Synopsis:

The reborn Chi Feiran swiftly ran to the entertainment world to protect his life. After working one time with Rong Jin, a famous actor, the shipping between them erupted.

“You guys, look at Ranran! He’d never smiled so sweetly as he sang before!”

Chi Feiran was dumbstruck, his last mini album was a compilation of sad depressed love songs! It’s all broken-hearted songs with being dumped, being cheated on, being a spare tire, is he supposed to smile when he’s being kept as a spare?! Does that make any sense?!

Rong Jin: “……”
So he actually likes me……

It’s the first time actor Rong had a gay scandal since he debuted many years ago. The shipping between them became very hyped up. Every day, Chi Feiran saw himself… If not being paid for, he’s being cared for. So many scandals that it’ll need to be put in cargo when shipped out.

Until the day when the big internet users exposed who his biological and step-father were……

The silence is the most terrifying.

Netizen A lamented, “If he couldn’t make it big he has to go home and succeed the business as a president, so pitiful…”
Netizen B sobbed, “What’s more pitiful is… He might have to inherit two businesses at once.”

Pampered rich young master Shou X Film Emperor Gong who’s outwardly a noble flower but inwardly a narcissistic internet addict with a tendency to over-fantasise. Easy read! Good-feeling plots! Sweet story!

Impression: The synopsis did not lie, its really an easy read, good feeling plot, sweet story~~

MC is rebirth. On his graduation day in the past life, he drove the car his brother gifted him, then during their phone call to each other the car suddenly exploded and he died. After rebirth, MC is scared and runs over to China saying he wants to enter the entertainment circle and doesn't want to inherit the family business.

Some background: MC Mom and Dad divorced. MC Mom went abroad with MC and met MC Stepdad. MC Stepdad already has an adopted son which became MC's brother. The thing that MC cherishes the most is his family, so he was scared that his big brother really wanted to kill him for family property. He escapes to China and meets with his Dad whom he never met in his past life. MC Dad is eager to rebuild his relationship with MC so when MC says he wants to be a singer, he gave him the best agent, best resources etc.

ML is an actor under MC Dad's company. In the past life, MC liked his song very much and in this life, he almost took ML's song, that's why he felt especially guilty when facing ML. ML thinks he's feeling shy, laters, they worked on the same movie and their CP fired. ML believes it cos of MC's reaction at that time XD XD XD and feels guilty cos MC is still so young (17!) so he subtly 'rejects' him, MC is confused and just thought that his idol seems to be against early love and agrees. Laters, ML find out that he misunderstood and MC only sees him as a brother, but the problem is he is inlove with MC now! In the end, he decided to hold himself back, MC is so good, why drag him to a difficult road? In fact, being able to stay next to him as an idol is already good :((( Really admire ML's consideration here.

Back to the family, this is one of my fave things on the novel. MC still decides to trust his big brother and confessed his rebirth to him. Whether it is MC Dad, Mom or Stepdad, MC is really really loved. Same goes for Big Brother. He is sooo angrryyy!!!! and looks for the culprit right away. He finds a suspect. In MC's 18th bday, Big Brother gave him a car (instead of as a graduation present) and asked him to drive. Really kudos to MC's guts cos same method of death... what if he dies again? But he still chooses to trust Big Bro. Laters, the car didn't explode and the culprit called Big Brother and told him all about his EVIL plan, thinking he suceeded. Meanwhile, MC is safe, just scared. ML earlier saw that MC's state was wrong so he followed him. When he sees him so scared, he immediately comforts him. MC realizes at this moment that he likes ML.

Laters, he came out of the closet to his family. Stepdad, Mom and Big Bro are okay with it but MC Dad didn't take it well. MC is actually willing to compromise, just saying that he would never get married cos he doesn't want to deceive anyone. This really shows that Family is the most important to MC. He feels that they have more weight than a secret love that might not even be fulfilled. Laters, MC Mom persuaded Dad that MC's happiness should be the most important thing. Don't let him grieve himself just for them. MC Dad agrees. They all identify ML as MC's secret crush and went to meet him, planning to support MC's love!!! XD ML also plans to chase MC (he can't hold back) so he tries to leave a good impression. Big Bro is ready to check ML's health certificate, his internet browsing  history etc. Lol. Stepdad stops him on time. He noticed that ML also seems interested to MC so they should let the two get together naturally. Btw, brother revenges on the culprit. (Big Bro is very cool! very vengeful!)

Anyways, aside from the culprit of MC's death, there is no other 'villain' character here. The next is MC development on the entertainment circle, the 'villain' until the end of the novel are just the sunspots, black fans, fans of other artist etc who all has conspiracy theories  hates MC, hates MC & ML CP etc. Laters, MC's identity is revealed and everyone was shocked with his wealthiness!!! When they began to blacken ML, ML's background was revealed. ML is from a family of scholars since ancient times. All well-known scientists, intellectual etc. Anyway, its all MC & ML entertainment circle development plus their sweet loveydovey couple life. Laters, after 10 years, MC finally reached ML's level so he confessed to ML during the award ceremony. ML is also prepared, he proposed marriage.

Extras is MC & ML Confession during the award ceremony then their Wedding. And last one is the past life after MC died :((( Big Bro blamed himself. Their family fell apart. Big Bro also coincidentally meets ML and felt at ease talking to a stranger. ML fell for MC based on the memories but of course, MC is gone.

Except for the last extra, this is mostly lighthearted~~ Glad that there was no family intrigues/dogblood ^_^
