Since there were so many bad reviews about the ML being a scum I had thought he was horrible but he's actually just a very, very ignorant person. I wouldn't call him a scum ML (not after reading those real scum ML novels).On the ML: Like I said, he is a very ignorant person who lack communication skills despite being a CEO of a big corporation. Thus, he assumes that the MC's love for him never change as when they were first married. Even when the white moonlight Lin Xiang returned, he assumes MC is just jealous so he never communicates properly with MC and never ask if MC wants to sleep with him which lead to a lot of dubcon/r*pe. He later realizes his own shortcomings and confess/propose to MC to try and salvage their marriage but it was too late. I didn't think he was a scum ML because he never sided with Lu Chen nor Lin Xiang to hurt MC at all. He was just so ignorant that he found out too late what Lu Chen and Lin Xiang did to MC and those two even place the blames on ML so MC misunderstand him. ML did hurt MC on the car driving scene but that was because he was ignorant of MC past accident.On the MC: Once he realizes he was just a canon fodder in a novel, he assumes ML will end up with Lin Xiang and that was ultimately the reason he insisted on the divorce even though ML was trying to salvage their marriage. He kept on believing that ML will definitely choose Lin Xiang as the story progress so he insisted to leave. I like that the author was using his Aunt Shen Xin's DV relationship to reflect MC relationship with ML. MC didn't want to be like his aunt so he left ML.On the transmigration: I'm not sure if the author even need the transmigration because that part was not important at all, lol. Like one day the MC just realize he's a character in a novel and he was just a canon fodder in the novel. That's it. That's the only part about transmigration in the novel so far (I'm on ch42 so I don't know if there will be more on it in the later chapters). I am assuming that in the original novel the white moonlight Lin Xiang is the white lotus protagonist who came back to take revenge on people who destroyed his family and eventually he ends up with ML in the novel after ML divorce MC. I'm not sure if Lin Xiang even like ML because it seems he just want to take ML from MC since he wants revenge on MC.Overall, not really a scum ab*se story but definitely has enough dog-blood and drama to get you to read if you like drama. If you want a real scum ab*se story, read "Stand-In Fool" (I mtl the novel on wattpad). That one is a bitter one that I cry almost every chapter for like 100 chapters (and there is almost zero redemption arc for scum ML in that story).
