Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.In his previous life Bai Lang was a small star. He rejected his boss and foolishly engaged in a relationship which he thought was true love.
He didn’t expect that he would get betrayed, die of a heart attack and trouble his boss to accompany him on his last journey.
After his rebirth, he decided to give up on true love. As for his boss… since he wants something then just let him have it.
So this little star after his rebirth collected his boss, and then it became a true love story with his boss.
In between there are good friends/love rivals/scum men in the mix. A sweet story with a happy ending.

- The story, it is not overbearing and no complex malicious schemes, there's no much detail but it is still acceptable to read from the start to the end.
- The main plot is clear, and the plot filler is well balanced and connected to the main plot.
- The characters are growing up from chapter to chapter. Definitely an adult figure, by age description, physically and mentally.
- I waited and started to read from ch. 30-something. But surprisingly, when I re-read from ch. One to the last main ch. There's a clear difference of their relationship. It's not a sudden from 'business only' to 'romantically in love', but it's portraited indirectly how they genuinely fell in love with each other.
No story is perfect. But this would not disappoint you, at least not me.-
- In line with being realistic, the face-slapping events were not exaggerated. What I also like the most is the people's IQ is alright (in some novels, people's IQ were deliberately lowered which is so annoying).
Dislikes:-
- Too many "however"s and "after all"s in the translation. The story was properly conveyed but the repeated "however"s made my eye twitch. In fact, after a dozen times, I read this word as "but" to avoid extreme redundancy in my head.
However, overall, the translator/s did a good job.
Touched My Heart:-
- New family and second chances. If I'm going to say more, I'll be spoiling things too much.
Overall, it is a GREAT read that not only revolve in the dark side of entertainment industry but it also features friends, family, and MC's deserving rise to fame. I... I... I love it.- The couple: I tend to like relationships without too much drama and misunderstandings and this is how MC and ML are.

- The kid: I really can't think of a single other child in novels that was as cute as this one. He wasn't one of those dumb high IQ children who act cute one moment and then act like adults the other, or those eyebrow raising children that for some reason know what a romantic relationship is and for some other reason are convinced they need to help (read: interfere) their parent to catch a life partner. This one was an honestly silly kid that said some funny things from time to time.
Now what I didn't like:I also liked that the MC told ML about the first life.
- The couple: yes, I didn't care much for their relationship past a point. It's sweet. But that's it. My favorite part of a romantic relationship is usually the development but at most this couple had a slightly lukewarm stage and slightly sweeter stage. That's really it. I could understand why MC developed feelings pretty early in the story, but I couldn't understand why ML was so devoted since the beginning when the most they did before the kid appeared was the horizontal tango. The ML acted mostly the same from beginning to end so I really couldn't tell whether there had been a transition of feelings from lust to love.
- The characterization: it's kind of bad for all of the characters. They feel very shallow. The side characters are kind of a non-existence. Even the main villain is kind of a non-existence, not much of a threat, not present most of the story, could have been written off entirely and nothing would have changed. Su Quan had more of a presence and I suppose he served some sort of purpose but at the end I almost felt sorry for the guy, just enough to feel kind of hollow with the conclusion of his story and only satisfied with the face slapping for about two seconds. The lackluster everything of the side characters kind of affects the main characters too, because these two people practically didn't have a social life before meeting each other. You meet ML's friends for one scene and one ends up to be

, the other two kind of disappear into obscurity. I don't think there's any talk of ML visting friends ever again, like he doesn't have any, like there's no side character with enough personality to fill that role. The MC is kind of the same. He has some friends in this life (who are there only for convenience rather than for any type of actual friendship development) but the only people he mentions knowing from his past life besides ML are his parents and the main villain... How am I supposed to understand this? That he lacked charisma so completely that there was no one willing to befriend him, is that it? How was he a star again? Maybe that the villain in jelousy didn't let anyone approach MC, but I doubt it, because there doesn't seem to be that much depth and forethought put into this.
- The worldbuilding/setting: I don't know if "Superstar Aspirations" has spoiled me, but wow was there nothing happening in this showbiz world. I don't know if it was the lack of details that didn't do it for me, but it felt like the MC hadn't even started his career before it came to a stop followed by timeskip. There wasn't much anticipation for anything, not his acting, not his single movie and single drama before timeskip whose plots were never explained, not his fanbase or anything. The only thing happening were the scandals involving ML and MC that felt about as threatening as a fly. It felt like a coincidence that this was a showbiz world, but nothing would have changed even if it wasn't, because showbiz wasn't the focus of this story. At all.
That's pretty much it. Despite everything I enjoyed most of this. I skipped some parts. And I'm not reading any of it again.the ML's almost ex-lover, a villain, Su 'digging his own grave' Quan
- Three notions: road to success, revenge, finding true love. Sounds cliche right? This novel uses those, but shapes a different type of story, more logical and down to earth. Unlike many OP MCs in other stories, our MC at first is heavily burdened by his emotions, he is lost, which covers the first darker part of the story. He decides to pay the debt of gratitude to only person who mourned him and at first accepts a "deal" with ML. And it's pretty organically woven into the story of their emotional growth from deal to lovers. MC in this new life at first is entangled emotionally, but slowly steps on the road to new life, realizing that he is wanted, he is loved, he can have new life and be happy.
- Main storyline revolves around human drama more and although it's within the circle there's limited text about MC's works in filming, but more around big and small events. Yet the fast pace of the story allows you not get bored. I'm pretty impressed that within mere 60 chapters there's so many events actually and all the aspects of success/revenge/find love are completed.
CHARACTERS:- MC. Bai Lang is more of an elegant and clean type, soft and kind-hearted. But not an annoying white lotus for sure, since he also bears a sense fo strength about him. It's just a really warm character actually. It's sad to see him played in past life, but it's more described like he's just a person who couldn't see things at first, but mostly couldn't do anything later, he made few wrong choices that strongly backfired at him. He's not OP, due to systematic repetition of similar roles he couldn't grow as an actor in previous life, he played whatever to accumulate fortune and help his family. But now he can try to play what he wants and grow.
- ML. A rouge. You'd think at first. But he's the epitome of a player who'd be really loyal when he finds the right person. His character exists organically in this story. He's more of a ruffian and free-spirited than most 'regal' type due to his origins, so events and his actions sound more suiting in the story. They're basically opposites of each other, but really compitable together with MC.
- Secondary characters: Qiu XiaoHai - ML's son, yes, I think it was a good part that ML had life before MC, it's more natural and real. I pretty much don't understand why ppl make a fuss if someone had a dating experience before, like what's the big deal? So QXH takes a big part of the story and emotionally connects to both of them. And he's such a cute little bun. Kang Jian - an acting class "classmate" that caused MC's scandal in the past life and kept trying to entangle himself in this life too, living in his fantasies that MC actually liked him as well, but in general he's just an ambitious person with small vision. Su Quan - I lol'd at one review that praised him, as people who finished this novel won't feel good about him. His actions against Bai Lang alone make you understand what type of person he is. And many other secondary characters that come along. Good thing most of them are not dropped and forgotten, ppl who have some storylines all have their own closure.
I found it a great story with a great relationship. Emotionally I was... more>>
