Puffed-up after Giving Birth to a Wealthy Man’s Heir

Description

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

In the fifteenth year after he was mixed up at birth by a mistake, Yi Wei was taken back by his biological parents.

But the title of being the treasure of his parents, his eldest brother’s younger brother, even the white moonlight of his fiancé was not him.

As long as he didn’t care, he could live well. But he couldn’t help but care for these things, which lead to his miserable ending.

Only after his death did he know that he was just a cannon fodder in a book who was only there to be repeatedly cast down.

Under the shining aura of the protagonist, no matter how hard he tried to make himself excellent, it wouldn’t work.

After rebirth, he was not concerned about family love. If no one loves him, then he would love himself even more.

This life, he would enjoy life at ease, watching the battle between heirs, waiting for a good opportunity to avenge himself.

Sadly, even though he wanted to stay away from this battle, it’s deemed to be impossible. As the only decent heir of this wealthy family was actually born to him.

I have so much to say about this gem, but I'm too lazy to write it...
Plot holes, unnecessary angst, unexplainable moments, ridiculous characters, and so much more, but I still enjoyed it (I'm not okay, send help).

You won't miss anything: family drama, past kidnappings, accidents, pregnancy (so many pregnancies lol), face-lapping, more family drama with faints and fake tears, revenge plots, secret marriage, etc.

As I said, a true gem 👌🏻. If that's your thing go for it!

Anyway, read at your own discretion. I'll only make one warning: Do... more>> not read this if you are studying psychology or working in this field. I'm not even going to explain why. <<less

Writing this in case I forgot I have read this one.

A good and fluffy novel to pass the time with, especially after reading the heavy one.

As much as I enjoy fantasy novels and know that this is a fiction. Unless it’s a completely fictional setting or the world is completely explained, I’d expect some form of resemblance to reality instead of just all the cliches forced together into a novel. So far, I’m almost dying of second hand embarrassment from all the cliches forced into this novel. This novel is a no for me. I can’t even continue reading cause it’s cringey.

I didn't realize I've read this one before when I saw the title and the description... LMAO. I wrote this review to remind myself I've already read this because I'm pretty sure I'm going to forget it again in the future. The description is not specific enough. But that was how the plot actually goes. It's literally only THAT. So don't expect complicated drama in the plot.

It was honestly very forgettable, but not that bad, not the worst. It was good enough for a lighthearted and straightforward story. OP MC,... more>> OP ML, brain dead cannon fodders, I've read 10 other novels with the same type of plotline. <<less

This novel is quite embarassing to read.I know the author put a disclaimer about it being unrealistic because of her limited writing ability. But still. As a psychology student the secondhand embarassment was strong. Its genuinely so unrealistic and more like a child's fantasy of revenge. That everything would go their way and all their allies are amazing and reliable, all the enemies weak and s*upid. Like idk I guess I don't like how smoothly this is going LOL it really feels more like a fantasy than an actual plot... more>> progression <<less

Wow c my opinion is so different from other viewers. I enjoyed reading this novel because of the story. The translation is appreciated and good job. But went straight to MTL the rest.
MC and ML are getting to know each other slowly but I get the feeling ML already like the MC including the other personality. Truthfully I enjoy this drama because MC real goal is to protect his family and he hasn't realized his feeling for the ML. For the revenge aspect, I don't even feel like he... more>> is having any revenge at all but choosing to better his life and being happy.
I RECOMMEND

SPOILER SO FAR

Spoiler

why they are so good to each other. Both have terrible biological families who are only after his the family fortune. Both need to loved by a partner but they both lack communicating with each other.

I like the idea and situation, the reason I'm sticking to this despite the immature revenge is because they have a baby which is rare in bl. I think the translation can use some work but if that's how the author wrote it then their writing could use some work. Honestly there's a lot of plot holes already. If you guys don't mind that then feel free to do so.

i enjoyed reading this story even tho it has few flaws

was happy to see meng from second marraige.....

i was angry when our MC wanted to erase the second personality but glad he changed his mind

these are the flaws below but I ignored them cause I liked the story ... more>>
Spoiler

the way of his revenge umm...

i felt it was extreme o..o and the obvious guy (protagonist of og novel) to be punished was less effected

like neither the og protagonist nor his parents suffered much (yi family)

i feel the most suffered is gu heng (well its own fault who told him to be so high and arrogant)

the things I dont understand are

◇ who was after the adopted mom, why did they have accident (never explained)

◇ the kidnapping of our ml, is very s*upidest move by those guys, which made ML suffer many years :|

◇well I felt sorry for wu qing he just wanted to be frnds (well cant really force others to make frnds<so gonna ignore>)

◇i also think our MC yi wei has some trauma (postpartum depression?i think his twisted personality started here) from last life idk if he self cured but I still feel hes not cured when I read few linnes just my opinion (dont mind much)

◇am curious why the bun (sun qis second child) like yi wei I thought yi wei's first child x that bun (cause he bit him) >~< just shipping no sexualisation, just like childhood sweethearts ×dont bash me×

◇ oh right! almost forgot how qi ran trained under jeffrey if he was ill af with chemo

[collapse]

poor fellas ye guy and wu hao (these both are cute) add gu heng (hes not cute hes scum) too who lost their love 😝 <<less

I think this story is good, you can't compare it to a novel which has a complicated plot, but it's a pretty good one at its level. MC is not really cruel to pursue revenge to want people who are bad to him can't get back up, canon fodder characters can get up as long as they try and make peace with admitting their mistakes. The MCs don't chase them to the point of really having no way out, so I think it's quite worth it.

I have to say I did have some confusion since the other book with by the same author also wrote the main character using therapy so I thought I mtl the wrong novel.

It does has some similarities but also not. But bear in mind I don't remember what the plot from the last book other than therapy aspect.

Story wise it's actually pretty well written. The main characters motivation is clear and straightforward. Although it is exaggerated how well influential the MC is with his connections and how bloody talented he... more>> is. Even the ML is somewhat powerful. The fact that their way of revenge required a lot of planning and manipulation to get where the climax are was pretty fun to read.

I think my only part that I wish it's more interesting would be that the therapy aspect. I find the fact that MC is heavily involved with therapy is very interesting even if it's a little exaggerated.

Spoiler

But the process with therapy with ML is a okay. While their relationship as a married couple and are in love each other helps. ML problem is kinda there as tension honestly. While it is a threat for both of them as a business advantage, but there is never an instance where anyone came close to figuring out that his problem is suspicious. There is even text of relative finding it weird but not one person (except OriMC but he's just in denial). There are rumours about it but it never come up by anyone.

[collapse]

It's revenge that destroys not only material wise but also mental wise. The theme of those story has an emphasis of love but also revolving around the concept of families.

A lot that I find that younger generation are being impacted by the families around them. You can say there's a good family and a bad family. But even so there are some circumstances in the story that shows while the family intent is good, as an individual that has their own ideologies can ruin someone else's life. As you read through, you'll find quite a good amount of disgusting people.

The romance between the two is sweet but it's mostly about MC giving back what the pain he felt before his rebirth and rebirth combine.

There's a cameo from the author's last book. Also a second couple that is pretty cute with their own little conflict.

Spoiler

This is just letting my inner dislikes but there is one character that I absolute dislike that is far worse than the OriMC and OriMC's brother. I won't say who that character name is but the actions that they take in order for them take back lost love is so disgusting. This person is also a hypocrite. I didn't feel bad on the climax when they had finally lost all hope for taking back that lost love.

[collapse]

But if this story is too predictable for you that's fine. I think the whole story telling is pretty fun for me. <<less

Passable.

I'm actually pretty okay with the revenge. Not satisfied but it's okay. My anger on the antags are weared down.

The MC is gonna pursue psychology. I don't really know much about psychology. And the competition about it is a bit... weird.

... more>> Idk why there's a r*pe tag. There's no r*pe.

There's a cross-dressing bit.

I think the novel is a bit funny? I don't know why I thought that.

There are reasons nehind every chracters actions and I think that's nice.

This novel is full of family drama and MC being op. I didn't get emotionally invested in the drama though. Also the way MC opness is portrayed is...

If you just want something to read then this is an okay pick.

Also there's one of the reviewers who are confused about the cross-dressing and I'll just explain.
Spoiler

It was planned. The first time he cross-dressed, it was because ML wanted it to be his birthday gift. Then MC thought that cross-dressing is a good way to confuse their enemies. They made it look like ML is two-timing so that MC and the child in his stomach can be protected.

The second time MC cross-dressed, it was to trap their enemies. MC already gave birth that time and became the other master of the Gu family. So the enemies remembered ML's "mistress". So they tried to use this "mistress" to shake mc's psoition. But they were bamboozled.

All this was planned and ML knows what MC is doing. Also, this will be cleared up in a future chapter

So far, it's a passable story of rebirth and getting married to ex's uncle. For supposedly high society, people are very silly - the so-called heirs of different top families together seem more like 'Mean Girls' edition... The Ex and the white lotus and MC's so-called family make people so mad!!

ML has multiple personality disorder and no one has been able to find out his problems - But MC was able to differentiate between the two right away

... more>>
Spoiler

Probably because one of the personas r@ped MC causing him to better 'pregnant'. And MC has other reasons too, like glasses etc, which I could not understand in MTL.

One of the easiest MTL reads I’ve ever seen in terms of comprehension, and also extremely satisfying to read.

Both the male leads, support characters, and antagonists feel realistic and believable, with struggles that could as well really happen, and all of their reactions are plotting are well thought out, really! The author puts great effort into properly portraying their inner struggles and thinking, so it feels delightful to read.

The pacing and writing are also good and flowing, with compelling drama (mostly Yi Wei plotting the future which, good) and likable... more>> struggles, plus many funny moments, even if the overall tone is still more neutral than overly comedic or dramatic.

Spoiler

Like the whole Mi Wei plot, where Yi dresses up as a woman to plot against Xu Hua and Gu Heng’s power, or whenever Su Qin, the supporting lead, acts as a foodie and is spoiled by Wei Dong (they also have a really cute CP together, so, good)

[collapse]

Overall, the only thing that I’m slightly dissatisfied with in the plot is the OPness of the main lead, Yi Wei, but that can also be justified because he DID had a past life that justifies most of it and the other part is because of his adoptive family (love his mother, really, she is amazing)

Would recommend as either a “filler” novel, since it’s short enough to be read in a morning and with no lingering/overly drama to stress over, or as a relaxing read, since it’s pretty chill to read. <<less

Pretty okay. Not as boring as the author's other work... it mostly focused on the scheming itself and a lot of subplots from the first part of the book were forgotten.
Spoiler

for example, ML said he had a plan to remove his biological mother from the house, but that didn't happen. Instead, she was removed some other way

[collapse]

Overall, it was entertaining albeit a bit braindead. Give it a try 😊

I'd say the story kind of solid, technically. You got the scandal, politic, romance, drama, baby, etc etc. I think other reviewers already highlighted its best.

What I dislike are:

Spoiler
    • The author is the type that more to "tell than show".
      • Of course we see MC's 'slyness' to his enemies, but it's more because... the mobs were braindead.
    • I understand it because cencorship but the flower/water/pond?? thing are cringey :')
    • Too many "mobs' talk". Instead netizen's comment flooding it's the busybody mobs.
    • I understand that this is BL but... sometimes I wonder if you are THE MALE heir and you like BOYS and your brother ALSO like BOYS how the hell you have an heir in culture where real blood is prioritized? It's like this issue was ignored by MC's ex-fiance and MC's friend's boyfriend. Well the friend's bf probably have lots of younger nephew but MC's ex is the only grandson and MC's stepbro is not a yinshang (pregnantable male).
      • Everyone is gay! You are gay! He's gay! Anyone is gay! Well it's make sense if this is BL.... Omegaverse. But again, Yinshang is rare. And we're talking about high society with deep traditional culture here. And I don't think I read something about surrogate woman...
      • Somehow author made MC's friend a yinshang too. How rare. How convenient.
    • The 'pseudo' magical pscyhology. I don't have background of psychology but my parents are so I know a little. I think MC's adoptive mom more to psychiatrist/hypnotist rather than psychologist? Idk if I can explain it... the way she... reading MC's problem etc is too... magical?? That's not how 'reading' ppl. And it will not that detail. She is a psychologist not mind reader.
      • Also ML's manic personality. It's weird how the characters insist that he need to disappear. The proper treatment of MPD is too gradually MERGE the personalities. Not to destroy it. Wtf.

Just going by the bones of the story, I would honestly not be surprised if this is the Author's first story, but considering the plot happens chronologically after "Second Marriage of a Wealthy Old Man" it's not. I could probably name quite a few stories that share the same story bones: Switched at birth, Family prefers fake son, Rebirth, Being cheated on by ex-boyfriend*, ML has some sort of health problem, scheming in-laws, chaotic rich family, etc. Don't come reading this story expecting a master piece.

I do have to admit... more>> that the author does flesh out those bones at a bit more of a measured pace, there is no instant gratification ride off into the sunset in a month, so in that regard it's better than most other novels. Things in the story took many months and the entire story does continue over the course of ~3 years which is on the longer side of rebirth stories that I have read. Something the author does well is there isn't the feeling of OP golden-fingers [Cheats]. Of course, Yi Wei doesn't suffer any grievances for very long at all, but it felt more reliant on the background and family that Yi Wei grew up with rather then from his own talent impressing strangers. That I feel is a lot more realistic and it helped to flesh out the story in a more high-quality way. While it may feel like cheating because of the use of time skips, If time wasn't skipped and the story plot was compressed in time or the chapters were increased to explain the plot more, it would be harder to recommend this story.

In hindsight, Yi Wei's career choice was unique, but for such a critical industry it would probably be better to be a bit more careful on how it is portrayed. Saying that, besides it's use in business and HR analysis, I wouldn't say it's a career that's held in a very positive light in East Asian countries, and this is a fictional novel and universe with an already established unreal setting from the previous story in the same-universe. If the reader is sensitive to the industry I would say be careful otherwise just read worry free and don't believe everything you read in a fictional novel set in a different universe.

Yi Wei's Career:
Spoiler

Psychology

[collapse]

While reading the story it was engaging for the first 80 chapters, but once I started getting to the conclusion the pacing doesn't exactly slow or speed up for the last 15 chapters, but it kind of stutters? The chapters are short so I quickly pushed through and got to the end and finished the story, but it kind of felt like the author lost steam and that was reflected in the story pacing and details.

Addressing Plot Holes [Contains spoilers]:
Spoiler

Didn't the MC also cheat because he's pregnant when the engagement was dissolved?
-He had heard about a month before the engagement banquet that the engagement was dissolved and changed to Yi Xuan from a conversation his parent's secretly had. Yi Wei made a deal with Gu Yueshan to prevent the engagement from happening and also to let Yi Wei stay at the Gu house and the price was spending a night with Gu Yushan. He didn't know he was pregnant at the time of his previous life, but because he was reborn after a miscarriage he knew at the time of the story start that he was pregnant. It can't be considered cheating if the engagement was dissolved and both parties consider themselves "separated" before he cheated.

Why is psychology so weirdly depicted in the story?
The premise of this universe is mental health care has progressed a lot more. It is indeed weird that psychology appears more like mind reading. The novel's Society has progressed to the point that psychologists are having skill competitions, so most likely means that the industry is more advanced even if other parts of the world are at a similar stage to our modern world.

Why are there suddenly so many Yinshuangs (males who can conceive naturally) in the story I thought they were rare?
-If you read carefully the definition is "males who can conceive naturally without medical means". It might have been just a careless addition by the author, but it implies that with medical assistance males are able to become pregnant it just isn't naturally like a woman. Their rarity can also be from how they do not appear any different from normal males. This can be seen from Yi Wei's friend Sun Qi not knowing he was a Yinshuang and the statement Sun Qi's mother gave that many go on to marry women and have children like normal.


Who is the protagonist of the original novel where Yi Wei was the cannon fodder?
-It's not specified, but it was most likely Yi Xuan because he had the typical setting of protagonist. Loved by boyfriend, loved by family, talented in the industry he chose, loved by people around him, Yi Wei was constantly compared to Yi Xuan and found wanting. I think due to the actions of Yi Wei the cracks inthe original novel started to show, like how even though Yi Xuan thought himself better he was still secretly jealous.

Why isn't Yi Wei named Mi Wei since he was adopted by his mother Mi Xue.

-Both Yi Xuan's parents and Yi Wei's parents had the same surname Yi. Yi Wei and his mother Mi Xue kept the Yi surname to honor Yi Xuan's parents who worked hard raising him and desperately begged Mi Xue to raise Yi Wei even when (Yi Xuan's biological mother) was suffering from terminal illness.

[collapse]

There wasn't anything really memorable about the story besides Yi Wei's sharp-tongue, so I would recommend this as more of a novel to read while the reader is between novels. There is little to no emotional entanglement between the reader and story, and the reader can safely just turn off their brain and have a relaxing read. The novel is worry free and the reader can move on very easily without anything to hold them back like in more emotionally-engaging novels. An emotional palette cleanser would be a good description. <<less

MTL Completed, readability 80%.

The story flow was kinda abrupt. There's so many surprise in every character introduction, every coincidence, every face slap, it's like a hide and seek. You don't know what you'll find.

After rebirth MC has so many backing, it was hard to believe where they were in his previous life if they truly stand by his side all along.

This has potential but poor execution.
