Rebirth of The Golden Marriage

My Thoughts on Rebirth of The Golden Marriage

"Rebirth of The Golden Marriage" promised a fluffy, heartwarming read, and for the most part, it delivered. The premise is classic: betrayed in his past life, our protagonist gets a second chance to rewrite his destiny, choosing a different path and a different partner. I've read enough of these rebirth stories to know what I'm getting into, and while this one wasn't groundbreaking, it had its charms.

First Impressions

Initially, I was a little confused by the world-building. The story jumps right into the action, and I had to take a moment to understand the social norms around same-s*x marriage. However, I quickly got invested in Lin Yu Tong's decision to change his future and his budding relationship with Zhan Yi Fei. It was a welcome relief to see the MC move on from his previous lover without dwelling too much on revenge.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel lies in its sweetness. Many readers praised the gentle and tender courtship between Lin Yu Tong and Zhan Yi Fei. Their interactions are genuinely adorable, and I appreciated the lack of unnecessary angst or misunderstandings. The focus on family bonds and slice-of-life moments, like Chinese celebrations and everyday interactions, added a layer of authenticity that I enjoyed. Zhan Yi Fei is a refreshing ML, fully in love without being overbearing, and I liked seeing him balance his career goals with his devotion to Lin Yu Tong. I also appreciated that the MC's rebirth had practical consequences, like making smart investments based on his future knowledge.

Areas of Concern

I did find myself agreeing with some of the criticisms about the plot becoming somewhat mundane after the initial setup. While the fluff is enjoyable, the story occasionally lacked depth, and the focus shifted heavily toward the ML's family drama, sometimes leaving the MC feeling a bit sidelined. Also, the translation quality seems to be a significant point of contention. Some found the translation difficult to understand, while others found it acceptable. It seems that reading a better translation can greatly improve the reading experience.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Rebirth of The Golden Marriage" is a sweet and fluffy read that's perfect if you're looking for a heartwarming romance without too much drama. While it's not without its flaws, particularly in the translation, the adorable couple and focus on slice-of-life moments make it an enjoyable way to pass the time. I'd recommend seeking out a well-translated version to fully appreciate the story. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
