Back in university Lu Yao married the most powerful man in Beicheng, Fu Shishu. In one fell swoop, she turned from a pheasant to a phoenix.

Lu Yao should have lived the rest of her life as a rich man’s noble wife, but who could have known that her maiden family would become a burden to her. She courted disaster for her younger brother’s sake and she was finally divorced by Fu Shishu.

Originally Lu Yao had thought that even if she was divorced, there will still be her maiden home to return to. Those years as Fu Shishu’s wife she had bought her family a big mansion and a luxury car. Yet before she could step through the threshold, she was turned away.

The poor and impoverished Lu Yao became ill, and her family refused to look at her even till her dying breath.

Lu Yao died in regret.

Then she woke up at the time before she had married Fu Shishu. Once again, that man asked her:

“Lu Yao, marry me.”

Thinking of her outcome in her past life, Lu Yao politely declined. She only wanted to live a quiet and calm life.

He gazed into her eyes deeply, and casually pulled at his cuffs. With a smile, he spoke, “Other than me, who dares to marry you?”

For me this novel only worth 2 stars but just round it up to 3 stars just because I love the 2nd ML.

The premise and the beginning of the story is quite good and unique in itself. But the execution and character development is really floppy. The plot and the story is, as the other reviewer said, really fast but goes around and around and around without any so-called 'growth' or 'development'.

Spoiler

The minus in the novel :

  • FL characterization is really bad. Before rebirth, she was meek and pushover but pure and kind. After rebirth, at first I thought she would come out as strong independent woman and smart, which is true in the first few chapters but then it goes downhill just like a drop. She is not smart and independent but instead strongwilled (kind of ok) but selfish and twisted. She is indecisive about her attitude to ML and in consequence I feel like she is playing with 2nd ML feeling. Up until ch 46, I don't see her resolute resolve of her feelings or relationship with ML, just taking it for granted and only thinking of making money. It's not entirely bad to only thinking of making money, but I feel like in the process of her making her money, she is willing to sacrifice others including ML and 2nd ML.
  • ML is a scumbag. In the first life, he is indifferent to FL. He knew how her family is not her blood family but decided to be indifferent and he KNEW that they tricked all the money FL had to be theirs but once again, he was indifferent and only hoped that FL would be smart. But can someone change to be a better person without someone pointing out the right way?! Then they divorced and just ignored and forgot about FL until he too suffered from backstabbing and all. If ML were living just fine in the first life, I bet he wouldn't know that FL su*cide until the day he died.
    After rebirth, he became obssesed to FL and he feels like he owns FL. He is too pushy (not overbearing), just simply pushy and forceful to what he wants. Reading up to ch 46, I feel like he is not accomodating to FL wishes at all or respect her in the slightest. Simply want to make her to be his. I read the aftet story, yeah he waited for FL as FL wishes to nurture her career but all in all, he is willing to wait just because he knows she is his and will accept no other alternative.

The plus side of the novel:

  • The premise where both FL and ML rebirth is quite good but again the execution is a big fail.
  • 2nd ML is so sincere and good but wasted so bad that I wanna cry and hate this novel OTL he existed solely to make ML more possesive of FL. He respect her and make plentiful effort to make FL aware of his feelings for her but FL just take him for granted and went for a date with him just because she has time to waste but not really respect his feeling for her. One time, she asked him out to watch movies when the ML is bedsick in her hotel room.
[collapse]

All in all, I couldn't bear to read the rest of the novel as it makes my blood boils so bad. You can read it at your own risk but honestly, I kinda regret reading this. It has the story and plot, juts that the character of both ML and FL is not worthy of main couple characterization in a novel.

It's fast paced, like really fast paced. We got a FL that got reincarnated or something. I hate how she suddenly became a madonna, we all know a person can't be like that, the author could've done something with her character to make her gradually change, but no, the author decided to make her change 180 degree after her reincarnation which is full of bull. Crazy thing is that she became an artist with immediate skills for acting and suddenly met few men that falls in love with her so... more>> fast (oops protagonist golden finger alert), lived with a man that she onlt men 2 times I guess.
Spoiler

and her ex husband the ML from her last life also came back to the same timeline after a few chapters

[collapse]

I wouldn't call this that bad since I finished reading it and went thru it all despite having short story and SUPER fast paced world setting.

This is not even a fluffy story with all that bs going on in the novel. The author decided to throw anything they wants in the novel and despite having a good introduction it became a boring and 2 dimensional novel thruought.

Kudos to the ML thou because at least he has a bif of improvement

Gising this a rate of 3.5, 2 for the effort of translator and 1.5 for the plot.

There's not too much angstvand dog blood here, uou can read it and decide if we have the same pov or not <<less

I was truly disappointed with this novel.

I can’t even like the FL and ML. I love 2nd ML better and his character was wasted. He was so considerate while courting her but as if the author seems like they don’t know how to make her reject such a good man, they had to make them cousins.

FL’s mother appearance was so sudden and abrupt that it felt so unnatural. Probably because she was short of money in her past life, in her new life, it’s all about money that when her real mother appeared, all she think was “hey, she wanna be my mother? Sure, as long as I get to inherit her stuff.” It was so s*upid. No emotion. Everything become so sloppy after the mother appeared and the novel was reaching it’s ending. Her mother’s appearance was just to increase her status in society as rich young miss.

The novel actually started quite nicely and interesting but along the way, it just keep getting bad slowly but worsen when her mother came.

Protagonist holo on FL is so strong that every guy she had work with for the first time fell in love with her, without any reasonable/obvious reason. It’s just so sudden because when the boys appeared, you just don’t get the vibe that they will love her.

She was also described as someone sheltered, nurtured by ML to live in his cage, with zero living skills, and ofc she had face hardship after her divorce and before her first death. But really? Naturally good and talented with acting??? While she’s never involved with entertainment industry before?

Her issue with her old family? Solved with borrowing power. At least she does admit that she was s*upid in her first life and doesn’t blame the ML for it.

Throughout the story, the FL seems like she may have made her mind who she will choose but no, they have to axe him out by making him her cousin/brother, and made her choose her ex husband instead. It was very unnatural especially since she was rejecting him so strong just to end up with him again.

[collapse]

Seriously, don’t read this if you are looking for fierce face slapping, great character development. It’s almost like slice of life of her life. If yo want to read this, just don’t have high expectation. You won’t be disappointed much, I hope. <<less

I have high hope for this novel. But in the end... Every minute I spend on this novel is a waste of time. ML to me is douchebag and FL is an idiot to end up with him. If I were in FL shoe, I would have gone for Shen Qing (supporting male) At least he knows he like MC from the start than ML or Chen Yanxing (another supporting character). Welp, I would say the translation is not bad. But the story is just.... UGHHH.

I hate it. The MC annoyed me to no end. How does she all of a sudden become this great actress when she had no prior experience in the last life. It literally makes no sense.

I did not like the second ML.

Most of the story I just skimmed through the chapters to see if it had anything to do with the ML.

-1/10 would NOT recommend.

I don't think the love is normal. ML looks obsessed and MC is.. What is the word? Uncertain of her feelings.

The love between them looks unnatural and kinda forced by ML, hence why I think he is obsessed. But I also don't like how when the 2nd ML turns out to be her family, MC almost immediately turns and get back with ML

A good read to pass the time. Although the male lead isn’t the most likeable, I do believe in second chances and in this case, I’m willing to give a pass. The pacing was a bit abrupt and the overall story is very shallow. However, I found this story a good read to pass the time. The fluff at the end was fun too. All in all, a mediocre read, but worth trying if you have the time.

SOMETHING FISHY WHEN I READ THE 1-2 CHAPTER. The FL is really masterof being naive that I totally don't like as I have high standards when it comes of main character.

The prologue is a little bit interesting but something the I have bad feeling that it's only going to stress me after reading the chapter 1&2,

So yeah I'm here to read honest and detailed review from other readers. And to be honest it was very very helpful! Because I didn't WASTE MY TIME on ths.

I skipped some of the chapters cuz they are predictable.

Overall, the story is about ML's redemption. The ML ignored FL in the previous life, and after he too got rebirthed like FL, he chased FL and sacrificed many things to be with her.

Spoiler

HE with a baby girl.

It’s a 2.5

it’s a short story, I think it could have been developed better. I like the FL resolution in her rebirth to become independant. I like ML attempt at redemption I honestly dislike the many plot holes the story has. Some themes would have made the novel more interesting if the author had explored it.
