The Foolish Gong was Reborn

Description

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

Outsiders all say that Xie Zhongxing had hit the jackpot marrying the prince of the Qin Enterprise, Qin Zhongyue, even being treasured and favoured for five whole years. They were well-recognized as a loving couple.

However, they didn’t know that Qin Zhongyue had a lot of dissatisfaction with this marriage. He complained to his good friend, “He micromanages everything. Won’t let me drink or smoke, won’t let me go clubbing, and he even set me a 10pm curfew!”

“I have to hand over all my salary and bank cards and he would only give me a hundred yuan a day! Only if he is in a good mood, he would give me a few hundred more!”

Qin Zhongyue felt angry and wronged, “And I even have to wait on him!”

“If I ever get the chance to do this again, I will never marry him! I used to get eight million yuan a month as spending money!” The prince said this to his friend.

The day after he said this, Qin Zhongyue found himself reborn to the time when he was seventeen.

The Xie Zhongxing at this time was eighteen years old and poor to the point where he only had one set of old clothes to wear, holes in his socks and a pair of dirty shoes with its soles peeling off. Even if he had a nice-looking face, he was despised and looked down upon, and known in the school as a pauper.

When Xie Zhongxing’s parents came to handle the withdrawal procedures for him, Qin Zhongyue only then found out that he was a study tyrant ranked first in his grade, receiving scholarships every year, and that he was a seedling with good prospects the school had high expectations for and not the ‘useless high school dropout who didn’t like to study and only has money in his eyes’ as claimed by his younger brother.

Qin Zhongyue couldn’t bear the sight of this. He pulled Xie Zhongxing into his arms, angry, “Continue studying! Our Qin family has never had a top scorer before, you must keep studying!”

Xie Zhongxing raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion. The look in his eyes seemed to ask: Who are you?

Qin Zhongyue thought of Xie Zhongxing’s dictatorship after their marriage and shuddered. He then maintained a look of righteousness, “I am just a kind-hearted person who does not wish to reveal his name!”

Later, Qin Zhongyue asked Xie Zhongxing shyly, “If we get married, can you give me a thousand yuan a day as spending money?”

Xie Zhongxing, “?”

Qin Zhongyue, “…..Five hundred is also okay.”

NB: The actual title is literally “The Sand Sculpture Gong was Reborn”. Sand sculpture (沙雕) is a homonym for 傻屌 (Sha Diao) which is a derogatory term for an idiot/a fool. Sand sculpture is often used with a more humourous/joking intention to describe something or someone as silly or foolish.

This is SOO BEAUTIFUL ┻━┻︵└ (՞▽՞ └)

I was filled with dog food, I like dog food (๑¯◡¯๑)

I don't know about others, but I think that both gong and shou have the same amount of protagonism.

... more>> MC gong was so PRECIOUS. Really, I haven't read a book with a gong like him yet. So I love him a lot. (~ ̄³ ̄) ~

MC shou was like a little cat. Though.... we have to protect gong from him hahahaha xD

MC gong was so head over heels an already idiot even more idiot in love hahaha.

And let's not forget the dad, he's driven mad by his son most of the time hahahaha ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

I can't find the chapter after ch120 so I'm missing some extras but with way, this one you have to read it all in one go! GO GO GO!

I love this so fckng much! <<less

The story is really cute and fluffy. I could relate to the Gong a little bit since I was like him till few years ago... Can't believe I was actually that foolish...

Anyway, if you want a fluffy and sickly sweet story, this is for you. I promise that every chapter would makes you smile unconsciously.

10/10 recommended :D

err foolishly cute *coughs*

I can't help but cry-laugh as I think about this novel. I would definitely recommend it but proceed at your own caution.

pros:

PLOT:

  • It was written quite good, in a way, it kinda felt like a modern (not angsty) erha because ML (xie zhongxing) is EXACTLY like Chu wanning haha. It was fun overall, very lighthearted, a good read when bored or traumatised.
CHARACTERS:

  • It baffles me how utterly foolish someone could be (it's in the title!) but it's funny and cute.. hehe
  • ML is pretty okay, I quite like him but I can't help but feel exasperated in some bits, BUT HE IS CUTE. Wouldn't say he's badass or anything though.
  • In that regard, the dad ahhh!!!! he's the coolest god he's so badass. #loveqinxingqian
ROMANCE:

  • The MC loooves ML. He's smitten. It's pretty cute, I did get the occasional butterflies early on but as it went on I felt like it was a bit dragged out.
  • As for the past life..
cons:

  • I'll put aside the foolish MC with no growth aside for now because seriously without Shi Hanyu... I'm concerned. As for ML, especially in the past life I felt a lot of actions were just there for plot convenience because are you serious!? ML is clearly highly intelligent with a high EQ, following this character setting none of the misunderstandings in the past life should've happened. but oh well!~
Entertaining book, especially at the start where MCs foolishness was pretty fun but it did get a bit boring at the end. But it's perhaps because it wasn't 'realistic' enough for me. Which is my issue haha.

Overall rating : 3.5/5 personal rating: 2/5

What a story!

It was so so sweet, and there was enough substance that the romance felt so real my heart ached.

The only thing I wished was that we could have gotten more chapters with them from the future.

Excelent story, writing is ok, characters aren't bad, dog blood doesn't get out of hand, sweet and happy, mostly.

My only regret is that the extras didn't solve their initial problems in their past life besides showing XZX's POV. The MC gong is such a cutie, that I also would struggle with that mouth of his, so I'm happpy they are a happy couple. The main story is solid, even if I say I wanted more it's not necesary

Omg I love the QZ. It was interesting reading about a Gong MC but I truly loved his whole personality. He was so sweet to everyone he cared for and in his 2nd life he understood even better that some people will take advantage of your kindness so you have to set boundaries.
Spoiler

I know XZ and QZ's father didn't like his mouth, but I found it really endearing. He never had ill intentions and was always trying to do what he thought they wanted to hear, which in his eyes was just the truth. Sure he could have said some things nicer but that's what made him both sweet and funny. Especially him telling his father he will go bald! Or him telling XZ about the ring. It may have ruined the moment a little but both times came from a place of love and what he thought they would want to know.

[collapse]

XZ was adorable too, I felt really bad for his past life though. He really had it hard but he never gave up.
Spoiler

I do agree with another comment about not liking how he got the QZ drunk to find out the truth though. QZ really didn't want to get drunk and even though it was needed to find the truth I wish he had maybe tried to talk to QZ first instead. But that's one of my only complaints.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I know some didn't like how XZ's mom treated her other son but I do understand. She never showed her love and at the same time he was basically a child born from r***. She didn't want him or the marriage. It just happened. Sure that may have influenced him into being more like his father but everyone in that family treated her like garbage, him included. I feel like if he had tried to be there for his mother while he was growing up she would have probably loved him. But none of them cared about her until it was going to benefit them. I'm glad she got her happy ending the 2nd time.

[collapse]

That reminds me
Spoiler

I'm happy Zhong Yiming got his happy ending. What his mother did was horrible and the fact that our MC was able to help him tell off his mother made me so happy. The mother really needed help. It's sad to think the in the 1st life he died without knowing his father was going to support him no matter what. It breaks my heart that the mother let her son die while his father probably was distraught knowing his ex caused this and he never got to tell him everything will be ok.

[collapse]

Spoiler

some real MVPs in both lives though were Teacher Wang and our MC's father. QX really loved his son and even though all he did was use his money, he knew that he raised him to be as kindhearted as can be. He didn't try to put pressure on him yet he also was so proud when he got into a top university. He loved him so much and didnt let his family fully walk all over him. He cared for them but knew that he was the one with the power and that they should know better than to disagree with the hand that is helping you.

And Teacher Wang T_T I want to cry she was the best in both lives. She truly cared for ML. She didn't want him to have to live at that horrible place and even tried to contact him later in the 1st life. If it wasn't for her who knows what would have happened to XZ. She truly was like his real mother, always looking out for him. I love her so much.

[collapse]

Overall it was a great novel, really funny And adorable. 10 out of 10 would recommend

The plot is not coherent at all. The characters are also somewhat flat. I really tried to go past chapter 40, but even after peaking at the extras, I dis not find the strength to continue reading. Simple, messy and boring. 3 stars for the idea, but it's implementation is really tragic.

This rivals my all-time favorite comedy danmei novel, as this MC is so f*cking good! I don't know how he does it, but he really is born to be foolish!

It's your typical MC goes back in time to save ML at an earlier date, but this time, MC didn't even wanted to but unknowingly fall in love again with his beloved wifey.

I might have some irks, as MC is really f*cking foolish to keep going back to the past, but really, its in the title. With that, do I still... more>> have to ask why the foolish gong is foolish? <<less

Seme gongs are starting to grow on me and this is one of the best ones! This is a cute, romantic and relatively brain free read.

Gong has zero brain cells, arrogant, but sweet only to shou. Shou is cold, nonchalant, but also sweet only to gong.

How MC changed ML's life for the better is so painfully sweet to read. I really like these kind of novels, what's even better is that their OG self is living so good too! MC in both life is sweet, loyal and kind, anybody would... more>> fam for him and ML's coldness and dedication is a delightful balance to the story.

Might I add that I love love mc's father on how he treats ML with no reservation and judgement. Really a goodv read 10/10! <<less

Somehow I'm surprised I didn't rate it the first time. Anways.

The story is so good. So sweet and fluffy. Not much angst is there. ... more>>
Spoiler

I just don't like either of the MC's mom's. MC's mom is too indifferent. Like your son did so good ij his exams and not a phone call? I get being absorbed in research but seriously?

Also ML's mom... it's complicated but I dunno, I hated the way she just ditched the second son. I get that he was a result of her trauma. I understand her. But I still found her kinda icky

[collapse]

Spoiler

Their relationship is very good. MC is s*upid and dumb tbh. He's an adult mentally and yet no differnt froma 10 year old.

[collapse]

My favourite character was

Spoiler

MC's Dad. He's the MVP. He reminds me a bit of the dad in my underachieving seatmate doesn't require any comforting. This Dad is the GOAT. The way he defended his son. Love him. I do wish he hadn't spoilt his son thaat much.

Easy and funny read especially after reading an angsty or plot heavy novel. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much because I just wanted to read something fluffy and light hearted but I was surprised when it turned out pretty decent. Especially the MC Qin Zhongyue because he made me laugh like crazy. To put it in a better way, I have never read about such an unique protagonist. He brain is definitely wired differently from the majority hhahahahah. But to put it in a bad way, he probably... more>> is lacking a little in terms of his EQ :")

BUTBUT the best part is that Qin Zhongyue really loves his wifey Xie Zhongxing. I love how he remained loyal and loving no matter what his friends say and how strict XZX treated him (there's a reason for it so read the extras to know more).
Spoiler

but rest assure that XZX really did love QZY in their past life, he was just a little too insecure and scared

[collapse]

There are many funny moments and conversations throughout the novel.

Spoiler

With 'I do not have any of those desires' written on his face, Xie Zhongxing said, "No, I won't. I don't want your s*upid virg*n body. I don't deserve it."

Qin Zhongyue, "?"

Qin Zhongyue insisted seriously, "You can't say that about yourself, you should be more confident. You are the only one in this world who deserves my virg*n body. Only you can defile me!"

[collapse]

Spoiler

Xie Zhongxing glanced at him, "Let's get up."

After a pause, a slender hand reached out in front of Qin Zhongyue. It was holding three notes.

Qin Zhongyue paused. When he looked over at Xie Zhongxing, Xie Zhongxing smiled back, "Three hundred a night. The discounted price for a Tsinghua duck."

Qin Zhongyue, "......"

This was cute, and the "gong" is a sweetheart. Absolutely cracked me up. Became a bit redundant and tropey towards the end, but it was light hearted and entertaining. The extras helped to bring the story full-circle.

Might be a brainless novel but it’s really nice and cute. ML and MC complement each other so well. There was zero boring parts so I didn’t stop halfway. This was in my other list, “Gonna read when tl is finished”, before but now I welcome it to “I can’t believe I finished it.

Thank you translator as well for the amazing translation. It felt like you were able tell their story the same way the author did.

It doesn't feel good that I finished it... I want more. It's such a cute novel about a gong liking his wife so much even in his next life. You always have to remind yourself of the title of the book though– Qin Zhongyue (MC) is indeed very foolish, but absolutely kind at heart. They both definitely complement one another. It's a sweet read that you wouldn't realize that you are done with. The author ended it nicely without dragging it out. I would've loved an extra chapter or two... more>> about the past life though... But I guess that's how it's really supposed to be. Nonetheless, it's a pretty entertaining novel. <<less

By the time I finished the main text I felt so conflicted that I didn't know whether I should cry or laugh in joy.

It was, great. MC and ML really complement each other. It was really touching that I was disappointed there's no more chapters.

I was sad it ended but also happy for MC and ML. Now I feel like crying again so I'll end my review here but really, try read it.

The title really describes the gong to a T. I have mix feeling about this novel, I like it but there's some parts that annoys me a lot.

The MC, the gong is so naive and gullible. At first I was like, how come he's acting like that when he's already 27?!?!? I mean, I'd understand if he's really just 17. I find him quite annoying most of the time, but I was already forewarned by the title, so I tried my best to repeat that in my head. Lol. Anyway,... more>> after reading the extras I actually understand now that he's like that even when he's already 27, so childish and still naive. The ML's character is waaaay better.

Unpopular opinion about Qi Yaoming x Song Hui, the mother-son duo!
Spoiler

I hate ML's mom, she loves XZ's dad, so she loves XZ while hate QY's dad, so she hates QY and assume (wait not even assume!) but her mind was already made up that the child will definitely grow up to be like his dad- a beast! Well duh! You could've at least tried to raise your 2nd child as a loving and gentle young man, but of course you chose not to. QY was surrounded by twisted people who doesn't care, respect and love him, so more likely without guidance, warmth and love from his family, he'll grow up like that. She has all the opportunity to raise an ally but she let QY grow crooked! Tsk tsk! Pity he was forced to be a villain when in fact he's a victim too by his irresponsible parents- yup, that includes the MOM! ლಠ益ಠ) ლ

[collapse]

I love the MC's dad, very funny and supportive of his son. MC's mom is also no show, just a deco in the story!

Anyway, I really can't recommend this novel and will not read this again but of course, you may want to try a few chapters and then decide. <<less

I was genuinely surprised by this novel.

Some people might have complained about the clueless MC but I LOVED it!

A foolish, innocent, childish MC with all the wealth and power in the world, and a tough, highly intelligent, capable ML from a poor background completed flipped the standard personality tropes. It's a fantastic read with a very unique and memorable couple.

... more>>
Spoiler

Actually what frustrated me more was maybe how everyone in the story looked down on the MC for being foolish. Why can't people be a little foolish or not be very good at speaking? It's not like he harmed anyone by being so? Why do CN people care so much about their self-image?

[collapse]

Super enjoyed it, and the romance was done very well. I loved how exasperated the ML would get towards the MC's antics and the clueless MC who didn't just magically know how to be romantic or woo his partner was very down-to-earth. It made the two couple feel more "real" than the usual "hyper-romantic couples-have-magical-telepathy" in these type of novels. I usually don't like school-life genre that much because it can get very juvenile and petty, but the author did a good job crafting this one.

Translation was absolutely fantastic. Really good job. Thank you translator! <<less

It was one of the the sweetest and most comforting novel I have ever read. I loved ML's foolishness and silly talked and how MC tolerated and loved him a lot. Overall 5 star. There isn't too many complicated plot points. There is some satisfying face-slapping and dog blood.
