I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck

Description

Despite having found Mingxi, the Zhao family continued to favor the fake daughter, saying that Mingxi was not as kind nor as graceful as Zhao Yuan.

Mingxi didn’t mind. She continued to work hard to please her family although they would always say that she was trying to rob their attention away from Zhao Yuan.

Until she died because of a terminal illness.

It was then that she realized that Zhao Yuan was the actual lady blessed by luck while she was merely this novel’s evil supporting character with a tragic ending.

Zhao Mingxi who was given a second chance at life was bitterly disappointed. She no longer cared about her family. Screw her family and her fiancé. She immediately packed her bags and left home, off to complete the task given by the system named ‘Becoming Friends With Popular and Valuable Characters’.

After she left, the house suddenly became cold and quiet.

By right they should feel at ease, but–

Her parents, her indifferent elder brother, her brash younger brother, Shen Liyao who was used to her pursuits were all successively feeling… unused to it?

I feel like she was a little to scummy to family. While we get a sentence of hope that she might reconsile with her brother, not much more than that. I really feel bad for him, seeing as the bad twin emotionally manipulated him to attack his real sister. He doesn't really warrant a full no contact type thing. Especially since our MC knows that her counterpart has a halo type effect. Worth reading once, but left me with a poor taste in my mouth.

ML is such a pure and cute tsundere, I don’t get why people are hating him because he’s “immature”. Everyone has their own personalities and not everyone need to be “mature”.

I don’t usually like the plot on how MC is using the love interest to survive, but I guess this could be an exception?

MC is pretty hardworking and thick skinned? I’m not a psychologist but she doesn’t need to actually become ML’s “underling”but she chose to because she’s desperate. The system didn’t force her to do anything or restrict her,... more>> just being near or having a normal relationship with those targets, she’ll be fine. She lives her own life and go with the flow, she has the strong will to live and doesn’t need to pay attention to those clowns.

the side characters are pretty brainless most of the times and these clowns usually make a joke of themselves without MC doing anything lol. I’m happy that MC doesn’t forgive or give in to those toxic “family” of hers. That family have no one to blame but themselves, they only missed her because she worked for them like a s*ave in the household, desperately wanted their affection and attention. They can’t blame their adoptive daughter since they spoiled her rotten since childhood, I can see why she’s breaking down when they aren’t giving her attention. It’s amusing to see those family slowly crumbles to pieces as times goes by, I don’t have a sense of pity for them. The youngest brother was just an idiot but he cared about her so I get why people wants MC to be in good term with him at least. The family wasn’t forced or brainwashed by the adopted daughter, they chose this path and they pay the price in the very end, the spoilt adopted daughter or OG FL was just there and existed, she never face any hardships or anything so I kinda find her a bit pitiful. The quote “blood is thicker than water” is just bullsh*t lol but I get why the author wrote it. <<less

It's a cute novel, but I kind of just lost interest in reading this halfway. At first, it had a really strong start. I liked the idea of her gathering the 'luck' of the side characters and the system, but it was never really explained which is a shame because it seemed interesting. Another thing I had a problem with was her scar that she got previously.

... more>>
Spoiler

They made it seem like a huge deal and that she had to wear a mask, but I remember the author saying that it wasn't a huge scar? It was just an 'imperfection' on her perfect face even though it was just a spot on her face. Later on, it got cured with the power of luck and now everybody is worshipping her. I thought the author would make some commentary on this, but I guess not. I feel like the scar thing could've just not been there in the first place and it would've made no difference to the plot. It was just a moment to show off how beautiful the MC was.

[collapse]

I thought the family drama was entertaining, but eventually the story became all about the family drama and it kind of bored me. They stopped focusing on the protag Mingxi and focused on the Zhao family and the original protag, Zhao Yuan. The MC is perfect in every way and the author never forgets to mention that, and everybody is lining up for her to forgive them after her sudden change in personality. The ML was cute though, I thought the relationship was cute but I wish they had more screentime together. I might pick it up again if I'm bored. <<less

I read the MTL of this novel in spring and I'm so glad the TL is catching up! It will still be awhile before the end but this story is easily my favorite Cnovel I've read in a long time.

There isn't too little or too much information thrown at you in the beginning. A perfect balance of need to know information and plot progression that makes sense. Especially as the story progresses, explanations and flashbacks will not drag on or take away from the present plot points unfolding. There is... more>> also a sense of humor and self awareness for the unbelievable events and people around Zhao Mingxi that make her "?" but she rolls with it anyway.

The ML, Fu Yangxi, is the perfect leading man opposite Mingxi. He is shy, arrogant yet very sweet in contrast to her straight forward, clever and empathetic personality. The two balance each other out perfectly, especially after the other learns about their emotional baggage.

The author does a brilliant job in conveying the Zhao family as individuals without fleshing them out too much and only showing important members' thoughts and feelings as the story goes on (i.e. Zhao Yuning & Zhao Zhanhuai). There's a sense of empathy as you read along but then you remember their previous transgressions and quickly root for Mingxi for being steadfast in her decision.

You can't forget to talk about the main antagonist Zhao Yuan. She is as simple minded and annoying as they come. The author is simply amazing but they do a wonderful job developing this character. From being a spoiled and doted on daughter with kindness in her heart, she slowly has her greedy mask slip as the story progresses and she finally tries something dramatic at the end of the story.

Finally, the side characters are great, too! Some of them probably deserved a little more attention but they were great characters that backed up Mingxi and FYX when they need them the most. Even the antagonistic side characters add some flavor to the story. The adults, not so much but the teenagers were entertaining

I give this novel 5/5!

Now onto my favorite parts of the story:

Spoiler

- Mingxi falling into FYX's arms when she's confronted about winning the school flower contest. He's so embarrassed it makes me laugh!

- The occasional scenes of angst that plague Mingxi and FYX.

- Mingxi rips up the Zhao family photo in front of Yuning and Zhanhuai then proceeds to repeat the words they said to her when Zhao Yuan lost her precious family photo with her grandmother.

- FYX realizes Mingxi doesn't like him romantically. He's caught in the rain, heartbroken when he realizes she doesn't remember his birthday and she's with her fiancé (not actually tho).

- Mingxi officially cutting ties with all the Zhao family members. The wind, motorcycles and emotions!

- Zhao Yuning crying at the dining table on Mingxi's birthday, apologizing to nothing in front of the family about not being worth of Mingxi.

- Zhao Yuan getting exposed for being the fake daughter~

- Mingxi finally confessing to FYX

- Mingxi using all her acquired luck to heal FYX's wounds!

- Any scene of Mingxi and FYX being affectionate / touching. FYX's embarrassment is just so cute.

[collapse]

The ending and short side stories are good as well. They add a finishing touch that leaves you satisfied in knowing the main couple's relationship years in the future as well as their only encounter in the previous timeline.

Spoiler

I'm so happy they were so in love they married abroad right out of high school and were a rare married university couple. Though I'm sad Yuning was unable to have a close relationship with Mingxi again, I'm glad he talks to Mingxi now and then. Plus Mingxi and Fu Yangxi had an adorable son!

ML is the cutest and sweetest. He's like a hedgehog with the softest belly. He's very understanding and his past makes him pitiful. He's a really strong character whom I felt so sorry for. The bird in his heart was comical and enjoyable. Like a fuzzy cartoon.

FL did her purpose well. I liked her focus on her work and her interaction with ML and his friends. I loved the silly misunderstandings between ML and FL (that were quickly resolved). I didn't like that she was using him first while he... more>> fell straight into love.

This novel is a cute and sweet read.

The only thing, I didn't like how the formerFL was abandoned and how she ended up. She should have just gone quietly about her life, no drastic mishaps. <<less

I mtled it and I did regret nothing.

This ML is the best Boy ever! Must protect this little muffin!

... more>>
Spoiler

I was f*cking pissed about their confrontation between the oriFL and her adoptive family and it got me laughing.

The ORIFL pointed out that it was the family's fault why the FL became like that and I totally agree! The audacity of the family! When the FL was found, rather than loving her, they pushed her around and around and I do think that oriFL is not at fault but rather the family's education!

On another hand, ML's background was so sad like I just wanna slap his mother but I do kind of understand her but it's still not justified. When he was a child, he and his brother got kidnapped and the kidnappers demanded the father to give them the ransom personally which ended in a tragedy of the father and the brother's horrifying and mutilated end. While the ML got chased around by dogs and almost end like them. So the mother lost her mind and blame the ML, she hated the ML because he looks like them, when he dyed his hair red, she hated him more because he do not look like them anymore. Yes, I just wanna hit someone.

Back to the oriFL family, when I was reading their guilt and sadness about losing FL, it kinda dawn to me that rather than being guilty and wanting her to come back because they do see their faults, it more like they want FL because she's still their family and blood is thickest. I was triggered by their notion, they should repent and want her back because of what they did and not just because they're family.

The end is kinda rushed for me but the journey was damn good. It was so f*cking cool when FL cornered her bullies in their training camp.

The ML and FL's relationship is so wholesome, makes me want to love someone. About their relationship, the ML found out that FL doesn't like him and he cried, cried and cried yet he still didn't forget to care for the FL. At the same time, the disappearance and change of mood of the ML made her realize the things she did not see before like how handsome he is, or his presence gave her calmness. They both blushed and blushed with each other.

[collapse]

Small theater:

Fl:Do you like me?

ML:....

ML:....

ML who's about to explode: Yes.

FL not responding immediately while ML wanted to end the call because he's too scared to hear her rejection and broke his heart again.

Fl:What a coincidence, I like you too.

ML ran and fell off the stairs.

Fl:...

HAHAHHAHA so their get together started in the hospital while feeding everyone their dog food.

One of the best "reborn" theme novel I read so far. I like the fact that the MC very firm with her decision of totally severing ties with her biological family & live her life to the fullest. I was a bit worried when her family tries to coax her back home under the guise of family and filial piety but I'm glad that she held her ground and move on.

Although I'm a bit confused why she is considered a villainess in her first life. Rather I think she just... more>> a misunderstood girl who tried to fit in with her biological family after separated for 15 years.

I would say that everyone will agree that the ML is such a perfect imperfectly boyfriend/ husband material from the way he protect & care for the MC. Even during the time that he misunderstood the MC like other guy, he doesn't try to force the MC to like him and at the same time still care for her. Aside from this, I like that although the ML came from ultra rich family, the ML a is just a normal rebellious teenager.

I also like that the MC doesn't want the heroine halo because
Spoiler

. If it's the halo of the heroine at the cost of stepping on others to climb up, inflicting on them, and sacrificing those who care about it, it would be better to be an ordinary person and live this life with your own efforts.

She has a mature & rational minds. If it's othe girls, they probably will not think this deep.

Also, although all the family is quite messed up, I actually surprise with the grandfather attitude.
Spoiler

rather than tried to break this couple apart, his calculate that it is more cost efficient for them to be together

The novel has a plot hole here and there but overall it's an entertaining story to read. <<less

this is soooo cute! :3 the MC and ML are clueless in love and the ML is a puppy in love. I really like their relationship and their mutual give and take!!

the major con of this novel is the whole anti adopted kids agenda. Adopted kids are still Your Kids!!! You don't get to throw them aside just cause u don't want them anymore. Honestly the whole family is terrible and toxic like you managed to raise 3 boys but can't reside 2 girls at the same time? The sister... more>> really got the short end of the stick by being spoiled growing up, then suddenly getting blamed by for how the rest of the family treated the MC.

I love this story. I love the relationship development between ML and FL. They are both so cute together. And ML is so papamering. Everything he does is so cute and heartwarming. To be honest, I am not really good at explaining romance. But you should read if you want a sweet and heartwarming school life. ML's family also accepts FL without many problems.

... more>>
Spoiler

The grandpa was really accepting her because he knew that ML would not accept anyone else. It was also a hassle in his eyes. PS. I have never done a spoiler before so I am sorry if I mess up.

[collapse]

I kinda feel sorry for the oriFL. She is a teen so she wouldn't know any better. She was spoil and loved by everyone since young. So she would feel that way toward FL whose had everyone's attention. Some of her actions were indeed terrible and not excusable, but remember she was spoiled and loved by everyone. She is also a TEENAGER while FL is older than her mentally. If her family had taught her the right way then she wouldn't have been like that. Also when FL left the house, and everyone's attention was on her instead of oriFl. She would feel like no one cares about her anymore. I feel like if only the family had taught her the right way or shown her the right path then she wouldn't have been like that.

But likewise, I still loved the story. I especially liked ML. He is so cute and caring. <<less

Simply a great read. It’s just so pleasant and refreshing <3 There is drama but MC is taking none of the bull that’s being thrown at her, she’s strong and independent but is also a good person. She has awesome people around her that support her after she became friends with them so I think It’s realistic. ML is amazing as well, he may seem like a tsundere at first but he is actually a caring type that only has MC in his eyes. The amount of cute moments overshadow... more>> drama. It’s satisfying how MC stands up for herself and is decisive <<less

Good read.

MTL: 3.5☆

I really like MC. She knows when to cut her losses. Even in her previous life (it just didnt matter because in her 1st life, the plot wants her dead.)

... more>>
Spoiler

In the extra, it was shown that she left the family. She cut off contact with them in the end. But unfortunately, she cant stop the plot from killing her with terminal illness. The Zhao family was only able to see her after she died already.

[collapse]

MC is also quite hardworking. And she knows how to cherish people who really loves her.

Spoiler

Just a thought, I disagree with other comments saying MC could've said something. Its easier said than done. She actually doesnt have to, I mean its basic decency is for them to learn what she likes, what she dislikes. Theyre her family. She just came back. MC was the one out of her comfort zone. She was on their home base. Also, few days later her adopted grandma who took care of her passed away, they didnt seemed to have compensated her for raising MC (Im really pissed off with this).

They should have taken the first step to get to know her. And if she did say something, it could even backfire, like..

I've read another novel like this, the bio mom also said, 'She shouldve said something', but the adopted mom countered, 'If she said something, would you believe it? Didnt you always thought she was wrong? If she says she's allergic, maybe you wouldve still thought she was squeamish. If she says the skirt you brought cant be worn to work you would've still thought she was being picky, or high maintenance'

Also, it was mentioned here:

The reason that Zhao Yuan can speak out was because she has been in a honey pot since she was a child, and she was educated to be innocent, and she would speak out if she needed anything.

But Mingxi did not. She lived in a different environment since she was a child, and she was used to carrying everything herself.

But their family treats two children with different personalities in the same way.

- Zhao Zhanhuai, MTL C 23

[collapse]

Honestly, I feel conflicted about the Zhao Family. I feel bad for them, then I see their flashbacks of what they have done to MC and its just painful and I hated them.

Spoiler

I dont know what would be the best ending for them. But I think this slightly open ending for them is a better ending than having reconciliation just for plot sake.

I like how MC was still (very) slightly soft hearted with 3rd bro at one part in the bit near end. He was still young, naive and immature. Though he made a mistake, I cant stop feeling bad about how miserable he was after his kinda bestfriend/sis left. So I really like the part were she felt soften by his helpless appearance that she kinda agree at visiting the cat he had taken in, though it was not put out that she really visited. For him its still a kind of salvation.

[collapse]

Its also nice, that MC was able to let go of the chance of becoming the heroine. She just left enough luck for herself to make sure she doesnt suddenly died because of accident or terminal illness, to heal ML.

ML is such a cutiepie ❤ <<less

The romance is good and the leads are both very likeable, but imo if you want a novel that's calming and fluffy, focusing on the relationship of the leads, this is not it.

Due to the premise (neglected real daughter and her family actually having a conscience), a lot of the novel focuses on them realizing how they'd mistreated her and their attempts at redemption. That's a good thing and the novel wouldn't be complete without it, but to me, it overshadows both the System aspect and the romance. I feel... more>> like the novel is just one long face-slapping event over the course of 75 chapters and couldn't help but skim and skip several chapters of it, thus missing out on a lot of the other parts of the plot too. <<less

ML and MC are so cute!!! The MC's family is quite hateful, but in all fairness the drama was very moving. I cried my eyes out when I read about MC's sufferings which she hid from her "family". She sacrificed her time cooking for them and trying to be closer to them, but she gets nothing in return. They even favored the fake daughter even if they clearly knew that she's not the biological one. Gosh they didn't even give her a chance. I'm glad she left them and... more>> she didn't forgive them like those other MCs in other novels. I'm glad they're gonna live the rest of their life regretting their actions. They were just that hateful. ML is the sweetest ever. He's always there for her, and his tsundere-ness is just the right amount for me. There's a total of 75 chapters. Go read the extras at a chinese site. Someone posted the link on this novel's MTL. <<less

The good things:

  1. Character development of ML
  2. Relationship development of ML & FL
  3. FL is resolute at the things that are important to her. She didn't decide to play tricks or do underhanded things just because she's at a position of power
  4. Decisive ending instead of trying to drag the plot and drama out for more chapters
  5. I guess there was some kind of closure for all the parties involved in this novel.
The bad things:

  1. I feel like the author forgot the system halfway through the novel
  2. I'm a little disappointed that the "terminal disease" doesn't make an appearance or play any bigger role apart from it's mentions in the beginning and ending
  3. It's a high school drama novel, predictable plots. If you like that kind of things, this would be a good thing for you.
  4. There's so much foreshadowing on ML's backstory but when it finally appeared, it was underwhelming and disappointing.
  5. Predictable dogblood plots?
3/5 Stars because it was a good read but lost a lot of steam at 50+ chps. I had hoped for a little more tragedy in this, but it was pretty fluffy.

It's suprisingly good despite the classic troupe!

MC is decisive and straightforward. And what I like about her is how she didn't lose her positive energy after what happened in the past life, she still has the vitality and hope for a better future, truly admirable! She's also as bold as ever and I like how she likes to tease ML but still has the shyness any girl would have on their first relationship. But I have to admit she has thicker skin than ML lol though it's a good thing... more>> since ML is such a tsun xD I like how she only cares about the things around in the present. She didn't bat an eye on any unrelated matters. Just living fully in the moment with no regrets, I like her like that.

ML IS REALLY CUTE. He never fails to attract my amusement on his actions and thoughts. He is a good child actually, it's just his past makes him looks like some kind of bad gangster, that's explain how he was still somehow educated and never truly fights despite his bad reputation. He's cute lol I have to say it twice because he really is. Although it's kinda pitiful that he misunderstand MC's kindness to him, but it's still funny regardless. He didn't really know how to catch a girl's heart, but everything he did was to please her. Anything that'll make her happy he'll do it. For example:
Spoiler

When MC is drunk and cry missing her deceased grandma, he directly call a private jet and take her to her hometown overnight (rich boy xD)

[collapse]

Anyway he's really cute. His jealousy is cute as well lol. And I have to say the way MC deal with his jealousy is funny, she can put up with it and sweet talk to him but at some point she'll scold him instead lol

There are so many things I like about this couple. I like how MC, after finally knowing ML's feeling for her, understands the meaning of his every move. And I like how ML didn't give up on MC after knowing the bitter truth, I almost thought he had given up T.T And don't forget
Spoiler

even though everyone suspect MC of using him as a tool to make Shen Liyao jealous, ML never think so. I absolutely like how he trust MC's personality even after going through such a bitter heartbreak

[collapse]

Well in the conclusion I like both MC and ML's personality. The only thing I feel can be developed a little bit is ML's family's thing. The ending seems too abrupt, it almost feels like the author just rushed to close his family matters.

As for other characters, their friends are good, and the families are... well, they deserved it.

Ah another good light youthful story <<less

ML is very cute. It doesn't take long for him to fall for MC thinking she is pursuing him. MC acts bit dense. Everyone thought she was pursuing ML bcz of her actions.

I don't like ml's grandfather. It is not ml's fault for being alive when his father and brother died. But everyone s*upidly blames him making his life hell. Nothing can excuse their behaviour towards ML just bcz of their grief.
