- Modern World arc
MC has face paralysis and is the president of his families company. His boyfriend is the Film Emperor and the CP's shou. His half brother is the CP's gong and has come back from abroad for revenge, because the original owner (OO) of the MC's body inadvertently caused the half brothers mothers death.
(The brother in the original plot used the fact that he had a previous entanglement (it was unclear in the translation what kind of relationship I read, but I assume it was ambiguous enough) abroad with the the original owners (OO) boyfriend to seduce him away and than also used the OO's trust in him to get control of the families company. All while the OO chases after his ex-boyfriend with the help of his best friend, the side gong. Before the OO ruins himself and dies than after the CP has a HE)
The MC enters before the brother has returned from abroad and is relaxed because the plot has yet to start. The MC wants to mess with the Shou by acting nicer so when he later wears a green hat (gets cheated on) the Shou feels guilty, but this ends up causing the Shou to want to have a better relationship with the MC. Alongside that the MC becomes a fan of his film emperor boyfriend and starts secretly idol chasing him by asking for his autograph for a friend (the Shou isn't fooled :)).
Therefore, when the brother returns from abroad the Shou fights to hide the secret entanglement (to be fair the OO and Shou weren't together, but it's still akward to know that your brother used to be entangled with your boyfriend) and isn't at all interested in the brother. However, the entire time the MC thinks the plot is still moving along smoothly and believes he's being cheated on...
The MC finally arrived on the day where in the original plot he plans to propose to the Shou, but is rainchecked (left hanging). While the Shou definitely was distracted fighting off the brother, he did plan on coming until the MC told him to forget it. The MC believing he was being cheated on planned to go to a bar to act out the OO's sorrows. The bar is owned by the side gong and the OO's best friend. He accompanies the MC to drink until the MC becomes too drunk and needs the best friends help to get home. However from the best friends POV its revealed he has feelings for the OO. The MC while drunk sees the attractive appearence of the Side Gong and kisses him leading to an unexpected entanglement. (Oh dear...) (System couldn't get through to its drunk facecon host...) The next day, he tells the Side Gong to forget about the incident and hides it from the Shou.
The plot progresses where the MC reveals the OO and brothers relationship. The OO was always spoiled by both his father and his half-brothers mother to the point where the half brother was neglected. However the OO was always kind to the half brother and in reality the revenge was more due the broken promise of the OO promising he'd always be there for him. Apparently the OO was kidnapped and the half brother's mother supposedly died protecting him. Leading to a sudden estrangement by both the OO and the OO's father, who sent the half brother away. The brother mostly wanted revenge because he felt like the OO broke his promise although his reasons for revenge to me were super flimsy. Even when the MC tried to reveal the OO feelings of love for his brother by making a cake for the brothers birthday, the brother only believes that its to support the MCs relationship with his boyfriend making the brother want to destroy him more.
The brother than takes over the company by getting the other shareholders to betray the MC. But the MC doesn't really care and leaves the brother feeling empty.
Somewhere before this the Side Gong uses pictures of the Shou and half brother talking together (looks likes kissing) and sends it to the MC to make the MC break up with the Shou (All the while the MC thinks its the brother tryning to cause trouble). Anyways, the MC believes this is the moment where he'll get the Shou to reveal he's been wearing a green hat. However the Shou doesn't want to break up, and explains the truth while completing putting the blame on his brother.
After the MC loses his seat in the company he and the Shou go on vacation. However, its not long before the brother strikes revealing the Shou and MC's relationship. The Shou wants to confirm it but the MC think the plot has gone way off track and breaks up with the Shou while also revealing that he cheated (I think the Side Gong acutley was the one who revealed it). The Shou is heartbroken. : (
Uhhh... The brother's feeling empty about his revenge visits his mother's grave and acutley meets the kidnapper who mu*dered his mother and who reveals the secret plot. The mother acutley only approached the OOs father to get revenge and was pretending to love the OO to cast off suspicion. She was the one who hired the kidnapper and died during an argument between the two -all while the OO was watching the woman he treated as his mother curse him. The OO's father felt guilty for his son, and so he sent the brother away to compensate him for such a situation. (I also think they aren't acutley brothers??? Can't remeber sorry : (this spoiler is for those who want to know more before investing in a story!!!)
When the brother learns this he begins to immeditley regrets his behavior and wants to give back to the brother his mother harmed. He offers him back the company and tries to set things straight with the Shou for him. Earlier he paired up with the Side Gong to destroy the couple and now he reveals the partnership. Yet the MC also is told by the system of him triggering the hidden plot (at this point the plot has gone so off track that the MC is sad he'll likely get a low grade, and him finding a hidden plot is good because he'll get points that'll gelp improve his score) and recovers the OO's memories. In the OO memories when the mother was revealed to be the kidnapper and had been stabbed and left to die, he watched her bleed out as she pleaded for help... After confirming she was dead than did he call for help. This was the true reason why he never contacted his brother while he was abroad, he felt guilty everytime he saw him.
He reveals this to his brother but it doesn't really change the brothers motivation to give back all the things he stole.
Anyways... Brain processing... The Side Gong realizes that he's unlikely to get together with the MC and sees that the brothers preparing for a second proposal for the two. He drugs and kidnaps the MC but the brother and Shou find him. The three gongs (Shou is totally a gong but I call him Shou because of original CP, also the brother was the orginal gong) end up fighting each other until the MC saves the Side Gongs life by taking a blow and ends up dying.
...
Surprisingly the MC gets a B score.
He goes back to reality and has an ecounter with the Male God of his acting school, gets food and continues playing.
/ This too me is pretty classy Jimo Yao shurafield. Always with the face slapping the MC or other characthers expectations and the one overpossesing or basically omnipresent gong and the sweet gong that blackens. Although her other harem books that have no CP or HE are just knives!!! JUST KNIVES!!! NEVER FORGET XU YU... at least I think that was his name... That poor spare tire. \
[collapse]2. Ancient WorldMC wants a win... MC is Weak Tag AlongFunny Two Faced CP Gong (Righteous cultivator vs his love demons.) Sweet Best Friend CP Shou (and a classic one at that... Lol. Soul fragments attract) Deadbeat Dad Antagonist (Uh just wasn't as interesting as the love drama..) 3. Modern WorldFavorite MC so far (Angsty teen turned into wife pursing maniac...) MC thinks this is the one...Cold Meticulous Lawyer CP Shou (He's a tsundere and fools the poor MC).Cold ruthless CEO CP Gong (Really bad behavior...) I didn't get to finish this arc and I'm super depressed cause I stopped at an extreme cliffhanger...There are more arcs and if you use google chrome can go the Jjwtc website to pursue the fated coins that allow access!!!This book fits my taste, my review is super biased.After I read the Villains fell for me after rebirth I've been searching for stories similar, leading me to chase after chinese sites with transmigration books and have been using my google translator to read all of Jimo Yao works. Along with Long Qi who can do similar stories but his stories almost always end with the ML's all being the same person... I personally like Shurafields especially when they involve previous love affairs of transmigrators.Jimo Yao also wrote the Scum Shou Survival guide and Strategy to capture that Scum Gong!!!SpoilerI cry everytime I read that arc where the President Xie played that beautifuel rich son. Everytime!!! Where's my alternate ending where he ends up with the second ML!!!!!!!
