[He stepped through thorns, experienced life and death, and finally put away all the spikes and defenses, returning the remaining bit of gentleness to himself.]

Yi Chenliang was conspired against by others, and after his death, he returned to twenty years ago and became another boy.

Twenty years ago, Yi Chenliang was fifteen years old, rebellious, and felt that the whole world owed him.

On a sultry summer afternoon, in a dark alley, Yi Chenliang twenty years later looked at his past self on the ground, who was beaten like a dead dog, and sighed.

****

I never loved you before, I came back to love you.

Meeting you, just in time.

I have mixed feelings about this book. While the author has done an awesome job in tying everything together, leaving basically no loopholes, the plot points are all bad cliches--the ones I hate the most. I'll try to write the good and bad points of the novel.

The Good

    • MC and ML aren't some overpowered people. Despite traveling back in time, MC doesn't have much advantage over the whole situation. After all, how can a 15-year old solve something that a 35-year couldn't solve? But he does change everything that he can change. Like his own fate through studying, Yi Chenliang (ML) 's fate by providing him an environment to study and grow up like a normal kid, and his close friends' fate by just helping them here and there. MC doesn't get to exact all his revenges because he was helpless in the past and helpless now. But that's what makes the story believable. After all, the villains receive their retribution eventually.
    • All the main and important side characters are lovely. I was especially shocked by Su Qingbai's character. He was actually the most well-written character in the novel, although you will have to read the extras about him to find out.
    • MC is not some ruthless killer. He's just a soft guy who had to kill for a living. He couldn't get out of that life and he hated himself for it. This personality of his comes across easily through his actions.
    • I also like the fact that Zhao Qinghe (MC and ML's niece of sorts) is a girl. I mean, if a child is born, 9 out of 10 times, it's a boy in CN novels. So, her being a girl brought me immense joy.
    • Well, if you are into self-cest novels, it's a plus point.
    • The funny thing though is that all the bad cliches it has actually work for this novel because of MC's past life. The author has tried to seamlessly join the past and present life together, so these cliches actually make sense. So I'm torn between my hate for these cliches and the author's good use of cliches.
The Bad

    • MC didn't come across as cold-blooded enough when he travelled back in time. Although he acted extremely detached to his family members at first, he immediately throws himself into studying day and night that we just don't get to see how exactly ruthless he is. I mean he just seamlessly blended into his environment without much struggle. It could have been written better.
    • There are all the bad cliches I don't like. For example, high schoolers getting tangled with gangsters, kidnapping by bad people, physical and emotional abuse by adoptive parents, not-warm biological family, confinement by the biological rich father, forced separation, high schoolers getting shot by gangsters, constant hospitalization of main characters and main side characters, etc. Like seriously, they are just high schoolers. Can't they just study in peace? Why do they have to get hospitalized every few months? As high schoolers, why are they being kidnapped and shot? Why are the adoptive parents always abusive? Why are the real parents worse than the adoptive ones? It's cliche after cliche.
    • We don't get to exactly see what problem ML's father was facing to force ML to confinement. Why would a parent want to forcefully prison his son? Why is a government official able to live in Switzerland just because he wants to confine his child. What exactly does he do that he can work overseas as a civil servant? Some of these questions are not answered, so all this forced confinement thing comes out as lackluster. Basically, the author could have taken the story in a different direction than she took it in the story. Things like kidnapping might not have been avoided, because that's when Qi Huo gets interested in becoming a cop and his love for his boyfriend deepens and MC's ruthlessness also gets shown, but this forced confinement situation could have been avoided entirely.
    • The writing is mediocre at best.
Anyways, it's not a bad book, but it's not great either.
