It's a set of four volumes manhwa. The story was completed. The art style was so and so. The story had a dark theme to it.
Yoon Taemin finally could catch a breather and start a fresh life. Unfortunately, he had an accident and somehow managed to swap bodies with Han Siwon. Han Siwon in Yoon Taemin's body succumbed to death. So now we know Yoon Taemin won't be able to go back. Probably because he was a fighter, Yoon Taemin, hence forward will be known as Han Siwon, took it with grace. He learned that Han Siwon did not have a good relationship with his twin brother, Han Jiwook and that his suicide may have something to do with said twin brother.
At school, he met Min Woojin, his former childhood friend. He was a bit salty after Woojin disappeared. But, he also needed Woojin's help to unravel the mystery behind the suicide.
A lot of readers weren't happy that the real Han Siwon did not get a happy ending. I agreed though. He could lived as Yoon Taemin but, chose to let go instead. He was severely depressed and the story that led to it was sad. Such a warm person, ended like that. *sigh*

Outstanding look, top of the department. Jeong Dojun —Business Department, Class of '18— thought that his university life would go smooth, but he ended up meeting Song Jaehee again inside their dormitory. There was something that he couldn't solve with Song Jaehee during high school.
Dojun's life at college is off to a perfect start! Until he meets his roommate, Jaehee, a high school friend whom he may have ghosted. Jaehee claims he's over their unresolved past, but after an accident resulting in a fractured wrist, he makes Dojun a proposition.
Volume 1 was basically them reestablishing their friendship and of course solidifying their relationship as lovers. At the same time readers get to see a bit about Dojun's history that led him not to believe in love. Dojun yearned to be accepted by his family members and he focused most of his times on studies. Jaehee was a glitched in his life that did not condone to his believe.
Overall, I love the art style. I also love the pace of the story although at times it's too slow....more

Jing Shao was given a chance to redo his life. However, that chance started on his wedding night after he did the deed with his male wife. He did not know whether he should rejoice or curse at his fate. All he knew was that he had a lot to do; starting from wooing his wife. The chance gave him a lot of insight of his prior life. He realized that he was not meant to sit on the throne. His journey towards his new goals was entertaining albeit dragging in some parts.
Not many story was written in the 'top' point of view. So, it was refreshing to read one. The novel was done with translation after a few years. And it had also been adapted into manhua....more

There should be a tag for slow-burn romance on NU because for the life of me, copulate like bunnies already. The chemistry between Song Xuanhe (MC) and Xiao Yuanmu (ML) was no joke. The translation was also a slow-burn. I couldn't believe after years, this novel was finally fully translated. I shed tears of joy.
Song Xuanhe transmigrated into a book and was given a mission. Once he was done with his part as a tragic cannon-fodder, he could return to his world and prolong his life. However, Song Xuanhe was not as evil as the character he was supposed to play. Whenever he had to do something bad towards Xiao Yuanmu, he always made sure that our ML was safe.
Towards the end of the main story, Song Xuanhe was given another choice; either he stay or leave. It was a crucial decision because there was a lot at stake. But, fret not, it's a HE....more

Most MC in QT genre wanted the chance to reincarnate or return to their life prior to death. However, our MC's only wish was to retire on a planet he owned and planted fruit trees because according to him, fruits are a luxury item. This story was his last world before his retirement.
The story was angst with a touch of humor. Because our MC was looking forward to his retirement, he took a shortcut without going OOC. According to him, if you can boil one egg or five eggs with the same amount of time, why bother boiling only one.
And so, we got as follow:- Egg 1: Master-servant contract with physical and mental abuse aplenty Egg 2: Carving out one of your kidneys for the white moonlight Egg 3: Brainwashing/reconditioning shame play Egg 4: You’re nice but unfortunately not clean enough Egg 5: Save him and I can marry you
The writer was good at making us readers hated the Eggs and later sympathize with them after the 'abuse' they got from our MC.
Do note that our MC have only one goal in mind; to retire on an island he owned and planted fruit trees. Every time you guys sympathize with the Eggs, remember that goal.
The trees was an ongoing humor because every time our MC saw a tree he liked, he would keep in mind to plant that tree on his planet.
Another feature for this QT was that any money our MC earned, will be channel to his retirement account. There were various way to channel it and in this story, our MC chose to donate the money to an orphanage where the original host used to live. It's a win-win situation because both the orphanage and our MC gained something from it. And so, our MC strive to earn more money. Anything that can generate money, he will and can do it.
The writer received a lot of negative comments from readers because of the ending. And here's the thing, those readers forgot our MC's goal. I even repeated that goal twice in bold.
I tag is as wife-chasing because there was such plot. However, keep in mind our MC's goal....more

Leak sex tape and acid attack were what crushed Han Nokyoung in his previous life. So, when he returned to the past, he had three things he wanted to redo; his relationship with his Manager, his relationship with his junior actor, and the person who threw acid on him. He also realized that the horrible things may be avoided if he avoided two people in his life; Jang Hyunjae and Kang Junil.
What I would like to share is not an in-depth review of the plot. The thing that tickled my heart was that when Han Nokyoung was around Jang Hyunjae and/or Kang Junil, he was on the shorter and smaller side. But, when he was around his Manager or most people, he was similar and/or taller. The contrast was too big for me to not pay attention....more

The universe was a webnovel written in the span of three years and published in 2014. The novel tells the story of Xie Ke, a concubine son, and his journey to be the Emperor. One of the cannon fodder in the novel was Fu Zhiyu, a ruthless prince who slaughtered his way to be the Emperor. In the novel, Fu Zhiyu meets his ultimate demise at the hands of Xie Ke.
However, the novel universe materialized and the plot derailed, caused by some bug that may pose a problem. And so, the Lord God decided to send an actor to play Xie Ke and brought the plot back to the original. Xie Ke was told another actor would also be brought into the universe. And so, when he saved Fu Zhiyu at the lake instead of the original female lead, he assumed the actor was Fu Zhiyu. He fell in love with Fu Zhiyu and told himself once the plot ended, they could be together. And so, he strived hard to bring the plot back to the original. And in the original, Fu Zhiyu must die.
After Fu Zhiyu died, only then Xie Ke knew he wasn't the actor. He was the bug. Under Xie Ke's hand, the universe reversed and became a free universe, meaning even as an actor, he wouldn't be OOC. Xie Ke came with the impression that the universe restarted not knowing that Fu Zhiyu was reborn. And so, the wife-chasing crematorium kick-off.
Knowing all of this, I knew I couldn't hate Xie Ke. He's not a scum ML. He's just stuck between a rock and a hard place....more

Yan Ming Xiu, ML, cameo in an ABO novel also written by Shui Qian Cheng. This novel received a lot of 1 star on NU because of the substitute plot.
Basically, Yan Ming Xiu had a crush on a guy's back and because he couldn't get that guy (he mistook someone else as the guy and that someone else was in a relationship with his sister), he hired (old) Zhou Xiang (MC) to be the substitute. And when he realized that he had fallen in love with (old) Zhou Xiang, who was assumed dead, he hired (young) Zhou Xiang to be the substitute. Then he realized that the guy, (old) Zhou Xiang, and (young) Zhou Xiang were basically the same person.
The first 1/3 was about Yan Ming Xiu and (old) Zhou Xiang, the next 2/3 was about him and (young) Zhou Xiang, and the rest was after he found out everything and started chasing his 'wife'.
Yan Ming Xiu was ice cold (the usual CEO characteristics in most novels/dramas) when it came to everyone else but, towards the one he loved, he's practically a child; especially so towards Zhou Xiang. I found it endearing and annoying at the same time. Zhou Xiang once mentioned that he couldn't be angry too long with Yan Ming Xiu because of this.
Do take note that most of Shui Qian Cheng novels have r*pae tag on it. Including this one....more

132 Chapters + one extra and by the end of the day, my mind was tired. Shui Qian Cheng is well known for this type of dog-blood drama and it's not disappointing.
In this universe, S-class AO was rare. Especially S-class Alpha. Giving birth to one was like hitting the jackpot. In order to produce more S-class Alpha, Qu Moyu (S-class Alpha) was engaged with You Baiyue (S-class Omega). However, Qu Moyu did not want to mark You Baiyue. In retaliation, You Baiyoue got into a relationship with Qu Moyu's cousin, another S-class Alpha. Shen Dai, a B-class Omega, You Baiyue's half-brother, was brought into the picture to replace him.
Shen Dai had a huge crush on Qu Moyu. The ice-cold S-class Alpha treated him well and Shen Dai had high hopes that their contract relationship could be something more. His dreams were shattered when he was scheme on by Qu Moyu's cousin with the help of his Omega father. And to make matters worse, Qu Moyu did not believe him. Hurtful words were thrown and Shen Dai went into seclusion.
A year later, Shen Dai and Qu Moyu crossed paths again and embarked on the journey of wife-chasing crematorium.
S-class Alpha don't always mark their Omega. They did not want to be shackled. For them relationship was just to produce an heir. And Qu Moyu was one of those S-class Alpha with the same mindset. Being given a mark by an S-class Alpha was like being given the greatest gift. And Qu Moyu would never offer it willy-nilly. However, when he realized he could not live without Shen Dai, he humbled himself and decided to give this greatest gift only to be rejected. He was like a puppy thrown away by his own owner.
Honestly, I stuck to the story till the end after knowing that the translator was doing their doctorate. There's a certain flavor to scholarly people. Lol. But yes, it made the story more interesting knowing it was translated by a scholar....more

In short, it was about a contract marriage between MC and ML and how their feelings blossomed into something more.
What I wanted to talk about was the extras. Extras were usually written to share what happened after the 'happily ever after' or side couples. Instead, the writer decided to take a different approach. Part 1 was Patriarch Luo's Unrequited Love. We already have bits and pieces of this in the main story. Even though it was sweet, I did not want to walk down memory lane. Part 2 was Affectionate Cub Raising. By the title alone you probably should know that it was about them raising their nephew which was also in the main story. Part 3 was What If. It features the probability of the main couple not separating after they met the first time. Where were my side couples? I was looking forward to getting more about them and was given none. *sigh*...more

For note, the previous translator stops at chapter 59. A new translator had taken over but, decided to start from chapter 1. I couldn't wait and so decided to MTL. It was easy enough to follow.
The only thing I disliked about the novel was that it ended. I did not mind reading about their mundane activities such as cooking because both main characters were sweet as honey.
The plot was mostly slice of life, well written by the writer. What I love about it is that there was no psychological barrier between Shen Yanbei, MC, and Gu Changfeng, ML. Yanbei transmigrated and easily adapted to his new life. He accepted that Changfeng was his male wife and vowed to uphold the name of the host's family. Changfeng who lost his memory was also not restricted to accepting that he was married. So, there was no restriction on intimacy. Yanbei, originating from the future, was not shy in describing his feelings. Changfeng also blossomed under Yanbei's guidance.
As the story progressed, Changfeng regained his memory and identity. The story followed a six-ranking upper and lower officialdom system. For example, Yanbei was a 4th lower-rank civil minister and wasn't eligible to attend court. While Changfeng was a 3rd upper-rank military minister who could attend court. This did not dishearten Yanbei. He took it with stride to work even harder. He did not aim for a 3rd upper rank. For him, a 4th upper rank was enough as long as he got to see his wife in court. Please excuse the ranking because it was confusing on my part and I'm just guessing most of it....more

The main story was 75 chapters while the extras were 3 chapters. The story ended on a happy note. The translator did a great job even though there were some names misplaced. Do take note that most translations end at the main story. https://knoxt.space/ had the extras for part 1 and 3 only. It was missing part 2. It took almost 3 years for the translator team to finish but, it was worth the wait. I was torn between 4 or 5 stars and finally decided to stick with the former. The story could be expanded but, the writer decided to focus on the main plot and ignore the supporting characters. I guess it was enough though. I mean too much of everything will lack the essence of it.
Lu Ji and Zhou Chenxi complemented one another. The former was always on the go while the latter needed some encouragement to even move. Zhou Mingxuan as the elder brother was also the best feature in the book. He was the sort of brother who if you do not want to move, then I'll carry you. He took the most hits when Lu Ji and Zhou Chenxi decided to be together. And Lu Ji was graceful about it knowing that Zhou Mingxuan loved Zhou Chenxi unconditionally.
I read a similar plot with a villain IQ digressed with every rebirth. It means that the villain becomes more stupid and deviates from his devious self. Kind of like the villain in this book. He got his just dessert though. If you read a lot of similar plots, then you'll be okay. The writer explained rebirth, transmigration, world book, real-world, and such and it could be covulated to some. But, it was entertaining because Lu Ji did the explaining and I love Lu Ji....more
