like friend's surgery, and later on trying to find his parent. The novel touches on kids in well-fared homes and abandoned/kidnapped children. It really broke my heart reading in some instances. Zhao Zhao is an amazing person to grow up in such... more>> a harsh environment with an abusive past without being blemished. He is so strong both physically and mentally. So much optimism and positivity but not entirely naïve. Ting Ting, on the other hand, had been jaded by his crazy childhood and relatives, that Zhao Zhao is like the sun in his life. The thing I like the most about this novel, besides an overload of sugar content toward the end, is despite his crazy possessiveness, Ting Ting is willing to let go of Zhao Zhao and respect all his choices and freedom, always helping ZZ to become a better person. His love for ZZ is unconditional. I'm also glad that Zhao Zhao feels the same way toward Ting Ting. There were moments where I thought this would go the yandere route, but the love ended on a very healthy note, which was very refreshing.

Spoiler

The novel also touches on the troupe of rebirth but interestingly, not the MC nor the ML. It's actually 2 supporting characters, which funnily, their choices due to their rebirths actually made MC life better and allow both the MC and ML to meet. MC and ML previous life has been so tough and depressing that I'm glad they found each other in this life. Cheer to both Zhao Zhao and Ting Ting.

Similar novels: My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness

I completed it! It got a little long at the end, the author probably could’ve trimmed off a little fat. I also kept getting the characters confused cause there were a lot of similar names. Had to backtrack like... wait, which face did Li Zhao slap?
Regardless, it was a really fun read! I liked the main character, he seemed really innocent and dumb and the beginning but you later learn he’s pretty crafty.

Spoiler:

Spoiler

I was a little worried about male lead since he was very doting but he did give of major potential yandere vibes. I also felt like it was a slight plot hole that Yan Ting’s psychosis was never really discussed between the mains.

[collapse]

In many ways this reminded me of “My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness”. Personally, I thought that was a slightly better read but anyone you liked that novel will certainly like this one and vice versa.

The face slapping was exactly what I was expecting *chefs kiss*. Thought the story was a lot darker than expected and I cried a LOT because of the two main’s tragic backstories. Though overall I would say this is mostly a light-hearted entertainment novel with plenty of face slapping and a doting ML.

Would recommend. <<less

It was a good past-time read. There are no major plots in the story. In fact, I thought that it was linear. I expected Yan Ting's background to be revealed; his psychological problems to be exact but I was surprised that it wasn't tackled. It would be a great addition to the plot.

MC is a kindhearted but destitute and struggling actor. He meets the cold and mentally ill ML who provides him with a home and comfort. Ultimately a story more about healing and mutual support and fluff (with some slightly dark undertones) ; don't read if you want drama/conflict or something plot-heavy.

Pros

  • Earnest MC who is kindhearted, hardworking (but not naive)
  • Touching and sweet story, with some sad undercurrents
  • ML is not overbearing manipulative CEO (big yes!). Rather, he provides silent support and encouragement.
  • MC and ML have a meaningful relationship where they both enrich each other’s lives - ML appears to suffer from depression & schizophrenia, whereas MC has no family or friends to turn to for support. However, MC and ML together help overcome various challenges. (
    Spoiler

    The last extra hints that had they never found each other, MC would have died from overworking and ML would have committed su*cide

    [collapse]
    )
  • MC and ML discuss their feelings candidly (rare!)
Weaknesses

  • Fairly tropelike - everything wraps up super nicely... perhaps too nicely.
    Spoiler

    MC achieving success and stardom, ML resolving all his accumulated mental issues, orphaned MC reuniting with lost parents (this was a bit much), all their enemies getting their comeuppance etc

    [collapse]
    . But then again, the author isn't going for realism.
  • MC is effectively a white lotus - a kindhearted, talented and hardworking person who is loved by everyone.
  • Story has barely any conflict or tension. Not necessarily a weakness, but keep in mind this story is more about healing and fluff.

I have no words to explain what I felt reading this novel. I smiled, laughed, cried and wanted to scream in some moments but that isn't important.

As a person who doesn't understand how is to love and or be loved, this make me happy.

Super recommended.
