After he fell asleep on the bed and died a violent death, Chu Qi realized that he was actually a cannon fodder in a cultivation novel. His role was to die at the age of twenty and become the white moonlight of the novel’s immortal monarch big brother Yan Jiuge.
Chu Qi: ????
That Yan Jiuge, who was always annoyed with him, resented him for dragging his feet and wanted to fight with him, secretly liked him for ten years?
It turned out that, after Chu Qi’s death, in order to bring him back to life, Yan Jiuge traversed mountains of knives and oceans of fire to scavenge for heavenly treasures, but he ended up trapped by the heart demon for life because of his paranoia, and his cultivation was s**ked away by the useless protagonist.
After watching the plot, Chu Qi was tortured to tears by the ending of Yan Jiuge, and he was reborn back to the age of ten. At this time, Yan Jiuge, who was dressed in black and gold, gave a cold grunt and looked disgusted: “You’ve been crying for a long time. I’m afraid you want me to carry you, don’t you?”
Chu Qi touched the tears that didn’t exist in the corner of his eyes and held out his hand to Yan Jiuge. “Yes, you should.”
Chu Qi: Fortunately, I know the truth now. You wanted to carry me, not fight with me.
Starting with the ending, this story was about an immortal that had a tribulation to overcome in the lower realms, but his lover took it in his place. Then he followed him down because he loves him too much.
Reincarnation after reincarnation, the only way to return in the upper realms to stop the fate of the lover to die each time.
But then, there are only 3 reincarnations and he actually failed each time. So I don’t understand how the scroll can make him turn in the 2nd timeline, make Chu Qi regain his memories of the forgotten timeline and also gave him that pure body that he didn’t had in first place. I mean, wasn’t his root entirely different in that timeline?
It didn’t make sense, he failed to save him and why that evil entity wasn’t there anymore? If the 3rd timeline was cancelled, why the evil entity wasn’t revived too in the 2nd?
How about the uncle? Shouldn’t he be still alive since the world tree wasn’t withered?
It didn’t make any sense!
There are so many plot holes and the narration was tedious. The fighting scenes were all impactful with a lot of theory of cultivation and so on, but they lacked emotional dynamics, I don’t know if it’s understandable. I can just make some examples with other stories, like in “return of the mount Hua sect”, it wasn’t a cultivation world but the author made the reader interested in the fighting scenes. They were explained beautifully and visibly and emotionally dynamic, making people interested in the characters martial arts. Here it was just a bunch of scenes explained in grand to make the main leads shine. Boring.
And the love story was so bland, I just couldn’t feel the longing that should be there, it wasn’t described, like it was there like something that needs to be there but didn’t want to.
The villain was also bland. The secondary characters are also bland.
I mean, the idea was there but the execution was faulty.

This was OK to pass time, but didn't have enough 'pull' to keep me interested. I struggled to continue after halfway and forced myself to finish it.
I think one issue is that the main characters were passive for majority of the story. The story found them, not the other way around. The characters stumbled onto incidents and the antagonist by accident, and yet we're shown the antagonist plotting in the dark again and again while... the main characters just... continued with their daily life...
The romance aspect was rather lacking, maybe because the ML started from a state of already liking MC, so there wasn't much development needed. MC himself didn't have any obstacle or realisation in falling for ML, it just happened. It's explained away in the end by the fact that they're originally already a couple, but... There's no struggle in the romance department, basically.
The plot was ok, and I thought the author made a bold choice in erasing the third timeline... And then cheapened that decision by restoring MC's memory of the erased timeline.
In short... Not a story I'd recommend, there are better stories with similar premise.
Also, the "protagonist" mentioned in the story blurb? Never made an appearance. The blurb didn't even need to mention it as it wouldn't change the story...

3.75 Fue muy entretenido y ame su relación pero la trama me hizo dar vueltas la cabeza JAJAJA, el final fue feliz pero no era lo que esperaba (quería). Historia linda, divertida y con una trama interesante pero no fue lo suficiente para hacerme amarla por mucho tiempo. La recomiendo como para un bloqueo de lector.
