Wēn MíngYì has a next door neighbour childhood gege (elder brother). His gege is wealthy, handsome, and powerful, and would spoil him.

Wen MingYi was about to make amends with his gege when, pushed by the novel’s main character – slam – he died. After his death, Wen MingYi realised that he and his childhood gege were merely side characters in a novel. He had to die to complete the main characters’ true love relationship. Because of his death, his gege turned into a villain, becoming a stepping stone for the main characters’ true love, and who eventually got reduced to a penniless person who lost his family and life.

Wen MingYi hurriedly ran to his gege, wanting to tell him to cherish life, to get away from the white lotus. The clock sounded at 9 o’clock, and he found that he had turned into a cat. Wen MingYi was shocked. He got closer to his childhood gege and shouted: “Ge, ge……” But the voice that came out was, “Meow, meow, meow meow meow meow……” Sī JūnDuó looked at the didi (younger brother) who suddenly turned into a cat, stunned. Wen MingYi aggrievedly “meow meow meow”-ed for half a day, and bit his pants leg, don’t leave! Si JunDuo: …… Si JunDuo reached down to pick the cat up. Anyone who associates with Si JunDuo is aware that he cares greatly about Wen MingYi, whom he had grown up with. He never retaliated no matter how much Wen MingYi raised trouble with him. His friends observed, “You like him, romantically.” Si JunDuo indifferently said, “I do not.” Half a year later, Wen MingYi who had been sharing the same bed with Si JunDuo as a cat everyday, stated that he should probably go back to his room. Si JunDuo grabbed his hand, “Just stay here. You’re mine when you turn into a cat or dog. When you transform back into a human, naturally you’re also mine.” Wen MingYi: ??? Si JunDuo stroked his head, “Behave.” — I like you, romantically.

## My Thoughts on Reborn as the Villain President’s Cat & Dog "Reborn as the Villain President’s Cat & Dog" is a novel I dove into with a mix of curiosity and excitement, given its blend of fantasy, romance, and shounen ai elements. The premise alone is intriguing – a rebirth story with a twist of animal transformations and showbiz drama. While it wasn't without its flaws, I found it to be a generally enjoyable and fluffy read. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the idea of a "villain" being reborn, but the story quickly revealed itself to be less about vengeance and more about second chances. The main character, Wen Mingyi, is reborn into his younger self after a less-than-ideal first life. Discovering his world is a novel, he sets out to avoid his previous tragic end and protect his beloved brother, Si Junduo. ### What Works Well One aspect that consistently stood out to me was the character of Si Junduo, the male lead. He's a breath of fresh air compared to the typical domineering CEO. His devotion to Wen Mingyi is unwavering, and his selfless nature is genuinely heartwarming. He's incredibly understanding and always puts Wen Mingyi's feelings first, even leaving him an "out" in their relationship if he ever regrets it. I also enjoyed the showbiz elements, and the author does a good job building up emotional scenes. The MC's parents recognized their past neglect and actively tried to redeem themselves. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the story, some aspects could have been better developed. Wen Mingyi's character, while growing throughout the story, can be a bit grating at times. He tends to blame the "plot" for his actions, which can feel like a cop-out. The cat and dog transformation, a central element in the beginning, felt somewhat abandoned later on. The reason for the transformation is never explained. Additionally, the resolution of the MC's parental neglect felt a little too rushed and glossed over. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might be sensitive to spoilers, so I'll mark this section accordingly. Several readers have noted the "villain" Jiang Zimo isn't wholly unsympathetic. He's portrayed as a product of circumstance, driven by jealousy and a difficult background. Also, the MC's parents neglect, which is lightly brushed over. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Reborn as the Villain President’s Cat & Dog" is a sweet and fluffy read that I would recommend if you're looking for something light and heartwarming. While the MC can be frustrating at times, the ML's devotion and the story's overall positive tone make it an enjoyable experience. Just don't go in expecting a deep, complex plot, and you'll likely find yourself charmed by this sweet tale of second chances and brotherly love.
