Lan Wu is a mermaid demon princess who runs away from home to escape an arranged marriage. While fleeing, she is spotted by a cultivator who tries to kill her. In desperation, she swallows a pill that conceals her demonic aura, but as a side effect, it also sealed her demonic powers.

Ji Lingyue, an aspiring cultivator, happens to be passing through the mountains when she finds Lan Wu listlessly resting beneath a tree. After saving her, Lan Wu decides to accompany Ji Lingyue, and the two of them head to Haochen Mountain to become disciples.

I'm officially dropping this novel and here's why:

Story started out really interesting and great. There were issues between the two main leads, however in hindsight, it is something that could be patched over eventually. Going through the story, what would take place is forgivable and reasonable among the characters.

... more>>
Spoiler

I understand why Ji Lingyue is extremely hurt, though at the same time, Lan Wu had little choice in the matter. She was a demon and had to return to her homeland due to her father's death and the general turmoil that's now present in the merfolk territory. In a way, you can say how all of this came to be due to Lan Wu's departure, but since we're not there yet, we know little of her fault in this matter since we don't exactly know how the prophecy works. If it's fate, then there's really nothing much Lan Wu could do. At the same time, she did lie a lot, and hid a major part of herself from Ji Lingyue and her friend, which leads to their hurt feelings.

[collapse]

Understandable, but what happens later on is just not something I can sit comfortably with. For the gist, I'll be straightforward: the story took an unexpected though predictable turn of Ji Lingyue's deteriorating mental state, and therefore she had a desire to completely bound and trap Lan Wu with her. And she succeeds. My real issue is how this was portrayed in the story, and how it's so glossed over within it as if a mere single heart-to-heart "let's be honest with each other<3" talk will bury the very present issue. I also dislike how this completely unbalanced relationship (in terms of control and autonomy) got compared to dao companions as though Lan Wu (who is basically the s*ave in this contract) is doing all the things she described herself would do- (spoiler for detailed stuff)

Spoiler

Because Ah Li, this sweet summer child, doesn't understand exactly how beast contracts works. Lan Wu, by this point, is already bound by Ji Lingyue with a beast contract. She herself knows it's an issue and not something Ah Li should probably know her master just got subjected to. But she did describe the things she would do as "stay by her side, protect her, " and something more romantically deceiving things that led to Ah Li assuming they became dao companions. That too, however, is an issue.

[collapse]

-willingly. In which she was not. Everything had been forced upon her, and there's not nearly enough instances to clearly point out how big of an issue this is that comes off infuriating. Especially considering that she gets r*ped just after the contract was forced upon her. And yes, I'm not kidding. This happened. It's within the story.

Spoiler

For further detail, Ji Lingyue basically treated her as a s*x s*ave, using Lan Wu to pleasure herself while Lan Wu pleaded for her to stop.

[collapse]

And Ji Lingyue holds little to no regret over her actions, not the forceful binding, not the assault, she only feels bad for herself when Lan Wu, very rightfully, got mad at her for forcing her like this. And even then, the way the story tried handling this is nearly not enough for me to see Ji Lingyue in a good light, or even forgive her. Lan Wu may forgive her, but I, as a reader, absolutely cannot. I'm appalled, disgusted, and utterly dismayed by this direction, to the point that I'm hoping after I forget this novel, that the couple never gets a happy ending, and Lan Wu can instead achieve her own happy ending, free, and with a partner that would respect her, her circumstances, and especially her body and autonomy.

Dear readers, if you're planning to give this story a try, you are free to do so, but by the second part, heavy warning ahead. That's it. Goodbye. Reply to me if there's a the good news my girlie Lan Wu doesn't end up with Ji Lingyue. <<less

(Check the edits made at the end of review)

This is honestly really good so far. The fighting scenes are well written, the plot flows smoothly, and the cast of characters are relatively interesting. Pretty addicting read. The relationship between the two leads is sweet and quick. The plot is super interesting as of now and I'm just waiting for crap to hit the fan once everyone finds out Lan Wu's identity. The FL (Ji Lingyue) doesn't hide her hate for demons WHATSOEVER, mermaids not being an exception so... more>> I'm predicting the fall out won't be pleasant.

Since there's only a few chapters out rn, the story has been pretty fluffy despite a few setbacks with monsters. I don't really like cultivation novels all that much, but the cultivation aspect is easy to understand and entertaining. Lingyue will definitely be possessive and extremely obsessive over Lan Wu in future chapters (already calling it lol) as of now, she's just protective and a genuinely good friend who's in love.

It's also smut, which is definitely a factor. Smut is good but it's personally not a reason I would choose to read this story as the plot carries. But it's definitely a plus. Translation is peak as always, thanks translator (s).

Edit: Oh nahhh, I let the book simmer for a bit and when I started reading again, the MC got... assaulted and ens*aved. However, I will say that they both hurt each other in many ways. Also, the assault gets overlooked and not addressed... at all. Pretty much, stuff happens, Ji Lingyue fell asleep, and Lan Wu started going on her with her shit, taking Yue with her. They have a heart to heart discussion and somewhat reconcile I guess but not really and Lan Wu is still ens*aved. Would I still recommend? I'm gonna let is simmer for a bit and check back after it hits 70-100 to see if anything changes with their relationship/their issues get addressed. The plot was interesting and had me hooked and with such a high quality translation, I'm hesitate to let it go. Btw, assault chapters is 44-46 (the translator put a r*pe tag so readers can avoid it) <<less

This story has had me on edge for so long... the story was alright in start even though they added the glimpse into the future for the first chapter which kind of put me on edge until they made it back to that point in the story. But as soon as I thought it was going to get better... it turned into straight victim blaming and r*pe.... honestly I felt like sh*t after reading that.

Spoiler

the MC and FL had a really nice relationship for the first half of the story, with a little problem of the FLs hate for demons (which MC is) but other than that it was fine. However, one day the MCs sister and friend came to take her back because her father died and her identity was revealed as a demon so she had no choice but to leave the FL and sect. But you know what, the FL is now fully blaming MC so when they met again the FL attacked and then ENs*aveD MC, which btw was probably my breaking point but I was near the end of the available chapters so I decided to carry on reading but guess what... it gets worse, the FL lead after capturing MC then r*pes her and turns her into a cultivation furnace... crazy. AND even after finding out the reason why MC had to leave she STILL forced MC to continue being a s*ave for another 3 YEARS.

[collapse]

Honestly, I am extremely disappointed with this story. It had a lot of potential and a nice description which made me think it was going to be a well thought out story but no.

I recommend that you guys don't waste your time on this story unless you are a freak who loves the MC being forced to do things she doesn't want🤮

PS. "Devoted love interest" my arse <<less
