It’s good. Feels a bit like a bl Eight Treasures Trousseau, where the romance is mingled in with the court intrigue. (Only ML is obsessed with MC from the start. And for a real reason.)

this felt like exactly the right amount of fluffy and weighty. ML is respectful and pampers the crap out of the MC. And the story felt satisfying because there was enough plot. Still, I guess I agree with the reviewer who said they felt a bit empty, like it wasn’t satisfying enough. As far as... more>> bl goes there’s a lot of crap, (not as much as the b/g crap but still...) and this is not one of them but I do admit I wanted a bit more of something I can’t exactly define. Maybe because the ml’s insecurity never really went away and the MC never seemed to treat him quite as sincerely as he was treated? An epilogue really could’ve helped that.

Speaking of, the ending felt slightly abrupt. I wish there was an epilogue set like 15 years in the future, with the son grown up and ready to become a leader, the brothers all close again, and ml/MC still deeply in love and ready to set off on their trip. Mostly I wanted to see far in the future where the ML no longer fears losing MC.

But that’s icing I suppose.

Overall, good read. ☺️ <<less

A very satisfactory read. I find this couple the cutest and most adorable in the novels I've read. Also has a very unique setting and is exceptionally well written and translated. There's everything - Humor, Passion, Love, Revenge. It's perfect.

I read this novel after read two heavy angst with HE. Not bad. Uplifted my mood. Good plot and characters. Tbh, I don't care if the characters attitude are cliche as long as it has a good plot and HE, it's good for me.

When I first saw this novel and found out how it had better rating that 'The general loves to collect little red flowers' I really didn't believe it.

Because the description was not that appealing. However I still gave it a shot just to see why this story had better ratings.

Started at 9am and now it's already 00.41am the next day.

... more>> This story was soo good that I spent the whole day reading this book and couldn't let go till I finished it.

Not only this story is funny and fluffy it has good world building and the ancient setting was very well portrayed. Loved it. ❤️❤️❤️ And the heartwarming interactions between the two leads made my day.

the translation was so well done and the humour is perfectly preserved by the translator. A very good read <<less

I tried.
This is probably one of my first historical novel that I read without really getting annoyed much.I don't like historical ones like really I hate them. Too much ridiculous plot and conflict, ridiculous changes of intimacy between the ML and MC like really I'm done with these plot holes then there will be a freakin twist blablabla.

This one is different tho.I'd say I really didn't hated this one nor liked it but still I got shocked on how many chapters I read because when I read historical I expect to quit from the 1st chapter. This one is not boring and the ML and MC s*xual activity are all consensual.

I liked how they interacts and treat each other.I still don't like how the MC keep calling ML his majesty whatever maybe this is one factor why I hated historical because I mean like you guys are married and you call each other as if you are an acquaintance and stop with the goddamned hierarchy it gets on the nerve.

Still I didn't last long and quit but I must say it was really interesting but meh I still can't handle historical and hated them so haha.

After I read 33, I gave up I really can't with historical, so I jumped through the end then quit. Sigh I don't even understand why people enjoy BL historical novels....

Rating 3.7 / 5.0

A balance of revenge and sweet love story. The plot is alright.

But the ML is just to OP (except his berserk mode which can be controlled by MC), basically nothing can happen to him and he protect the MC well. So, sometimes it become dull as the MC almost do nothing aside being ML tranquilizer and baby bearer.

However it still an enjoyable story, with many politic here and there.

This was sooo good.

I feel people found it unrealistic that Song Song had everything go his way. It was mostly with little to no problems in the plot. I think, it's fair. He had such a bad previous ending in life, so I loved that the ML dotes on him and tries to spoil him. It's like all the angst was at the very beginning before rebirth and all the sweetness and dog food was the story left for us ?

It was too cute!!! Would definitively recommend reading this when... more>> you wanna feel happy, and feel like getting revenge on all the bad people in life. <<less

An overall wonderful read!!

The MC and ML mesh together well. The MC is not a pushover and the ML is not too overbearing. If you like doting ML, this one's good. The MC and ML unco ditionally support each other.

It's simply a very fulfilling read to read a harmonious relationship. And also the revenge aspect was okay, not too dramatic. The risk never really felt high. This had the potential for more drama and angst, but it didnt dwell on the past too much. Rather, the entirety of the story... more>> felt optimistic? As long as the MC and ML stood side by side, they were invincible. <<less

Very good read. Beautiful translation.

This novel is what you call just right. Not too much but not too little of comedy, fluff, intrigue and sadness too. You will feel all the emotions while reading this and also feel gratified for the MCs by the end of the novel. Also even though chapters are less and I was able to drill through this over a weekend it left a satisfactory impression.

kudos to the translator

An absolute delight in my opinions...

First, I appreciate the translator effort on this. They are using Google Doc which is no issue for me. I just want to relay my big thanks to them.

I read lots of rebirth and found this as one of those gems.

... more>> The relationship development is quite fast but considering both of ML and MC is rebirth so it is acceptable.

There's a lot of injustice been done to both of them in their previous life but the killing of their son is the trigger of the MC rebirth. He swore of revenge for his son and when he's rebirth, he want to make that child again.

In his new life, MC desperate wish is to have the little prince again.

It cute when MC believes that they successfuly made the little prince in their first try just like in their past life so, MC strongly reject ML wish to be together after that but when he was told there is no baby yet and wish to be together with ML. Now, it's ML turn to play with him.

ML who is a mad prince whose fears by many is actually a softies when he's with MC.

They do not just focus on revenge but also enjoying each others love and building relationships.

The story is not fast paced so it actually an enjoyable read.

I am curious to know if they will confess of each others rebirth or not, so far as I read, they relay past experiences as dreams.

I am not far onto the story yet but so far it got me hooked.

* writer note at the end chapter is absolutely adorable... <<less

A good story about double rebirth. MC and ML's interactions are somewhat cute. However, everything is common and predictable. And what disappointed me is the ML. Sometimes, ML's actions are really unreasonable.

Still this one is good. Especially the ending. I like the idea that MC and ML did on his enemy. Because of rebirth, some of those villain really didn't harm them so the ML made an "alternative plan"

This was good. Nice translation and lovely plot. I love MC and ML character development. I love their progress of love for each other.

I only hate the ML's Father. WTF how can you let her slide.

I pity the child. Neglected and having grow up faster due to his mentally insane and jealous father. Yikes. They should have not a child if that is how they raise him.

It is a typical story of a rebirth which mostly the premise has a common plot as other rebirth novels do. However, it does not lessen the joy feeling when reading it. If you quite like reading stories which have fluffiness, then it is worth your time to shelve this novel. The translator did really a good job translating this, which makes you able to follow the flow of the story smoothly. To put it simply, I love this novel.

This is a really great, fluffy read. It has everything you need from some face smacking to fluffy moments with the MC and ML.

Not only that, but the characters actually TALK to each other. And the ML while a bit possesive is not a rapist/manipulative bastard. There isn't much suspense but the novel is perfect for relaxation. Another bonus is the fact that there are no loose ends by the end of the story! Everything closed, each thing was explained, it is basically a breakthrough for chinese novels.

The only downside?... more>> There were a few similar names and once or twice I was confused who was who.

The translator did a great job as well. <<less

I read it all in a day. I did not sleep and still wouldn't stop reading. This is so damn cute. The dynamic of the MC/ML is just the cutest thing. It was a little unbalanced, but my God did I willing shove them dog food down my throat willingly.

A relaxed and not to heavy a read. There's good face slapping, though predictable, was satisfying.

It was a good read! Though I hope that there was more, I think it's good how it ends cause the mc's matter are already taken care of anyway. So if it continues it will just be a repetitive story of MC and ML scattering dogfoods anywhere.

I would've also love more moments in there past life where Song Song was still a ghost. Imagine a ghost Song Song nagging and chasing Li Xiao and Li Xin around-- cute right? I mean its a sad thing but the imagery is just... more>> too cute xD.

MC - docile and mature. Too obedient that he doesn't dare to be jealous or have tantrums. Badass if necessary.

ML - well, a tyrant (and quite cute? XD). Sooo inlove with MC. The title of the novel isn't lying (It's just that there was no diary involved jk. Hehe)

Awesome novel, awesome translation! I was hooked the moment I started reading it (ꈍᴗꈍ). Really, give it a try. But there's this one matter that still bothers me:

Li Xiao and Li Yang's matter, I want to know how it ends. I want to see them reconciled. I want a happy Li Yang.·´¯` (>▂<) ´¯`·. I hope there was a closure for this one. <<less

Cuteness and love overload!

Plus refreshing revenge with no antsy parts!

Add that with a little comedy from the shameless ML and cute/clever MC equals a well-enjoyed novel.

I loved every bit of the novel, 80% on love scenes and 20% on plotlines.

Gives you a nice refreshing and touching feeling at the end of the novel. ^_^

I loved it. There is this sense of gloom the entire novel and the ending feels quite full circle. I liked the way the royal family was written and the political intrigue for once didn't really directly involved sibling rivalry. I sometimes wonder how stories with wise emperor having sons fighting for the throne and this story sets the example, a wise emperor raise his children well. Only the immensity of the malice in people's hearts was a confounding factor.

I don't really like the ML but there are far more... more>> worse MLs out there.

MC was so miserable in his last life my heart broke for him. I'm happy for how his life turned out after his rebirth.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the story and the translation is really good. It was a good read. <<less

I'm giving the same rating as I gave "The Rich and Honorable ChangAn”, but I'm just going to clarify this: this book avoided a lot of 'plotlines' that I really found to be really. F*cking. Infuriating. In The Rich and Honorable ChangAn.

I wouldn't necessarily say this danmei is better, but I prefer it much better than the horse sh*t I had to go through with Nan Xi from The Rich and Honorable ChangAn.

But also:

... more>>

Spoiler

ML has a female 'concubine'. She isn't really important; ML gets rid of her quickly and apparently she wasn't even the ML's official concubine??? I was so confused by that entire thing. But anyway, thank f*cking GOD there wasn't anything annoying that involved her

[collapse]

<<less

Thanks for the hard work translating~

I really liked this novel I would say this was a 8/10 for me.

I'd say theirs 2 or 3 downsides I didn't like was that the male lead was a bit petty and jealous a lot for s*upid reasons. I got confused on some of the revenge things I don't know if I wasn't paying attention but I missed something on who actually killed the prince, that was also happening with other storylines I was getting confused but that could just mean I'm dumb LOL.

this... more>> is a face slapping novel and ofc based on the tittle theirs alot of pampering for the shou. I don't really like face slapping novels but I guess this was doable.

What I loved about this novel was the passionate romance I'm sad that there weren't no spicy smut scenes otherwise this would have been a 10 and I could have overlooked everything else LOL. I also like the fact that they like liked each other and in a relationship relatively soon. The MC I feel like has a good balance of character he's not a complete doormat but sometimes I feel like he's too soft and that could be annoying but that's only toward ML that's understandable since that was his personality in his past life you can't completely erase it no matter how vengeful you are.

I like when couples go through problems together and not the whole it takes 100 chapters just for them to get together and ending the novels is them finally being husband and wife. I sometimes think that's really s*upid because the relationship just doesn't end when they get together you got to go through problems together and develop deeper love.

there is consent, the husband was completely whipped by MC. I really liked all the pampering it was good overall I will reread it, and I recommend it. <<less
