Lu Lingxi died.

As a child born by his parents through precise genetic matching, for eighteen years of his life, he lived entirely for his brother, who had leukaemia. He was his brother’s shadow, a “medicine reserve bank” for his brother’s treatment needs.

Umbilical cord blood, stem cells, bone marrow… whenever his brother needed it, he would have no choice but to quietly lie on the operating table.

Until the last time, when his brother needed a kidney and he never came off the operating table.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Lingxi became a teenager with the same name Lu Lingxi.

Freed from the shackles of his fate, he possesses the mysterious ability to communicate with plants.

Raising flowers, gardening and running a farm, Lu Lingxi begins a very different life!

A great read !

It's a slice of life, plant-cultivating, nature and environment protection themed novel. It was a fun read, relaxing and light. Perfect for unwinding oneself!

I can't wait to read other novels by the author-sama and other novel translations by the translator-sama, ah!

... more>> Both did such a fantastic work, that it simply feels like an Awesome Twosome pairing !

Be it the storyline or the characters, it was a refreshing and a complete relaxing read, ah.

Admittedly, the MC's past life experience was heart wrenching, no doubt. But his rebirth brought light into his darkness. What he experienced after his rebirth, can be said that when he truly, rightfully lived his life. The panel he gained, the people and animals he bonded along his rebirth journey - it was all magical to say the least, but my heart goes out to him, especially knowing about his past life tragedy. There are too many people he created bonds with to mention all, but to mention a few key characters, would include Wang Shuxiu, Yan Yue, Dahei, Xiao Feng, Uncle Li, Ye Kang, Su Lang, An Jie, Xiaohei, Fang Lei and Xiaohui among many others... (the list is too long *facepalm*)

Anyways, the point is, this novel is a chillaxing read. Good for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a lovely storyline with warm family and friend bonding, harmonious plant and animal bonding and a lovely love story!

As a hardcore fan of the slice of life, farming and game elements troupes, this novel was a perfect BL read for me. So if others share the same or similar liking, have a go at it.

Highly Recommended!

Wishing everyone a Happy Reading! <<less

It's great! Buttt maybe because the power of MC is a little bit too interesting that I gradually become annoyed of MC and ML being lovey dovey all the time. Like I want to see more of MC just taking care of plants and animals.

The ML is literally an adult but still have problems about his parents, and all of his problems revolves around his family. He's like 27 but still moans about his family not taking care of him blah blah, and the fact that he doesn't acknowledge any... more>> of his siblings just because they're his half-siblings is too hypocrite!

I noticed this author have a very twisted views on what family ties is 😭 <<less

So sweet. A little exaggerated in some places but the drama isn't supposed to be the primary focus in this. It's a feel good story. A good foray into environmental awareness, too.

LLX and YY are so sweet together. I like the way YY took care of LLX and how LLX gradually adapted to his new life.

I had to rate this after rereading since I enjoyed it very much and the rating is going down.

Some gave a low rating bcoz MC is obedient wtfh. If you really read and understand MC's past it was really tragic and what he yearns the most is family and love. He did not even want to take revenge and just live a happy life with his new family and friends. Some people just want to pick some faults to give a low rating lol

Maybe yes MC can be considered one... more>> dimensional but the character development was definitely noteworthy. <<less

I love love love love this so much! The world building and plot flow is just amazing plus the theme! It is a slice-of-life novel that didn't bore me at all. May be there are people who'll find it boring due to lack of face slapping and dog blood, but for me its just perfect. I don't want MC to suffer at all as he already suffered enough.

I just simply love everything in this novel. The phasing for me is just perfect and characters are placed well although sometimes author... more>> can't help but forgot about them. ML, gosh this pe*vert is really awesome and you'll really love him. He care about MC so much that before the dirt reach MC, he already cleaned it up to give MC a peaceful and happy life. I can't describe every single one of the characters but I like them all especially the animals. DAHEI AND XIAOHEI ARE THE BEST. Also the details, author obviously did a great job doing her/his research about the plants, although have the elements of fantasy it is still great.

Some appear to be unsatisfied with this story... Maybe you took the plot with fantasy elements seriously? Just treat this novel as purely an entertainment that has some meaningful message instead of associating it too much with reality that could cause your dissatisfaction with the story.

Can't put into words my appreciation for the whole story so just read other peoples' 5✩ review for more description. Just a little disappointed with the ending because I honestly want more and I expect a different ending scenario. <<less

Absolutely Comforting, Refreshing, Relaxing, Funny, and Absolutely Lovely Novel ever!

So far the story keep getting amazing and better than ever!

It was Modern Fantasy theme. We will ge to see MC slowly changes his Village he lives in for the Better because his Planting Supernatural Magical ability.

It's not fast nor slow romance, and I LOVED IT! ML is obsessed with MC but he never restricting MC's movement. He never being Creepy in front of him. His thought was full of Possessiveness, but all his Action are Good for MC! So no... more>> worries. Our ML is Smart, Observant, Devoted, and Absolutely Loving and Caring!

Our MC is Totally Precious. So far, no flaws detected. So I wonder what would he do if he going to face some people who could make him emotional or if some big emotional event happen? Because so far, even when few problems exist, it was easily solved because no one is Idiot or Pushover in this story.

The Fantasy theme was Super Gold because things are just sooo Gooood!!! I wonder how far the author would use the Fantasy theme. Because now I can see everything is Possible!

Pray sooo hard the rest of the story are as Amazing as the story I have read so far!

Finished at 14 September 2022:

Till the End it was sooo Gooood!!! The World Building is so Good!!! The China is thriving in this novel because the Evolution!

I'm surely didn't expect the Novel would go that far! And that was Amazing!!!

The Characters still Very Enjoyable! The Plot is Fantastic for a Slice of Life Fantasy one!

So many Great Surprised. Written so Nicely! Totally Worth it!!! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!!!

AND IM TRULY LOVING THIS NOVEL SOOOOO MUCH FOREVER WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL FOR THE ETERNITY AND BEYOND!!! <<less

It's a very heartwarming novel. Not the kind where you would want to rush to read it in one setting. well of course you absoulutely can read it in one setting. What I meant is that, it's such a great story that you'd want to savor every bit of it slowly. In my case, I read it in between my studies whenever I take my breaks, and it doesn't takr away my focus on my studies because like I said, its the type where you can just read it slowly.

The... more>> characterization of the main leads, as well as the side characters are very balanced. The story line so far is very well paced, there's always elements that would keep the story going/interesting.

Wish I could give this a proper in depth review but I'm kinda busy so I'll just leave it at that. Overall though, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a story that will distract you for a bit but don't completely take away all your attention from important stuffs in real life. <<less

Very well translated so far so well done. :) The novel its self is interesting to read so far. I enjoy the concept with the plants and am currently enjoying the interactions with the ML and MC. I found the start to be frustrating with the family (think my Sisters Keeper style) but I'm happy with the current situation the MC is in.

I can't say much about how it will go from this chapter onward as I don't like to mtl novels. (The grammar kills a bit of me every... more>> time).

I'll update my review as I read further. ^^ <<less

So far so good. I recommend for those who want to take a breather from reading a dog blood drama novel lolXD I like the MC and the mature writing.

Not recommended for those who want a fast paced story, bcoz this is really a slice of life and I even get bored most of the time.

If this is not a BL novel and the ML is not handsome nor rich, I will find the ML really creepy for stalking MC and his locking him up thoughts lolXD but I pity... more>> ML at the same time.

Will probably pause my reading <<less

Story is going good so far, but the author really doesn't know anything about animal diets. They write snakes eating cream and milk, dogs eating chocolate and grapes, cats eating grapes... All of which are actually toxic for these animals. So, please don't try and give these foods for your pets!!!

I'll write more about the story itself when I finish reading it, and give it a star rating as well, but overall it's going really well with the caveat of unsafe animal diets being promoted...

EDIT: finished reading. The... more>> story is a tad immature and quite fantastical, but it's not a bad read. The interactions between MC and ML are quite harmonious, although MC is quite naïve, and the supporting characters have their moments to shine.

Overall, if you like the genre, it's good, just a tad lackluster.

Also,
Spoiler

there's a cat x human couple at the end. To me it's more on the bestiality scale than Zombie Emperor's Domestic Cat, which is already quite a warning.

[collapse]

That said, the animals are pretty cute. <<less

This novel is a good read, slice of life kind, with enough plot and sweet feeling. Maybe it’s just me, but I love how ML took good care of MC. Though the plants aren’t unfamiliar to me, I really enjoyed reading about them. 4.2/5⭐️

This was one of those farming BL type novels to read for pure enjoyment. It got a bit boring at some chapters but overall worth the read.

Modern World Setting / System / Abilities / Farming / Nature Ability/ Animal Communication

Yan Yue is the Gong/Seme/Top = Rich business man / from a rich family. Has his own investment company. Bad family relations (schemes limited to business no real drama to interrupt their relationship). Studied abroad. Fell in love first. Cold to everyone but the MC type but he warms up and... more>> becomes like a normal person after meeting the MC.

Lu Lingxi is our MC/uke/shou/bottom. He starts out as an 18 year old (gong waits until he grows up don't worry). He's naive and kindhearted because of not seeing much of the world even though his past is very tragic. Second life (he died and was reborn in a body with the same name and similar looks in the same world not a different one). He kind of has a system that can grow plants or help with their evolution or heal them/bring them back to life. But its more like a panel system not a system that controls a storyline. We slowly watch the MC grow up a bit and learn how to love and to make friends. Watching him step out from the tragic past life into a colorful new one.

Pets pets pets! Lu Lingxi has a stray dog called dahei (big black). He us the matchmaker of this relationship! Its because of dahei that the MC and ML meet.

Yan yue has a black snake called xiaohei (little black) who likes wrapping around the character's wrists, hide in their pockets, and eats sweets until his teeth falls out. He is so adorable especially when he is tied into a knot <<less

This novel is one of the most positive things in my life in recent weeks. As long as I kept reading it, I felt there was something good in my life every day. The whole message of the story is naive but also inspirational. For some reason, I almost felt tears in my eyes when this or that plant was saved, as if it was really a living being, or when the polluted river became clean again.

I liked almost all the characters in the novel very much (except for villains,... more>> that is). The MC was sweet, hard-working and pure. Why was he the one to get the panel? Exactly because of it. Because he would never use his ability to harm someone and because he was ready to work hard to fulfil the panel's requirements. The ML was very imperfect by himself but extremely perfect for the MC. The ML is actually quite annoying in the first chapters where he appears. But later he is so good that I can hardly believe I disliked him in the beginning. It actually reminds me the other translated story of the same author, I had similar feelings about the ML there - first disliked him and then loved him very much. It was interesting, I like when my perception of characters changes.

Totally liked the concept of animals communicating with people. Even though... do I really want to know what my cat has to say to me? The animals in the novel were really cool, though. Dahei and Xiaohei are my favorites. <<less

Love the story! This is a BL fantasy "fiction" novel, therefore it is okay to have not true to life facts. It's a great read. But, that is just my opinion.

This was a good novel. Even with it's rebirth theme, the author found a way for our naive but loveable MC to have a new life filled with happiness and not vengeance. It was quite different from most novels I've read with similar themes since the focus of the story was how both the MC and ML found their sense of belonging and solace with each other. The antagonists did received their retribution but they were not the focal point of the story which I truly appreciate.

A modern day slice of life novel. Love love love this a lot. How I wish I have a planting panel like Lu Lingxi, coz I love planting too. I love reading this with a lot of information about plants. And I love the pets too. Every chapter of this novel is great. Even Yan Yue's obsessive towards Lu Lingxi I find it sweet. And I also love the story of Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng, and the Fanwai of Xiao Hui and Fang Lei..

I really like the story, the characters' developpement, the tone of the interactions and everything about the plants.

The 3 stars are because of the ML. He is described as a cunning and thirsty wolf drooling over an innocent, naive and underaged white sheep. I don't know why the author decided to make her MC more and more naive until he seemed underaged, it's his second life... So the ML seems to be preying on him, which disgusted me. Maybe it's because she thinks only soft people can like nature and... more>> animals that much and only mentally ill people can achieve this much success in their job?

I'm currently reading because the overall story is nice, I just hope the ML will become less obsessive... Let's wait and see, I hope it'll become a 4 stars read. <<less
