Mu Mu transmigrated in the novel that had the plot like a fraud marriage with a man dressed in women’s clothing, rich man regretting and taking revenge after rebirth.
The body he had transmigrated into was none other than that of a scumbag who was a fraud man dressed in women’s clothing. He was also the one that the protagonist took revenge against.
And now, he was standing at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau with that damn protagonist, holding the newly-released marriage certificate in his hand.
Mu Mu agitatedly raised his head. He saw the fierce and sinister expression on that damn protagonist. He was twitching the corners of his mouth, showing a grim smirk of wishing to eat his blood and flesh.
Mu Mu’s legs were weak and his eyes turned dark. He was trembling: “My good brother, why don’t we get a divorce?”

After finally mtl'ing everything, I can finally leave a review
Overall, the novel is very nice with its comedic tones. A cute novel to forget about drama, and just enjoy a light read.
However there's 3 things that kinda bugged me. First is something that many authors seem to think it's funny, which is why they use this trope when they are writing a comedy, or just want to try to be funny: ML being pushy about s*x.
Spoiler
There was even a scene where MC locked himself in his room cos he didn't want ML to jump him. ML promised to not do anything. As soon as MC opens the door he gets jumped and ML has his way with him...
Author, just how is this funny? Sigh...
Second is that, to me it just feels that the author didn't really write this as BL? If I were to genderbend MC there would be absolutely no change in this novel. If this was adapted to a drama, it could easily be changed to a light comedy of a straight couple. The fact that MC never got to cut his hair also strikes me that the author maybe had trouble actually visualizing MC as male...
This is just my opinion, and I could be completely wrong. But this is really how I felt reading this novel. MC was just a regular female protagonist but changed to male for the BL tag.
The third point is just a small matter, but I really wanted extras for this novel! Lol

Have I come late? Or ya'll just read the raws? WHERE CAN YOU READ IT AHH??? I SAW SOME COMPLETE OR 80 CHPS UP DANGGIT-
Anyways, from the scarce content I have, it's super good! Like I'm always interested on what will happen next ahh. Things haven't unravel between the MC and ML but the drama and tension ML gives MC unknowingly is so funny HAHAHHA. Aish the plot is so interesting! For now, I'll just wait for updates like a forgotten sweetheart at the countryside :')

It's quite a simple and enjoyable novel to read, and I would rate it 4.5/5.
The ML in this novel is so sweet. Although he is what you would consider blackened, he softened quite easily and it is obvious that he just yearns for companionship. I love that he is not a cold and distant type. Although he is kind of like that in the beginning, he shows his true colours later lol.
I also like the MC as well and he is very cute and self sufficient due to his past. Both the MC and ML are both lonely people and their past circumstances make them a great fit for one another.
There are a lot of supporting characters in this one and it's a good thing I like all of them. Although some are rather quirky and unrealistic, they are all still entertaining. Each have a distinct personality which makes it easy to love them.
Now for what I didn't like.
Unfortunately MC does fall into the dense type that I find does get annoying at times. I also find his constant request for a divorce quite tiresome, and hurtful
Spoiler
For example, he constantly asks for a divorce but wonders by the ML is upset every time. When he finally considers that maybe the ML might hold feelings for him or the original MC, he just goes back and asks for divorce again, which goes on for a while. I feel that while the ML is trying to build/mend their relationship, the MC is trying to break it.
In regards to the original MC, there is a part of me that just feels really sorry for him. This is to not say that he was not somewhat of a bad person. Maybe it's because I had been reading 'seize the throne' at the same time as this novel, I feel that everyone coming around the MC, loving him while we don't know where the original has gone, leaves a slight bitter taste.
Spoiler
As the original found out that he was not the legitimate son, he targeted the ML (legitimate son) for revenge, which was definitely irredeemable. However I think there were definitely catalysts to his actions. His parents were the disinterested type and did not care properly for the original MC, which may have gave him the idea that he was not loved in the family. This might have caused him to act rebelliously and constantly run away from home. He feared that he would be discarded once his parents and brother found out he was not their real son.
However though the eyes of the MC, we find that the family does not abandon the MC once the ML arrives and that the parents and especially his brother do in fact love him.
It's just a pity the original is not there to see it. I hope that the ogMC can reunite one day with his brother who knows he's gone and actually misses him and not the MC.
Overall, this novel was very sweet and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I feel it's a perfect length and how the novel is from start (how their relationship was initially), and to how it finished was very satisfying. I'm looking forward to the extras which I haven't read yet.

MTLd the whole story after reading the first 10 translated chapters.
It was SO SO good. The emotional line is satisfying, the plot line has no unnecessary drama, the main characters are both lovable even though they're not perfect & the supporting characters are more than cookie-cutter Friend A and Friend B.
10/10 will probably read it again at some point

I was planning on giving this story 5 stars up until the moment they got together, and I really rarely give 5 stars, so that means quite a lot.
The story is so fluffy, no drama, no angst, some misunderstandings at first but it makes sense how they're careful and wary of letting the other now of their backgrounds/circumstances.
All in all, it's a really nice read.
Spoiler
But, the reason why I removed 1 star was as was mentioned in one of the other reviews, the ML being 'forceful' about having you know what. It's not because I don't like that in the story, which I don't but it wouldn’t normally influence my rating, but rather the fact that it was completely inconsistent with the ml's character. Even though he was sometimes mischievous and calculating, that was only in the beginning to figure out whether the MC is real Mu Mu or not. But after finding out it wasn't the original Mu Mu, he was rescpectful, sometimes poking fun at MC yes, but otherwise you could see his affection for the MC.
So yeah, that kind of ruined my perfect impression of the otherwise great story.
This is something you should definitely read when you're tired and emotionally exhausted from all the angsty stories you've read.
I definitely recommend to read it.

Hmm this novel is quite entertaining, I look forward to how the MC would capture a reborn ML. And this is the first novel where I actually enjoyed reading about a male cross-dresser. His experience was funny and realistic. I also liked the side characters that has appeared so far.
I haven't form my opinion on ML yet, but he seemed willing to wait and see what MC was selling in his gourd so it looked like he wouldn't be that cray cray? Let's wait and see.
Another thing to note of is the translation quality, it's quite good but I can't say the same thing about the editing... here are several examples (I didn't change anything, mind you)
Spoiler
from ch 8.2
He He there's nothing wrong in being a little naughty, right???! Hey, shorty, I'm a little naughty, Come on now call me hottie!!! He he
Spoiler
from ch. 9.2
Mu Mu was struck by lightning: "LiKeD....... ME....... vErY...... MUch... " Mumu spoke as if he was having difficulties while pooping.
And let's not mention the ugly af meme 🙈 Coincidentally, I was reading this on mobile at night with the lighting off, so I was both jump-scared and disturbed by the ugly 'classical' face meme while scrolling the chapter.
Admit it, Chinese meme are ugly af.
PS: how tf does a novel has both 'straight uke' and 'bis*xual protagonist' tags if that uke was the protagonist?

It's cute story. The story is described in a funny and simple side, even though the incident is actually sad. I like the coward and naive MC, the naughty and flirty blackened ML, and other side Charachter like the big brother and friends.

very cute story! no dogblood drama and ML is pretty level-headed despite the betrayal in his past life. MC is so adorable ditzy and works really hard (even though it doesn't really work out the way he wants to) xD this was a really enjoyable and easy read
my favourite character is probably big bro Mu Ze _ (:3" /_) _ he's such a sweet but cold cinnamon roll who cares for his lil bro a lot Spoiler
I felt so bad when he found out that MC is not ogMC. The scene where he pulled out a pack of cigarettes that he kept in his study for when ogMC wanted to smoke... then he lit up a cigarette for the ogMC who's no longer there.... sobs
and he's got funny habits
Spoiler
OCD-level schedules and timing and grinding coffee beans when he's angry (so cute lol)
an expensive but not unhealthy way of expressing your emotions!
