“Take me in, I’ll do anything you want me to!”

In her previous life, Lu Man is sent to prison after being framed by her step-sister and an a**hole. After being released from prison, the only thing that greets her is her mother’s tombstone. Seeing the as*hole and bit*h getting happily along together like one big family with her birth father and step-mother, she sets out to die together with the as*hole and her step-sister in fiery flames.

The moment she opens her eyes again, she finds herself back on the very day she was framed. Resolutely jumping out the window and climbing next door, she seeks refuge from the man occupying the room there. But who would have guessed that the man is the brilliant hunk she has always admired from afar in her past life?

She vows to rub her eyes clean and be more discerning of people. She wants to make everyone who owed her in the past to pay her back!

“Young Master Han, can you let me hug your other arm too?”
“Actually, I have one more, do you want it?”
“…”

This reads like it was written by a 15 year old. All the characters are brain dead. They can hardly remember what happened the previous chapter. A few examples are in the spoilers below. The MC here is the MC only because everyone around her is super duper ultra mega levels of s*upid. Therefore, MC (who has half a brain at most) is amazing in comparison to them.

Other than that, it's a very typical rebirth story with every cliche possible. Read it if you have nothing left to do in... more>> life. It's marginally better than watching grass grow.

Spoiler

MC's slag dad sees and hears ML supporting MC and pampering her in one chapter. 5 chapters later, slag dad is at ML's company trying to get MC fired. Slag dad, evil step mom and evil half sister try to get MC to work for evil step sis despite multiple cases where MC has humiliated and faceslapped all 3. Reason for this? Because they hate MC I guess? I'm not sure even the author knows.

I'm 544 chapters in and so far Mr. Han is a 10/10 boyfriend, with not even a hint of a little 3. No close female friends, cousins, etc who create conflict, only a few with some delusions which are quickly and ruthlessly sorted out. The family (who matter) on both sides are supportive.

So far I'm enjoying the constant sweetness and their evergrowing relationship without any dogblooded annoying misunderstandings. I hope it stays like this because the FL's trust and heart probably won't be able to take it if he ever... more>> fails to live up to this trust.

She treats him as a man instead of a god, and he treats her like a treasure. The only annoying bit is her father really is unreasonable, a truly neurotic man. It's similar to "Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife" if you need a reference. Except she's less helpless compared to that MC. Our girl has some PR fangs haha.

Don't take it too seriously and you won't be disappointed. <<less

I'm quite conflicted about this novel. The first 100-150 chapters were decent but as the story progresses, it's just the repetition of the previous plot in another coat.

It has its good points as well as bad points. So here it goes:

Thinks I liked:

  • the story line sweet, there is no serious third wheel who constantly anoys the heck out of the reader
  • the interaction between MCs is more or less passable, sure, there are some parts which are too exaggerated but OK, what can we expect from a C novel :)
  • the important family members are open-minded and very down to earth. I especially loved the grandma :)
Thinks I did not like:

  • the character development: the female lead is so proud of herself for being independent in solving her own problems (maybe at the start it is true) but when something happens later on, she don't hesitate to use her BF's status. Another thing, this is supposed to be a story about the girl who got played and exploited in her previous life but as soon as she reincarnated, she turned into some super cunning being who constantly gets the upper hand out of nowhere. If she is so unbeatable why did she die previously?!
  • the notion of the female lead being some super genius: She is described as someone for whom it's enough to touch an industry and she will be instantly be the best of the best. Yes, there are some multitalented people out there but this novel (honestly, almost every C novel) makes it sound as if hard work and years of experience is just for losers. It's so disappointing.
  • The male lease is quite OK at the start. Once again, as the story progresses I gained the feeling that his only role was to worship the FL and clean up after her. : (
  • The antagonist: Is there even some people who have more wit as a 3 year old child? People might think the being intelligent is something extinct in this world. Btw, being against the FL is not a crime, expecially not punishable with ruining their lives IMAO. She is not money, why should everyone love her?!
So if you like some lightweight sweet stories, go on just don't expect it to be better as the story progresses.

I could said that the first 100 chapters was good but later, there were plot repetition.

Basically, the FML got second chance to turn over her previous life's calamity. She met ML and falling in love. The ML was so powerful and became her strongest backing so she has confident to do whatever she liked and able to retaliate or destroyed whoever against her.

When the plot was getting repetitive which was she kept encounter some people who hated her with unclear reasons. And most of the villains were women (obviously). Then... more>> she had reasons to destroy them with the help of powerful ML.

I enjoyed the first 100 chapters, that's why I gave 2 stars. After a few hundreds of chapters, it's getting uninteresting.

I think the storyline somehow similar to Trial Marriage Husband (another novel in webnovel), but Trial Marriage Husband is a lot better than this novel. <<less

At first I felt that this story is interesting so I looked up the raw. I am at chapter 406 now and starting to feel that the author doesn't have any idea of a plot, how is the ending and what is the story is all about. She/he just plodded on and let the wind carry the story to wherever it fancies.

Every kisses had been documented so far. That will be told in at least 2 chapters before the story could moved on.

I agree with the previous reviewer, this story... more>> has nothing new. Maybe the in-laws are a bit different than other novels because they accepted her without much objections. There are also no misunderstanding between MC and ML so far. They knew they fell for each other almost at the beginning of this story.

3000++ chapters and still on going, I think for those who decided to stay until the end, you are actually going to read a day to day journal of Lu Man's life. Good luck!!! <<less

9/10 ~> ch 1236 {still ongoing} V

I really like how the story progresses, especially about the chemistry between ML and FL. The two of them are trying to get out of their comfort zone and their development is evident in this novel.

The storyline is also interesting, not always fixated on FL's revenge in her past life, but there are still people who are shameless or against FL, which is natural and that's when FL shows her strength to solve her problems [slapping shameless people’s face] accompanied by ML's support. FL... more>> is an independent woman at the beginning of the story and I’m very happy with how ML changed FL's view of compassion and love, which changed FL's attitude to be more confident. ML also didn’t force FL to be his partner with violence, ML showed his care, affection, and love for FL. For ML, FL is his whole world and they love each other on a good note. No violence, rope, or anything that can hurt FL (MC).

In essence, if you like a novel where ML respects FL's opinion, the storyline is fun and the development of the MC (FL) is visible (from below slowly above) with reasonable abilities and with ML support, I recommend reading this novel :) <<less

The male lead's cousin, a very cold CEO, was decided to participate in a variety show. That's one of my pet peeves in the Chinese stories I read. I hate it when very successful people end up participating in Showbiz. They're already established in their fields what the heck. Not everyone should be showcased in tv shows!

[collapse]

The love between the FL and the ML is very strong. No one can get in their way. Additionally, they have very supportive family members and they have an overpowered set of friends. Basically, everyone who gets on the positive side of these leads will win at life.

I agree with the other review I've read that the reason why the leads are so OP is because the people clashing against them are too s*upid. They go out of their way to make their lives miserable. It's like they will not be content until they lose all hope in their career. It gets tiring to read a plot driven by these dumb cannon fodders. <<less

The main arena of this novel is showbiz. You can read this novel for time pass.

Pros:

  • The relationship between the ML and FL is good. It involves trust, respect and mutual understanding.
  • Supporting characters like FL's mother, ML's family are also positive with no extra shenanigans
  • The status of the novel in COO is completed. So as long as the translators doesnt drop it, we can happily read it with no fear of the novel being put on hold.
Cons:

  • When it comes to face slapping part, the author will completely remind you that the FL was once in public relations. In the face slapping chapters, 80% of the content will be the netizen's comments. It can get on your nerves.
  • Most of the problems faced by the FL is involved with media. It shows basically how Lu Man solves the problems with her PR skills. It can get boring in the long run.

I think the novel is quite well written, but for me there are too many couples (who had looots of chapters) and too many antagonists. Everyone seems to be seeking for trouble with MC or one of the other couples. This novel could have been 1000-2000 chapters shorter I think without the other couples.

I prefer reading about one couple or if there are more couples there should not be too many chapters about them. I would have preferred it if the writer had written new novels about the side couples.... more>> Because of that I lowered the number of stars given.

Plot of the main couple

I have re-read it many times, and at first there were some scene that were a little bit illogical. But then with more though it didn't seem like that.

Spoiler

You know when everyone started watching all the movies in the cinema except Attack Force. At first it was like is that even possible, would people do that. Then it apperead the incident with Xiao Zhan and the people started boycotting him. Although the situation is different, it's similar. So I thought it wasn't that illogical.

Above reviews are accurate. Initially the independence of the MC was a draw. ML starts exerting more face slapping influence around the 400th chapter of so. I like the affection they show to one another. There's no in-law dramatics so that is refreshing. The little brother is adorable and mirrors the grandma template. I like that the MC has actual friends even if we don't get much detail about them. It'll be better if there were more characters neutral towards her to show her character of "if you don't bother... more>> me, I won't bother you". <<less

I love how mushy and fluffy this novel is. I see some people are annoyed that kissing scenes can take more than one chapter, but I think it's great. Give it a chance, don't go into it thinking it's going to be a totally serious novel, 'cause there is a ton of face slapping and mushy/fluffy scenes.

I have pure, unadulterated hatred for this book. How can a book be so brain-dead and high blood pressure inducing.

Block the f*cking number, b*tch. Block it. What the f*ck is "filial piety"? I really hope it isn't so intense in China irl because the youths mental health will be in the gutter if it is.

Disown your father and his wife. That ain't rocket science. Take a f*cking newspaper ad or some sh*t and announce to the world. Change your darn surname to your mother's.

The first meeting between Lu Man and... more>> Han Zhouli was so forward and good. She acted like someone who enjoys s*x and physical intimacy and he acted like a carefree man. Those set of people disappeared and we are back to a woman who is scared and doesn't even enjoy kissing. Dear Chinese authors, women enjoy s*x too.

How do you constantly allow someone to have your handle? F*cking move from the hospital and house you are in to a new one! Employ bodyguards. Shit, Lu Man is too s*upid to live. I got till Chapter 420 and I'm also questioning my intelligence because I should have dropped this before Chapter 100.

TLDR; Do not bother reading except the doctors diagnosed you with low blood pressure and you need to raise it higher. This works better than drugs, I promise. <<less

All the previous reviews are pretty accurate. I gave it a chance past the first hundred or so chapters and I could enjoy it but it was still a bit corny at times. Also if you're the type of reader who chooses novels based on character dynamics, then you'll probably get pissed off around 1500.... more>>
Spoiler

I chose this novel specifically to read about Lu Man and Han Zhouli. All of sudden I'm reading about his older cousin and a make up artist. Just ruined all the vibes. I don't know I guess I'd just rather read about them having a family and being domestic than reading about the cousins. At this point just right another book because why are you dragging it to 3000+ chapters just for the og FL and ML to become side characters.

This is pure fluff and sweetness with a hint of face slapping. There isn't any major depth in this story, treat it like you are eating potato chips, no nutritional value but it makes you feel good and it's satisfying to read.

... more>>
Spoiler

Personally, the most meaningful interaction happens between the FL and ML when they are first starting out their relationship. FL is clearly traumatized and isn't looking to be in a relationship again but, they have a nice heart-to-heart where he ASKS her to give him a chance he isn't like her ex. It was sweet because he did say I don't know why I like you but I do and I think we should explore this relationship, don't let sh*t men stop you from being happy, and the FL mother also gives her a heart-to-heart. So I thought that was really refreshing because you don't really see that too often.

[collapse]

Unlike many other entertainment novels where the antagonist females are usually date r*ped and have their s*x videos and photos leaked, its not like that at all, so that's really refreshing.

one of the major cons is the age gap, I think she is 22 and he is 30 when they meet, so it isn't TOO bad but he always describes her as looking much younger than her age, or she "tender" so that can be just a little weird <<less

This is my favorite Dawnesque's novel from "Seven Gentleman" series so far. Of course this novel still followed the generic pattern of its predecessors, such as:

  • A commoner but independent MC and super handsome and rich ML.
  • A scum ex boyfriend who cheated MC with other woman but later regretted it.
  • A persistent love rival who still threw herself to ML even though ML was already taken.
  • A warm family who always supported MC and ML unconditionally.
Although the plot was quite similar with the other novels in the same universe, I still enjoy it... more>> so much because I love face slapping moment.

Lu Man was a bit OP compared to other MC like Song Yu, Ruan Dachen, and Lin Chu. She was a powerful PR officer and also a talented actress. Speaking of PR officer, it somehow reminded me of Lin Chu's job from "The President is Being Shameless Again" novel but Lin Chu didn't stand out so much with her job and rarely made an achievement. On the other hand, I'm disappointed because Lu Man's talent as actress was barely explored by the author until the end of the story. I think it's better to make Lu man stand out as an actress more and left the PR thing for Lin Chu.

I'm surprised that in this novel, Chu Zhaoyang, Nan Jicheng, and Mo Jinsheng were married already because in "The President is Being Shameless Again", they were still single. I don't know, maybe I missed their story in the other novel. Also, I'm happy to meet Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai again. I kinda miss them after reading "The President is Being Shameless Again". It's good that they finally have their own story and happy ending. <<less

This is a very typical rebirth story in which the main character goes back several years and gets to do things differently. It hits just about every Chinese novel cliche there is, but I still find it satisfying to watch the comical bad guys get their comeupance over and over again. If you love face-slapping stories, this story may be for you. As a bonus, I like to imagine the FL's father and step-mother as Donald and Melania Trump. It feels more realistic when you remember there are really people... more>> out there like that. <<less
