I Just Want to Divorce

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Before he was reborn, Ye Fei was conscientious and diligent, with only work in his eyes. After his rebirth, Ye Fei decided to live freely. F*ck work! F*ck contract marriage! He would never live this kind of life again where he could rely on no one. Divorce, he must divorce!

Ye Fei threw out the divorce agreement on the coffee table, and shook his fingers happily. “Recently, there is a little fresh meat with upturned buttocks and a strong waist. Looks like he will last long.”

“There is also another one with a high nose bridge. His fingers are long. He’s clearly the kind of person who knows how to play.”

“Who is better?”

Yan Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him blankly.

Later….

Ye Fei lay paralyzed on the bed with a sore waist and soft legs, regretting hard enough to spit out a smoke ring. “I miscalculated.”

Mixed feelings about this one. It's quite short, but I was still bored by the last few chapters. The misunderstandings aren't drawn out for too long, but the plot isn't as interesting once the two characters do finally open up to each other. I experienced a lot of actual physical heart pain reading this novel, so kudos to being able to invoke such intense feelings though!

Overall a pretty fluffy short read, as it's clear early on that most of the angst is due to misunderstandings and not intentional neglect from... more>> the ML. Wouldn't really recommend or not recommend, but it's a cute story to pass the time. The main couple isn't too memorable, but they work well together. I will say that the extra actually made me cry, so there's that. <<less

Well, Let me get rid of the things that might make you anxious while reading. Little Spoiler abut MCs cause af death in his first life:

... more>>
Spoiler

MC died allegedly due to ALS, a hereditary disease without cure. But guess what? He didn't. This disease was man-made

[collapse]

For everyone not reading the Spoiler, just know that MC is healthy and won't die.

About that "bittersweet " Extra that lots of reviews mentioned... it is about what happened after MCs death in his 1st life. I didn't read it. If it is anything like that Extra of "I just want to be in a relationship" it will be emotionally devastating... don't feel like I can endure that today.

About the story itself... I gave it 4 stars because it is great but has also some down sides. I like MC and ML and their interactions. But it had a bit too much dogblood in the middle. Although they married for business reasons, they like each other. When MC found out, he avoided ML and the dogblood came on. In my opinion the communication could have been better. Later on their communication was good.

So, I would recommend to read this novel if you like it on the light side. It was entertaining and had no obvious plot holes. The characters are likable and everything works out just fine. <<less

This novel is very well-written, except that it’s too short. A lot of plot points were implied which forces the readers to reflect and fill in the plot holes.

The points below are just to point out some of the plot points that really had me thinking. And this is in response to some of the comments that complain about YF’s selfishness and those that feel the story is superficial. In my opinion, they probably didn’t infer a lot of the author’s intentions.

... more>>
Spoiler

Such as YF’s personality that did a 180 change. He went from extreme selflessness to a slightly less extreme selfishness. It’s briefly attributed to his despair at his family’s betrayal but because the author didn’t go into details, it made it seem more like YF was possessed instead of being reborn (see other comments). But if you think about it, YF only loved his family and believed that only his family loved him. He lived his life for others only to find out it was a lie. Naturally when he returned to the past, he wouldn’t want to do anything for other people. He would only want to live for himself. But you can see in the little details like how YF tried to arrange GRJ’s future, and how YF tries to split amicably with YX that YF hasn’t really changed, it’s just that he’s like a hedgehog with its spikes erected as he carefully manoeuvres around his social relationships.

It can also be deduced that YX is on the autism spectrum but this point is never really addressed and it seems like no one is aware of or knows what autism is. Which explains some of YF’s misunderstandings related to YX. Personally, it would have been better if author made use of this to justify YX falling for YF instead of love at first sight.

The ending was what through me off. Initially, I thought it was ridiculous that YF died without knowing he was poisoned in his previous life. But on hindsight, YY wasn’t aware or he would definitely have lorded it over YF while he was dying. And it is logical that Father Ye did not reveal the truth to YF despite knowing he was dying and dead men can’t tell secrets, because of his innate cautiousness.

[collapse]

My biggest issue is the extra. In the extra, it is blatantly obvious that YX cares a lot about YF which denies the whole premise of the plot that YF thought YX only saw him as a contract partner. Unnecessary and just to tug at the reader’s heartstrings.

Translation was great overall, except for travistranslations. Easy to understand, great pacing. <<less

Far from what written on summary. So much more Emotional. Heart aching... And also Heartwarming...

ML was truly Devoted Loving Husband. He has Great IQ, but sadly low EQ so he's Pure and Naive in some way.

Every time MC fall for ML's actions, it was painful because he think he shouldn't be together with ML For Valid Understandable Reason (no Spoiler) !!!

... more>> But thank god Everything works because lot of thinks revealed aka the Mutual Affections that helping them to be honest and stay together.

I don't even care about Face slapping. I'm just so Happy, Glad, Full of Relief with the fact MC and ML can stay together healthy and well, and all the Villains defeated.

I'm truly Glad...

Though the Extra chapter gave a mixed feelings. <<less

Waaah! I really love this novel...

MC is worthy of being a protagonist of a rebirth novel. I'm really a sucker for clever protagonists.

ML is the bae. he is a very big marshmallow (imagine baymax) !! I agree with one of the commenters, ML kinda looks like he has savant syndrome... I also appreciate that author-san didn't make a big deal out of this since the highlight is ALS (MCs illness).

plotwise, its really touching... I hear myself saying Aaaaaawww~ multiple times because of ML. its really nice for MC to have... more>> ML who is frank and only speaks of the truth... it somehow liberates him from all the lies that he had lived his entire previous life.

ending: ITS A HAPPY ENDING FELLAS!!

extra:

Spoiler

total tear-jerker, made me wanna rip the souls of those villains and suffer in hell for eternity. no hell would be a mercy to them. they deserve to stay in 'nothingness' where everywhere is black and time is on a stand-still... now that's what I call suffering

[collapse]

author-san: as expected of this author who also wrote 'I just want to be in a relationship' which I also loved... give 5 starts!! right amount of face slapping mixed with the right amount of fluff topped with heart-warming moments <3 <3 <3

thanks to author-san and translators/mtls for this wonderful novel!!! <<less

I didn't like MC that much in the start. But there's more to him that meets the eye.

... more>>
Spoiler

Somebody in the comments even said that he was selfish with ML. But is that so? He just pretended to be nonchalant and carefree, but this was just a mask to hide the pain underneath. From how he wholeheartedly served his father and brother duo in his past life we can see that he's used to often put others in the first place, sacrificing for their sake. Was it really wrong, even if he wanted to live for himself in his last years? At least, from his limited perspective at that moment, it seemed the best.

His psychological journey was long. And at first, thanks to ML's inability to say his feelings out loud, he didn't understand how he treasured him at all, greatly underestimating his own worth in ML's eyes.

[collapse]

I appreciated the ML's characterisation the most, it is really interesting and well-written.

In short, this novel is a hidden gem. At first, it looks a bit dusty, but you'll find out the hidden beauty in the later part. <<less

Ahh the reviews here are pretty honest about this work, it's bittersweet and the relationship between the two is the main focus. I've heard it's a happy ending, but I will not be reading that far ahead.

Although very well written and planned out, the characters fall flat for me. I like how being oblivious to social cues is definitely a personality trait of yan, but that's all. I really don't know how Yi would react in any situation. I read the extra before starting the story and the difference between... more>> his rebirth and original life is all due to his personality. I don't understand how they could have spent 6 months being strangers, it's just not what I can Imagine Yi doing. Yan, okay I am told many times he just lets Yi do whatever, doesn't overstep boundaries etc, but after being asked for divorce he does nothing but overstep boundaries. Since it's all I know of him, I can't see how they spent 2 years in the previous life without having any sort of relationship at all.

Anyway, it's just personally an issue. I don't like characters being inconsistent, or changing so drastically so quickly. If you like sweet slice of life relationship deepening plots, this is pretty decadent. <<less

Great read! Will def put it in my re-read list.

The pacing was good. Story was satisfying. The romance wasn't toxic which is always lovely.

I can understand why others may not rate five stars especially when you consider other competition. But this is a solid story and it isn't long winded. Considering it's a short/med length and is satisfying to read, I think it deserves its 5 stars.

And don't skip the extras.

The extra was so painful. 😭 Given that it has the same author of "I just want to be in a relationship" both stories actually has the same vibes on it. Both MLs are green flags and I think has the same EQ level? Although I like "I just want to be in a relationship" more, I still enjoyed this plot. I just love unrequited love becoming requited.

I didn't cry for the other chapters but the extra nearly made me cry. The last lines "My name is Yan Xiao" and... more>> "My name is Yi Fei" just hits different. 😭 <<less

Short, sweet and moving, and the extra will make you cry. Good to relax and enjoy a nice cup of tea.

The MC may seem to behave in annoying ways sometimes, but it's more true to his personality as someone who has never had close affection. He's very th**ny.

The ML's and MC's wingmen are a bit annoying, but are well meaning and helped out two poor communicators.

This story shows potential, the light comedy. The cute ML personality towards the MC (he's such a nerd tho in a cute way) and the way the MC just wants to live his life, HIS way is so lovable. Can't way to continue

Though the funny thing is, I'm at chapter 6 and I already need to change to a 3rd new translator lmao. But anyways, not dropping it just yet

Just finished the novel and it is soo wholesome and happiness is just filling my entire body and now I just... more>> feel so empty cause I don't have any masterpieces in my mind rn

Gonna give some opinions but obviously spoilers included cause I have loads to say

Spoiler

Father Ye is such a tr*sh, he deserves to be dead and I can't believe the fact that he killed his wife and son in Ye Fei past life is real. He was that cruel.

What I was so moved is when the author included the continuation on yan xiao's life after ye fei died. I CRIED 😭 the way yan xiao discovered the secret behind the deaths in both life. The way he spent his life isolated on a private island with ye fei's ashes because his world was nothing more when his other half wasn't present. I am so in love

[collapse]

The novel ended so beautifully and applause to the author who made a heartmoving, feet kicking novel

A big thanks to all the translators who worked hard on this, I love you soo soo much <<less

I love this sooo much... The MC and ML are reasonable. But my favorite is the Ml, please he's too precious 😭I literally can't. I love him soo much to the point I want to cry anytime he's sad, jealous or things don't work out for him.

Omg I can't express my heart enough. No one on earth deserves him, atleast I'm glad he met MC who actually protects his feelings unlike other characters that might manipulate or try to take advantage of it. If I ever meet someone like Ml,... more>> if he were a stranger or a poor person I don't mind taking care of him to the fullest or giving him all my money. I love him so much and I wish even during his after life, he develops more EQ and can have the highest self esteem and confidence ever.

Thank you author for creating the most precious character ever❤️ <<less

With it being this short, I find it really satisfying to read. The plot has enough depth to cover the MC's family problems. The thing is I wish the one who save ML was MC instead of his orphanage friend, it would make the feelings more inline instead of that *first look fall in love* clinch. I find the MC's personality very my kind of taste, free flow, strong and willing to show weakness to the people he cares about. ML though hmm I wish he had more personality developments... more>> but hey in bed, he really a beast! Ha where does he must have study alot in that department. The story itself did leave me alot of different emotions with the way his dad being such a s*um bag and what MC said to his mum at the end at the cemetery make me tear up abit. The story has alot of love and also alot of hate towards different characters. I find 56 chapters a very satisfying read, *Why do they only do it at the end with no c***** is beyond me, do that more often *cough cough* hehe <<less

It's okay.. but at always... author portrayed chinese people as hooligan without humanity. It's quite disturbing when a fat woman shouted and called little ML as disgusting orphan. Well it's true in confucian society, orphans are despised and they're proud of it just like some korean minister. But even in south east asia, that act can incite public outrage. And author also still uses ' mighty netizen' plot. Illogical. if chinese netizens are so powerful, those huge companies with vaccine scandals will be doomed. But they re not. Instead, the... more>> protesters re sentenced by 2 yrs in prison. so 4 for cliche plot. But overall it's enjoyable. MC is not too s*upid and headstrong. ML 's love made me cried a little, inclding history behind ml's company name. <<less

this was fluffy and easy to read, too short but in some respect, it's just right. The change after rebirth was written well, there was never a moment that you'll think 'oh he wasn't supposed to be like that' because everything was clear. The misunderstandings were very simple but the impact was big. I personally love the male lead's personality, I can't really explain it but I just adore him. MC was smart and decisive, but when he's met with the ML it's all just fluff.",)

I enjoyed this very much. I loved how devoted the ML is.

I loved how strong willed and confident the MC is. He became more much resolute in his second life.

my heart throbbed in ache in the few moments where the MC tries to push the ML away, but only having eyes for the MC, he kept trying.

... more>> I think this was more of a miscomm and being blindsided. I cried when reading the extra.

I especially loved how there were different extras for the possible endings.

I enjoyed this so much that I even read 'I just want a relationship' but after reading that, I prefer that one over this just because the sweetness is alot more. XD <<less

A fine, light read. Nothing was stretched out; there was no angst. If I did have to push myself to read through the last ten chapters, they went by quickly.

I enjoyed the read... it was properly paced and sweet... at first I really didn't like the fact that the MC is not opening up to the ML... and because of that they lost some time... if you like someone rather than being selfish and deciding one sidedly you have to let the other person know too... I mean tat is my personal opinion... anyway after that its all good... its a delightful read... thanking the author and translator for bringing us this piece of gem 💎 🙏

Nice short story. The ending wrapped up everything nearly and the villains were proudly taken care of and no plotting left open. I have to admit, I was expecting a funny story or at least the scene in the description to take place on the novel but it didn't. There were also moments of angst as well and that extra was definitely one to induce tears. Overall, a fun read.

I noticed this author seems to like to write their MLs to have severe EQ impairment. She wrote the... more>> ML of her other novel exactly the same as Yan Xiao here, a genius, rich and successful but completely unable to relate to regular people all their life but somehow its different when it comes to the MC. <<less
