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.

Rating: A very positive 3.5 stars!

Review: If I recited the events of the story, it would sound exactly like one of your typical C-Novels with names like "Rebirth of the Film Queen: The CEO's Contract Lover: Spoiling the Young Master's Mother!" Luckily it's a MUUUCH nicer, more moderate and wholesome story, despite there being very little in there that I haven't read in one or another C-Novel Romance or BL about some guy or girl reborn in the entertainment industry.

Overall, this is very pleasant to read: not all of the... more>> villainous characters are completely black, events are sometimes dramatic but not melodramatic, the romance is satisfyingly developed, the MC has a nice balance of intelligence, kindness and strength, the ML (although he initially fits the stereotypical cold, overbearing CEO) is much more moderate and balanced with the MC than I was afraid of, there are likeable supporting characters, and everything is tied up well in the end. I also liked that was only moderate use of superfluous internet comments by fans. The story and writing had almost nothing jarring, except perhaps too long spent in detailing each step of the final villain's downfall (i.e. Too much time not on the main character).

The main reason I rated it 3.5 rather than 4 stars (I rarely rate anything 5) was merely that there was nothing about this story that raised it into something with a special spark. It was very nice to read and I enjoyed it. I could confidently recommend it to other BL readers. <<less

I think this has become one of my favorite novels! Pretty good plot and pacing, the relationship between Bai Lang and Qiu Qian feels very natural and touching despite how their relationship started, the kids are super cute, the translation very easy to read. I think my only complaint regarding the story was the character of Su Quan/Qu Quan, ... more>>
Spoiler

I didn't like him but I feel his potential as a character or even as a villain was wasted, at the beginning I thought he'd be a close overprotective friend who later warmed up to Bai Lang but he turned out to be an opportunist and as delusional as Kang Jian, it's really a shame.

[collapse]

Also I'm really thankful the author chose to tell us what happened to the children in the future! Wish they had their own story, I would love to read more about them. <<less

EDIT: I have noticed that it appears I only rated 4 stars when it was suppsed to be 5....

But as I said its 5/5 really great to read

I have seen no plotholes (if there are I may have not notice it)

The characters are well developed

Not focus on revenge

The pacing is neither fast nor slow

The children present are absolutely adorable

Great translation

In short you have to read it.

Ai, as a person who rides the feels train daily I can assure you that this is a very fluffy and realistic story concerning relationships.

Like all reviews stated, the MC is very calm and knows himself well, of course, why wouldn't He? He's been reborn.

The male lead is very handsome and straightforward and his comedic effect along with his son brightens the while story with a pink aura.

The love the MC and ML had for each other was gradual, only starting with a passing interest while the other with suspicion.... more>> Nonetheless, their fate's were entwined in Bai lang's second life and he achieved his happiness he deserved, falling into a love net the ML rougeshly set up, lol.

It's a very good read for pleasure.

Spoiler

some of my favorite scenes include, Qiu Qian telling Bai Lang to say "Who said that my man was your man!" Or something along those lines, to Su quan. Second scene is when Bai Lang and Qiu Qian are walking along the riverbank while camping with the Rong family. Thirdly, when Bai Lang roundhouse kicked that s*um guy. And of course, the extras with Xiao Hai and ah zan planing their wedding at Bai Lang and Qiu Qian's wedding. I teared up :,)

[collapse]

11/10 enjoi

P.s. Use your vivid imagination for the vague r18-scenes. The fluffiness allowed the story to get a 5 star from me :) <<less

This a good novel. Really like how this story is more realistic. MC character was calm but he had a deep feelings. He didn't caught up with his revenge after his rebirth, he used his knowledge to change his life to the better.

I like how the ML didn't become so fast to pamper MC after he got him. But try to really got to know him better and understand him first.

I just really appreciate this novel. There's no unnecessary dog blood or drama here. Just try this one, you wont... more>> regret it. The story is short, so it wont take yor time too much. <<less

A beautiful read!

This novel have everything one can possibly ask for:

  • a loving MC and ML relationship (none of that possessive, facial paralysis, yandere, misunderstandings crap)
  • the ML got a cute kid who is also gay (we never know how the ML got a kid or why the woman left)
  • for once, MC is not naïve or dumb, he knows exactly what he's doing and what he wants
  • heartwarming moments
Some cons are:

... more>>
  • the ML is not good with words so he always shuts the MC's mouth with a kiss, which is sweet and all, but like bro, can you please explain what you're thinking or feeling cause the MC and the readers can't freckin read your mind (this situation happens often, which may annoy some folks)
  • no explanation to the creation of ML's kid, like what happened, why the woman left him, etc., the kid is just magically there to give the ML brownie points and excuses to keep the MC around
Overall:

A very relaxing and sweet read, not much drama or angst. Like the genre suggests, this is a slice of life novel, so the plot centers around the MC's personal life and interactions with the ML/ML's kid. I wish there were more romantic moments between the MC and ML as their relationship seem a lil lacking, like come on, give me more fan service and snu snu scenes! <<less

This is a really good novel! The plot is really well thought of and even though there are small time skips, author didn't forget to reveal what happened in between. Basically, the MC accidentally went back in time and decided to live his life without connections to the people who made his previous life miserable. He has a very good mindset and is level-headed when it comes to his decisions. ML is at first a s*um but he fell in love with our MC so he turned into a doting... more>> ML haha. It's good that he isn't too OP, I think this is actually the first time I saw an ML to have a huge misfortune that isn't connected to our MC.

It lost one star because the style of writing isn't my cup of tea. It's mostly narrative and there are only a number of dialogue. The most "talk" we've gotten is from a Forum inside the novel lol. Also, there could be more to the story but the author opted to let it slide

Spoiler

Like who's the mother of ML's child?

Nonetheless, for a 1day read this one of the best. <<less

This is one of the sweetest novel ever. You can get over with the meng scenes of the ML and MC. They are just so adorable. Highly recommended for everyone to read this. Trust me, you won't regret.

However, some parts of the novel are little too dramatic tbh, and some are overly descriptive. So, you may have to skip all those nonsense. Other than that story is simply amazing so far.

New to the danmei world but not new to the the whole reincarnation genre. I really enjoyed this story! It's short for a webnovel (61-ish chapters of the main story + 5-ish side stories), but it was done well. Basic premise is the same as most reincarnation novels, but I liked the application much better. There is some sweet revenge parts but it's not like the MC is completely and utterly obsessed by getting payback. In fact, revenge seems to be a side dish in the MC's intent to live... more>> a better life this time around, and he absolutely has a much better life! I think that the most satisfying part is just how he was able to overcome the hurts of his past life and channel his new self into his new life with the ML and the ML's adorable son.

Romance was written well and realistic, no insta-love here. The relationship developed throughout the story, and the MC and ML discussed any jealousies and issues that came up pretty maturely, which I appreciated since both of them are adults. The ML is the alpha-male, CEO, controlling type but it wasn't so over the top that I couldn't stomach it. He actually does manage to think about the MC's feelings and concede to the MC's wishes on certain scenarios. He's also the driver of a lot of the revenge schemes, but he always does it with the MC's consent.

The epilogue and side stories are also very enjoyable and they left me hungry for more. All in all, a very sweet, realistic romance story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. <<less

Spoiler

There is a lot of interpersonal history going on in this novel. What draws me in is that it is realistic given the setting and it is very believable.I always get tired of all those perfect characters... ML was intrigued by MC from the beginning in both lives. He did have a history with other people, even had a son at one point but when he began to court MC, he never derailed. He has a son but we never see him interacting with women so who knows how that came about... but the kid loves MC. All in all, this is a mature character (both MC and ML) When MC and ML first sleep together, its because he accepts a patron/sponsor relationship and he is practical with all it entails.

[collapse]

These are adult characters not new adults who are still googly eyed about the world. I like how it deals with situations like those in the novel realistically. If you are looking for instalove, this is not for you; but if you want to read about a love built brick by brick... come right in. <<less

The story was pretty interesting showing the development of their relationship. But I just skipped most things at the end.

Wish the author told more about why the ML liked BL so much.. Even in the past life.. Why was he so dedicated.. And it's true mist side chatacters aren't well fleshed.

Loved the cuties little children's interactions

Complete (100% read) Highly recommended! I absolutely love this novel, the MC is truly written as the epitome of "The Best Revenge Is A Life Well Lived". The couple growth is wonderful, especially since the ML still retains the rough edges that make a big boss/gangster/CEO type fun to read while showing a really adorable path to them becoming truly in love. Its very much on my reread list and I fully enjoyed every chapter :)

I always love the premises of rebirth in entertainment industry because it has so many layers to it.

In his first life Bai Lang was dragged down in mud, got betrayed by his lover and lost all his grace. Upon his rebirth, he decides to take full control and sides with Qiu Qian, the one who was there by his side from a far in his first life.

I found the story extremely satisfying to read. I enjoyed the mature MC & ML's relationship. I liked the rest of the characters, even... more>> XiaoHui. He was an adorable little kid. <<less

BEWARE of SPOILER

Reading others' reviews, sometimes it felt like I'm reading a different story than them.

In the first life, ML offered to be MC's sugar daddy and was rejected. MC then falls in love with a guy who betrayed him. In my opinion, ML had no obligation to do anything for MC at that point because they were not in a relationship, not even a sugar daddy-sugar baby relationship. Heck, they were not even friends. MC just happened to be working for ML and ML took interest in him. That was it.

In their second life, MC was the one who approached ML and offered to be kept by him in return for resources. Now that they had established an agreement, of course, ML would do everything in his power to protect his people.

Love. What is love? Can it pay the bill? Can it put food on the table? So what if ML only liked MC's body in the first place? MC also likes ML for his power and resources. It's a win-win relationship for both of them.

I feel pretty half and half on this. Liked the couple, the ML in particular is very funny to me. I hate to say it, because I think many novels drag these out to much, but I would have liked this to be longer to flesh out other characters more - that's just how I feel. I also think there was somehow too much and not enough of the ex boyfriend character. How to say, he wasn't present enough to create animosity in me, but when he was he was... more>> so underused as a villain that it felt like he was overstaying his welcome by being useless and boring. The kid was cute. <<less

5 because of the relationship between MC and ML and the feeling it left me after I was done reading, objectively maybe a 4? I loved the mutual healing for the two of them, although there are some issues with how they get together and how/when they fell in love, but by the end of it I was happy with the whole story.

3.5/5 stars for me

pretty decent. Not anything superb and new, but still enjoyable. I actually really like MC and his personality. It's pretty mature and he's always rational and never gives those who did him wrong a chance to misunderstand him. MC's first life was extremely shitty and I felt so much heartache for him, especially his last moments where everything comes crashing down on him. I love the addition of ML's son and the dynamic between the three is harmonious.

what makes me rate this lower (unless it's so bad... more>> I usually never go lower than a 3/5) is the sharp and abrupt time skip as well as how towards the end, everything gets turned into exposition and we're TOLD about everything happening rather than actually taking us through the events and having the story actually fleshed out. I just feel like the author was speeding and wanted to end it as soon as possible. It really just takes you out of the novel and feels so rushed that you lose a bit of emotional investment in the story. It doesn't help that the author literally rushed through and did a "retelling" of certain super important events that happened (when the ML finally finds out MC has a terminal illness, when ML literally is on the brink of death in which we are cruelly and JARRINGLY given a timeskip) although I do have to say the author does have a tendency to "tell" instead of "show".

and the other one is something I personally always nitpick about: When does ML and MC actually "fall in love" and where does the dynamic change? In this case it's more about the ML, because ML in the beginning really only saw MC as a plaything who is a bit interesting for his straightforward and self-respecting attitude, but then we go from that, straight to 'like' and it felt like we never really had anything substantial to contribute to that specifically. I don't know, from my understanding, I just never really got that magic "oh" moment.

anyways, other than that, it's still pretty good read. I'd still recommend it! <<less

This is totally recommended. 4.8/5⭐️ I almost didn’t pick it up because of the cover hahahaa luckily, I did, otherwise I might regret not reading this beautiful story.
