Rebirth of a Movie Star

Description

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

In his previous life Bai Lang was a small star. He rejected his boss and foolishly engaged in a relationship which he thought was true love.

He didn’t expect that he would get betrayed, die of a heart attack and trouble his boss to accompany him on his last journey.

After his rebirth, he decided to give up on true love. As for his boss… since he wants something then just let him have it.

So this little star after his rebirth collected his boss, and then it became a true love story with his boss.

In between there are good friends/love rivals/s*um men in the mix. A sweet story with a happy ending.

The story is very refreshing and cute. 100% recommended

  • The plot isn’t complicated
  • The translations are amazing
  • Side characters are well written
  • The story is quick and simple, and not slow
  • I really love the MC and ML development, at first the MC didn’t trust the ML that much but as the story progressed the MC and ML was able to trusted and relied on each other
  • ML son (Qiu XiaoHai) is so adorable
  • The story is a mixture of revenge, slice of life, and fluff
  • I really ship Qiu XiaoHai with Rong Zan
  • The ML is very possessive and protective of the mc
  • MC is a kind person and doesn’t think about revenge all the time, I really like how he went from a weak person to a strong and mature person.
  • The chapters aren’t boring
Overall the story is cute... more>> and fluffy. I cried on some part especially when the MC told the ML about his past life. The extras are very nice and I like how they show Qiu XiaoHai and Rong Zan relationship. <<less

It was a good read. Interesting storyline. Love the ML child. The MC doesn't only think about revenge, he always try to make use of the opportunity given. He doesn't give a Damm about other thing until and unless that person keeps troubling him. It does talk about the society impact when they came out of the closet but they didn't worry about much.

Once you read it you will become hooked.

This story is a treasure! I just love it. It’s super cute and fluffy and entertaining. Read it!

In my opinion this pair if MC and ML is just too good to be true. It’s like how I would imagine an ideal relationship should be. There is acceptance, compassion, care, support, understanding, trust, pampering, love... they just fit each other perfectly. The plot is also great. Although it’s a rebirth story it isn’t like the others I’ve read before. MC first and foremost thinks of repaying those that where good to... more>> him in is last life and about how to become happy in this new one. He quickly realizes that how his new life progresses doesn’t depend on how his last life went. He also quickly comes to understand the consequences of the butterfly effect. He also doesn’t devote his life to revenge but learns to accept and overcome what happened in his last life.

I think it’s really a beautiful story that also teaches many life lessons. Very nicely done. <<less

I really enjoyed this series. It was heartwarming, and both the MC and the ML were so good to each other. One of the things I really liked was that despite being a rebirth, the MC really felt like he had matured and lived those 10 years before being reborn. So despite being 10 years younger, he still acted and thought like someone who had lived those heavy 10 years of misfortune.

The ML is charismatic and a bit overbearing, but you can tell he loves MC to death. He'd do... more>> anything for him if MC asked it of him. And the growth of MC's love for the ML was so sweet. There wasn't excess face slapping or dogblood, and the ML's son is ADORABLE. The MC is a bit of a calm personality, so I've seen some reviews say he's boring, but in all honestly, he's just a good egg. He's not overly dramatic, or emotional. Just a well written GOOD human being who wants to be happy.

All in all, a VERY pleasant read, I was fully invested in all the characters. A little glimpse into a smarmy entertainment circle and a good human being trying to regain his own happiness. <<less

This was a very steady read with not too much drama, but enough to satisfy one's needs from a novel.

The relationship between the leads is very steady and, in my opinion, isn't even the main theme of the book. This story is mostly about how our protagonist deals with his professional life after he is reborn.

I do have some unanswered questions, but nothing I can't overlook.

... more>> Definitely a 'much needed' break from all the intense yaoi I have been reading...

Worth a read if you are interested in some fluff, drama, and slice of life elements. <<less

Sometimes you're just in the mood for some face-slapping fluff and this really hits the spot.

After being betrayed and inadvertently killed by his lover in his previous life, MC rebirths and willingly contracts himself to the one who secretly helped him in his previous life. However, MC's goal is not revenge, but to simply live a good life. Nonetheless, ML cannot bear to see him wronged and takes revenge for him.

This couple is devoted and loving. They have their disagreements but communicate through them as mature adults and are willing... more>> to make compromises.

Spoiler

ML at some point believes that MC might feel wronged for not having his own child and looks up surrogacy resources, but MC declines them.

[collapse]

Their little son and his boyfriend are also very cute. I wish there was a bit more about them at the end, but there was decent closure and everyone got their just desserts. <<less

5++ LOVED THIS. It's the best Chinese BL novel I've read: nuanced, electric, with emotional depth, funny, sweet, and moving. I just finished it and I'm filled with sweetness and just finished wiping my eyes.

The MC and ML relationship is so wonderful - full of doting, respect, and understanding. Both of them are admirable characters. There are many nice side characters too - most notably a certain family member ;)

The face slapping and entertainment elements are more realistic and nuanced too.

The vibe of the novel is more new adult... more>> and I appreciated that - don't worry after the heavier, bittersweet beginning, there's tons of sweetness and also some electric passion (poetic rather than graphic) afterwards.

Definitely a re-read for me!

Last but not least, kudos to the translator for a lovely translation with fun and helpful translators notes throughout ? <<less

Extra 2, 4 and 6 are currently missing from Scribblehub (/not linked) !

If someone has a Scribblehub account (where the novel translation is currently at) or know some other way to contact the translator, please help inform them of the missing extras (I can’t leave a comment as I don’t have an account there). The extras are titled 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6, but they only contain 1, 3 and 5, at least as far as I could tell. In the end I had to read the missing extras on wattpad... more>> as I couldn’t find them anywhere else.

Other than that, I really loved this story, glad to finally be able to read it until the end ^^ <<less

Although it calls itself 'melodramatic' and the premise undoubtedly is, I thought both Bai Lang and Qiu Qian were refreshingly pragmatic and sensible. I loved how Bai Lang used his foreknowledge to try and advance his career, and to do things like make smart investments - but also using the chance of a do-over to make new friendships and relationships, and to break off ones that were toxic.

Paired with Qiu Qian, who's just fantastic at getting things done and quashing his enemies (including a long, extended battle with a powerful... more>> former lover who tries to get Bai Lang out of the way), they're just a super competent couple and I'm into it.

It's also a really fun, smart look at the entertainment world and the strings being pulled all the time - not just about being cast in the right shows, but also knowing the right people, influencing at the right time, releasing scandalous news but also suppressing it, playing out power struggles through brand endorsements and social media postings.

There's also super cute family stuff with Qiu Qian's son who adores Bai Lang. It's! So! Cute! <<less

Nice story, good pacing. A rebirth story that doesn't focus on face slapping revenge. MC was very "stay gracious, best revenge is your paper" aka he focused on his own success whether in his career or relationships and didn't try to cause too much problems for his enemies. It was ML who was more for revenge though MC definitely reigned him in. The kid, Xiao hai was adorable, the family moments were sweet & hilarious.

Firstly, I would like to say that this story is different from other "rebirth-revenge" story.

Spoiler

The MC of the novel is very realistic and doesn't go all "Im goin destroy your whole life", his has remorse compared to other MCs I have seen in "rebirth-revenge" stories. The ML is not very over-bearing compared to other ML but he is quite possessive but he understands the MC's work and natural gives in. The story is very realistic and shows emotions the MC goes through for example, his well to forgive his father after his rebirth in the end of the book, shows a to character development as human

This story is utterly wholesome. 10/10 would recommend. I adored the lead and the side characters and sneered at the villains. There was enough face-slapping within reasonable boundaries. Like... no one got mu*dered.

While I questioned Qiu Qian's (the ML) fashion style, I absolutely loved his personality. He may be a bit overbearing sometimes, but not excessively so as his overbearingness often stems from his desire to protect the ones he loves. In fact, he is pretty reasonable as can be seen from how he always takes a step back when... more>> Bai Lang demands him to even if it goes against his own wishes. If we were to look at who has the final say between them, it's Bai Lang and within the family it would be Bai Lang, too, except for when Xiaohai (ML's son) is stubborn.

As for our MC, Bai Lang's level-headedness makes him such a likeable character. He isn't ruthless nor is he completely softhearted either which is the perfect balance in my eyes.

The romance and emotional development between the characters was also quite believable. There was no from 0 to 100 love at first sight but a gradual progress which is satisfying in itself because I don't see this often in webnovels.

All in all, I really liked this novel that I had to read it a second time. <<less

Overall rating: 3.9.

No loose ends (or perhaps there is one, but he's insignificant enough for me to care what happened to him). Not really a revenge story - more like "since I was given another chance, I'll live my life more happily and freely, in a way that I won't leave regrets while staying true to my beliefs" kind of story.

Love the MC, though I feel that he's a bit goody two shoes. Scenes with the pair of cute small darlings are specially fun to read.

If there is one take-away... more>> that I got from this, it's that the Chinese really paint their country's entertainment circle in a dirty and bold manner - this is the tenth book that I've read which involves China's media industry as the setting and they all have such views regarding the entertainment sector. Because of this repeated viewpoint, I didn't enjoy it much, but it's an okay read.

Lots of notes too midway translated chapters - they're a bit distracting to the story, so please arrange them properly next time Mr./Ms. Translator. <<less

Very sweet and satisfying. While it does dip somewhat into tropes, the characters are all relatively fleshed out to a reasonable degree, making their journey a joy to read. Would recommend if you're into stories more focused around valuing a chance to start over rather than the more revenge fueled entries in the genre. The bad people get their just desserts, but it's not focused on nearly as much as other novels.

I have read this novel four and five times already. So you can think that this is a good novel.

And yes, this is a good novel and I like it.

The characters were reasonable and relatable. There are some dramas that make the story more exciting (don't get me wrong, drama/conflict is necessary in a story. As long as the drama not too dog-blooded, such as misunderstanding between characters that could be solved with just talking, then I still can accept it). And a cute bun too!!!...

I really love this kind of sweet and healthy story. Not much dog blood drama, not much angsty, vinegar eating, or any other. I like the MC, even though he was reborn and should have make his revenge, he actually doesnt really engrossed himself on getting revenge, and instead enjoying himself more, treasuring every new encounter he makes, and of course nurturing his true love with ML. Though eventually all the characters that need to be getting revenge on are sending themselves on his door, practically asking and provoke the... more>> ML to fulfill the revenge the MC should has. <<less

This is my first time writing a review but I just had to do it.

I don't know why some of the reviews are so critical but for me, this story is one of those that you read again and again.

The MC is not overpowered or overly Mary Sue but he does have the protagonist halo. Putting this aside, his character is the type that I love - calm, has enough IQ, cute but not annoying and he also has this kind of world heaviness after his rebirth that gives his... more>> character more depth. Plus, he's not revenge thirsty but he's not a pushover either. Kind of refreshing for a rebirth story.

The ML is so-so, but his love for the MC covers up his character flaws. There's also his son who's super adorable and makes the story more light hearted.

The translation is also very good. It's not the best story as it does have some plot holes and the author can't remember mob names lmao but do give it a try. (づ ̄ ³ ̄) づ (づ ̄ ³ ̄) づ <<less
