Description

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

Song Xuanhe transmigrated into a book called “The President’s Seven Boyfriends”. He became the President’s cannon fodder ex-boyfriend, Song Xuanhe.

The Song Xuanhe in the book: 180 cm tall, so attractive he would trump over even the hottest celebrities, three generations of family in business–a very appropriate rich third generation.

It wasn’t a loss to transmigrate into this kind of person. It was just that this was a rebirth story.

The Song Xuanhe in the book ab*sed the male lead 800 times and had even indirectly caused the male lead’s death. Faced with the reborn blackened male lead, his fate was obvious–not only did he reach rock bottom, he even died without an intact corpse.

Right now, he had become the cannon fodder ex-boyfriend that was foreordained to die without an intact corpse.

—–

System: Don’t you think that the male lead has been a bit strange recently? It’s like he’s plotting something in the dark.

Song Xuanhe: Plotting how to kill me?

System: No, plotting how to eat you.

—–

Song Xuanhe, who was lying on the bed with an aching waist, pained back and legs suffering from cramps, cursed the System 800 times–what happened to the male lead being a shou?!

Emphasis: Xiao Yuanmu is the gong! Xiao Yuanmu is the gong! Xiao Yuanmu is the gong! Moreover, the big shot has always been a gong! Spoilers only up to here!

A big thank you to the person who actually translated the last three chapters !!!

I actually find the reviews a little harsch. It's a good story with interesting characters.

The story actually develops itself until the last chapter.

It's a good read and a recommandation.

I am quite baffled as to why this is so badly rated. The characters are all complex and 3 dimensional, I'm sorry that it's not all face slapping and fluff. The MC as well as the ML have it rough, and I won't agree with anyone the want to pass them off as s*upid people that refuse to talk. People have read transmigration novels so much that it's all very saturated and they fail to acknowledge the normal thought process a person might have after being throw into a book... more>> they've read. There is apprehension and most importantly there will always be the inability to see book characters as completely fleshed out people that have their own personalities beyond what's portrayed in a very chapters of a book.

I'd like everyone to get into this novel with such mindset. <<less

First of all thank you to the original translator "XIIN" and to the translator "rain" who gave us the last 3 chapters. I was sad I hadn't been able to complete this novel when I was so close to the end, so thank you very much!!

This novel is fun. No great innovative plot here, but lots of face slapping and such. Crazy over the top telenovela, with touches of melodrama, and just crazy over the top situations, but if taken for what it is, it is a fun read.

This is was kinda wack. The author does more telling than showing like they're always telling us how complicated and how much depth the MC and ML have but like WHERE'S THE DEPTH?? It's just confusing... And ik only the main couple can understand each other's person but like idk the reader should understand what's going on, right?

The last third was pretty good but won't recommend. Also, the way we get to know the MC's past and feeling felt really inorganic to me.

The best way to describe this novel is frustrating. I can't stand the MC or the ml, and the side characters are not any better.

The plot is ok I think, even tho its repetitive and clichéd my problem with this novel is the characters.

The MC is a shitty person, I'm fine with that I don't always like reading about some happy go lucky guy anyways, but this guy is just so—how do I put it? So confusing at times, half the times I don't understand his motives (which are very... more>> inconsistent if you ask me) and it really pissed me off when he suddenly makes decisions that are out of character, like getting involved with petty side character drama even tho he doesn't even consider them to be anything more than cannon fodder, or just plain s*upid like when
Spoiler

he got shot for no real goddamn reason, I felt bad for his system having to put up with him.

[collapse]

His past life actually went nowhere it was only present for additional "angst", I also don't buy that he loves the ML because let's be real, what's there to love anyways?

The ML is sooooo f*cking bland and what makes him more unbearable is all the times when it's shoved down my throat how beautiful and smart and perfect he is, like I don't care? He's the typical iceberg type and it gets annoying quickly (if I have to read about the ripples in his eyes one more time I'll claw my own out) and while I sympathized with him at first, gradually I stopped caring about anything relating to him or his family drama or whatever yada yada

And can we talk about the amount of useless evil for no reason background characters? There are literally so many that the translator (I believe) made a literal chart for it lmao, I remember keeping that tabbed just so I could understand who was who while reading, so unnecessary as they add nothing to the story and are essentially just filler. Face slapping is cringe worthy to begin with imo and I especially didn't like it in this novel. I also didn't enjoy the authors portrayal of poor ppl? I don't know how to describe it but the theme of class and ppl who are and aren't born rich left a bad taste in my mouth, but maybe that's just me. The timeline was also a bit confusing to follow for me, I was constantly waiting for when MC needed to return back to his world, but it felt like that part almost kept getting delayed because of how many times they mention it's gonna take more x amount of time. The pacing was a mess. For a slow burn the relationship was not even worth it, remember when the

non reborn ML fell for the MC even when the MC was literally abusive (because of the system) ?? Was complimenting his food enough to make him fall in love?? Wtf??

Spoiler

had s*x without any proper communication because ik the ML knows that the MC isn't the same person to some extent, however that doesn't make their relationship any less unhealthy, if they want to be together I needed them to talk first, f*ck the system, and f*ck the "they don't need to communicate because they understand each other without saying anything" nonsense, speak to each other, otherwise your relationship can't be repaired

[collapse]

I honestly think they'd be better off without each other, It felt like the ended up together without ever coming together in a way, almost like settling for something that's not necessarily healthy. The lack of communication between them was unsatisfying, especially since all they did was dance around the problems in their relationship for pretty much the entire novel. Enough said ig, reading this was a waste of time imo but I can see some people enjoying it cuz it wasn't boring, I think? Since I was able to read almost till the end without dropping it and I can't say the same for a lot of other similar novels. <<less

Don't like any of the main characters. Their opponents are always brainless but I had to drop it in the chapter where a waiter splashes a drink on one of them and the ML basically allows him to be sold into s*xual s*avery. It just left a bad taste in my mouth. Can't be f*cking bother to read about a pair of rich kids run roughshod over everyone else and be rewarded for it with love and companionship. It's also quite classist. Also, I can't help feeling like the rebirth... more>> of the ML just killed the version of him I liked without any fanfare.

This novel is absolutely fantastic, I really can't praise it enough. Most of these 'transmigrated into a novel' stories have relatively high stakes, usually that the MC will die if they don't complete certain tasks, but this is the first time I've read one where the author really makes you feel the mind boggling weight of those stakes.

The MC and ML feel so real, you can tell the author put a lot of love and care into crafting their story. You'll cry and laugh and in the end, I think... more>> you'll be totally satisfied. As a bonus, the other characters are extremely well written and even the worst character has their own realistic motivations.

Often in the story, the system remarks that humans are confusing and changeable, and I think that is the true theme of the novel. <<less

I really loved this book and the protags. MC was smart and cunning but not completely deadhearted. ML was typical Ice-King Gong, but he could also be sensitive and just precious.

The only part that dissapointed me was probably the latter half of the middle section.

Spoiler

ML and MC got seperated for a long time for no real discernable reason. They finally met up but weren't even together long before they got separated again. I just want them to be together bruh ;-; The epilogue was sweet though, so at least we have that.

[collapse]

Overall, it's a great read. The first half is really the best in terms of pacing, ploting and buildup. And the romance is a slow burn which I'm a sucker for. <<less

I don't know about others, but I loved the book and I loved the journey from starting to end. I loved MC and ml's character growth and I also loved how they slowly changed their views of people and the world around them.

When the reborn ML took place of the book's ml, my heart hurt for 7 chapters straight or even more. Whenever the reborn ML thought of pre rebirth ml's memories, it wasn't a big deal, but as soon as he explained the pre rebirth ml's feelings for MC... more>> in those memories, it hurt so bad. At that time I felt that MC and pre rebirth ml... why couldn't they have been togather.

But the turning point was, readers and MC together realising that pre rebirth ML and the reborn ML are same person. Still with same habits. Just with extra memories and much more experience... it was beautiful to realise that Along with the MC.

This book is not without plot Holes, but rather than calling them plot holes, they actually are omitted facts. If you want a very detailed book about every single thing going on, the author would have to write a million words long book..

Also SOMEONE WRITE FANFICTIONS ON THIS BOOK!! This book has so much POTENTIAL for FANFICTIONS. GOOD LORD!! if you write/ find any fanfictions for this book, PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! message me... <<less

I got so annoyed with XYM after chater 60+ when he got that stomach cramps. There's no triggering event at all to make him be so cold suddenly. It's as if the author just want to start the angst arc for no reasons. 😒 The author has a habit of just introducing things into the story without any builtups and then explain it later with a flashback in great details.

Angsty novel with a transmigrator MC and a reborn ML. From the preview, I thought this would have been a fluffy lighthearted novel but I quickly realised this novel isn't for me. I persevered till chapter 27 then dropped. I just don't like reading stories where the MCs are not allowed to OOC by the system. I did not like SVSSS for the same reasons. This kind of plot setting naturally leads to misunderstandings and angst. Having the protags go through the same pain and suffering despite being transmigrated/reborn is... more>> too masochistic for me... I like reading fluff danmei for escapism...

There were quite a few inconsistencies in the short 27 chapters I read... for e.g. the system prevents MC from OOC but when ML behaves oddly, the system isn't alarmed... it even tries to reassure MC by saying that it is human nature to change! But if the ML changes won't that affect the plot? Isn't the system aware of the butterfly effect? There were other incoherences, especially regarding MC's character. <<less

Oh Lord this novel is so FRUSTRATING on so many levels. The main issue is: no communication!

Almost abysmal communication between MC and ML (gosh, I'm so annoyed, they never really talks. Whenever they talk about something important, one of them will evade. They properly talk after chap 130ish out of 155 chaps, bruh). Not to mention many other characters that also seem to be can't understand human language.

The slow plot that literally dragged too much, ah so frustrating.

Not gonna lie... This story really have a promising idea, but what's happend with the sudden ending??? Did the author give up on continuing the plot or did author just really not care about every detail she/him wrote from the start???

Because there are too many unresolved plot holes in the story leave...

Let's see... First, There is a mysterious relationship between Zhou Nan and Yu Yan which is unclear until the end...

Besides that, there is also Bai Mo and his friends who are included in one of the antagonists in the story that is still roam free.

Not to mention the problem of Xiao Shenglin who is said to have returned to the Xio family, but until the end it is not explained what his position in the family is... and there is also his sister, who appears quite often in the middle but doesn't have any effect on the story.

There's also the issue of the MC family not having a clear ending (mc's father, uncle and aunt...) and also ML father Xiao Lin who threatens ML, which is not even resolved until the end.

And much more...

[collapse]

Besides that, there is also a plot that is rushed and messy since the middle of the story...

Spoiler

Previously it wasn't said that MC could stay after finishing the plot, but suddenly changed to he could stay... Not to mention the problem about the system shop that suddenly appeared + system who sacrificed themselves for MC and ML... I mean Hello!!!??? From the beginning of the story the system is not described as having a close relationship with MC, their conversation always feels bland from beginning to the end... So where did this self-sacrifice plot come from???

[collapse]

If the author can be more thorough and serious... Then this story will definitely explode, unfortunately the author is just in too much of hurry, so the story itself becomes messy... <<less

Ah this is a slowburn guaranteed to boil you alive

I generally don't like to put "reviews" down for novels I haven't finished fully digesting, but if I don't type out my thoughts now, they'll never see the light of day. The premise isn't anything new; we've seen our fair share of "transmigrating into a novel but failing to follow the plot" storylines. It's as new as isekai LNs but I'm always curious to see if there's anything novel about each one I come across. There's really two camps for this... more>> one: you either love it or hate it.

If you're not nitpicking the awkward pacing, then you're either criticizing MC's frustrating roundabout way of seizing epiphanies or the lack of depth in the main CP's relationship. It could also be the extremely petty instances or brainless characters that reoccur & dampen any positive progress between our two equally stubborn main leads.

I see & accept the cons, but I do side with the "f*ck it I'm in love with this novel" camp. Song Xuanhe & Xiao Yuanmu are an acquired taste. If you go in assuming they're like every other slowburn couple, you are incorrect! These two are honestly aggravating. Sure, there are some soft & endearing fluffy moments, but the amount of tension, bitterness, hidden-but-not-truly-concealed moments dominate the entirety of their relationship. As much as you want to make them smooch each other, they are equally stubborn & wary of each other. As frustrating as it is, I still think it's a pretty interesting approach to a transmigration novel. If the author wanted to highlight the complexities of transmigration, it's here. There's a myriad of themes—& though not as fleshed out as I'd like—it manages to set the novel apart from others in the same subgenre.

TL;DR This is a matter of preference. If you like it, great. If not, then that's fine as well. Nevertheless, give it a shot!

I might edit this when translations are complete. As always, major props to the TLs- you are all phenomenal <<less

The first time I read this book, I actually really really liked it. It was a fresh new type of danmei (bc back then I only read wuxia/xianxia/historical etc. novels) and honestly, and now even as a veteran danmei reader, it's still quite enjoyable.

There is just something about the dynamics of the main characters that's just.. good... iykwim???? It's honestly a matter of personal preferences to be honest, especially since my favourite parts of romance novels are the pining/courting/pursuing from the ML (WHICH THIS NOVEL SLAPS ON YOUR FACE TRULY... more>> LIKE... the USA arc was chefs kiss 👌👌👌👌👌) UGHH and also ML just fits... that guilty pleasure ideal man you know? Smart, rich, can cook, stoic/cold to others, kind to his loved ones, clingy and lovey-dovey to MC... etc. Those kinds of men that'll sweep you off your feet. It's one of the attractive points of this novel for me, actually.

Aside from the main characters, the side characters and cannon fodders aren't that special and you'd best focus on the leads rather than expect any development from the settings lol.

It definitely has its cons - there are a few frustrating moments; but the entertainment/faceslapping/dogblood drama keeps me coming back to re-read. The enjoyment is really up to your preferences, some would love this novel while others would not.

The novel is a pretty entertaining read, but if you're looking for a serious and well written novel, then I'd suggest you not to read it. Especially if you enjoy serious and more detailed pieces. <<less

I can proudly declare this novel as my favorite amongst all favorites. The single best thing I have ever experienced. Even though it's not the most phenomenally detailed novel I've read, it just connected with me more than any finely-written novel ever had. I remember first reading this and everything about it struck something deep within my heart. I think this is my perfect story. I really liked it. It's my millionth time rereading, so might as well write a short review as well. I found this story extremely interesting... more>> and definitely worth the read. First of all, let me address some negative things that have been consistently brought up in the reviews (potential spoilers!) :

Lots of people hate the fact that the MC is calloused and cold. I think they forget that he has a role to play, if you read the novel, it is frequently shown how much the MC sympathizes with the ML. He clearly feels distressed about doing bad things and treating the ML horribly, but he doesn't have a choice. The system clearly told him that he would die if there was a slight deviation in the plot... did you expect him to ignore that and seek death? All novel plot aside, the MC's original personality can be insensitive towards the ML at times, he has his flaws. I just think this makes him a more in-depth character, not every main character has to have the perfect temper.

Another thing I saw being brought up was that this story is a slow burn. Like, an extremely slow one. I do agree, it's a slow burn romance, this can be a bad thing if it's not the pacing that you like to read at. However, I personally find the slow burn nice. It gives more space for the plot and relationship building, as well as the character building. It's important to know that this novel isn't focused on the nitty-gritty of their romance, it's about the development of their relationship and feelings. If that's not the type of plot that you like- or if you prefer novels where the characters fall in love very quickly- then maybe consider skipping this one. I will tell you, though, that the coupling here is so beautiful and so sweet. I could practically feel my heart melting. It's hard to explain, but although they were not a fluffy clingy pair, they had the most beautiful relationship I've ever read in a danmei. Every conversation and interaction had the impression of mutual care. It gave the impression that they were the only two people in the entire world. I can't explain how obsessed I am. I find this novel extremely pleasant because of the substance. Nonetheless, everything is subjective.

Typical dog-blood drama, not complaining, though. It's really enjoyable, the main characters have their goods and bads, the side characters can be a bit one-dimensional sometimes, but it depends on their relevance within the story. You can tell when a character is a long-term ally, or if they're just present for the sake of getting face-slapped. I found that many side characters were left unresolved in the main text.

As for the system... it's ending was honestly so bittersweet. I was really touched by it's love and sacrifice for the MC.

I said I was going to shoot for a shorter review... but it's hard to control my typing. I will stop it here for now, do give this novel a shot. I loved it. <<less

This novel felt like a maze, in which you'll go down one road (a plot point) and then reach a wall (unsatisfying and useless conclusion to said plot point), then have to turn back and usually end up right back where you started, never truly reaching any groundbreaking resolutions or making progress toward the end. Someone before me said it felt like a student doing a word quota for an assignment and that's a pretty appropriate description for this. Its pretty... aimless, and not in a slice of life kind... more>> a way because you could tell this novel was for building tension and not to make you feel the warm and fuzzies. But the tension building would, well, build and then sort of dissapitate in the air. Scenes we're supposed to be excited for arent that exciting tbh.

Also I dont think I understand the MCs character. He felt very contradictory. He'd spout alot of stuff and look down on ppl loftily in his head, as if he was above them, but all his actions felt so lackluster. I didn't feel like anything he was doing was backing up that level of "immortal god, you cant touch me" vibes. I usually like characters like this too but he just rubbed me the wrong way I dont know. I just wasnt feeling what the author portrayed him as.

Meanwhile ML was like a mannequin and not just in an emotional way. But like in an action way. Things just happened to him, and he stood there (and not in a doormat way, but like a fcking mannequin). He didn't really seem to do anything. For a story that supposedly revolved around him he didn't make much impact. I blame this on the author too tho bc a lot of the scenes he was in were very wordy and prolonged when they didn't need to be, plus they were talking about anything that doesnt have to do with him, in scenes with him as a focus (???). Like they were... filling up a word quota or smth.

The romance between the two was terrible. There, I said it. It was very unsatisfactory and tbh I didn't understand how they fell in love (more importantly the MLs complete 180 jesus it was out of no where). Buildup is so important in romance and this one didn't have a great one. I think the reason why I didn't like it was because of the MCs apathy, maybe. Like his character, I just didn't buy it.

In any case I felt like there was alot of useless information. Like theres stuff an author writes for the future plot, or for you to understand stuff better, or for a more descriptive setting. But this felt like I was reading smth wrote randomly (not the story itself, but the execution). The summary, plot, and setup was all very nice until we get around to the execution of said things. The idea was nice, anyway.

Conclusion, I found it very lackluster (not rlly worth the stars it has tbh I've read better transmigration into book novels with less stars than this) but I know some people found it realistic and it wasnt smth super terrible so I gave it a 3. <<less

This is actually good. People who have complaints about main characters have no understanding of the story and background of those characters. I don’t know If they even read couple of chapters. It’s a pleasant read, characters are realistic with emotional baggage. MC went through many traumatic experiences and It’s interesting to me how his behavior is very accurate (based on my experience)

I have read many novels about transmigration, but this one stuck in my memory the most. All the characters left some kind of impression, there was no feeling the secondary characters were just background and the evil characters were just evil and s*upid in their anger. The main character, Song Xuanhe, left a strong impression on me - his thoughts, emotions, behavior, I liked everything about him, I never felt any negative emotions towards the hero. It was rare the main character didn't irritate me with his behavior.

... more>>
Spoiler

I was especially impressed he went to a country with military actions, the author described his complex emotional state perfectly.

[collapse]
The interaction of Song Xuanhe with Xiao Yuanmu was also well described - the development of their romantic relationship was at its best, I adored and believed in every moment. It was very interesting to read all the thoughts and actions of Xiao Yuanmu, I was delighted to observe his entire path - from what he was like at the beginning, and then how he gradually changed after the second reincarnation towards the end of the story. I especially applaud the part they really devoted a lot of time to the hero's feelings about his relocation to another world, how much it affected his psychological state, I really believed in such a character.

And also, I fell in love with the story of the system, I was touched by this little addition, so emotional for me.

Started skimming from ch69. Around ch100s and some parts are starting to seem familiar. I might have read at least part of this before.

Honestly, there's few people in this story to even like. Guan Zhi, one of the ML's former targets and Xiao Ruanyi, distant relation to the ML and younger cousin of MC's close friend, and they're both young (like 18-19). Everyone else is either complicated, unlikeable, or downright tr*sh. Even the MC and ML frustrate or bore me at different points in the story.

It was fun in the... more>> beginning, and I loved watching the pre-rebirth ML slowly fall for MC. I knew this wasn't that kind of story and it would have gotten awkward later since the system forced MC to comply with the plot where he does terrible things to the ML, but I honestly wish that was the story we got. They were so cute together. But everything changes after ML's rebirth. He has to fall for MC all over again, but then after that, it's all about business and family politics. Their relationship doesn't actually start to pick up until they talk about breaking up, and once ML leaves the country, it's pretty much boring. The story is slow from the beginning because the chapters are long and padded with a lot of (mostly superfluous) info dumps. I only held out for 69 chapters because it was still interesting, but I became impatient from that point.

They get together (unofficially? Around ch130s (or 113 I can't remember) and do the deed ch140, where ML turns into a total sap. Which is cute, but also means that his characterization for the first 97% or so of the story collapses.

[collapse]

It wasn't a story that made me feel very good by the end. There's a lot of angst with the familial relationships, and author even added in some last minute angst. Down to near the end of the last chapter the characters still fear separation, and it's resolved in a couple paragraphs just before the end. There's extras, but they weren't very satisfying.

Although, I will say there was one unique thing about it. Though he was a love novice, like always, this is the first time I've met an MC who admits to having been with both men and women in his previous life (at least, it's mentioned once that he kissed both men and women before) so his rejection of the ML has nothing to do with gender or sexuality, but his own issues. Well, it's not a bad read, but I've left a review this time so I definitely won't be reading this again. <<less
