Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Li Zhao is a poor, 20-year-old actor who only thinks of where his next meal is coming from. After growing up in a child only facility, Li Zhao has taken on a very optimistic personality even while raising money for those he sees as family.
On the other hand, 28-year-old rich businessman Yan Ting is super pessimistic.
Yan Ting: Life is no fun. What is the difference between life and death?
Li Zhao: Life is very happy.

But that isn't the case. If you bring such serious topics into a novel, then it loses the right to the lenience a simply feel-good story would get, which made me lower my rating to "generous" three stars. The author decided to use severe mental illness and serious crimes as part of her world building, and it was handled respectfully, authentic, I had high hopes for the development and final conclusion.
Unfortunately, both topics were basically cast aside, degraded to cheap plot points, especially the mental illness aspects. Love does not cure mental illness, it does not heal severe trauma. This too is clearly one of the concepts the writer just lost interest in, or dropped it in favour of shallow drama and fluff. I was so surprised by the care and accuracy the author showed for these matters, it's not often that a Chinese novel handles them like this and I suspected that the writer did some serious research about PTSD... then threw everything out of the window.
ML just declared that he was cured, by MC's love, and that was the conclusion, his therapist hadn't been mentioned for half of the novel and really never came up again, ML simply went from having visual and auditory hallucinations, depression, severe dissociation, and potentially dangerous possessive tendencies to completely healed in the blink of an eye, without any kind of professional help.
Something I'm still very unsure about is, that several people stated ML to be a violent madman, they show genuine fear of being mu*dered, but we never hear about the reasons, even ML thinks MC would be afraid of him if he knew, yet it seems he never really did anything violent (???)
All we hear about is him cleaning up criminal family members, in the sense of sending them to jail. Either the writer has a strange fear of justice, or something doesn't add up.
I assume this is a plot point the author dropped in the middle of writing, it's another important matter that was left to die but still used every so often.
This is the same for the rebirth/premonition side-plot, it makes no sense whatsoever and adds nothing to the story apart from a villain so s*upid that it makes you wonder how they survived for so long.
Some points are stated again and again at fairly random times, I can't tell how often I skipped whole, or several, paragraphs because they told the MC's childhood story for the 100th time.
In addition, the amount of chat-logs is hard to stand, if a good portion of a chapter is nothing but fans fighting each other online, then I can't see it as a novel – it's a chat-fic.
Of course, this is a personal dislike, if you don't have a problem with it, then you might enjoy these large sections very much. The characters.
I have mixed feelings for the MC, he seems innocent and s*upid but really isn't, but then he is unbelievably dense when it comes to love, so much that this 20 years old man seems more like a 10 years old child.
It felt like a clumsy attempt to prolong the romance, for me it has gone too far to be enjoyable, instead it was frustrating. Side characters are likeable, some are flat, others flashed out enough to be entertaining, sadly they were often forgotten for long periods of time, only to pop back up out of nowhere.
They hardly exist when the MC isn't around. ML is the biggest problem, he's by far the most interesting character but the author failed to do him justice, at the end most of his setting was an empty plot device.
To highlight his good points, he respects MC, never forces himself on him, (sometimes) recognises his own behavioural problems and tries to be better for MC's sake. There isn't much to say about the romance, it's purely focused on fluff, consensual and harmonious. It's hard to decide if I would recommend it or not, from an objective standpoint, there are too many flaws, especially when you are someone who takes mental illness and childhood trauma seriously, or are fond of consistency. My main problem is that the story tries to be light-hearted, I smiled a lot while reading and the feeling it gave me was often pleasing, yet duo to the very heavy subjects the author uses at plot points, it was so unbalanced that all good feelings were drowned in misery with no satisfying conclusion, which caused me endless frustration and disappointment. If you can overlook these flaws and focus solely on the happy aspects, then this story might be a perfect mood-lifter.
If you are sensible when it comes to trauma, mental illness, or expect immaculate development, then this novel isn't for you. My personal final conclusion – a lot of wasted potential.
Song Yu is the matchmaker of our couple. Due to his making MC the main lead and giving him night snacks, the circumstances led to him meeting the MC. Plus I love himmm! He's such a tsundere!!! He's the type of character we see as MCs of some BL sometimes and I love him so much. This tsundere cheeky brat. He even apologised for the bad things he did sincerely and he was so awkward making friends!!
Xu Bei, that tr*sh was the malicious one and am so glad he got beaten up good by Li Zhao!
Anyway, it made me cry a lot that in the past timeline YanTing commited sucide and Li Zhao died due to his body deteriorating as he pushed himself too hard to film to find him family. It hurts me so much that he would've been bullied so much, stepped on and taken advantage of and there was no one to help him. Thinking about Yan Ting mental health that led him to sucide gives me nightmares.
I am so glad that they met! Thank you Song Yu! Thank you rebirth!

- The side characters were again super wholesome people! I loved how much the housekeeper and assistant Qin cared about Yan Ting and how nice and tight lipped the people in the office were. Li Zhao's friends from the welfare home were so much like a family!! And about Li Zhao's family

I highly recommend you all to read it to cleanse your souls and wash your eyes. The world is a beautiful place and precious babies do get their happiness in this novel! Read this heartwarming story whenever you can!am so glad his parents found him in this timeline! They were so sincere with him and searched for him for so long!!!
they dont get into a relationship until like ch80 to 90?? So like the so called romance is quite slow. However the interactions between yanting and lizhao is so damn cute that I can forgo the fact that they got together at a later chapter hehe
