After Rebirth, The Prime Minister Just Wants to Call It Quits

Liu Zhenqing was a notorious powerful official in the history of the Zhou Dynasty. It was rumored that he was ruthless, brought trouble to the Imperial Court, used the young emperor as a puppet, and had a disloyal heart. However, heaven had eyes. In the end, Liu Zhenqing was shot through the heart by an arrow and died tragically. No one could calculate how many sins he had committed. They only knew that after his death, a victim dug up his grave in the middle of the night, crushed his bones, and scattered his ashes. After his death, Liu Zhenqing reflected on himself. He, a transmigrator, had been reborn as the favored eldest son of a prominent noble family. How had he become a treacherous official? It was probably because he worked too hard. He swore that in his next life, he would treat himself well. As a result, in the blink of an eye, he became a distant relative of the same clan eight years later. Although he was still the eldest son, he was a love-minded cutsleeve. Moreover, everyone in the capital knew that he was frantically pursuing the man who had dug up his predecessor’s grave, General Huo Fenglie. The people around him still had grudges against him from his previous life, and he was attacked from both sides. Liu Zhenqing: ……How about I keep a low profile? Thus, the traitorous official didn’t want to take revenge, but only wanted to stop trying, escape, and live a wonderful retired life as soon as possible. But when he finally arrived in a carriage at the city gates, the city was sealed shut. When he looked back, the God of War Huo Fenglie, who was supposed to be standing in front of thousands of troops without a change of expression, was in a state of disorder. As if he had lost his manners, he grabbed Liu Zhenqing’s wrist tightly and lowered his scarlet eyes, his voice slightly unstable: You…….where are you going? He said: You can’t leave, come home with me. Liu Zhenqing: …… f*ck! He couldn’t have recognized him, right? According to the rumors, he was the villain who killed his brother, coveted his sister-in-law, and plotted against his country! Thinking of the fate of his last body, he shivered. The little wolf cub finally took home the bone he had longed for. Soon after, the gossiping souls of the people in the capital burned brightly. Wasn’t it said that the General had a person he was deeply in love with, which was why he had refused the Emperor’s marriage offers several times? Why had he started to hide away a lover? Was he hiding that idiot who had originally harassed him? Sure enough, a strong man could be won over with persistence!

## My Thoughts on After Rebirth, The Prime Minister Just Wants to Call It Quits "After Rebirth, The Prime Minister Just Wants to Call It Quits" promised a blend of political intrigue, romance, and a healthy dose of humor, and for the most part, it delivered. I found myself drawn into the story of a prime minister reborn and his attempts to escape his past, only to be pulled back in by a determined general and a brewing rebellion. ### First Impressions Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A modern-day transmigrator reborn into ancient China, trying to lay low after a turbulent first life? Sign me up! The early chapters introduce us to our MC, who is indeed quite the talker. I can see how some readers might find his constant chatter a bit much, but I personally found it endearing, especially when it came to teasing the stoic ML. ### What Works Well The plot, for one, is genuinely engaging. The mystery surrounding the MC's past life and the reasons behind his tarnished reputation kept me guessing. I appreciated how the author slowly reveals information, building suspense and making me eager to uncover the truth. I also enjoyed the dynamic between the MC and ML. The MC's playful personality clashes wonderfully with the ML's serious demeanor, creating some genuinely funny and heartwarming moments. The ML's devotion to the MC is clear from the start, and watching their relationship develop, despite the misunderstandings and obstacles, was a highlight. Many readers praised the slow-burn romance and the way the author portrayed their growing feelings for each other. ### Areas of Concern While I generally enjoyed the MC's talkative nature, I can understand why some readers found it overwhelming or even felt that it undermined his intelligence. There were moments where his actions seemed inconsistent with his supposed strategic brilliance, which did create a bit of dissonance. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several reviewers expressed concern regarding a dubcon situation involving side characters. This event understandably led some readers to drop the novel, as it introduced an element that felt unnecessary and out of place. ### Final Verdict Despite some flaws, "After Rebirth, The Prime Minister Just Wants to Call It Quits" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of danmei with a strong plot and engaging characters. The romance, mystery, and political intrigue are well-balanced, and the MC and ML's relationship is genuinely heartwarming. Just be aware of the potential trigger regarding the side couple. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
