After an explosion, You XiaoMo finds that he is now a probationary disciple of the TianXin sect. However, he is one with dubious potential, so just when he starts to adapt to his new circumstances, he receives a piece of bad news. If he is unable to produce the required result after half a year to become an official disciple of the TianXin sect, he would be driven out of the sect.

While You XiaoMo is going all out to make medicines and earn money, he runs into Ling Xiao. To his horror, he later discovers that Ling Xiao is actually someone cloaked in human skin.

To sum this novel up... It's pretty much a BL version of a stallion novel. But don't be scared away! Neither of these things makes it a bad read, but I guess it's all up to your personal preference. It's more of a 'satisfying' novel than a 'refreshing' one, lots of OP MC and ML action later on and tons of face slapping. It consistently follows the plot which is nice but as it goes on it feels like the author is just dragging it out.

The author is also very... more>> fond of certain events (idk how to describe them but if you read it you'll get what I mean) and at some point it starts to feel a little repetitive. I'm also a bit disappointed because some of the relationships between the MC and the side characters were pretty weak, and by the end of the novel there are so many characters that it's hard to keep track of them all and remember who did what.

The one thing that I really appreciate about it though is that the MC and ML get some pretty strong development. The ML is overbearing but not in a "yandere for the MC" kind of way, and the MC is a bit s*upid (lovably) and naive but not frustratingly so. Their personalities balance each other out and even if you're not a fan of BL or yaoi you can at least appreciate their dynamic.

This is the kind of story that grows on you, which is why I read all 700+ chapters and enjoyed (almost) every second of it. At times it takes some patience to get through some of the more boring chapters, but overall there's a lot of thrilling action, suspense, mystery, and humor that makes it all worth it when you reach the last chapter (not to mention the extras are a real treat). <<less

If you're looking for a story with amazing world building, this is it.

Dear lord did I never dare hope to find a BL Xuanhua novel that had an interesting world. Unfortunately, the price it paid was the quality of the main characters.

They just don't do it for me together. Power imbalance, the uncomfortable consent and the serious disrespect MC gets... um.

... more>> I feel bad for MC and I couldn't tolerate how disrespectful his own contract beasts were to him. It doesn't feel good to see the MC get insulted at all.

The whole cultivation thing was honestly going well too but ended up becoming super rushed. Especially when x level requires 10000 years to ascend and MC advances twice in like....a year maybe.

I recommend skimming past the school arcs because nothing remarkable happened, and they're useless because all students are self taught. <<less

This is a fun novel depicting a dominant Top. You will see how the *wife* evolves into a strong character equal to his partner. It may take a while before the *wife* grows; however, it's fun reading how their relationship turns from the Top being a predator to a Top being a possessive yet somewhat caring type. Also, with the thrill of knowing who they really are and the thrill of reading battles sometines with comical approach.

Also with some scenes that will make your face hot, though you'll havta read more chapters to reach thru that.

Wow. This novel is great! Funny and extremely entertaining with fewer annoying villains than other books. Pill making, naive, guileless, low key and adaptable main character... at first. Ha ha. Then became slightly petty and slightly greedy but still quite naive. I really like the main character. He feels more real.

I originally wasn't going to post, but with a few low rating comments, I just had to.

Ok, let me start off with how this novel is a not only a BL novel but a Xuanhuan novel as well. It takes into account this aspect of the novel and adds in great amounts of actual fantasy that it's not completely overwhelmed by the BL half. I greatly appreciate this, because it doesn't feel like I'm reading a fanfic only for the pleasure of pairing two characters and seeing them f*ck.

The amount... more>> of BL scenes (R-rated) isn't many in terms of the 500+ chapters, but it is enough!! Think of it as a treat. When you DO get a BL scene it's greatly appreciated and savored haha.

So when you start this, do not expect BL from the start. It's slow in romance, but when you do get to the part where it starts, it's slow cooking from there. The details of the cultivation and fantasy are precisely what drew me into this novel. The exciting parts draw me in so well, and I never want to leave! I actually loved it so much I binge read everything within a few days.

Starting here I will address the characters and some of their traits.

The protagonist You XiaoMo. First and foremost, a cutie. At the beginning of the novel, he is not very bright, too trusting, and naive. It can get frustrating. However, the reason to stick to the novel is that not only does this get addressed, it also gets improved. This is where the ML comes in.

He is domineering, maybe even smothering. MC has no ways of refusing the ML. It may seem like a stretch, but once you reach ch. 500 you see how their personalities improve each other and the plot as well!

They match very well and draw out each other's emotions/powers. ML kind of shapes MC to become more used to the cultivation world. MC eventually becomes more accustomed to the strict/dangerous cultivation world, and ML becomes more expressive with his love (from what I noticed while reading). You gradually learn about ML's goal and the secrets behind the MC.

Some say that the love between the two is hard to find appealing, may not seem like love, etc. However, you see ML do whatever he can to keep the MC safe, and that is almost all the time lol.

MC shows his love through his abilities. He's constantly trying to improve, and if you're up to date, you know that he works even harder to help ML achieve his goal. It's such a non-blatant way of showing their love without literally having to say "I love you" to each other. The romance is there. It may not be especially there in words, but it's there in actions.

One thing I will say is this:

MC is lucky. He's the MC. It's so obvious that the novel is catered towards him, but the way the novel addresses it is amazing (ly hilarious). ML always says MC is lucky and not to underestimate his luck haha.

Overall the novel does seem to have cliche parts with the MC achieving almost everything, but that may just be my cup of tea. The other parts of the novel do make up for it. Honestly, if you haven't read up to date, then I don't believe you will have an accurate review of the whole novel. I will say that the beginning, middle, and end are very different from each other, and not even I can make a wholly accurate review of it. Maybe I will change my mind by the end who knows, but I won't know until I read it. <<less

Decided to stop reading it because it's too long. I just don't want to keep up anymore.

But this novel is worth reading if you have the patience to keep up with it. I just found a few things that made me want to stop this novel. Though I may just start reading again in the future.

Warning, the relationship starts kinda late.

... more>> Basically MC is too submissive to ML. He just acts like he hates what ML tells him to do but just never tried communicating with him anyways.

To me, what made the relationship not okay was how docile MC was ML. Like reaallyy docile. He, for the most part depends on ML for a lot. The relationship does NOT feel natural.

More like they met each other in some BD*M club.

I just wish that the pacing was a bit more faster and that the MC wouldn't be so much of a doormat. <<less

This is the first BL light novel I've read, and ngl it's becoming addicting. I've read some English MM books/manga, but after a few there's just so much drama that it becomes annoying. Definitely love this story, and it's probably one of my favorites, up there with the King's Avatar (not that similar, I know).

So I do frickin love this story. But of course, I have a bunch of annoyances. Perhaps bc this is BL, the author still sometimes gives off the BL cliches: a domestic, weak, "s*upid", more cowardly... more>> and frail and small and delicate bottom and a tall, handsome, powerful (basically perfect) top. We get it, they're a top and a bottom. I really don't like weak, dumb, and cowardly MCs, but YXM was pretty endearing and I didn't get tired of his personality, though I did get increasingly annoyed by his lack of spine in front of LX. I mean, some of my other favorite novels like GDBBM or BPSHW also had an OP ML, but the MC was still smart and strong and wasn't constantly bullied. I would also have appreciated more loving/mushy scenes. I feel like throughout this novel there are probably no more than 5-6 lines of dialogue that border on tenderness and love, but the two never explicitly say that they love each other. Based on their interactions, I sometimes even suspected that LX was just after him for the s**, given how often he forces YXM to do it. Multiple times, I also got really frustrated by LX. He constantly insults YXM (even though he is dumb sometimes, why couldn't the author make YXM consistently smart instead of sometimes smart when by himself??) and of course the constant coercion for YXM to satisfy him physically. Sure, besides those two aspects he's the image of the perfect partner but given how many lines are invested in those two actions, his personality needs some improvement smh. Ending was happy, though I would have appreciated more slice of life of the fam and the two together.

I did get pretty emotionally invested in the characters and their personalities, which is why I Microsoft translated the hundreds of chapters of raws (not too bad to understand, surprisingly). I know I ranted a lot of about their two personalities, but overall you can really tell that YXM and LX care for each other a lot, and their interactions are always cute and amusing. There's also not much love drama at the beginning, with both of them realizing their feelings pretty smoothly and not denying themselves, something I always appreciate. Side characters are adorable, esp with a bunch of very cute BL couples. Love this story, and will definitely continue on with the genre, at least for a while ;) <<less

I read this a long, long time ago. When it was still around 100 chapters. And now we are in 400+ already, hurrah! (Thank's to the translators!) So I decided to give a review now. This novel is actually pretty fun to read. The world building was done right. We have lots of fun characters, especially MC's friends in the academy. And we have lots of adventures.

Now, the only thing I did not like about this story is probably the constant insult the MC was getting from the ML. Like... more>> his IQ was too low or he doesn't have a capability to think or his brain is nonexistent, etc. First of all, the MC is quite clever. But somehow, when he's with the ML, I feel like he suddenly changes to this 'funny sidekick' who do or say s*upid things to make people laugh. And it's probably fine when you're in the early chapters but were in ch400 now... And I'm getting tired of it.

You know when you hear a joke over and over and over again and it was funny at first but then you got annoyed by hearing it so much and you just got sick of it...

And the issue is, these insults did not happen only once in one chapter. There were consecutive chapters where ML insulted MC for being brainless multiple times in a chapter. And then you get to read it again in the next chapter and the next after that and the next after that...

MC's demon beasts too, look down on him. They only listen mostly to ML's orders.

It got to the point where it became really painful to read.

Just imagine your partner saying these things to you, also, your subordinates look down on you and won't listen to your orders... Sigh. Pretty miserable, right?

And let's not forget the fact that MC is only 18...19 years old (? anyway, he's young) And he was born and raised in the 21st century. So he was not used to these complicated mind games. I just hope they stop saying that he's s*upid or something...

Why am I still reading this? Because it's good. It's actually good, alright. Especially the face slapping moments, I enjoy those scenes the most. <<less

This novel is what introduced me into chinese novels and xianxia genre. Compared to other genre, the novel might seem to be very slow in the beginning (and the romance is slow as well). But the author build the story up very very nicely and cut each chapter at the right scene. The world building is perfect, so even I, who have never read any cultivation stuff, understand it perfectly. I really like You Xiao Mo (the MC) and Ling Xiao (ML) as well. The latter is very sweet to... more>> the MC. What funny is that the MC totally change his character and personality in the academy arc. At first, he is very cute and timid. But now, he is savage and pick fights often. Maybe because he has built up his confidence and he has the ML with him. I'm still getting used to the 'new' MC. Regardless, this novel is very very enjoyable.... :) <<less

This is the best BL novel I have ever read. Its interesting and keeps u hooked on it! I just love the main couple, and how the story is built. The moment u think it cant get more interesting u would be surprised. The relationship and plots are built slowly but not to slow, and when u least expect it then Bang! It hits u. I like how they were lowprofile before, but then they are the main focus of everyone. I love how the characters are devolped and how... more>> it makes ur heart stop. I cant stop fangirling over almost everything <3

I love when they get to the Dao Acedamy and how Mao kicks ass. Also when Ling kicks the seniors ass, even thought it isnt surprising.

The strength of Legendary Master's Wife is actually as a xuanhuan novel. It's on par with many mid-tier xianxia/xuanhuan novels with well-developed setting, lots of cultivating, face-slapping, finding treasures, leaving the nest (sect) to greater adventures, etc. However, the author is also very focused on developing the relationship between You Xiaomo (protagonist) and Ling Xiao (main love interest and also You Xiaomo's second golden finger, let's be honest...). As such, this novel satisfies the reader's desire to see the protagonist You Xiaomo develop and bloom into strength as a pill-making... more>> mage while also capturing (being captured, more like) the male lead.

What I particularly like about this novel is that there are many notably likeable side characters. The author doesn't attempt to make everyone an arrogant pin for the protagonist to slap. Instead, they include many neutral, friendly, and unfriendly characters that have their own little arcs. It's an extra bit of care often left out in other Chinese novels.

Because this story stands on its own legs as a xuanhuan cultivator tale with the an epic-length plot, the fact that it is also unabashedly a danmei/BL novel makes it a one-of-a-kind star. BL/GL novels are notorious for being romance-focused with only small trimmings of plot around the characters, so I'm extremely thankful to s3ri for being the first to translate this novel with excellent quality... even without knowing Chinese... honestly, how amazing is that?

As for flaws, LMW does have a lot. It suffers the same flaws and cliches as most xuanhuan: long power grinding, the protagonist getting a slew of advantages for no good reason, arrogant no-brain fools just begging to be faceslapped, and treasures falling from the sky. In the romance department, the character dynamic is the tried and true innocent rabbit vs voracious wolf that permeates both het and slash stories. However, the author does take care to flesh out the characters a bit so that the scenes remain fresh and interesting despite the well-worn personalities. LMW shows its age in how Ling Xiao forces You Xiaomo into the relationship despite You Xiaomo's confused misgivings. This was pretty much how many written romances in casual stories like manga, fanfics, web novels, etc. operated a decade ago, before society became more conscientious about consent in fiction.

Legendary Master's wife has 3.5/5 writing style, 3.5/5 plot, 3.5/5 character development, 4/5 creativity, and 5/5 pacing. The score is solidly above average. It's a typical xuanhuan, and a typical BL romance, but put them together and you've got something enjoyable that's made all the more precious by the fact that very few people have dared to write it before. (5 star for bias, as it's the only story to sate my cravings for cultivation and BL!) <<less

LMW is my current favourite read, I enjoy boy love but most authors seem to rush the relationship but this book feels so natural. The main lead is just so adorable, I love how he acts like a cute dumb child most of the time but then suddenly does something intelligent and unexpected.

I caught up to the recent chapters these past few days and even stayed up to read the chapters. That is just how good it is. This has got to be one of my favorite BL novels! My first ever reading a XianXia novel at that. It has a great balance between romance and plot and it never leaves you feeling bored. I love our two main characters as well. You XiaoMo is extremely cute and knows when to stand up for himself when needs to! He also adapts well... more>> to the world which is extremely refreshing. For Ling Xiao, he's caring and nice to You XiaoMo but also playful, likes to tease and bully him. He sees nothing else and only looks at the MC and it's so fun to watch him getting jealous. The development of their relationship is nice and slow. If that turns you off, just be patient and keep reading because it will all be worth it. I too, thought it was quite slow but it keeps you reading wondering how they will get together.

Spoiler

Ling Xiao figures out his feelings a lot earlier. In the more recent chapters, You XiaoMo accepts his feelings for Ling Xiao with open arms when he figures out his own heart and knowing he can no longer separate from him. I appreciate the author not trying to drag it out for the sake of drama or whatever.

Anyways! Give it a try, you won't regret it! <<less

Probably the only translated novel that incorporated the martial art genre and BL genre. Such a rare gem! It have the same setting like all generic Martial Art novels with the cultivation, sects and whatnut. The best thing is the MC is such a relatable guy. Unfortunately he is quite unlucky person.. however you can say he has his OP, ruthless, bully prince by his side to settle all his problems (probably...)

The story is great, and doesn't contain "many" cliche that we usually found in typical Chinese novel like, the main character goes Gung-ho OP sh*t suddenly, Survival of The Fittest slogan everywhere and bla... bla... etc. The main point of the novel is good written, the story flow is not too fast but not slow, lovable MC, and even though this is a romance novel with Yaoi at that, it does not forget the aspect of Xuanhuan genre itself.

Therefore, the five star rating it get is not unreasonable. Hence, I... more>> recommend you to read this piece of novel. <<less

Ok, yeah. I read BL. For those who are disgusted by this genre, be warned because the amount of "affection" increases as the story goes on. But it's gradual, not *BAM* he got r*ped (no r*pe here). However looking past that, the novel is very well written, including the characters, cultivation, and actual story. The relationship between YXM and LX is more like something to spice up the novel. Just friendship isn't special or interesting enough, and it makes the novel more um unique I guess? Not just the dry pill making or training to become OP. But it's not like the author just throws it in there, so it's not forced.
Spoiler

Our MC, YXM, is seemingly at the bottom of the food chain -- appearance wise, talent wise, everything wise. But he makes up for it with actual hard work and his s*upidity I mean naiveness to people's malevolence.

The initial meeting between YXM and LX, I did not like and I actually felt some injustice. But LX grew on me, and I began to root for the advancement in their relationship as well as YXM's progress in his pill making.

[collapse]

I think, if you're interested in seeing what all the hype is about, and like Xianxia, read it. Just give it a try, you can drop it anytime. If an infamous "scene" pops up, just skip/skim and move on. The author gets the basics of the story out of the way first, before even starting the boyxboy action and, to be honest, I could barely tell it was that kind of story till midway (around 50s) reading it. The plot will make sense even if you miss the juicy, BL moments.
