★★★★★ [4.5/5 stars]

I absolutely loved this so much! This is my second rebirth novel and this doesn't disappoint me. I actually expected a lot of angst because I experienced it in my first rebirth novel, and though the angst here is not major, there were few times that I felt my heart ached. But overall, this novel is fluffy and sweet.

Bai Lang (MC), after getting betrayed by his friends, family and lover in his past life and was pushed to his last breath, he was then given a chance to start over again 10 years prior to his death. His relationship with Qiu Qian (ML) in his past life was actually not that good. He was constantly offered to be the latter's kept lover whenever he needed money for his family's debt and because of the feeling of being repressed and cornered by Qiu Qian, he didn't really have a good thought of him. But after his death, he only realized that when no one was there when he died, Qiu Qian was the only person who mourned for him. Their relationship in his second life also didn't start in a positive light, but what I love is how their feelings progressed from there, from being a 'paid lover' to being a real one.

Qiu Qian is a possessive partner but he NEVER forced Bai Lang into doing things he never wanted. They have a great communication in their relationship. At first, because of the idea of his rebirth and what happened in his past life, Bai Lang always kept his feelings to himself, but Qiu Qian is a straightforward guy. Though he's not eloquent enough in saying his feelings, he can still be blunt and sincere about it. So gradually, they established a very healthy communication in their relationship. They talked with each other and discussed things like an adult. There's no unnecessary misunderstanding and drama between them. They sincerely trust each other. They have a very sweet and fluffy relationship and I'm all for it! And Qiu Qian is a very supportive lover. When Bai Lang wanted to do something, he wouldn't stop him, instead he would stand by his side and support him. He would only interfer if it might affect Bai Lang's health, but most of the time, he's very encouraging. I really love their relationship so much!!

Also, introducing Qiu Qian's son, Xiaohai, was one of the best things that happened in this novel. He's an adorable, sweet little cinnamon roll that everyone would definitely adore!! He is the sunshine of both Qiu Qian and Bai Lang and he completed the harmonious family of three. I also find it so heart melting whenever he clings himself to his Ah Bai. His cuteness would make one wants to adopt him!!

Aside from the fluffiness of the family of three, there would also be a lot of face-slapping moments that would really satisfy everyone. And also, don't forget to read the extra chapters as well. We've got to see a short time-skip of the kids Xiaohai and Rong Zan in their teenager year and it's absolutely lovely!! Everyone should read this!! I highly recommend this novel to literally everyone!!
