Synopsis:

The people who know Jiang Zhe all say that he is handsome and elegant, with impeccable character. Only the system knows, that this man is a scum; a beast in human clothing.

THIS was my first male MC non-BL quick transmigration, I didn't like it that much so I went back to FL and BL world hopping. Re-read it last weekend.

Impressions: Our MC makes a deal with the System to go world hopping in exchange of saving his gf's life.

Arc 1 - The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (Chapter 1-20) - Our MC transmigrates into a Young Master. It's not the ancient times, I guess this was during the transition period when China was starting to get westernized. Anyways, the FL is the OG's legal wife, the OG doesn't like her but FL is hopelessly inlove with him. MC comes in and continues the cold treatment until the System slips up and says that FL is MC's girlfriend in real life.

Arc 2 - The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (Chapter 21-28) - MC becomes an educated youth in the countryside. OG tried to escape and got caught back so he resented the Village Head and seduces FL, the Village Head's daughter. After the college entrance exam resumed, he abandons his wife. MC comes in and brings his wife along with him to the City.

Arc 3 - The Tyrant CEO's Small Delicate Wife (Chapter 29-37) - CEO OG chooses a social climber over his childhood sweetheart FL. MC comes in and breaks up with the golddigger and starts to pursue FL.

Arc 4 - The Single-Minded Boyfriend (Chapter 38-44) - OG has central conditioning and has many female friends, dragged down FL with many years of ON and OFF relationship. MC comes in and distances himself from his female friends and becomes loyal to FL.

Arc 5 - Crazy Dog Becomes a Loyal Hound (Chapter 45-49) - OG is an arrogant bastard. Because his family helped FL's family pay off their debt before they got married, he thinks of FL as his wife 'who was bought with money' and never respected her. MC comes in and in order to have a reason to "change" his personality, he purposely got into an accident, and ended up crippled, FL continues to support him and now, its okay to fall inlove.

Last Chapter - FL wakes up from coma, becomes a little depressed when she thinks of her 'dreams', MC tells her that it's all true and apologized for his hypocrisy before. The two get back together.

Hmm... how to say, I didn't really like our MC or the plot that much (sorry!) cos it always seems to be a "Save-the-girl" mission. The heroine's personality is not really that...memorable to me. All of them seems to blur together, if anything, their most memorable part is that they are so humble in front of MC, even the main heroine, when she woke up in the real world, she's all "Sure enough, it's all just a dream, how can our super handsome perfect male god MC fall inlove with pitiful little me???" and it's SO HUMBLE, it's really not my cup of tea. I didn't touch male MC worldhopping again until Everyone Knows I'm A Good Man.

It's not bad per se, and you can say it's even sweet/romantic, the MC and heroine's personality just didn't click with me :D Read this for BG world hopping.
