Description

Despite having found Mingxi, the Zhao family continued to favor the fake daughter, saying that Mingxi was not as kind nor as graceful as Zhao Yuan.

Mingxi didn’t mind. She continued to work hard to please her family although they would always say that she was trying to rob their attention away from Zhao Yuan.

Until she died because of a terminal illness.

It was then that she realized that Zhao Yuan was the actual lady blessed by luck while she was merely this novel’s evil supporting character with a tragic ending.

Zhao Mingxi who was given a second chance at life was bitterly disappointed. She no longer cared about her family. Screw her family and her fiancé. She immediately packed her bags and left home, off to complete the task given by the system named ‘Becoming Friends With Popular and Valuable Characters’.

After she left, the house suddenly became cold and quiet.

By right they should feel at ease, but–

Her parents, her indifferent elder brother, her brash younger brother, Shen Liyao who was used to her pursuits were all successively feeling… unused to it?

Similar premise to “Spending the Villian’s Money to Extend My Life.” It was a nice novel with a decent amount of both character conflict and fluff. I liked how the problems were balanced, and I also really liked that neither character was super OP. Despite these factors, I do think SVMEL is slightly better, but this story is still worth reading.

The relationship side was cute, albeit kind of juvenile and generic for a high school cnovel, but the switched at birth family drama was mind numbing. I skimmed everytime her awful family was mentioned.

I'm so over switched at birth garbage in cnovels.

This novel would have got a little bit higher rating from me had that part of the story been removed but not above a 4. As it is, it gets a 3.5 from me.

Usually I have a hard time finishing a novel and halfway through, I start skimming the chapters. Butttt this novel was really sweet and fluffy. It had me hooked til the end.

The plot wasn't too heavy. After being reincarnated, the MC decides to break off all ties with her family who she found 2 years ago and decided to focus on preventing herself from getting cancer by freeloading off of the MLs luck. Then they both fall in love. The ML gets jealous easily but he's super sweet to the... more>> MC. They get married and have a son. <<less

Entertaining story about FL who is transmigrated into a story as the villainess; she is even accompanied by a system that rewards her for engaging in villainous acts. However, she somehow subverts the system and changes the plot and her fate. Fun twist on a tired trope. The romance is slow burn and ancillary to the main plot.

It's a really funny story. Had some really sad moments in it too. More like a slice of life, not really fantasy like with her chance to relive her life.

I enjoyed this story because of the sweet tsundere ML and the calm FL. Their relationship is just so fun to read.

I admit that I also enjoyed the faceslapping moments for the Zhao family. I did feel bad for Zhao Yuan though and hoped to see a story where both daughters get a better ending. The Zhao family is worthless and useless and I had hoped to see more sorrow and faceslapping.

But FL deserves a better ending and her life with ML is already super great. Along with her new... more>> friends. <<less

Very nice, satisfying faceslap of the family. FL has definitely her own personality and makes a clean cut but at the same time you can feel how affected she was by the past too, and isn’t magically better all of a sudden even after the bad luck halo lifts, plenty of descriptions of her hard work and convincing herself to not get distracted.

The romance is cute, but I felt by the end author was dragging along the story too much that would’ve fit in extras instead.

Is worthy reading.

The MC is very real. The ML is like others said, the best boi I have read, he is so imperfect, funny silly and good. The romance takes time but is real and very nice.

One part I really like is when MC says ML that she is sorry for his suffering, but he reply that everyone is like that. His is, his friend is, and she is like that too.

I laught most of time. The sad parts can be hard, but is OK.

It's a great read. One star is missing because of the romantic dynamic between FL and ML which takes so much part of the story is not to my liking. I'm more intrigued by the family conflicts than the romance. It's the family conflicts that made me emotionally invested and stay to the end. I'm going to be honest, I kinda pity the Zhou family. They seem genuinely regretting for what they have done, but at the same time I truly understand why MC becomes so cold to them and... more>> feel satisfied that she can free herself, live the life with the ones who really appreciate her. Anyway, it's really satisfying to see what author did to villains. They deserve that.

Thanks to author and translator!!♡ <<less

It was fun to read. I was excited to know what will happen next every time I read the chapter.

Love seeing the relationship between them. Light high school romance, cute and fluffy. Also with some drama and heartaches with the right combination. I love reading this!

Totally recommended

This story had the most satisfying absolute best face slapping of any novel I’ve read. I lived for those chapters... I mean: *chef’s kiss*

I think the ML’s ptsd was handled a bit unrealistically, but it’s a webnovel.

The pacing was excellent- not laboring over every single event and the translation was also very good.

I highly recommend this. It’s definitely on my reread for the face-slapping....

Reading this was such a journey and I love every part of it!

To me, I consider this as one of the best romance novels I've read. It doesn't have an extremely unique plot, it has its cliche moments at some point, but the very romance aspect of it was made so good that I really enjoyed reading this. I've read a lot of romance novels but there are just a few that really stood out and I personally think this is one of those.

Again, the plot itself may not be... more>> the best but the romance and chemistry between our MC, Zhao Mingxi, and our ML, Fu Yangxi, is the cherry on top.

Many might say otherwise but I really loved this one. I love how tsundere ML was at their first meetings but when they got together he's so clingy and possessive but in the cute way. He doesn't want to hinder our MCs choices so despite being jealous he tries to stop being too controlling or whatnot.

Our MCs family is of course a different matter. I love this novel in general but that Zhao family can suffer for all I care xD. I admit there's a part of me that wants to see them reconcile just so that Mingxi can experience being pampered by her family, but the large part of me also doesn't want that because that would mean that she'd forgive them at some point. And I don't think they deserve that forgiveness.

Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GOOD ROMANCE NOVEL. It's another question if you'd like it, but I loved this so I don't mind what other readers may think of this. <<less

All in all, nothing is really going on, it's just that the author is good at making the readers empathize with the characters. I mean, there's not much substance but the (main) characters are so likable that (I) we root for them. Plot holes are everywhere~ You can even drive a car without bumping your head and being thrown around.

... more>>
Spoiler

What happened to Fu Yangxi's mother and adopted brother who is also his cousin? (I don't exactly remember his name because he would pop out then disappear out of nowhere). What's with Jiangyu and He Yang (Fu Yangxi and Zhao Mingxi's friends) They had that ambiguous interaction when all five of them hangout that summer, they're riding motorcycles so Jiangyu put a helmet on He Yang. What happened after? Is there like a side story/ spin off about them? What happened to Zhao Yuan in... You know...? What about her mother in... yeah? I have more questions but it isn't as important as I have stated above.

[collapse]

Ranting ahead!!

Did you actually read the story? Before proceeding I have a warning, read Chapter 1-5 (?) then Chapter 21 again and again to get my points, enjoy! Why was it that Zhao Yuan's a victim? She knew that the Zhao Family didn't set her aside after meeting their daughter, Mingxi, who wasn't with them for FIFTEEN FCKING YEARS. She knew yet she didn't say anything and instead continued to manipulate them to have their eyes only to her. Why manipulate? Who tf would lie in the living couch pitifully if they weren't deliberately wanted to get attention and coaxed? How is it Mingxi's fault? She is entitled to be envious because... she literally didn't know about her parents for, idk, FIFTEEN FCKING YEARS. She's only fifteen, what do you expect to a fifteen year old? It's already a good thing that she didn't try to hurt Zhao Yuan and instead tried to please her family. What's worse? Her family only felt her presence when she didn't offer her services. She's a masseuse, cook, disciplinarian and a naive, country bumpkin in their eyes, not a daughter. To the people saying that it's "offensive" or hurtful to other adopted people. They literally gave all their love to the person they thought was their "real daughter". Then, they gave more love to their "daughter" so that she wouldn't feel abandoned while their daughter that they didn't meet for fifteen years was being hopeful to have a harmonious family and craving for their attention. After that, their "daughter" knew that she was being favoured over the other daughter and out of all things, she manipulated them into giving more of their attention to her. What's so hard to understand?

Another take, why isn't anyone saying about Fu Yangxi's situation? His backstory is darker than the middle of a long tunnel. This novel is actually a cry for help. Their relationship (Mingxi and Yangxi's) started with a misunderstanding, it's so frustrating that I'm tempted to beat them up but Ke Chengwen isn't any better
Spoiler

Ke Chengwen isn't any better.

[collapse]

I liked the first 30 chapters, who tf likes this kind of angst? It's annoying. If the FL and ML were not lovable, I wouldn't even continue this. Good thing my heart persevered until chapter 43
Spoiler

until chapter 43.

it was funny but her family is really something else and that's what put me off a bit. If not for the hilarity of it all I wouldn't finish reading this story no matter how short it is. But it came through in the end so I guess it was okay.",)

Absolutely adorable. This was such a cute romance, it didn't feel rushed, forces or anything. It had a nice development and Fu Yangxi is best boy nobody will ever change my mind.

The translations are fluid and comprehensible it never affected the pace of the novel.

10/10 would recommend to read to alleviate the heaviness of the heart.

5/5

I absolutely love, love, LOVE this novel! It had me giggling, kicking, and screaming under my covers when I read the all the adorable interactions and thoughts of our ML and MC. It had me crying and sniffling at all the heartbreaking moments. And it made me so angry but cathartic at all the right moments. It is by far the best child-swapping novel I've ever read and is in my favourites list for sure!

Both the MC and ML have scars from their tragic pasts but the way they heal... more>> each other makes my bitter heart believe in love again. There is no toxic misunderstandings or mannerisms from either the ML or MC. They are both so freaking adorable is makes me giggle just thinking about it.

I would 100% reccommend if you're in the mood for a fluffy and sweet light-hearted romance, with occasional sad moments...I found they only made the love that much sweeter. <<less

I think I know why this story got a high rating. This was arguably one of the best child swapping novel that I've read so far. MC was decisive from the start and she chose to live well for herself without looking back. She didn't bother to take revenge and focused on improving herself and getting rid of her back luck due to Zhao Yuan's heroine halo.

I also love MC's interaction with ML. When she knew that she loved ML, she actively took initiative to get close to him. She... more>> also always protected ML like a mother hen. ML was a bit tsundere but he really treated MC well. He wasn't rap*y and was always considerate of MC even when he was burned with jealousy. He always took MC:s side whenever something's happened so MC placed him above others in her heart. If I must say, I think he was one of the best ML out there.

The ending was also very satisfying. Although in the end, MC didn't end up forgiving her family but she now had a family on her own and was very happy. <<less

An Absolutely Wonderful and Heartwarming story.

Our MC is Forever tough with her decision to be away from her so-called Family was one of the Best thing in this novel!

She doesn't softened or whatever. She deserve to break free from those people who had wronged and neglect her. No matter they (the 'Family') realise their mistake, beg for forgiveness, wanting her to come back, and not being brainless nor evil at least, our MC is worth more. Realise her life worth more than just stay with them. That the so called... more>> family doesn't deserve her. And it's WONDERFUL!!!

Another wonderful thing in this novel is our ML. The Absolute Flawed ML; Narcissistic, Tsundere, but still so very thoughtful toward MC. Let MC make her own decision. Try his best to make her Happy as well.

And even when he found out he misunderstood her feelings toward him, his actions was mild and somewhat adorable. And sure useful to make MC also realise her feelings toward him.

He never thought of anything bad about MC. He believe in MC's good personalities. Still defend her even when he tried to distance himself from her. Still so caring even when he was jealous.

Our ML is truly Lovable as a Character and then a Love Interest! He's Worthy!

The rest of the story are Great. Great and Fun Supporting characters. Story flows. And Lovable Extras! Sure there's Flashback extras, but the rest are totally Lovely!

This novel is Worth my Time and my Eternal Love! I'm LOVING IT!!! <<less

This was a great story to read to pass the time. The translators did a great job and I couldn't have asked for better.

The story is about the FL realizing that after she died from cancer that she was a side villainess character. She is reborn and given another chance at getting a better ending than she got by freeloading off the good luck of specific characters around her. That's how she meets the ML character who was actually one of the best MLs I've ever read. He was kind... more>> and understanding towards her but not to the point that he became a doormat.

The romance build-up was great to read, they were so cute as friends and great as a couple. The side characters while they weren't anything special were entertaining to read. I liked that the FL stuck to her guns when she makes a decision she sticks by it.

All in all, give it a read if you have time to kill it's not too long only about 75+ chapters with extras that were interesting to read. I'm glad that we got to see what happened after she died in her 1st life. Most stories don't show that anymore for some reason. Nice read. <<less

Great read. The story have alot of sweet fluff, innocent love and drama. Both cp have a lot of trauma in their past and they both found each other (albeit by “ luck“)and healing each other. Love their silly banters and sweet first love fluff, I love the author plots for the family’s redemption or atleast they reflect on themselves, but there will be no what ifs for them. Villains drama is a bit cliche but very down to earth type of plot which make it more realistic... more>> rather than over the top kinda s*upid, dramatic type drama dog blood. Overall love the flow, plots, and the ending, very well round written. Recommended read for those love sweet silly 1st love feel with a bit of drama. Thank you <<less
