This was.. something else, in every bad sense possible.
I really couldn't handle this one. The funny thing is, this novel is so much like a melodramatic TV series that is so full of routines, that it makes you cringe so hard. The Mary Su heroine, the Gary Stew hero.
I was a bit disgusted. Surprisingly, I really was.
The thing is, this type of TV series with these type of characters and situations might have graced itself on any TV station in any country by now.
The settings are as follows.
Yu Xiaomin crossed the book, she's now a cannon fodder girl, but she's a real daughter of a slightly wealthy family. She was dropped at birth, when she returned she didn't meet with loving parents, but people who thought she's not up to standard, but also could be used. Original Yu Xiaomin fell in love with a man named Chu Haotin, she was really dedicated, but never got a response, since she wasn't a big catch. In the original course of action she should have had a one-night stand with Chu, then became pregnant, but it wouldn't have moived Mr.Chu at all, instead she would fall into madness and would abuse her son. This son is the one who would be reborn in the story. Unlike original course of action, Yu Xiaomin who arrived stumbled into the wrong room, but the one inside was a man named Fu Yanchen with whom she had a wild night.
Waking up she realized that the night wasn't a dream, but reality. Especially, since she had unprotected sex. She realized where she was and who she was, bought pills and brought her things to leave this place. One thing she didn't want is to be entangled by the Yu family.
But despite the pills and the constitution that is hard to conceive she became pregnant and her ball is the one who was reborn. Knowing that it might be her only child, Yu Xiaomin decided to be responsible and keep the child. She left to another place where nobody knew her and spent her time. Returning to her old profession that would help her earn money and would not tire herself - writing. She became a small author and gained her small popularity little by little. After the child was born, the little Yu Qian realized that his mother acted way different from the previous insane mother. She, him and sister Zhang who took care of her were spending time together before she was invited to an award ceremony. You can guess that she met the man with whom she had a one-night stand, the fate was inevitable~ You can sprinkle this shit with all types of descriptions of beating hearts, cherry lips and clear eyes. Everything has a feeling like I'm reading a fucking melodrama script.
Her and the kid actually saw Mr. Chu again, little Yu Qian was afraid that his mother would go crazy for him, but she did not to his surprise and glee. Btw there was a situation where Chu thought Yu Qian was his son.. like why? There was no mentioning of their relationship, but whatever. Anyway, he went mad and took the boy to have a parenting test. You can imagine the melodramatic plot of - oh, where's my son?! what am I gonna do? etc.
Anyway, her relationship with Fu Yanchen and fateful encounters led to them getting closer together, but here we have this melodramatic point where this Xiaomin was actually from a very poor background, she was very prejudiced towards wealthy families, so she judged Mr.Fu along with others. Later, of course she changed her mind, since Fu family was more laid back.
You can guess that Mr.Fu realized the identity of Yu Qian. And it wasn't long before he recognized him. He also fell in love with Yu Xiaomin, of course. With his actions she also fell in love with him in return (at least it didn't happen right away, but the entire mutual affection you can imagine).
I cringed so hard at her reactions how she was described to be shy or having a heartbeat or feeling insecure, so shoujo that it's overbearing. But when he acted like a teen when she agreed to him, being all smiley and happy. I tell you, like a TV series. So much like a TV series. And I cringe at such things, I'm sorry. This novel has quite high ranking on Jinjiang, but to me it is nothing more than a very cliche Cinderella story.
Here and there they also met with other "villains"/cannon fodders. Like the adopted daughter of Yu family, who actually had dreams about future and she knew who will be the wealthiest and that's why she set her sister up. She also tried to act against her. It's funny how she got caught. It's also funny how her prosecution went really fast, usually such things take time before getting sentenced.
Also Mr.Chu came along as the biggest and maddest villain. In this timeline he fell for Yu Xiaomin, the only honest woman who loved him dearly. As a result he was a bit stalky, yet he also hated Fu Yanchen and acted against him here and there, so routine setting up, you can imagine it all. I laughed so hard when near the end Chu escaped and kidnapped Xiaomin, he also shot a hacker who helped him (like shooting was really sudden and very villain-esque), so they have the hero and antagonist face off too lol.
THE CRINGE. The biggest question of mine was about little Yu Qian, later recognized and renamed to Fu Yu. He learned hacking in his previous life, so he brought his skills into this life, he's super intelligent in this regard, though tbh he is still too small to comprehend other things he's hacking into tbh. Anyway, there are scenes even with small Yu Qian hacking, like he wasn't very old. Yes, inside lived an 8 year old kid, but his movement. he also helped his mom and dad when he was around 3 and a half. Like honestly, this was something else. He also liked that his new dad was actually the one who taught him skills in previous life.
Another very cringe moment. The crumbling of Fu Yanchen's perfect image in the story, at least for me. Although Xiaomin wasn't the best in that situation too. It involves Xiaomin's second pregnancy almost at the end of the story. She felt sick during the wedding and remembered that her menstruation is late and her reaction was like morning sickness, she asked for the test stick and yes, she indeed was pregnant, but the perfect Gary Stu Fu Yanchen was ecstatic at first, but then said - pregnant wife isn't good at all. Because boohoo him, his honemoon and "eating meat" is now delayed. His wife is pregnant and he thinks how he won't get sex for months, how perfect is that image folks? He was a bit rehabilitated when he witnessed how sick Xiaomin became and how she withered a bit because of pregnancy. But still this episode left me with a bad taste. Most of it also was spoiled since Xiaomin had similar thoughts.
Oh yeah, last cringe moment is when sex is described as a boat at sea. Like all those waves that hit the boat and such. I'd rather they don't write anything at all, it's also cringe.
This is it folks. Nothing stimulating, very TV drama scripty. The girl escapes, gives birth, starts writing, returns, meets ML, they fall in love, the son is recognized, the grandma is happy and loves her children, the defeat some villains, end of story.
RATE: 1/5. It has pretty hight ranking and rates, but to me this was like a old-fashioned, outdated, romantic TV show, which I'd rather skip.
