Luo Wencheng made a deal with a certain existence and went back in time to ten years ago, when he had just been released from prison, still young and healthy, not yet pushed to the breaking point by Luo Wenjun and not yet used by him as a prop to test drugs for profit until his tragic death.

This time he was going to trample Luo Wenjun underfoot.

The first priority was to steal Luo Wenjun’s future backer from him.

Such a nice story. Don't miss this guys.

MC is clever and ML is soft to MC even though he is cold. Thank you so much for translating and sharing this. This has more angst and less fluff. Doesnot mean that no romance is there. We have romance but towards the end in a few chapters. We hMC face slapped his enemies with the help of ML. Seems like every other revenge story. But the way of story telling make this story stand apart from others of the similar genre.

Spent almost 9 hours straight just to finish this novel lol

If you have something to do, better not pick up this novel cause you won't be able to let it go 😂

Rating: 4 stars

The first to the climax part of the novel is so so so good. The emotions are perfect and even if it ended right there ... more>>
Spoiler

when MC was supposed to go abroad and totally leave and ML was driving him to the airport

[collapse]
I will be satisfied because the feelings are so relatable that even though it hurts, I can accept it huhu

But I was disappointed the next happenings after that... the story kinda shifted a lot for me.
Spoiler

I understand that MC lost his emotions and his love for ML because of the experiment but at the ending of the story, I'm so unsatisfied. The MC feels so different, even the ML feels so different. I felt like I was reading a separate story now lol

I do understand that when people fall in love or out of love, their personality will change but I guess what made me disappointed is that unlike the first to mid part of the story wherein the story emphasizes on what the MC/ML feel and how their surroundings is, the ending chapters feel rushed.

Most of the characters you'll read about are also the new characters (aside from ML/MC). The story didn't mention anymore Uncle Ding, Liu Manager and that Zhou bodyguard.

I just feel like these characters helped make the story feel more real and relatable so taking them out at the later chapters especially when MC/ML changed a lot, makes the story feel like it's not the original story anymore

After 100s of novels that I read on NU this is one of the stories which made me bawl like a baby. I don’t know if it is just PMS. At one point it does seem like overkill, the amount of problems the MC faces I mean, but finally it is a HE.

It is quick read took me 2 days to be done with it.

Rating: 3.5

Pairing Type: reborn MC x Big Boss ML; shou MC x gong ml; standard formula gong-slightly doting; plotting MC x kind ml; artist mc

... more>> Tropes: rebirth; family drama; dog blood; revenge

Triggers: death; torture -physical and mental (human experimentation) ; mu*der

Heat level: 1/5 (innocent) ; they are pretty PG, kissing at most

Re-watch: 1/5 - won’t reread

I cried a lot lol

I don’t really have a lot to say because I read Rebirth: Different Way and they have a shocking amount of similarity.

Plot is pretty interesting. I did feel like the author didn’t want to fully commit it MC being super cunning and conniving. So instead he kind of just hugs a golden thigh and gets dragged to the finish line lol. That being said, the question about a revenge story will always be: was the revenge satisfying? Did everyone that deserved retribution get it? And the answer is, for the most part, yes.

The leads are pretty good. ML is very dedicated and he’s got a soft heart despite being kind of a mob boss lol.

Spoiler:

Spoiler

At first, I couldn’t understand how he could be so dedicated to a childhood crush. But when it was revealed that he was supposed to die at 16 and MC changed the trajectory of his life, it became more understandable. It’s like, somewhere deep down he felt that he owed this person his existence.

[collapse]

Overall, I like it. But I won’t reread it. <<less

One of the best translations I've read, good word usage and awesome flow, so kudos to the translator.

The story happens to be one of my favourites, good characters, good plot, everything goes great...

Until my only reason for this novel not to be in my top choices.

Spoiler

being emotionless and only liking Mr Lu a little.. Ok they will be together, but one turns from a tyrant to an idiot in love and the other from a smart person in love to an indifferent person! This made me feel awkward.

Also, it gets complicated towards the finale

Not major issues, just made me like it less, otherwise it'd be top 10 for me. <<less

4/5 for the story, thank you for the translation!

MC is strong, stubborn, admirable and I love him for his compassion and mindset, very lovable character. He only hurts those who had hurt him.

ML as well, just having a bad reputation but he's gentle, sympathetic and respect MC's boundaries and feelings.

But what baffles me is that ... more>>
Spoiler

how did ML get his rep of being into youthful looking and pure personality and being with MC's brother in his past life. I don't really like it when ML rejected MC but it was understandable and admirable that he kept his promise even though he forget MC's face. I think I'll need to finish it before I make a judgement but it makes me have a sour feeling deep down that ML seems to only accept MC into his world just because he wasn't his white moonlight oh well, maybe I went through so much with the MC, it's good ML set his boundaries and know what he wants and doesn't hurt MC further but protect him from afar. I don't mind if he doesn't accept MC but I never like anyone who hurts MC's to end up with ML. ML would also reject his brother's advances but it was said that brother used his body to do it and ML had a great level of responsibility but I don't like that. The plot is alright but feels a bit slow for me but it's good, there isn't much noticeable plot holes. I feel angry for MC often in the story, from the people mistreating him and ML throwing away his food, ML's subordinates not respecting MC.

[collapse]

from ML rumor it was said he was into a specific type and would sleep with them, perhaps this is just a ploy to get ppl away from him and finding his white moonlight within the description. His people seems to not expect that he'd even have any skinship with MC so, I'll come back making a conclusion and opinion later on.

What I like most about this novel is MC, Wencheng and the cat, Ribs. ML is currently at the back of my mind, although he's a good person and lover, I don't like him as much as I do with other ML which is surprising. I'll see what ML can do. I almost cried many times for MC and especially the cat, good girl, may you rest in peace Ribs.

Spoiler

Anyways no one is gonna read my rambling anyways so imma just spoil everything, MC soon regain in memories in the 70ish chapter and he realized the system saved him 3 times and he doesn't know the reason yet. What makes me like MC even more is that he feels human and he is self aware of most of his problems including his guilty conscience of using ML then falling for him, ML only accepting him bc he was his white moonlight, the system, the crazy scientist, etc. MC knows what he wants and will gets it and beat people up for it, he is also smart and knows when to back off, such a sweetie reminds me of Kim dokja because of how he kept wanting to end his life for a sacrifice.

Liked it. I love both the MC and ML's characters. Everything is explained by the end and I'm satisfied with it. ML did make it a lot easier for him but MC himself is self reliant as well. It was refreshing to see how MC got the benefits but in trade for that was having him to give up on hope and love he had as well as the "punishment time". How we get to see him without any attachments and gradually manage to love again, his feelings of wanting... more>> to go get that love while also feeling the guilt of using that love. I love his few green tea btch moments as well. Sometimes tho MC doesn't act his age nor like someone who was drug tested and killed so horribly. The revenge plots weren't great either. It's not a perfect story with certain inconsistencies here and there and will definitely not be likeable to everyone. But I definitely enjoyed reading it. although after an exhausting workday, my tired ass would eat up any mediocre stories so there I gave it five stars

Spoiler

Two persons, both fated to die cruelly but each sacrifices from both gave them chances to turn around that fate and truly be together.

System you are the true saviour here allabyu

To be honest, I don't know how to rate this story. It was entertaining but it also was really annoying. The lack of true communication is appalling.

The story idea is good, the writing is ok and the translation is also good, though I still feel there was a lot missing.

It is OK to read but it is nothing deep and sometimes just brushes over storyline, like it's not important.

Might not read it again but it also was no wasted time.

Definitely recommend. 5 stars for me. The writing and translations were both great.

So many emotional up and downs where when it finally reached the end, it was the most satisfying. I do feel some parts are really just painful (not worth the pain) and waiting for that long was just torture for ML and MC, but I do feel fulfilled after and especially in the extra. I definitely cried while reading this.

Prepare to be emotionally invested in this. It's not a light hearted read. It includes torture (emotionally and physically),... more>> so if you want something fluffy, light, and heartwarming then I suggest you look for another novel.

The translator also did a amazing job in this! Thank you for sharing this with us.

P.S. There wasn't really a yaoi aspect, more shounen ai. <<less

I genuinely didn't expect much when I first read this. I was bored and want a little drama, saw the title, rating seems good, scrolled down and directly click ch1 without even reading synopsis.

Those who have read this probably would get it. You just got absorbed and by the time you realized, it's already halfway done.

It has just the right amount of angst, right amount of cuteness, no red flag MC/ML, excellent integration of system, though there's not much explanation about the system, at least there's a closure about it.

Once... more>> I finish reading, I was fully satisfied. Really didn't expect this right on the last day of my holiday. I think I'm prepared for work tomorrow. <<less

Lol there is no way I’m reading the same novel as some of these other reviews. Granted I’m dropping this mess at 15, but still.

This novel is so unserious from the very start. If author wanted a system novel then they should have committed fully instead of just using it as a point to explain why the MC feels nothing but hatred for his family and is a d*ck to the ML later down the line.

honestly tho, what really made me drop it was just how terribly corny it became.... more>> First of all, half the damn chapter is the mc/side characters lamenting or pondering about some random bs and then coming back to the present situation. The way he was drunk but magically sobered up enough to toss a shaker around and catch liquid. The part where he caught the spilled drink before it spilled is what did it for me. Like wtf am I reading lmfaoo so unserious. Maybe it’s cause I just finished a pretty decent face slapping novel, I just couldn’t take anything that was happening in the first 15 chapters of this novel seriously.

A Mess. <<less

Idk. All these rave reviews had me thinking this novel would be something really special, but after reading a bunch of rebirth plotlines (ex. Rebirth: Different Way), nothing about Dear Mr. Lu moved me. I'm not saying it was badly written, I'm just saying I don't really see where the 4.6/5 general rating came from.

The antagonists were very one-dimensional, so there's nothing unpredictable. I guess it was interesting that the MC was such a white lotus, and there were some moral complications toward his feelings toward the ML, but that's... more>> about it. I know it's part of the premise, but his ruthlessness bored me. I thought the MC & ML's relationship lacked depth as well, and the ML came off way too parental. Also, a personal pet-peeve is when the writing exaggerates how attractive the MC is. Like don't worry, I won't forget how thick his eyelashes are or how tenderly tinted his red cheeks are after drinking, or how pale he is. Don't have to remind me every page. Maybe if I didn't read the reviews beforehand and had such a high expectation, I wouldn't have felt let down.

The translation was great though. <<less

only read this if you want to experience what it's like to be drugged, experimented on, and hypnotized; if you have a lot of times on your hands; and, really have no more choice on what to read because you've run out of choices. Seriously, only read this as a very very very last and desperate choice. I'm telling you, how upsetting this novel is is beyond words. It's not a good time, it's not even laughable.

i have many complaints about this novel. I don't know how many times I... more>> thought of genuinely hitting my head against the wall. You would question if the author is actually drugging and experimenting on people themself or want to experience that with how desperately obsessed they are with writing about torturing people.

this is not a satisfying read. It is not a faceslapping novel. This is an underdog MC novel where he is abused time and time and again for god knows what reason besides the author being a sicko. He gets his revenge but it isn't even on the level of abuse and suffering he experienced against each villain. He is still miserable and the loser in life despite having revenge. He's cannon fodder that mistakenly got the spotlight of the main character. Even his special conditions can't be considered a golden finger. He is NEVER victorious or completely happy.

you see, the MC keeps being vengeful and vicious but the moment one bad thing happens to one of the villains, he's done. I thought he was stripped of his hope and love? Why the f*ck did he still have compassion of sorts. You can't convince me that someone who's reason for living is revenge would be satisfied with their enemy who had them drugged and hanging his life in between living and death just hurt once and then he lets the villain go. That's his big moment? That's the result of his resolve to get revenge and do everything within that one year? You see, I can understand the revenge being made into a subplot if we weren't purposely made to pity the MC so much because of his experiences, but we were. The author can't seem to balance the revenge and the romance plot. They shifted towards MC falling in love way too fast and took his attention from revenge away way too fast. It's f*cking funny even because our first peek at the romance is just MC going through a half-assed push and pull. The "romance" takes up so much space in the storyline but it's not even meaningful and then when it's supposed to be meaningful, it's rushed and shallow. It wasn't completely developed, it felt lacking and insincere. There was such a huge imbalance after the MC lost his love and emotions again and he just goes "I'm starting to like you again" sometime in the last chapter and boom happy ending? MY ASS.

let me summarize the storyline:
Spoiler

luo wencheng goes through three lives. He is basically a child on the first one and dies to save someone else. In the next one he meets villains who abuse him, gets tortured by drugs with his life in the control of other sick freaks, and dies tragically. And the worst of it? It all could have been avoided if han ying that bit*h and her family turned themselves in for being human traffickers and accomplices. That bit*h leaves unscathed and still happy and well. Luo wencheng, in his next life, can get revenge but cannot even be with the man he fell for and this man keeps being a half-assed bastard, playing with his feelings and lacking discipline or any f*cking compassion for luo wencheng. He was just as selfish as much as he was generous. Luo wencheng almost loses his life and gives it up to save the man who led him on and who he didn't even know he had a future with. He died before he could even take revenge in the lunatic researcher. In this third life, he wakes up, having been drugged and experimented on like in his past life. Later on, he's treated like he isn't human and has to play along. He is also dependent on a pacemaker created by that lunatic and was even grateful that he's alive because of it? Author, do you want this to be done to you? Is this a fantasy of yours, you f*cking freak?

the author trying to make the ML and MC appear sweet in the later chapters (71 onwards) feels like a sick ploy akin to someone making you eat a jar of sugar forcibly after forcing acid down your throat. The romance doesn't feel as genuine or sincere anymore. Not palatable anymore either and you won't be in the mood for it because, normal people would not want to care about their relationship while they are trying to catch a criminal and get him convicted? Especially one who holds your life in his hands? Why do I feel like the only sober person who felt uncomfortable with all this? Is it peak romance to be lovey-dovey while your lover who has been drugged and experimented on, being treated as a f*cking s*ave, is still dependent on a device made by the same lunatic? At that point, you'd just want everything in the story to end. Before that, at around chapter 70, if you persevere enough, you will get tired of reading. What is the point of reading a story with no turnaround? It's like the author is desperately trying to compensate for all 70+ chapters that took place before chapter 71-75. A smidge of warped "romance" that doesn't even seem warm anymore being pushed to your face after you've been beaten black and blue and fed rocks and pins. Disgusting.

you know when the villains actually get retribution completely? Only in the damn extra and it wasn't even by luo wencheng's hand. Worse? It's only the luo family who gets severely punished. Why couldn't that have happened from the start? Do you know when all the chaos finally ends in luo wencheng's life? CHAPTER 76. My biggest regret in life is that this author was born.

[collapse]

you tell me, as a reader, would you not be driven to insanity because of this garbage? I can't even warn that "this is not for the faint of heart." more like, this novel is written by and meant for psychopathic sad*st freaks who have a fetish for people getting abused and drugged to death.

the reviews really made me have hope for this. Everybody spoke so highly of this novel but nobody ever specified how much reading this is like having a diet full of glass shards. "I don't like the researcher subplot but I guess it completes the story." where is the reaction? So passive as if it just happened for a few chapters and wasn't so bad. It was f*cking horrible and sickening. Is everyone so desensitized that they can cry a few tears and move on? Where are the rest of your emotions? Why the hell did nobody react to the MC being treated as a s*ave, most especially by a white man? Nobody thought that was freakish? You all had the time to appreciate the MC and ml's stiff yet "budding romance" throughout all of that? Why is nobody ranting about anything? I feel like too many reviewers are too nice about stories but they're not helpful. Only by actually criticizing or being honest about what you read would you help both the novel and future readers. YOU WILL NOT DIE IF YOU ACTUALLY REVIEW THE STORY and not just give a "it's nice and painful :') " then end it there. Tell us what the hell you thought and felt about the story and what you would want future readers to know 😭 you guys give 4 and 5 stars so easily and would rarely actually rate 3 stars and below. How the hell would people know what the novel is really like? Don't deceive people. <<less

Did I read the same novel as everyone because I truly cannot understand why this novel has such high ratings.

Probably because I’ve read other better face slapping novels this one just fell short to me.

I wished MC took the revenge himself with the help of ML but no except for taunting and mocking them as well standing up to them he did absolutely nothing. (Right manipulating ML too)

... more>> The plot itself made no sense to me with all those experiments and stuff.

I really couldn’t bear it anymore after the characters personality did complete 180 change. Like for the majority of the novel ML was cold and aloof (hated him for kinda leading on mc) suddenly became idiot in love while MC who was so in love with ML to the point of sacrifice suddenly became cold and unloving (I know it’s because of system and blah blah blah) but I just didn’t like it.

RATING THIS TWO FOR MY DEAR RIBS AND RIBS ONLY. <<less

MC: Luo Wen Cheng

ML: Lu Chong

It is a Yaoi Rebirth Revenge Romance novel. Revenge is only one of part of novel but the main part or what is prioritised more in this novel is the relationship between MC & ML.

MC was reborn after suffering a lot because of his 'family members' and exchanging his love and hope with the System. He is adamant to take revenge on everyone who made him suffer in his 1st life but he can live for only 1 year unless he makes another exchange... more>> with the system. So MC takes the short route and hugs ML's golden thigh to get revenge as he doesn't has the power and status to get revenge in such a short time.

The novel is more about MC falling for ML and their journey towards each other with revenge fulfilled and other troubles resolved in the background. <<less

The best part of this novel is the cat, that's it. If you squint really closely, the plot is paper thin.

I don't understand why this is rated so high, it infuriates me.

There are sooo many plot points the author just brushed over and ignored, like..

... more>> 1. MCs revenge was so easy because the ML basically can do everything and anything.

2. What about MC's bio Dad?!

He's been praying and scared for 22 years, for his child's fate at the hands of human traffickers, and/or if he ended up like his stepson.

But what did MC do?

He just gave him money! That's it, never even introduced himself! Didn't even give the man peace of mind! The truly one person who loves him. Damn bro.

3. ML, 16 years?! No friends and no falling in love because of a promise he made when he was a kid to a stranger he can't evenq remember the face and don't know the name?! For real bro? 🥴 4. The gangster stuff is so unserious. They treat ML like some sort of God, but it comes across as edge lord 2000. He's so strong but so fragile, we can't live without him oooh. 🙄 5. I have beef with the author fr. S/he is so obsessed with YOUNG BODIES! Istg it's giving me the ick!

Also basically wrote the MC as a man, but with the beauty and allure of a woman, but hates being seen as girly. Make it make sense. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6. The 🤸🏻‍♀️ system 🤸🏻‍♀️ <<less

minus at least 1 star for making me cry over the cat!

[collapse]

Their relationship at times was really sweet, other times annoying and by the end felt oddly perfunctory.

It was a lot of story cramped into less than 100 chapters, but at the same time I felt it was dragging. Like the story just went on these tangents, but sometimes interesting tangents that suck you in.

The whole system part seemed random. I wanted a bit more about it than the little bit we get in the last extra.

All in all I'm not mad I read it....I think, but probably won't read it again. The author had an interesting idea, the execution was just flawed. <<less

I kinda like it. It's a reborn troupe, but still lil fresh with some twist. The MC isn't too op, but there's a privilege from his experience and gift box, the ML is like a gentleman waiting for his White Moonlight but such a near distance of Moonlight make him blind, can't see it and almost miss the moon.

When I read this, I was like.. Eh? Huh? Wow.. Eh? That's it? Like that. At first, it's still like a puzzle. It's already good in the middle,... more>> but when the biggest hidden villain show up and got caught, the story end up drop just like that. Like.. Isn't it too easy?

I read it all, and honestly, at the beginning I liked it more but then I thought that the ML was too superficial he just liked the idea of the MC, not who he really was, the idea that he was so pure and so good and talented but not who he truly was, then with the other stuff that it was revealed, he just idolized him and put him in a pedestal but never got to really know MC, I didn't understand why he didn't like the protagonist and... more>> suddenly when it was revealed he did, it was too strange, that made me think again that he was just about the idea of the perfect person.

I got tired of the protagonist getting frie zoned, and how he began acting afterward it was revealed, I felt that the ML came across as two-faced, the characters were too 2 dimensional, and I feel strange about the fact that he fell in love so hard with me because he didn't show him affection and I thought the MC had more self-respect and would leave someone who liked him for superficial reasons, and I got annoyed, he's a 30-year-old man and he still can't think of his future with a cold head, he didn't think deeply about how he came across to me and tried to get in a relationship with him even though they barely knew each other, what ML knew was just his image of purity and being a Saint that was abused and MC doesn't think that it was weird to want to be in a relationship with someone who just knows that about you?.

He never asanything about himself that was really about him, not about his family or being mistreated by others, they didn't talk a lot... in my opinion, MC has really low self-esteem because he thought he was indebted to ML when he just helped him and it was in his means, he never did anything that would have made him lose anything because the power of others was like ants in comparison, the ML just seemed to treat him as a child and then out of nowhere it changed, I felt that he infantilized him but it made sense because they do have an age gap, he didn't come across as a bf just the type of care a dad gives his children, It was too rushed, and I thought while reading it that he would have made a great dad to MC hahaha, he just gave me dad vibes and it made me sad because I knew he would reject MC and not give him a chance.

there wasn't a lot that was different about this than other novels, it was okay but I felt that ML should have suffered more for being superficial and then losing the person he loved because he knew the child for so little time and still thought that it was a real promise, I think that If the topics were explored and they were more conscious about their issues it would have been a great Novel, I was expecting that the MC would notice that it wasn't healthy and would find someone that would love him even with all his imperfections and not someone who didn't see him.

Still, the novel was okay but something was lacking just that depth, I really wanted MC to grow but he didn't, and ML just followed that image of perfection and his ideal lover, it left me a really sour taste in the mouth. <<less
