like MC's ability with music which was hinted since the first chapter, so it's not a surprise that he ends up striving in it (tho it is a bit cliche it's not bad cliche bc it's nicely done). MC also knows he has no business ability so he doesn't try to pretend otherwise

ML is also a really good businessman bc he started really early, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have times when he struggles

It may seem s*upid but the fact that Qin Man (the girl who chases ML at the start of the story) was not made into a villain or a big obstacle to the main couple. Usually, these characters are discarded rapidly once they show up or they blacken and s*upidly try to get the person they love but Qin Man is much more than that. She just fell in love with someone who never loved her in return and she didn't try to push too far. She becomes friends with MC and once she learns about their relationship she doesn't try to childishly sabotage it.

The first time she saw MC (after he publicly confessed to ML), she said it would take some time but she'll definitely get someone better to love haha

Mo Yu is also an interesting character who knows when he missed a chance and knows when to let the past go so I was really happy when he became friends with MC instead of blackening or being forgotten after two lines.

with MC, feeling like an imposter (bc he's not the original one) the more he gets attached to this new life, and fearing to reveal to anyone that he's from another world, and ML just not used to communicate with anyone because he grew up not trusting anyone, with no friend and circled by his power hungry relatives

MC reunites with his brother (who is now known as Su Cheng) which I was so happy for bc I didn't want one of his new brothers to get erased instead. I mostly liked the fact that his appearance didn't bring any unnecessary drama (it did bring a lot of jealousy for ML tho haha)

MC and Su Chen are both still close but they're not their everything like in their past (miserable) life

Su Cheng could have actually transmigrated in Qiao Zhen's body because he nearly got the parents hesitated between Cheng and Zhen

Also, MC starts to feel like an imposter the longer he interacts and gets to know his new family and he eventually confesses to his (new) dad. Turns out dad already knew he wasn't the original bc he had a dream the night before MC came about everything that should have happened. Dad has had time to grieve for original body of MC and Dad considers MC as his son and they cry together lol especially after he tells him his original life and that his brother is also here now

Su Chen also tells him that their parents (in their first life) actually looked like current Dad and (deceased) Mom before they died

Towards the end, there's a power struggle at ML's company and he might get evicted so she acts all sweet with MC (who wasn't aware of anything since he doesn't go much online) and complains that ML these days doesn't eat well so MC should go give him lunch directly at his company now. Obviously MC accepts and goes there but ML is in a meeting and instead of being happy when he sees who arrived, he gets angry and sorry without explaining. MC then understand that ML's mother did that to show every shareholder at that meeting that MC's family is on ML's side, and they're supporting him against that Li something who's ML's opponent.

So ML's mother actually did that without saying anything to MC (even tho he would have agreed knowing it) knowing that it would anger his son for using MC as a sort of bargaining chip. But ML is the only one angry and MC (who's thankful for ML's mother and a bit angry no one told him anything (others actually assumed ML already told him lol)) even goes the day after saying loudly in the reception that he came to see his boyfriend haha

When everyone tries to get close MC once he starts to get popular and people brag with pictures of them with MC on sns, she posts pictures of her son and MC so others will be jealous of her haha

Like when ML saw MC talking on the phone with his "sworn brother". ML raged with jealousy and just grabbed MC causing MC to drop the phone. He held MC, not letting MC move and keeping MC from picking up his phone. ML was crazily jealous of MC's "sworn brother", so he didn't want MC to talk to him, even though the MC's "sworn brother" was very worried and thought something happened to MC when he heard the phone dropping. Plus, MC and his "sworn brother" were on the phone discussing something really urgent at the time, but ML didn't give two f*cks. ML didn't want MC to talk to his "sworn brother", so he held on until MC was starting to get really angry. (I say it was MC's "sworn brother" because the guy was MC's actual biological brother in their past lives, but they aren't related in this life, so they tell others they are sworn brothers)

ML approaches MC by pretending he wanted to be "friends" with him and uses the excuse that MC's his only friend to do various things for him. This one I don't really mind too much because he really couldn't come onto the MC too strongly because that would've scared MC away, but a few things here and there were manipulative.

MC gets jealous because a famous actor who likes ML takes a role in ML's project in order to get between MC and ML and steal ML away. What does MC do? Instead of directly telling ML that the actor has shady intentions, he pretends to be the actor's fan and acts like an obsessed fan in front of ML to make ML rage with jealousy and not give the role to the actor. MC did this knowing how jealous the ML can get and how much his actions can affect ML, but MC didn't care about how he would make ML feel. MC just cared about venting his anger on ML for hiring a guy who was in love with ML (even though ML didn't know about this) and MC's own pride, because MC couldn't let ML know MC was jealous, because "it would be too embarrassing" according to MC.

MC promised to have s*x with ML for the first time, but when the time comes, he's actually quite tired and not completely prepared mentally. Instead of talking it out and discussing it with ML, MC pretends to be drunk and make ML worry about him and take care of him.

Su Cheng, though he has no blood ties in the novel story, is actually his 'real world' older sibling named Qiao Sheng. The character his original older brother transmigrates into is a 'shadowy' underworld boss that seems quite OP, and seems much stronger than the ML, lol. So of course, wanting the the MC to have the 'best man', it's a pity he can't end up with Su Cheng now they're not blood related.

This isn’t directly implied in the story, but I suspect that the entire Qiao family in the original story was calculated and killed off. The strongest indicator of this is that the MCs dead parents are revealed to look like his new parents. This begs the question: what else is similar? This plot seems like less of a world inside a book and more like a parallel reality. If that is so and his father was just as rich before death, what happened to the inheritance? How did these two come to practically live out of a bar? If the inheritance was stolen, it wouldn’t be shocking if the perpetrator decided to make the two brothers disappear. Their deaths are a sudden illness and a car accident. Qiao Zhen hasn’t had such a random terminal illness. It doesn’t seem natural for Qiao Sheng to have such a thing despite the bodies being the same. A different soul doesn’t seem like it would effect someone’s physiology. Of course, I could be wrong. Qiao Sheng grew up in a bad environment which could have impacted his health.
