He Bai won the lottery, became rich, and reached the pinnacle of life. Then, he inadvertently took a picture of the Film Emperor Di Qiuhe being killed. And after reporting this case to the police, he was reborn in a midst of confusion.

He Bai: I don’t have any horrible relatives to abuse. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I do.

He Bai: I also haven’t been betrayed or harmed by anyone. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I have.

He Bai: I just want to have some money to live freely and eat well. I already achieved that goal, so why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: I have money, but don’t live freely or well.

He Bai angrily flips the table: So what’s the use of my rebirth! Just to make me suffer again?!

Di Qiuhe (Holding and Touching He Bai): Be my lover, you’re only responsible for eating “lollipops,” you won’t eat any bitterness.

He Bai: Leave!

The story itself is nothing particularly special, but rather fun, making for a good light read. The translation, however, is extremely rough. While you can tell what's happening in the large part, it's rather painful to read and sorely in need of an editor. While the rate of update somewhat makes up for the poor quality, it still makes an average story painful to get through so take heed if you decide to pick this one up.

The dimple on the left cheek might as well be its own character. Man is it mentioned a lot.

Plot + Relationship:

20 something chapters in and I was yawning, trying to keep myself awake and my irritation in. The way the main characters treated each other was annoying as hell let alone the slow pacing plot. Bai and Qiuhe had some sort of "hate" to love sort of thing going on but the execution wasn't the best. (It wasn't really hate I suppose. Mostly on Bai's side). Their interactions were childish... more>> as well as dragging on and on. There wasn't anything new whenever they met. It was the same old same old. I know I got >200 chapters in but at this point it's just to finish what I've started. The main couple could be better if I actually liked their chemistry together. I don't know if I'm dropping it yet but that's for the future. This novel could've definitely been 100 pages shorter in my opinion.

Translation:

I read somewhere that the translators cut the chapters shorter. Maybe it was for more time translating and more chapter dumps but it probably contributed to how slow the novel felt. I've read the author's other book, Death Progress Bar, and that one had super long chapters so I can see the difference in this novel. The translation is really not the best. Names are mixed up, grammar is messed up, but hey, you get what you get. <<less

No hate to Flying Lines, but this novel really needs either a proofreader or a proper translation. Please don't let this stop you from reading the novel by the way, the mtl is decently readable, it could just be better.

The Main Issues

    • Wrong usage of names, at random points you get things like "He Bai looked at He Bai"
    • Fairly regular typos and grammar mistakes
    • Odd word choices and phrasing ("Hi lawyers" did put me in hysterics tho)
    • Unneccessary chapter breaks, often breaks the build up and flow of the story, and makes things feel like it's taking far more time then it actually is
    • Due to being mtl, the story suffers from being curt and having a 'mtl voice'
Translation complaints done

TLDR; the main draw is character interactions which are all really well written, a surprisingly realistic. Plot is kinda there and is mostly interesting as a background of characters a lot of thing kind of happen without any real buildup or setting up, things just get revealed and then the plot progresses, the tone is kept lightedhearted due to the fact that the protag doesn't have much of a reason to be rebirthed, man was just minding his business and was like well I mean this is fine. Faceslapping takes ages to get to due to chapter structuring

Plot does have interesting points to it, it kinda flows externally from the novel, due to the fact that the key conflict has basically nothing to do with the mc

I think my key issues would probs be with the side characters, they mostly just randomly show up when narratively necessary, also there have been maybe 2 female characters who aren't either cheaters, easily manipulated or villains. When one disappeared the other reappeared, the narrative seemingly incapable of having more than one decent woman in frame at any given time

It's really upsetting because despite the little amount of time they had, I really like the female characters. the author def seems to have a preference for the domineering and cool older woman tho

Spoiler

I liked Di Chunhua the most as a villain, she's pretty pitiful and messed up

[collapse]

It feels like the side charas dont get a lot of personal development, and are mostly just there to drive the main pairs relationship. Niu Junjie is really the only side character with any personal issues not relative to the the main pair, and because of the chapter structuring it takes 100 chapters to get to a development on that, when it should be maybe 30-40, so it feel like it drags on longer than it does

MC- He Bai

Spoiler

His character is a bit confusing for me, however I did appreciate that the people around him initially noticed that HB had changed and seemed more mature and level headed, not just because his photography skills had improved. He also isn't immediately a god at photography because of his rebirth, HB primarily focussed on landscapes and scenery which he excells at, so he does struggle with things that he didn't really deal with in his first life, like portraiture. He learns in a rolling ball motion, katamari style, picking stuff up and slotting them in and then using that to build himself up to something else

(Tbh, as an actual photographer myself, I was having to suspend disbelief quite a bit at how quick he adjusted to photography he had never dealt with before, but honestly a good portion of the info in here is actually solid and the author has a pretty good understanding of photography imo)

His knowledge of the future isn't really much of a golden finger in a fairly realistic way, he doesn't actually have much of a leg up on others due to the fairly realistic fact that it's been almost a decade since any of these events happened, and he was fairly isolated in general. Pretty much everything he knows is really only in regards to things that directly happened around him or were too big to ignore

Personality is, man idk but I love him?? Cute guy with a foul mouth. Sometimes he acts in a way which is clearly conniving and smart, but then the narrative will write it as him having no clue what he's doing? I'm chalking it up to an issue with the translation tbh

I actually really like him, not a pushover, can clearly read people well and manipulate situations, smart and passionate about photography, adaptable and antisocial, a bit childish but it felt like a 20 yr old guys childishness if that makes sense? Adults can be ridiculous as well. And he isn't just the mls guiding star, HB's's a good character in his own right and feels like just a Guy honestly, and I say that with so much love

[collapse]

ML- Di Quihe

Spoiler

Contentious guy huh? But that's fair. Honestly, he takes getting used to, definitely a unique ML in all respects. The way he is is bizarre frankly, definitely a product of his family situation and upbringing. Incapable of shutting up when ahead, so continually just pits himself for no reason and you want to smack him around a little. Has a lot of neurosis and issues that clearly impacted him and how he responds and acts around other people

The best part about DQH is that he isn't absolved when he does something wrong, he's given an opportunity to improve and grow from his actions, and he also makes a genuine apology in which he doesn't try and excuse himself. I really enjoyed that he was assisted in doing and being better, and that he took it very seriously

Surprisingly innocent and cute, actually gets run about by HB a lot, even before DQH realises he's in love with him. Would often walk into a conversation clearly expecting to have a one up on him, and then get quickly henpecked into submission and is confused to be there (but delighted later on)

[collapse]

Relationship

Spoiler

A lot of banter and tension (mostly from DQH playing a one man yearning band), I enjoy that both adjust for the other and change behaviour (HB is asked by the DQH's friend that if DQH does something wrong to not just block him, but to talk to him instead, because it messes with DQH badly. HB accepts and doesn't do) DQH is clearly somebody who is doing his best to learn because he wants to be in HB's life, so he's trying to fix his own messed up situation as best as possible and trying to be a bit more stable and normal overall

Also whenever DQH tries to be manipulative... HB knows, he is aware, he let's DQH get away with it cause it's usually harmless, but HB is easily able to flip the situation on the poor ML

[collapse]

This review is incoherrant, give the novel a go, and let's all hope a good translator picks it up or somebody proofreads cause it is so deserving of a decent translator

First and foremost, I've gotta admit that the storyline does seem pretty interesting.

Regardless of how intrigued I was, the translations had turned me off far too much for me to finish this novel. There were too many areas that weren't properly translated. All in all, they were simply too painful to read that I had to give up reading this novel. I mean, I had to bite the bullet and push through the chapters, but chapter 56 was as far as I could go.

Sure, it may be for some peeps... more>> out there but all I can say is that it's definitely not for me. <<less

It's either an uwu or rage-quit novel for you.

I'm taking a neutral stance because I love the MC, the focus of photography, and I want to protect this precious 'pup'arazzi but I want to beat up the ML until he's black and blue.

His shitty attitude is not okay when the other party is a poor scholarship orphan who is living on tight budget (for f*ck's sake he was working a few weeks before he could let go and eats duck's meat *cries*) who is also borrowing an expensive camera, and... more>> is forced to treat the ML because he's a decent guy who'd treat an almost total stranger just because the ML said that it's his birthday.

I'm not making a fuss about how much money was spent, but I'm making a fuss about his

Spoiler

very deliberate and purposeful mention of wanting to die tho... That's borderline emotional manipulation

[collapse]

I have a feeling that the ML might be more extreme the farther I read, so I'd drop this novel at chapter 16.

Might read on for the MC and the interesting take on photography. <<less

The Web Translation might shows 200+ chapters, but this novel is truly only has 113 chapters but was cut because some chapters are longer, so it's not going to take long to finish this novel!

I didnot even get bored in any chapter! Not even once! This novel is that Fun and that Good, okay!

The MC is Great Character, but what this novel more unique is actually the ML's personality! The ML is a Tease, Sometimes Childish, definitely cunning toward his As*hole Family but acted like good son at the beginning.... more>> Calling MC "Puppy" but is actually the Puppy in relationship! Lol ❤️ Clingy, Doting, Absolutely Devoted. Absolutely Funny Great Amazing ML!
Spoiler

Especially when he started to fall for MC but didn't know that he's in love and he thought he was sick and believed his best friend about keep drinking cold water if he feel 'weird' around MC. LOL 😂

[collapse]

All side supporting characters that isn't the Bad Guy is definitely Great Supportive Characters!!!

The Face Slapping might not be as Spectacular as Reborn of a Supermodel, but it's still one of the big plot and still as Great and Satisfying! Definitely Satisfying! Any moments with their Friends and their (True) Family is Absolutely Great!
Spoiler

Especially when MC and ML visited the MC's parents' graves. The most Epic Funny Gold Moments EVER!!! Sadly it only has two scenes. #Sad

Initially, the MC-ML interactions were funny, and the family drama behind ML was intriguing, and the path to success for MC was interesting. And then slowly, things started to be dragged, especially, the MC-ML scenes... ML is way too overbearing, not thinking of MC's comfort. MC cries but is still carried away in ML's schemes...

All in all, a decent story, could have been better...

I first read this when it was marked as Complete last 2020. I hadn't rated it but seeing it come up again as updated made me check. This isn't a perfect novel but it came at such a perfect time for me. The translations are a little better than MTL.

Decided to reread again and still found it quite enjoyable. I hope it gets better translations because I will definitely reread it a third time.

I don't understand why anyone would rate down this story at all. For me, this story definitely deserves 5 stars!

Yes, it's a light story, and the characters are not overly dramatic or complicated, yet the story isn't boring at all! The character settings are great, and they are consistent throughout the whole story. The story progression is smooth and satisfying af. The couple is also very lovely together, with barely any drama, while it still contains a decent amounts of conflicts (about ML's family) to keep the story interesting. I... more>> really love it!

I appreciate MC personality a lot as well, and I love how there's no s*upid quarrel or misunderstanding between the protagonists like many other stories with 100+ chapters. What a lovely story! I wish the story has a higher rating. ❤️ <<less

Review at ch 269 - 30/10/2021

ALRIGHT! This novel gives a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT vibe in MTL than the translation. I'm glad I picked it up again.

The ML is an As*hole in the beginning and he annoyed the sh1t out of me. But I'm glad I stuck with this, because now I'm stuffed with dog-food every chapter. 😋 I'm happy with the growth we see in the ML. From an annoying prankster, he becomes a caring boyfriend. There's an incident where

... more>>
Spoiler

The MC loses the last thing left by his parents - a phone that jas their texts - becuase of one the ML'S pranks. Although the ML didn't mean to do so, he felt genuinely guilty for the first time and we see a change in his attitude from this time. He also starts realizing his feelings little by little.

[collapse]

The romance took some time to develop. And the streching of the story can be painful at times. There are a lot of positives in their relation though. They're not always joined at the hip. They have their own careers to focus on and they give importance to that despite the ML'S clingy nature. Even the reason for that clinginess has been explained to us. Another good point is that the ML was very respectful towards MC's wishes when it came to intimacy. I know that it's not a special ability, but I'm tired of always seeing MLs forcing their libido onto the MCs. Moreover, the progression in their relationship was comparatively natural, especially after the MC figured out his feelings.

What I do find excessive is the diabetes inducing sweetness in the later half of the novel. But I can't stop reading, I NEED the SUGAR! 🤤

TL;DR: overall good. Doggy ML x cat-like MC 😜 too much dogfood!

Review at ch 35 (MTL)

I've read the 8 translated chapters and MTLed through ch 35. This is a good read honestly. The relationship building is done quite well. There's no "love at first sight" bullshit, though the ML does feel something special for the MC since the beginning but it's not necessarily love. It takes quite a long time for him to understand his own feelings.
Spoiler

As for the MC, upto ch 35 where I've left it in the MTL, he is still quite clueless about his emotions. The ML has a sudden epiphany though, after a certain type of dream he has regarding the MC... cough... smexy dreams... cough...

[collapse]

The MC and ML are also interesting because they're not the so called OP protagonists. (Although the ML is quite powerful and strategic, the MC is basically depending on his previous decade-long experience and talent. He's still not too OP though.) The side characters are interesting but I wish some characters were explored more since they have a lot of potential. Maybe it happens later on in the novel, so treat my view with a pinch of salt.

I could've written this after I was done with the whole novel but I REALLY wanted to rate this and give a review. I'm also starting to lose my patience with the MTL. So, I'm desperately hoping for the translator to start translating again. Or I hope someone else picks it up. Anyways, will give you updates if I can finish the MTL. <<less

It's really good! The story itself is quite unique because of the photography theme. It's interesting!

These should be major spoiler?

Spoiler

The story focused on two things : MC ML relationship, and ML's life. But it's relies more at ML's life which is full of revenge. MC 'trip' to the past basically is to help ML. Either to help his career or help his private life. At the end of the story, MC often go back and forth to the present and past. It's quite confusing with mtl, but I know that either ML from the past or present will have a good closure.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Yeah, the present ML maybe won't die. He dreams that he met MC, but he doesn't remember it when he woke up. But he still feels a special feeling when he meet MC later. Those timeline is before he died. So it's a possibility he won't die. The story finished after that though. But it's still a relief.

[collapse]

That's enough spoiler right?? You can read it yourself~ Oh, I rate this 4 because the revenge is too complicated and it drag too long. But I don't really mind it. <<less

It has a unique plot. Not so many chapters, but because translator divided chapters in parts so it may feel quite long, you might get bore, you can take your time but nonetheless finish it first.|~_~|

Interaction between MC & ML at first was funny in one sense, but if I were to experience same as MC I would definitely avoid the other person as much as possible. But as MC had connection with ML in one way or another he couldn't avoid. MC also felt some sort of responsibility to... more>> save ML. Their coordination was excellent. MC truly was a lucky star for ML. When they confirm their Love for each other things become cute and warm in their relationship.

I liked the extras, especially the one where MC met the ML (the one before reincarnation). I wished there were some after story about them of another world when ML run from the restaurant with MC.|*^*|

Face slapping was extreme, what they did they got back in hundred times. Hahaha!!

Overall the novel was worth in giving a try. இ﹏இ <<less
