I loved everyting, I totally got the excitement I want. The suspense, the drama, the romance, the plot twist not like those type where where the plot digress and it starts to become boring. I love that MC stick to his objectives and he never deviated from the reason and the driven force behind his rebirth. The MC was ruthless and I love it, he was not the forgiving type at all. He is the type that if you treat him badly he will return the favour thrice. The Translation... more>> was well done. Im really glad I stumble upon this. I hope there is more novel like this.

Spoiler

i was kinda disgusted of the romance relationship between shen ji and shen cheng. But I alraedy prepared myself as I have read the tags. It is still only fiction in the end. So whatever

[collapse]

Spoiler

I reread this again and let me tell that I almost had this confused with one bl interstellar novel. Because both of these novels has somewhat a similar psychotic uncle. And the antagonist here is a little bit, A little bit!!!! Understandable. I feel that it was because of the situation in the past involving his mother that led him to what he became in the present. But boyyyy the uncle in that interstellar novel is just straight up psycho, I mean what do you expect from someone who is into necrophilia

A nice revenge story.

As for the in*est tag,

It depends on you people. MC & ML are cousins (ML is from the mother's side), so ofc related by blood but different surname and I can accept it.

Real 'in*est' tag for me is

Spoiler

MC's two brothers

[collapse]

you can see the clue when you almost finish the main story.

you can skip the extra if you don't want to read it.

One of the best modern revenge novels out there. The plot is well-developed but very easy to follow. Business matters and family matters are mixed together. There are lots of twists and turns but it never felt confusing.

The main character, Shen Xi, is reborn after he spent ten years in prison, abandoned by his family. He did get in prison because he was guilty of a crime, but the key point is the sentence was not comparable to the crime, and while in prison, he was not only completely ignored... more>> by his family, he was constantly attacked, going through years of attempted r*ape and mu*der, until one mu*der attempt succeeded.

No wonder the guy is reborn a little grumpy and eager to make the perfect life of his perfect family a little less perfect. Just joking; he has a revenge plan and implements it step by step. What I found most enjoyable was that he minimally arranged some outside things to interfere, mostly using the hypocrisy of his family against it. His father who is glorified for loving one woman all his life is revealed as a muddled old man chasing beauties; his two elder brothers whose brotherly love seems unshakeable turn against each other. In the end, everyone gets what they deserve. There are many secrets from the past uncovered and there is another, unexpected force that interferes in Shen Xi’s revenge plan.

The romantic line was pretty cool. My attitude changed from disliking the ML to adoring him. The ML was actually quite refreshing, not the usual type of cold overbearing CEO. And once he realized his feelings, he was exceptionally sweet.

There are more than a hundred chapters but I never wanted the novel to be shorter. The plot was so intense it was hard to take breaks while reading. I have mixed feelings about the side pairing in the extras. It feels like a guilty pleasure; maybe the novel would be better without it but I still enjoyed it. <<less

Definitely worth reading! The plot was really good and the twist was unexpected, at least for me. It's a rebirth and revenge novel with a lot of things inside. It made me feel satisfied, worried, helpless, and interested.

Not your typical face-slapping revenge story! It's a lot more mature than the usual, at least. The MC (Shen Xi) had been imprisoned for most of his adult life after he had grown up as the "invisible" person in the Shen family. Upon dying during a prison riot, he finds himself ten years back in the past, on his eighteenth birthday, just in time to change things up. His goal is to successfully bring down the Shen family and get what he rightfully deserves, even if it takes years of... more>> work to do so... As for the ML, he's a very responsible boy~ Super self-aware but a bit blind when it comes to the people he cares about. And oh, he's also the MC's first cousin! So the in*est tags are very real!

Read this if you're looking for something more mature and psychological. The characters are all very complex, each having their own motivations and not designated to "good" and "bad" arbitrarily. The romance aspect is not bad either, though it's not necessarily the focus. As for the TL, it's of great quality, so there's no reason to go looking elsewhere to read it!

CHARACTERS: 9.5/10

The characters of this novel are all pretty solid. They might not all be likeable, but they're all very realistic and practically jumping off the page.

Shen Xi (MC)

Aloof and distant. After having spent ten years in prison during his past life, he's obviously a lot more tempered than your average protagonist. However, temperament aside, there's no denying that his past has left its scars on him. For example, since he grew up without much love and affection, he craves that comfort more than anyone else.

Li Mingxuan (ML)

He's the big brother type that is perhaps a bit too self-aware. He cares for the people around him unconditionally, and the MC most of all.

ROMANCE: 8.5/10

The romance storyline is quite psychological! It's less about passion and more about how two mature people naturally fit into each other's lives little by little. It's definitely not as exciting as most romance plots, but the quality is definitely high if you factor in the growth of the characters.

SETTING: 6/10

Since this novel is so character-centric, the setting is nothing too special. It's modern day, there's some business management stuff being explored but not in great detail, most of the setup is just there to support the development of the plot, so the setting suffers quite a bit. Anyway. It's not the focus of the story, so it doesn't affect anything much.

PLOT: 8.5/10

I was a bit confused about the developments at the end but there's no denying that the author did a good job keeping things interesting. The family drama was well-scripted. The theme of the story is obviously all about revenge, and how it can bring a family down through several generations.

RATING: 4.06/5

Altogether, a satisfying read! It's a lot darker and more mature than most Danmei novels, so be sure that you're in the mood for that kind of vibe. I personally enjoyed it a lot, though it might not be a favorite, I admire the author's good writing!

EXTRA NOTE: This novel is a bit spicy! Sm*t happens on screen, and while it's not super explicit, I'd still rate it several 🌶🌶🌶. Approximately 3.75/5? Maybe straight up 4/5. <<less

And you know what? This is really different.

As a big lover of second chance and rebirth, I’ve read it quite an amount and this is ready different. In a good and unique way.

The story is detailed, with good amount of romantic, emotions, drama, angst and fluff. The emotions it awoke in me were so vivid I’m in shock myself. Never expected this. The style is good, the pace is just right. From how good the mystery and detailed, I can understand how much work the author did. It was unexpected... more>> and high quality.

There is a good amount of angst and drama. But it’s good. Really good.

The novel and characters here gave me a down-to-earth feeling. I could feel like this is a real story, not novel. It was so alive, with the problems, struggles, the so unjust world. I was very immersed in it and this happens rarely.

The book is really deep. Be ready to be back and forth between heaven and earth. Still, this is a high quality novel and I definitely recommend.

P.S. Be aware of tags. In*est here. <<less

First: Read the tags! It's there for a reason.

Second: The culprits here are the parents, The Shen's and the Han's

I don't blame any of the children here, Shen Ji, Shen Cheng, Shen Xi and Shen Rong. Having toxic parents and elders will drive you insane for sure. The children are the victims here imho, every single one of them so I am not pointing any fingers and I understand why they have to do crazy things. If only the parents acted as parents and take responsibilities for all their actions,... more>> the outcome for these children would definitely be different.

The only sane parents here are the ML's mom and dad. They are very supportive and understanding hence why the ML grows differently from the other children in the story.

Kuddos to the ML for always being there for the MC, he sympathised and look at all the angles and tried his best to be on the MC's side. He truly loves the MC and same goes for the MC.

After reading the extra (MC's prison life), MC's revenged is justifiable. His prison life is just awful. And Shen Ji and Shen Cheng's extra, wow! (๑ ❛ ڡ ❛ ๑) ❤ Overall, they all get what they deserved. The life they chose and their retributions. I am thankful that even MC's prison bestfriend got his happy ending. <<less

THIS!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!

Translation is top notch!

I usually hesitate reading novels from early 2010s. I am grateful I started reading.

Although some people might be uncomfortable because of the main ship.

Spoiler

ML is Shen Xi's cousin. Li Mingxuan.

[collapse]

In our culture, once a girl is married off, the name will be removed from the family register, considering to be from a different family. In my family, lots of people married their aunt's child. So I didn't get uncomfortable.

This is one of the best revenge novels that I have ever read. This isn’t a “the best revenge is living well” kind of read but a “get revenge and then live well” kind of novel.

MC has definite reasons for being mad, and I like the fact that it was actually pretty realistic in how MC got his revenge. It wasn’t just a few chapters and then the rest of the novel dedicated to him and the ML getting together, but the entire novel. And there were quite a few... more>> plot twists that I never saw coming which made this an even more enjoyable read.

Yes, their is in*est between the MC and ML, however, when you take into account how the MC grew up and his relationship with the ML prior to the start of the story, it doesn’t feel like in*est at all. And unlike the majority of other stories where the ML automatically takes the MC’s side, this one is different. ML has a good relationship with the people MC plans on getting revenge on, and the novel shows his struggles before he ultimately makes his decision in a realistic way.

If you like plot, revenge, MC’s that are not the ultimate paragon of goodness and don’t mind the familial relationship between the MC and ML, I highly recommend. <<less

I loved this novel. I put off reading it for a long time because the description made me think it was going to be a hardcore face slapping type novel which I feel iffy about if not done right. This novel does it right!

The novel does not focus too much on flashbacks with the MC suffering but just enough glimpses and scenes to fully illustrate how his past shaped his current psyche. There's a lot happening and the author does well to compact all the details into a story that... more>> flows well. No scene is unnecessary and no chapter feels like a "filler."

MC's revenge is focused on the Shen Group, the conglomerate company behind the Shen family fortune rather than at each individual and I have to admit that's what made me love this novel so much. Compared to another rebirth novel *cough*Silkpants*Cough* where that MC targeted vengeance to the death to people he didn't even interact with in his rebirth lifetime, this MC focused on the cause of everyone's misery, the company, the money and the lies the revolved around it. In MC's entire revenge plot, not once was his goal to condemn anyone to death. MC also did not bother to waste his time on people that did not bother him in his rebirth lifetime like Wenyao, which to me shows he is staying level headed the entire time.

As for the in*est tag, they're cousins on the father's side. Maybe I grew up watching old Hong Kong black and white movies too much, where the couples are often cousins in rich families so I'm not too weirded out by it. Also, they'll never have children together like a het couple and they also never had much interaction with each other until they met again as adults in their 20s so there's no grooming or any of the stuff I would usually be grossed out by. In a way, I feel like ML being his cousin and being so closely tied to the Shen family yet still choosing to love him after finding out about his revenge plot was what saved MC. The story would have felt different if ML had no relation to the Shen family. <<less

Rating: 4.0

... more>> Pairing Type: reborn, rich MC x kind, rich ml; cousins; twisted mc; cunning mc; devoted ml

Tropes: rebirth; revenge; family drama; entertainment industry; rich families; inheritance battles
Triggers: in*est; su*cide; death; violence; mentions of r*pe; drug use

Heat level: medium-high (4/5 spicy) semi-explicit love scenes

Re-readability: won’t reread

I have complex thoughts about this novel, much like the complex characters.

Let’s get the elephant out of the room: the in*est tag. What’s the deal with that? The leads are cousins, and they do not shy away from this fact. It is somehow not a bigger issue than it probably should be.

Spoilers:

Spoiler

But not just them, the two eldest BROTHERS are in a relationship with each other if you read the extras. Why can’t y’all find people outside of your family? There are literally so many people out there. This family could benefit from downloading Grindr.

[collapse]

Anyway, ignoring that tidbit of information.

The plot is actually quite good. I agree with other people that this would make a GREAT soap opera lol. The family dynamics, the twists and turns—all would make great TV lol. I was on the edge of my seat the entire journey.

The MC is very complicated. If you like a bright, innocent MC, you will hate him. He is vindictive, petty, and narcissistic. I found him fascinating. He does have layers to him, and I thought the natural progression between him and the ML felt very natural to his personality.

MCs, and by extension, the author, view on the world is a bit twisted. While I do understand his neglectful childhood resulted in him being so twisted, there are some things you have to take some accountability for. It is not external parties’ fault that MC became a “waste” that couldn’t do anything. MC had autonomy and no element in the story expressed otherwise. MC chose to do drugs and chose to ram his car into two people. No one forced you to make these decisions bro. And he continues to dwell on the fact that this was everyone else’s fault with very little self reflection. I would consider him an unreliable narrator. At the very least, he expressed his anger had less to do with his actions that night, and more to do with everything leading up to and after the fact

Regardless, I did find his desperation for revenge fascinating. He was so desperate for revenge that he was literally willing to give up his own happiness.

Spoiler:

Spoiler

This is also a direct reflection of the true antagonist of the story. Directly expressing what MC could have become if he took one step further down the path that he was going.

[collapse]

ML was a good foil for MC. He is self-reflective and inherently kind. It is this kind of personality that MC probably most needs to help him let go of the past.

Anyway, would I recommend this? Sure, if the tags don’t bother you, go for it. I devoured this in two days lol <<less

After reading this story, all I can honestly say is WOW. The story itself is amazing and the plot deserves an applause. Let me get in to the review. TLDR; just skip to the last part. Lmao

Plot:

(1) The plot is refreshing as far as revenge, regression, and rebirth stories are concerned. The way the MC died before his regression wholly fits the narrative of turning back in time; not just cause of "accident" or "sleep and woke up in the past". I love how even though the MC regressed,... more>> he didn't became dumb and unaccustomed to his surroundings instead he adjusted accordingly and from there on, planned his revenge. His attitude also didn't change much. He's very lowkey with his changes and I LOVE THAT. No one suspected a freaking thing.

(2) I love how the story slowly unfolds. Literally. It did not dump informations in one go and instead created an opportunity to make the information known to the readers and the characters themselves.

(3) Although I love the the story, I can't help but frown on the reasons why the characters did what they did. I can't help but think of it as petty revenge but I also can't help but think that if I were in their shoes, I think I would also go to great lengths to make the people who did me wrong, pay.

(4) The Revenge. It was so good and I'm so glad he went throught with it despite the odds. I was honestly not expecting him to still get on with the revenge in the middle of the chapters seeing how he's in a relationship with his cousin. But after the first few of the middle chapters, and from the way things are going, it was highly unlikely for the MC to stop his revenge just because he was in love with someone. I'm really glad that he came through with it.

(5) in*est. I'm not against in*est when it comes to fictional characters. But I honestly would have preferred if the ML isn't his cousin tho. I think Fang Louwei suited the MC better as Fang Louwei was with him through thick and thin and someone the MC trusts but oh well.

Characters:

(1) MC - I honestly didn't vibe that much with Shen Xi but that doesn't mean that I don't support him wholeheartedly. I love how he doesn't let romance and conscience stop him from satisfying his revenge on the Shen Family. Although the main reason why he went to jail (in his first life) was because of his own actions, that didn't mean MC is the sole person to blame for his downfall. The Shen, Tian, Fang, and Li (yes, I'm looking at you Li Mingxuan) families are also part of the blame.
    • The Shen - it all freaking started with them so don't get me started on how rotten they are. From their grandfather to the present generations. It still angers me how shameless and selfish and a manwh*** their dad is.
      Spoiler

      How could you not save your son who was injected with drugs and alcohol by his so called friends!? Also, what the f*** is up with you ignoring and making your legitimate child feel inferior than an illegitimate one??? Man, he must have a lot of loose screws in the head. Smh

      [collapse]
    • The Tian - don't even get me started on their sole heir. What Shen Xi did in his first life was justified with how barbaric and manwh*** that guy is. They even have the audacity to make Shen Xi rot in jail. Smh
    • The Fang - I can't believe they wanted to still marry their only daughter to a b*st*rd (Yes, I'm talking about you, f***ing Tian) who cheated on her thrice!
    • The Li - just because Li Mingxuan ended with Shen Xi doesn't mean I forgive him for leaving Shen Xi when he f***ing promised HE WOULDN'T. Also, they didn't do a freaking thing to stop or help Shen Xi. If they really pity and felt guilty towards him, they should've helped him.
But anyway, I'm so glad that the time he spent in jail wasn't for naught. He knew how to be lowkey, when to bare his fangs and when to hide them, he learned how to move strategically that could benefit him while hitting his enemies. And I'm so glad he had his revenge in the end. Shen Xi was willing to sacrifice and leave his happiness just to obtain his revenge which in a way, I guess, could also bring him peace and happiness.

(2) Li Migxuan - look, I'm not against him and all but he f***ing promised HE WOULDN'T LEAVE SHEN XI and yet he broke that f***ing promise!! And he had the audacity to come crawling back??? I mean, I do understand his plight but please, he knows that he's in a tight spot when he got into a relationship with Shen Xi yet he promised such words when he knew that Shen Xi doesn't easily trust people. What an a**. I was kinda hoping they break up dramatically but at least he redeemed himself in the end.

(3) Fang Louwei - man, I love this guy. Although he doesn't appear much, he's always there supporting Shen Xi. I know I was all for him to be the ML but I was also kinda glad he didn't fought for the MC. The last thing I wanted was to make this book change its trajectory to triangle romance.

(4) Shen Ji and Shen Cheng - I honestly don't hate Shen Ji instead I felt great sympathy for him. He lost his mum at a tender age, had to accept the fact that he's gonna have a new mum in just a year's time after his mum's passing, had to take care of his younger brother, had to study to make sure he's worthy of being an heir, and had to guard from the wolves in and outside their family. Poor guy. Shen Cheng, I honestly hoped for him to be in good health. He's done enough trouble.

Over all comment:

I love it. If you guys want something refreshing, I highly recommend this novel. The revenge dish was so good; 5/5. <<less

First of all, translator San, thank you for your hard work. The translation was very well done.

I've read lots of rebirth/revenge plots but this one takes a notch higher. I love the MC, his ruthlessness and his resolution. I love the ML, his dedication and his love for MC. The characters are far away from being flawless but it's their flaws that they seem more alive.

I highly recommend reading the tags before moving forward. The path to revenge was smooth from the beginning with little to no stumbling blocks for... more>> MC. There's some angst between MC and ML but it's solved as quickly as it came. MC knew what he wanted and he, till the very end, fulfilled what he desired. Everything that happened to him, he didn't deserve it. And anyone in his shoe, will do maybe worse than what he actually did.

Spoiler

The grievances of past two generations, he bear the burnt. What was his fault? That he was born? That his mother couldn't perform her responsibility as a parent? That his father never wanted him to even exist? He was the most innocent out of all the people involved. His mother was selfish tbh, arrogant even, which led to her death and the beginning of her son's miserable life as well as her family's downfall. His father should just rot in hell. In the name of true love, he delude himself to the point that, at the end, it was nothing but his love for beautiful young face. I don't wish such a father to even my worst enemy. His grandfather, his brothers and his relatives are equally responsible for all the pain MC had to suffer. He was deliberately raised as a waste, so I don't blame him for his actions before his rebirth.

[collapse]

ML, what can I say, I love him for his dedication and love for MC and it's understandable to have conflicted emotions while standing between your lover and your best brother. Though I didn't like some of the decisions he made, he's only a human after all. As flawed as he was, he was still the warmth that MC desperately needed and I'm happy it turned out well at the end.

Spoiler

I don't agree with ML's mother about her opinion on what MC should do as a part of Shen household. MC had the right to grieve and seek revenge for not anyone but for himself. If they had just educated him well, then he might have a different ending and wouldn't be stuck in the abyss. Why should he forgive and forget for what happened to him? Why should he be filial to someone who hated his existence? Someone who was disgusted just by hearing his name.

[collapse]

The Shen brothers were a great surprise but I'm glad they finally have a moment of peace and happiness. Even if they're partly responsible for MC, they were implicated by their father's teaching and indifference to MC as well the action of MC's mother.

The plot is refreshing and quite interesting. Give it a try if the tags don't bother you much. It's a good plot and it'll be waste to miss it. <<less

4.5 ⭐

Overall I enjoyed the MC's (ShenXi) character. Loved how he is this way but shows the outside world another image of him!

To be honest I don't think what ShenXi (MC) did was over the top. Why? Cause if I put myself in his shoes and live in prison for 10 years, having to constantly worry whether i'll get beaten up or r*ped by others or not i'll f*cking giggle when I see the shen family fall. Not just the prison period but even before he entered prison, his whole... more>> existence was shunned by everyone and what I mean by everyone is literally EVERYONE. If the shen family treats him like that, no other person in that world that personally knows the shen family will ever show goodwill to ShenXi. Living that sort of life isn't considered living at all. It's tragic!

Spoiler

I'm actually surprised that he didn't do anything else to the shen brothers but then at the same time I can understand why he didn't as well. Because the one mainly dealing the damage to the MC is his father and the person that created so many troubles for the MC when he was in prison. At the end of everything, it seems that ShenJi and ShenCheng better understood the MC and left him alone instead of constantly finding troubles for him.

[collapse]

Of course I can also understand why our ML seem shocked by ShenXi's behaviour. I meannnn ShenXi did try to portray a better image infront of our ML (actually not just the ML but almost everyone). But I'm glad the ML tried to understand him better instead of just forcing his own ideas on the MC. Thankfully thankfully our ML really does dote on our MC so it's really good. Love how the ML provides warmth and comfort to the MC when he needs it most.

However, what I did not really enjoy is that even though the writer brought up the MC's past to the ML through his dreams, they did not really address it fully. Also, I felt like it should be a little longer between the end of the revenge and the ending. Should there not be more scenes to address the MC's inner thoughts and feelings after everything is settled before the so called

I really like this novel. I can say one of the best novel I have read. The plot is superb. In this novel MC is cold, distant, does not like to trust others and only things of revenge. And I have never seen such a scumbag like mc's father, he first had his first love (mc's step-brother's mom) as his wife and he did love her deeply, then after she died he married mc's mother when he still loved his first wife just to use her family. Then he had... more>> affair with another woman and gave birth to mc's another step-brother. And finally mc's mother died (reason: not gona spoil you) and the one more woman those age was his granddaughters. But she was just a set-up by MC. At that point I was like seriously 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️.... I don't even have words.

The cutest thing was MC and ml. The ML was honest, caring and loved MC so much. I even felt sorry for him when they both broke up (obviously temporary). But it was one of the best ML I have read. <<less

I haven't finished reading it but I can't contain my desire to share my love for this novel.

First of all, I DO NOT like in*est. Even though the MC and ML are not brothers, they are still blood-related so I did not fully accept this novel when I found out who the novel is. I pushed through because it was so well-written that I am drawn to read chapter to another chapter.

After that, I like the protagonists' relationship. Ml's love is like a warmth melting Mc's frozen heart. All the... more>> Ml's words and actions are presented just for this reason.

I also like the revenge plot but I felt that some things are so convenient like
Spoiler

how there was a person who look like Fang Yun and is also conveniently very smart at seduction and is okay with doing it

[collapse]

Anyway, all in all this novel is one of my favourites. <<less

This is a very.... different sort of rebirth danmei, I went in with very low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised with the twists and turns at the end. It is a revenge rebirth story, but there were some things that MC didn't know in his past life that he found out in this life that got him to undergone 5 rides of emotional roller coaster and made him doubt. I personally found it interesting enough to read everything in a day.

To get the elephant out of the room though, I'm... more>> going straight to the point about the main trigger warning of this novel, which is in*est.

Depending on where you live at which part of the world, cousins marrying each other is not considered to be in*estuous/forbidden. From where I'm from, this isn't an uncommon case, so I'm not bothered by the main CP. The main CP are cousins. If this bothers you, then I suggest not to read this.

HOWEVER. There is actual in*est in this novel, blood related brothers being together, but this was not revealed until the end of the novel. If you do not want to read this part, you can skip all the chapters from 97 until the end. Chapter 96 is where the main story with the cousins CP ended. I guess the first 3 paragraphs of the 97th chapter is readable but from 4th paragraph onward the siblings in*est is there.

I would absolutely recommend this if you like intrigues and dog-blood-plot. <<less

A very interesting story about a boy rebirthed to take revenge. What I like about this story is that it is relatively fast moving and there is a sense of mystery as the story unfolds especially the ending few chapters. It is also about a kind of unconditional love, about opening a broken heart to let in the sincere warmth. A family's misunderstanding, human manipulation and weaknesses, wrong actions creating unnecessary hatred. We can also learn from this story, that a little understanding and love can go a long way.
