Description
Back in university Lu Yao married the most powerful man in Beicheng, Fu Shishu. In one fell swoop, she turned from a pheasant to a phoenix. Lu Yao should have lived the rest of her life as a rich man’s noble wife, but who could have known that her maiden family would become a burden to her. She courted disaster for her younger brother’s sake and she was finally divorced by Fu Shishu. Originally Lu Yao had thought that even if she was divorced, there will still be her maiden home to return to. Those years as Fu Shishu’s wife she had bought her family a big mansion and a luxury car. Yet before she could step through the threshold, she was turned away. The poor and impoverished Lu Yao became ill, and her family refused to look at her even till her dying breath. Lu Yao died in regret. Then she woke up at the time before she had married Fu Shishu. Once again, that man asked her: “Lu Yao, marry me.” Thinking of her outcome in her past life, Lu Yao politely declined. She only wanted to live a quiet and calm life. He gazed into her eyes deeply, and casually pulled at his cuffs. With a smile, he spoke, “Other than me, who dares to marry you?”

My Thoughts on Back to Before I Married the Tyrant
"Back to Before I Married the Tyrant" promised a second chance romance with a twist, and while it delivered on some fronts, it ultimately left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. The premise is intriguing: both the female lead (FL) and her ex-husband, the male lead (ML), are reborn, giving them an opportunity to rewrite their history. However, the execution felt rushed and some of the character choices left me scratching my head.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the idea of a meek FL getting a chance to become a strong, independent woman. The showbiz setting added a layer of glamour and intrigue. The early chapters hinted at a clever and determined protagonist ready to take control of her destiny.
What Works Well
The concept of dual rebirth is definitely a strong point. It sets the stage for potential character growth and explores the complexities of a past relationship. I also appreciated the FL's initial drive to build a successful career and avoid repeating her past mistakes. The fast-paced nature of the story might appeal to some, providing a quick and easy read.
Areas of Concern
However, the rapid pacing also contributes to some of the novel's biggest flaws. Several readers and I found the character development to be inconsistent and unconvincing. The FL's supposed transformation into a savvy businesswoman felt abrupt and unearned. Her relationships, particularly with the ML and the second male lead (2ML), felt forced and unnatural. The ML's obsessive behavior after his rebirth also raised some red flags.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Back to Before I Married the Tyrant" is a mixed bag. While the initial premise is promising and the fast pace might appeal to some, the weak character development, rushed plot, and questionable relationship dynamics ultimately detract from the overall experience. If you're looking for a light read with a focus on second chances, it might be worth a try, but don't expect a deeply satisfying or nuanced story. I'd rate it a 2.5 out of 5.
