Description

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

In his previous life, Chi Fang was taken care of by his family and grew up. When the Chi family fell and his parents and brothers were not there, Chi Fang propped up the Chi family alone. Relying on several projects of Yuchi Group, Chi Fang barely kept the Chi family.

However, he did not hold on. After rebirth, Chi Fang returned to high school. This time, he decided to study hard, protect his family, and reach the pinnacle of life.

However, he never expected that the future owner of Yuchi Group would be his high school classmate? But– isn’t this big guy too cold? No seatmate, no friends, alone, but it is an unpredictable school bully!

Chi Fang looked at the back of the boss, thinking of the previous projects to save himself, carefully probing out his paw and poking at the boss’ arm.

——Now, classmate, are we friends? o (^ 0 ^) o

Yu Mo has been clever since he was a child. He is a little taciturn, doesn’t like being touched, and never fears anything. However, he found himself inexplicably ‘afraid’ of Chi Fang in his class. Obviously, the man was soft and cute like a little white rabbit, but he cared inexplicably.

This is a really good story.

I saw someone say that the ML is like woodplank and fell in love at first sight of MC.

The 2nd one isn't true at all.

... more>> ML saw MC for first time in Junior high, was curious. Got to know him little by little and fell in love in senior high. Its not love at first sight at all.

And about ML being woodplank. Well its his charecter setting. And unlike other supposedly cold ML, this ML is truly cold type, he really can't explain himself. Other cold MLs change almost instantly after meeting MC. But Yu Mo didn't. MC even misunderstood him for that at first. And throughout the story his change is very slow although present (well it isn't easy to change). Its just MC's understanding of ML gets better.

Lol I thought after reading comments and main text of story I wouldn't be sad in the extras: past life ones. But damn I was wrong.

It was truly heartbreaking to see when ML was so happy to talk to his crush as potential partner and within a day he got his death news. Damn.

I loved the parallel universe one too. Author did a great job. <<less

Giving it 4 stars so that if you want to read a light romance novel then read it.

It's a good novel. Read if you wanna read a simple novel with nothing heavy in all aspects. Nothing complex at all.

◆Some clarifications:

•It should be Shounen Ai genre and not yaoi.

>There is nothing like yaoi genre. Not even a hot kiss. You can get the idea from following paragraph (taken from ~83rd chapter) :

... more>>
Spoiler

"Although they had been together for more than a year, because they had been busy studying, this was only the third time the two kissed."

They had s*x in that chapter I guess which you won't realize at all if you haven't read enough bl novels.

[collapse]

•It should have a tag of Slow Romance/Late Romane.

>Considering that the total length of the novel is 88 chapters and they confirm their feelings in chapter
Spoiler

68 which is like after 75% completion of the novel

[collapse]

◆NOW don't read my review if you are not up for criticism.◆

MC : Nice one. Cutie, extremely thin skin.

Now the ciritism of the MC :

He is said to be 27 years old. But you won't find him as such at all in the novel. He is totally portrayed as a teenager apart from preventing his family from disasters.

>I can't accept the fact that the ML who is only 17 at that time was shown more mature then the MC with 27 year old soul.

ML : He is an awkward cute puppy before he discovered his feelings for the MC. Then he is black bellied. And as usual in Chinese novels ML is portrayed as an all arounder amazing person.

Romance: Extremely light romance novel. Little bit of fluff. How MC studies and give exams is shown more than the romance. Don't expect anything heavy. And I mentioned already it's a shounen ai genre.

>Many readers said that the MC is not a dense one but I find him quite dense for 27 year old person. He seems quite oblivious to the things in a relationship.

>he main couple really loves each other.

Plot: Dont expect any heavy plot at all. Nothing new or good. Simple fluffy novel.

>I like the plot of their previous life better and more heart touching. Unfortunately they had BE in that

Comedy is good as well but only in initial chapters. Later there is no comedy.

Conclusion

I, myself, wouldn't have read the novel if could read my own review beforehand.

You can read it if you want to read a extremely simple, light, no complexities novel. <<less

I enjoyed reading the novel. This is sweet and fluffy story of high school student. MC is hardworking and ML has more eccentric personality. ML quite cold towards other but soft hearted towards MC. It was so cute 😍 there is face slapping action but most of the time is them giving the readers dog food hehe. MC' family and friend are also supportive especially the moms. 💘

It was a nice cute short read, the cliches and blood dog drama however knocked the story down to a 3 star. Pros:

    • Sweet, caring, attentive and protective ML
    • MC is a little white lotus, can protect himself and is independent but hides mostly under his friendly harmless facade so thankfully not too much of those -save the damsel in distress- moments
    • proper and steady character growth for MC
    • healthy love relationship
    • comedic peaceful slice of life vibes
    • will start right off the bat being entangled with ML
    • MC tried at best to maintain a friendly relation and avoiding feuds with ML without kissing up to him too much or deceive his intimate feelings for own personal gains
Cons:

    • side characters are background characters, mostly one dimensional except for the protagonists' mothers, but cannon fodders are brainlessly cannon foddering, inexplicable reasons for extreme methods to harm and deal with protagonists
      Spoiler

      Mainly wondering why the main culprit would go to such extremes to harm MC and his family. For a slice of life, aside from random bs unexplained rebirth, laws and morals all very grounded close to real life. Massacring an entire family is blood dog overkill. Everything regarding the villain is blood dog drama overkill.

      [collapse]
    • messed up story line, OG plot had MC going into a car accident where he ends up with extreme burn scars, PTSD and wounds and 2nd life the car accident is set up awfully early
      Spoiler

      ML would've taken revenge for MC if it had occurred during the time frame when he was still attending the same school as MC, but it was on the sophomore year that ML decided to study abroad, come back and silently pursue MC after his accident. He cared a lot for MC already at the point (also unexplained and unreasonably because MC wasn't interacting with ML a lot at all and hardly knew of his existence back during school days). But the accident took place in the 2nd half of their junior year and the circumstances would definitely change with ML around, pre-studying abroad.

      [collapse]
    • overkill in MC's embarrassment during lovey-dovey times with ML
    • overly clear and unnecessary separation of 'gender roles' where MC follows the stereotype of being a timid but also temperamental, great cook, feminine featured 'waifu' + ML the taciturn, godly smarts, good at fights, but extremely pure in emotional matters 'overbearing CEO'

      could've been a straight couple novel and we wouldn't have seen a single change so what's the point of it being BL/danmei/shounen Ai, y'know?
    • the plot was there but lacks impact or meaning, a lacklustre, classic good guys vs bad guys plus minus happy endings, same old same old
    • mysophobia that's not really mysophobia, obsession with cleanliness comes closer but since it's barely an issue ML ever displayed it's as good as having none. Your general false implementation of mental illnesses that's just there for decoration and undermining the real issues, packaged to make it appealingly cute attribute of ML for audience or merely as a highlight as friction in the interactions of the main couple
    • passive story telling and short summaries when it comes to MC's trauma and past life, which makes it harder to empathize and understand this character
All in all, it's barely satisfactory. My negative points regarding the novel were generally based on what it quintessentially lacked so the story overall isn't a gear grinding read. Not a read I'd recommend nor tell people to avoid.

LOVE THIS STORY VERYYY MUCH!!!!!

The story is not too complex and pretty light for me. The revenge easily be done. Though there are some plot holes about the incidents, in my opinion, the plot line is still interesting and good.

I love the interaction between MC and ML so much! ... more>>
Spoiler

Besides, the parallel world (extra)... really soothe my anger towards Wang bastard hah! I am really grateful towards the author! If the main story about MC rebirth for revenge, then the parallel world is about ML rebirth for revenge. Though ML already revenged for MC before his rebirth. Another revenge is definitely not a problem! *blow cigarette*. Overall, I satisfied with the story! Very good to pass tome too! ❤️❤️

I f*cking love this novel, I didn't sleep until I finished reading this ahhhhh

The only thing that I don't like was the ML (adult) and the MC (adult) didn't met. Instead they met the others young self. Ahhh I wished the ML regained some memories from the mc's past life. 😭 Bruh
Spoiler

spoiler, I was shocked that ML kidnap the MC from his coffin and put him to some ice coffin and hid him in the mls villa then 1 year after getting revenge he hug the MC in the ice coffin and died from not eating and cold temperature, THAT'S WHY I DIDNT LIKE THAT THEY DIDN'T MET WHEN THEY REGRESSED!!

ONE OF THE BEST PLOTS in my opinion

The Novel was eazy breezy, no irritating drama and very simple. Backed with his knowledge from the future, Mc's restarted life will prevent disasters from happening to his family and himself.

I love the fact that ML did not unreasonably fell in love with MC and got their romance in a satisfied pace. I also ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE EXTRAS. Don't get me wrong, I love everything in this novel but the extras satisfied me too much! Of course one of the reason is because... more>> it's still very ✨ fresh in my memory ✨, but also because huhu,

Spoiler

parallel story was given to us by author-san where ML also got rebirth and had his happily ever after 😭. I think one of the reviews here spoiled the fact that they should have gotten together but MC died

[collapse]

Makes me feel like life is very worth living here 🌊.

WOULD DEFINITELY REREAD Again if first translation is better than before cuz it slightly gave me headaches and made me feel like it would be better with a more organized delivery? Like instead of using english "brother" when MC teases Ml, it would be better to use "Ge"? Cuz it has different feels to it. And the pronouns and stuff sighhh. BUT It's still readable thooo. I can easily understand it still. BTW, Thank you for giving us this wonderful novel!!!! ARIGATHANKU 😚 <<less

4.5/5! Oh gosh my heart melted, this novel is really cute and mostly light-hearted! I love the dynamics between the MC and ML. I also love how the MC wasn't totally oblivious to the ML's feelings for him. Besides the plot holes and some loose ends that were never explained, this novel is a good read if you're looking for mostly sweetness.

Now my only scruple with this novel is the last two extras which knocked off.5 stars for me.

... more>>
Spoiler

What kind of froze my melted heart again was that... the MC wasn't the only one reborn! Now, normally I would be happy that both the MC and original ML were reborn, but in this novel they weren't reborn together! The main story is told from the MC's point-of-view where he thinks he is reborn into the "past" (but is actually the past of a parallel universe). So from my understanding (after reading the last 2 extras), the story incorporates 3 parallel universes. The original MC and original ML both died tragically in Universe #1. The MC was reborn into Universe #2 where only he had memories of the future, and then likewise, the original ML was reborn into Universe #3 where only he had memories of the future! Which means that the two original pairs from the original world never actually got their happy ending together, but got their separate happy endings (with the original MC being with the ML of Universe #2, and the original ML being with the MC of Universe #3). Although I'm so happy that both the MC and the original ML got their happy endings, part of me feels dissapointed that their relationship wasn't meant to be and that they could only be happy with their other half from a parallel universe.

Such a good story I really enjoy reading it. I like the ML and the MC personalities so much. The feeling between them came so naturally. The most thing I like in this novel is the fast the ML personality didn't change magically after he got together with MC. He stayed cold but the MC understanding of his actions improved which is realistic.

I think this novel will be even better if they got back in time together.

I recommend this novel.

It has fluff, a lovable ML and the MC isn't dense about his feelings either. Both their families are accepting of their relationship too and you can really see how much ML loves MC

OH AND THEIR ISN'T ANY SMUT! JUST RIGHT BEOFRE IT HAPPENS AND AFTERWARDS IS ALL THATS WRITTEN!

ML first saw MC back in junior high and instantly was interestedin him but he didn't what he felt was love/like until they became friends

Spoiler

MC's second brother is also in a relationship with a guy too

[collapse]

I felt really bad for ML tho.

Spoiler

Their ending in their past life kinda made me cry a little. After ML finally got the balls to talk to MC and telling him he'sgonna persus him, MC dies that same night!! When ML found out, he went a little 'crazy' and stole MC's coffin (with his dead body inside it) and store it in a freeze. He ends end finding the person who killed MC and torturing him. If im not wrong, ML then starves himself, laid in the freezer with MC body and ends up dying

[collapse]

ML might come off as indifferent and cold but to me, he just doesn't like being around people. Just a loner type guy.

Spoiler

They get a cat together too and got their own apartment when they went to college. Everyone knew two hot guys were dating each other on the first day of college too lol.

It's a light-hearted slice-of-life rebirth novel; most of the story takes place in middle-high school, sadly.

(a bit boring, tbh)

I was looking forward to seeing the MC take over the business world or at least be older, but this is more of a childhood romance story, and the only challenge is MCstudying 24/7 and trying to raise his grades.

Unfortunately a bit too juvenile for me, but I'm sure lots of people would enjoy the fluff.

Translation is all right. Edited MTL for first half.

Well, it's cute but also not what I was expecting from a rebirth novel. It's a very slice of life school life novel. It doesn't have too much revenge and face slap which I was expecting. Hence I felt bored. Because I was in the mood for some revenge stories. However, the story itself doesn't have a lot of problems. I don't see any issues with ML have no EQ but being successful in business. He can just hire people for EQ related work. He's a genius and it's pretty... more>> obvious that he was born different. Probably on the spectrum. And I also liked how he perceived his attraction towards MC as fear lol. It was so funny! So I don't think it's a typical love at first sight. He's a serious person. The first person he was attracted to, it took him several years to understand that what he felt was 'like' in the first life. He can't understand emotions. In this life, if it wasn't for the MC's interaction, he wouldn't realize his feelings so soon. So the fact that he was devoted to this person later is not that hard to fathom as people like him tend to be very single minded and stubborn. Anyway, that is how I perceived things when I read this. However, I dropped a star because it ended in a very hurried manner. Some things were just messily patched up. <<less

When I saw that this is edited MTL (and it's edited MTL throughout, don't know why some reviewers say it's only the first half, the whole story is edited MTL and the translator is still using this method for their work. No shaming here just telling you how it is), I immediately lowered my expectations. And I think to fully enjoy this novel you need to do that too, to a certain extent.

The MC died at age 25 after being disfigured (but not half-paralyzed?????) in a terrible accident, suffered severe... more>> mood swings and the loss of his family, and turned out to be quite the smart businessman who managed to keep a sinking ship afloat. I'm not putting any of these under spoilers cause this is said in like the first 1-3 chapters. But from the way MC is characterised, you won't any of this. MC should be very mature, an adult who experienced unimaginable loneliness and pain, he should be jaded, calculative, guarded, and wrecked by the trauma of his accident and the loss of his family. And you know what? 90% of this traits belong to the characterisation of the teenaged non-reborn ML. Make it make sense. Why is one born a robot and the reborn one is a lovely cute oblivious white lotus? Because the tropes command that the MC be a lovely cute oblivious white lotus and the ML be a stoic cool genius. And this calls upon one of the two major downsides of this novel (the first being, imo, it being edited MTL) is that this story is very trope-y. By this I mean it contains a LOT of cliches. They are many and they are predominant, meaning they have priority over pesky things like, I don't know, logic or common sense. So prepare yourself to disconnect your intellect in some parts 'cause this author doesn't believe in internal consistency.

Spoiler

[Like, for those of us who read until the end, the lack of internal consistency sometimes it's so shallow you can brush it off casually but sometimes it's just... Like WHY author. Like, where the f*ck did the fathers go? Why you tell me the family members have gone out to eat for one evening and the next chapter a month has passed before they are back? And why is ML keeping MC's body encased in ice in the firstlife and dying staring at MC's face in the coffin? You made MC die in a f***ing explosion a couple of pages ago! That means all that remains is a charred mummy-looking pile of remains! What ice! That sh*t's not decomposing anymore, it's f***ing charcoal! And what "beautiful visage" is ML staring at into that coffin? The body's face should be looking like that screaming man painting by now! You wrote the words "bomb" and "explosion" one chapter ago author, get a hold of yourself!

And can we acknoledge how f***ing trope-y the MC's tragedies are in his first life? Car went flying off a cliff complete with fire? Scars and burns all over arms, torso, up to his neck? No problem, he's up and running in no time, just a couple of gloves will do. Like NO that sh*t implies therapy and most importantly extensive, long physical rehabilitation after the series of interventions in the hospital. And even if you tell me that, by an ultra-conservative estimate, MC got the accident at 20 y/o, 5 years before he's seen attenting galas on his own two feet no problem, then that's a substantial amount of time to just be, completely glossed over in his characterisation! exasperated sigh]

[collapse]

But wading through the sea of cliches there are some gems, such as the first kiss being described as "centimeters decreasing" and the super hilarious sneak-attack-style confession, and big hidden gem that is the core of the plot and that I won't name here cause spoilers. So I came out of this pleasantly surprised actually. This is actually a nice novel.

(To give you an idea of how much this novel can surprise you in terms of quality, towards the end, during that super angsty hyper-tragic scene, I actually thought this was better than Fake Slackers, which is one of the most popular slice-of-life fandom darlings and is being sold for IRL money.)

So there's a very interesting core concept behind this novel which is unfortunately bogged down by the absurd amount of cliches and by the edited MTL ("coming back to one's senses" is tled as "going back to God, " just to name the first literal tl coming to my mind, sh*t's hilarious).

So, yeah, read it and take it as a kind of journey. And I encourage you to embark upon this journey. Trudge through the bog to get to the little gold nuggets! It's quite the trip, but if you reach the end and catch sight of that elusive golden glint, you (likely) won't regret the time spent. <<less

3.5/5*

This is a naive and awkward high school romance.

Despite the promising synopsis, the actual narrative falls short, lacking the impactful face slap I hoped for.

... more>> It's so light on drama, with the male lead as a genius and the main character a pampered young master who behaves more like a sulky and confused teenager than a reborn 27-year-old who singlehandedly propped up a company on the verge of bankruptcy.

The main text ends when the characters are about to take their entrance exams, with their university and career lives briefly outlined in the extras.

To be honest, I expected the story to be more business-focused and revenge-driven, but the author barely touches on these topics. Instead, the protagonists spend most of their time studying and falling in love, and the revenge is vaguely handled by the brothers (it's more realistic this way, I guess, but it's so underwhelming ;-;).

While the latter half of the story picks up with some fun plot points, it's rushed to the finish, leaving loose ends and skipping over important details, like WL's motive and the Ma family matters, which is quite disappointing. <<less

Uhh.. for now I'm unsure. ML's interest seems too inexplicable, and I'm the type that doesn't like love at first sight.

Also, I hate how author is going so overboard with the wood-plank ML. Seriously, his EQ is 0, which doesn't make sense considering he'll become a crazy powerful businessman in the future / already is.

There's also other weird things for plot convenience. Like he's in a super rich powerful family, yet they can't find a normal decent tutor for him? Obviously this is building a setup for ML in the... more>> future to facilitate more interactions smh. So blatant.

I like MC's realistic approach in his relationship w ML (like he didn't purposefully get close or anything, if he's angry he won't hold back just because ML's gonna be powerful, etc) but he's still so useless. So far, the only knowledge he's taken advantage of is to stop the bidding of a piece of losing land. However, he could totally invest in stocks or encourage his family to look at popular projects! Instead, he just "tries his best" but studying hard.... studying is important, but it's not everything. There's soo many shortcuts he could take and he totally doesn't at all.

So far, kinda boring. <<less

Just decent school fluff. It's riddled with your typical cnovel family/business drama and face slapping, among other overused tropes.

MC is a kinda cute kid who is protective of his family and in no way acts like his 26 year old self, while ML is an extremely, extremely, to the point that he is probably on the spectrum, introverted and socially awkward guy.

There's a bunch of plot holes, and I think the author tried to reconcile them at the end but... it really didn't iron out the edges.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC appears not to know who "J" (ML) is in the beginning, but later he somehow remembers that he actually met "J" for dinner and that "J" wanted to pursue him before he died. He forgot how he died or something?

Then MC comes to the conclusion that ML in his world is rebirthed like him. Except he's not, and "J" rebirthed into a different world with the alt!MC who is not reborn at all.

Nice, sweet and soft typical of school children. ML loves MC in 3 lives (when MC dies, life is in the level and worlds are parallel). We can know how their life was in the past from the ML perspective. Suitable to read if you don't want a serious novel.

NO RATING (clicked the stars accidentally)

Abandoned: It's fine, it's just not Great. If I'd read this a few years ago I might've enjoyed it, but now I've read too many almost identical plots that are better.

Little things that I might've once overlooked as minor I'm more annoyed by because they're things I'm tired of and the writing - though fine enough - isn't good enough to get me through.

... more>> Some things I'm tired of:

- The good best friend who is always treated more flippantly by the main characters than he deserves.

- The ML who is cold and taciturn. It gets to the point where it doesn't feel like an interesting character trait to have him really struggle to communicate, it just feels like authors are competing to see who can write the least communicative, most rigid male lead. Separate from all the other novels like this, this ML might feel fresh and interesting, but to me he really just feels like a more extreme version of a type I'm tired of. I don't find these traits inherently attractive in a male lead, I find a male lead attractive if you write him in a way that is interesting and engaging regardless of his specific character traits.

- A male lead who is possessive and jealous. I know at this point in the story he's dense about a lot of things to do with his feelings and relationships with others and that his dislike of seeing the MC with his best friend is something he's supposed to understand better later on in the story. I just don't find it interesting or engaging to have to read about him wanting to separate them and just have the MC for himself. I wish authors wouldn't write this stuff in like it's yet another box they feel they have to tick off to create an ML-by-numbers. I've never enjoyed it, but it's especially boring when it comes up in MLs again and again.

Anyway, I'm not persisting with this story and it's not because it's too terrible to read or anything. I just don't particularly feel engaged enough to want to waste any more time on it. <<less

4.6/5

I seem to say this with almost all of the novels I've read this year but this is my favorite one so far and is almost on par with my favorite danmei novels of all time, even if it is much simpler in nature. I've been devouring danmei novels in this genre for the last few months, in the cuter meant to be together romance side of modern danmei. These novels aren't as complicated and full of scheming plans and I seem to really enjoy them, something that was reflected... more>> in this one as well.

Regarding the plot, it isn't ground breaking but I found the whole reincarnated with goals to help the family really interesting, since many rebirth novels where the characters already knew each other seem to be all about the romance, but here the protagonist had not considered the ML as a potential partner at all after rebirth, nor anyone for that matter, as his focus wasn't on relationships. He just happened to fall in love when least expecting to, and that love ended up being returned.

Chi Fang as a main character is very likeable and while I still think some of his characteristics feel a bit superficial, it's pretty easy to connect with him. He is also really smart, maybe not reflected by school grades in the beginning, but his effort creates results and he manages to fix things that in his previous life went wrong due to his smart way of thinking. Yu Mo is also a pretty nice ML, while he is more introverted and to an extent where he doesn't even give face to people who he doesn't consider important, he can also be really sweet and loving, showing concern for Chi Fang without even being aware of it.

I really like this couple, I feel like in every possible universe Chi Fang and Yu Mo would find a way to each other.

The writing is not bad, the story is well driven and most ideas have a conclusion. I wish the novel's conclusion was less abrupt, I feel like we only got to see a glimpse of an happy ending before the author showed us bits of their past life or the parallel universe thing (which was appreciated, I just got a bit sad : (). The extras are okay but I do wish we got a better conclusion for the actual novel. I also wish we got a bit more of Chi Zheng and Xu Guang - they're perfect model boyfriends okay. The novel's translation is mostly edited mtl so keep that in mind when reading, it won't be perfect, it won't make sense at times, but it's better than having to mtl it yourself and it's worth it. The 2nd half of the translation is actually better than the 1st one.

I was intrigued enough by this novel to keep reading it until 3-4 am every night for 4 days so yeah, it's good at catching attention.

Overall, I really enjoyed this novel. I hope more people give it a chance, I might even re-read it in the near future. <<less

I don’t think there is a world where Yu Mo and Chi Fang wouldn’t fall in love with each other.

Yu Mo was my favorite because like some other reviewers said he was consistently “cold” throughout and that didn’t change because he met Chi Fang. Instead, he had to find awkward ways to express his feelings such as always having motion sickness medicine or insisting Fang takes naps/eats breakfast. He always remains straightforward and stoic but Fang begins to understand that he “has no bottom line for Fang”.

It was also nice... more>> how realistic Fang was about correcting the past lifetime. He didn’t try to take down the bad guys all at once and in fact, until very late in the story he can’t remember how he died.

This is a fluffy story that makes you kick your feet but it’s also a deeply moving love story of what I would call eternal love. <<less
