In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.

Little did he know that the purpose of his biological parents was just to find a heart for his brother who had a heart disease.

The parents who he tried to please: “When the operation is successful, we’ll directly announce that he suddenly died.”

The older brother he wanted to be close to: “Don’t appear in front of me. Disgusting.”

Even the man Ye Chaoran cared about most only regarded him as a substitute.

As for his beloved younger brother Fang Yan, Ye Chaoran thought he was the only one who was good to him. Until the last moment, when he showed his true face.

It turns out that all along, he’s only been ridiculed, rejected, and hated.

Then he was reborn.

Now, Ye Chaoran just wants to repay his adoptive parents, get revenge while he’s at it, and live his life well.

–

Ye Chaoran, who’d just been found, refused to leave with his biological parents. The Fang family tried everything, giving him houses and cars, then persuading, then coercing. Finally, they prepared to kidnap him by force.

But bodyguards in black descended from the sky and threw the garbage aside.

An old man showed up, looking calm and proud: “Who dares to touch anyone from my Ye family?”

Ye Chaoran was confused: “Who is this?”

The adoptive father looked sad: “My father.”

Only then did Ye Chaoran realize that his adoptive father turned out to be the richest man’s runaway son!

His family is countless times richer than the Fang family!

    I enjoyed the heartwarming and lighthearted aspects of it, particularly the sweet interactions between the main character (MC) and the male lead (ML), as well as their family dynamics. However, I do find the story somewhat repetitive and lacking in variety, which can make it monotonous at times. It's a brief and effortless read, with occasional humorous moments to keep things light.

    This brief read was a delightful one, perfect for a single day's consumption. I appreciated the concise storytelling, as it deviated from the usual lengthy format for this type of premise. I'd rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars, as it was enjoyable but not exceptional enough to warrant a higher score. I might revisit it if I needed a light read or ran out of options.

    Surprisingly, despite some familiar tropes, the story managed to avoid feeling overly clichéd. The typical kidnappings and the eventual arrival of the hero or family to save the protagonist were present, but they played out differently. The kidnapping attempt wasn't successful, eliminating the need for a classic "save" scenario. Instead, the narrative took a unique turn, keeping me engaged.

    The drama struck a nice balance, as did the lighthearted moments. I particularly liked the bonus content that shed light on the backstory and the resolution. It would have been even better if there were multiple重生角色 or if the main character interacted more with the love interest, but overall, the happy ending for the two leads was satisfying.

    In summary, this was an entertaining read with just the right amount of both substance and charm.

    The narrative is concise and satisfying, with a touch of poetic justice that concludes neatly. This novel is designed for a single-day read, and I'm grateful that the focus on the protagonist's (MC) and main love interest's (ML) relationship didn't拖沓 into多余的 40-50 chapters after the revenge or karma was resolved. The pacing of their connection felt organic, considering the book's length, timeline, and character actions.

    What I particularly appreciate is the honesty in how the supporting characters address the aftermath of the original timeline, where the MC had passed away. Unlike many novels that opt for a happier alternate reality, this one delves into the consequences of the MC's fate, providing a more authentic and thought-provoking conclusion.

    "Sorry, Translator, but your translation isn't quite accurate. Here's how it was in Chapter 24:

    Teacher Wang's words were heartfelt, and this was all she could do to assist Ye Chaoran.

    "What am I thanking you for?" Teacher Wang's eyes were filled with concern. "Just don't blame me."

    Indeed, there's a missing sentence... an entire sentence.

    ____________

    Great, I thought it would turn into a dramatic scene, but no, I appreciate the simplicity from the author. Initially, my anticipation turned into anxiety because I expected a more intense plot twist.

    "Typical reincarnation, body swap tale with an added dash of intrigue. I shed quite a few tears while reading some of the extra chapters. Fang Yan was a villain through and through; I couldn't help despising that wasteful, useless existence. He certainly had it coming."

    I can hardly fathom how I devoted time to this. At best, it's unimpressive, and most of it feels forced. This would be your go-to for mindless entertainment. The repetitive focus on the characters' shyness—MC blushing and ML with red ears—it's almost comical. The author keeps reminding us that this is the central theme, but honestly, it's a clichéd重生故事: abandoned baby, a contrasting bio-family gone wild, a supportive adoptive family, high school achievements with the top rank, likable MC adored by all, and an omnipotent ML with wealth and power. It's a mishmash of overused tropes without much substance. Not interested in side plots, I'll stop here with the main storyline.

    Hello everyone! I am the translator of this novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, hoping the same experience can be shared with others. Although Ye Chaoran's backstory may seem dark, the story itself takes a different turn.

    This tale primarily revolves around an intense bond of familial love that transcends blood ties, a protagonist deserving of the world's kindness, and a heartwarming yet hilarious romance between two clueless, inexperienced high school sweethearts. Prepare for a delightful journey filled with moments of conflict that are resolved without dragging, and justice always prevailing.

    Here's a little spoiler: Even in the original storyline where the main character faced a tragic end, none of the characters receive a perfect resolution; yet, reading about their experiences will tug at your heartstrings.

    I'll leave the rest for you to uncover as you read. I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did. Happy reading!

    Absolutely fantastic. This is a must-read. It's a heartwarming tale of family love, retribution, and an abundance of emotions, including tears. A refreshing change with kind and loving parents, no complicated in-laws involved. Kudos to the translator for an outstanding job!
