Summary: Zheng Shu transmigrated into a novel where he was nothing else, but a cannon fodder. Young master who is actually the richest second generation was fooled by his "lover", divorced for him and with the help of "caring" relatives the entire Zheng family business quickly declined. Because this cannon fodder also oppressed main protag shou, protag gong sent his company to bankruptcy and there was nothing left for the former richest young master in the end. Zheng Shu had a car accident and traveled into this world on the fateful day of signing the divorce papers, looking at capable and handsome nominal husband he said "Stop! I can still redeem myself!".
What I liked the most right off the bat, there is not obvious underline that original Zheng Shu basically fell victim to other people's schemes and what is devastating, people who could have helped him didn't do due deligence. This includes our ML and it also includes the original housekeeper.
The family connection of the novel are also intricate.
So the novel starts from the divorce scene. Some ask - why he didn't divorce then? First of all it's not that easy, he himself has no business acumen, so it is easy for the ML, Yu Sinian, to come forward, he was the one who brought the company to its' heights. Divorce that involves power division isn't that easy, it can easily break such a big company into fractions. And even if Zheng Shu wanted to liquidate his assets it's also not that easy. Original Zheng Shu grew up without mother, who died when he was young or father, who was constantly busy. It is easy for a young mind that did not build defense mechanism against scheming to be swayed, this happened with the "lover" who found original Zheng Shu, Lin Xi. He used Zheng Shu for profit and there wasn't much left for feelings, while original Zheng Shu treated his lover really well tbh. Yu Sinian did a big mistake that he forgot that he married Zheng Shu at 19 when he was still so young and not understanding the battles at the shopping mall. There is also housekeeper Uncle Qin whose fault isn't less, as a family figure he should have guided the young master towards enlightment, but instead it felt like he indulged original Zheng Shu, so he would be happy (this includes actually supporting his affair with a lover = extramarital affair). Uncle Qin isn't a bad guy, he had no bad motive, but he is too bad at educating. Thus the result lies in everyone. And this is what I applaude that original might have existed as a fool in others' eyes, but he wasn't described as such.
Zheng Shu is also a rich second-generation. But he wasn't as absurd, but he could act domineering when needed. Because he knew what he was worth he decided to leave things and save this marriage. In this case he completely cut off previous indulgement, was always on call, was attentive and mostly he was openly chasing Yu Sinian. Although at times he felt shy, but in the end he knew how to be proactive and was like a little beaming sunshine against the coldness of Yu Sinian as an ice block.
Zheng Shu took great care of Yu Sinian, if things happened he always informed what was happening and why, he also returned home early even if Yu Sinian was on a business trip. All in all he was keeping his word. he showed his sincerety in transferring what he had to Yu Sinian, which helped in start-up capital for his new company.
He returned assets he spent on Lin Xi, which uncovered the truth behind Lin Xi's relationship and Zheng Shu's cousin. In the end he actually picked up the entertainment company that was originally opened for Lin Xi and started it as his career. Because he had nothing else but money, so he spent it on scripts he checked and people who went through trials and training.
Slowly feelings between Zheng Shu and Yu Sinian started to change and Yu Sinian did not stay completely untouched by Zheng Shu's care. Although at first of course he went through thinking a lot about their relationship. After all he knew only original Zheng Shu and did not want to be one in the fish pond and eventually be forgotten, he treated feelings seriously and only Zheng Shu with his openness subverted his opinion (and mine too), because he did not give up on this relationship and thought they can be happy together. Initially he didn't think about great love, but it became great later.
Their combination is quite cute, when together Zheng Shu tries to act like a cutie, although can be demanding pepper to let the relationship progress, but outside some people forget that he is still a domineering young master and can kick asses. So he also jumps around cutely when he wants to protect Yu Sinian and leave him as this untouched flower on a high mountain who does not need to deal with things unworthy of him. Yu Sinian on the contrary isn't only a block of ice, he uses business as punishment for those who dare to bully Zheng Shu, so he is also a scary person. Anyway I found their combo quite cute.
/~SPOILERS~/
The main storyline also involves Yu Sinian's origins and main protag gong. They are acually cousins, and come from the same family, Xie. Yu Sinian's mother was sent to marry a man she did not love, but also who was prone to domestic violence. Although Xie Zhang came from a prominent family, he was incompetents and used violence as means to vent, because Yu family had a younger brother who came to mediate. In the end when Yu Sinian was five they escaped from the hospital and met Zheng Shu's mother, who took them in and later sent them abroad with her husband. They considered this meeting fateful, since at that time Zheng Shu, the long-awaited child was conceived. They supported mother and son and eventually Mr. Zheng asked Yu Sinian to marry his son, because he knew what harm would bring his son leaving him alone against the gangster relatives. Thus Sinian married Zheng Shu out of gratitude for care, but nothing else. You can imagine that Zheng Shu who just lost his father did not want that.
The stories are also such a small world. Xie Chengfeng lost his parents in an accident, but he felt that this was man-made, but because the old man Xie was too face-saving the case was closed. He joined hands with Sinian in the small fight against other two sons of the old man, who actually were perpetrators in his parents' accident.
The story is even narrower world because original protag shou, his uncle was in a relationship with Yu Sinian's mother, but they were separated and had a deep misunderstanding about the day they wanted to elope.
RATE: 3,75/5. Light-hearted and lovely. Great combo and chemistry between MC and ML. It was quite funny, I left out many things that happened that deserve the read by yourself :)
