One Useless Rebirth

Description

He Bai won the lottery, became rich, and reached the pinnacle of life. Then, he inadvertently took a picture of the Film Emperor Di Qiuhe being killed. And after reporting this case to the police, he was reborn in a midst of confusion.

He Bai: I don’t have any horrible relatives to ab*se. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I do.

He Bai: I also haven’t been betrayed or harmed by anyone. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I have.

He Bai: I just want to have some money to live freely and eat well. I already achieved that goal, so why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: I have money, but don’t live freely or well.

He Bai angrily flips the table: So what’s the use of my rebirth! Just to make me suffer again?!

Di Qiuhe (Holding and Touching He Bai): Be my lover, you’re only responsible for eating “lollipops,” you won’t eat any bitterness.

He Bai: Leave!

This is really good! I love He Bai and also Di Qiuhe, their relationships is really good. They literally made my standards high ... more>>
Spoiler

Like even before they confessed, how He Bai went to the shooting location to celebrate DQH's bday with fireworks, omg I literally fell in love with He Bai here HAHAHHAH what more DQH?

[collapse]

Although the villains were honestly just annoying, but their reappearance are justified cause MC and ML aren't really that OP yet, considering how young they still are.

I just love their relationship, i'd be happy being with someone like them HAHHAHA
Spoiler

the confession to the public ehe, also I love how HB confessed the previous life to DQH although he said it was like a dream

[collapse]

Other characters are also good, I like how there is only one couple here for the whole time, I don't like the story being sidetracked for side couples when I read this for the main couple 😌.

Reread? HMMM, it's actually quite sweet hmmmm

Recommeded? Definitely!! Especially those who like simple but sweet slice of life type of stories <<less

(3.5, maybe 4 if you're very very merciful)

The plot itself is great, alright. The two main characters are goal-oriented people and the push-and-pull of rich family drama is written as decently messy, yet engaging enough. I like the focus on photography as a job.

I like the couple when they get along, it's really cute. They're kinda funny and I love that for them.

... more>> I like how they use the rebirth thing, there's a few back-and-forth in the middle and near the end and it's interesting.

But there's one glaring problem with this story that really drags it down for me.

Spoiler

The MC is f*cking annoying when the couple has problem. There's three times the couple fights, plus another one near the end that's really need-less and totally an author's asspull just to get MC in danger. I only completely agree with the MC in the first fight where ML deceived him.

How to say this? MC and ML are both childish, but the people around them only seemed to see ML's childishness.

Like, ML is childish and he did bad things, yes. But the MC ain't much better with his hang-up and blocking numbers game, playing runaway so “ML would focus on his job” without enough preparation or information or even discussion about it and then when he gets sick somehow people only looks at the ML.

I mean, MC feels bad about it, but it doesn't have in-world recognitions from other people that what MC did is also a bad thing. Especially since at the beginning there's this emphasis on “MC's a thirty year old, he's so mature and whatever”.

The ML is also childish, but at least it was recognised and reacted to properly by the people around him that the things he did are childish and/or bad.

I'm a little mad at this novel. The beginning was so so good but by the middle (when the ML's family drama really amps up) it felt like I was reading a different novel. The writing style and characterization of the MC were so different than the tone in the first half. I don't know if it's because there was a change in translator or change in author, but I wasn't a fan of the 'new style'.

I liked the characters and the plot had so much potential but ultimately it... more>> failed to live up to it. Pick it up if you have spare time, it's a pretty easy read, but there's definitely better out there. <<less

At first, I read this just to pass time. But it ended really cute! The plot is not bad, but what I love most is the ending part? The part about their previous life and the what-if alternatives! I was hoping for something sad but the ending was still very sweet! Would recommend to read for the comedy and sweet endings!

I had saved this novel in my "plan to read" list and kept putting it off. It just seemed pretty mellow and cute but not too interesting. I WAS SO WRONG!! This is an amazing read.

The story is about a photographer who suddenly returns to his university days after reporting a mu*der. As his younger self, he starts running into the actor who was mu*dered prior to transmigrating and decides to try to help him out a bit. They become friends and try to work together to have a better... more>> future.

I really love this novel because it's not love at first sight, the two characters don't even consider the fact that they might like the same gender. I find this pretty interesting and unique in this genera. When it does get romantic, it's very sweet but not cheesy and overdone.

All in all, I 100% recommend. Great read. <<less

This story has been on my To Read list for forever and I’m so glad I decided to actually skim through the synopsis and reviews again and read it. Absolutely adorable story, with so much dog food later on when the MC and ML become a couple and even before they actually got into a relationship. I love that the MC is strong and independent, and is absolutely not the weaker one in the relationship. The MC and ML both care for each other so much, so even though it... more>> feels like they’re constantly arguing or getting into fights, it’s not too annoying since they basically feel regretful for the other person immediately and make up.

Not an innocent novel by any means though the s*x scenes are quite vague. At first this would have been a top recommendation from me for anyone looking for a BL novel, but the translation quality really deteriorated, with tons of mistakes everywhere. Would have been such a gem if it weren’t for that. <<less

I feel like I didn’t give this much of a chance 🤔 Maybe it’s the translation?? The second translation is pretty rough, so it was a bit difficult to get into it. The characters were cute tho! I think I would have liked to see more of them, but my tolerance is pretty low when it comes to poorly written text 😭😭😭 Anyway, I’m giving it a 3 star for now. I’ll try and reread it another time.

As for the details... this is a slow burn romance with a very... more>> vanilla setting. It follows the career of the MC (who is a photographer) and the development of the MC and the ML’s relationship. The latter is more fun than the former, which was a little ehhh for me (I don’t understand photography at all T.T, for the uncultured me, a photo is a photo djksksks). The ML is a bit wild here. He’s childish and impulsive. The MC catches his attention after a couple of chance encounters where the MC’s innate kindness shows through. From that point on, the ML continues to approach the MC while the MC challenges his career path. Nothing exciting really happens, or at least not yet. Which is one of the reasons why I ended up giving it up even after persisting for a while. If you don’t mind simple, modern setting stories like this, then perhaps you’ll like the story more than me! <<less

Don’t love it don’t hate it. I think the romance was pretty dull and immature. Felt like both MC and ML regressed to age 10 whenever they were together. There are good aspects like both of them are fairly equal, they’re very fond of each other and they’re both fun capable characters to read about. But the way they bicker really was annoying.

Just pay attention to completed reviews

Or at least the ones that gave a fair try not just dropped for nothing

IT'S A GREAT STORY ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED

... more>> I really want you to read this So I'll give a quick review for each of characters, plot, side characters, villains and then explain

CHARACTERS (FOR development, thought process, being interesting and lovely) :A BIG 10/10

The characters are absolutely lovely they are smart bot not 2D as like all the normal people they have different aspects to their personality and different behavior to different people yet their process and changes are according to logic.

MC : he is lovely he is a good guy not perfect but good.

WHAT I REALLY LIKE about the story is that he isn't hotheaded because of being reborn and being better than some kids half of his age if anything his age had thought him how to be humble he knows that he is good at somethings but also he's aware that it's partly because of experience and also knows there are things that he isn't good at them so he tries to be better

Also he has a good moral he isn't going to forgot about all his reborn knowledge but he use them when it's fair and he won't steal other people's opportunity

ML : he is ADORABLE. Growing up in a toxic environment, he is Smart know how to defend and counterattack schemes. But he is also a young man who hasn't seen nearly enough love in his life so when he finds someone he can trust he lets his guard down acting how he wanted, playful and spoiled sometimes but it is not bad at all because he knows how and when to be mature and also takes a good care of his partner when he should if anything I don't think he is childish but he acts childish sometimes which are totally different and it's not annoying because he knows when to behave.

STORY PLOT (FOR going according to logic, being interesting and having good ideas, lack of loop holes, not being boring or giving useless info,) : 9, 9/10

Honestly I'm not a fan of modern Chinese novel nor entertainment genre but it was soo good

The only problem might be that he doesn't find how he was reborn (not why, there is a good reason for that)

SIDE CHARACTERS (back storys, having a good reason for being there, not just vanishing because Author doesn't want them anymore, having a rational behavior and not just because there is a need for a bad/good guy.) :10/10

they are all great really one of the best side characters ever

I really hate when someone is just offensive because Author needs a angry mc/ML or someone likes mc/ML just because there is a need for a supporter and then when it's done they just vanish like they are some kind of decor instead of living humans

There is no such thing here. All the characters are well described but not overly long or boring like there is this character that is mc's second roommate he doesn't talk much nor has a lots of scenes but Author describes him so good that you can't help like/loving him.

Villains: not just being bad because there is need for bad guys, not just drop dead because mc/ML has first role halo:10/10

all in all this isn't some kind of masterpiece to remain in history but it's a good one

You will enjoy reading this feel the comedy, love, sympathy and in some minor parta pain of the story. And if you pay attention you might learn a thing or two. <<less

A beautiful love story!!

I really got the feeling of watching your child grow up while reading this novel. There is such a character growth in Main couple.

The MC who was reborn for ML is dissatisfied for why he have to be reborn. On the other hand their fate intertwined. Their relationship grows step by step, it's not a typical slow romance cause we'll be feed with dog food all the way till the end. They grow from strangers to friends to brothers to best friends to lovers and forever. The... more>> family conflict is the major villain part while all other are pure fluff and love. I love that through out the story the leads never went out of character.

When I reached the end and turned to look back at the beginning of the story, I felt like I too come a long way along with those wonderful characters, how they met first and how they are after their 25th anniversary.

Just one word : BEAUTIFUL

GIVE IT A TRY!! If you like a story with light plot full of love, then you will enjoy this. <<less

I just had to come here and say that this is amazing. There's fluffy, face slap, good friends, power couple, bad guys getting bad ends and good guys getting good ends. There's a lot of dog food and the only drama is the ML family. I like that MC isn't a lady bottom and the ML isn't an super stereotype seme.

The revenge was so satisfying, I was screaming everytime someone was punished, maybe I'm a super fan of face slap. The romance develops at a really good pace, with MC... more>> and ML going from acquaintances to friends to confession to lovers, and in the extras there are more informations about it, so don't skip them!

The focus is a romance full of dog food and family face slap, but there's a lot of bad family members, so the frequency of revenge is a little bit too much, or you can just skip and read only the fluffy too.

And MC's friends, they're so good friends, like, buddies for life. And some of the side couples could have more time screen, not in the main text (it would be a little bit much side character to talk about), but it would be good to have 2-3 extras about all of them. In terms of MC and ML ending it was perfect, there's nothing to complain about.

I'd make an review of 10 pages about everything I liked on this novel, but I want to make it shorter. It's only a bit of my love for this novel, I'm certain I'll read it at least 2 more times, it's a soul cleanser. <<less

Actually, I too, was influenced by the reader who dropped this at the 20th chapter, but what they stated wasn't all false either.

Like the other reviewers who rated this novel a bit low, I was very, very annoyed by the male lead in the beginning. Harassing the protagonist almost every chapter is not exactly a great way to start a relationship. And don't even get me started on his childish behaviour. Also, the Male leads family situation was not exactly very new? I guess? It was preeeetty easy to guess... more>> what would happen in the later parts of the story. And then you know, the face slapping followed and it was kinda disappointing to be honest.

Moving on the later chapters, one might feel something like, 'oh yes, this is nice, photography trivia, good', but then the same stuff drags till about 200 chapters, and I was frankly tired. And to tell you the truth, the translation quality was not good in the beginning, it was filled with grammatical errors and to the credit of the translator, it did improve a lot later, but...≡ (▔﹏▔) ≡

To sum it up, here's three main points which I did not like about this novel-

  • The male lead. (he does get better later, but I like to hold on to my grudges (〜 ̄▽ ̄) 〜)
  • The length. OH GOD I HATED IT! EVERY TIME I LOOKED AT THE CHAPTER NUMBER THAT I WAS AT, IT SEEMED NOWHERE NEAR 200 AND THE MERE THOUGHT OF MORE 100 CHAPTERS OF THE SAME LOVEY DOVEY STUFF WHICH WAS NOT EVEN THAT GOOD AND THE FACE SLAPPING MADE ME WANT TO CRY!!! uhm. moving on.
  • And lastly, the plot. It was meh to be honest. The only redeeming factor was the photography bit.
In the end, I would neither advise you to read this novel, nor to completely avoid it either. If you like the synopsis even just a little bit, simply read it. Don't be affected by the negative reviews (I would know this as I tend to do this a lot). Make your own judgements. <<less

I’m in a loss of words after this ending. Oh my. So much emotion and I need to stop crying to summarize my thought and write this review. In short, I totally recommend you this novel and this author! Author! I love you! Thank you for such a nice works.

Like in other novels of this author here we have a quite an uncommon and not cliche, as for me, relationships and ML especially. Really, each time ML and MC going thought such a character grows. You can see so much... more>> change and grows that it’s just awesome. Characters shows their other sides. The whole novel seems quite real. Not sure how to explain my thoughts normally) And here we even have some mystery. I love this plot.

The plot have a dog food, face slapping, revenge, comedy and a lot of photographer things. I love the photography, so it was quite enjoyable in this aspect. Not so much of drama, which is good for me. Not much of fluff, which I also like. Even though it is quite long I was not bored when reading it.

Really like this story. I’m hoping to read more stories from this author. It is really gold and author is talented. Recommend you to try it for yourself. <<less

I've jus read the 1st chapter. The reason I came back here is because:

1. The translator put a link at the end of the chapter

2. I'd read the reviews prior and I honestly don't understand why so many reviews are negative. You can't expect a 20 y/o guy who hasn't likely received any sort of loving to behave like a 35 y/o.

Maybe I'll edit this to add something after completing the novel or maybe I won't. However, so far so good

Bestestest Novel!!!

Absolutely Fabulous, Fantastic, Fantastically Fabulous!!!

One of the Best Novel I read. In rebirth novels, generally, MC travels back in time to fulfill his wish or get his revenge, etc. But here for the first time ever, I read MC travelling back in time just to save ML. Not because he felt pity or was in love with ML, NOOO...

... more>>
Spoiler

It was a coincidence that MC recovered a solid evidence of ML's Killer in the 1st life. MC had also drank a drugged juice which was originally to be given to ML. Which is why after ML died, MC died after a few days.

When MC woke up, he had reincarnated in his college days with all his memories. He even meet ML and tries his best to warn him. MC is a naturally cute and caring person which is why ML fells for him.

[collapse]

There is no love at first sight. And it was so sweet yet hilarious how they became a Couple 😍🥰

Highly recommended to all BL RomCom fans!! This Novel won't disappoint you. 🔥🔥 <<less

It's actually pretty good and I'm sure it would be even nicer if the translation retained its style- it gives the impression of reading it in MTL. I also did not get what they were saying in some places and the names which were only surnames, bothered me. Like; "Di is a henpecked husband, He likes photography."

MC's attitude is like his real age (30+) sometimes but more of only a 20 years old most of the time. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but it did make my hopes... more>> up of reading a poised MC, still though, this MC is perfectly fine on his own.

ML is childish, totally not what you'd expect for a film emperor. I actually thought that he was also reborn because of the summary but turns out it's not? I waited for quite some time to see what chapter he would expose himself (also because he took the initiative to throw his family away when in the first life he did not.) Anyway, I'm seeing a lot of concerns and drops over ML's action in the first half? It gets better I swear and that kind of behavior didn't get to see the light in the next chapters.

I quite like how the couple goes through every tribulation that comes their way and I love how everyone is just so supportive!! The novel also puts importance on MC's photography and that's nice.

The overall novel is nice, my only main concern is the translation.

4/5! <<less

I got bored with this and dropped it around chapter 80.

One, ML's inability to even distinguish what reactions there are when liking someone just bothered me.

Two, the story started off nicely but went downhill.

Three, I found myself skipping a lot which is to say I got bored with the story and the plot wasn't that anchoring enough.

Well, I tell others from my preference this one is a good, no quite excellent, and unique bl novel.

First MC and ML didn't fell in love at first sight like other bl novels instead the interaction between the two is so cute and wholesome that it feels like quite a natural scene.

... more>>
Spoiler

Their first interaction was like MC just unconsciously took picture of ML

“Next time don’t take a picture in such an obvious position, someone will end up beating you up.” Di Qiuhe put his backpack on, stopped a cab, got on, and left.

After He Bai was sprayed a face of car exhaust, he looked at the camera in his arms, and realized too late, “Hey! What are you trying to say! I’m NOT puparazzi!

and at that time MC actually wanted to take picture of a girl playing with a pup.

[collapse]

Actually, I laughed so much in all chapters. Whenever MC and ML interacted it was just comedy. Well ML started to feel somewhat obsessed with MC later on but the start was natural.

There is this character I feel quite a sympathy with too. ML is too childish for him to handle.

Spoiler

Di Qiuhe: Xiuwen, my younger brother is cute.

Jiang Xiuwen:..... What makes you think that Di Xiasong, a hypocritical man is cute? Are you controlled by witchcraft?

Di Qiuhe: What is the qualification for Di Xiasong to be my younger brother? Does he have dimples on his face? Is he as cute as a puppy, as considerate as a puppy? Can he roll his eyes like a puppy?

Jiang Xiuwen: Who is a puppy? Wait a minute, why I feel this name is familiar..... you are not talking about that male fan of yours, are you? Is that White and Whiter that you tricked with using your second account?

Di Qiuhe: Yes, he is not only my fan, but also my junior at college, who can be called as younger brother. As his upperclassman, I shall protect him well.

Jiang Xiuwen: I have helped you to register at the hospital, the reservation for an expert, expert in psychiatry department. Do remember to go there on time, do not waste my money.

Di Qiuhe: You are jealous.

Jiang Xiuwen:..... I beg you, please take your medicine.

[collapse]

XD the guy is quite worried for his own mental health!!

Especially the ML doesn't just simply jump to assumption like 'Does this attraction means I love him?' This MC and ML pair are quite Normal and we can imagine and enjoy it easily. MC's life and ML's life also described in a unique way. ML first takes MC as a brother and arbitrary teases him. He lives up to his childish personality.

Because of his childish decisions he talks to MC as a girl too but uses the poor pitiful guy as a scapegoat I laughed so hard when MC came to see this 'Miss Jiang Xiuwen. XD oh my god I laughed like hell

Spoiler

Jiang Xiuwen rocked the coffee cup gently and asked in a good mood, “See what? Don’t ham and haw. As a front-desk receptionist, you must be able to put thoughts into clear speech. Come on, don’t be afraid. Speak it loud.”

The girl darted a careful glance at him and made up her mind to cry out in a high voice, “He said... He said he had a few things to talk with Miss Jiang Xiuwen!”

Yikea!

The coffee Jiang Xiuwen had drunk spurted from his mouth.

and another case about ML's friend was when MC sent fruits to him which he received from ML.

“No, nothing. I notice that the fruits are very fresh, so I want to buy some for my family, too. It seems you have a good friend. Even in border province he still remembers to send you fruits. I’m a bit jealous.” He laughed, but deep in his heart, he had chopped Di Qiuhe into meat sauce. Di never gave him a call, but he had time to send fruits to He Bai. And he made such a mess for him to clean up? WTF. He should stop making shitty friends going forward.

[collapse]

pitiful!! too much!! Chapter 29 almost killed the guy!! Our MC is really too innocent~

With the case of friends, we got another one Lao San. That one incident in his home swimming pool killed me

Spoiler

MC unknowingly threw his phone in the pool which was the last thing his parents left him, ML jumped inside Lao San's home so security people came to catch ML for intruding. The ML jumped in the water to save MC's phone. But later remembered he couldn't swim and MC jumped to save him while Lao San jumped to help him save his phone. The Chef saw his master jumping into the pool where the intruder jumped and jumped to save him.

The security that arrived: “... ”

[collapse]

Oh Gosh, this novel from start was too much!!

The story is really progressing beautifully. Do read such a unique novel (I read 50 chapters without sleep and now taking a break) <<less

Loved it, at first I thought ML was going to be a big a-hole but omg, he's the "puppy" in the relationship, a huge softie underneath that mask he put up to protect himself. I really enjoyed watching the MC and ML develop a relationship, they're so adorable together. There are definitely dark moments but the overall story is very lighthearted and full of fluff and romance. I would say the story is pretty predictable but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Definitely more of a story to read... more>> for the characters than the plot though.

One downside is that I think the novel really could have used an editor, major spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the entire novel, so be warned, but it isn't to the point where you don't know what's going on. <<less
