“Then why don’t I marry you!” Yu Dong suddenly proposed.

“You…” Xia Feng thought he had misheard.

“You see, you’re looking for someone to marry to ease your mother’s heart, and I also want to get married. We’re right in front of the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and with all our papers too!” Yu Dong exclaimed while holding up her red household book.

“And the most important thing is that we just broke up with our exes. This is fate, ah!”

Right up until they left the Civil Affairs Bureau again, holding a newly registered red book, Xia Feng remained dazed still wondering, how did he end up getting married?

Did he just pick up a wife at the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau?

What Xia Feng doesn’t know is that Yu Dong traveled back in time from 10 years in the future.

Now, having a second chance in life and able to secure a good husband, Yu Dong will live her life at full throttle and without regrets.

Most novels when doing the sudden marriage trope and rebirth trope usually involves so much drama that leaves the reader emotionally and mentally frustrated. This one doesn't for the very simple reason of Yu Dong not chasing after revenge by harming those who wronged her but instead she chose the other option of dealing with them as they come towards her.

Yu Dong's gentleness and kindness isn't the holy mother type but rather one forged from experiencing the hardships of life. Years of experience molded her allowing her to be kind... more>> and gentle without allowing people to step on her. This makes her quite likable to me, Yu Dong had used her knowledge of the future not for the usual self-gain we see in rebirth novels but rather for something everyone one of us wants; Happiness and Companionship.

At the same time Xia Feng is likable as a male lead and main character because unlike other male leads where they exist to show or highlight the MC, Xia Feng is very much his own character. Grumpy Crab showed how Xia Feng is like without Yu Dong, how he is around his friends and family. The thing that most authors fail to do is to make their characters human while being at the top, this is especially prevalent in modern rebirths where common sense and morals are things we are more familiar with.

Xia Feng's sensibility and maturity endears him to the readers with how he acts towards Yu Dong during and after they got married for his mother's sake. Despite putting his ex in a bind by giving an ultimatum, Grumpy Crab redeems him by showing his acknowledgement that he was in the wrong and accepted his ex breaking up with him. Where other novels would ignore its main characters flaws, Grumpy Crab doesn't and instead acknowledges it, and makes the characters acknowledge their flaws and learn from it.

Befitting from a cast that is filled with adults and young adults.

The beauty of this novel lies not in the romance of Yu Dong and Xia Feng but rather how their relationship with other people, their interaction with society affects their relationship with each other. Xia Feng and Yu Dong reaches a better understanding of their selves and of each other from observing and seeing how the other interacts and treats those around them. Which is how we really judge and learn about those we like.

Xia Feng and Yu Dong's love isn't the burning romance we always dream of but instead that sweet romance that slowly warms our heart. Grumpy Cat perfectly writes the kind of love that is grounded in realism and one we knowingly or unknowingly hope for; a love that understands and warms us from the inside, to quote Yu Dong,

" 'I'm waiting for someone who can put a stop to my loneliness. So that when I listen to sad love songs with them, it won't make me want to cry.' "

Therefore I would recommend this novel for those who need a pick-me-up, an inspiration for love, or simply wanting to take a break from the harshness of reality. Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau delivers a soft and warm love story, filled with comedic interactions, and envelopes the readers with gentleness and heartwarming story with each chapter. <<less

It's a wholesome novel. Every chapter progressed smoothly didn't look anything out of place or Forced. The novel depicted not only just main characters story but others also. This was my first time reading a novel with many nameless character with their small stories. It was more realistic.(︶︿︶)

I definitely like shameless-bold protagonist and MC was that. Liked her too much. She was dependable, intelligent what you would expect from a career women with 10 years of experience. ML was what we call gentleman who was ture to his words and... more>> emotion. He, knew what he wanted not confused to accept his actual feeling, a completely good adult. Their relation progression wasn't abrupt. It progressed step by step quite realistically. Something like how things happen in arranged marriage. They fall in love slowly but surely.

⁽⁠⁽⁠ଘ⁠ (⁠ ⁠ˊ⁠ᵕ⁠ˋ⁠ ⁠) ⁠ଓ⁠⁾⁠⁾

Supporting characters were also good and Novel showed a strong bond of friendship which made me envied.
(⁠^⁠∇⁠^⁠) ⁠ノ⁠♪

Give it a try if you want something to heal you! If you have a good mentality you would surely enjoy it but the prerequisite is to complete it! (=^O^=) <<less

Such a cute, fluffy, enjoyable book. There's a little bit of drama, but it's mostly solved right away. If you're looking for a sweet, light-hearted story to brighten up your day, you won't be disappointed with this. Otherwise, I would give this one a miss.

I love how the MC make a decision to try pursuit her happiness with enter the marriage itself. Eventhough at the beginning she choose the ML because she know that ML would be success in the future. But I love to read how their love slowly grow. MC live her life to the fullest and give it all to learn love someone and it turn out her decision is not wrong as the ML give a feedback.

okay I have never reviewed before like critically or formally? mine are always full of my own thoughts and opinions in a more not-a-review way, if you understand it...

but okay, this was a really fluffy novel and I just love the MC like too much. I love her character that she is not entirely this 30 year lonely lady. but she was able to rekindle her passion and fire with ML and try to make the wrongs she did in the past right again. I also loved how it neatly... more>> transitioned from them trying to accept that they are married and then they like each other, at least to me I felt like it was not that forced and was natural. I didn't feel a lot of difference between when they were just married to when they started to like like each other, because either way I was getting fed dog food from the start anyway. Another thing is how both of them don't reject the advances that they do to each other and actually understand and communicate well.

THERE WAS COMMUNICATION which literally solved the non-existent fights and misunderstanding really well.

I also thought the author portrayed the mentality of the a future and a past person really well. But, sometimes I did wonder whether the late 2000's was really like this, because the whole time I felt like reading a novel that put after the 2020's, I'm not sure how to explain it oh well.

Another thing is I LOVE HER FRIENDS like too much, I would even like a spin off on the relationship of the yueyue couple cause their story also seem really interesting.

ok that's all for this not-so-review, but I beg you guys to recommend me some other novels that are like this with no misunderstanding, no fights, COMMUNICATION, and no other cliche love tropes (love triangles, break ups and getting together, and having this whole second lead and love rival). <<less

I like this novel, it was fun to read. I don't remember much since I finished this already 2 months ago.

I just saw it now while looking for new books and realize I haven't write a review yet.

WORTH READING. (If not I wouldn't have finished it)

Hands down top of the list when it comes to modern josei in this site. Only rebirth of the malicious empress can compare to this one if cultivation and historical josei novels are included. Maybe top 10 of my list in my 3 years of reading novels (finished more than 50 series including Jap and Korean novels) I always go back to this one Everytime I get tired of the action and scheming in cultivation novels.

I'm more of the "leave bad reviews to save potential readers pain" type of commenter, but I felt in the mood to reread this novel recently and it's as good as I remember. I really cannot recommend this one enough. It's a slow, naturalistic development. Not necessarily just romantic, but both characters gradually growing and maturing as people and in their relationship.

What can I say. There is a quiet warmth to this novel. It's a nice thing to read on a rainy day. Low stress, philosophical about life, just pleasant.... more>> It's not really ground breaking, but it's a quiet, pleasant read that is worthy of your time. <<less

This is a novel about a fluffy couple and a great life after rebirth. However, it’s not all it has. This book has it own emotions. It is true that the love between the main characters is the center of the story, but there are a lot of more than that. As a Chinese, I can say that the book talks about the situation of a woman in the modern society in China. Family forcing their daughter to marry and have child, or their criticism on single mother are... more>> all engraved in Asian culture. As a part of them, I can only sympathize with Yu Dong and Ren XinXin.
Furthermore, the love between the main characters are really close to the truth. They teach people how to protect an long lasting relationship in a world where everything is moving fast.

The situation of An An and ML is also very true. Nobody are like the overbearing CEO of those marisues, so is our Xia Jeng. It’s not like he doesn’t want to cut off ties with his ex girlfriend, but there relation is too complicated to just end with one sentence. The antagonist in the story is not a btch. She just can get over those feelings and situation like everyone else. So when I was reading, I did not dislike her, in contrary, I sympathize her.
In addition, there is so many quotes and inspiration in the novel. They really warmed my heart when I was reading.

Ps: I cried in the end. <<less

Single dogs beware, this is supreme-grade dog food.

The MC is funny and direct, but sometimes she also acts rotten spoiled and not her mental age. The ML is a robot, doing anything to pamper the MC. They are very sweet, but it becomes unrealistic.

The love story lacks depth, it ends rushed and with many avenues left unfinished (reincarnation, family matters, the dubbing business, her friends,...)

The main reason I finished this is her job as radio host. This is where the story shines. She discusses dark themes in a funny... more>> way, giving life advice and setting the mood.

In the end I rate this 4*. It is written well, funny and the radio story is awesome. But I would have liked it more if the MC would have to personally deal with the mental issues from her past life - not loved by her family, thinking she is not good enough. Instead those get transported onto others whereas she just gets dropped an A+ husband who loves her from day one. She doesn't have to fight for anything. Everything in her world is rose tinted. <<less

Seriously I just love this novel so much!

As we all know the basically stereotype of jerkMjerk and s*upid FL, the jealousy, misunderstandings, love triangles. Well, nothing of this happens like this.

Truthfully at the beginning I thought it was a very unreal situation, but as the story goes on we learn about their feelings, circumstances and suffering. It's the kind of history that I find extremely realistic, which surprised me.

... more>> The side characters all have their own 'selves', they're just a background wall for the main couple shine. A non-toxic novel.

In the chapters a caught myself laughing and 3 seconds later crying, not because the novel is full of drama, but the histories the autor autor created, I sincerely like this novel, hope you enjoy as well. <<less

I was about to comment 'Awesome' book but stopped myself after seeing the last comment lmao.

One of the best rebirth stories I've ever read and one of the very rare stories where I love the main characters to the core and also their friends.

P. S. The last extra made me snort! HAHA!

Short read, but this just enabled me to binge everything in one night. I would definitely put this on my reread list for when I am craving a sweet and straightforward romance.

What sets this modern rebirth romance apart from other webnovels:

    • FL seeks to rewrite her past where she learns from her mistakes and proactively takes steps toward a life that she is happy with. She does not depend on her knowledge of future events to further her agenda. She instead carries her wisdom and judgement into paving a new career path that brings her fulfillment.
    • She slowly changes herself from being a cold and lonely corporate worker in the past life to a capable friend and compassionate human.
      Spoiler

      Ex. She speaks up at one of her best friend's engagement party to save her from a falling down a path of abuse, cheating and depression and offers continuous support with her friend's decision. She also talks a boy out of committing su*cide on top of a building and influences him to put his talents to good use (he has very dark and morbid dreams that affect his thoughts and FL points him towards turning his stories to movie scripts). There are definitely more examples when she motivates multiple people and offer actual useful advice on her midnight radio talk show.

      [collapse]
    • The pace of the romance is slow but built upon with a strong foundation that reminds us all what good fluff an slice of life looks like.
      Spoiler

      They start living in separate bedrooms and don't see each other often bc of work scheduling. But slowly, FL grows used to the comfort of having the other person around and ML take interest in her personal life. Even when they finally do the deed, their deep feelings are well established.

      [collapse]
    • All of the relationship issues and misunderstandings between ML and FL are dealt with tactfully and realistically. Even the ML's ex-girlfriend is given enough of a backstory to portray her as more than just a 2D villain. Yes she is a jealous woman, but given how her relationship with ML ended so abruptly, her actions are justified and ML's response/actions are rational and suit his character.

A light hearted, funny yet philosophical, and mature romance that is totally worth the read!!

Yu Dong, our MC, is a 30 year old mature, sensible and somewhat cynical businesswoman who's done pretty well for herself in the entertainment industry, but not so well in her personal life. So when she finds herself back in her 22 year old self, dumped just before getting married to her then-boyfriend, she takes a chance to do things differently!

(Which is where the summary comes in - yes, I was just as stupefied as... more>> the ML at reading it)

Her marriage to the ML, Xia Feng, starts off in the typical Strangers to Friends to Lovers manner, with both of them being roommates and support systems for each other in handling some family matters. The relationship progression is so well done, that it is a genuine joy to read!!

Strong female friendships, genuinely good coworkers and random stranger-encounters that impact life in small but significant ways - this story is a treasure trove of simple teachings and character development.

The best thing though? Is the utter lack of petty drama.

Yu Dong lives with the principal of 'do your best and enjoy life', and truly, that is the best message that could be given in this quirky and humorous story! <<less

I just gotta say the selling point of this story for me was the mc's personality. She's your ideal tough woman who can deal with the problems her way and moves others. I feel like I've also lowkey became her radio fan throughout the story, I just love listening (reading??) the parts of her at the dj station lol.

The rest of the cast are also realistic characters. The relationships between them are very natural. I also love the mc's girls friend group and how they deal with situations.

overall, just really... more>> enjoyed it. :) <<less
