Before he was reborn, Ye Fei was conscientious and diligent, with only work in his eyes. After his rebirth, Ye Fei decided to live freely. F*ck work! F*ck contract marriage! He would never live this kind of life again where he could rely on no one. Divorce, he must divorce!
Ye Fei threw out the divorce agreement on the coffee table, and shook his fingers happily. “Recently, there is a little fresh meat with upturned buttocks and a strong waist. Looks like he will last long.”
“There is also another one with a high nose bridge. His fingers are long. He’s clearly the kind of person who knows how to play.”
“Who is better?”
Yan Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him blankly.
Later….
Ye Fei lay paralyzed on the bed with a sore waist and soft legs, regretting hard enough to spit out a smoke ring. “I miscalculated.”

## My Thoughts on I Just Want to Divorce
"I Just Want to Divorce" promised a fresh take on the rebirth trope, and for the most part, it delivered. This drama, romance, and slice-of-life yaoi novel offered a quick but engaging read that kept me hooked from beginning to end.
### First Impressions
Initially, I was hesitant. Rebirth stories where the MC deals with a past life's "scummy" ML felt overdone. But I was pleasantly surprised. The premise, where the MC wants a divorce from a seemingly cold ML, intrigued me, and I dove in headfirst. The initial chapters immediately grabbed my attention.
### What Works Well
The romance is definitely the heart of this story. The dynamic between the MC and ML is compelling, with plenty of misunderstandings that, while frustrating at times, ultimately lead to satisfying character growth. I particularly enjoyed how the ML, despite his high IQ, struggles with emotional expression, leading to some genuinely heartwarming and humorous moments. His devotion to the MC, stemming from a chance encounter years prior, is incredibly sweet and provides a solid foundation for their relationship. The "face-slapping" moments, where the antagonists get their comeuppance, were also satisfying, though not the primary focus. The MC's desire to live freely in his second life is understandable, and his journey towards accepting the ML's affections is well-paced.
### Areas of Concern
While I overall enjoyed the story, I did find the MC to be somewhat frustrating at times. His initial standoffishness and assumptions about the ML could be irritating, and I wished he had approached the situation with more openness. Also, the villains felt a little one-dimensional.
### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning
Some readers might find the initial chapters difficult. The MC's past life trauma and the circumstances surrounding his death are gradually revealed, including the fact that his own family was responsible. This adds a layer of depth to his desire for a fresh start but can make the early interactions with the ML feel unfair. Also, the extra chapter focusing on the ML's life after the MC's death in the first timeline is emotionally heavy and might be upsetting for some.
### Final Verdict
Despite minor flaws, "I Just Want to Divorce" is a worthwhile read. The strong focus on romance, the unique character dynamics, and the satisfying resolution make it a standout in the rebirth genre. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet, fluffy, and emotionally engaging story with a happy ending. It's a quick read, perfect for when you want something heartwarming without a huge commitment.
