Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Everyone says “like father, like son”, but Gu Fuyou has mediocre talent. So mediocre that when people see her, they mock her, wondering how Gu Wanpeng could have such a daughter.

She was so ordinary until she was accepted into the Xuan Miao Sect, with some suspecting that Gu Wanpeng pulled strings for her behind the scenes.

During a beast-taming class, the master was teaching disciples how to summon spirit beasts.

Someone, trying to mock her, chuckled, “I’ve heard your father’s golden spirit bird can attain the nascent soul stage. Like father, like daughter, right? I bet the spirit beast you summon will be equally impressive.”

She started the summoning formation, but there was no movement for a long time.

Everyone laughed, “She can’t even summon the lowest-level young beast.” This was beyond mediocrity; it was downright useless.

Suddenly, the formation emitted a blinding light, and fog covered the ground. Everyone gasped in surprise.

She summoned something, not a bird or beast, but a living person.

This person was the unparalleled genius of Xuan Miao Sect.

Even she didn’t expect it, and the summoned person looked equally bewildered.

In a sudden impulse, she used her ring finger’s blood to mark the person’s forehead and named her ‘Nanzhu Jun’.

The master intervened, shouting, “Stop, she’s your senior sister!”

But it was too late; they had already formed a pact.

First volume: 10/10

Second volume: 8.5/10

Third volume: 7/10

... more>> Which results in a total 8.875 if you consider that the first volume is nearly half of the whole story, which I'm shamelessly rounding up to a 5/5.

I had to make this split scoring, because the contents of the story of each volume felt very different for me 😔

Anyways... What a wonderfully emotional and gripping story. Definitely one of the most painful things I've read ;-;

My favorite part was the first volume. It was fun and cute, with some good yearning.

The main characters and also side characters are really well fleshed out. I wish we could have seen more of the side characters though, it felt like some got pushed to the side near the end, sadly forgotten. Especially since all of them were really interesting.

The politics were not too complicated to follow for me personally, which is positive for me.

The fighting scenes were really cool, kept me on the edge and had the perfect length, never dragging on.

Generally, the descriptions of the world and things happening were amazing and enjoyable to read, giving a good immersion.

It was satisfying, how the story elements were woven together in the end!

I feel like the time between the first and second volume could have been explored more. It's a missed opportunity in my opinion. Meanwhile the third volume seemed like the author wanted to finish this novel as quickly as possible. Making it feel rushed, like it was skipping over certain characters and their plots.

Also rear the end I wished there would be more cute interactions between Gu Fuyou and Zhong Michu. The second and third volumes were very sparse with their slow burn. I'd say, the romance was not the main plot of this story. But maybe that was just my impression. Either way, all their interactions were lovely!

Come for the GL, and stay for the amazing fantasy story. Or come for the fantasy story, and get introduced to the amazing GL :D

Also this was first the Xianxia I read, although I already knew some basics beforehand. The fantasy world was built super interestingly and explained well. So I'm happy with this being a good introduction to the genre! <<less

This was such a lovely read, I think it's one of the best baihe I've read, the world building, the characters, the plot, everything was so we'll fleshed out and laid out.

The author knew perfectly well how to intertwine honey like sweetness with gut twisting bitterness, this is a story about a girl who everyone looked down upon soaring to the sky, but not you usual type, it talks heavy expectations, family issues, human greediness, innocent love.

Gu Fuyou is unrestrained, cheerful and yet, she's so stubborn, she will protect who... more>> she cherishes and once her goal is set she will go through hell to achieve it. She's sharp minded and scheming when needed, she's smart, brilliant but with a sincere heart.

Zhong Michu is full of curiosity towards the unknown, always forbidden to her, she's upright, clearheaded, gentle and extremely doting, yet she's also one with a big devoted heart.

A story about revenge and coming to terms with the unchangeable, a story about rebirth, but literally, more so of the rebirth of a deeply wounded soul that finds new meaning in life and rushes to explore it once more, walking with baby steps towards love and healing.

It's so beautifully written, everything, from the pain, the love, the despair, the healing, some parts left me feeling devastated, they left me feeling such a devastating void, but I guess the journey itself also takes you to heal alongside the characters.

And I thinks that's so beautiful.

As for the love between Zhong Michu and Gu Fuyou, it so sweet, I love it so much, they are literally made for each other, their relationship was so lovely, I ship them sm

It's a wonderful read, highly, highly recommend!!!! <<less

Interesting premise and the story has gotten even more exciting once the characters have entered Xian Luo, an entirely different world where rare spiritual beasts exist within wild and dangerous habitats. The tropes are familiar with the MC being a spunky and resourceful type which is a contrast to the cold and tsundere FL who has inexplicably become bonded to her like a spiritual beast.

There is a great power divide between the MC who has low cultivation but is brilliant in creating talismans and the FL who is a golden... more>> core cultivator and a student prodigy in their sect. While we expect the FL to constantly come to the Mc's aid this seems to be flipped on its head at the moment as they undergo challenges within Xian Luo and the FL is tested to her limits and is on the brink of death.

I'm a sucker for cultivation baihe so this is right up my alley. Can't wait to see how this develops. The translation is also impeccable. <<less

I've barely started reading this story and actually, I tend to dislike this genre. HOWEVER, as luck would have it, I'm bored with nothing else to do so on a whim, decided to read it. Oh boy, smart move on my part. Ha ha ha

I'm not sure how the story will go but in terms of translating, it's outstanding. If nothing else, I want to give encouragement and thanks to the translator because s/he is doing a marvelous job. This is an instance where the translating is propping up the... more>> story. Many thanks!

This is not to say that the story is bad. Far from that. It's just that I'm only onto chapter 6 so I can't say for sure but so far, I think it's very good. I'm not familiar with cultivation, sects, etc etc but if you're someone who loves this type of story, I have no doubt you will enjoy this. I'm someone who doesn't normally, but I'm having a hoot of a time right now. In fact, it's very enjoyable! The MC is young, lively and very lovable and you can't help but root for her. The FL is cool, distant and on another level altogether. Waiting to see how these 2 come together is going to be really exciting. Huzzah!!! ha ha ha. I hope it continues to be as good as I'm thinking it is.

If you were like me and glossing over this story title, stop what you're doing and start reading this. The rate of chapters being translated is very quick and the quality of translations is beyond compare. Thank you.

***

Binge-read to the current chapter of 55 in 2 days. I guess that should tell you what I think of the story, right???!! lol

This has been Xianxia 101... I'm still not too crazy about this particular genre. Also, this is not a simple story. In fact, I feel pretty s*upid because there's a plethora of terms I'm unfamiliar with and there's not a shortage of characters, either. My poor confuzzled brain!

The relationship between the 2 main characters is complex, beautiful, heartwarming and damn! It's the very definition of "slow-burn". They barely recognize the feelings they're starting to develop for each other so it's gonna be a good long while before they even attempt to let the other know what is truly in their hearts. Their interactions and growing affections for one another is really riveting. It's like tinder (not the dating app)... one little spark and we might have ourselves a raging forest fire. At least that's what I'm hoping. ha ha ha

Now for the long wait for more chapters to get translated. Thank you so much :) <<less

(As of Ch. 62) The story is unendingly heart wrenching and more than worth your time. If you approach and notice the first few chapters are slightly uninventive, DON'T let that discourage you from reading further. These characters undergo many changes, and the plot doesn't seem to be giving them the cliché 'easy outs' we see in many other web novels. This makes the characters' lives seem much more real- and worthy of stirring emotion in readers.

I greatly hope that it continues to meet the standard it has set.

One... more>> of my favourite aspects of the story so far:
Spoiler

Powers given to our main characters come with heavy baggage. With the knowledge that no character is omnipotent- everyone has weakness that can be exploited- you can really feel the stakes.

Also, who doesn't love my darling baby Ah Fu?

This is an extremely well-written novel. No moment in the novel makes you feel like a filler, random bs, or ass-pull. The story arcs are extremely coherent from the beginning to the end with a very good pacing. It's like the author has planned everything clearly from the start and just follows through with her plan with no intention of dragging out the content for benefit.

The novel is plot-driven; the romance is not entirely the main focus but plays a big part in advancing the story. The plot itself is... more>> intriguing enough to grab the reader's attention, but the main strength of the novel is undoubtedly the way the romance and the angst are written. The romance is slow-burn and feels natural, and it's expressed mainly through the actions of the characters instead of just sweet talks. In fact, not until near the end of the novel that you hear them express their love through direct words, but we know their feelings have been around for a while, and the characters themselves also know about their partner's affection. And when the angst comes, it hits hard. You can really feel the emotions of the characters during their tragedies, which is my favorite thing about the novel. The ending is also fulfilling and satisfying, so you don't have to worry about getting an abrupt ending after investing so much into the novel.

All in all, a must-read novel even if you don't like GL. <<less

This novel is about two young girls who struggle in the cruel world of cultivation whilst dealing with complicated family relationships and their own emotions. That is how presents itself in beginning at least.

The story as of chapter 62 is a grim piece with mentions of s*avery, r*pe, depression, su*cide as well as war. While the earlier chapters where fairly light hearted the tone changed all to quickly. I was not prepared for how quickly the story changed its tone and as I am really not a fan of the... more>> misery trip I feel that a rating for 3 out of 5 is appropriate.

The translation is decent although there were several oddities at times with sentences not fitting the action at the moment or sentences being repeated for no reason.

The world building is all in all nice but nothing special. It is what you'd would expect from other Xianxia novels.

The characters are relatable and likeable aside the antagonists, although other characters aside the two main characters were not given enough time to be completely developed properly, which relates to the prior shift in tone. <<less

I have been following this series for a while, and I knew from the beginning that I would enjoy it, the dialogue is fresh and not overused, and the setting and world building is done well, I love how the story is fleshed out with politics and corruption, instead of being a straight romance, but either way, I wouldn’t mind. The author allows for characters to grow apart, and still be able to connect even though they are different from where they left off which is realistic, and not done... more>> enough in this genre. The characters actually have development. The translation does it justice, and it is not painful to read, a godsend. <<less

This is some good stuff up to the current chapter (c43). It's definitely worth the read and feels like it's really good, but I can't say for sure exactly how good it will be until it's finished. Xianxia stories often have lackluster second-halves after all. As it stands I give it 4 stars, but depending on how it ends it can either go up or down.

wow just wow, not much novels managed to fully captured my admiration, but this one did among just only a few others like FGEP and the likes.

the depth of the characters and personalities was amazing, the romance slow burn was of course the cherry on top.

I came back to tell you how good it was. It's been a long time since I've found something really worth every minute of reading. This novel has a lot of good reviews and ratings and it is justified. I won't describe much here, I'll just say that it was a good and interesting adventure.

To call it a novel, to be honest, the language does not turn much. This is definitely a relationship story, but romance is just a bonus. There are a lot of topics that are touched upon,... more>> to a greater extent, the relationship in the family and to children. It's a very difficult novel in this sense, because it made me cry starting in the middle of the novel. And if I thought it was just a one-time thing, oh ahaha, I can say that I cried a lot here. For me, this is an indicator of a high-quality novel that can evoke such a range of emotions. The novel is very similar to Clear and Muddy Loss of Love. But there is a difference, of course. It doesn't hurt that much. And most of the novel smooths out the sad moments, but there is a lot of sadness here.

Characters 10000/5

The plot is 10000/5

Morality 1000/5

Mental -100/5

In general, I really liked it. This is an immediate gl novel.

This story is primarily about family love, revenge and harmony. I really liked how the author did not justify the MC, but rather the opposite. As the author did not let go of what happened in the end and we got a really antihero, who became one due to circumstances. How at one time we got a broken, but still the same hero we met at the beginning of the story. Generally speaking about the main couple, I can say that both characters were delighted. But still more probably FL. Such a tender and devoted love. I envy MC.

Spoiler

Yes, FL falls in love first. In any case, she is the first to understand this, and you will cry at exactly what moment she realized it. This moment broke me.

[collapse]

Bottom line, the novel is definitely worth it. It's a very difficult job. The author literally thought everything through from the very beginning. And at the end you're like, "Wow, so that's why and why it was." I will definitely read this novel again later. <<less

What a ride! The plot, character building, wording and the slow burn romance, it all truly was worth it in the end.

This author has made me learn a lot of lessons throughout the book. As there is a beginning there is an end, even if yr doing the most evil deed in the world, in the back of your mind love is still in your heart, always in the corner of your eye and never too far away.

Live in the present and treasure what you have now, the author writes... more>> great perspectives on love, loss and life. Great writing on the expression of anger and moments of wary, shows that the human mind is fickle and emotions are always changing.

I will always love these characters in my heart and when I see this book again, I will think about them fondly in hopes of reading it again

This book has made me cry and laugh multiple times from beginning to the end, sometimes in disbelief and sometimes in sorrow, I truly love these characters from the bottom of my heart. I love u Author! <<less

There's a lot of things to love and few things to dislike with this novel.

What I really love the most is the quality of translation, which really surprised me as the as the updates came really quick. I also love the characters, especially the MC and FL!

FL is cool and awesome, but is not the cold overbearing type who is invincible or strongest/wealthiest in the world, she is someone who can lose terribly and can suffer a lot of loss; MC is smart and charismatic, but not to the point... more>> that she can do no wrong and will be perfect until the end, she is someone who you love and hate and then love again because she is deeply flawed and her circumstances isn't easy.

The plot, world-building and characters definitely hooked me in, but as the plot progressed it seemed not as fleshed out as it was in the beginning.

This only became a problem in Volume 2,
Spoiler

after Gu Fuyou reincarnated.

The biggest flaw would be... the world became smaller, and the worldbuilding that the author worked on introducing just went poof.

What about Dongli and Xuan Miao Sect? She was a very interesting character that got sidetracked after the extra chapters, surely someone entrusted by Yunran Xuanzun to monitor her greatest enemy's dragon daughter would've been a formidable cultivator. She just got... married off and written off, a few chapters detailing Zhong Michu's and Dongli's responsibility to rebuild Xuan Miao Sect would've been nice as we've spent the first volume reading about Xuan Miao Sect and various cultivators within the sect. It feels a bit unresolved and lacking to me, Xuan Miao Sect's revival deserved a chapter detailing its situation after Zhong Michu became the Dragon King or after her marriage to Gu Fuyou, or when she reached immortalization because then that would mean she attained a higher cultivation level than her master and mother. Yunran Xuanzun, Ji Chaoling and majority of the cultivators literally sacrificed themselves for Zhong Michu.

What about Ah Fu and Yi'er after Zhong Michu came out of seclusion? Being the child of MC and FL, she had very little characterization and scenes other than stalking her mother. Reading about a grown up Yi'er with Ah Fu would've been nice, they're both sole survivors; Yi'er is the only golden dragon and Ah Fu the only remaining Zhenmao.

I still highly recommend this novel, amazing translation and I love the dynamic of MC&FL! Great read and enjoyable read if you like the more serious type of reading. <<less

This is honestly one of the best novels I've ever read on novel updates - it feels professionally written, and I almost wish this was adapted into a tv series. The translation is amazingly well done without the awkwardness that sometimes occurs when translating from chinese to english.

It's a love story but the romance is not the main feature of this story although it plays a major part. It's a tale of epic proportions and I truthfully think this deserves an adaptation.

Got me hooked that I lose sleep (it was worth it). Interesting complex characters and world building. There is definitely some flaws in the novel. After volume 2 it felt like author didn't focus on world building that much anymore since in my opinion it could be expanded/give information more, giving more interesting world building and volume 3 wrapped nicely to the end of the story. However all in all it was very enjoyable that it probably became my favorite and also comfort novel that I will reread sometimes in... more>> the future. 4.5/5 would recommend to read it :) <<less

This story feels like a breath of fresh air, it's Xanxia and gl but without the dull overused same plots. It has a distinct story, nice characterization, and it's not afraid of not having the protagonists not be the most perfect destined people who always win.

That's right, the protagonists do not always win here, they even lose significantly and more importantly they lose in a meaningful way, it's not symbolic losses you can sweep under the rug.

It's not a perfect read, I feel volume 1 is amazing, but volume 2... more>> and 3 are a bit less focused, in need of a slight polishing/editing, but it is still very very good and anyway way better than most stories on NU.

Utterly amazing!

The beginning was somewhat confusing to understand as you're just thrust into the action. Basically, our MC gets into a sect, but they don't really want to be there. Things become much easier to understand afterward, so don't let the beginning deter you! It's a bit slow, but the ball really starts moving when the MC and FL have a heart-to-heart that starts to show our MC's character better. The characters are great, the set-up is lovely, and the ending is fulfilling!

The story is rough around the edges, but by the end I was hooked. It's a good read.

This story balanced the themes safely. Politics, war, mysticism, & romance are all in there, but kept at a minimum. The focus is on the main character & story, moving at a good pace. I like the extra ending, we get to see how things turn out after.

The Chinese cliches were the weaker part of the story, "immortal cultivation" is awkward and the long time-gaps didn't add to the story, "revenge" isn't interesting... more>> to me, that poor living sword, intelligent spirit animals forgotten... Thankfully there isn't life-giving ginseng or luck-items to control fate or lives traveling across worlds or authority posing as righteousness. I felt it took a Westerner friendly approach. <<less

1st volume was okay to me, but it set the whole premise of the story. Things got really interesting in volume 2. By volume 3, I couldn't put the series down. I binged through it like nobody's business! I really enjoyed some of the fluff between MC and FL in volume 2 - but oof, it was a sloooooow-burn. The story itself though, mm - what an adventure it was! Came for the romance, stayed for the story.

It was easy to read, and very enjoyable. The world-building is very colorful... more>> and descriptive. I'm glad that this was my first experience into fan-translated novels. The translation in the beginning did put me off though, because I didn't know why it was translated the way it was - nor why people said it was such a great translation. After a while, I got used to it (and got some clarification from the community, so now I have a better understanding).

Do they get a happy ending? :

Spoiler

Yes, they do.

[collapse]

Note about the translation quality:

I was pretty confused about the translation and genre when I first read this, being that this was my very first translated novel of ANY sort, baihe included. Didn't know what baihe, xianxia, or web novel was (yeah, I've been living under a rock), or that this quality of translations were considered really great quality. So let me address the elephant in the room for baihe newcomers who are undoubtedly going to read this novel (because it's so highly recommended as a first read) and go wtf, like I did... that most of these translations are machine-translated, with some really good ones being human-edited after being mtl-ed. I do not know if any of it is funded or if translation groups profit much from anything, but if there is, I can imagine there'd be quite a lot red tape with publishing and royalties - which makes it very unlikely that these are getting the same official translation quality as some international best sellers, such as Three Body Problem. So, considering all that, this is indeed as good of a fan-translated work as it gets. Maybe in the future, it will be even better lol.

Edit: I have now read some other stuff, and I understand completely why people said this was a great translation haha~ -_-" <<less
