Ji Qingzhou crossed into a book of dogblood s*um and ab*se. There were two choices in front of him.
A: Choose the genuine slag Gong in the original book, and start a sadistic and abusive romance with Fang Yaoxuan filled with domestic ab*se, a dead mom, and leaving the entertainment circle.
B: Choose the cannon fodder Villain, Chu Cheng, and be free of the slag Gong forever.
Ji Qingzhou wordlessly chose B without a second thought.
Chu Cheng was of distinguished birth and became the head of a popular company at a comparatively young age. He had seen many beauties in the entertainment circle but just happened to be fond of Ji Qingzhou.
A friend asked him, “Do you like this little star?”
Chu Cheng shook his head. “No, just playing with him.”
Outside the door, Ji Qingzhou nodded. Yes, that was what the book said.
A few months later, Ji Qingzhou was walking away while answering the phone, when he overheard someone saying, “Ji Qingzhou? Oh, Chu Cheng is just playing with him. Once he’s played enough, they’ll split.”
Ji Qingzhou was just about to nod, but then he heard Chu Cheng’s furious reply: “Nonsense! Which bastard told you that! Doesn’t he know that those who disturb a marriage will be kicked by a horse!”
Ji Qingzhou: ??? Wait, no, this is not what the book said!

Reborn As The Villain President’s Lover Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
## My Thoughts on Reborn As The Villain President’s Lover
"Reborn As The Villain President’s Lover" is a completed original web novel, and I have to say it was quite the ride. It's a blend of comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance with a healthy dose of slice-of-life, and while it might not be for everyone, it certainly has its charms.
### First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit hesitant. The whole "sugar daddy" trope can be tricky, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the author handled it. The early chapters set up a contract relationship, but it quickly becomes apparent that this isn't your typical power-imbalanced dynamic.
### What Works Well
The slow-burn romance is definitely a highlight. The characters actually get to know each other, and their feelings develop gradually. I appreciated the focus on communication and the surprisingly wholesome interactions. The Male Lead (ML) is not the typical overbearing president; he's respectful, and while a bit dense, genuinely cares for the Main Character (MC). Their banter is cute and often hilarious, making their relationship feel realistic and fun. The ML's friends and family are also well-developed and add depth to the story, especially the female "rival" who becomes a close friend.
### Areas of Concern
The slow pace, while charming to some, might frustrate others. I can see how some readers might find the MC a bit too passive, especially in the beginning. While he does stand up for himself, he sometimes relies on the ML for support, which can be a bit irritating. Also, the ML's cluelessness regarding his own feelings can drag on, although it does eventually lead to some satisfying moments. Some found the witty dialogue repetitive and the plot too slow-moving.
### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning
Some reviewers mentioned events that could be considered spoilers, such as the ML's friends pointing out his feelings before he realizes them himself, and certain plot developments involving the original slag gong and his "white moonlight." Be cautious when reading discussions about later chapters.
### Final Verdict
Overall, "Reborn As The Villain President’s Lover" is a sweet and fluffy read with a unique take on the contract-relationship trope. If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed story, this might not be for you. However, if you enjoy slow-burn romances, realistic characters, and a healthy dose of humor, I'd recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a bit of a slow start and some potentially frustrating moments along the way.
