Second Marriage of a Wealthy Old Man

Rate this book
Meng Yang had done a lot of s*upid and wrong things in his life. Jumping around like a clown, annoying and unpleasant. Only after his tragic death did he know that he was a cannon fodder written in a book who only existed to set off the protagonist shou.

Although he certainly had done things to hate, the protagonist gong and the protagonist shou were not totally innocent. The protagonist gong betrayed him first, then the protagonist shou framed him. So when he was reborn, he decided…

Marry the protagonist gong’s rich father and give the protagonist a few younger brothers to divide the property.

He wanted to be pregnant soon but thinking that the old man was getting older it would be more difficult. But he didn’t expect that the old man was not only strong, he was even more handsome than the protagonist gong. The steady momentum and charm of that mature man was so attractive that a certain person couldn’t close their legs…ahhhh, he accidentally told the truth. He just couldn’t hold his mouth.

Luo Xiu and his ex-wife had been in a business marriage and were divorced for many years. He really did not expect that he would marry a boy so much younger than him, that he would become an extra son to raise.

He just didn’t expect this delicate and tender little guy to be so attractive, making him pamper him and spoil him and eventually take his heart.

4/5🌟

This novel got me so hooked the entire time. It's a transmigration/reborn story with revenge and a lot of face-slapping. I know that the author really took advantage of the MC's knowledge of rebirth to give him so much golden finger so even though there are a lot of grievances that have to be paid in the present timeline from the villains, it's relatively smooth-sailing for the MC.

Readers who are not into age gap romance, turn around and walk away. MC and ML have 20-year age gap so if you still choose to read it and then rate it low because of that aspect, it's no longer the novel's problem. Glad that I'm not sensitive with age gap romance, as long as both parties are adult, and this novel doesn't have any problem with that. And added to the fact that ML, who's the older one, was clearly described in a very pleasant and attractive way, I have this clear picture of this couple in my mind that just couldn't make me not want to ship them.

It's kind of abrupt though with the mpreg aspect because I was not aware that some male from this world can conceive. It's a modern world, not even an omegaverse and it was not clearly stated from the beginning about the mpreg. That's why when the MC declared to the ML that he was willing to get pregnant, I was shocked. Not a problem for me though because having a cute and adorable little baobei in the story is never a problem for me.

I was hoping that the ML found out about the MC's rebirth though, but unfortunately, he remained unaware. Still, loved the dynamic between the MC and ML. The tender yet passionate love between them just makes me so engaged. It's not common to see an MC falling in love first in a danmei but I loved this. I hoped to read more novels with that trope.

The story itself is not very special, quite a slice of life. The main point of difference is the big age gap and the misleading title. He is not that old as title implies, so don’t worry. But yes, there is an age difference.

The story is a bit of revenge, face slapping while having main focus on MC trying to have a good life with ML. Also, some career episodes, but some things are not realistic, so don’t take it too much to heart.

The relationship. They are definitely quite nice. It changes between lovers and child/elder from time to time, but it’s not bad. They speak, support and understand each other. Not toxic, no misunderstandings to drive to plot, no dog blood drama. Fluff mostly. Also, a child care. BE AWARE of mpreg tag. It’s not ABO, just an mpreg.

This story is mostly a one time read for me, but it’s a relaxing and cute read. I’ve enjoyed it and it put my heart at ease after more dramatic novels. Recommend to give it a go.

Another web novel where our MC reincarnated and realized that he's just a cannon fodder on this book.

Meng Yang died on his previous life because of the supposed main lead on the book/world from his past.

On this life he swore to live a happy life with his lover from the past.

The plot is quite interesting. I was up until 2 in the morning trying to finish this one. This is an ongoing translation by the way. At the moment, the last 13 chapters are not yet translated so I read the MTL version of them.😅

I also like the secondary characters and the aromatherapy and perfume industry dicussed in the book. There is an mpreg trope here which is a cute part on the book for me.😊

I enjoyed this one.👍

The synopsis is interesting. Unfortunately, the story is easy to predict. Like the story of Danmei Ceo, who met him for the first time and immediately liked + revenge after repeating reincarnation.

The MC from beginning to end thinks about revenge. ML is also so jealous. The writing style is like a beginner's wattpad story, like a dream type to just be a CEO partner.

I would say that this is a very light read for such a heavy theme. I enjoy how we were not only following the mc throughout his revenge plot but also his love story and how he was living his best lives.

Meng Yang felt, although no one could not choose their own birth, everyone should have the right to choose their own life. Parents bringing their children into this world was the parents' unilateral choice, not the children's choice. Parents had the responsibility to teach their children independent thinking and independent ability. They had the obligation to nurture and teach their children before they reach adulthood. Even if it was a life that was countless times better than ordinary people, it was still something the parents themselves were willing to give, rather than it was something the child asked them to give before or after birth. So it shouldn't be a reason for parents to control their children’s freedom of marriage just because they were born to them.

Next, love Meng Yang for always being an amazing support for Luo Xiu. His thoughts about filial culture are very much needed, especially in this context where milking tf out of your kid’s considered as a repayment for giving birth to you.

Overall, I never expected something extraordinary to happen in the story so I pretty much liking everything.

นี่เป็นนิยายกลับชาติมาเกิดใหม่ของเมิ่งหยาง
ชาติที่แล้วก่อนตายถูกทำร้าย ชีวิตลำบากมาก
พอได้ย้อนกลับมาใหม่ เลยจะไม่ยอมให้คนที่เคยทำร้ายเค้า
มีโอกาสแบบเดิมอีก ที่เจ็บปวดก็คือคนที่ทำร้ายเค้า
คือพ่อและญาติๆ ทั้งนั้นเลย (โดยมีลูกติดของแม่เลี้ยง
เป็นตัวร้ายหลักที่ดูใสซื่อ แต่ลึกๆ ในใจนั้น... หึหึหึ

เมิ่งหยางในชีวิตใหม่ค่อนข้างเด็ดขาด จะเอาคืน
อดีตคู่หมั้นกับครอบครัว แต่ขณะเดียวกันก็อยากสมหวัง
ในความรักด้วย เพราะในชาติก่อนเค้ามีความรู้สึกผูกพัน
กับคนๆ นึงที่ช่วยเค้า แต่ก็มาตายซะก่อน
คนๆ นั้นก็คือลั่วซิว พ่อของคู่หมั้นของเค้าเอง
แต่ไม่ต้องตกใจ พระเอกไม่ได้แก่หง่อม อายุประมาณ
30 ปลายๆ แค่นั้น ส่วนเมิ่งหยางตอนย้อนกลับมา
อายุประมาณ 19

ในเรื่องก็จะเป็นการเอาคืนบรรดาคนที่เคยร้ายกับเค้า
พยายามสานสัมพันธ์กับลั่วซิว และการเรียนทำเครื่องหอมต่างๆ
ที่สามารถบำบัดอาการป่วยได้ (เน้นเรื่องเครื่องหอมค่อนข้างเยอะ)
เมิ่งหยางโชคดีที่กลับมาคราวนี้จำอดีตได้หมด แถมความสามารถ
ด้านต่างๆ ยังดีกว่าเดิม ลั่วซิวก็รักมากหลงมาก

ที่ให้สามดาวเพราะเนื้อเรื่องมันก็ดำเนินไปแนวนี้อ่ะค่ะ
และก็มีบรรยายชีวิตแบบไฮโซของเมิ่งหยางกับลั่วซิว
(ลั่วซิวรวยมากกกก) อ่านจนจบ ลุ้นให้เมิ่งหยาง
บอกความจริงกับพระเอก แต่เมิ่งหยางไม่ยอมบอกอ่ะ
ขัดใจนิดหน่อยเพราะรู้สึกว่าก็บรรยายว่ารักกันขนาดนี้
ลูกก็มีด้วยกันแล้ว ยังไม่ไว้ใจสามีที่รักอีกเหรอออ

สรุปคืออ่านได้เพลินๆ แต่ไม่ได้ประทับใจขนาดต้องกลับมาอ่านซ้ำค่ะ

Siento que este tipo de historias comienza muy bien, pero inevitablemente en algún punto todo se vuelve monótono y nada divertido de leer.
No hablo tanto del romance, porque solo Satán sabrá cuánto me encantan las historias donde MC y ML no tienen nada de drama entre ellos y se apoyan todo el tiempo, sino del resto de sus vidas.
Todo les sale perfecto, no se esfuerzan, la solución a todos sus problemas les llega mágicamente por el solo hecho de amarse. Como si la idea de reencarnar o de transmigrar de repente les diera el halo del protagonista súper evidente.
Eso hace que los otros personajes, incluidos la carne de cañón, parezcan más pobres idiotas que escorias reales de las que deberían vengarse.
Sí, al principio estuvo muy bien. Existen las ganas de que los antagonistas sufran por lo que hicieron en el pasado. Luego, es simplemente venganza y humillación gratuita, porque son ricos y pueden. De repente parece que el autor se da cuenta de que en realidad sus personajes malvados no están haciendo nada que merezca que los sigan atacando y se saca otro arco muy mal logrado para golpearlos un poco más. No había sido suficiente, parece.
Dos estrellas porque, a pesar de todo, me encanta la pareja. La historia se me hizo repetitiva y aburrida.

4.5 Stars!!!

So good! I love revenge stories and this one was really well done. I loved the MC, the way he handled everything was so satisfying. The world building was unique, it felt like the book started at a random part but it wasn't a bad thing weirdly enough. The focus of the book being aromatherapy was so different than anything I have ever read. It was entertaining, if not super unrealistic but it's a fictional book, like whatever.

I read this book so fast, it was just that good. One critique (SLIGHT SPOILER):

I kind of wish he told Luo Xiu about the past life. I do like that he managed to overcome his fears related to the past but I just think it would have been nice to see them talk about it. One thing though that i did like was how much Luo Xiu respected his wish to not talk about it. Like that's crazy. He is such a good man.

Ameee el libro demasiado, lo releeria si es posible, me encanto como el protagonista ya no volvio a ser el mismo y no se dejo manipular por su familia y el otro protagonista lo trataba muy lindo, me encanto su relacion.

El ex de el protagonista era una mierda, estaba re loco y el "hermano" del protagonista que se quedo con el ex, se creia el centro del universo, queria para él, todo lo que el protagonista tenia, me estresaba que todo le envidiaba, estaba loquisimo, por eso me encanto, le ponia ese algo al libro

A story about life, jealousy, revenge, reincarnation .these types of stories teach you indirectly ,make you believe that there is a power of redemption, second chances, new beginnings .Karma exists! But most of all, what is meant to be will happen .love as a basis for overcoming, is something undeniable .

2.5⭐ Rebirth. Revenge. Age Gap. Slice of Life.
As soon as the "revenge" plot was over, the author dropped the ball. The last 20 chapters or so had new characters introduced and hinted at potential conflict and new drama, but then ended just like that. Not a rushed end but just "The End". The author dropped the story just like that. At least they had the decency to wait for the MC to get home from his vacation and then they dropped the "From now on, they'll always be happy. THE END" 😂 Why bother dragging things out in the first place?

My guilty pleasure is reading a completely unorthodox revenge danmei with faceslapping plot-line and terrible romance (the flirty dialogues really were so cringe here). I think I went into it after turning off my brain cause goddamn I can’t believe I read that soap opera story and still completed it cause it was hilariously immature.

It was good and i hated the ex boyfriend at first but then you found out that he is not Luo xiu real son and that his mother was cheating.

I love the fast that the way he got his revenge was to marry his ex father

I'm sorry, está historia tenía un gran potencial y al final es de 😐.

No hay una conclusión, no hay un aftermath. Solo se queda en nada. Imagina que los malos reciben un castigo.

Ni fue tan buena venganza, al final el protagonista fue feliz como 5 minutos y ya está. I don't like this.

3.5, but because it fit my slice of life mood so I bumped up the rating. Story is your typical reincarnation cannon fodder realisation novels, with OP aromatherapy skills. It’s a light filler read with some good face slapping.

Es una historia simple y fácil de leer,no incluye muchos giros de drama,empecé a leerla y fue buena pero al llegar a los últimos capítulos se me hizo tediosa o aburrida,algunas cosas no quedan especificadas pero supongo que es algo para pasar el rato.

DNF - at chapter 35.

I’ve lost interest. The romance is flat, the MC is boring and the face slapping is meh.

I didn't like the face slap its too light what they did actually in previous life i think death is more suitable not such humiliation and disgrace but overall it is worth reading .

Large age gap (both are adults) // starts as contract relationship // mpreg (but not abo)
This is a very light read, with a lot of cute moments between the couple. Their relationship is very healthy and there aren’t any misunderstandings. This story has a bit of revenge, but it’s more of the main characters living their lives while getting rid of the bad guys lolol. The friendships the MC had were very cute and sweet, I would’ve like to have seen more of them.
