This was really a novel of mutual healing to become a better person for ther other. Both MC and ML both are burdened with pretty severe baggage from their past, and get triggered on and off by some situations. However, they are there for each other in all these triggers and due to wanting to be a better partner "worthy" of being with the other (even tho they are already worthy enough ofcourse), they get over their fears, step by step, hand in hand.
To me, this novel is really rare as healing novels tend to be either MC heal ML, ML heal MC or if both have past issues, one part of the CP's issues will be greatly taking lightly to support the plot in helping the other side get over their fears. I really liked how we can see step by step, how invaluable MC is to ML and vice versa in their journey in overcoming their past traumas and looking forward to their future together. I didn't get the feeling that anyone's issues were sacrificed for plot or suddenly the character development was disjointed.
MC and ML worked hard to get to where they are today, they were already on their own path to self healing but was just lacking someone by their side to be there through thick and thin. And thus, they have became that 'someone' for each other.
MC is someone who is trying his best to go through life alone, yet slowly but surely achiving his goals and also enjoying his hobby through being a VA. ML is a someone who went through things as a child that left him lasting effects that still happen as he navigates through life. Thrir dynamic is one of mutual support as I mentioned but MC is kinda the one who wears the pants and makes decisions whilst ML is a quiet but loyal dog hubby who's more than happy to wag his tail quietly by his wife's side and quietly accompany him through life.
Also, the side characters in this story are just adorable. Plus points for brother noodles' coolness and sleek horse's commedic effects. Recommended!

This novel is one where MC is reborn to the past and takes steps to guide ML to the "right path" to rectify the regrets he had whilst in their relationship in their first life. MC spares no effort in doing so and is willing to try several methods to smoothly achieve his goal. Ofcourse, because he is a reborn person, he tends to get super possessive of ML as he sometimes get lost in the interactions in the past life despite any developments in the relationship department as of yet, tho ML falls pretty early in (he cannot resist his wifey).
However, this way of tying poison to carrots is really effective for ML. ML is the type who takes soft but not hard, so this indirect way of doing things is really effective.
Slowly but surely, their relationship develops into a better state than the level they were at in their past life and also resolved regrets and issues from their previous life.
Side characters are really precious and adorable.

Really nice novel with a touch of rebirth. The rebirth is quite an important factor in getting the story started but not super dramstic or anything.
MC is clouded by his past and was unable to walk out if it and thus decided to give up on his dream altogether. He struggled alot at firstbut with ML andsome others, he boarded the bus of being a professional eSports player again.
ML uses his golden finger to avoid major troubles for his team but unexpectedly picked up a cute Samoyed along the way which stayed by his side for the rest of his life.
Romance wise it was very gradual and smooth as both ML and MC got over the idol barrier and together with their shared "golden finger", come to trust and care about each other.
Side characters aka team mates and other team's members are also very lovely.

Unexpectedly really very enjoyable.
MC is super straightforward in character, be it his responses, needs and wants. Due to that, in some ways he can be quite shameless, the #1 in acting cute and seduces ML 24/7 with his words, actions and body language. However, I feel that this is a 100% fit with ML and the reason why they got to where they are today as ML would have never given their relationship a chance without MC clinging onto and bugging him 24/7. (ML secretly likes his shamelessless and even misses it later on hehe). MC is also very good at his craft, which is cooking, built his own chain of restaurants and thus doesnt need to rely on ML for his career (well maybe except some investments to quicken the profit making process and brand expansion). I also really like how he knows exactly what he wants and takes no nonsense. He knows how to slap the faces of people who try to take advantage of him and treat people how they treat him. If you're good to him, he will be good to you. If you want to steal his things (ML included), he will rain hell on you.
ML is abit overwhelmed by MC in this novel and doesnt have much action other than transforming from a tsundere to an absolute wife s*ave who is also cosplaying as a wlking and talking vinegar vat 24/7. No one can even think of his wife in a romantic light or he will stare at you like you killed his whole family...MC is HIS BABY. He is quite a good hubby tho, pampering his wife as he should and taking care of people well.
I must warn that this is an mpreg story so yes they have a biological kid. MC is somehow some special species of a human male that has a womb but isn't a ger...
Recommended to read to drown in the fluff.

This novel has been A RIDE.
The story of the little madman and his chaperone. The chaperone is someone who can shine on his own but always forced to a stop just before the finishing line. He carries countless baggage as he truds his way in the muddy waters alone, failing to reach the light at the end of the tunnel year after year, slowly falling into the abyss created by his own hands.
At this time, little madman reappeared in his life and with his willfulness and strength, dragged the chaperone out of the shadows and back towards the light. He filled the holes in the chaperone's dull life and pulled him singlemindedly to the goal.
In the midst of that, the little madman and his chaperone got together and he found out about the baggage the chaperone was carrying singlehandedly. He forcefully takes on the baggage so the chaperone can have a well deserved break to heal and get back on his feet.
Finally, after healing, it was time for the last lap to the end of the tunnel yet again. This time, the chaperone is not fighting 1 vs the world but as a team vs the world. The team took on a part of the baggage and together, they made it and finally won the championship, freeing the chaperone from his shakles and allowing the little madman to continue being by his side, till the day they both retire whilst dropping a nuclear bomb on the audience.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a nutshell, that is the summary of this wonderful novel. I spent over a year reading it as the translations stopped about 10~ chapters from the end and I didn't look for another translation hoping it would continue but i'm glad to finally know the ending between Close and Quiet at last.
Characters other than Close and Quiet were very cute as well, with the 3 small ones in FTW, ex team mates like Marshal, HE, Mr Highflower who gets lost in the maze, Captain Jiang and also others like G and many more.
I really liked how the story progressed as we find out the past and what really happened to Close and then see Quiet barge into the scene to accompany Close to the end in his own unique overbearing way. I'm sure it was exactly what Close needed and he is more than happy to chaperone his little madman.

This novel is made up of 2 parts: MC's amazing sniping skills and MC's "dual" personality.
MC is really a great player of the game and can be said to be at the pinnacle of the best players in this novel. Alot of the novel is about how he leads his team using his naturally talented self.
Due to needing to rise to the challenge of being the team captain, MC also created a persona of a model captain for himself to wear whenever he is in the presence of his teammates and the public. He named his persona "Shrine", which is also his in game ID. He only returns to being himself, Yuyu, in the privacy of his room and his family. It was very cute to see the prim and proper captain becoming a clingy little baby with loves his dino onesies and being praised. He is really the definition of gap moe.
ML is not very impactful in this novel. He is a rich second generation and is also really good at the game with his fair share of family troubles but those are not really major. He and MC's relationship developed in a hilarious way as both find the most ridiculous methods to verify their interest in each other and also getting along privately after being together.
Recommended to see cute yuyu!

This novel has a really really adorable MC. He is like a baby kitten that ML cups in his palms like the jewel of his heart and protects him every step of the way. The whole love story is basically ML reparing MC's feelings of his own self worth and showering him with so so so much love and pampering. Though it makes it less realistic, I liked how there is no cliche "hiding of the relationship for our career" and lack of homophobic plots in the society of the novel.
The relationship between MC and ML is very dog food worthy as they never hid their feelings and affection for each other from the start. ML showers MC with every bit of love and pampering he can muster like its a part of his soul. He is also very clingy and scheming towards MC to make MC stay by his side 24/7, and give himself an official title. However, he respects MC's decisions and feelings and never does things that go against what MC wants.
However, as cute and adorable as he is, MC also has his fangs and claws. His golden finger is his experience and hardwork from his original world, making him a super substitute/ coach for the team. I really like how open minded he is about being a substitute and not stepping on the original players or the plot making the original players "bad" and leave to make way for the MC. He whole heartedly trains the starters and help them sort out their mental blocks smoothly.
Although this is a transmigration novel, its not very significantly different as MC's original world is like a parallel universe to this world where the people and places are the same, just their lives and choices were different. Also, this story is more heavily on MC's brilliant skills and coaching ability than actual competition/tournament arc so the game side is not wo technical or focused on. Its mostly about life outside the game.

This novel is a pretty straightforward novel with sufficient backstory, esports elements and character development.
MC and ML both have history together that they got over and later on progress together in both career and love. ML has even planned out his retirement with MC.
However, one thing to note is due to MC and ML's backstory and also their workaholic personalities, the romance side of the story is not very strong. MC and ML both spend alot of time training, researching and working for the team and 'dog food' moments are far and not very heart stopping with the exception of how ML showed his 10000% support in protecting MC from his phobia and being there by his side from arranging everything to make sure MC is comfortable to helping him get iver his phobia.
There isn't much heart renching moments or plots in this novel so its relatively a light hearted read with minimal climaxes that will make your heart race.
Recommended for a light read.

Really cute ABO story with entertainment circle bits stuffed inside.
MC is a bunny with a black belly who knows what he wants and schemes his way to get it. He single handedly caught his alpha and made him a total clingy wife s*ave towards him. ML is the really straightforward and honest young man type. He has his own thoughts on "the proper ways to do things" that can make people love him to bits or want to strangle him. The CP is super compatible due to their personalities as one schemes and the other is loyal supporter that holds him back when needed. Both are super intelligent (tho ML loses quite alot of braincells when MC is involved...).
The buns are super adorable and inherited cough the best cough of their parents. Everyone but MC can stay puzled why the buns are so scheming and mischievous.
Side CP is super sweet as well. I glad manager san got his own little family and happily ever after after all he's been through for our main CP.

MC is very cute, yet very sharp, something unique due to his upbringing from his original world where he was pampered to bits but due to being in a prominent family, he is still aware of the ins and outs of the sinister side of the human heart. ML is not very 3D in this novel but has a decent backstory. I really like how MC changed his worldview slowly from when they met till the end of the novel. They slowly became the irreplaceable partner to the other.
The plot of revenge was okay. Face slapping was not very strong but enough to give abit of satisfaction. The "reclaimed" young master plot seems abit forced but it was a decent connection to silence all the naysayers about main CP relationship.
My only sad points are not being able to see what happened to the side CPs and also that MC never actually got reunited with his beloved family who doted him to pieces or where they even mentioned in the main story/extras. Feels abut of a missing link there.
Recommended tho!

MC was a great god during his time as an esports player and never let his skills rust despite the period of time he was away. He took the whole esports community in hand and changed everything distasteful. He recruited hidden talents, setup opportunities to allow hidden gems to show their skills and also most importantly, rectified how the national team should be. He whipped all the children into shape with self criticisms and little black rooms and finally brought home the championship. I really felt the journey he took as it was not that there were no good players but that they lost to capitalism and other unprofessional reasons. MC gave them all a chance to shine.
I would say its very similar to "God Level Summoner" in terms of flow which focuses on the tactics and gameplay.
Romance is abit of a subplot in this novel but we have a really really cute loyal dog ML. If you open the dictionary to the page of a loyal dog ML, this ML is probably the one featured there... First, his nose (and mind) is super sharp to detect thay his master is back in China just with a few clues. He came running the next day after he found out and went to MC's doorstep to mark his territory! Secondly, everytime he completes something, he will first turn to MC for praise with big doggy eyes and a seemingly wagging tail. Third, he praises his master every chance he gets, like he cannot wait for the whole universe to know how good his master is. Fourth, he respects and follows his master's words to the T. Anything his master says is the way to go for him, be it in game or in a relationship. He doesn't force his feelings on MC at all and waited for MC to open up to him. Most importantly, he can converse fluently with MC's dog Jiang Doudou! There is no language barrier! Really a loyal doggy ML!

#rebirth #school... more>>
This novel was super duper sweet and smooth throughout. Its not one doused with dog food and sugar but because of the actions taken unknowingly by ML that totally changed MC's life and how they got together that made it all that much sweeter.
As the title says, MC is the seme/gong in the main CP and he was the one who was reborn. Rather than the typical I was reborn to take revenge on those who made my life a living hell and become the sole winner in life kind of rebirth stories, MC in both lifetimes remained a rather innocent and oblivious lovely hubby who's sole goal in life is to boast to his wifey how big his little brother is and that he has an awesome wifey. In both lifetimes MC was 10000000% loving, loyal and obedient to ML by his own initiative and self morals. He did not join in the bad habits of his friends and despite complaining multiple times, he followed what ML asked of him to the T. He is like a loyal dog + goofy dog hubby in one person.
His rebirth was not for naught tho. It allowed him to first smoothen and save his wifey from the worst of his past. Second, save a few good people from their bad ends due to circumstances. And most of all, it helped to change MC and ML's relationship from one built on "benefactor" relations and money to one that was built on MC quite literally self recommending himself to ML by showing him all his good points and helping ML out to begin a new life and fight his enemies. It also helped him to see the truth behind many of his wifey's actions that weren't what he assumed and vice versa.
Whilst in both lifetimes ML viewed MC as a beacon of light that attracted them to him like a moth to a flame, MC's role in both lifetimes was different. In the first lifetime, ML saw MC as the silver lining of his circumstances of being sold twice (one by his relatives and the other voluntarily to MC's dad avoid incarceration) and slowly became possessive of this light. However, the relationship between them was unequal and hurtful to both sides as one didnt feel he matched the other and thus kept overcompensating for it and the other thinking the other didn't like him as he was just with him to repay his father for saving him. In this lifetime, everything flowed differently and their relationship was formed after MC "persued" and won the affection and heart of ML through his never ending efforts of presenting everything good he had to ML with both hands at every stage of life they had. MC could have chosen to change the course of his life to avoid ML entirely but he didn't do that and instead saved ML's life and also his mum's life through the changes instead.
Side characters like MC's father are really sweet characters as well. Of course there are also alot of small antags who got their just desserts at each point.
Oh ofcourse CP wise, ML and MC are perfect for each other. Because how can the cute doggy like innocent yet ???? brain circuits sheep MC with without his shepard who deals with all his bs and reins him in when necessary.
Recommended to read for yourself this cute MC's 2nd life c*m true lovestory.

First of all, Inspector is best cat!! Super cute and smart kitty who is the perfect son for MC snd ML's tiny family. He can act cute, beat up villians, save people and watch cartoons with MC.
Main CP is very entertaining. Both have their pasts, baggage and masks. MC is OP in his both his official career (game architect) and his side careers: an oscar winning actor (he was not found out to be not the real Pei Yi and knew exactly what to say within the scope of his "character" to the heck out of people) and a PR and crisis management specialist (all the times he turned people's "good deeds" back at them is just *chef's kisses). He is also kind and tries to help those whose fate was not so good in the original novel but does not let anyone walk all over him. His personality is as ML always calls him, like a cat, making him the perfect cat dad for Inspector. (Like father like son).
The whole emotional development for the baggages carried by MC and ML was done well as there was no "suddenly became okay already" happening but gradual recovery as MC and ML healed each other.
Side characters were all lively and antagonists got their just desserts. I really liked how the author didnt make all antags brainless and some were just clouded and became decent humans after being reminded.
I feel the author wrapped up the story really well by doing a 15 chapter extra that begin from Father Yan going to a parallel world to save his love, as at least 5 people were saved by this. The entire family of Pei Yi, the guy who caused the tragedy and ML was not left so desperate like he was in the original timeline.

This novel was very unexpected and I almost dropped it so many times in the beginning chapters. Warning to all that you will have the go past the hurdle that ML had a previous partner before MC to get to the good parts. ML's previous partner was seriously too much of a atypical brainless wannabe antag that you will be driven to want to drop the novel then and there as you read their relationship. However, it is precisely this ex partner that was the main catalyst for MC and ML to get together later on so bare with him for that.
After MC and ML get together its just fluff all the way. Things were just so sweet and ML's mind reading ability was not at all the basis of their relationship but just the side currents that pushed their boat of love along faster. They are really 2 peas in a pod that were made for each other that you question everyday why was ex partner even in the picture before as he didnt match ML even 1%.
MC is a happy bean who's super optimistic and naive and at the same time, super sensitive. He is usually the bouncing and peppy little kid that clings to ML like a koala with an imagination that runs 100000miles per hour. His thoughts are so pricelessly cute and adorable. If you thought he was already sweet enough externally, his internal thoughts will melt your heart thoroughly (ML suffers this sweet burden day in day out happily). However, whilst he is very happy in general, he does have his dark pasts and fears, and is especially attentive to others' preferences and tics. He also has the immense EQ and kindness to not expose the things he observe unless the other person crossed him first. This can be seen by how he saw through the preferences and character of ML and his family and also how he found put the fears of ML but did not expose them until ML himself did. He is really the cutest family member and partner.
ML, to be honest I really disliked him and felt he was not worthy of MC since he had a partner before and was so foolish at the to be led around by his nose by so many people. Without his mind reading ability the story would have ended with him helping others to count money after being sold. Whilst he is supposed to be "smart" and "cunning", I felt its really all just his ability that saved him. However, as I see MC and ML interact and how he literally planned and laid out everything for his future with MC and MC didn't need to worry a bit, I began to forgive him and felt a sense of reality in his character as most other MLs are "so perfect" without a flaw. This ML having this "blindness" made me feel he was more 3D and real then just being the foil for MC like some ither novels. I also felt his past made the plot roll out well also.
Side characters were really lovely as well, but well some of them has a level of s*upidity that makes you question then (cough Mr Xiao) and others you feel for them for the life experiences.
Really recommended!

This novel is very like its title, where MC and ML were sweet and shoving dog food in your face from the start. It went from unknowingly shoving to knowingly shoving as MC and ML's relationship progressed.
There was no major ups and downs as most antagonists were solved by a wave from ML's magic wand. The most prominent plotline is probably how MC and ML healed each other from their past traumas. MC's trauma is mostly about being left alone since both his parents left him suddenly in a very short time. ML filled that hole of affection, love and companionship that MC needed. ML's trauma is deeper since it has severely impacted his life and health both mentally and physically. He went from a scarecrow mechnically moving whilst immersed in his trauma and illnesses to wanting to be a better person and healthy person who can accompany MC for a long time. You can see his emotional development from the start where they first met till the end where they are an inseparable couple.

This novel is very different from other transmigration novels. Whilst it is still the same gong and shou from world to world, the difference is the order of events that caused the CP to live happily ever after in the real world.
The transmigration was not by 2 strangers who came to love each other after all the worlds or one party falls love at first sight in every world due to their in-built DNA to love the other. It is experienced by two parties who already loved each other but did not have the courage to confess to the other and thus continued to live a life of longing for 10 years.
Its a transmigration that allowed MC to slowly, world by world, open his heart to think of a possibility of a relationship between him and ML. As ML never leaves him second guessing his thoughts and feelings, it gave him the courage to express his true thoughts and come to accept and anticipate a future together.
For ML, whilst it is abit unsightly of him to assume its okay to force someone to accept and reciprocate his feelings in the form of missions, these worlds have also helped him heal from his heart knot caused by the sudden barricate that stopped him from even being a silent supportive spectator of his love's life. Also, his actions spoke louder than words, his love for MC shining through his every action taken across the worlds. The vinegar he ate, the jealousy he displayed and the bottomless pampering he gave MC the basis to trust his feelings and to step out from his comfort zone. It also gave the healing and home MC desperately needed after his past.
This is a novel of mutual healing and support. They are each other's lighthouse and sun that gave them the drive to be a better person and confidence for their future.

This novel is 20% frustration, 75% sweetness and 5% ANGST.
It begins with two sided pining, one side being aware he us pining and the other side being oblivious. It then escalates to the oblivious side realising his feelings withe the whole OMG IM GAY self realisation. It then went to a stage where both sides are vinegar jars that are almost bursting due to their feelings. Both sides were just too afraid of ruining their current status and relationship.
The reveal and get together was nothing big. Just a simple caught stealing a kiss + confrontation. Then comes the tsunami after tsunami of dogfood. Little things that were not so impactful became magnified 1000% under their relationship. ML was already super pampering and doting even before so after they got together it was even sweeter since MC will understand and reciprocate.
There was no big hooha after their friends found out, all of which were super supportive. No self entitled wannabes who tried to bu*t in their relationship either.
It was all peace and sugar until the "coming out" climax. The CP faced pretty strong level of rejection from their parents. It was here I felt abit uneasy. Whilst I did understand how shocking the reveal was, I didn't think it warrant having to silently guilt trip their children into thinking they were wrong by being together by saying things like "what did we do wrong that you became like this" or "was it my fault?". They could reject as parents but really I felt those comments were really uncomfortable and almost made me wanna drop the novel. Luckily this was only like 3 chapters and 007 helped push it to the next stage of causing MC to faint from the illness that started everything. MC's parents gave in pretty quickly and everything kind of went back to how things were before the cone out. It was really sad at this point and my emotions were rollercoaster as things got pretty dark in the possible futures after MC succumbs to his illness. Luckily, MC passed the 'test' and the illness was resolved.
I would have wished that we got to see MC and ML's college life and wedding but I guess the author devided to end it there for a nice finish. Overall a great story but you need to see past the coming out arc. Recommended!

Like many other readers, I really loved the MC for this novel. You could really see his emotional and character development step by step from the start till the end of the novel. Whilst a person like MC in the business world isn't exactly realistic, he represents what the "ideal" business man we all wish to see. He followed through with what he thought was right and really listened and observed before making decisions. Many a times he could have chosen a "shortcut" through betraying someone or by using ML's connections but he didn't. I especially liked it when he persuaded ML from resigning from his job even though he wished to be with him 24/7 by considering ML's future. This really shows his maturity as a person and a partner. He could clearly access what's best for the situation and separate it from his wants before making a decision. How many of us can be so decisive when knowing that what you want is already in your grasps but you still act otherwise.
MC was not only an ideal boss, but also an ideal son. He gave up his interests to help out his father who was solely managing everything and so that his twin brother could do what he liked. This really represented reality where we may have passions but those passions can only be hobbies due to circumstances or that passion doesn't put food on the table. Through MC, we also saw abit of what its like to grow up as a second generation that isn't just wasting his parents hardwork and his life away.
To me, ML is quite a tool man type in this novel. His biggest existence is to prevent MC from falling into potholes and guiding him in his development to being a top business tycoon. It just seems abit too convinient that he is a free golden finger for MC in any trouble he meets that he isn't able to resolve. Nevertheless, he is super OP and perfect for this novel's setting and irreplaceable in MC's development. Tho, one thing I really like how ML was very respectful of MC's thoughts and morals. Every action he took was within what he knew MC could accept and agree to. He also fully supported MC to execute his plans and face any potential consequences (well he will help out if troubke does come) when possible and only held him back when there were legal issues with what MC or threats to MC's safety in what he wanted to do. He knew MC's bottomlines and always stuck to them.
Romance wise, I felt that it was actually not the strongest for this novel, preheps due to the focus being on company politics and competition. Maybe because both MC and ML are too level headed in their decision making and actions, other than massive amounts of "fade to black" smut, there's really not much dogfood other than occasional bouts of jealousy. You only really feel the depth of the relationship when MC came out of the closet and near the end of the novel where MC got kidnapped (again) and ML really used his full force to find his wife and afterwards made very drastic decisions to be able to accompany his wife.
One thing I do dislike in this novel is how different MC and his twin brother's area of acceptable actions are. Why is the twin brother able to do and live as he pleases whilst MC doesn't have a choice. Whilst yes someone needs to inherit the family business, so that's not nice but acceptable, what I am uncomfortable about is MC's father's reactions to MC being with ML. Which is super ironic considering MC's twin brother is also with a man. Some words and actions he had just doesn't sit right to me. I do hope that this will not impact the unborn 3rd child's choices.
Overall its a great read to explode your braincells in all the business and trading jargon and plotlines and MC has awesome character development. Recommended!

This novel was sooo much better than what I expected.
It had a true Romeo & Juliette like main plot, whereby the MC and ML are the crown princes of opposing empires. Their love journey goes like this:
1) Meeting when they have overcomed their worst
2) Kindling their love story through shamelessly living together and overcoming internal barriers
3) Separation and building up forces
4) Revealation > acceptance > resolution of the "R&J" situation > mutual making up to each other
5) Marriage and building a life together + fixing MC's body
6) Kiddos
It was a great novel with not much messy drama, decent romantic buildup, angst when required for character building and lovely supportive side characters.
Recommended to read for yourself to unveil the beauty of MC's character and how silly yet loyal doggy sui is.
//Nuonuo is so adorable as a kiddo. He knows when to be a a helper for his parents and when to be the 'meanest' door guard
//Nuonuo grew up to be such a mini ML whos dotes on his lil bro yuyu who is a literal minime for MC
//I really liked how the kiddo duo is still close as almost adults with their third member yuyu who doubles as their mediator
//Hope doggy sui has better luck with yuyu since nuonuo hated him as a kid. Sad to not have any endings for his and MC after their become emperors.
