Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu (Novel) Vol. 4
VISIONS OF THE PAST AND FUTURE
After returning from the north, the Department of Exorcism is no sooner reunited in Chang'an than a series of strange cases strikes the capital. Vicious ghosts have appeared in the imperial mausoleums, slaughtering the guards who protect the remains of former emperors. Whether the attacks are a true haunting, the yao king at work, or the plot of a sinister new enemy, the exorcists must discover the truth before another catastrophe befalls the nation.
Meanwhile, although Hongjun and Li Jinglong have taken a step forward in their relationship, Hongjun continues to be plagued by anxieties. One entity may be able to answer his the divine kun, a powerful yao with the ability to see the future. But the kun is missing, and the yao king—or his agents—may hold the only clues to his mysterious disappearance.

This danmei series is increasingly testing my patience, yet my love for it remains unwavering. The latest volume is packed with so many twists and turns that my emotions swung wildly, but I can confidently say I enjoyed it more than Volume 3. The classic miscommunication trope is still very much present and drags on throughout the entire volume, but I was able to overlook it because the volume offered more moments of joy than frustration.
As we delve deeper into the story, the plot's tone becomes progressively more serious, and each new revelation heightens my anxiety and anticipation for what’s to come.
Hongjung's characterization in this volume truly made me realize that he is somewhat naive and lacking in common sense, but that's perfectly fine since Li Jinglong is quite fond of his innocence. Hongjung is naive, often clumsy, and young, which at times tests my patience, but I still find him somewhat endearing. Still, I can't wait for him to grow and mature.
Li Jinglong undeniably stands out as the most romantic love interest in this story. His demeanor is incredibly sweet and tender towards Hongjung. He exhibits remarkable intelligence, and the way his plans are always so on point and work out easily, exactly as he planned, makes him seem almost perfect in the story. While he is not, he comes remarkably close, and his romantic gestures and caring nature truly shine.
Mergen faces a series of internal and external struggles in this volume. He initially believed that the white deer was a woman, and when that turned out not to be the case, he was left feeling confused and uncertain about his own feelings. Despite his good heart and desire to do right by Lu Xu, he frequently puts his foot in his mouth, leading to awkward and tense moments. His development in this volume hints at a deeper internal conflict and a growth potential.
Lu Xu remains my favorite character by far. His personality perfectly matches my own preferences. His cold, aloof exterior and his tendency to act as if he doesn't care about Mergen because he's hurt emotionally only make him more intriguing. I appreciate characters with a bit of pride and a complex emotional layer. I also enjoy how he keeps Mergen on his toes, making him earn his heart through effort and persistence. Because of his emotional scars, Lu Xu is not quick to forgive or forget, which adds to his depth and realism.
The relationship between Hongjung and Li Jinglong is both sweet and heartwarming. Having just entered a fully established relationship, they already behave like a married couple, exhibiting tenderness and care in their interactions. The love they share is expressed with such intensity and sincerity that it truly warms the heart and adds a beautiful depth to the story.
Meanwhile, Mergen and Lu Xu's relationship remains tumultuous and uncertain. They tend to avoid addressing the difficult questions that threaten their bond, choosing instead to bury their heads in the sand. However, there are signs of progress—Mergen begins to realize he doesn't truly understand Lu Xu and that sincere effort is necessary if he wants a meaningful relationship. Similarly, Lu Xu is slowly coming to terms with his feelings for Mergen. Their evolving relationship is the one I find most compelling and exciting.
Supporting characters A-Tai and Qiu Yongsi continue to enrich the story, with Qiu Yongsi standing out as especially intriguing. I’m eagerly looking forward to learning more about him and his role in the unfolding narrative.
In conclusion, this volume was more enjoyable than Volume 3, despite the frustrations it caused. I am eagerly awaiting the release of Volume 5 to see what happens next.

sadly found this the most lacking volume in this danmei so far. truly about a 3.5 for me… i wasn’t that immersed by the plot and was slightly bored with the main couple since they got together. i’m a little interested in this side couple but, not enough. i find it that i have loved every odd number volume of this danmei and not really the even number volumes 😭 so, i’m assuming things will be better for me next volume…
this is also random but this author might be writing the most explicit sex scenes i’ve ever read in a danmei… they’re sooo detailed that it’s shocking reading them.
also, slight spoilery rant:
the cover for this is phenomenal. i'm in love with the art for all the volumes of this and it's truly the definition of art-bait... every now and then, i wish i had the physical copies for this danmei just to admire the covers. i love ruthie's art sooo much 😌😌
(i showed two of my friends this cover when it got revealed and they said it looks like a basic webtoon cover. but.)

xie yu gave a hoarse roar as the black energy flowing from his horn transformed into a stream of obsidian flames linked to . hongjun’s pupils contracted.
“tell me you like me, hongjun.”
a familiar voice echoed in his mind. the pain, the sorrow… all of his dark memories shattered. enveloped in a white glow, hongjun watched as li jinglong wrapped him in a warm embrace and pressed a soft yet searing kiss to his lips.
light flashed in hongjun’s chest and deflected xie yu’s black flames.

This review might be a bit lacking since I read this volume during one of the roughest and busiest Decembers of my life!
4.8/5
DON'T SPOIL FUTURE VOLUMES IN MY COMMENTS
I felt this volume had a significant amount of "info-dumping" along with a few minor plot hole, though I suspect those will be explained in later volumes. Some scenes definitely left me questioning things, and I’ll list those specific questions in the spoiler section below. Overall, this volume is a great mix of adventure, romance, lore, and political intrigue.
I am absolutely eating up Hongjun and Li Jinglong’s relationship! Li Jinglong is such a devoted "bully" toward Hongjun, but not in a bad way at all! You can really see their conversations deepening and the connection between them growing. I’m dying to find out more about why their fates are so intertwined. Meanwhile, the rest of the group is already over their gushy, lovey-dovey nonsense! 😂
Happy Reading!🥰
🌌Spoiler Warnings🌌
• The Connection: I believe one of the many threads bringing Hongjun and Li Jinglong together is their shared loneliness. I need more of their history! Especially regarding Li Jinglong’s past and Hongjun’s dream. I’m waiting for the moment Hongjun finally tells Li Jinglong that they were childhood friends.
• The Dynamic: Also... Li Jinglong "bullies" Hongjun in bed. 🤭
• Mergen & Lu Xu: Mergen, my poor wolf boy, you are totally overthinking your feelings for Lu Xu! One moment he says he isn't attracted to him and just wants to be friends, but the next moment he sees Lu Xu in a different light and the attraction hits. That’s just how I’m seeing it, lol.
• Xie Yu: He is such a mysterious character, but that makes sense since he’s the primary antagonist. I’m mostly curious about his history with Hongjun’s father. How did they meet? How did they reach an agreement for Xie Yu to take the demonic energy from Hongjun when he was a child?
• The Mission: The "Family" went on a mission without the main duo to retrieve the Sacred Light from An Lushan so that Xie Yu could reclaim his third Demon Seed.
Questions for Future Me (Don't Answer!)
• When did Li Jinglong learn how to see into other people's memories?
• Why did Mergen need Lu Xu to enter his memories and witness his tragic past? How will this be useful for their plan to take down An Lushan?
• When Hongjun saw the vision of the future ten years from now, he saw Li Jinglong with a child!!! I need answers immediately!

5/5stars
This was a reread for me as I've already read this with the fantransaltion (but I'm switching to reading the official translations from here) but UG I LOVE this part of the story - it's when everything truly starts happening. Between hongjun/jinglong finally being together (and being **together** ;) ) and all of the new information we learn and action that happens, it just gets CRAZY. It sets up so much for what is going to happen next

Li Jinglong being the biggest lover boy and wife guy is everything <3
This may be my favorite danmei cover and series’ continuations of the year? It’s definitely one of my all time favorite danmei series~

Much less angsty than the previous volume, this one highlights the absolute joy of being in love. The laughter, the teasing, the smiles that don't fade...Li Jinglong and Hongjun are adorable, horny, and completely devoted to each other. There's a lot of talk of an inevitable tragedy, but these two, and their equally amazing found family, will do anything and everything as they fight for a different fate. As we are only half way through the series, I anticipate a rough ride, but one that will be worth it.

damn. i don't know where to start. i personally really loved the series up until this point, though i always acknowledged that there were always parts of it i disliked. It never went lower than a 4-star rating for me.
but this book felt very slow to begin with, and it felt more like a task i had to get myself to read as a homage to the series so far instead of reading it because i was enjoying it.
One of the main things i enjoyed about this series was the found family aspect of it, and how the main group acted around eachother. But with the growing number of them, more times than not, they were split up and interacted with eachother way less. Which is totally understandable, but when compared to the past books, it felt a bit like the found family idea was pushed to the sidelines.
Though i felt mostly negatively to it for 3/4's of the book, the ending was exciting as i really enjoyed Yuan Kun as a character, and the art of him at the end was GORGEOUS.
but also, i swear Hongjun had a braid in his hair in the past like 3 books and it just dissapeared in this one. am i crazy?? #bringbackthebraid
Anyways because i feel I've been a bit mean to a series i do still cherish, i will finish by saying the cover for this book is the best by far. its really gorgeous. Will likely get the last volume in the future just to know what happens.

volume 4 of legend of exorcisim is unfortunately, not as good as its predecessor, but still good regardless.
our team are back in the capital and trying to uncover the traitors hiding in the emperor's court, while dealing with new and old yao and their nefarious plans.
this volume gives us li jinglong and hongjun's developing romance and relationship - these two really are the cutest together. love how sweet they are with their flirting and banter, and it still works with the high-stakes plot going on.
we also get mergen and lu xu and whatever it is that they have. look... its complicated, so complicated. and I love lu xu and I love mergen and I genuinely feel bad for both of them. especially towards the end, when mergen is being put through the wringer and his fate currently unknown till the next volume.
like i said, I didn’t quite love this volume like I did vol 3. I can't really explain it, but the plot felt all over the place from around halfway through; either following longjun in their adventure, or back in the capital with the rest of the gang. and this split pov did not work too well for me. other than that, it was great.

I think I liked it best so far in this series, but I wish Hongjun wasn't as naive and slow as he is at the moment. I really need some character development and maturity in him when the world around him goes to shit.
Li Jinglong is a Saint. He is so patient and understanding with Hongjun, yet he's also testing his waters and teasing him a little.
And the Spice?! I never expected to be this... 😌👌 Li Jinglong is the king of Dirty Talk, lol.
After finishing this volume I have more questions than answers, so I'm looking forward to the upcoming volumes, even if we have to wait till the end of April for Volume 5 and then there are still three more volumes to come 😭
I really enjoy this series a lot, all the characters are likeable and the story is interesting and exciting.
4.5 stars

“you’re the one i’m looking for”
we finally got the li jinglong love confession and it was so sweet omg. the most enjoyable parts of this book was them being in love. i know the road ahead will be hardships, but i can’t wait for their future happiness.
mergen irritated me a little in this one i genuinely wished he’d just realize his attraction for lu xu already. they make me crazy, so i’m just a bit impatient.
i started to suspect qiu yongsi in this one and i didn’t have any valid reason at first, but he seems so suspicious now… idk of what, but i’m dying to know
now i have to wait until april :/

we are back to the mood I LOVED in book 1 and 2 - the witty funny parts but also the serious questions of life and death. i have only one thing to say: what's with Mergen? please tell me he is okay?
January 3, 2026
la saga est de mieux en mieux plus on avance dans l'histoire ❤️

A bit less into this one that the previous one but it's fine, I'm still enjoying it ! Though I have to admit I'm starting to get a bad feeling...

The age-gap is kinda getting to me. Hongjun reads as very young and maybe its the translation but Li Jinglong as manipulative (especially in their sex scenes).
Loving Lu Xu! Need Mergen to get his head out of his ass!
