Nice story, writing free of common off-putting typos or incessant repetition. Characters doesn't contradict common sense. Serendipitous meetings evolve into complementary relationships. Typical for its genre but maintains hook of story with every chapter, smooth read.

Up until ch 85, my score is 4.5 because of how easy it reads & for not having a major turn off in all these chapters. No usual rebirth novel staleness, no QT's usual repetitiveness.

The author doesn't make empty claims. MC was a well-accomplished writer in past life -> his NEW novels can actually win awards IRL. Author satisfied my craving for good story-in-story while not breaking immersion with bloated details. While ML is a good judge of character and a hard worker. Curt, decisive, he counters fire with soil, soldiers with arrows. This kind of character behaviour supports that ML is a young but accomplished executive operating in high society. Author explained that MC is not a very vengeful person -> Zen-Uncle MC is never actively malicious.

This is a Gay-is-Normal world, meaning: the novel has no 'everyone is gay starting today' in a Big Influential Families novel, 'why is the villain also male and bottoms' etc. We skip Prejudice and get straight to Romance. MC's stories also doesn't have to worry about having gay theme out of nowhere. I ONLY WISH MORE DANMEIS ARE WRITTEN WITH THIS SETTING!!!!1

MC and ML is clearly meant to be together. If last life MC chose to marry ML, they will still fall in love because their cores match. They are passionate about their work and understand their version of 'best' is not always other people's best. It's really gratifying seeing how MC's reborn uncle persona dotes on ML and in turn making ML pamper MC more, but also interesting to imagine how they would still fall in love in last life similar to this life!

ML holds high standards for friends and partners, it's hard to even be in his good grace. He probably felt repulsion to people because he has seen many dirty tricks? At first meeting, he doesn't fall in love immediately, cleanliness is not just Gone, Poof, Bye Bye. He only had good impression and attraction to MC, coupled with family pressure to marry before he's 26, he decided he could marry this beautiful person. Then after discovering how good MC is, he falls deeper. AND YET, this is his first love, so even this Living-Hades is rightly silly and dumb in some aspects.

I said he's a good judge of person, not that he has high EQ ok! ML can understand others' nature by instinct but he is extremely clueless about emotions. He has this (CUTE) fixation on getting explicit 'go ahead' before pouncing.

Secondary characters' love journey is interesting and seamlessly tied to main story, with no disproportionate focus on them.

[collapse]
Hmmm questionable points would be... I think author doesn't know much about medicines and illness. ML's mysophobia/cleanliness? is not as well developed. A minor character has this surgery but their recovery time is a bit short for that procedure. Another time, someone is drugged, they say it's a non-harmful medicine, and then it reacts like poison, ??!??? I'll let it slide since it's a medicinally advanced world/another world entirely.

Yea, these counterattack novels are predictable, but the journey to last chapter is what matters to me. Thank you translator for delivering us this baobei ? (not complaint <:D I don't really like reading on wattpad, login to read, tl note bulky, so I read the raw directly.) I wrote this review for hours, feel my love for this novel lol <<less

Hello ~

Translator-san here! There's been mixed reviews about this book, but it's really just a light hearted read. The author has been slowly building up the setting and describing (mostly) everything in detail. The characters may seem a like 2D at first, and some still are щ (ಠ益ಠщ). The loopholes slowly fill out as you keep on reading! It's got some jealousy, face slapping and fluff. MC and ML have cute interactions later on, and but they don't go overboard with the Xue Family (they kind of ruin themselves).

So fluffy... more>> (๑ˊ͈ ॢꇴ ˋ͈) 〜♡॰ॱ <<less

Unsatisfactory. To those who read the whole thing probably will agree with me at few points. Too long, unnecessary characters and storyline throughout the novel, weird pacing (picking up storyline, putting it for a while and forgetting it, then getting back to it), using overused tropes with basically no new ideas, story has load of loopholes. Characters are pretty flat emotionally, especially villains. RATE: 2, 75/5.

Author themselve admitted to loopholes, but I don't understand why not make the story better, if you know.

The problem of pacing: MC is reborn and... more>> wants to avenge himself slowly, he gets together with ML and they create a financial trap for MC's dad. It's one of the main storylines. But characters (MC's "family") almost always acts really dumb and one-dimensional. If there was more depth to it I could understand, but most of hate is just there and doesn't change. As if serving as base for MC implementing his plan. Second main storyline is revolved around ML's "childhood friend" (not really) - Xu Lan, who secretely was in love with ML but never confessed and later was directing all negative on MC's head. It's a potentially good storyline with seemingly harmless but potentially dangerous species that slowly got mad, but author couldn't help but fail it (the dumbest part of Xu Lan story was when he directed other person who never questioned him and acted like a cannon fodder, I talk about Qu Fei). The problem of pacing of the story is basically picking up the storyline/character, following it for a while, stopping and leaving it, then after a while picking it up again. The thing is MANY things written in-between could have been shortened or cut out completely. There's too much of additional stuff that doesn't really help the story or play huge role (like the character of Yun Hao and him being together with Xu Chi, they are quite bleak imo, but occupied a load of text, or the sudden insert of holographic game.. like lol why? etc.). Not to mention those inserts of additional bad characters etc. are so cliche and predictable that it bores you to death. THIS made the novel TOO LONG for what it presented and too predictable to care.

The problem of characters: FLAT. Many are quite flat, especially villains. MC acts throughout the storyline with the same attitude and it's quite boring. Sure thing he suffered, but he also started to think how the things from the past faded, it doesn't mean he shouldn't be upset (more like he can't start to get upset, ML handles everything very fast to be upset for too long). His mood doesn't fluctuate (is this all love filter), I honestly wanted him to have a richer palette of feelings. ML although he is super sweet to MC and is a cinnamon roll, but suffers from the same one-direction behavior. Same happens to side-characters, there's a lot and few even get together. I can justify one pair who served as a plot connection for Xu Lan, but the rest is just inserts that have no substantial depth.

The problem of villains: FLAT as everyone else. Not to mention THERE ARE TOO MANY. And they all act the same and have same behavior pattern.. like that's bad. Just pay attetion to the list: Xie Lin, step-sister who hates the MC all the time; Xu Lan, hates MC for "stealing" ML; young master Sheng, just hates them both, because ML is the other perfect child and he's a waste; MC's stepmother; Qu Fei, ML's dumbest suitor; MC's classmates and just all the jealous bunch; actor who didn't get the role etc. ISN'T THAT TOO MUCH? There's just so many of them and they all follow the same dumb logic. I can understand to use it once, but not all the time.

Relationship: the only good thing, thus it's more than 1 star. They both are really loving and caring about each other. And the way they trust and always remind each other about it was heart-warming. But the rest of it... (-___-) <<less

This is a cliche rebirth-marry the rich-revenge-face slapping love rival in my opinion. I like this type of face slapping story, usually.

But I feel like the story is dragging too long. Xu Lan is too emotional. Xu Lin is too jealous. Everybody wants to hurt MC, or wants something from him, or wants to be with him. MC & ML both too perfect, MC too pretty, ML too rich, etc etc... just so cliche. So dramatic. And, mysophobia (? Sorry if I spelled wrong) not that easy to cure okay.

Ai,... more>> what can I say? ML is there along the way to support whatever MC wants to do. It's so... boring. Cliche tropes that make me tired.

Still, thanks for translator great effort!♡ <<less

Recommend to people who love an easy read, big thigh ml

TBVH It might be that I read too much rebirth story that I feel like it kind of dull to me. Some part of story that could be shorten, extended. While some part that should be extended shorten. The author actually know she's lacking so she actually comes out and admit that she's lacking (I really can' t hate the story because of this point)

I think the author lost a focus when writing a little so she sometime focus... more>> on unnecessay plot point. But her writing has some quality that I can hold on to complete the story.

Spoiler

Mumu and Qi Yan fit so well and settle so fast not really the drama from the couple but the family dog blood from mumu side which is easily fixed, I think author want to only serve dog food but the dog food still feel lagging.

I skim so many dull part I don't know why auther want to write about holographic game that bring nothing to the story but she did write it in many long chapters.

I like the part where author bring Qi Yan to the world that mumu already dead. It's so emotional that I wish she explain about what happen in that world a bit longer.

The side character are nice but sometime it feels too much sometime it feels too less.

Cannon fodder are just cannon fodder. They are only there to serve the trouble which I don't understand why they go so far to cause trouble just because they are jealous/envy of Mumu's life.

I could not resist not making a review even though I haven't finished reading this yet.

The ML is so sweeeeet and adorable. Everytime I read his confessions and talks with the MC, my smile just couldn't stop.

It is so fluffy and sweet for me.

There are a lot of face slapping. But my focua is not here.

I liked this novel because of the ML. Worth damaging my brain with mtl.

Light read, just an okay novel. Don't over analyze or use your logic since it has a lot of loopholes.

But really, I don't get the reason why the author's timeline is in year 2020. If the plot was at least in the 20th century, it may be understandable how the Xue family can act unscrupulous before and after the MC's rebirth.

Anyway, the plot is just so-so, the characters were not developed well and the writing style was a bit bland. But there's fluff. If you ignore the loopholes, you might... more>> just enjoy the fluff but not the whole story. <<less

I just want to say what is the biggest difference I observed between the ML of this and other works. Usually MLs stay silent n not tell MC anything specially when they have to deal with their suiters. But I like how ML didn’t hesitate for even a second to tell everything to MC which make it looks like he genuinely treats and saw MC and himself equal in every term and not like a soft... more>> flower who doesn’t need to know anything. <<less

Honestly, it's not that bad. The MC and ML got together early in the novel and the rest is basically them going against or resisting the villains. The main couple also seem to trust and love each other, which results in minimal misuderstanding. Also, the villains seem to be able to be resolved smoothly by the couple, quite OP in my opinion.

However, there are a lot of points that I'm agreeing with other reviewers with bad reviews. The story got somewhat boring the more the novel delve into, maybe the... more>> author decided that some fluff lovey dovey should be inserted there after some conflicts, but to me they are too long and unnecessary. In addition, there are some plot holes as well, including the ML's mysophobia and the things about rebirth/dreaming. BTW, this novel has a setting that the science is advanced enough that 2 men can have biological kids without then getting pregnant, so there is no mpreg here, as you might have been misled to think there is due to ghe hints at the beginning of the novel (this fact was only revealed at the end and the extras, which I think is also one of the flaw in the writing as the world building was not clearly described). also

Spoiler

at the end of the story, suddenly one of the villains, Sheng Xiaowu, suddenly experienced rebirth???? what exactly is the point here?? the conflict with him is basically over but suddenly he got rebirthed to this point of time from sometime in the future to warn his brother to not go against the ML fam??? this plot was not expanded by the author, and honestly, it is quite unnecessary. Maybe this point was just for author to convey that the Sheng family did not end well either in the other futuristic timeline (?), but still unnecessary.

In addition, it was still unexplained how Xu Lan, the ML suitor, found the shady people??? like, How did he suddenly had the contact of this "brother biao" (I MTLed this novel, it might be wrong" and even had the money to pay him? was it not said that the Xu family froze his money??

[collapse]

The villains are also quite flat and their means are also repetitive, with some illogical plans. I got reallllyyy frustrated with some villains tho; the most idiotic ones are definitely Xue Lin and Qu Fei, in my opinion. I can't help but want to slap them N times and make them see the world, it's quite unbelievable that people like them can exist. There are also many villains/cannon fodders, but their motifs are basically: want the ML love or money or power/ jealous of MC, that's it.

But I have to say, the villains don't exactly contradict common sense, as the other reviewer said. They are still pretty flat, having a lot of delusions and greedy but don't have the brain capacity to support that greed, but at the end, they are revealed to basically got karma bite their ass, with or without MC/ ML retaliating against them. By the end, some basically got the chance to turn over new leaves (the MC/ML no longer pursues them for retaliation after they gor their ass in trouble) after their "punishments", some take it, others don't.

Spoiler

the evil stepmother Yao Yue, for example, have to care for her twins that then have mental problems/paralysis. Although she did come troubling MC at the start of this "punishment", she quickly become exhausted and basically have no more mind to trouble MC and concentrate on her children recovery.

The father, Xue Li, however, remains the greedy person that he is; not only was he still had the cheek to look for MC/ Yao Yue (even after he was revealed to have an illegitimate child), and in the end got into illegal wild animal leather business and ended up scammed

Another things-that-don't-make-sense here, is how Xue Lin suddenly got "better" from the mental issues... because she was stimulated twice????? once stimulated = mental issues; twice stimulated = mental issues start to get better??? I'm?????

[collapse]

Anyway, it's not exactly bad. It just seem to me that the author tries to make the character (of a common trope, i.e. domineering CEO, greedy family who squeezes MC dry, jealous people of entertainment industry, etc.) more 3D, but failed in doing so, which results in character that is somewhat make sense, but somehow still flat. The pacing also can make people feel bored, especially with the "fluff", somehow they just seem to be purposely elongated. Although the author has also stated that they, at that moment, still couldn't produce the make-sense-conflict, the plot holes and lack of explanation still make the reading experience lower. I won't complain about the side characters romance though, as I am usually more interested in the side charas compared to the main ones.

Spoiler

Honestly, I am more interested in Jonathan x Jian Hongshen compared to Xu Chi x Yun Hao and Qi Yan x Shu Zimu, in that order. They just seem more interesting to me.

An OK read so far - the romance is cute with ML really pampering and spoiling the MC, and helping MC take revenge against his 'family'. But the villains are horribly one-dimensional delusional idiots - they get something stuck in their minds and are then full speed ahead to their destruction despite people around them trying to stop them... Too much social n/w interference for someone who's not an actor/singer/model etc - just because MC looks good, people/netizens think its their right to comment on anything and everything related to... more>> MC - often used as a device to show how OP ML is! <<less

I simply lost the will to go on. From the beginning all the characters had a 2d feel to them, even the protagonist. The ML had mysophobia on and off or whenever the author remembered. This is definitely not a stunner, if you want a 100% predictable novel this is it.

Honestly, I enjoyed this read. The main couple and secondary couples had many adorable moments that I liked. However, the constant repetition of defaming the MC, being disliked in some way, and ML coming to the rescue did not contribute positively.

Additionally, there were many different plot points, but they weren't very well-developed. The author would hook you with one, and then another would emerge, and while it adds suspense, it wasn't well-structured.

Overall, if you can overlook the aforementioned issues and a few other details, and you're looking for a romantic... more>> read to entertain yourself with a charming main couple and plenty of face slapping, go ahead and go ahead and give it a try. <<less

The novel is okay I guess, it's good to pass time.

I like the good characters, especially the couples and the family. I also liked how the romance between the main characters progressed. There's no misunderstanding, no delay, it's straightforward.

Con for me is the antagonists, they're not that well-written. Each of them are the exact copy paste of each other, especially how they tried to ruin the main characters' relationships. Their reason of doing that is just incomprehensible, the author should have just wrote them as crazy, then I would have... more>> probably understand. <<less

About what you can expect from this type of plot.

Cute MC was wronged, gets married to a cold-but-secretly-loving man, gets revenge on family and earns a lot of money. Pretty par for the course. So of course with this kind of plot we cant really expect much quality wise.. But I was atleast hoping for something.

The contents of the story are really, really weird. I mean carrying around a 2 month old kitten in your hand all day? While going shopping and to the cinemas to boot? I was half... more>> expecting the kitten to disappear or turn into a magical flying creature in the midst of it all.

Its easy to ignore immature writing styles and 2 dimensional characters but sometimes things are written in that you just cant pretend make sense.

———————————————

Ignoring those things - MC is lame, ML is lame, scum family is lame, everyone is lame.

MC has no personality other
Spoiler

than hating his family and being a pretty person. All of his interactions with other characters are prefaced, or interspersed, with them being in awe of his tender face, and his big round eyes, and his red lips and youthful, but graceful energy. It is then filled with MC either talking or thinking about how much he hates his family, or how he will bankrupt them, or how s*upid and petty character X is.

[collapse]

It. Is. Exhausting.

There is no space to give him any personality when all of his traits are filled with adjectives for beauty. Neither is there any room for him to have actions that dont resolve around his hate for his family. Because that is all the author planned for him.

ML is only unique in that he has
Spoiler

mysophobia. And even that is half ocd (not even mysophobia!) and its suddenly cured because its MC touching things first. We know ML has suffered from this from as young as 5, from repainting his room completely white to make it clean (thats contamination OCD author! Not mysophobia!), there is no way for something that runs so deep to be cured just because a pretty boy touched it first

[collapse]
.

On that note, our ML is actually the only reason I read this, I usually dont touch these plots with a 10 ft pole, The love at first sight tag got me to consider it, I was hoping for something that would have more than "and then they both learned to love each others hearts (while causing the deaths of family) <3". But it turned out to just be ML liking MCs face.

MCs family is about as s*upid as a villainous family could possibly be without literally making them toddlers.
Spoiler

All of the "tension" feels like a rebranded lecture the author has gotten. Not even worth talking about tbh, just remember how you thought of your parents when they denied you something (when u were like 10) and you'll understand the general personalities of the family members.

[collapse]

———————————————

TLDR; weird plot choices, shallow characters, mediocre writing. I wasted my time on this and ill never get it back lol <<less

A very boring and meaningless novel, the author really pulled villains out of his sleeve just to lengthen the story, some didn't even get to know the MC but they hated him more than their worst enemy, the explanation? none!!! literal! the author literally wrote that "he did not know why, if they had never met, there were no conflicts or competition, nor did they work in the same environment but still they hated him and wanted to see him fall, the uglier the better" the more ridiculous impossible! !... more>> Please author put more effort next time, even if you want to make the villains hateful at least you should think of an excuse for that, and just one or two well-crafted villains are enough, by the time you get to chapter 100 there were already 7 or 8 and each one for a more s*upid reason than the last... <<less
