It's now 12/28 and ... I just ... this book was a fucking goddamn mess. It says "book one" though ... I can't see how there's book 2 but who the hell knows there can always be more mess.
I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT think nothero made up for all his shit. And I get a lot of it wasn't his fault - the biggest " " thing - although I felt like the goddamn kidnapping FL's kid and him eloping with the princess was the biggest thing - and there he could've fucking COMMUNICATED WITH THE FL. Even goddamn leaving her a note. But nooo then there wouldn't be plot and angst! Whatever just the fact that it had to happen was big enough. The huge misunderstanding and FL just FORGIVING HIM like nothing still makes me mad - like are you fucking kidding me HE FUCKED UP INSANELY. Even if he had good reasons for his actions he SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I just ... really have questions about this author. Ugh. Anyway. Kinda impressed with everything that happened it was truly like nonstop action but it was mostly cuz everyone is RELENTLESSLY AWFUL and just want to kill the FL, the ML, or both. Though mostly FL. I'm still mad she didn't end up with TianPi. It was annoying to stick with a trashass unworthy guy. Even though sure he became "the strongest" which I felt really unbelievable too like 🙄 sure he's gifted but somehow ONLY he improves and not any of these other literally 10,000 year old geniuses? The LITERAL GUY somehow formed from heaven and earth? Give me a fucking break. Honestly I'd prefer to give this 1.5 stars.
It was clearly emotionally compelling considering how worked up I am. Just there was too much stupid thrown in. Too many issues that could/should've been more maturely dealt with (again, author questions). And ... xuanhuan is not my genre/I should've looked into it more - and also now I know to try to mostly avoid it. I think I took so many angry screenshots and sent angry texts while reading it like "DO YOU SEE THIS FUCKERY." There were also a lot of what could've been interesting plotlines that were dropped and instead ugh was followed. I really felt TianPi was wronged and that stupid hare-god-crane-dude ... I want to slap him upside the head about a hundred times. ML also deserves to take a baseball bat to the dick about 1000 times. He'll be fine. I also still want him to explode and reform at least eight more times. I was so fucking annoyed he reformed by the next chapter. He never suffered enough.
This was definitely a D read. ~*~*~ C13 ok so by c2(?) I figured I’d picked up a xuanhuan inadvertently. Also def not reading this on TR; cycling through 2 dif translations to try to counter the errors in each. => why … does her ex think the “adulterer” would come for the kid? Like … also what an unbearable ass doesn’t even care his wife was raped on their wedding night & hated her instead. Also who IS the guy please don’t tell me it’s the hero cuz who would DO something like that. Looking forward to the mother/son reunion even though FL is v different now. Also who TF is the dude in the green gourd
C20 😒😡 ok I literally angry sighed like I get wanting to treat you son but coercing his doctor isn’t the best way why not at least try the next day or even two? And then riding in to disturb the treatment what if you killed him? There’s a difference between being forceful and stupid. (Throw the prince ex away what a manbaby. I hope he falls in love with FL and spends the book eating his heart out & helping her while she ignores him 😒)
C22 massive plot hole like can’t FL just fucking go into the gourd & grow whatever it is she needs instead of going to the “medicine king” or whatever like duh at least ASK your shifu who has all these herbs and seeds. 😡🔪 I hate stupid ass shit like this. Lolololol *sigh* I just needed to rant - after the last part of the previous chapter & a few paragraphs of this one FL finally is like “oh I can ask Tianpi/shifu” 🙄
C28 so TianPi is ... using FL’s presence/power to crack out it the gourd? O.o Also ugh her family sucks I hope her dad isn’t awful
Hmmm c53; clever emperor but is he good or not? 😱 Also lol so far FL is collecting guys unknowingly. Her ~shifu Tianpi(?), Yun Shimo who 🙄 is acting like an elementary school kid who likes someone by being an asshole, Ji Feng … and her former husband isn’t worth mentioning. The first battle she did was cool - wonder what other tricks she has 💯 AND now she’s Jing Hua Princess with her own manor! 😱💯 (can she live there alone?! 💪💯)
C57 😱 well the evil princess died pretty quickly & easily. … ~now what…?
C58 siiiiiigh I knew it was too easy. Evil princess is alive. I hope FL figures it out soon or she’s deader than dead 😖
C65 😱 well that puts a period on the first/most evil princess - and the former husband. But 😖 the empress is on to her - what happened to NanWang’s orders for evidence to be destroyed?!
C78 seriously like I just… can’t grok who the original body owner was how could she be so stupid as to be … well ok I guess - like they jump between timid to maybe mentally delayed but then also so lascivious that she was basically a gross pervert - although 🙄😒 all she did was stare at people (the drooling though like 😒 seriously author come on). And HOW long is that going to drag obviously she’s different now. Whatever. Stupid boys.
C79 😱😅 O.O those are my expressions. Lol omfg TianCi a) really lost his memories b) more importantly OMFG NAN WANG JUST TOLD HIM HE’S HIS DAD YUN SHIMO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? 😱😱😱🫠 🙄😒 look I get BingYi is his loyal servant but Nan Wang & FL are now the current rank yes? 😒
C80 dude WTF does TianCi(TC) know shooting qi electricity balls at Liu-dude WTF. … complete with … laughing powder?! (Also seriously get over yourself Liu 🙄)
C85 what a shitty birthday banquet. Mad the empress got away with everything and I SUPER hate the twin “guards.” Wish they’d go off with 2nd sister and die 😡
C86 🙄 took the guards long enough to realize their “goddess” is a snake. One wonders how they stayed alive so long 😒
C87 O.o Tianpi is … maybe a demon? Or 😜 genie?! Lolol Tianci the matchmaker. … Guess… Nan Wang is ML considering he’s already “dad.” Glad the Ji family is on to the (uncle?) Yang who wants to try & take over 😒😡
C93 😒😡 FL’s dad is a POS & honestly WHY won’t she tell him bitchass 2nd concubine colluded with the empress at this point instead he misunderstands her cuz he’s a biased asshole
C97 ok how did YSM dispel that super poison? Also I still hate FL’s dad 😒 and empress’s secret guard & that poisoned both better have horrific deaths
*sigh* c100; I told a friend earlier I feel like a man wrote this what with all the “women are so weak and can’t withstand pain” and now again FL is 50% relentlessly stupid 😖🤦🏻♀️😒🤦🏻♀️
C104 oof what a battle - anxious about ML’s blood on the jade (have decided YSM is ML) I mean he’s bitchy but constantly does help FL, told her kid he’s his dad 😅 and fed her his blood to keep her from dying if thirst 😅 so
C109 😖🤦🏻♀️ omg I get TC is a kid but you’re going to get your mom murderized. Also WTF with his super power? (And O.o uhhh from his *groin* o.O - lol ok other book says “dantian”) … and that (shady?) prince with all those evil qi artists 😒
C123(?) 😅 surprise you’re engaged. Seriously whatever chapter all that boat shit was too much & these perpetrators are never punished 😡 I need to know more about that 11,000 “hare” & Tianpi too.
*sigh* c127 FL just tossing away the precious prescription like why is she so stupid & such an asshole sometimes It’s just so stupid how TF do people think killing FL means they can get the divine herbs? Also ~plothole why not just say “hey only the grower can pluck these flowers people have tried and failed” - like duh. Also her dad continues to be a POS. Letting the two sisters go to the nunnery is also ugh gonna bite her though she can’t kill them… Ugh
C141 omgggggggg ML spreading the rumor FL is pregnant to her face 😱☠️ - just court her normally you dummy 🤦🏻♀️😹☠️
C145(?) yay first kiss!
C147 - I wonder what the story of the abbess is. Also we so is Tianci’s biological father that gross dark sect 11th branch leaderdude?!
C148 uh shit is Hua MengShi now super powerful? 😱 … also lol ML and his kisses. Come on author. Seriously though 🙄😒 fucking evil sister HOW was this all FL’s fault just ugh.
*breathes* *sighs* c163 and there it is trash ass emperor trying to split up ML & FL for his stupid daughter that Qoing Yi or whatever & her sect need to be eliminated 😡 all these fucking people
😒 don’t love the end of c190 - also is FL the reincarnation of Tianpi and the hare’s love?
C201 welp I want to incinerate “ML” & the emperor both. Stole her jade gourd, her shifu, AND her child - AND “eloped” with the evil princess. Even giving up 1/3 of his life in her place isn’t good enough. Also if he is ML way to leave her widowed early you piece of shit. Then there’s the emperor who destroyed her meridians when she was THREE then as an adult when she took on whatever demon sect that would’ve made everyone puppets tried to kill her as soon as she won. Twice. I hope all the people turn against him.
Also? I hope actual ML is Tianpi or someone else. Give FL a proper hero glow up 😡 I don’t care about YSM’s “difficulties” 😒🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
C211 I actually hate guy so much I don’t even want to bother with hating him I just need him to suffer for nine lives & have to watch FL living her best life with Not Him. Also I want her to cultivate into the highest level of immortality. 💯
C213 oh apparently shitbird princess chased ML. Don’t care he can fuck off forever. They’re still married. Even though he never touches her - lied & said he has to be a virgin. Duh just drug her or something. Fucker.
C230 ugh I knew FL would regret not dealing with her sister. Ugh. (ALSO WHY DIDN’T SHE LOOK BACK AT THE REMARKABLE BAI-GUY 😩) anyway I also extra wave to beat the shit out of YSM cuz now TianCi is like an idiot out in the world.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ C232 FL lets her shitty evil sister escape AGAIN. AYFKM. Sure she severed her hand cuz ES was trying to kill here son but that’s it?! You’re leaving yourself ENDLESS TROUBLE. 😖😖😖 it’s so frustrating how not bright this FL is cuz she doesn’t really have any strong backers! SHE is largely the strong backer. … she does have awesome friends though. Ji Feng & HuangFu(?) Xuan are totally aces. And XianJi is… still mysterious. I’m sad there was no fate with Bai.
C234 oh wow so not-ML really DID ask shit-princess to “elope” with him. Nine lives of hell fire is too good for him. I truly don’t think I’ve ever hated a ~hero more and the level of disdain is unreal.
C242 not-ML only now questioning himself & his dad saying FL will forgive him ARE YOU INSANE. I’m so mad at this author. Suddenly TianPi is only evil and creepy in the gourd? 😡 such lazy plotting.
C245 these fucking people. These goddamn princesses and MingShu WTAF. And Luowhatever 8th?9th? Sect lord WHAT IS HAPPENING. FL needs a spy network 😖 Why can’t the evil people bring each other down damn.
C247 QianYang is going to be a problem too I’m certain she’s stopped taking the pills. These stupid fucking people. I also want to chop up YSM. ALSO TianPi has lost his demonic whatever. And taught FL how to stop him. Meanwhile why is it never questioned why the rabbit was trapped in a formation? And why does it only really help trash ass YSM 😡
C271 can’t remember what chapter he appeared but I’m disappointed Bai QianXue has been so low key. He’s still my current favorite choice for ML though I know it’s that trash ass YSM. So ok whatever QianYue’s grandfather stole the purple bead & fed it to her & TC has some bead in him but fucking TELL FL what you’re doing/why. I laughed so hard when YSM exploded I wheezed and choked and reared up. Even checked a different translation & read the good paragraph 3x. I’m so mad at how all that was “resolved.”
C278 - dunno if it’s author, translator(s) - I checked 2 versions - or I’m insane but YSM just drags FL away & says let’s get married & I’m certain her reply calling him a genius was sarcasm but he’s like “we’re of one mind!” WTAF. Also I feel like the protagonists are way too easily used by this other royalty - “go be my bitch & deal with the demon sect” uh why? 😒 I still like BQX most at this time. COME ON GUY STEP IT UP AND FL GROW A BRAIN! And 🙄 finally FL sees what her half sister is up to. Ugh these dummies.
C280 XuanJi is back! C281 hmmmm is BQX gonna pair up with Ji Jing? I don’t hate this if XuanJi is just as good if not better than BQX… C281 ok I’m back to really thinking this was written by a dude or a VERY young girl. YSM being jealous & forcefully kissing FL and suddenly she’s like “oh sure we’ll get married as soon as you want” WTAF dude no. Also duh MASSIVE plothole while YSM says his WIFE doesn’t remember stuff EVERYONE in their former country knows he eloped with the princess so… god I hate him & this author is 😒😡
Ugh c286 & these stupid fucking people just let in Hua MengShi but wtf LL - what good is FL’s “subduing technique” if people can still constantly betray her. And I HATE how FL just stupidly goes with whatever YSM says. 😒 and so much for their arrogance. This whole goddamn book is a precautionary tale against hanging threads. And the stupid fucking kid keeps bringing up the past to QianYue(?) she’ll definitely recover her memories & try to kill everyone again. Fucking idiots.
C288 well at least FL was suspicious & remained vigilant. YSM is only NOW saying “oh we should kill her yo prevent problems.” YA THINK?!?! Bitch has been trying to kill you for like 285 chapters!!!
C289 wait so 🙄 evil half sister’s body is dead but her soul is still in the mirror so technically she can be reduced?!? Also glad to see the Murong family isn’t stupid or evil but they let that bitch HMS go on so long 😡
C306 Omfg ok I get why FL shot down elder Xuan (tho I still think her relationship is 🙄 and weak 😒) but YSM WTF without these elders you’re going to die you idiot.
😕 c311 I get why XuanJi takes that forgetting pill but it makes me sad
C327 damn this book is fifty-eleven messes. So IDEK which chapter was their second failed wedding but oh surprise YSM is the rapist of the past life but he was out of his mind cuz his mom stuffed half the purple bead in him AND drugged him cuz the only way for him then to not explode from the force of the bead was to have sex with someone 🙄. Bitch I get your husband was basically dead & your son was dying but fucking find a prostitute. And I’m so annoyed these assholes keep saying TianPi is an evil demon, uh yeah cuz Y’ALL tricked him into eating the magical pearl that would turn him into one. Fuckers. But anyway after 2.5 years YSM is back and I’m so irritated at how FL is all “I hate you but I LOOOOOOOOVE you” 🙄😒🔪 also unfair is how only YSM has improved by leaps & bounds and 🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄 everyone else is the same level. And no surprise FL is the reincarnation of the peach fairy - wtf everyone says “two lives ago” yo it’s been 10,000 years…
C328 oh! Forgot why I did that infodump about 327 - fucking asshole rabbitgodthing why is it always on YSM’s side when ***FL*** is the one who saved it?!?!? Ingrate. I’m team HuaZun on this one who cares rabbitbirdcranething eliminated the devil-dom after finding out the peach fairy had died & TianPi was sealed. FL forgives everyone too easily. 😒😡 Oh *snickersnort* rabbitcrane kept away cuz he was afraid he’d fall in love again. Pfft.
