Description

He Bai won the lottery, became rich, and reached the pinnacle of life. Then, he inadvertently took a picture of the Film Emperor Di Qiuhe being killed. And after reporting this case to the police, he was reborn in a midst of confusion.

He Bai: I don’t have any horrible relatives to abuse. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I do.

He Bai: I also haven’t been betrayed or harmed by anyone. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I have.

He Bai: I just want to have some money to live freely and eat well. I already achieved that goal, so why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: I have money, but don’t live freely or well.

He Bai angrily flips the table: So what’s the use of my rebirth! Just to make me suffer again?!

Di Qiuhe (Holding and Touching He Bai): Be my lover, you’re only responsible for eating “lollipops,” you won’t eat any bitterness.

He Bai: Leave!

What a ride it has been! The entire journey was filled with lots of bumps, treachery and lots of warm friendship and fluffy love! This novel fed me dog food left, right and centre but you wont find me complaining though! Thank you translator for your hard work though there were a few grammatical errors here and there that I hope will be corrected! Anyways, enjoyed this amazing story!

I'm having trouble justifying giving this even a 3.

The ML is some sort of annoying man-child. (His actions are NOT cute... they are ANNOYING)

The MC is an idiot for tolerating him at all....

Maybe the author thinks this kind of behavior is 'cute', but the ML needs serious psychological counseling and the MC should definitely avoid that drama.

Definitely a fav. Oh and the DRAMA. The PLOT. Omg where do I even begin! It's so out of this world and bizarre. Definitely finished the novel mostly to find out what actually happened in ML's past.

10/10 would read again

One of the best sweet fluffy stories I have ever read... cute and sweet stories with drama (not between the MC and ML)... More like facezlapping family drama of the ML's side... all in all an interesting read... the last extra was pretty good... a good wrap of a HE... thanking the author and the translator for bringing us this piece of gem..

The ending made me cry. I love the plot. I love how black-bellied ML is. I love that the angst mostly came from the ML's side of the family. And I love that MC is not the one who fell in love first.. This is truly a good read!

Won't reread. Premise is great. Face-slapping too convoluted. Not efficient enough. ML too pushy, doesn't listen. ML apologizes, MC forgives and miraculously think all was great. MC too gossipy, and naive in a bad way, like does he really need to know the motive of every villain ever. I wanna slap ML sometimes but MC takes the cake especially when ... more>>

"he (MC) thought being a war correspondent was not as dangerous as Di Qiuhe imagined, he was not fighting the war"

There are some cute, sweet stuff but there was a point where I thought when will this end. I'd rather have side couples. Anyway, the premise is really great. <<less

Honestly not bad but MC is not my favorite and ML personality is pretty consistent, like with no character growth.

As I usually read historical kinds I avoided this book for months now. When I started reading I dropped it at chapter 33 thinking it was same old, a person going back in time and getting popular with a ML that is overly jealous with family issues. Another reason I dropped it was beacause of the long chapters, but it was just that I did not notice that it was just cut chapters for translating. I totally loved when karma came to the ml's family so satisfying~ My favorite part... more>> of the book was how everyrthing that happened in the past timeline is connected to the current one. The only thing I wanted is hoping to see the couple adopt a child. Overall a 10/10

Spoiler

Another part I like was how the ending was connected with how the couple met at the beginning. Even the ML who died found love

A WHOLESOME NOVELL!!! Our couple combo is funny and full of fluff. It's not love at first sight. There's sparks/confrontation on their first meeting then eventually they fall for each other. ML- gosh I love him. Yep he is childish (MC's childish Di) but mostly he only shows it to MC or on his close bestfriend. He dotes and respects MC.

MC- he was funny okay? Haahaa and it was nice how he gained a lot more experience on his pbotography. His not a character which delays his feelings tot he... more>> other. He made some actions to check his feelings and dod not hide it afterwards. MC's roommmates!!_ best Friends eveeer!!z vry supportive

There will be many twist here. It's not only about rebirth but also talks about a parallel universe. So read it to learn the whole story:)) <<less

I really enjoyed this. There were some issues, but the overall story made me not really care too much about them.

  • the cons: ML was a jerk in the first bit of the novel, but not in a stereotypical ML way. Rather, he was like an obnoxious teenage boy pulling pigtails. Admittedly in RL not something I would stand for, but in novels it’s acceptable. And really, who would take most MLs on in real life?
  • author had no idea about photography or the entertainment circle. Neither do I, but it was still pretty obvious.
  • the family drama got old. It was interesting at first, but just kept circling back to them and inventing new crimes or rehashing old ones.
  • MC was supposedly in his 30s when he was reborn, and for the most part he does act more mature than ML who is like 22, but still childish at times.
the pros:

  • ML improves drastically around chapter 30ish, when he realizes he actually likes the MC. He turns from an obnoxious jerk into a soft boy. He is still immature, and doesn’t always listen to what MC tells him, which causes fights, but they sort it out and honestly that makes it more realistic.
  • the side characters are great! They aren’t hugely fleshed out, but they are memorable, AND there are SO MANY good female characters! The only truly horrible females characters are the ML’s family, which is AWESOME in a BL novel!
  • no side CP, which is a plus for me. Sometimes side CPs wind up being more interesting than the main CP which suck, but this has a two sentence implication in the last ten chapters that maybe two of the other characters could have something going on, and one of MC’s roommates has a girlfriend that we barely see.
  • MC doesn’t use his future knowledge to cheat-other than trying to keep ML safe, which at first is more pity for a guy that you saw die. Doesn’t try and win the lottery, doesn’t try and invest in companies he knows will make it big, just honestly works with his new/better photography skills and takes what comes his way.
  • MC is very strong in his opinions and sense of self, and definitely feels like he is the one in charge of the relationship—no feminine MC here! No ‘wife’ either—just a couple jokes about the boss and the boss lady, which were jokes and not meant to be serious. Sometimes MC being the wife is fine, but it would have felt out of place here, and I’m glad it didn’t happen.
this was definitely a novel where I feel the couple could have very well been switches or where the MC could have been gong, but that’s something I almost never see so it’s whatever.

as far as translations go, the first chapters before flying lines were great, and the first bit on flying lines was okay. Then it swapped translators and the translation was still alright, but tenses change... more>> multiple times in one sentence and they kept using only parts of people’s names—not sure if they were trying to make it shorter or if they didn’t want to add the honorifics I’m sure were in the raws. But I have definitely read worse translations, and this is still completely free on Flying Lines, so it’s whatever. The chapters are cut into multiple parts, but so do many many other translators, so that’s fine—plus I just got done reading a novel where the actual chapters were sometimes less than 1k and never more than 2, so this was better than that! <<less

I actually stumbled upon this in the past and it's a good story, however now that I saw the English Translation to reread it better, it became weird. It's not weird bcs of the story, but bcs of the quality of translations. The chapters were cut which is understandable bcs some chapters are rlly long but it leads to some parts looking dragged out. It also affect the relationship quality of MC and ML and looked like they didn't developed well. Give this story a chance and you'll like it...

I really enjoyed this story. For me the romance was slow (at the beginning) and sweet. Though I have to admit that the family drama felt a bit dragged on and yeah it didnt have much of a plot (well, you know, an elaborate one).

Maybe MC doesn't come as a 30 year old man but I really liked his childish banter with ML because it shows ML feels comfortable with MC (something he hasn't had, except for one other friend) and MC enjoys it too.

Also, they don't always were cliche... more>> in their interactions, like MC being the one paying for the house and ML being the one who cooks (even though MC knows, not expert-level but decent). Yes, wished it could be more present but for me it made them stand up.

Basically, this is a light story because its rather basic plot wise but its a fun and entertaining reading. I get it if you dont like it but if you are just looking for something light, I would suggest this one. <<less

This is an entertaining rebirth adventure. Our MC literally has no idea why he was reborn or what his purpose should be. He was already living a satisfying happy life. He has no reason to make any waves and figures he’ll just start living the life that he already liked sooner.

Enter our ML. Our guarded, childish puppy dog of an ML. He’s fairly annoying at first. But thats all he is. Annoying. He doesnt cross any serious moral lines. And he grows into a partner the MC truly loves.

The world... more>> building is acceptable. Alot of the secondary characters are written to have personalities outside of their usefulness to the plot. The villain’s are pretty standard cnovel drivel with some some brains thrown in for spice. Their hostility to the ML is
Spoiler

ridiculous and obsessive. And scary. And persistent. And mu*derous.

[collapse]

I highly recommend if you want to read a fun and entertaining rebirth mu*der mystery told at the pace of a slice of life “lets just enjoy life and fall in love” novel. :) <<less

It's pure fluff and no snu snu.

He Bai is a sassy character that knows how to punch people with his words. He's mature and a kind person. He knows his boundaries and he's not like other reborn character who will abuse their knowledge about rebirth. He's the character that I've been longing for.

As for the ML, Di Qiuhe. You'll see his progress in the novel. You might hate him at first, but I didn't. Just think about his character profile and analyze it. Don't put fingers on him and say... more>> he's a tr*sh. Observe his character and you'll love him as much as I do.

They made each other complete. Gave warmth and love onto eaxh other. Please beware of the dog foods here and there as you dig down in the story.

Please give this novel time and chance. <<less

I like it but it is a slow burn romance. The author likes to tease the readers with the interactions and how they are not aware of their feelings and stuff. Gosh it was frustrating for almost half a chapter. Then the family drama.

Oh boy the juicy stuff. I'd say it's a rather satisfying conflict but I feel like it felt a bit rushed to me. Sure the whole paying back was satisfying but there are something that lacked that feeling justice is served. But then that just a nitpicks... more>> of mine.

The whole relationship between the two started of rough. ML might feel like someone you want to avoid at all cost but in reality he was one awkward boy who couldn't even opened up or having friends that may or may not trying to take advantage of him. And MC is rather selfish but very compassionate in both relationships and his career.

It's rather seldom that we have two boys who doesn't realize they like each other until atone point they realize on their own that "eureka!" moment.

Even after they got together their chemistry are pretty great.

Ending is pretty well rounded. It has it's touching moments and it is rushed a bit but it didn't hindered the story much really.

I give it a 4.5 for this novel. <<less

This is worth to reread. I like the author, as well as the characters and the plot. This may be the usual rebirth plot, but this is one of those rare rebirth danmei novels where the MC was reborn, but not only to change his life, but also to change ML's life. Also, it is the ML - who wasn't reborn, seeking revenge here and the MC only acts the guide, whereas the other rebirth plot danmei novels is the MC seeking revenge.

Dropped it because the chapter split and the translation.

But I believe it's a great novel. It just that I can't really stand really slow burn romance combined with badly splitted chapter and some error

This novel deserves moreeee than just a 4.3. I have put off this novel for quite a long time because of the reviews saying MC is too naive for a 33 y.o or the ML is somebody who thinks with his c*otch and they are unlikeable. Excuse me?? MC is naive, sure, but he's not dumb. You don't just expect him to be oh so wise or become a plotting god just because he's a 33 y.o man who gets reborn. He uses his photography skill to slowly change his... more>> fate and gains experiences as he interacts with the ML and helps him prevent accidents. They coincidentally meet every 20 seconds? (Exaggerated) Isn't it because the reason MC is reborn is exactly to help ML? Or maybe you prefer to know it as destiny :)

The ML also kind of just falls in love with the MC, but you get to see him realize it steps by step. He gets confused with his feeling, tries to understand it, before he finally understands that it is love. He also isn't one of those domineering yandere ML that thinks 'I definitely have to get him to like me no matter what'. He restrains himself, spends a lot of time trying to figure out the MC's sexuality. The MC does the same as well. As I read I keep finding myself thinking, oh how great it is to have somebody who loves you so sincere and gently.

The only thing I find frustrating might be that the romance blooms quite late, around chapter 57 in the raw or chapter 128 of the translation, they both only discover their feeling then.

This is my thought on the romance, you may think otherwise, but at least try to read it further before giving low reviews. <<less
