Description

Despite getting along well with his difficult stepmother and earning the admiration of his sisters, he never expected married life with the prince to be so challenging.

He used to work as a doctor but passed away due to an accident. To his surprise, he was reborn into a completely different world.

In his new life, he became a wealthy young man and had a chance encounter with the prince, who was escaping his royal duties. The prince’s seemingly cold demeanor but kind hearted nature deeply intrigued him. He made it his mission to help the prince heal his legs, which were injured during the war, and couldn’t help but hope for a romantic relationship to blossom between them.

Eventually, his wish came true and he married the prince, but navigating the challenges posed by his difficult stepmother and sisters paled in comparison to the difficulties he faced as the prince’s spouse.

5years after his mother died leaving himself and 16years after his father left the mother and son to go back to his own home. The 16yo original MC died of starvation and illness in the village alone. The father was a general innjured in the battle and was helped by his mother as a young maiden. After that he patted his bu*t and went home, leaving the mother son, never had the intention to pick them to live with him in the capital. What a s*umbag who got his karma.... more>> For all his wives in the capital only gave him daughters. A total of 7 daughters but no son! Ah, he remembered, he has a son! Lets go and pick him up and let the mother and son to t come and enjoy blessing while also helping him with the heir problem. What a bastard.

The transmigrator or MC was a doctor died after being stabbed by his patient's family. But here, he was a soft cookie who melt seeing 7 cute young sisters (no, tsunderes are not cute), forgave his s*umbag father and grandmother who acted like a loving father and caring grandmother, and be polite to jealous white lotus stepmother and dont forget to be good older brother to help the sisters. Dafug. When MC arrived, seeing him alone with out the mother, but still no one asked of his mother, no one said anything including MC. The father never apologized nor gave reason for never contacting them before. The original is so pitiful. The orphan lived a hard life and no one cared but their own calculation including MC. MC filtered his eyes and conscience with dung. I cannot with such character. <<less

reading google translate.

the story is interesting. I got hooked by the title on translator site of "C1 – My Boyfriend Was Reborn!" to be honest this is misleading title. First the reborn is himself not the boyfriend. So I got expection about this that the first guy he met here is the boyfriend in modern who died first before him and having expectation of both of them have memories in their modern world era but nope.

... more>>
Spoiler

He is 39 year old who reborn to ancient era as 16 years old and partnering with the same age as him at present. Its like lowkey pe*o. He have a soul and mind of 39 and partner with the crown prince whose looks like barely adult. What a huge gap in terms of soul.

this story about a reborn doctor who doesn't struggle much in his life coz after he was reborn he was liked by his current family. His grandma, his father, his seven sister even the butler, maid and guards like him except his stepmother. The guy he save which is the prince got interest on him. There's no really love involve before they got married just crown prince want him to own and possess him due to talents and skills which can help his country. Which turn me off and drop it at 101.

the MC also bring the modern world ideas to the ancient era alone like an OP character. I was hoping that his boyfriend is reborn too, I was having a high expectations that he's a high standard as a prince but nah. He's like a child. I don't see much of his intelligence but its the help of MC that makes him more look intelligent even the strong aura which the story describe can't even feel or see it.

[collapse]

synopsis really different to what's happening. <<less

I like every chara in this novel. No toxic relationship and the interactions among couples/side couples are entertaining and hilarious. The MC is humane and reasonable too. The synopsis is a little misleading bcoz the MC's family and stepsisters are so cute and good. Although the stepmom has a grudge on MC, she can only discredit the MC at most.

The palace intrigue here is not as complicated as written by others.

I find some lapses in which some scenarios are not explained well and/or skipped

The plot description is interesting. The overall story is good except the ending. It feels rushed. I wished the characters' ending was elaborated more.

The characters are good and distinctive.

Please note that translation is most likely MTL.

The premise of the novel seems to be that a doctor transmigrates to a different world in historical times, marries a member of the royal family and helps advance the overall technology of the era using his modern knowledge. Plot wise the story is pretty good but there are a couple of things that turn me off and ultimately cause me to stop reading:

At this point in time the MC is pretty hypocritical, He likes to think of himself as having modern sensibilities... more>> and not being as ruthless at this point when compared to others in the era. For this reason he uses his medical skills to heal ‘s*aves’. However, at the beginning of the novel MC does not hesitate in risking a ‘s*aves’ life by ordering them to assist the ML in a fight with assassins in order to win merit without considering whether that person would come back alive or get injured.

Second, I personally find it disturbing about how MC covers the ML. MC is around 40 years old at time of transmigration while ML is 16 I believe. It disturbed me how someone who called himself a ‘middle aged old man’ from the beginning was lusting after a child (though evidently the age of s*xual consent in China is 14 so *shrugs*).

lastly the one thing that annoyed me is the political situations in the novel. How the MC gets involved, solves, or even talks to others comes off as seriously crackish and fake. I realize that this is a comedy novel, but the attempt falls very flat and the politics seem very 2 dimensional without any depth.

this might be the novel for some but it’s not the novel for me. <<less

Perfect!Healthy and hilarious relationship between MC and ML. That alone is worth it all!

Gradual love, relationship with sisters is good and was not rushed. ML is cute, but very OP. The MC is an OP in medicine, but is humble enough to recognize that he needs to learn part of Chinese medicine. He is also humble to share 21st century knowledge for ML and this new world.

I like the MC he is a funny and lovable character, but he is not a person who can be pushed back.

And there is... more>> an interesting plot, there are two transmigrants and they are friends with each other. MC versed in medicine, knife carving and various pop culture knowledge. The MC's friend versed in palace plots and a little crazy, a great accountant and a talent in business.

ML, I love him. OP, faithful and has faith in the MC.

Zhao Salang... Memorable, has a progressive and surprising development. For that reason alone, the novel is worth reading. He's a secondary character and I still remember his name. From a hedonistic son to becoming a Marquis and military general, for merits in war. <<less

The ML are quite reasonable, he let MC have friends even tho he always ends up drinking vinegar but MC love ML more. I really like the side character, the character development that was created by MC are fun to read. The MC wasn’t over the top with his knowledge from thefuture, he was a wise and smart MC.

happy ending.
