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, Ji Sheng was a popular star who was framed and eventually died in disgrace.

Reborn as an 18th tier artist, Ji Sheng is determined to take revenge. In order to climb to the top of the world of fame and fortune, he does not hesitate to send himself to the bed of Xie Xuanming, his enemy in the previous life.

Xie Xuanming is handsome, rich and can be considered a perfect lover.

It’s a pity that there is a white moonlight in his heart.

On the first meeting after rebirth, Xie Xuanming squeezed Ji Sheng’s chin and narrowed his eyes.

Xie Xuanming: You look like him.

Ji Sheng: Hehe, I knew it in my previous life.

One day, Xie Xuanming was drunk and crazy, dragging Ji Sheng to visit the white moonlight’s grave.

Xie Xuanming hugged the tombstone tenderly: I knew him for several years, but he never loved me.

Ji Sheng: Hmm, no love, no love.

Xie Xuanming stroked the nameplate with the tips of his fingers: Obviously he approached me first and my heart was stirred, only to find that he was playing games.

Ji Sheng: Yeah, acting, acting.

Xie Xuanming: Come closer, let him see. It’s not like I am alone, it’s not like no one wants me.

Ji Sheng had no choice, stepped forward and froze.

Ji Sheng: Wait, isn’t this my grave?

I find it hard to read as the flashbacks kept happening very often so one can confuse the past and the present very easily, many would find it annoying and confusing at the same time. Personally, I think that the past MC should be Ji Sheng and the present should be referred to as Ji Hui to not confuse it since we all know that Ji Sheng was reborn inside Ji Hui's body.

As the translator said the story really gets better as you keep reading, if you leave out the parts about forced intimacy and s*x.. but I really didn't hate it that much ... more>>
Spoiler

since the MC already prepared to sell himself to the ML at the beginning and also the MC reactions are not so repulsive every time it happens

[collapse]
so I'm fine with it and it's the only parts of the story which show their intimacy..... But I think this would have been the best if we could get even just one chapter of smuts.....

And yeah it's a slow burning novel, but the slow pace is not boring at all compared to other slow burning novels. and this is really my thing since I usually get easily bored with fast pacing romance it makes me feel like the novel should already be over since the two are together and they feel draggy..

Generally, the novel is really good highly recommend it... <<less

The writing/translation is sleek enough, but the content is morally problematic. Romanticises r*pe and imprisonment by abusive ML. Rebirth is wasted on doormat MC. Mental illness is poorly represented and gratuitous violence is handwaved. 3 stars.

The tl is good, tho I'd say it's a pity the spice was not included due to inability to find the scenes.

The story revolves around a dead drummer who transmigrated into a younger look alike, some time after his death, and his desire to uncover what actually happened to his original life. The premise is interesting, and I did enjoy it until smwhr close to the end, even tho it has some obvious plotholes, but then the ML's chara gets run into the ground when the author decides to turn... more>> him into yandere light for no rsn. There is the male yandere tag, as I see now, but due to lack of actual yandere behavior until so late in the game, it just doesn't vibe like a yandere novel. He does act unreasonable while unaware of MC's identity, but the original host was what he was and did what he did, so that much in understandable. Close to the end tho, some time after the MC being alive again is discovered, he r*pes MC, and acts extremely abusive and toxic which is very unlike his previous behavior. And the tags for s*xual abuse are nowhere which is why I am not putting the spoiler cover over that, so people would know that it has r*pe, and aren't shocked by it. The spice scenes are entirely missing, as they weren't part of the book and were just on the authors weibo, but r*pe is r*pe, and afterwards ML feels great satisfaction and no regret, very much in the style of this is owed to me, this is what I want and what is overdue. The one old friend who is a decent person is the sanest of them all, and I 100% support his stance
Spoiler

of saving the friend who is a victim from their abuser even tho they are unaware or in denial about said abuse

[collapse]
he was right the whole time. MC is great, but blind to people, gets some awareness after everything he's been thru but turns into a fool again and gets with ML. The scum is shameless and makes you wanna jump into the book just tp slit their lying throats.

All in all, starts off and goes well, until that positive impression is overturned for 0 rsn, so I gave it a 3 cause 2 seems a bit harsh when it has enough good points. <<less

I haven't finished this novel yet, but I have to say I am already attached to the characters. In substitute themed novels, the substitute is usually the one who suffers the most, but in the back story, the focus is more on the ML's point of view, and I really find that nice. The parallel scenes and objects from the past and the present were also well done. My heart goes to the ML, this cunning but pitiful wolfdog. His story and the reasong why he fell in love with... more>> the MC really resonated with me. 🥺 <<less

The narration is very engaging and enjoyable. It's not that boring since it immediately delves to the scenes and things escalate without unnecessary details.

But I would really like to know what the MC actually thinks? Like what he thought of ML who's in severe depression cause of his death, or this friend that remembers him cause of their similarity with the new body and scolded him when he was alive, or even his fan before that also cried cause she remembers her dead idol.

I'm starting to think I mistook this... more>> for a revenge story lol. The issues, no matter if its regarding his past self or present, weren't solve. Will it ever be cleared up to the fans/public? Idk. Also, this is a lot darker than I thought. <<less

Honestly it was a bit difficult to read this. Not because the writing is bad but because there's been so many bad things happening to the MC (both past and present) that it became a bit tiring. I love the concept of an unlucky person reviving in another person's body (Professional Body Double, Flying Ash). But this was just hard for me. MC was treated like a celebrity (not in a good way) because everything he does becomes a damn rumor. Lyk, are these ppl so bored? Why are they... more>> so interested in this small time drummer. <<less

Really don't like that there's no clear distinction between the past and the present. The flashbacks happen in the middle of the story but bc the characters' names are the same you get confused on why they're suddenly like that only to realize it's a flashback

I'm dropping this book at chapter 30. It's sooooo, meh. I can't go on.

So basically MC is someone that gets reborn in another person's body. And ML is someone that liked the old MC and looks for his image in everyone that looks familiar. MC gets close to ML to find out more about his death... But then that's it. That's all the good stuff. From there it's random band bickering and flash backs and crushing on each other. I'm dropping this at c30 and I don't even know who... more>> the villain is. And who their accomplishments are. It's random talking and plot holes that's supposed to be funny but instead I find it annoying and frustrating.

Maybe in future chapters the author will come back to their senses and continue with the original plot.

It's just too boring now for me not to consider it time wasting. <<less

I dropped this novel at chapter 40 mainly because the story is so slow and there's nothing exciting about the plot and almost zero face-slap in that 40 chapters since the ML is too powerful no one can touch the MC at all. Another reason this novel is boring for me is because I find the MC really boring and with a boring MC, I couldn't invest my time in finishing the novel. If the MC is boring, the story is pretty much over. Honestly, I kind of even developed... more>> a hate/disgust feeling toward the MC in that 40 chapters to the point that I felt like he deserved his death and for what good karma he had to be able to be reborn was not worth it to waste it on the MC... his death is on himself. Normally when I read rebirth story, the author makes it so that the readers will empathize with the MC for his death and support his rebirth/revenge but this story I don't even care that the MC died and who wrong him I almost feel like because of his bad personality it's no wonder people want to use him and kill him. After death, he did not change at all and remained as blind and selfish as he was before death so there's really no point in giving him a second chance in life.

Also, when the story goes into PAST MODE, it gets really boring reading about the past so I always skip it.

The only good thing about this novel is that there is not a lot of weibo comments. Some entertainment/show biz novels consist of only weibo comments. <<less

Enjoyed it. Flashbacks occupied more than half of the story and started all of a sudden like jump scares. Though it might seem normal to others, the whole 'forcing business' didn't sit well with me. Overall was a good read.
