Shen Qiao always thought his life had gone quite smoothly: a loving family, a successful career, and an ex who, just as he wished, would never cross paths with him again.
Until one day, his beloved nephew did something reckless, and the aloof, secretly passionate man he'd once agreed to forget suddenly seemed to have come to his senses. He returned every trick Shen Qiao had used on him twenty-one years ago.
Good and evil are always repaid in kind; the heavens keep their own accounts. Look up and see: who has ever escaped their reckoning?
"You're my whole life," he said quietly. "I've known that for certain since I was seventeen."
Showbiz, rekindled romance, dual timeline, aloof beauty with hidden passion VS an edgy little maniac, legendary director VS retired movie star, happy ending
Blurb for the new novel:
At nineteen, Huo Lin returned to China, signed with the best agency in the industry, and made his debut. He carried a secret crush on a straight man he didn't dare bother, and had resolved to live out his days alone, unable to confess his feelings.
Then he met Nie Yunzhao.
Then, on their very first date, he beat Nie Yunzhao into the hospital. From that day on, his peaceful life was gone. A secretly scheming, devoted puppy of a man had forced his way into it, constantly switching between cool and wickedly playful and utterly ridiculous.
Life was hopeless.
After holding back for so long, Huo Lin finally had enough and gritted his teeth as he pulled out a kidney-stabbing knife:
So what if you act innocent while hiding a dark side? Do you think I'm some naive sweetheart?
Scheming, devoted puppy of an ML who has spent three hundred years perfecting cheesy pickup lines VS a short-tempered, strikingly beautiful, slightly yandere MC

The pacing of the story is really chaotic; sometimes I can't even tell when it's a flashback or the present. Also, the male lead is practically just background noise, appearing less often than several supporting characters. And the appearance of cannon fodder male leads is really annoying.
The most painful thing is when something I hate happens halfway through watching it; it's so upsetting!
Am I the only one who secretly hopes the protagonist will end up with Nie Liang? I always feel that when you're young and naive, you can be with your white moonlight without any worries. After going through so many ups and downs, and after being entangled with Nie for so many years, I feel that the protagonist is more likely to remember him for a lifetime. Although the way he loves is wrong, Nie really loves him!
