Description
Tang Ziyou was reborn. In his previous life, he gave everything to his fiancé, actor Gu Jiuci, but he could not get the other party’s love. In this life, Tang Ziyou decided to let go. He took off the ring on his hand, moved out of Gu Jiuci’s house, returned to the entertainment industry, and proposed to dissolve the marriage contract. Gu Jiuci was born in a wealthy family, handsome, had countless suitors, but he was engaged to Tang Ziyou. A friend asked him: “How does it feel to be engaged?” Gu Jiuci’s thin lips lightly opened: “Annoying.” Knowing that Tang Ziyou wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, his friend raised his glass to congratulate him: “Now you aren’t annoyed.” Gu Jiuci’s face was as heavy as iron, not only irritable but also flustered. . . . Gu Jiuci: “We were engaged when we were young.” Tang Ziyou: “Outdated bad practices, you said, I understand.” Gu Jiuci: “I am your fiancé.” Tang Ziyou: “Fiancé does not equal husband, I know what you said.” Gu Jiuci: “I don’t agree to dissolve the marriage contract!” Tang Ziyou: “A marriage contract is just a marriage contract, and you don’t like it. I remember what you said.” Gu Jiuci: …how can I beat myself to death! . . . Gu Jiuci discovered that Tang Ziyou really didn’t care about him anymore. Not only did he not care about him, but he also became popular in the entertainment circle and was liked by more and more people. His brother: “You are not the only child in our family. Marrying me is also an option.” His friend: “Don’t harm Xiao You, I will treat him well, don’t worry.” Gu Jiuci was impatient: “Who said I don’t like him, stay away from my wife!” Tang Ziyou: “Don’t talk nonsense, we’re already separated.” Gu Jiuci: “Never separate, never separate! I will listen to you from now on, Xiao You, so don’t dissolve your marriage contract with me ok?” Tang Ziyou: “Heh.”

My Thoughts on After Rebirth, I Become Popular in the Entertainment Industry
This web novel, "After Rebirth, I Become Popular in the Entertainment Industry," certainly sparked some strong feelings in readers, and I can see why. It's a story of second chances, broken engagements, and a journey back to the spotlight, but it's a bumpy ride.
First Impressions
Going in, I was expecting a tale of triumphant return to showbiz. While the entertainment industry does feature, it's more of a backdrop to the central relationship drama between the MC and the ML. The title is a bit misleading in that respect; the focus is much more on their personal journey.
What Works Well
Despite some reservations, I found myself drawn into the emotional core of the story. The angst is definitely present, and the author does a decent job of exploring the perspectives of both the MC and the ML. I can appreciate the author's attempt to give depth to both characters, showing their flaws and vulnerabilities. The premise of a rebirth offering a chance to right past wrongs is always appealing, and this novel taps into that. Some readers highlighted the alternate endings as a major plus, particularly the one where the MC loses his memory, forcing the ML to work for his affection again. The face-slapping moments, where the MC takes control of his career, are also pretty satisfying.
Areas of Concern
The biggest sticking point for many, myself included, is the character of the ML. He is portrayed as immature, and his actions in the past life are difficult to forgive. The reasons behind his coldness towards the MC felt shallow, and some readers, myself included, found it hard to root for a reconciliation. I noticed a common sentiment that the story tries too hard to "whitewash" the ML, justifying his behavior to an extent that feels unearned. The pacing also seems to be an issue; the reconciliation happens too quickly for some, while the entertainment industry aspects are underdeveloped.

Final Verdict
"After Rebirth, I Become Popular in the Entertainment Industry" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine emotional resonance and a compelling premise, but it's weighed down by an unlikeable ML and a somewhat uneven focus. If you're a fan of the "wife-chasing crematorium" trope and are willing to overlook some character flaws, you might find it an enjoyable, albeit short, read. However, if you're looking for a strong, independent MC and a more balanced portrayal of the entertainment industry, you might want to look elsewhere. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars. It's not terrible, but it's not a standout either.
