The Foolish Gong was Reborn

Description

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

Outsiders all say that Xie Zhongxing had hit the jackpot marrying the prince of the Qin Enterprise, Qin Zhongyue, even being treasured and favoured for five whole years. They were well-recognized as a loving couple.

However, they didn’t know that Qin Zhongyue had a lot of dissatisfaction with this marriage. He complained to his good friend, “He micromanages everything. Won’t let me drink or smoke, won’t let me go clubbing, and he even set me a 10pm curfew!”

“I have to hand over all my salary and bank cards and he would only give me a hundred yuan a day! Only if he is in a good mood, he would give me a few hundred more!”

Qin Zhongyue felt angry and wronged, “And I even have to wait on him!”

“If I ever get the chance to do this again, I will never marry him! I used to get eight million yuan a month as spending money!” The prince said this to his friend.

The day after he said this, Qin Zhongyue found himself reborn to the time when he was seventeen.

The Xie Zhongxing at this time was eighteen years old and poor to the point where he only had one set of old clothes to wear, holes in his socks and a pair of dirty shoes with its soles peeling off. Even if he had a nice-looking face, he was despised and looked down upon, and known in the school as a pauper.

When Xie Zhongxing’s parents came to handle the withdrawal procedures for him, Qin Zhongyue only then found out that he was a study tyrant ranked first in his grade, receiving scholarships every year, and that he was a seedling with good prospects the school had high expectations for and not the ‘useless high school dropout who didn’t like to study and only has money in his eyes’ as claimed by his younger brother.

Qin Zhongyue couldn’t bear the sight of this. He pulled Xie Zhongxing into his arms, angry, “Continue studying! Our Qin family has never had a top scorer before, you must keep studying!”

Xie Zhongxing raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion. The look in his eyes seemed to ask: Who are you?

Qin Zhongyue thought of Xie Zhongxing’s dictatorship after their marriage and shuddered. He then maintained a look of righteousness, “I am just a kind-hearted person who does not wish to reveal his name!”

Later, Qin Zhongyue asked Xie Zhongxing shyly, “If we get married, can you give me a thousand yuan a day as spending money?”

Xie Zhongxing, “?”

Qin Zhongyue, “…..Five hundred is also okay.”

NB: The actual title is literally “The Sand Sculpture Gong was Reborn”. Sand sculpture (沙雕) is a homonym for 傻屌 (Sha Diao) which is a derogatory term for an idiot/a fool. Sand sculpture is often used with a more humourous/joking intention to describe something or someone as silly or foolish.

Very sweet, light story. Will surely reread when I need some fluffiness. The MC was such an innocent sweet guy. He's such a loyal and protective to ML.

I like that we have the rare gong protagonist instead of the usual shou.

After so many years on and off, postponing, and hiatus reading this novel. I finally had time to read it. I'm so glad I finally finished it. I wish I finished it before to tell everyone that it is a good fluffy read, but I never had figured out how to read in google docs in phone (I have sight impairment so yeah). But again, thank you. I cherished ML for having an unconditional love. It was a process to learn about mc's past actions and words. But after... more>> the realization occured, he went all out and unconditionally love him. He is silly but genuine. He even accepted the fact that MC inherited ml's dad's business instead of him. He even cheered his beloved wife taking his stead. He knows mc's worth. It might not be your cup of tea but it is really a good read. I understand ML's silly attitude because he was and always is surrounded by his dad's indulgence and love. You can't blame someone to change if there's no reason to change. People said that he is s*upid, but I see it as not. Because he only acts like that to his dad and wife. He can't even act out to mc's mom or his own mom lol. He knows proprietary actions lol. Im just saying. He isn't the most s*upid but silly <<less

This novel is super sweet, funny, with a lot of fluff and dog food! The MC is a complete green flag, super adorable, and silly! I love the ML too, I felt bad about how he was raised and treated by his so-called "family", but I'm glad it all went well in the end. The ML was a little cold to the MC at the beginning but that's because of his past and he didn't know the MC that well yet. But naturally, our MC's warm, sunny, and innocent (well-... more>> in most matters) disposition quickly warmed his heart!

Though the MC might seem a bit too silly and obsessed with his 'wifey', he is smart at times (though rare). He's also incredibly loyal the ML and was never influenced to stray by his bad friends. His past life wasn't all that nice but it was actually super wholesome too! At least, when they were together. It wasn't the best life, but I believe that the MC and ML were happy unlike what was portrayed at first, due to the extras.

But I do agree that their new second life is much better. This novel is really just full of dogfood and doesn't need a lot of thinking. The way the MC's rebirth was revealed was explained in a relatively simple manner, just as silly as his personality. I also love the other side-characters such as MC's father, ML's mother, Li Jun (one of the better "bad friends"), Shi Yanyu, Zhong Yiming, ML's teacher and some others who's name I forgot.

I highly recommend this fluffy, cute novel with a light and easygoing premise. If you love silly MCs and cute, tolerant MLs, with a light plot and sweet romance, then this is for you! :D <<less

This one was quite cute and funny.

The main character is truly a fool. I quite like the ML tho. Wo wouldnt like a smart and handsome ml?

... more>>
Spoiler

At some point the whole „i am clean and a virg*n for my wife“ just seemed annoying. In the beginning it was just funny but it got repeated too much. I rlly hate that mindset of being „pure“.

Also all that the MC thinks abt is his big d*ck and I was getting tired of that by the end.

I read this mainly for the ml. The fluff was good tho. Both of them are pretty lovely together.

I rlly liked that the parents of both were rlly accepting them.

I dont quite understand why they were married in the first life so early on. It just doesn’t make any sense especially with the dad spoiling the MC.

ahem ahem. ahem. cough. AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH okay 1. this was SO FUNNY!! so funny. SO f*ckING FUNNY YOU HEAR ME this was hilarious I was crying so hard this whole entire time (of laughter) it was just. so funny. it has its share of sweetness and fluff and romance and angst and other such things but overall the tone is comedic and DAMN!!! it does comedic right, I tell you. sosososo good as a humorous danmei anybody looking for that can look at this novel right away!!

and plot! the... more>> character’s story (one character specifically) is actually pretty tragic and it really adds a touch of realism to this dumb ass (affectionate) plotline. I think it’s rlly down to earth but as for the rest, and I mean as for the main character, well... in my blog, I worded it, “ went from angry husband who wanted freedom and usa to obeying househusband ”, so you can about predict what that means...

i wanna say I absolutely love their dynamic!!! they’re so so so cute and the MC. ohhh the MC. HE IS SO s*upid AND WHENEVER I THINK THAT I HAVE NO CLUE WHETHER ITS DEROGATORY OR AFFECTIONATE. MAYBE BOTH. he is so s*upid it makes me want to bash his head in out of frustration and cuteness-overload. I think that feeling is reflected pretty well in the ml, though. just putting it out there that after discovering this mc’s personality in the early chapters, my first thought was... “how is this s*upid guy a gong?” but it becomes pretty obvious later on why...

hes truly so s*upid it’s cute. I think. maybe. but the best part about it is that it leads to unconditional love and this idea that you should love someone regardless of flaws (!!!! I believe in this sm!!!) so it actually is a very touching and sweet story (even if I wanted to strangle him half the time) definitely recommend!!!! <<less

What a story!

It was so so sweet, and there was enough substance that the romance felt so real my heart ached.

The only thing I wished was that we could have gotten more chapters with them from the future.

Excelent story, writing is ok, characters aren't bad, dog blood doesn't get out of hand, sweet and happy, mostly.

My only regret is that the extras didn't solve their initial problems in their past life besides showing XZX's POV. The MC gong is such a cutie, that I also would struggle with that mouth of his, so I'm happpy they are a happy couple. The main story is solid, even if I say I wanted more it's not necesary

This rivals my all-time favorite comedy danmei novel, as this MC is so f*cking good! I don't know how he does it, but he really is born to be foolish!

It's your typical MC goes back in time to save ML at an earlier date, but this time, MC didn't even wanted to but unknowingly fall in love again with his beloved wifey.

I might have some irks, as MC is really f*cking foolish to keep going back to the past, but really, its in the title. With that, do I still... more>> have to ask why the foolish gong is foolish? <<less

Seme gongs are starting to grow on me and this is one of the best ones! This is a cute, romantic and relatively brain free read.

Gong has zero brain cells, arrogant, but sweet only to shou. Shou is cold, nonchalant, but also sweet only to gong.

How MC changed ML's life for the better is so painfully sweet to read. I really like these kind of novels, what's even better is that their OG self is living so good too! MC in both life is sweet, loyal and kind, anybody would... more>> fam for him and ML's coldness and dedication is a delightful balance to the story.

Might I add that I love love mc's father on how he treats ML with no reservation and judgement. Really a goodv read 10/10! <<less

Somehow I'm surprised I didn't rate it the first time. Anways.

The story is so good. So sweet and fluffy. Not much angst is there. ... more>>
Spoiler

I just don't like either of the MC's mom's. MC's mom is too indifferent. Like your son did so good ij his exams and not a phone call? I get being absorbed in research but seriously?

Also ML's mom... it's complicated but I dunno, I hated the way she just ditched the second son. I get that he was a result of her trauma. I understand her. But I still found her kinda icky

[collapse]

Spoiler

Their relationship is very good. MC is s*upid and dumb tbh. He's an adult mentally and yet no differnt froma 10 year old.

[collapse]

My favourite character was

Spoiler

MC's Dad. He's the MVP. He reminds me a bit of the dad in my underachieving seatmate doesn't require any comforting. This Dad is the GOAT. The way he defended his son. Love him. I do wish he hadn't spoilt his son thaat much.

Easy and funny read especially after reading an angsty or plot heavy novel. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much because I just wanted to read something fluffy and light hearted but I was surprised when it turned out pretty decent. Especially the MC Qin Zhongyue because he made me laugh like crazy. To put it in a better way, I have never read about such an unique protagonist. He brain is definitely wired differently from the majority hhahahahah. But to put it in a bad way, he probably... more>> is lacking a little in terms of his EQ :")

BUTBUT the best part is that Qin Zhongyue really loves his wifey Xie Zhongxing. I love how he remained loyal and loving no matter what his friends say and how strict XZX treated him (there's a reason for it so read the extras to know more).
Spoiler

but rest assure that XZX really did love QZY in their past life, he was just a little too insecure and scared

[collapse]

There are many funny moments and conversations throughout the novel.

Spoiler

With 'I do not have any of those desires' written on his face, Xie Zhongxing said, "No, I won't. I don't want your s*upid virg*n body. I don't deserve it."

Qin Zhongyue, "?"

Qin Zhongyue insisted seriously, "You can't say that about yourself, you should be more confident. You are the only one in this world who deserves my virg*n body. Only you can defile me!"

[collapse]

Spoiler

Xie Zhongxing glanced at him, "Let's get up."

After a pause, a slender hand reached out in front of Qin Zhongyue. It was holding three notes.

Qin Zhongyue paused. When he looked over at Xie Zhongxing, Xie Zhongxing smiled back, "Three hundred a night. The discounted price for a Tsinghua duck."

Qin Zhongyue, "......"

This was cute, and the "gong" is a sweetheart. Absolutely cracked me up. Became a bit redundant and tropey towards the end, but it was light hearted and entertaining. The extras helped to bring the story full-circle.

Might be a brainless novel but it’s really nice and cute. ML and MC complement each other so well. There was zero boring parts so I didn’t stop halfway. This was in my other list, “Gonna read when tl is finished”, before but now I welcome it to “I can’t believe I finished it.

Thank you translator as well for the amazing translation. It felt like you were able tell their story the same way the author did.

It doesn't feel good that I finished it... I want more. It's such a cute novel about a gong liking his wife so much even in his next life. You always have to remind yourself of the title of the book though– Qin Zhongyue (MC) is indeed very foolish, but absolutely kind at heart. They both definitely complement one another. It's a sweet read that you wouldn't realize that you are done with. The author ended it nicely without dragging it out. I would've loved an extra chapter or two... more>> about the past life though... But I guess that's how it's really supposed to be. Nonetheless, it's a pretty entertaining novel. <<less

By the time I finished the main text I felt so conflicted that I didn't know whether I should cry or laugh in joy.

It was, great. MC and ML really complement each other. It was really touching that I was disappointed there's no more chapters.

I was sad it ended but also happy for MC and ML. Now I feel like crying again so I'll end my review here but really, try read it.

I was genuinely surprised by this novel.

Some people might have complained about the clueless MC but I LOVED it!

A foolish, innocent, childish MC with all the wealth and power in the world, and a tough, highly intelligent, capable ML from a poor background completed flipped the standard personality tropes. It's a fantastic read with a very unique and memorable couple.

... more>>
Spoiler

Actually what frustrated me more was maybe how everyone in the story looked down on the MC for being foolish. Why can't people be a little foolish or not be very good at speaking? It's not like he harmed anyone by being so? Why do CN people care so much about their self-image?

[collapse]

Super enjoyed it, and the romance was done very well. I loved how exasperated the ML would get towards the MC's antics and the clueless MC who didn't just magically know how to be romantic or woo his partner was very down-to-earth. It made the two couple feel more "real" than the usual "hyper-romantic couples-have-magical-telepathy" in these type of novels. I usually don't like school-life genre that much because it can get very juvenile and petty, but the author did a good job crafting this one.

Translation was absolutely fantastic. Really good job. Thank you translator! <<less

It was one of the the sweetest and most comforting novel I have ever read. I loved ML's foolishness and silly talked and how MC tolerated and loved him a lot. Overall 5 star. There isn't too many complicated plot points. There is some satisfying face-slapping and dog blood.

If you want something funny and refreshing with a supportive family this novel would be the one. MC is such a foolish and lovely character, the type that would do anything for ML. ML is the kind of cold guy at first, but he is such a cutie and *ehem* shameless haha. I find it very funny that MC is such a crybaby.

Spoiler

MC would cry when he saw ML cry hahaha
