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!

I'd give this story 3.5-4 stars as it is pretty good but I'm dropping it at Ch 270 because basically everything seems to be resolved and I've lost interest to see it to the end. I find the ML family drama too exhausting to keep up with. His stepmother is just another 2D brainless villain overwrought with jealousy. And his step siblings are so incredibly idiotic and spiteful. I had held out hoping there would be something more than the dog blood family soap opera, but ultimately gave up.

The upside... more>> is that the main pairing dynamic is heartwarming and comedic. ML is such a wife s*ave ? MC's photography career development started interesting but is too smooth/easy so it got old fast (e.g. Everything he does is just so great and unique, wow never seen before ?) In general, pretty easy lighthearted read. <<less

A story about a photographer's love life after rebirth because he's still single despite his age at his previous life. With a bit of family drama from the ML's complicated family, this novel is 90% all about eating dog food. Get ready for a feast!

This novel is slow paced and well described and written. No unnecessary and repetitive description. The plot is just the same with what you see in dramas on TV. It's not really unique but I found myself indulged in the story.

He Bai (MC) is very logical... more>> and relatable character here, he grabs every opportunity comes to prevent poverty at first. Di Quihe (ML) on the other hand is the sweetest treasure here. Despite of his lame character at the first couple of chapters (where he pretends), later on the story you will definitely love him, he is caring and loves to tease He Bai, It's really refreshing to read a ML who is not a yandere. The supporting characters are well written as well, they didn't feel like air. The villains are just shameless and brainless. I think the story will get better if drama is balanced with the fluffiness and give the villain a good screentime to let the mains to struggle a bit. I mean since the drama started it's foundation, it should be laid good. About the extras, there's a lot going on there and I think it should be long, but oh well... since it's finished, can't do anything about that.

Overall it's actually a great read, despite of the translation's mixed words sometimes, it's pretty good and I like it a lot. I don't normally react when I read romance stories but this made me giggle and smile a lot. Definitely worth it and recommended <<less

The MC is a photographer who captures a mu*der one night and is given a second chance. The rest of the novel is about their relationship and the author trying to give us all diabetes. It's such a sweet story! You have to love it!

This is a 6.5/10. It is by no means bad, we have a power bottom and a gentle ML, but it tends to be a little slow at some points. A pleasant read nonetheless. The plot is okay, the characters decent. There is not many bad things this book has, but it isnt anything that will change your life. The author never claimed it is either, so if you want a soft slow burn love story that wont require your full attention as it is not particularly complex, here you... more>> are. <<less

Well, nothing new in this story. Author just wrote things way too easier for ML & MC to enjoy nicely with such disgusting family background of ML. Particularly what I hate about this novel is "Romance between the leads".. It's exactly like puppy love lol so childish, sometimes I found it so irritating to read and it's nothing funny at all the way both behaves like a choding. And strangely ML fell in love with MC so soon and there ain't any possible explanations on how MC tied his fate... more>> with ML on both the lives (it was mentioned by ML & his friend in 1st life that MC must have owed him much in his previous life to be mascot in this (1st) life but it wasn't explained well).

And mainly author doesn't do much work on details explaining photography well also many important things in the story. <<less

If you get past the first 100 chapters of actual nonsense, then the story becomes a lot more enjoyable, but boy did I struggle to get past the first 100 chapters. I had to double check a few times to make sure I wasn't reading some AU fanfiction because of the sheer absurdity of everything. The plot is mediocre at best, romance is okay. MC is the trusting naive type while ML is repressed yet devoted, nothing too surprising.

I'm unsure if it's a translation issue or if it's the way... more>> the story is written, but the prose is terrible. This is a BL version of the popular "CEO/celebrity loves me" genre and unfortunately like most of the novels in this genre, it's not very good. <<less

Felt like the story was badly written or rushed in translation. It’s a good storyline just felt choppy. Loved the MC and ML. No angst within their relationship it’s just a matter of realizing and sealing the deal. Story is PG no R scenes. Very quick and okay read in between waiting for your fave novel to be translated.

Fluff with a decent plot. This is one of those novels that you read when you're lonely and sad.

Good:

  • MC: I love him, he went through rebirth and used it to his advantage. Didn't lose his adult reasoning unlike other MCs lol
  • Character dynamics: Everyone was a nice touch to the story. No unnecessary story for the side charas. Sure, they aren't shown much but they're introduced in a way you won't forget them even if it's been a few chaps since their last appearance.
Meh:

... more>>
  • Plot Progress: It has great pacing for more than half of the story BUT!! That last few chapters were really disappointing. They built up the issue with ML's family only to shrug it off? Guess they wanted it to end asap lol
Bad:

  • None!
I overall really loved every minute reading this. <<less

I wonder why people leave bad reviews on good books ?? Is it perfect? No, it's not. Was it a good read regardless? Yes, it was. I mean sure, the ML was overbearing and rude the first few chapters but later we found out why and as the book progresses he becomes such a cute, cuddly and clingy puppy.

Spoiler

He was raised by his step-mom and his good for nothing father. They used him, mistreated him, plotted against him and he learned how to wear a mask from a young age. He was always defending against such people and it was really hard for him to let anyone in.

[collapse]

As for the author not having knowledge on photography. WELL..., This isn't a "how to" book. The details were sketchy but they were very believable. As someone who knows nothing about photography and who doesn't really care either way I found the description just right. it didn't drag you into a lesson on how to take good pictures but it left you with the wonderful awe and aftertaste. I found it quite likable ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

The MC I admit was rather childish at first especially considering he was 30something when he was reborn but he grew up a lot after he got together with the ML. And isn't that why we love to read books? So we can witness amazing character development and growth?

The translation was a little off but that's probably because they didn't have an editor. I originally gave this book a 3.5 ⭐ but then I rounded it off to a 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ because of the fluff <<less

I found both of them very cute and easy to like. And when they get together they are sooo lovely! You'll be given a lot of dog food!

Ps- the shou is not the "I'm not gay, Im a straight manly man" which is a plus for me. He accepts that he's in love with a man and doesn't have a problem with it.

The gong appears in the begging black bellied but that's just because he doesn't understand his feelings. Once he does he becomes a doting and pampering hubby.

The beginning is good and unique but then I found that there is nothing special. The romance is supposed to slow burn but I didn't wait for it. Although I like the MC but it can't change my rating. Everything else just an average, a light read in your spare time.

Definitely worth reading. Really love the interaction between He Bai and Di Qiuhe. He Bai didn’t expect that he would embark on a completely different way of photography after he was born again. Di Qiuhe didn’t expect that he would fall in love with a schoolboy who seemed to be a paparazzi at the first sight. But all the courting later on is just sweet and hilarious.

This novel is simply wonderful. The fates of our MC and ML have been connected starting from the moment of the rebirth of MC. This book is full of sweetness and fluff. Definitely a breath of fresh air from all of those angsty novels.

CUTE!!

Characters: 5/5

MC is rational and smart, he's very talented but it doesn't feel like his golden finger is overpowering. I like the way he calmly handles troublesome situations and his expert relations with people in the messy industry. ML is so awesome, I'm in love with this character. SO funny and cute, just too mengmengmeng. Their relationship is really funny, it's built slowly although started by "fate"; they bicker and tease and it's just too cute. Side characters are also very good, only chapter 30 so far but I feel... more>> like all the characters have been developed very well.

Plot: 5/5

True to story. Better than I thought it would be from the synopsis. Basically, MC accidentally took a photo of the mu*der of a Film Emperor. Suddenly he travels back in time to when he was a student, and meets this Emperor himself. MC mostly takes it in stride, but there is some questioning of "why was I sent back in time" and we see them building a relationship amidst family and industry drama.

Writing / Translation: 5/5

No complaints <<less

Frankly, it's great ! I love this "fate" between the MC and ML. The rebirthed MC can't escape... I guess that he as reborn because fate remembered too late to match them. You can only say that betweek theses two, it's fat... ality !

The ML said it himself that the MC was sent to be his golden finger. They are such luckywarm to each other !

I really recommend this novel. I never met more cuter ML and he is a professionnel misery's seller ! You can only love him !... more>> And the MC, well, you wish him patience. <<less

OMG! It must be one of the best BL novels I have read, humorous language, flow plot with twists and turns. He Bai’s life is so dramatic. He becomes a rich person for winning lottery, six million RMB in his bank account. Then, he experiences rebirth and only has six hundred RMB. Haha... I feel bad for him! So hilarious!

This story is not your typical rebirth story where the MC is abused to dead, then rebirth to take revenge on the abuser.

It's like the title said, a useless rebirth. The MC just suddenly rebirth with no clear purpose whatsoever. But he meet ML in this new life and might have been indirectly helping ML to move on with his life and career.

MC and ML personality balance with other, where MC is more of a sunny personality and ML is more of two-faced and white lotus kind of personality.

It's a... more>> good read, and kinda addictive when ML is dealing with his oppressors <<less

One of my favorites; doesn't rely too much on the cheats provided by rebirth or the ML. Although this story doesn't really provide a believable lifestyle (or work/job) of a photographer (nor an actor, for that matter), it's still able to express something of a love for photography and taking photographs and the fascination and passion for it. Not the best out there, but the plot and MC's personality is enough to make it stand out from all the others, or at least enough for me to remember some of... more>> the details from this work even a year or two after reading it.

Also,

Spoiler

I kind of have expected that MC's death had something to do with ML's death in their previous lives but I wasn't able to figure out exactly how it happened. It was explained close to the end, of course. The MC was just a collateral damage from the ML's family's infighting, and died after having drunk a poisoned/drugged (?) bottled drink that was meant for the ML. He died after presenting photographic evidence to the police that ML was pushed from the building (?).

In summary, with MC's rebith, he became the ML's lucky charm.
