Description
Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke. The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse. Reborn, he vowed to do things right—this time, he’d watch coldly as that two-faced green tea floundered without his support. Instead, he’d pour everything into Rong Yu, the green tea’s rival, and crush that scheming opportunist into the dirt. Let him choke on despair, now forever out of reach of the success he’d once taken for granted. But then… things got weird. Rong Yu’s phone was full of his photos. A life-sized pillow of him was stashed in Rong Yu’s bedroom. And the studio? Every painting—every single one—was of him. Just how long had Rong Yu been obsessed with him?

My Thoughts on Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor
Okay, so I dove into "Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor" and came out with some pretty strong opinions. This novel is definitely a ride, and while it's not perfect, it’s got a lot going for it, especially if you're a fan of the romance and yaoi genres with a dash of drama.
First Impressions
The premise is classic rebirth revenge: our MC, Yin Chengjue, gets betrayed by someone he supported and ends up dying. Reborn, he decides to change his fate by supporting someone else – cue the obsessive ML, Rong Yu. Right away, the yandere ML aspect grabbed my attention. I'm always a sucker for a well-written obsessive character, and this one seemed promising.
What Works Well
The dynamic between the MC and ML is the real draw here. The ML's character is surprisingly nuanced. He's not just a psycho for the sake of being a psycho; he has a code and genuinely cares for the MC, which adds a layer of complexity. I really enjoyed how the author portrayed his obsession as something masked by a gentle and polite demeanor. Plus, the fact that he can fight? Unexpected and hilarious when he plays the damsel.
The story also does a decent job with the ML's rise to stardom. The "face-slapping" moments, where the ML triumphs over unreasonable haters, are satisfying, even if they're a bit cliché. The story keeps you engaged with the MC's clever plans and the intriguing movies and shows the ML participates in.
Areas of Concern
I think the revenge plot itself felt a little secondary. While the MC is smart and plans ahead, the story focuses more on the ML's career. Also, the ML's initial boy band debut seems to get brushed aside pretty quickly, which felt like a missed opportunity.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor" is an entertaining read. If you're looking for a story with a doting MC and a complex, obsessive ML, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for some cliché revenge tropes and a plot that prioritizes the ML's career over the MC's revenge. Despite its flaws, the engaging characters and the unique dynamic between the leads kept me hooked. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
