The ML has beaten, manipulated, r*ped, and even imprisoned the MC in their first life. (Which by the way takes a whole 55 chapters to be completed & then both the MC & ML are reborn several years into the past.) What's worse is that the ML is even DIRECTLY responsible for the MC's death in their first lives. He never trusted the MC regardless of his "feelings", and in the end thanks to the scheming of others, he puts the terminally ill MC in prison where he's beaten & r*ped to death.

Besides in their second life, one thing that I really don't like is that it's now the MC taking on the role of the ab*ser. I'm not being a victim blamer, but after being reborn he's hit/beat the ML multiple times. For instance, in one of the first few chapters after being reborn the MC slaps the ML, and the ML gets upset which scares the MC who's expecting his horrible temper, but instead the ML grabs his palm that's now red & worries over him. Was that supposed to be touching? That's NOT CUTE, ab*se is just plain wrong.

There have been some dub-con kisses between the two, and even a drunken confession where the MC says that he both hates the ML & Loves him. In the second life, the ML acts like gum stuck to the bottom of the MC's shoes. Follows him everywhere, confesses his love from Day One, apologizes, etc. But I genuinely hope that they're not endgame!!

For a taste of how terrible it is: at one point, MC realizes he has... cancer? Some incurable disease that's almost certainly going to lead to death or something. He tells the ML, and the ML actually seems to start having some glimmers of regret about how he treated the MC, but then, within like a chapter, the ML's white moonlight have somehow successfully convinced the ML that... what? the disease is somehow faked? Then the ML's white moonlight ends up straight-up stabbing his adoptive mother when his mother begins suspecting that the MC is her actual son and not the white moonlight. And then he somehow manages to convince both the police and the ML that the MC was the attempted mu*derer, which leads to ML sending MC to prison... And then MC dies in prison from his illness.

And ML only thinks to check on MC to prove his brother (the second male lead who is vastly superior to ML in every way) wrong because the ML's brother is furious at ML for throwing a terminally ill person in prison while the ML is still convinced that the MC is faking.

And then, once the ML realizes the MC is dead, MC's mother wakes up and reveals the truth, that MC is her son all along -- the original person that ML liked when he was young -- and that the white moonlight is a mu*derer! L O L I CAN'T EVEN. And then, and then, the ML takes MC's corpse and sets both of them on fire... L M A O.

Like, holy shit, who would ever want to have a guy this mentally unstable as your boyfriend? And that's just the tail end of those FIFTY CHAPTERS. I'm not even listing out all the terrible things that the ML did to the MC before that.

So the primary antagonist is the ML's white moonlight, who is actually the MC's cousin. I did some rapid skimming of their backstory because I was so tired of the ab*se at that point, but essentially: MC's true identity is actually that of the son of a rich family, proven by a... pendant he has? White moonlight steals this pendant when they're young and reunites with said family under the pretense of being their son. He then pays off the doctor to fake blood tests, etc. And his primary motivation for framing MC was fear that his ruse will come to light (even though, uh, his mother still survives at the end of that lifetime, so he would've been SOL anyway, so REALLY BAD PLAN, MY DUDE, but no one is known for their IQ in this story).

Anyway, in the second life, both the MC and the ML get reborn back to their late teens, when they were still just classmates in high school instead of in a relationship. While the MC gets his memories back immediately, the ML gets like... a chapter or two to get his memory back, and then after that the revenge becomes a non-starter.

Because, after all that ab*se, after all the buildup from the terrible schemes of the white moonlight, the moment ML wakes up with his memories, he immediately comes out with the fact that MC is actually the true son and white moonlight is a schemer! And when this moves the mother to try and get a redone blood test, she then conveniently overhears the white moonlight and doctor discussing how to fix the blood test results! And that's it! Revenge over! White moonlight and doctor arrested, and MC accepted back into the family!

And this takes, oh, like five chapters to resolve!! Just... Right after the rebirth!! Without ANY of the MC's input!! Like WTF!!!

Xu Zhun died really tragically after getting tossed around by He Chengyang. It includes drama with Xu Yi, his disease, and finally dying in prison.

But arc 2 gets really petty. 'Revenge' consists of nonfigurtively slapping He Chengyang many times, getting angry, and the overused plot device of being drugged. He Chengyang despite 'regretting' their last life is still a piece of sh*t. He didn't learn anything. He still forces kisses and other unwanted touching despite Xu Zhun making it clear he hates He Chenyang. What pisses me off most is that Xu Zhun's mother encourages it despite knowing Xu Zhun hates He Chengyang and gets them engaged even though there was an excuse. There's also the cliche "oooh I'm in a hospital ouch because I saved you and now you must be nice to me." Just admit it, the relationship is beyond redemption and the only way to make it seem ok is if tragic events suddenly appear to unnaturally force the two together.

I stopped reading as soon as the "I don't know why but I'm attracted even thought I hate him" appeared from Xu Zhen's mind. This is the first novel with a s*um gong that I actively hope for the main character to end up with the other person in the love triangle. Aren't company presidents supposed to be wise in some aspects? He Chengyang is repeatedly s*upid, gets tricked, and is s*upidly stubborn the first arc. No tricking yet, but is repeatedly s*upid and is s*upidly stubborn in the second arc. I said before but He Chenyang learned absolutely nothing. No improvement at all other than regretting not having Xu Zhun around to fck.

the first 50 or so chapters is just the MC being ab*sed, r*ped and verbally assaulted. No need to get THAT into detail, just 10 chapters would've been fine. The ML in manipulative and controlling I can't even. +the amount of times he caged MC to yell at him for doing something he didn't like and physically assaulted him is insane and disturbing.

Eventually, MC gets framed for a crime and thrown in jail. While there, he was bled out and died from his leukemia. ML proceeds to become a psycho and ends up committing su*cide. Also, this happened in the span of less than 10 chapters. Like what??

MC is reborn as his 18 year old self to 'enact revenge'... notice how I used '...' he basically tells the identity of the fake Lin Shuo and ML continues being a psycho and pursues MC

It's safe to say I skimmed through and skipped many chapters but I just couldn't continue reading when the ML DOESN'T UNDERSTAND that MC HATES him. That toxic and mentally abusive 'relationship' f*cked MC up into LIKING the ML even though his personality DID NOT change.

ex. Of said behavior when our MC works overtime in order to have enough money to buy decent food when the gong express he wants to have dinner only for him to insult the meal not knowing our shou barely got anything to eat for himself.

Or when shou return home after doctor tells him his sick body cant handle physical intensity only for gong to push down all the while insulting him cause he just his booty call. Then stopping only cause his "white moonlight" calls. *Need eyeroll emoji*

we already see traces of that even begore MC dies and gets reborn when gong bigger big shot older brother arrives on the scene. Oh love triangles, such a guilty pleasure.

After MC Died in Mtl (in around Chapter 60-63) ML Went Crazy for his Life

He took MC Body and laid it in the bed making noodles, Kissing MC, Talking to MC (like a casual everyday normal people routine has) he went carzy literally, he even wanted to marry the corspe... (I think MC corpse been like for 3-5 days?) after that (More angst) chengyang comitted su*cide entagled with MC body

The chapter where MC died and ML suffering starts from chapter 64-70 after that chapter 75? or chapter 73 MC got reborn with ML

I find it ridiculous how when Xu Zhun's leukemia was finally known by He s*um and that scheming mf tricked him into believing he was playing some sort of deception, he just believed it? Like, isn't he supposed to be some smart guy, seeing as though he literally runs a corporation? A simple investigation would expose all that damned fake Lin smth guy's plans.

Also, after the rebirth occurred, I just have to echo another reviewer on this one because it just isn't right to stoop so low and switch places as the ab*ser instead Xu Zhun (；⌣̀_⌣́). After every revelation it was just a stagnant tug-of-war with an expected ending.

So first if you want to read this for same good revenge or s*um ab*se you better stop while you're still ahead because this novel does not have any of that not completely because it's have some tr*shy ab*se not same a lot of that shitty ab*se.

This novel most tr*shy thing is ML ab*se MC usually author write only few chapter but this shitty novel have at fifty chapters I wish I was kidding but I know I wasn't MC was ab*se in his original life it was just ab*se and just ab*se you would be frustrated with so much f*cking ab*se chapter.

I don't know just why ML kind of guys are ML's they are like villains but even so author has spent do long writing just how terrible f*cking shitt the ML is where ML passed the point of redemption. After all that ab*se, there were no way that dong ML was even getting redeems no matter how much he repents. Yet the author still insists on it. So after enduring all these abusing shitty chapters, scheming and setup for revenge the actual revenge last only five or s*x chapters before it is resolve and MC doing very little in it like are you kidding me?? Means chapters of ab*se is 50 or so or revenge is 5 or so what actually shitt are you even writing I really want to open your head and see just want nonsense thing are in it. This is not satisfying way to end a revenge setup narrative which this story absolutely was!

Honestly this was the moment I almost want to go and beat the author to death because that scumy shitty ML still want to go to MC so that they can get back being together despite literally causing his death in his previous life. And the still going to end up together despite the ML being and absolute shitt without an ounce of self reflection.

If this shitty novel at least have a good satisfied revenge I might have read to the end and but I just stuff with so much shitt I don't have any place to stuff a word of sh*t I was tired when remember that shitty story and don't even know how are read that much chapter I was going crazy and angry when I think of that f*cker ML and that tr*shy most idiot in the world MC honestly even if you like s*um ab*se novels go find something else I really won't recommend this story even if I die it doesn't even have the authority to be tr*shily entertainment it's just a f*cking absolutely waste tr*shy novels I ever read in my life just tr*sh don't no what to say.....
