Description

In the last life, Movie Emperor Yu listened to the company and listened to his manager in order not to expose his s*xual orientation. Until his death, he never had a relationship.

Yu Qing Huan didn’t want to be a money making machine in his current life. He wanted to travel to the best place, see the best scenery, eat the best food and then find the best man to live a happy life together.

Hou Qu is a genius savant who can easily learn chemical formulas just by glancing at them. One day, he gets lost in the busy streets and Yu Qing Huan helps him.

Little does Yu Qing Huan know that his wish to stay out of the limelight may not ever be granted as he had unknowingly been locked on by a hungry wolf hidden in the shadows because of his single act of kindness…

overall I enjoyed it!

although I didn’t particularly like the main couple... I liked the MC but the ML........ the author really played up the idiot savant thing and it’s just not my cup of tea. I get that it’s meant to be cute that he doesn’t know how to do anything and relies on the MC for everything and discovers love and all that but.... ye not for me.

but the MC was enough to keep my interest! and I thought how they came out was very sweet (if only it... more>> could be like that irl). also I like the rebirth part! it was well explained (why he was so lucky etc)

i just wish that that side couple could have had some more air time ;-; I read thru the raws to see if I could find anything but nope (unless I skimmed too fast and missed it). but I guess it’s also poetic in a sense that some relationships just never have that kind of closure especially when it starts off messy. I do feel that it can be its own spin-off novel though! hopefully the author considers it •-• <<less

It good story but it waste of my time. Why? Because the title doesn't match with the story. The MC got chance to be reborn to travel back his time. He didn't want live his life as an actor. The whole story is about him can't escape his fate not about him in a relationship. It like a short slice of life as an actor. I'm just pissed off there little story about the MC and the P. If your reading because of the title don't waste your time reading... more>> it. It okay story if your bored and no other story to read. <<less

Okay, it took me a while to write this review but... it's because I feel like there are no words to describe how much I loved this novel...

It's the first time I've read a novel where one of the protagonists is autistic, and that alone has already caught my attention, as it's a relatively sensitive topic and rarely addressed in any kind of novel (sincerely, I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I read a book or any other work that portrayed an autistic protagonist). But... more>> it is also not 100% sure that Huo Qu is autistic, because, it is said in the novel that he is on a different spectrum...

Anyway, I can't find any faults. Qinghuan is a great protagonist, he is generous, intelligent and very kind. To be honest, he is currently in my top 5 male novel protagonists because I really loved his personality and how he was always so open and understanding with Huo Qu.

The Huo Qu... is the same. I'm completely in love with him. There is no more. He is simply a ray of sunshine, an angel, who must be protected from all evil on earth. I would love to be able to pick him up and hug him.

The couple's dynamic is simply incredible, even more so after the first extra chapter, in which he talks about how Qinghuan and Huo Qu connected in their past lives. I cried so hard, seriously. I hadn't known what it was like to be moved by a novel for months.

I loved the secondary characters and the development of the couple. It's just amazing.

I still feel that 5 stars is not enough. <<less

Honestly this was okay until Qin Zheng enterned the story. He has far more chemistry with MC than ML does so I cant help but be disillusioned with ML...

As opposed to QZs interactions with MC, MC and MLs interactions feel more like a babysitter and a child (which, lets be honest, is exactly whats happening here when MC has to hand feed ML). I much preferred it when MC could talk like an equal with someone, instead of having ML purposefully play up his helplessness so that MC would pay... more>> attention to him (granted, its the onlt way he knows how to get more attention, but its not my kink, sorry.)

Oh well, just another to add to my list of "side character that I wish was ML showed up so now I cant enjoy actual ML" <<less

Even if I rate it as 4*, I don't really fancy it. From here on, I'm going to rant a little. Warning : spoiler for the main character.
Spoiler

Reading about the Gong is so painful to me. Is an adult like him actually exist out there? He's a genius on science field so I think he's a Thinker person. Yes, a Thinker person has this deep logical mind where they can be clueless of common daily life activities.
So it kind of annoy me how his family pamper him so much that he can't even cross road? Use chopstick (what? Do they hand-feed him?). How to use the phone properly even though he's in science field?? Whattt???

But, oh hey, he's a professor and teaches college student. How awesome is that?
Author please. This hurts my conscience.

[collapse]

So the 4* here is for the hardship life of the Shou.

This is one of the very first novels I read after I joined NU. However, I dropped it for years, not because it isn't good, but because it's so good, it's suffocating.

The ML is working in the same field as mine, and his character, although not that extreme, is somehow kind of similar to people in my real life, hence I'm especially sympathize and more emotional towards him. That's why I can't bear it and end up dropped this novel at chapter 102 (The chapters were divided into parts by... more>> the translator, Flying Lines). 😢 I just feel so bad at the time. Although I know the story can't always be smooth sailing, I'm still frustrated.

However, as the author said, the couple need some times to process and accept the relationship, and we have to be patient with them. Thankfully, the outcome worth the wait, and the story is very sweet afterwards (actually, the angst isn't even account for 2% of the story lol it was me being jumpy at the time).

Unfortunately, after I resume the read, I don't really like the ML as much as I did before. I know he's different from others, but I really hate it when the author always use this reason to justify his many unpleasant actions,
Spoiler

especially when he's being forceful towards the MC, including those bites, marks and other s*xual stuffs (I feel uncomfortable every times I read to these parts, since the MC always describe it as painful, and he didn't enjoy it).

[collapse]
Meanwhile, the MC is the one who always compromise, either because he loves ML very much, or because he's soft-hearted, which is, in fact, not healthy at all. Thankfully, the ML gets better before the story end, and they can now truly enjoy their sweet and healthy relationship! <<less

Heart warming, sweet, and fluffy.

No prolonged drama and too much dog blood, just enough here and there to accentuate the actual plotline.

I seldom comment about translation, but.. I guess maybe it could use an editor? Hope the new translator can present this work better, because the first one feels like reading a slightly less headache inducing MTL.

--rant--

This is fiction.. But sometimes we read fiction to escape from reality or hope for some of its miracle to happen in our daily life.

Spoiler

The character I relate to the most in this novel is not the main character or the side character. It's actually the minor side character.. The Huo's mother and father.. Because I too, am a parent of a special boy (although he's not as amazing as HQ)..

That is why I can relate to their distress when HQ is missing or when they found out that he likes other man.

I hope.. Someday a miracle also happen to my boy.. That he will meet someone special that can take him out of his own world and loves him for who he is..

The setting of father Huo is a politician, but his action is very rational and mature, I hope I can be that kind of parents for my boy (even though I kind of feels like I'll be more like mama Huo)

Not sure how to feel about this.

Seems like author is writing about someone who's mentally disabled for the views, no researches done here.
First instance we get to touch on the subject is
>siblings remembering not to step into ML's room due to his OCD
when there has been no symptoms of OCD from ML so far at all in the story but more along the lines of ASD. More details:
Spoiler

clearly not OCD:
Only wants to maintain his order, not obsessed with particular symmetry, no tics, no particular fear of bacteria or cleanliness obsessions, no aggressions from breaking said OCD symptoms.
Likelihood to be ASD:
Has troubles communicating with people, underwhelming reactions to sensual and visuals like not fond of food/general nourishment and unable to focus on conversations, inappropriate social interaction and visible delays in learning (cannot remember ways of commute, modern lingo, social behaviour etc etc.)

[collapse]

ML and MC's encounters are not doing it for me, it's forceful.
MC doesn't want to spend another lifetime living for anybody else, yet ironically we have a mentally disabled person who's persistently attaching themselves onto MC, while MC also has to deal with the annoyance of his booming career.
And I'm saying mentally disabled on purpose because due to MC having MC status, it's not like he can shove him aside and ignore him. MC HAS to tolerate ML.
It's the same as if he'd tried to get away from an overbearing CEO but overbearing CEO doesn't respect his disinterest and forcefully ties him down, just that in this case we can't blame ML for hanging onto MC.

For those saying he's not mentally disabled: It's an obvious fact that ML cannot look after himself regardless how mature he can seem, he NEEDS adult supervision.

ML is NOT MC's type at all either, the story outline is predictable AF from here on;
most likely just majority about MC succeeding in his career and ML occasionally getting into trouble and has more fateful encounters w/ MC and ML gradually growing onto MC.
I don't care how cute ML is and how cute they are later on together; I'm bothered by this outline set up like their forced encounters and foreseeable future.
Also want to punch the ableist biased mom of ML in the face. Treating ML like a baby and neglecting/ignoring her other children triggers the F out of me.
Spoiler

Alright, read some spoilers, it's still hella one sided, MC only saved ML's life, he was, again I repeat, not romantically interested in ML.
Just by the basis someone saved your life in the first lifetime you have to date them in your reborn lives by fate's dictation? Uncomfortable af. It would've been fine if at least MC was attracted to ML and he sought ML out to repay the favour willingly. But no, he isn't and he didn't.

On the other hand, the ex of MC seems much more promising as they were, let's say this out loud, MUTUALLY IN LOVE. Dang it!!

This story is probably one of my all time favourites. It has just the right amount of fluff in it.

The MC isn't perfect, same with the ML. I love that they both have character growth. The ML was really well written.

Super happy to see it getting a better translation too.

I don't know how to express my love for this novel because its so perfect! Damn! Too much dog food and fluff that I'm having diabetes!

The MC and ML are made for each other, they are so perfect together! The ML may be a little special but he still try his best to be the best man for MC. The author written it so well that you can't see any negative or insulting descriptions towards the ML's condition and just made it so natural. I can also see that the... more>> author seems to not fond of dog blood drama as everything run so smoothly, well it's because of the MC's crazy luck.

Oh my gosh. Reading the extra, I feel like crying
Spoiler

seems like the MC obtain his new chance in life, luck and smooth sailing life because of the people's wishes for him in the previous life, instigated by ML

Absolutely one of the best novels I've been fortunate to read.

Both the MC and ML were endearing. Our MC was so loveable and giving that I really felt he deserved all the good things. He was grateful to everyone who lent him a hand and always repaid them. On the other hand, you will not find an ML as dedicated and loving as our Hou Qu. He maybe different from a normal person but his dedication to our MC was so satisfying to watch. I also appreciate the people around... more>> them since they added flavors to the story.

Overall this novel was delightful to read and all the positives events contributed to the very happy and fulfilling ending.

The author and translator did such a great job. <<less

I love this novel. One of my faves.

The romance may start slow but in the end you'll feel its worth the wait.

The quality of translation is good. And it's already completed.

The characters, I love them. Qinghuan's connection with them is so precious.

... more>>
Spoiler

His best friend, Zhao Qingyuane. Yun Xi, his agent. Zhao Rui, his friend-slash-director. And his in-laws, they're so good to our Qinghuan.

[collapse]

I even shipped some characters. Unfortunately, there are none extra chapters for them. I'm like, that's a pity!! I won't let their relationship end like that.

Spoiler

Pertaining to, Fang Zhongxi and Evenson.

[collapse]

The plot is good and the main character is not a type of person who is ambitious and vengeful. He just wants to be low-key. One of the points I like about him.

And Huo Qu, when he first appeared I'm like: He doesn't look like a wolf to me. (He was describe by the Author as a wolf.) But after some chapters, I changed into: So that's why he's a wolf. He's really a wolf.

And the discoveries at the extra chapters!! My gosh. Didn't expect it.

Spoiler

Qin Zheng is actually the reason why Huo Qu died in the past life. Qin Zheng don't how what's special about Huo Qu that made Qinghuan save him. So, he kinda kidnapped him I guess. Since Huo Qu you know don't know anything about daily life, when Qin Zheng left him in the road he was killed by a car.

[collapse]

I actually pitied Qin Zheng at first but after I finished the novel, I can't help but sigh and say; Karma.

And the reason why Qinghuang reincarnated and he was so lucky (he's actually unlucky originally), it's shocking but doesn't feel off. Its just so natural. And I love all of it.

5/5 stars. Recommend it if you like entertainment circle, reincarnation, romance. A cute story. <<less

Read it if you are still closeted, its a good light encouragement story.

It won't solve your problem, but like I said its encouraging at certain degree, a tale of being honest to yourself, and be sincere to everyone, MC will give you that.

MC and ML dynamic is fine, but MC who set the tone for overall story flow.

4/5

And the one who give 1-2 star... Dudeee.. who hurt you???

Such a beautiful story...

If you hesitate because of MLs scholar syndrome/ autism tag, DON'T! As soon as he meets MC he comes out of it. This is a wonderful journey of growing love with enough fun and fluff to entertain till the end.

I really love it. This is one of those story where everything fits just perfect. The way MC and ML radiate to each other, the crazy best friends, the wounds that heal, face slapping in an appropriate manner.

Highly recommended!

In short MC can be said to be the true definition of the son of god (Pragonist).

He is handsome, He is full of luck, everyone loves him, He has strong support. He is perfect, without any flaws.

The story itself is light, funny and fun to read. I don't think there is any plot that too heavy at all.

Although there are actually some twists in the MC's last life that are quite shocking and sad.

Maybe if there's something a little bit unique about this story, it was about MCs who mostly take care of ML. <<less

Totally love it!!

Though the story is sweet but kinda plain, it got me hooked up to finished the novel in a day.

... more>> I love how the story had some connection with the past life incidents...... although I saw that coming, it was still pretty nice.

The whole story is focused more on MC God Luck (I also want some of that luck). Everything pretty much went too smooth for MC after his Rebirth. It was kinda comedy as at first MC was trying so hard to be low-key but his luck foil his plan.

Love our puppy maiden heart but wolf at bed ML. I am all soft for pure maiden gongs. His action were pretty adorable in the first half of the story. I love how he was able to change into better, although it actually totally doesn't make sense in reality aspects anyways who cares since this is fictional.

I especially love the Friendship between QingYuan and MC. Their interaction and moment really lit me up while reading. He was such a good friends.

Overall, I really enjoyed this novel but it also kind of left me with BitterSweet taste. Sweetness from MC life and bitterness as not everyone has god Luck.
Spoiler

As much as I love MC coming out and confessing his love...... fans reaction and support, it was only possible because of MC God Damn luck or else if it was replaced by another celebrity, the outcome would have been totally different. It's really sad to see that.

Lastly, thanks to the translator for translating this novel. <<less

I think this story is much more than just a reborn story. The MC regretted not having a relationship in his past life and decided not to act, but

Spoiler

because of his humbleness, he got casted and had to act

[collapse]

Spoiler

I love that the author connect the past life and current life, how the ML has been in love with the MC since past life until now and what connected them.

[collapse]

I love that they both grew up and decided to come out of their own world. They overcame everything together and because of each other.

There is also not much conflict as the MC is basically full of luck (which will be explain later too).

It's a story that is deep but not too deep and is full of fluff.

Forgive me for any mistake as this is my first time writing a review😅 <<less

Having finished this just now, I am feeling regretful because I don’t believe I will find something like this again.
