Professional Body Double

Description

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

ZhouXiang didn’t know if God was giving him a second chance to live because he wanted to give him extra loving care or was it because he hasn’t messed with him enough.

Otherwise, how could it be that both in and out of his entertainment career, whether it was in his past life or his current life, YanMingXiu would consider him as the substitute for the same person.

He also didn’t know, between him and Young Master Yan, who was actually more pitiful; the one who could only be treated as a substitute or the one could only find a substitute.

In his past life, ZhouXiang was the stuntman for the big star WangYudong.

But not just as his martial art stuntman…..

Even within his deeply ill-fated relationship with YanMingXiu, he was also undeniably a complete substitute.

Disheartened, ZhouXiang went with a group of documentary film crew into the deep valleys of the treacherous mountains. Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and fell off a cliff .

When he awakened again, it was already two years later. Nevertheless, he awakened in another person’s body.

What is even more tragic is that he still couldn’t escape the fate of being a substitute…

T/N: 替身: Tishen is a person who replaces another; a substitute, in filming the tishen is a stuntman/body-double.

This novel is very emotional and I cried too many time... even so I still love this novel and eat 97 chapters in one go.

It may take really really along time to see the sunshine and rainbow but it's worth it.

Now I do understand what warning at the 1st chapter all about...

... more>> MC is too nice and become s*upid because of face and love for ML.

I wish MC would be honest and stop with lies that just make sh*t worse.

I rarely see someone with MC luck and always be at wrong place over and over again... II wish I could unseen the 10~40 too painful for my taste. I cried a bit especially when we are getting closer to ch. 40

After ch.40 all I want to scream out is No, don't, you can't, don't accept it, here we go again and so on...

60 ch. in and all I feel is still pain... when will we get sunshine and rainbow?

ch.80 in and I'm still depressed. I never thought that this novel is so f**king depressing.

Spoiler

The boss of the companyis very suspicious with all traveling to Tibet. I bet he is the one that "gave" MC the second chance (I'm at ch. 93

I fell in inlove with this novel and its still one of the best novels I’ve read. I never give reviews but I can’t bare to see lower ratings on this story.

If you’re gonna start a novel please check the tags, if any of it makes you uncomfortable then don’t even start reading it and gives low rating due to its content because you’re just being unfair.

I you’re into angst and dog blood then you’re definitely gonna love this. I’ve read this story twice and still fell in love over... more>> and over with our MC. Such a precious bean.

happy reading! <<less

My heart was literally torn to pieces all throughout the story. I did enjoy my suffering, but not ZhouXiang's. Definitely giving this 5 stars, but won't probably reread in the future goodness that was too much angst for my heart

Rating: 4/5- Angsty, messed up but a huge page turner. I was captivated.

I put this book off for quite some time as it was marked as a heavily angsty read. In my opinion, it wasn’t as terrible as some angst ridden novels I’ve read prior. I didn’t shed any tears for the characters. I think they were both complex and silly in their own ways and all the consequences they faced were because of their own decisions. These are two characters who are just destined for misery and they are... more>> both all too willing to accept that fact.

The author portrayed this quite well without it feeling exhaustive. I did feel bad for the MC to repeat the same mistakes from his previous life, but I also think that sometimes rebirth isn’t all it’s made out to be. In the MCs case we get to see how no matter how much he wishes things could be different, his choices still led him to repeat history which proves that perhaps you can’t escape your fate.

Overall the relationship was unhealthy from the start and in all honesty I don’t think the realism stuck to the end, which was the only disappointment for me, having such a strong premise with complex and frustrating characters- the ending fell flat with a very forced fluff type relationship. Maybe I’ll just being fussy but it felt really off tone after reading such struggles for over 100 chapters.

The ML has serious psychological issues that will affect their relationship not just from their first interaction but all the built up emotion from the 3 years of grief. The MC has serious self-esteem issues and trust issues that will always show itself in their relationship. I think the author set herself up with fantastic characters but even she was out of her league when it came to closing off their characters.

I really liked the MLs brother, definitely a favorite character of mine. All the other characters were suitable and well rounded. I’d have liked to see more punishment for the brother in law but I guess he got his ending.

Overall not as angsty as some have made it out to be. I feel like the characters are complex and realistic and the story played out as most likely as it could with their past interactions.

Very captivating overall so worth the read if you’re into relationship centred plots with heavy emphasis on emotional turmoil and bad choices. <<less

This is what you call 5 star angst. Don't worry, it's not a BE. But your heart will be smashed many times in the process.

50/50

If you're a sucker of dog blood dramas, s*um gongs, as in a**hole, jerk, bastard, you name it. Then congrats! You're in the right place.

On other hand, if you can't stand s*upid-slash-tr*sh-possesive MLs and s*upid-martyr MCs (well I wouldn't really call the MC s*upid, just a hopeless fool in love lol) then you better stay away or this story will just piss you off real good.

As for me, I'm the former. I'm not really a sucker of s*um gong, hence I never though I'd like this, I just came for... more>> the angst and yes. The ANGST is real. If you don't mind the dog-blood drama.

Why call it dog blood?
Spoiler

I mean, I know the main driver of the plot is the rebirth part, but it's a pity that MC had to die first before ML own up to his feelings ☠️. You die and still give the ML second chance? Is life like an item that once you broke you can still repair it? And imagine you died then woke up in another body 2 years later, then they found your skeleton in a remote village. What will you do? Check out your own skeleton and plan your own funeral? Then you discovered the area was surrounded by armies (???seriously??? I'm just nobody-stuntman) brought by the obsessed ML. Then you saw ML locked himself up in a dark room with your own skeleton... Uhm. So there.

[collapse]

Aside from that, it's really written well. I love the pacing. I also love the ending which is very satisfying.
Spoiler

Except for the fact that the MC never even got to smack once on the face that guy surnamed Wang. Because of this guy I've become so vengeful.

It was really kind of funny to see some people who have read this warning others that this will be full of drama and if you're into fluff, you should skip this. I'm not from China and of course I grew up reading novels from my country, and I'm telling you, this is more tolerable than the novels I have read regarding to the attitude of the ML, I'm kind of immune to stories like this so I'm really into this plot. I'm actually giving this three stars for now... more>> because I haven't finished it, but it's really interesting. <<less

I really enjoyed reading this it's so good but my advice to who didn't read it yet read the flashback before reading the first 4 chapters

In the flashback in some parts I was really angry for how selfless the MC was and how arrogant the ML even after the flashback end th ML was so annoying but I think the punishment he got is ease my anger and make me bity him

I'm really happy with the plot and the ending result

Four years later and I reread this novel. Angst is good. Doesn't really feel like a love story if that's what your looking for. Read it if you're looking for pain and angst.

I actually wanted to rate 3 stars, but I guess it's not that bad and RosySpell did a really good job for the translation.

So yeah, and btw this is my first time reading this type of novels, with angst and drama. There is part that I dissatisfied with, but I guess it's just my fragile heart XD

I'm actually skipping some parts towards the end, but overall it's good but not too good for me.

I'm not gonna put spoilers, because honestly, reading it without spoilers is actually better to judge whether... more>> this book is good or not. I was hestitated at first because some of the reviews but yeah, I want to train my heart so.... LoL XD

For the drama, I guess since this is my first time so I cannot say how much drama it is compare to other novels. But it is makes me mad (in the comment section XD) , happy and sad so.. Maybe you can try :)

And last, thank you RosySpell for the wonderful translation XD <<less

I don't even remember how many times I come to this page and today I'm very surprised to find that I didn't rate and review to this story.

As most readers said in their reviews, this one is a very good angst story. I love the MC and oddly I also like the ML. He's just too young to know about love. MC is too good of a person and that 'too good' makes him suffers.

I love how well the writer plot the story and I also love how well the... more>> translator translated. <<less

The most tiring and exhausting read, to think that I love ab*se and r*pey actions. Just too much descriptions and narrations, too many repeats. The whole story could have just fit 50 chapters.

I usually avoid melodrama and angst and this one is really full of it, complete with misunderstandings, jealous side characters, love triangle and tragedy. My heart was ab*sed many many times, feeling continuous heartache for both MC and ML. This author really likes to make you cry haha

While sometimes the drama felt too contrived, the characters for the most part were coherent and realistic. The author delves deep into the couple's feelings and mindset, going into every little bit of heartache and pain but often repeating too much of the... more>> same thing over and over. As the translators mentioned, the author likes drama and her other book that I read before "Beloved enemy" does have the same vibe.

It is really a good read, very well written and translated, solid characters grounded in realism and with some good smut but not a book I would read again because of too much ab*se on my heart haha <<less
