Synopsis:

Cheng Mingyi was a little lonely throughout his life.

He only brought trouble for the brother who he grew up with and who always had his back. Through fate, due to an accident he became a second generation rich heir, Tan Feiyang. He thought, this time he could repay his Fifth brother.

Jian Ningzhe, became a first class actor with third rated reputation. One day, the infamous Tan Feiyang gave him an olive branch...

Jian Ningzhe refused to accept the hidden meaning behind it. Tan Feiyang "...Did he just ignore my present for him?"

Impressions: I was reading modern world non-stop, so decided to look for ancient times novel. I looked under 'poor to rich' tags and found this. Still modern world. Lol.

So our MC is a poor orphan, very very pitiful until he got 'adopted' by ML. ML brought him to his home, always helped him, teached him how to be an a good person etc. etc. Think of a perfect big brother, that's our ML for MC. So MC also wanted to be of help to ML and then MC died in an accident....and got reborn.

MC got reborn 5 years later. The original was a rich Young Master. Upon waking up, MC immediately looked for ML! He must be famous now! (ML entered the entertainment circle when MC was still alive) but then he found out that ML is still an unknown little actor and being bullied/suppressed, so he must help ML!!! Using his Young Master identity he wanted to help ML become more famous, but the original was famous for 'sponsoring' little actresses before so everyone thought (including ML) that he wants to be ML's golden lord. XD XD XD ML rejects him and MC thought that they could start by being friends. He also enters the entertainment circle.

Laters, MC & ML did become friends (at least MC thought so) but ML misunderstands that he is still pursuing him and finally sleeps with him. The day after, MC explains that he REALLY REALLY just wanted to help ML become famous cos he recognized his acting skills (and NOT be his gold lord) and they break up peacefully. MC also understood that he liked ML so he didn't want ML to be with him cos he was forced. Laters, ML pursues MC and they get together. 

About ML, he used to be inlove with MC (before MC died) but he never told him. ML is actually the illegitimate son of a rich man and his half-brothers didn't want him to have a good life so they hired someone to kill MC to hurt ML. Now, after MC & ML get together, his brothers plotted against ML again and MC had an accident and almost died!! So ML broke up with MC, saying that he is inlove with past MC and can't forget about him and he was just using our present MC cos of his Young Master status. Then MC breaks the pot and confesses that he is past MC! He told ML their past memories etc and explains his rebirth. ML is happy, but MC's DOTING BIG BRO is opposed to this relationship!!! cos MC almost died cos of ML Family grudges so they separate and ML promises to solve his problems first.

Meanwhile, MC adopts a little bun as his son cos he found out that this body has fertility problems so we our exposed to some family life~ Afterwards, MC & ML get together again and slowly gets big bro's approval. ^_^ Extras is MC & ML family life with their adopted son and daughter.

Our MC is a little sheep, he is very straightforward and simple-minded. After rebirth, he mentioned his past self to ML and ML only told him that he was a 'troublesome' friend. He felt bad at first cos he didn't think that his perfect Big Brother only thought of him as trouble before, but laters, he still decided to help ML. Even if ML thought of him like that, but it didn't change the fact that he helped him/was good to him etc. so he decided to be friends with ML again using his current identity. Even laters, when he found out that ML isn't as kind/gentle as he often shows to other people, he still accepts it cos ML is his person.

ML certainly isn't as kind/gentle/perfect as MC originally thought. He is actually very dark/twisted. Even his original motive for adopting/helping MC is not pure, but he is defeated by MC's sincerity. Big Bro is also opposed to their relationship because of this, he can see that ML is a very deep-minded and sinister person and his little sheep little bro would be eaten alive by him XD XD XD ML even doubts his love for MC sometimes, he feels like maybe he isn't capable of love. Maybe he was just obsessed with past MC and maybe he is just nostalgic about past MC, that's why he is together with present MC now. But our MC and their little buns always refute this and tells ML that he isn't as bad as he thinks and his means might be sinister but he does it in in self-defense and in order to protect their family so there's nothing wrong with that. I feel like its really good that ML has MC (and the little buns)

The plot is predictable enough, but ML's character added to it for me (with him being twisted like that)  especially when MC thought about ML's happiness, its not just being Film Emperor or revenging on his family then happily ever after, ML is still like that aftwerwards but MC is slowly 'healing' him with his love. Rest assured there's not much angst/drama but more funny/fluffy moments throughout the whole novel ^_^

Read this if you like cute MC, doting big brother, not perfect ML and entertainment circle.
