Synopsis: Li Qing wore a plot, in which he is supposed to be a cannon fodder, the protagonist of this world is Li Zexi who appears on LQ's 23rd b-day and from this point the tragic downfall of the previous wrongly held young master of the Li family started, his tragic end was in a fire, which actually was man-made. Li Qing who wore it 6 months before the events was accumulating reputation and personal assets and on the day he decided to leave he was stopped by 4 people, all Alpha and all claimed to know Li Qing in the past, one of them is his nominal brother, brought up man by the Li family.

I created a spoiler thread on NU, so I'm here to share a short review on several things.

I personally liked the Moebius strip type of plot with the reverse and loop. I think this is the best appeal of it, while not even the summary on jjwxc shared at least a glimpse of it. It all sounds really cliche and not really outstading, if I haven't finished reading I would have found out what a twist it brought.

Shortly about the plot.

LQ wears prior to events, so he had time to deal with lots of stuff, but parents found he wanted to leave and their affection made him stay. LZ happened to be a fake green tea and also had really hardcore hostility towards LQ right away, he wanted to deal with him time and time again. But not only LQ escaped and was clean, but also found that Alphas that according to the plot supposed to be swoon by the protagonist were all disgusted with LZ time and time again.

During this time he found from 3 Alphas that they were close friends before, but LQ couldn't remember it, this was not in original host's memory, also plot never mentioned it, but although he was catious about them, he still listened to them and still was to help if he saw he was needed.

But the time nodes that supposed to happen still happened, it's just the conclusion to those was different. That's why the fateful fire still came and our ML, Li Huaishen (the nominal brother) came to save LQ. During this time many things happened and their love bloomed. They're nto blood-related btw. Though they both have same Li, but it's different Li. Li belongs to a Li consortium that is based even in different country, he was abandoned as a child due to his parents drama, so he was brought up by Li parents, and Madam Li is his mother's friend.

But this is where things starts to get interesting. 

The world reversed, he turned to 3 years before events. LQ was only 20, no one, inluding Huaishen knew him well. So he chased after Huaishen, since he sincerely loved the man.

But what is funny that LQ encountered things and events he heard from 3 Alphas in his previous world and he used that info to solve currentproblems, which created a cool loop.

He also found out that LZ not only the fake that was sent, but he started to search for LZ's info and who was behind it. Which happened to be a brother of LQ's adoptive father (LQ's uncle). Who conspired to get LQ out and occupy the Li family with his illegitimate son.

The things that changed was that LQ got into an accident and he was pulled out from the body and host returned to original host, which changed the story trajectory for the worst and everything happened like in the plot described. The only person who never fell for LZ was Huaishen, he was still waiting for LQ to return.

Things progressed to the same scene of fire, at this time his system announced worlds to be integrated, LQ was sent back and in the fire he called Huaishen asking him to wait for him, same phrase that Huaishen said to him in their first fire.

All time nods were connected and LQ was sent to continue the first world. After the fire he and Huaishen were sent to hospital. The ending was of course predictable, bad guys caught and prosecuted. And Li Qing with Huaishen had their own happy ending.

Borrowing author's words, the first world is where LQ is the protagonist and the second is where LZ is. LQ came through both worlds to uncover the truth that in the first world he did all those things and he actually experienced them in the second world, which created a loop, but the car accident which left LQ with memory loss is a turning point. LQ travelled both worlds to uncover the truth and found the love between him and Huaishen.

I omit a ton of sub-characters and sub-plots. This also has enough face-slapping and though they're cliche, but it's still a fun read that is quite enjoyable. At least I spent several sleepless nights because of it ahahaha.

RATE: 5/5
