I just discovered this book in the trial reads and read through the available first 20 chapters. I was generally amused by the novel as it is pretty cliche, reborn MC, adverse family life plagued with debt and only his future talents to improve his life and his family.
The MC has a few female LI’s but the front runner is the naive daughter of the Mayor who really is described well in many aspects. The MC skilfully avoids some mistakes of his past and manages by doing so in capturing her heart. Thus is born the calamity of social status where he is but a lowly newspaper sellers son and she is the bright daughter of a Mayor. Of course we have those other stepping stone characters who want the girl and I am sure there will be contententious issues over this upcoming.
Overall even though I am displeased with, in my mind, the rushed translation where it sounds stilted or the incorrect use of genders which is pretty par for the course for translated Chinese novels, I am willing to overlook it mostly as the novel is enjoyable and one i would like to see selected.
