Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead

Description

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

Jian Shiwu was reborn. In the previous life, relying on his family background, he forced the male protagonist Shen Cheng to get engaged to him.

Only after his death did he realize that Shen Cheng was terrifying.

The man’s power was overwhelming, and he retaliates against everyone by means of brutality, and single-handedly built a business empire.

This taciturn man in everyone’s eyes has never been a soft persimmon, but a dormantly waiting wolf.

After the rebirth, Jian Shiwu decided to stay away from Shen Cheng to keep his peace

At the beginning:

Parents: “I heard that you like Shen Cheng, do you want to get engaged to him?”

Jian Shiwu: “I’m afraid you want me to die!”

Friends: “I heard you still like Shen Cheng?”

Jian Shiwu was shocked: “It’s fake, don’t believe in rumors, don’t spread rumors!!”

The story how MC rebirt after he died and back to the time when he still in middle school.

DO NOTE READ EXTRA even the author said its unrelated to the main story but its still give you the unsatisfied feeling

Spoiler

if you accidentally read the extra, make your own continue happy ending, eg: Seng Chen suddenly remember his past life that Jian Shiwu died due accident and now in this life Jian Shiwu still with him, happy ending the end 😁😁😝

It's a cute plot, but it was kinda hurtful reading, so I stopped.

... more>>
Spoiler

I had to stop reading after the "fake son" was being pressured into switching his grandmother's medication. I feel super bad for him, it wasn't his fault that he was switched and was never properly raised in a loving family. All he wanted was his father's love/affection/attention and the man who was supposed to do that failed him. It feels like the author set him up as a prop just for the drama. I don't want to know how it turns out, but the character is just a child who just had a terrible shock and couldn't make a right decision anyway.

I'd like to see him reborn and figure out a way to avoid the whole mess...

I loved the story! It was sweet, happy, realistic and in a way, heartwarming. For me, MC and ML, both of them were characters with real emotions and problems. Their misunderstandings, for a part, were quite heartfelt.

... more>>
Spoiler

For the extras, I was really dumbfounded and shocked at the end. But instead of what many readers think, I have my own theory. And it's that MC did time travel. And the end, ML was actually seeing MC's second chance at life from that Virtual Reality Controller. For me, the emotions, feelings and the whole life of MC was too realistic to be judged as a virtual reality game. I believe he was real. Even if the ML really knew the MC, he couldn't have known him to the point of oblivion, or else he would have understood the decisions and emotions of MC perfectly, which he actually didn't. He knew the MC's habits very well, but he did not know his feelings. I don't think there's any way ML would have been able to recreate the MC wholly like a proper life. And MC even says at the beginning that he met ghosts, who told him of ML's identity as the male lead, and his role as a cannon fodder to not disturb the male lead and female lead.

There are many points, but I want to say is, for me, their second chance was real. Not a virtual reality.

I'd rather accept ML seeing the second life rather than all of this being a tragedy. Some points just don't match up.

I think the author very much wrote this a second chance at life story. But threw as in a loop with the extras. Author, I love you for writing this story, but for your extras, I am going to believe what I want to. Your tragedy tag won't work on me 😇

All in all, I loved the story. Best read. Very recommended!! <<less

This story is alright. I rated it 4 stars because of the last 2 extras which made me cry regardless of the stuff it glossed over.

I didn't finish reading the main story because I got bored. In my opinion, Jian Shiwu is too much of a Mary Sue. There were a lot of plotholes and parts which made me cringe. I only stayed because of Shen Cheng's character. As the story progress, it makes less sense to me. It feels dragged out considering that it doesn't really tackle issues that... more>> matter and Jian Shiwu is getting more useless and a "protected flower". <<less

This novel made me laugh so many times and fed me dog food. It's a really slowburn type of romance so if you don't like slowburn types, u probably won't like this.

But I really love this novel except for the 2 extras in the end. It really BROKE my heart. I f*cking wept.. cried., howled.. drowned myself in tears..

Spoiler

The last sentence of the extra really hit me..

What if everything was just Shen Cheng's wish?? How he hoped he would have done better? How he wished Jian didn't love him so much yet in the beginning just so he can properly pursue him..

And that everything.. from chapter 1 to chapter 122.. it was all just in the VR. A simulation for Shen Cheng..

What if we never received our happy ending in the 122nd chapter😭😭😭😭😭

I'm so f*cking sad right nooooooowwwwwwwww... 😭😭😭😭😭 I swear there's onky a few things I regret in my life but reading thr extra chapters really broke my anxiety filled, overthinking brain...

The novel was quite interesting however it wasn't really well put together like no one even questioned the same s*x marriage and everyone treated the same s*x relationship like normal. There are also other inconsistencies with the story but I'm not going to put it all together as to avoid having spoilers.

I still gave this novel a high rating of four stars because it made me feel happy though the extras made me feel so sad for the past life Shen Cheng, he love the past Jian shiwu but he... more>> was sufferings just because he doesn't know how to express his feelings for he grew up with a very unstable home environment. <<less

I'll rate this 4 stars since it is not boring and is quite a breezy read. However, it is filled with inconsistensies and quite a few contradictions. It's like the author wrote the novel sporadically and forgot about the details of events which happened in earlier chapters and did not bother to look back and just gave another account of the same event (s). These things bothered me a lot as I tend to subconsciously compare. As a side note, the title does not match at all with the plot,... more>> except for the "reborn" part. <<less

It's not new to me to read reborn novels but the characteristic of some character are quite different from what I used to read.

... more>>
Spoiler

1. ML, though he is paranoid and possessive he didn't do excessive things like locking him up somewhere and prevent him from meeting other people.

2. MC, he isn't like those common reborn who did bad things and want to change or who wants revenge. I don't know if the novel said why he was reborn, maybe I missed it, but I think he was reborn to fix the misunderstanding between him and the ML.

3. ML's Father, he isn't like those brain dead parents who throw their real child for the sake of the child they taken care of for years.

[collapse]

For the plot:

Spoiler

1. It's a little disappointing that MC didn't understand the whole truth about the bankrupt of their company and his parents death. Since he thought that all of it are ML's doing, he will have a hard time accepting the love he has for ML.

Though in the story, the past was slowly forgotten.

2. It was amusing when I read the extra's. I didn't think that the author will used the VR that ML made to used as the different timeline for their story.

[collapse]

Overall, I like it. There's only a few novels that started when they're child. Most of the novels starts at young adult. Its not new but interesting to read. <<less

I've just completed the whole novel and I must say that it really is something considering that I'm a BL fan who is particularly interested in rebirth or transmigration. All in all I'll give this novel 4.5 stars because of the loopholes. But at the end of the day this is novel is also a page turner.

Ummm this is my first writing a review so it might not be that great but this is what I understood.

... more>>
Spoiler

In his first life, MC was arrogant and ML lacked communicating skills which lead to many misunderstandings and their relationship becoming awkward. ML who had never known what love or family is thought that he had given MC everything so he should be happy. But MC never wanted his wealth or anything, he just wanted to spend time with ML and get along like a normal couple. ML only realized that he had missed too much when MC died. But there's no pill to cure regret.

At the start of the novel, it is shown that MC gets a second chance at life and is reborn in his junior high days, when he was 14. He tries to change his life and stay away from the ML but as a side effect of his rebirth he frequently gets headaches which disappear when he's close to ML and MC unknowingly starts paying ML a lot of attention and discovering things he didn't know about the ML in his past life and MC unknowingly helped ML several times when he was turning black.

In the extras it is shown that after MC died, ML developed a VR helmet but it was not told how many years it took and same with the rebirth of the MC. It was not told for how many years he was dead before he was reborn.

The end of the second extra shows that when the ML also died and his secretary found his personal VR helmet while going through his stuff and put it on that we are shown that the scene that appears is of MC in his junior high days AFTER he was reborn.

After reading some reviews my opinion is that when ML made his personal VR helmet MC's soul came into it and MC thought that it was rebirth and he was given a second chance while ML thought that while creating there was a bug but he couldn't care less because he wanted to see MC so he went on with it and the more he looked at it the more addicted he became. And the reason for MC's headaches should be related to that when he wanted to go away like in his previous life he went to buy water when they went up the mountain and missed the scene where ML saves the girl but is accused of leading them to go into the water and so on, but ML wanted him to see it for himself how he was wronged and so he tried to stop the MC from going which gave MC headaches so then MC would stop and see what actually happened.

But we have seen most of the things from MC's perspective so I can't be 100% accurate...

Chapter 122 is the end of main text/story. Happy Ending!

- MC gets reborn. The main plot is all about MC getting the chance to start all over again, be happy and do things differently.

Do not read the 2 extras if you dont want Tragedy ending

-MC dies. ML made this vr simulation to help him cope with MC death, hence a tragedy. No matter whatever ML wants to do, its already too late because MC is dead.

Spoiler

From some reviews here they think that all that chapter 1 to 122 were just a simulation made by the ml.

[collapse]

Ps. I like rebirth stuff so I regret reading the extra chapters. BUT I would like to believe that both MC and ML had their been each given second chance:

-MC real rebirth

-ML simulation

I am warning everyone to read this spoiler only after completing the story.

It's not an review, I am not good in writing review.

It's just my personal experience.

... more>>
Spoiler

I was at chapter 65 and I thought to check review for some details and I checked the spoiler and I regretted it because I thought how could this fluff story have tragedy but nope all this story was virtual.

Now I can't read story any further because I don't have that much courage to read it while knowing the extra.

Neither my ignorance is strong to forget that there is extras.

I can't read this story any longer. Omg I hate myself so much.

I swear to god I never ever regretted any moment as this.

I am really hating myself right now.

One more though it's my fault for reading spoiler but why is there no tragedy tag, is to maintain the surprise element???

Overall a pretty immersive read.

Although MC and ML were somewhat standard characters for BL (innocent, sunny MC), (tyrannical cold CEO ML), the MC has some hidden depth. MC has a lot of past trauma, fears, and has some dark parts despite his sunny personality. Most of the time, he's not a easily bullied flower waiting for ML to come save him.

Both are pretty bad at communication and there's a lot of tension/intentional misunderstandings so it can get frustrating at times. But it didn't get too bad (only one misunderstanding... more>> dragged for a long time).

I was also glad that the story went beyond just middle school students... there's time skips where both mature and become young adults. So the celebrity parts and "becoming an office worker" was quite fun and entertaining. Overall a great read.

Spoiler

I thought the extras were interesting (was not a tearjerker for me), it was interesting to see how the VR, which had been a mysterious element throughout the main story be brought in in-connection to the alternate past

[collapse]

Translation overall not bad, flowed well, started having more issues in the later parts where some word choices and sentences didn't make sense.

Spoiler

Tang party I'm guessing should have been "Don" party since it's being led by Donald.

I am still reading it and honestly it is not the best rebirth novel, plot holes and lack of common sense, some strange ideas about western culture and people...

But what got me to write this comment is this:

Chapter 101 Lui Heng to a crying girl whose father may die soon...

... more>> Lui Heng also stuffed her with a pack of clean tissues: "Little girl, don't cry, it's better to smile. It would look better."

Dafuk?! Is it what important now? For her to look good? There is a tragedy in her life and you ask her to smile so she looks better???

Upd: actually after reading extras I liked it a little bit more... it was an unexpected truth behind the rebirth. <<less

Not quite sure what to rate it. At times it was a 4 star and other times a 3 star. The story itself sometimes drags on, with the MC being a bit silly and the miscommunication for everything ever.. I do like how the author went into the emotional part of being reborn and hoe it wouldn't be so easy to do a clean wipe of everything.

On a side note. The extras broke me.
Spoiler

While the author left the extras open ending, I cried big time. Do not read the extras if you want a HE!

The extras ruined the story for me, I wasn't reading this knowing it was ambiguous so I was blindsided and found it all extremely sad.

Yes, there were some points I thought were dragged too much, but then the ending was at least satisfactory. And then, I read the extras....

I really enjoyed the beginning of this novel, however the middle is getting exhausted. The side characters (the family, the best friends, the enemies) were really interesting but now I am impatient when reading. The misunderstanding feels easy enough to clear up and the fact that it still hasn't been is pulling me away from the story.

I was advised to read the side stories and I thought it was help me regain my interest but it made me less interested. It just makes so sense given the way the story... more>> is written/perspective of the story. I won't go into any spoilers however. It just feels too weird without good flow.

Its not a bad sorry, I just think it didn't need to be longer than 80-90 chapters. The filler is tedious and unnecessary. If I have time I will come back to it, but for now I will just pause. <<less

The novel is absolutely hidden gem and wonderful I loved MC and ML so much their love for each other. And about extra and mostly people who are taking that one tragic extra as ending and misunderstanding it don't If it makes you feel better, there is an author's note about the extras:

**The extra chapters have an open-end and are separate and unrelated to the main text\~**

So you can choose to not read them, and it won't change the story as well as those extra aren't ending of story to... more>> feel free to read without thinking it as bad or sad ending <<less

I don't know how to exactly describe my feeling about it, actually I feel like crying to read one more chapter, I want to knew if jane shiwo will really tell shen cheng about their past life but I get shocked that it just ended just like that, I am in tears now. I laughed with shiwo and cryed with him as well while asking myself why would I abuse myself watching the MC cry ?! Why not look for a vrey strong character that wouldn't cry so easily ?!... more>> But I just couldn't not continuing.

I liked that the novel explained about the supporting charecter as well which felt like a real life not like some noveles which would be only about two characters without any friends or family or even an enemy, this novel prorate every character and give it a life even if briefly.

As someone who reads all chapters, shiwo and shen cheng lake communication which is a fatal to any relationship, sometimes just sitting around without even talking and doing your own things as long as you were comfortable with the other party would be good but if you feel the other party hated it and not smiling at you, saying hurtful things while trying to care which is not surprising as the ML did not interact eith people good before maling interaction hard for him so he bound to make mistakes.

Shiwo wanted attention, he always felt hated so he just wanted shen cheng to care, for example if he is worried he would hurt his self in the kitchen, he can just say that he was worried, why would he make it look like he is not needed ?!

However, then again shen is strong willed if he is too against it he would have find a way a avoid it and except the s*upid masseges because of his poor talent at letters that made people want to beat him, he did not bully him, he always respected him.

I liked that the novel was logical even though I like fantasy more but seening as the ML did not fell directly for him make it more real, but I would appreciate it more if the ML was the one perusing the MC , the MC felt very pitiful being the only one making the effort alone as if in one man show.

I liked that ML respected the life choices of the MC and did not treat him like a canary.

Finally, even if the ML character may look attractive in novels, in reality his coldness is unbearable, everyone is human, sometimes you are too tired to explain every thing. I mean if the ML so dence about emotions, can't he watch a drama and learn a few things like normal communication not fighting of course (totally off limit) <<less

The novel started off good but the middle and end weren't the best. When that Donald guy came in, the plot lost me lol. Still, I was interested in the novel and was able to read to the end.

I would have liked it if the extras focused on the MLs perspective in their previous life. Maybe his perspective of how things happened were different.
