6/22/26 it seems I ... didn't post a single quote from this book? I also thought it took me more than a day to read but I guess not? I do remember it - again wavering b/t 2-3 stars. This is one of those trash candy reads. It's ridiculous, inconsistencies etc ... EQ basically negative ... really gross weird elementary school basically level ~romance/intimacy. The parallel worlds were well done though - and I did like both ML and FL.
C--- at best. ~*~*~ My Villainous Fiancée Always Changes Her Persona
1 FL is Xie JingCi? ML Pei Du seem cute. Poor tragic abandoned dying thing
3 😹😅 who is this thief Fu NanXing?
4 *SHRIEKING* 😹😹☠️☠️ omg the bootleg story book being read before the book’s subject Zhou Shen
5 ahhh “Xie Jingci would never know just how much those words meant to him. Like a scene from an implausible tale, at his lowest point—abandoned and reviled by all—the girl he’d quietly loved for years appeared before him. She didn’t scorn his shameful status or his ruined state, but earnestly told him to remember her. Clumsy, stubborn, and so unbearably kind it made his throat ache.” Ahhhh ““Miss Xie, if I ever regain my cultivation…” His heart hammered wildly as he suppressed the agony in his abdomen, his gaze locked onto her bright eyes. “I would give you everything I have. Through fire and flood, without hesitation.””
6 😹😹☠️ omg Mo Xiaoyang might be the biggest chaos Muppet I’ve ever read. Possible pig, teammate too? Just what an utter delightful mess.
8 😹☠️💯 I love these chaos gremlins!
11 omg he’s so in love. (Seriously HOW is she so clueless?!)
12 even though duh obvs, still ahhhh 😻😻😻 “It hadn’t been chance. Nor had it been some twist of fate. Every single one of those five slips had carried the same words: [Let me stay by your side.]”
13 😭😭😭 Fu Changshen
16 I have no expectations, but I still want for ML’s stupid evil not half brother and not stepmom to be exposed. And for his shit, not dad to just eat his heart out with regret. Also, I don’t understand why they’re keeping Jiang Tu alive.
18 omggggg her parents. & ML calling her dad grandfather in his panic. 😹😹😹😹😹☠️☠️☠️
19 Mo XiaoYang is adorable (a little annoying, but adorable). *siren awww* “Pei Du thought, if Miss Xie could subject him to the so-called "ruthless seizure" mentioned, he would be so happy he'd turn into a field snail, rolling around uncontrollably while obediently making his way to her side.”
20 <.< Don’t tell me FL’s bestie Meng XiaoTing & MXY get together… 😹😹😹☠️💯❤️ I love her dad
21 there was previous word salad so dunno if there were more errors but … 🤷🏻♀️ this c didn’t really make sense? Even w/ her system change the dialogue is 🤷🏻♀️
26 oh nooooo. Poor Abel doesn’t know he’s being watched? That’s so terrible and unfair.
30 lol she’s got no idea she’s catching feelings. (The dream sequence was 🫠)
31 😱😅🫠 poor ML unknowingly taking the dream fall for FL (thank god that ABO stuff is over - ☠️ my first exposure)
… what’s up w/ Meng XiaoTing’s mom Jiang Qingyi?
34 AHH 😻 “How laughable. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, a Miss Xie willing to be infinitely devoted to him... would undoubtedly be a mere illusion, not to be taken as real. Many years ago, he had already secretly made a resolution. Miss Xie's radiance was too distant, too brilliant, like the unreachable sun atop the dome of heaven. Born in the dust and mud, it had taken him most of his life just to inch closer to her. Pei Du would never allow anyone to make her fall.”
35 MXT & even more her mom’s experience made me cry. Also, previously, I’d been judging FL for not staying at home, but obviously the previous chapter showed that Home isn’t safe either. I am definitely judging her parents for not having any sort of defensive arrays in the manner. Like what the fuck y’all
37 it’s a little funny, but the system is also too messy. So I’m actually mostly skimming whatever it’s having FL do, it’s too random and just badly written. But I am a deep deep sucker for a love brain hero, so on we go.
39 OH DID SHE FINALLY CATCH FEELINGS?!
42 rrnneerrrhhh 😻😻😻 Pei Du might be moving into my top 10 favorites!
43 😹😹💯 the way FL handled Pei MingChuan - SATISFYING!
46 scrolling this Pei Yu shit like the others not figuring out he’s the villain is annoyingly stupid
47 omg 🙊 “It was also his ultimate confession—one where he laid his life on the line in a desperate gamble. His radiant sun sat high above. His devotion would remain unwavering until death. There was no need for any so-called entrustment. He had long since willingly placed his life in her hands, regardless of how it all might end. Through countless dark nights where he could not see the path ahead, Xie Jingci had always been his eternal guiding light.”
48 ahhh omggg his memories! 😭😭😭 And she kissed him!!
49 😻😻😻 “Xie Jingci spoke very close to him, right by his ear: "Because I like you. As long as you can be happy, that is more than enough."”
50 🙄🙄🫠 I knew it. The “bratty” CP of whatever tiny fallen country Jiang HanXiao wasn’t actually evil. Did he send Zhou Yuan to save Chu Zheng? Aww and JHX was the one who left her peach blossom cakes
53 oh no, what’s wrong with ML. Don’t tell me the Pei fake dad stuck something in his head to keep him loyal to the family. I need them to really look into whatever pain is happening in his brain.
57 don’t tell me whatever hidden demonic thing in ML is actually what hurt FL. Also that bitch Bai Wan - ML‘s fake ass foster mom, is obviously gonna be a big problem and I’m annoyed that nobody is guarding against her dude WTF
58 omg so now the system is in his head, and whatever demonic energy is in hers? Hopefully that means she can expel it. But like Dude. Also, though I thought they were incredibly stupid and reckless to come to this eastern sea, whatever alone like obviously there are problems and now they’re stuck.
61 am I the only person who finds Gu Mingzhao suspicious?
62 and that Miss Han. Also, this flirting would be cute, other than the fact that they’re in the middle of this like massively per situation. So instead, this is Moore, not even annoying distraction, but foolishness.
63 and yep. Her spiritual energy got emptied. That’s what you fucking get for a fucking joyriding mid crisis dumb bitch. … ok is Gu Mingzhao the village deity? Yup. “he is High Immortal Shuifeng”
Full on SOBBING as I read Gu Mingzhao,/Shuifeng listening to the old prayers from Lingshui village
69 ahh HE’S SO GOOD “Shielding the girl he loved from all misfortune and darkness—this was Pei Du's way of protecting her. It had always been so.”
71 yaaay! He saves the day again!
73 ahhhh she’s always liked him too!! SO CUTE
76 😿 poor ML in the other world
77 OK so FL woke up with her in the other world by giving the part of her soul or spirit or memories or whatever to that girl, and it’s nice the other her ran to the demonic ML… But like he’s literally gonna die in like a few hours, if not minutes. So likegirl like what are you doing? What are you gonna do?
78 😹😹☠️ MXT & her recording stones
Scrolled 80 cuz I’m so sick of their middle school flirting awkwardness. Then got to “Her lips landed lightly on his earlobe, which was so red it looked ready to bleed. A wet, fish-like touch slipped from between her lips and pressed down hard.” and *shudders* 😹☠️ ok the end - her 🙈🤦🏻♀️😹☠️
81 yay ML’s name is cleared!
84 honestly their “hot” scenes are so awkward it’s uncomfortable, and kind of gross. Like I’m scrolling through this.
87 uhhh what a jump from the tournament. 6+ mo later? What happened to the barrier? Who won? Did people actually die? Anyway, wedding! Also, oh phew “You were supposed to fight to the death, not harvest the audience like leeks. Fortunately, the Black Tortoise Realm wasn't reality. After some restoration, a joss stick's time later, everyone was alive and well again.”
89 aww tragic world them ❤️❤️
95 FINALLY. “The surroundings were extremely noisy yet incredibly quiet. Pei Du heard her say, "Someone as wonderful as him... as long as you've met him once, it's hard not to fall for him."” Now get the program going!! (Yay little boy Sun Jue)
96 yay! Sad world Long Xiao confessed to Meng XiaoTing!
97 *crying* “Do not fail his feelings, do not respond to his full-hearted enthusiasm with coldness, and do not let him die all alone. And do not forget that you once liked him so, so much. Because in his heart, you have always been the most special one.”
98 *Happy claps* yay Justice for ML in the sad world too!
99 ❤️ delightful parallel world arc
102 OK I get the comment that said the later chapters aren’t good now. The bunny stuff was already old, but the tentacles are a hard no. I just scrolled through most of this chapter. Also because it’s just repeating more annoying awkwardness. It’s not cute anymore. It’s weird
103 more scrolling 🙄😒 a merman
104 scrolling - though it hit me, is it that books can’t be “sexy” unless it’s weird, and almost a joke? Like the cloaca erection whatever fish thing. Yeah and just reading those words I am speechless and that’s my reaction to all this too.
Scrolled basically through 108 though yay MXT & LX interlude (in 106 maybe?)
109 awww wedding + that immortal in the secret realm + her crown prince - Jiang Hanxiao (the ~tree) & Chu Zheng … oh I only had like 3 paragraphs left & coulda finished it last night but was so uninterested
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I enjoyed the story but did feel like the pacing could've been worked on. Some arcs felt like they were unnecessary to the plot and/or too drawn out. I ended up getting so bored during some of the arcs because it was like what are we even doing here? why are we lingering here so long isn't there more important things to do? Also feel like some of the concepts the author was trying to touch on didn't quite hit the mark for me. Specifically the Nightmare arc as the motive of one of the characters was presented as complex but the "resolution" didn't feel satisfactory. The highlight of the story was Xie Jingci and Pei Du's relationship. I like how fresh their dynamic feels in comparison to others within the genre.
Overall a fun story to turn your brain off to but don't think too deeply about the plots or the characters. If you really like the characters you'll enjoy how drawn out the story is, if not you might get a little annoyed.
