Hey, I'm the translator for this story.
I wanted to give my thoughts on the story so far. I'm reading as I'm translating, so you can also take this as a review from a reader.

The main couple: All in all, they're a really endearing pair. MC is a bit meek and is still coming to grips with the reality of having to cultivate and deal with ghosts. On the other hand, the ML is the cool and composed man-of-few-words type. So it's pretty standard gong-shou settings. Both characters are reasonable, upstanding people and the interactions between them is quite sweet. I love how the author has played the silent guy trope - instead of ML seeming cool all the time, ML's lack of communication sometimes causes misunderstandings which are hilarious to read.

The story: At this point (c21) it looks like this story won't be dishing out fluff only. There will be some conflict (could be sad, could be dramatic, could be both) later down the line. There have been hints dropped about the back story of the MC and ML and it looks like they had a pretty sad past. The story is still in its set up stage so it's not really clear what the main conflict is.

The other characters: This is one of the best parts about the story! The ML's family is hilarious. They are staunch supporters of MC and ML, and even the family's butler schemed to help the MC and ML get closer. Every scene with them is a riot!

Cons: The ML's dad and the MC are quite passive and I hope that changes. MC is showing signs of change but the dad...I have very little hope for his development. BUT, there is still over 80% of the story left so I may be proved wrong.

Final thoughts:To sum it up, this is a sweet and funny story because of all the interactions between the characters. There's also potential for the development of a decent plot due to the hints that have been dropped in the story so far. I picked up this story because I enjoyed this author's works (the ones that I have read). I liked how they wrote interactions between characters and how the plot slowly unfolds. So I have high hopes for the rest of this story!

Edit: It's a slowburn on the romance department, and MC does become more proactive 👍

I agree with the translator's review - the ML's family is the best part of this novel! The brother and mom are particular gems. The misunderstandings are great. As for the relationship with the MC and ML, ML is super whipped for MC but doesn't show it. MC is still adjusting to the new craziness that is his life, but I look forward to seeing him develop.

The story is nice, the MC a bit silly but not gary sue-ish. The ML is still a mysterious figure by chapter 58 and his original body’s family is awesome. It’s mixed with cultivation and some tao style ghost/evil practitioners apparitions which makes it interesting. And frustrating lol as it stopped at the best part, when mc’s dna donor made an apparition and ML &MC finally getting together. Translator did a terrific job so far! (Any chance this will be continued😭?)
