2.5 starsI mtl'ed it. Not bad but not great.The story is extremely slow paced because the author is very verbose. The author describes every minute detail about the economy, the village/city, the family branches, previous life experiences/grudges, etc. I just want to know about the journey and growth of the main couple & could care less about the rest.Irregardless, the main character is VERY likeable.

- Edit: the synopsis is actually misleading and presents MC as a scum man who wanted to abandon ML and marry a woman. Even if MC was irresponsible towards ML in past life, I respect him for not immediately pursuing ML after rebirth. Instead, he created an environment that nurtured ml. (This was also important because ML was underage.)
- MC remained a generous human in both lifetimes
- MC was quick to self correct once he realised the error of his ways.
- This is a pure rags to riches story. There is no golden finger. MC doesn't magically know how to trade stocks or suddenly know English. He doesn't trade in black market. MC works from the gutter bottom, steadily. &Amp; It's even more admirable because he accumulated wealth in last life but now, humbly worked within his skill sets instead of taking shortcuts.

- I despised how everyone coddled Zhao Dongjuan. She just needed a beating, curtailing her money & food, even threatening to marry hdf back to the mountains. There were so many ways to control this entitled leach. The whole family was passive & refused to be responsible for disciplining her.
- The Guan clan. Spoiler
It is absolutely disgusting that the grandma essentially stole ML & robbed him of a good childhood, even until her death
[collapse]. His adoptive father did not deserve the 4k. Even the little grandma felt entitled to ml's food & money. The exploitation was disturbing.
