Description

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

Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.

Eighteen years ago, two children were born at the same time, but due to the negligence of the medical staff their name tags were switched. Tao Mu, who was supposed to be born in a wealthy family, was sent to an orphanage instead.

Eighteen years later, the mistake was discovered. Tao Mu originally thought everything could go back on track. However, his parents and siblings who were supposed to be the closest family disliked him deeply, lovers and friends also turned their backs on him.

Receiving such a shock, Tao Mu completely revealed his dark side, becoming a vicious cannon fodder that everyone hated. In the end he found himself utterly isolated and committed su*cide by jumping off a building.

After being reborn, Tao Mu was surprised to find that he actually lived in a book. The male protagonist in the book was the Silly White Sweet** who was the other baby that he had mistakenly switched identities with. As for him, he was just the vicious cannon fodder encountered by the Silly White Sweet in his sweet and pampered life.

Tao Mu: f*ck this plot, and f*ck this stereotypical routine. I won’t be playing along in this life!

In other words, this is a dog blood story of a highly provoked cannon fodder no longer mistreating himself to please anyone after being reborn. Instead he will be relying on himself to build an entertainment empire that will catapult him to the top.

** person who is s*upid but in a sweet way

I read it quite a while back. MTL'ed half the novel after being spoiled by irontreeblooms translating skills so it was hard. But nevertheless I got the point of the entire story, I feel like the MC after all the struggles, sacrifices and the neglect that he has faced, not falling into a depressive worrywart after his rebirth was already plenty great. Our MC was vicious, vengeful, yet loving to his family. I loved the fact that MC and ML got together because they were legit perfect. And omg did... more>> I say I love ML's family? They were so cute, especially ML's father and his aunt. Anyway I lowkey teared up when they started showing the stuff on how Shen Yu got his lucky protagonist halo and how our MC had died in his previous lifetime he didn't know and couldn't get together with ML, it was so sad, they clearly loved each other!

Anyway the story is good, with good elements, I don't remember how much lovey-dovey moments they have but the story's jam packed with family moments. It's a nice story with a self made OP MC (though after falling in love it was almost as if his edge has been rubbed smooth). <<less

Personal Enjoyment: 4.25/5

I say, like the first 75% of this story was all to my taste! Poor to rich, so much business management, such a hardworking and sympathetic protagonist, rebirth with lots of dog blood, face slapping and yet, also a lot of heartwarming feelings. All good. But then, I don't know why, the author expanded on the whole rebirth/reincarnation cycle situation and it felt too off and kind of broke my immersion. I wish they had just stuck to a simpler end because it was too messy. I... more>> also thought it was unnecessary and didn't add much to the plot. It doesn't help that the last few TV shows and movies that Tan Mu was involved in felt less special and too similar to each other. After the Flesh and Blood TV series, he made a military TV series and then a military movie and there wasn't any personal oomph by the MC in them. So when all these hooha about breaking the record tv ratings and ooooh, on par with Hollywood blockbusters in revenue, all kinds of rainbow farts that completely worked for me in previous other MC works, did not work for me this time at all. It wasn't believable at all, broke me out of the immersion and also made me impatient to finish the story because it was alrd near the end. I'm not sure if reading these parts in MTL was part of the reason why I didn't believe in the story haha. Anyway, if it were only the parts I liked, this would have been in my favourites!

Writing/Translation: 4/5

The translation I read is from Iron Tree Translations. The translation is quite good. The only issue is that some words have weird spelling mistakes. In the beginning, some words have numbers in the middle, like "w6rld" instead of "world." It's almost like in the process of copying over the translation to the website, it got converted. It's not too common and didn't affect my reading experience. I read the translations up to chapter 249 before I ran out of translated chapters and moved to the MTLnovel website to finish the story. So, it's readable enough to get the gist but it is definitely not as pleasant an experience as the translated version. I would say that if the translated version is a 9.5, the mtl would be 8. There are constant "I" and "you" mistakes, which got a bit confusing in some paragraphs but not too often. Surprisingly, most of the sentence structure is intact. The humour also managed to get through. But some of the whole rebirth explanation and the subsequent characters’ planning, I am not 100% confident I understood everything. So take that into consideration of continuing to MTL haha.

Pacing: 3.9/5

I say it is pretty good up to where I read the translated chapters. But maybe it was the MTL, I got a bit impatient and kinda lost interest by then, so I wanted the story to be finished more quickly.

Plot: 3.9/5

This is quite self-indulgent, as the author said hahaha. But filled with all my favourite tropes. Poor to rich, business management, family and friend with heartwarming feelings, rebirth and faceslapping drama XD The plot isn't as tight as it could have been, like some plot points weren't followed up later on, such as the Zhang family. I wanted to know if they succeeded in not going bad, and about the Zhang girl, why did she wait for that bad neighbour at the toilet? What was her intention exactly? Is it to help the MC? Or help herself somehow? Her motivations weren't explained or hinted at at all. On the business side, I don't know if the MC made any money from them too. I also wanted more follow up from the chef academy too, money wise haha. In a family-building kind of way. For the orphanage as well, did the small business take off? Are they financially stable now? Was a sustainable ecosystem able to be set up? All these things, haha. Otherwise, I love this MC because he is a workaholic, a perfectionist, super smart and very detailed! It definitely helps with the immersion and I love learning new things. I also liked all the financial stuff thrown in, it felt like the author knew about this stuff and slid it in appropriately. The programming stuff too. I am a programmer and am very interested in personal finance, so it was refreshing to see some realism about these two things in the story instead of, they are so smart they can predict the market, picked stocks and made a boatload of money without actually going into any detail whatsoever. Or you know, they just learn all kinds of programming knowledge, developed a program single-handedly in like a week on an old laptop to capture all the market data and are able to make predictions on the market to day trade and make boatloads of money. This is too unbelievable because that is big data and needs maybe a supercomputer to do all the computing, or at least a bunch more servers than just a laptop, etc. But I definitely believed in the Mc’s knowledge and actions, so I was even more immersed which is wonderful. I like most of the acting stiff too because it felt real. Just my issues with the whole China is great, the military is super cool and everyone should love it, ehhh not my thing. I despise war and military stuff because it causes me anxiety and angst. Also, I'm not sure why the author made the MC do so much military-themed entertainment so close together. Just story-wise, it's repetitive.

Romance: 3.7/5

The romance is quite little overall but when it is there, I enjoyed its development. It is rather slow burn because the MC is just so work-focused and has a very clear line between business and anything else that he believes everyone else is that way too. After that, there is also the fact that he is a highly suspicious person and wary of betrayal due to past experiences so the ML has to put in a lot of work haha. Also, it can be surprisingly very sweet XD. After that, well, relating to the whole rebirth expanded explanation and the romance, it felt like the author wanted to make it a thing. It's just that I couldn't quite buy it. Again, maybe it's the MTL’s fault haha.

Setting/Worldbuilding: 4/5

The entertainment industry is fascinating to read about, with how the various production elements work together to create a TV show or film. Investors and actors and stand-ins and props, all kinds of things. I also like the Hong Kong part because I don't really know what their relationship is with each other XD. ALSO, there are a lot of details about the financial world, business stuff and the entertainment industry, so I’m happy.

Characters: 4/5

The MC, Tau Mu is very rootable and made me quite quickly immersed in the story. He's sad, hardworking, full of regrets, has a poisonous tongue and is good at taking revenge. Despite this, he is a huge softy at heart for his people. I love watching all his schemes haha. The ML doesn't appear as much but he is surprisingly sweet and fun the longer they know each other. All the other characters are super distinct, real, and have a lot of depth and vibrancy. It's just that some of them don't get followed up on after their arcs, which they were active in sadly. Well, this story is pretty long, so...

They're so delightfully super annoying, the bad guys. Sometimes it makes the blood boil in a good way because then you look forward to seeing the MC kick them away and stuff lolol. It is enjoyable to read how the MC takes his revenge on hurting his people.

I do have to mention that I did get a bit confused on their motivations and what part they are playing in the story. Like the bad guys at the beginning, because the MC has no power and if fighting won't bring enough benefits, he will just suck it up and smile, the bad guys just keep hanging around as friends. Couldn't make up my mind if the author was trying to make them friendly or what lol.

First off, I have preface this by saying I read the MTL from chapter 235 onward, and frankly, I was too lazy to really translate every word properly the whole way through, so I skimmed through parts of it (especially when I was way too irritated with the villain) --but where the English was just incomprehensible, I read the original raw. That's just in the name of full disclosure. The actual translation is quite fabulous, so kudos and thank you to the translator!

Alrighty, and now to the actual review. I... more>> rarely write these (I'm too longwinded) but I feel this novel deserves one, if only to pull up the ratings a bit.

It starts off like you might expect, a bit like a face-slapping rebirth novel where there's a protagonist halo to avoid and so on. However, it later becomes apparent that the halo is a more sinister than that. At first, I thought it might go down the "external system" route like some other novels I've read, but this novel, when everything is revealed (I'm talking late game, like ch 270+, where the actual truth is revealed--with all due respect reviewers, I don't think some of you got there), actually went a totally different direction that shocked and disgusted me (toward the villain). I really appreciated the freshness of that part of the plot. I love tropes and formulas as much as anyone else but when things surprise me, it's pretty cool ^^

Overall, I think the overall plotline is pretty tightly written when it comes to actual plot (to me, that's what's going on with the whole rebirth situation, actually). The entertainment circle aspect of it can get a bit tiresome at times just because there isn't all that much going on with the dramas/movies that are being shot. The author really doesn't describe the projects themselves all that much, but focuses instead on the external issues, like relationships between people on set. And the romantic plotline is very sweet when it appears but it's also clearly not the focus of the story (the ML doesn't even appear all that much 1st half of the novel ;-;), at least not until closer to the end, but even then, it's still not really the focus. Still, I think the author has a lot of good, interesting ideas and thoughts, and I think it's a pretty well-written and smart novel.

My main detractions stem from feeling like there were a few leftover strings to tie up (especially with some of the characters that appear in the beginning) and some parts that probably could have been cut or otherwise didn't add much to the overall story (e.g., characters and plotlines that feel like they've been thrown away halfway into the story/don't appear again until the very end). In other words, I agree that it could've been streamlined for sure. Because of that, it felt like the author had too many ideas and couldn't quite settle on one or two.

It's not really a novel I'd recommend to someone looking for a purely sweet, fluffy love story (although the couple is sweet), nor someone looking for an entertainment circle type read (he's an actor but I wouldn't say the focus is on that), nor someone looking for a pure face-slapping novel (because there ends up being so many people involved...I think it was hard for the author to deliver a satisfying "revenge" to everyone and some characters were a bit half/half that made it hard for me to completely hate them but they weren't good either... and I'm rambling). But it's definitely worth a try for everyone else, especially if you're looking for reads with a new twist.

As a whole, I enjoyed it quite a bit and found it a relatively refreshing read!

4.5/5 but I'll round up to pull ratings. <<less

For me this novel is okay. I wouldnt say that it is good but it is not that bad either.

They really drag this sh*t out. I think that the plot should be completed with only 150 or 180max chapters but they drag the plot till 300 plus chapters. I skip most of the chapters because it had many unneccesary scenes which really irritates me.

I wouldve given this only 3 stars but because of the translation and the cute relationship between the MC and ML I gave this 4. Im gonna... more>> persist and read what will happen next. I have come this far I cant back down. Lord have mercy

Maybe I will edit my review later after I complete the novel and I will wait for the translator to complete I dont want to mlt this boring novel because I dont want to torture my brain. <<less

I've just started but I'm not really feeling it. I find his childhood friends loyal but annoying. MC is too op. No one except the Shen family looks a little antagonistic. Everyone around the MC I find either annoying or am completely indifferent to.

so far its ok, but the author rly has an obsession with presenting the MC as some kind of walking s*x symbol and has the habit of mentioning the same information all the time and it gets very repetitive (is it for word count? But every single chapter we get the same info at some point, we get it author, no need to mention it a bizillion times).

It a amazingly good story as I expected 🙂 after reading the Description I thought to myself that I must definitely read it, so I did and it turned out to be very good, not disappointing in the slightest I liked to interaction between the MC&ML it was very sweet, and what I liked to most it that it didn't focus heavily on romance which is a good thing. The face Slapping was satisfying. The MC also was Op and did relay on himself instead of making the ML his... more>> golden thigh. <<less

Headache!

There no f*cking viciousness in the ret*rded character.

No revenge plot, just making circles around the plot and increasing character that are flouting over his talent, looks and future aspects.

There no antagonist in this f*cking revenge story 😂

I don't know what the f*ck MC (real one Sheng Yu) wants to do? There's no details about his character and chapter dedicated to him.

I would have understood stood if this story lead to a revenge plot but its not going anywhere near that.

***Just try it, this story may surprise you

To tell the truth, this story is really good. The pacing maybe a bit slow but if you can pass through quarter-first (about c70) I think it enjoyable. The character development and plot is very good, especially the later part is quite excited!!! I really love the MC and ML especially the MC he deserve the best.

[c31]

The plot is good but the pacing is really slow. There are many side character and many useless information that make me annoy the most so I... more>> skim some paragraph. But I still want to know what will happen so I'll continue reading.

There's also funny part like the MC Tao Mu is very calm till the director wonder if he have temper so he keep trying to get to the bottom of it several times until MC become impatient, so when angered, rather than biting he just start "discuss" the director mistakes at work. It really funny.

[c72]

Now I already familiar with the pace of this story and I think the plot is quit good (MC is really super OP) and that silly white lotus (Shen Yu) is very very annoying. Every time he appear I have to take a deep breath OH MY f*ckING GOD!!!

[c85]

Spoiler

WOW!!! The father and elder brother of Shen family already know of Shen Yu's halo and know that if they stayed with Shen Yu for a long time, they will have emotional effect. OMG...

The story itself starts and sounds like nothing new. When I first read it I had a feeling I've read it somewhere, but in time other differencies were shown in details. Although there were hooks at the beginning, which author didn't bring later (for example his friends that took part at the beginning, there was some twist about them in previous life, but in reborn life MC almost left them when he picked up his career), but many actions and consequences actually worked really well at other times, which was... more>> nice.

In short the storyline covers a timeline of several years when MC is reborn, tried to stay away from his original family, meets ML, they do business together, MC does good things along the way that help him grow too, he also helps and pays back a double to people who care and love him. He grows his business, he helps his friends, he shoots and produces movies and tv series, he tried to deal or more like avoid the neurosis of Shen Yu and live his own life happily without his biological parents and real family.

Details that I think make this novel differ are probably these:

    • MC takes an usual route in acting and that is he is an action actor. You won't see literary scripts. But what is interesting is that some scripts although not new, but at least detailed unlike many novels where filming is just passed by. MC is shown working really hard.
    • The twist at the end. Although it comes quite late and that's why the overall outline feels a bit unbalanced, but at least it brings some clarity to the rebirth reason and trigger. The obsession and the feelings of MC are nto because of a simple halo.
    • Emotional growth for MC, which is justified and ML's standpoint of unmovable and reliable mountain is also justified due to their life experiences.
    • There are nice elements of action and consequences that help it going. Like small details that happen in the story (e.g. When MC produces the movie, many older people come to theater, since they remember him and his deeds of organizing the fund that helped them, so it brought even more positive publicity).
    • Many characters are in line with their setting, although you might think they're too one-dimensional, but I liked the explanation given to why.
Overall it was a pleasant read, the only thing you really need to get a bit far for it to star get interesting (imo of course), I agree it was a bit long and there are many time the text just repeats the same notion just in different words (don't forget that authors also want to eat, so wordcount). But in general it was nice :)

P.S. I found this novel through the other novel of this author 'Stand-in alliance', which is also good ;) <<less

3/5 stars. I say this because it's showing up 4 stars despite saying that I voted 3 stars and I'm really trying to be generous with the stars here!

If you are like me who doesn't have time to read so have your phone read it for you, sometimes it will become a chore to listen to. For those who has the leisure time to read it, if you skim past the parts where there's annoying useless info, it's a decent read. Of course, if someone has to skim through the... more>> novel it should be bad right? Not necessarily so. The plot is good. I promise the plot is good. It's just hidden underneath the massive amount of useless info dump which is why I gave it a 3/5 stars.

The novel is about the MC's path towards redemption and continue his dream of being an actor. It's as simple as that. With the author's annoying repetitious paragraphs of MC wanting to make up his past mistakes towards the people he loved and his dream of being an actor, I don't know why people expect vengeful face-slapping, because this novel is obviously not that.

MC's golden finger/arm/everything is indeed... quite plentiful, aside from the coding skills which I am extremely skeptical of, his other skills make sense. It leans heavily in the entertainment side so I'm not too annoyed with it. I've read worse novels with bigger golden fingers, and I still managed to read through them with no issues. But honestly, when the coding skills comes up and if you still read further than that only to complain later, I can only say those who read further still are just deeply hidden masochists.

The only thing I found a bit hard to read through was the pro-Chinese patriotism of China vs. Hong Kong bit. (Chinese-speaking users, please don't hurt me.)

And while the villains' behavior and actions are s*upid and so, so, SO infuriating that clenched teeth could break, swords could be drawn, and blood could be spilled, isn't it the reason why we, as readers, read it? So that we can see our MC, who was once stomped to the ground, rise above the insanely s*upid villains and finally find happiness?

Here's my review. 3/5 stars. Good plot. Massive info dump. Dumb villains. Happy Ending. <<less

The storyline is overall okay. At first it was satisfying due to the face slapping and then things got really tedious... and brain dead.... But I thought the ending was nicely wrapped up!

Main things that bothered me were:

    1. Author explaining too much into things that were unrelated to the development like the thoughts of each character everytime some conflict happens. I ended up skipping like 1/5 to 1/4 of the story cause most of the chapter was just giving the scene a detailed backstory; I even thought I missed some important plot cause there was no dialogue! Most of it was praising the MC and I really didnt want to read the same thing over and over again. Even extras of the story got a detailed segment of what their thoughts were and overexplaination of why they did what they did.
    2. The amount of skill sets he has and the author explains it as he earned it all in his last life. Basically in the second life, he earned no new skill, only minimal improvements....
    3. Prior to figuring out why the MC's enemy is always aiming at MC, he kept getting beaten down and at some point it turned into abuse. It was unbearable to read at some point.
      Spoiler

      antagonist was swapped by the sister and was not the real son of their family, once that was exposed, the mom blamed everything on the antagonist for occupying her son's life and position when it was her daughter that played the sickening prank. Like they are so brain dead. What was an infant supposed to do??? Crawl back into their bed cause clearly they knew what was going on

      [collapse]
    4. Majority of the people who don't like the MC have the SAME EXACT THINKING AND BAIN CIRCUITS! I understand that the MC is meant to be the subject of envy and jealousy, but the author could have gave them a personality instead of EVERYONE hating on the MC cause (1) sucessful (2) handsome (3) sharp-tongue (4) have backers (5) jealous that they are close with the antagonist even though he isn't the one to initiate or cling to the antagonist
Things I did like:

    1. The plot was great at the begining and I really appreciated the details and development of the MC.
    2. The reveal of the ML and their relationship had a smooth and really nice development even if it was a little later into the story.
    3. The ending where everything was settled and wrapped up. But you could tell they kinda rushed to wrap up with phrases similar to :finally settled down and ready to spend a lifetime together, smth like that" and it wasnt even the last chapter...
      Spoiler

      it was an engagemeng party bro, like less than 20 chapters until the end

      [collapse]
      haha so ig its a thing I dont like, oops
    4. The relations of the adopted family of the MC was nicely written and it feels cozy :))
    5. The characters discovered the Halo effect on the antagonist, which is very satisfying!
Overall 3/5. Would I read it again? No. Would I recommend? No, unless you have nothing to do and like brain-ded novels to pass time.

Hrmm, I came here expecting a typical rebirth chinese drama so I'm not really that disappointed. I recommend this to people who isn't into plot that much and is just looking forward to genius MC trampling people who wronged them. Basically its jut good for light read, if you're not expecting a solid plot, then give this a try

If there's anything that I'm dissatisfied with, its that author is too wordy-- And it's not the good kind of wordy. There's too many unnecessary informations that fills up a whole single... more>> chapter. Every information has multiple explanation, normally that's fine but these information doesn't really need thorough explanation to be able to understand?? it's like the author is trying too hard, afraid that readers can't understand.

Too many random explanation about this person that person, this work that work etc...

Honestly I was reading everything at first, then began skimming the parts that are somehow irrelevant and doesn't affect the plot (there's a lot, I tell u) Glad I did, I managed to finish the whole novel.

I have no complaint with the romance, I expected everything in it but I absolutely like the little banters, it's funny and entertaining.

oh and ngl, I immediately lost interest after Shen yu's downfall. At first I was a little sympathetic with him, because of the fact that Shen yu was raised to be naive and dumb by the shen family, so all my hate was invested on the shen family and although I find him annoying, I felt like it's understandable considering the pampered life and the deliberate suppression of his EQ and IQ development and since he didn't really do any crime worthy of death, he was simply annoying and tactless throughout the novel. So I felt like he deserves to at least have peace in the ending, maybe have him live somewhere far where he can still live be as dumb as he can.

though, through the end of it, Author decided to make him completely nuts who started thr whole tragedy. I find the whole situation to be clumsily done, just to end with a conclusion that shen yu is completely evil. I prefer if Shen yu is really a genuine naive character with prince syndrome. Then I wanna have at least 5 chapter dedicated to him where he is slowly coming to realize his shortcomings and beginning to understand where he f*cked up, what he did to end up in misery and how dumb he was- I want him to realize and deeply regret rather than see him turn crazy.

The Author is quite patriotic especially with the talks about laws. Though that's a good point where you take revenge legally.

MC (TM) and ML (LXH) are meant to be together! I like the twist of the story, though half way through I already had a feeling about it. MC (TM) was the real (SY) while (SY) is the real (TM) during the first time line, (SY - the current one) is very jealous with the MC in their first life/timeline. He wants to be SY so bad that he used a ritual or something like that and they switched.

The reason for the cycled reincarnation is about their 'obsession' especially the obsession of current SY and MC. MC's obsession is to be with the Shen family, to be recognized by his family even in their first timeline. While the current SY's obsession is to be like the MC. The cycled reincarnation caused some disappearance of certain emotions and left only with obsession. Until the MC breaks his obsession, he was able to find his way back and find his soulmate the ML. The ML and MC love each other but MC died while killing Zhou Yan (he was the boyfriend of MC in every timeline that wants revenge with the Shen family.) Zhou Yan killed MC's elder brother and father for revenge. In first timeline MC's father and brother love him so much, when they died, MC's mother cursed MC along with his sister Shen Yan. Their family is quite complicated.

I was just happy in the last timeline, MC was able to obtain a true family and found his love life.

Shen Yu's brain is quite rotten and filled with water, all he does is cry cry cry. And I also hate it. Quite sissy that it's not appropriate anymore.

There are times, the novel got boring for me But around 250+ the twist was there regarding their rebirth etc. <<less

One of the best showbiz danmei novels that I read. It has a mixture of drama, mystery, scheming, etc. Each character was also fleshed out. Definitely recommended!

Currently reading but pausing for a bit because the chapters are dragging so much.

Romance is really slow and there is hardly any tension which isn’t that fun tbh.

I’ll probably continue later if I feel like it but I’m in the mood for a different genre since this isn’t hitting as well as it was in the beginning.

Reminder for myself:

TM had the Yao grandpa kneel at the graves and the Yao OG posted it to whitewash himself. Waiting for TM to post the unedited version and his cross dressing dance is also probably coming soon

This was a decent read till about chapter 277. However, I couldn't finish it. I became bored. There were a lot of "jumping the shark" moments in this which was exciting with quite a twist on reincarnation and rebirth; but honestly when the happy moments are too blessed and the "just desserts" for the villain are even a bit too cruel for the actions of the good guy. It leads to becoming anti-climactic and boring. Almost like (I have about 2o chapters remaining but everything is over-drawn and too happy).... more>> It became too much. I will finish reading those last 20 chapters, but I need to read something else to get out of the too-sappy headspace. <<less

This novel started well and after reading 170 chapters I feel sorry for Shen Yu. It's not his fault his character in the novel is an innocent white lotus. I feel like the MC and the ML are kicking a puppy whenever they argue with him, he is not vicious or mean and honestly doesn't understand why people dislike him

I can't finish reading because I feel more empathy for the "villain" of the story than I do for the MC and ML
