Synopsis:

The young single man, Xu Zhao, recently graduated from university and was ready to embark on a major task at his job when he was suddenly transmigrated to the eighties where there was no internet or tv. It would've been fine if he had no money, but he unexpectedly had a two-year-old son as well: one he birthed himself.

The son had nothing to wear.
The son had nothing to eat.
The son had no toys to play with.
The son still didn't have a "daddy."

How would the son live without him? Xu Zhao decided that he would raise the son.

One sentence summary: Reborn in the eighties to take the baby to enjoy in the pinnacle of life.

Impressions: Not really a fave, but its okay.

So our MC transmigrates into a same name guy in the 80s. OG is the youngest son in the family and the only one who got to highschool. However, he became mpreg from a drunken one night stand and had to drop out. When MC came, the son is already two years old.

MC was originally an orphan so he valued this son very much and also wanted to improve their family situation. He meets an old classmate of OG (who has a secret crush on him) and partners up to earn money. Then poor-to-rich/business management arc

He meets our ML early, he is the Uncle of his business partner. He also became attracted to MC and tried to like the narcissistic little bun XD More business management and ML's subtle chasing (MC is kinda dense) and they finally get together.

Then! #SPOILER the truth is revealed. OG's drunken one night stand was actually ML so he is the little bun's biological dad. ML was also deceived so all this time, he thought it was someone else who he had slept with, and has been paying 'compensation' to that person. Anyways, ML punished the guy but as a result, the guy went after MC and hit him with a brick. MC goes into a coma, which gave little bun and ML time to bond while taking care of MC. MC wakes up later, they get married, then pregnant then giving birth to another son. The End.

Hmm... its okay. I was surprised that gayness or mpreg doesn't really seem like a big deal. As far as the villagers are concerned, the issue lies more on the OG being pregnant out of wedlock.

I love the interaction between MC and lil bun. Lol. The little bun is such a glutton! XD He's cute, but also annoying XD XD On our MC and ML romance, its...slow and also, not that sweet...? MC is more focused on business management, ML is more like this...silently supportive Big Brother on the background. Initiative is also mostly from him. It kiiiinda feels like MC is just going with the flow...

What else? Surprised at the plot twist of #SPPOILLER MC-being-the-one-from-80s all along but it didn't really make much of a difference for me~ If anything, it feels like the OG took advantage of it. I mean, when MC was in modern times, he was an orphan while OG is a veritable highschool student in the 80s. And then when OG became a dropout with a child out of wedlock, MC replaces him while OG goes to modern times and gets found by his family, doting on him to 'make up' for all those years he was an orphan. Yeah, it's like all the bad things goes to MC so I feel a bit unfair for him. ಠ ೧ ಠ He is perfectly happy to stay at the 80s though since ML and lil bun is there.

Overall, read this for poor-to-rich in the 80s with MC and a little bun~
