Qin Lingxiao

Outside of the main four characters and the three villains (two of whom are just different brands of garbage, yes I included QL), everyone else is kind of just... there. Wait, I can't even remember most of the others who showed up and I just finished this. trust me I defs liked the plot and all, some of it was... pretty forgettable tho lol

I think a lot of information was told to us near the end like closely then I would say like from chapter 90 and beyond or even 80 I can't remember. Like we learned about the gods and then we learned about the specific Mastermind God but even then like even though there wasn't too much foreshadowing prior to that about him. It actually made sense. It was just a proper time. And it did make sense to some degree but it was very very slight foreshadowing because you did question sometimes like why would the old emperor do this right. Because he was promised immortality by another God. Exactly so then obviously the next question is why does the God want to take 200 years off of the imperial family and their dynasty... And although that answer to the question wasn't fully foreshadowed the fact that that question could exist in your mind prior to these chapters is a sense of foreshadowing although the knowledge that we gain within these last couple chapters does feel rushed because it wasn't told to us prior in detail. But it was important and I noticed that they couldn't mention you know like they were fighting over a girl like this girl was in the underworld and refused to reincarnate. Like if they told that from the beginning then we would have been like oh yeah the main character is that girl. And we'd also would know that like okay so it's like the Helen of Troy these two guys are fighting over a girl like we got it we understand. So I understand why they left some information until the very end because it would be just too easy to figure it out otherwise. So even though it did feel like the information was kind of a lot near the end it still was well bound because there was still times where I felt the guy was still learning new information and still making new connections from the informations without being told. Like connections to the past chapters. Or connections to the possibility of what could happen in the future or what could happen in the next couple of chapters. And seeing if that really unfolds or not. I think one of the most surprising things that happened that despite being told everything pretty much the whole lore and everything I think the most surprising thing is how does she get back to 200 years (Even though we knew she was going to probably go back to 200 years ago from the beginning really and that she's not going to stay in the past). So how does she get back. And in what way. And what does that future look like. Like that those were still questions that we were wondering up until like the last three chapters. And that's good writing. The fact that honestly the way she came back was pretty like unique to me. I think if you look at the nuances it of it it's quite interesting. I felt first that she just hop back to her parallel universe that was my initial thought which would have been so f*cking interesting. Because that's not something we expected for her to go back to the same past that she came from. Which meant that she just jumped back to her parallel universe. But that wasn't the case LOL so I kind of got like bait and switched but in that way that was also refreshing because you know I got like mind twisted in the wrong way LOL and so when they explained it I was like oh it's more simple than that okay. So that was refreshing in its own way.

God

the ML lost his feelings for her in a while

Happy ending. Totally happy and absolutely deserved

At her core, she's kindhearted, but she was raised in a harsh environment where it was drilled into her to avoid any empathy, to always be self-perseving above all but her nature itself is so warm... it's funny how she constantly battles against her kind instincts at first.

Completely in denial, at some point I don't think she even believed it herself, she was just saying stuff to muddle through her denial, so she felt so human, seeing her stubbornly trying to keep her defenses up, absolutely afraid but, also, so so brave.

I do wish the villian could have suffered way more, he did suffer though, make no mistake, he ain't a match for our leads together but... I hated him so much, I wanted like eternal condemnation
