also for those who are upset about Mo Ran's soul joining with Taxian Jun's soul in the end you are ignoring that Taxian Jun is also a victim even after all the ab*se he gave to Chu Wanning. Taxian Jun was the product of the curse that was placed on Mo Ran and was unable to feel anything but loathing and hatred. Once his soul was no longer being manipulated he ended up sacrificing himself to save an entire world. I think it's fair for the distorted/manipulated Mo Ran to also have redemption especially since he suffered and lost more than anyone else

its very soon guys stay strong！it's gonna happen in ch179~ even when I'm rereading it I feel so happy for them I actually smile at my screen XD hopefully y'all will enjoy o (*￣▽￣*) ブ

HE

Mo Ran was poisoned/cursed instead of Chu Wan Ning by someone (whose plot is more than to turn the entire cultivation world upside down). The vicious poison which later turned him into a nearly alike inhumane demon and made him only felt hatred rather than love, cruel than kind. This was the reason why he didn't remember any Shi Zun goods on him, except Shi Mei (guess it why *cough*). This was only a small part of it, read more to explore. Mo Ran was once a kind, innocent child, how his mom told him not to hold grudges upon others and listened sincerely to her, how he was saved by a young master on the cold winter night and felt great gratitude to him (yea, that young master was young chu wan ning). He remembered it all until that incident, poor Mo Ran. Glad that he reborn when everything is not yet out of control. Overall, what I want to say is Mo Ran deserves Chu Wan Ning and the same goes for the reverse.

THESE TAGES ARE NOT FOR DECORATIONS AND THEY ARE SPOILER WARNINGS FOR TRUTH. IF IT DOESN'T SUIT YOUR TASTE PLEASE DON'T BOTHER READING IT AND LOVE YOURSELF.

Although I thought it was delicious for angst and really showed how good Mo Ran originally was. The demonic flower is a bit of a cop out and undermined Mo Ran's development in Book 1. He's a character who has done bad things and had potential for hate, adding the flower to me felt unnecessary. It hurt to know he took a bullet for someone, but it also ruined the impact of his development for me because we now have something to blame other than him. I can't really explain it properly and need to really settle my thoughts, but this plot point is something I both hate and love. I could have done without it, but some moments created from this reveal were golden.

... the MC (gong) knows he's wrong and tries to somehow make up for it in his present life. So it becomes a healthy relationship omg.

• foods description
• grotesque stuff (probably author just want to write gore)
• side-mission for over 5 chapters; suddenly it became slice-of-lifey
• characters analysis on almost every characters
• side characters' flashbacks and background story are almost a novella on its own
• main characters' same inner thoughts retold over and over again, in different poems
• all melodramatic thoughts to add to its melodrama
• (more to add)

• Mo ran's reason for humiliating his shizun are much (arguably) acceptable if author didn't write too much DETAILS on the r*per inner thought while doing the deeds throughtout the story as if wanting to glorify it
• excessive main couple's inner (lustful) thoughts towards each other makes the contrast between their passion too apparent when objectically this much different in temperature are quite reasonable
• (more to add)

Like about one character's true gender or about the villain's identity, etc. Since it's also pretty predictable.

A good book needs editing, and editing means annexing a lot of unnecessary stuff that this book producing like tree producing air. Since this story started as webnovel so it can't be helped.

But if it's started as published book, imagine your wasted time and money for every unnecessary words. And imagine buying the middle volume of this series and finding out it doesn't contain as much as 30% of meaningful content in other volumes. You'll feel cheated and want to roast the author.

MAJOR SPOILER, ENDING PART!

I didn't like that Mo Ran and Taxian-Jun shared one body. Like they're supposed to become one—possessive and aggressive but also good and obedient kind of Mo Ran. Won't that be the hottest and perfect Mo Ran? Imo, that was he really was supposed to be like. Now he seemed like he has a split personality. I didn't buy that it was because his scattered soul pieces were separated for too long because if that was the case, Chu Wanning should also had been the same. Tho his souls didn't really differ in personalities but they were still totally not the same. So there should have been a somehow or mild (?) split personality too.

MAJOR SPOILER, BIG REVELATION

There was a black seed/flower (I don't remember well) implanted in Mo Ran's heart. What was even more painful was it was originally meant to be implanted in Chu Wanning but Mo Ran stopped Shi Mei and offered himself instead. His last lines were confession of pure love before he finally lost his memories and slowly turn evil. 😭 I f*cking bawled! When everything was revealed, Mo Ran even told Chu Wanning he would do the same thing if that happened again.

For me, Mo Ran is the most unlucky character. His life was not smooth at all, he even accidentally hurt the person he loved he respected the most, the only person he wanted in this world. If only his love and sincerity for Chu Wanning were not that great, he would not have experienced all these cruelties.

, like when he cries for like 30 chapters straight. I'm not saying he is not allowed to show emotion, his character evolves a lot, but sometimes he gets too far from his mold

Mo Ran's degeneracy in his previous life just did not have to be due to an evil flower. Those fantasy devices belong in lazy stories with bad character development and motivation. Mo Ran needed no explanation or influence for what he has done- it was 100% in his character. He has already been fleshed out. It was believable and understandable.

I know the flower just amplified the hate that was already there, but it just felt like a big slap to the reader's face. Make it a story about the humans' condition, about how even the best-willed people can fall into darkness. Make it feel like he could be real. This "flower" worked at characterizing the villan at the expense of our protagonist's credibility.

I don't want a "he was good all along" protagonist. There is no trouble with having a degenerate as our MC.

I was hoping for a bittersweet ending. But it was the happy ending disney shit, suddenly and out of nowhere. Most of the plot twists were brilliantly foreshadowed, but hoho not this one. There is a simple solution for this- cut the last 2 chapters. You got the perfect ending right there. But no, we must please the yaoi fangirls.

(also, Mo Ran not only lives, but he is bipolar now. Which made the whole dramatic parting between Shizun and Taxian-Jun kinda useless)
