“Then why don’t I marry you!” Yu Dong suddenly proposed.

“You…” Xia Feng thought he had misheard.

“You see, you’re looking for someone to marry to ease your mother’s heart, and I also want to get married. We’re right in front of the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and with all our papers too!” Yu Dong exclaimed while holding up her red household book.

“And the most important thing is that we just broke up with our exes. This is fate, ah!”

Right up until they left the Civil Affairs Bureau again, holding a newly registered red book, Xia Feng remained dazed still wondering, how did he end up getting married?

Did he just pick up a wife at the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau?

What Xia Feng doesn’t know is that Yu Dong traveled back in time from 10 years in the future.

Now, having a second chance in life and able to secure a good husband, Yu Dong will live her life at full throttle and without regrets.

Neat, comparatively light-hearted story with some fun and quirky characters. Most of the tropes are tread on only lightly, like the protagonist being resurrected and having foreknowledge of some stuff. Other typical tropes, like the frustrating revenge p*rn of many chinese stories, is almost entirely absent - it's certainly more on the level of "I'll slap you for what you've done" than "I'll crush you, your family, and everything you stand for". Being utterly tired of the aforementioned trope, I appreciated that a lot. The story isn't particularly deep, but... more>> I did like the writing style and particularly the various "oneshot"-style stories in the first half. <<less

Very fluffy, very sweet. There are some deep moments, but there are never too deep you will feel distraught as every little thing will be wrapped up beautifully. Some cultural difference might make some people unable to understand the MC plight before, but we still able to understand her loneliness.

The cutest novel I have ever read in my life... I am a medical student so I know how it feels to be a doctor. ... more>>
Spoiler

The story was relatable and super sweet. I love the female lead, She represents most of the female between the age of 18-31. Her thoughts and suggestions were always beautiful. The male lead is a shy maiden at the beginning, but after having a taste he becomes a wolf. People were really nice, Even the ex-GF was a sweet person at the end, I loved this story from the bottom of my heart and will always come back for a re-read. Wish to have such a sweet life with someone I love that loves me back. Female lead's friends are also Friendship goals. But I think they had to pair up Dr Shen with someone... He is overworking. (sad single)

The alien thing was the most unexpected.

A really great read. I won't say much since I'm too tired after binge-reading it until the end.. It was kinda an open minding story about life and that's why I came to love this story. The romance part is rather fluffy and usual but still very sweet, no overrated overreacting misunderstanding drama (which I hate). Though the characters are quite unusual, The MC is straight-forward, kind-&-hard worker, and is suitable with the ML, a hard working doctor, a great husband, and a sensible partner, and I love them for... more>> that characteristic.
Spoiler

I particulary took time to read, digest, and think about the mistress part and the depressed man whom both are the listener of MC's radio talk. There are lot of words that I appreciate and think about especiallh from those two chapters. I love how the MC handled her listener and some problems around her. Though honestly, she has some thoughts that I could not support her with. Which I think is way too optimistic, simple-minded, and unreal, which is is normal since this was still in the end, a fictive story and not a deep psychology or philosophy book. And again, the MC herself aren't such a dark person, instead, she grew up in a closed-minded family but still a happy and supportive one, that's why it actually make sense how she thinks like that. Still, she's smart, undoubtly.

A super cute romance that's wholesome and basically drama-free.

Give it a go if you're looking for a non-cliche romance where a woman takes her happiness into her own hands after reincarnating.

Every character was interesting and complex in their own way and I felt invested in all 3 girls romances.

A fun romance with just the right amount of fluff. Enough for fuzzy feelings, but not so much that it interferes with actual story happening. Throw in some great epilogues for resolution of minor characters and you have an excellent love story.

To those worried about the reincarnation tag: rest assured, it is a minor plot device and has limited effect on the story. The MC has a few future insights but plot points are mostly moved by character progression and interaction.

This story is so good and I can't help but smile and laugh as I read this! The MC is so unrestrained and you can't help but like her. The secondary characters also have their own personalities that you can't help but love!

The main thing is that the relationship between the two leads is the epitome of fluff!

Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau

This is a story of various people's second chances at life and love, especially Yu Dong, who's given a second chance at life, and Xia Feng, who's given another shot at love.

As soon as Yu Dong opens her eyes, her ex-fiance had already left her at doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau, with snot and tears running down her cheeks. Not far away from where Yu Dong was in a daze, Xia Feng, who's asked his long-time girlfriend to marry him, was left standing at the same building as the said girlfriend broke up with him, citing she wasn't ready to marry him and had to leave the country to further her studies (nothing wrong with that).

... more>> Upon seeing Xia Feng, Yu Dong recalls who the man would become in the future. Without hesitation, Yu Dong walks up to Xia Feng and asks him to marry her. The breakup must've really muddled the otherwise brilliant man as the next thing he knows he suddenly got himself a wife whom he just literally met.

Honestly, I can't say how much I love this story. It's short and sweet and full of fluff.

Yu Dong, the reincarnated MC, had been through a lot of ups and downs, pre-rebirth, and has decided to make the most of her second chance in life. She could be a little childish at times, but she doesn't let allow herself to be petty (or too petty, except towards her ex-fiance who literally left her at their supposed wedding, so I can understand her vicious remarks against her ex whenever they encounter each other). Her knowledge and ethical views from the future had both helped and hurt her and those around her, but instead of wallowing and solving things on her own, she talks it out with her husband, Xia Feng.

Xia Feng is almost too pure of an ML, especially for somebody who's been in a relationship for years. He gets easily flustered when Yu Dong acts a little shamelessly, but he gives as good as he gets, which becomes a hilarious interaction between husband and wife. He has a believable character growth through trials he goes through by himself and with the people around him

his wife, his parents, his wife's family, his friends, his wife's friends, his colleagues, and his ex-girlfriend.

Why I read this:

    • With 61 chapters, it's short. So, there are no long, drawn out, unnecessary dramas and no repetitive schemings to break up the couple or destroy either the MC or ML's reputation as some novels tend to do.
    • There is character growth for both MC and ML, either through their own experiences or their interactions with each other and with the people around them.
    • The side characters are adequately fleshed out so they don't feel one-dimensional. Their dynamics with the MC and ML are also relatable.
    • The supposed villains, namely the exes, aren't really necessarily the "bad guys". Yes, there is a lot of snarkiness involved with the MC against her ex-fiance, but I think the MC deserves that bit of pettiness as the guy just literally dumped her after promising to marry her. As for ML's ex-girlfriend, her mentality can be a bit irritating but as much as I want to hate her, I've seen her type in some of the friends I know.
      Spoiler

      They broke up but she can't seem to accept that Xia Feng has moved on and thinks that Xia Feng was merely acting out in the heat of the moment and probably was too responsible to even think of divorce now that he's married to somebody he just met versus her (the ex-girlfriend) whom he has known and has had a relationship with for years.

      [collapse]
    • Cannon fodders are unavoidable evil, but thankfully, they are too few and not distracting to the story as a whole.
    • The MC's and ML's interactions with their families. I love the relationship that the ML has with his parents, especially his strong-willed mother. As for the MC's family, if you grew up in an old-fashioned environment, you can't help but nod your head with how much you sympathize with the MC.
      Spoiler

      For the rest, don't hate her parents too much, especially her mother. The mother's logic may seem backward to a lot of the readers and can make the readers rage at the unfairness of the mother's words, but the mother grew up believing that once daughters leave the house, they're expected to get married, have a family right away, and just be a housemaker. This old-fashioned values can be a little deterrent but they pretty much shaped Yu Dong to how she was. The last part of the novel where Yu Dong's mother found out from Yu Dong's son that Yu Dong had lied about Xia Feng's real relationship with Yu Dong, meaning that they were really already married and living together at that time and not as Yu Dong had stated then which was they were about to be married during their visit to Yu Dong's hometown. Yu Dong's mother literally twisted Yu Dong's ears and Xia Feng had to return home quickly to calm the dragon mother-in-law.

      [collapse]
    • There is a lot of diabetes-inducing sweetness between the MC and ML, but the interaction is actually an enjoyable read as it doesn't sound forced to the point of being awkward. You actually look forward to them interacting whether they're together in a scene or not.
    • Have I mentioned it's short? But it's amazing how such a short story can have so much heart in it. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hate, you'll love. Well, you get the picture. Despite the awkward and unrealistic beginning, the story flows nicely and fluidly and each chapter ends in an almost episodic manner, but still very much a part of the whole story. So you don't feel like scrambling to find out next until the translator would be kind enough to release the next chapter.
What could have made it better:

    • The beginning. I can't even begin to tell you much the beginning made me cringe. I mean the whole "arranged marriage" or "marriage of convenience" trope is almost a prerequisite to every modern reincarnation story, but the one salvation was that it wasn't under horrifying duress. The MC and ML were just two people who had just been dumped by their significant others. Marrying a complete strange seems like a giant step to moving on, even for a rebound. However, the MC's future knowledge eased the awkwardness of that meeting somewhat, so that little "cheat" made the beginning of the story a little bearable. (I think?)
    • I don't know if this needs to be better but the strength of the MC's halo is pretty much indestructible. With her "cheat", she had helped a lot of people, but you know what they say about paradoxes being affected when certain events are changed. For every person she helped, what would happen to the other people who were affected by those certain events in the past? (So maybe it doesn't need to be improved?)
    • With how well the MC and ML get along, a lot of people would disagree with the need for improvement but I think the level of their maturity can be a little off-putting to some people. As Tony Stark has said, "I don't trust a man without a dark side." Yes, I'm thankful for how well they resolved an issue so there are no chapters that leave a reader hanging, but it does tend to make the story a little bland. The fluff does make up for it.
    • The side characters' endings will either make you like it or be disappointed with it.
      Spoiler

      But Yu Dong's and Xia Feng's intelligent son is hilarious though.

      [collapse]
    • There are no page breaks. Sudden changes in sceneries gave me more than a few whiplashes. I had to reread it a few times to make sure that it's not connected to the previous one. Then again, I'm using Google translate to read the untranslated chapters, so that might be why.
In conclusion, if you want a short but sweet novel, this is highly recommended. You won't regret it as you don't need to trawl through 1, 000+ chapters to enjoy a story. If it's too much fluff and not enough conflict, aka the infamous face-slapping and counterattacks, while this novel may not have those in spades, the MC and ML's snarkiness make up for sure. But if you're still unsatisfied, there are other novels for you to enjoy.

To the translator, thank you very much for sharing this story. I do hope you get somebody to help you edit it as some paragraphs tend to miss some words or punctuation marks are placed wrongly, but other than that, I appreciate your work a lot. <<less

cute and sweet story, the fluff is everywhere after MC and ML confirm each other feeling. Story pace is fast and the both exes is reasonable, but like in other story. My favorite part is the side story, but too bad that one of MC friend not get her own side story, but I assume that she is happily married

➺ 3.25/5🌟

No major ups and downs in the plot, no exaggerated drama or unnecessary misunderstanding that dragged on for too long. The romance is fluffy, heartwarming, healthy and mature. I loved that little conflicts in their relationship existed to show us how the two of them handled it like an adult. I love the trust and proper communication between them, which makes the development of their relationship so much easier to root for.

I enjoyed reading this a lot, but the overall didn't give me much impact. Still very much recommended.

Worth reading 10/10

This story made me cry on some chapters and teach me so many lessons.

I taught me not to forget to be kind to others, not to settle for less and to always be open to your partner.

... more>> It taught me to choose wisely and to think thoroughly before making a decision.

The love here is soooo elaborated and realistic. The story is sooooo great that although there is almost few to none villain but it is heartwrenchingly good. The only regret is it has a few chapters, I don't mind reading for more.

Hoping to read more stories like this. <<less

This was a very heart warming story, it did not have many up hill. It was a very straight street.

I loved the comedy in it, and their love was beautiful.

Even though it did not have any plot twist, it was good, beautiful and a good read.

Definitely recommend. If you want to read something a little straight with out plot twist.

It felt so very good, I read it all in 7 hours, with out stopping.

Recommend listening to Chinese songs while reading.

It was very funny and relaxing.

I love it.

finished within more or less 18 hours again, reviewed immediately, I give 9/10 STARS for this story.

I like the way, the story isn't that complicated yet so sweet like everyday life. of course there's a lot of plot holes, like... how did the MC rebirth in the first place? I need to go back and check if she actually died or something. it's like a second chance that happened so randomly, but I am glad that she took that chance with both of her hands.

for the MC or Female Lead,... more>> I give like 8/10 Stars.
Spoiler

the first few chapters is so forceful and demanding, gloss over the process of them getting certificate, so we didn't know how exactly did MC persuade ML to just married her, a stranger that just met that day.

the way she act in the first few chapters also didn't make sense to me, but maybe that's just her hormones going out of controls. a women that's in her thirties suddenly become twenties might be weirded out after all.

she suddenly become so girly in the middle of the story too, where's the soul of the women that's supposed in her thirties goes? it's like the author themselves even forget about that fact. but I like the way she's mature at the right time and push her own husband to keep up his work without demanding things.

[collapse]

for the ML, I give like 9/10 Stars.
Spoiler

he's so awkwardly weird the first few chapters, but he later become soft and sweet for his beloved wife. he's a bit too trusting with his things thought, he even gave his wage card to MC just like that, shouldn't this things wait a little bit? which reminds me that the wage card's never got mentioned again and the MC always seems to buy things using her own money.

he's not heartless enough to curse at his ex-girlfriend, but he's not decisive enough at the first few chapters, it might be his gentlemen upbringing, but he should at least be firm with his ex-girlfriend, there's no need to let that girl keep on trying to get closer. I would be really angry if someone keep on ignoring the fact I am married and ignoring the existence of my marriage partner. it's not something you could just ignore, he should get angry at that part. it's one thing if it's a joke, it's another if it's deliberately done.

the last few chapters of the ending got glossed over so much as if, it's not important to the story, the part where ML got award should at least have a heartfelt speech, where he thanked everyone and especially his wife for keep on believing him. he's still a nice, kind and ideal husband material thought.

[collapse]

my favorite in this story, unsurprisingly, is another side character, Shao Yifan. he's just this relatable character where, we common fellow will supports our besties to fight for their own loves. he cares and he support! too bad he's still single in the end?

overall, it's another good story, good for a light reading to pass time or destress. <<less

Picked this novel for a quick read and now I am wishing for it to have been longer! People might find their romance bland, but it's very realistic knowing the nature of their job and their situation. Would recommend this to those who love realistic, cute, and heartwarming stories. I admit there were some lackings in terms of how the story progressed — some things were not discussed thoroughly. Still, I would definitely reread this in the future!

Rereading, fMC is a bit lunatic and also funny. ML also matches her crazy for accepting the flash marriage.

He is a bit bland &background board type and that makes him so lovable, he is so sweet.

And it is more of a slice of life and it's short so it's very simple.

Side characters are interesting and lovely.

It's type of book you'll either get a bit bored or love it.

Totally recommend it to OI beginners

Ofcourse there are some problems too, specially problems come with the flash marriage.
Spoiler

Imagine having a relationship for 4 years, just to lose a flash marriage.


It is a bit heavy hit for ex girlfriend An An.

I feel like ML is actually on the blurry line between being filial or being responsible or being a s*umbag.

This line changes according to your view point.

He looks like a good person but he is actually not flexible, you can see things from tiny details like FMC asked to use papers but he secretly went back and brought cutlery, was a cute scene but actually a bit hint of his personality.

And ofcourse from An An s point, he abandoned his 4 years girlfriend because she didn't accept his conditions. It is a bit sad to be in her place.

She probably didn't imagine this at all.

He is not flexible and his view points are truth for him and he probably won't change himself.

In future ; there is a high possibility of fMC and he would have problems when it comes to raising kids etc.

FMC is more flexible I think maybe she and he are good matches. An An is also a strong person with strong opinions.

She also prefer someone revolving around her from what I understand.

So even his mom wasn't sick and he didn't need any urgent marriage they wouldn't work because they both have strong points and are not very flexible people.

This book was decently translated. The translator tried to capture the essence of the book so that it wouldn't lost in translation. What I like about Chinese novels, the writer puts a lot of effort into doing research. If one of the characters is a doctor, like in this book, you could actually imagine it. This is not some half-assed story where the writer just threw in everything in the hope readers will be blind to it.

The MC was rebirth right in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She was... more>> dumped by her boyfriend and in her past life, remained single until her death. So, given a second chance, she decided to gamble it all. Why not ask a stranger to marry her instead?

The entire book was mostly MC and her husband trying to get to know each other while coming to terms that their rushed judgment ended with them married. It was refreshing as the MC was dead set on making it work and was honest about everything. She wasn't a shy 22-year-old fresh graduate but a 32-year-old career woman. Her self-confidence was the key to success in this second life.

The ML was your typical male lead found in any romance book. He's tall, handsome, rich, and tsundere. But once he realizes his true feelings towards the MC, gets ready for a cheesy ride all the way.

Of course, a great romance wouldn't be great without one or two antagonists. As it's not your typical Chinese novel that can last for hundreds of chapters, whatever angst was there was resolved; easily and fast. <<less
