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.

Legendary Master's Wife is my most favourite novel which I have read 4 times and still not bored. Its lengthy but very interesting. In it cultivation levels are thoroughly explained. The ML Lingxiao and MC YouXiaoMo both are lovely and perfect for each other although Lingxiao can be overbearing sometimes but he really loves and cares for XiaoMo and always protects him. So far it's very unique and interesting it doesn't have much angst but face slapping moments are interesting.

After the Mo Dao Zu Shi I was in mood for another epic love story. This one is different and a lot longer novel, but it was still good read.

The writing is sometimes better, sometimes worse, but overally on the better side and I did enjoyed the whole novel. The translation is provided by Exiled Rebels and they did the amazing job.

I'm not the big fan of yaoi (this and MDZS are the only yaoi novels that I've read), but I did enjoyed reading all the books and it was... more>> better romance than most.

I guess that author got lazy towards the end of the story as the writing and storytelling weren't as good as the rest. <<less

Was very fun and heartwarming... It makes you still belive in incondicional love. I love the fact that there is never drama between them and how both impulse each others growth, despite having numerous enemies they always find the way to overcome it. I totally recomend this book if you are looking for an easy going BL love story and cultivation world.

I enjoyed the main character in the novel and even the relationship he had with the ML though the ML's nastiness wore thin by the end. The absurd number of sexist/misogynistic comments also really got to me. Just when you thought they were done a new one would pop up.

Had this book been cut down by about 3/4 it could have been a pretty decent novel. As is, it is incredibly repetitious. By about halfway through I was skimming through big sections.

It felt like playing an mmorpg for too many years. Level, competition, get loot, kick some a**holes butts, get more cool stuff, level... rinse repeat.

I really liked this, but..... some things didn't seem sensible...

Magic....... more>>
Spoiler

I do not recall the author ever saying if (or why not) someone can be both a mage and a regular practiioner...I do remember the MC being jealous of practioners though...

[collapse]

Money....
Spoiler

He was always complaining about money, which I liked.... but what I thought was silly was that later on, he's got access to resources, he could just arrange to distribute his pills out through a couple of different channels and make a lot, I understand he's trying to avoid being found out for having that item, but....I think he could have easily handled that drama using the mid range herbs rather than making it even riskier by using the really high level ones.

[collapse]

I also really like how the MC IS NOT one of those s*upid arrogant characters who constantly run around expecting everyone to give way to them (while simultaneously trying to hide their identity) and when they don't they simply kill them. Always refreshing to actually see someone actually try to get along with people rather than start a fight every other scene. <<less

I finished this novel as it was being translated daily so it's been a while, but I have read this novel more than once and this is my first review, so bear with me on this.

Rating: 3.5 stars

My thoughts:

The beginning (first hundred or so chapters) was good world building. The first arc/first academy (around the first 200 chapters) was the most fleshed out in my opinion, but some people may see this as boring and the main couple doesn't really get together until the end of the first arc too... more>> so it takes a while and may be boring for some since it takes a while to establish some rules for the novel. The story also got a bit repetitive for me
Spoiler

they seemed to go from school to school throughout the story and then was kind of dropped

[collapse]

Ling Xiao (ML) is very much an arrogant as*hole but has his moments of love towards You Xiaomo (MC). Also, YXM is very much a dumbass whenever he is around LX where he isn't s*upid to me personally, but when LX is around it's like he doesn't even try and just expects LX to have the answer. This does lend itself to some comedy so can be seen as a negative or positive. At a point in the story (I can't pinpoint where this starts), LX becomes just an as*hole to YXM instead of just teasing like usual and there weren't any moments of tenderness (not talking about sex) to offset it like earlier. The slight sweetness and hints of love do come back after an event
Spoiler

They were separated for a year because of some test that was really a trap

[collapse]
(and a particular one that stuck with me was where LX is stressed by events that were happening but seeing YXM happy relieves him) so I don't know if this was intentional on the author's part.

Although the main couple is rather shameless, I don't think they ever say "I love you" to one another. Their relationship just progresses as the story goes on and then they become an "old married couple" according to them, although they had been together for a few years since then.

The s*x can come off rather r*pe-y since YXM is rather reluctant at times especially at the beginning, but this applies more towards the start of their s*x life and less so later on, but later on, at times it seems like YXM just needs LX to initiate since YXM is very passive with their s*x life.

I really liked the story overall but the last hundred chapters or so were very rushed and were more tell than show. It felt like the author was sprinting to the finish line and was just giving plot points instead of fleshing out the story. So even though I really liked the world building because of this, I can't give this novel a five star rating.

Spoiler

Also, I wish YXM participated more in the climactic battle, since YXM had grown a lot in terms of fighting prowess and although his own villain had already been defeated and this final fight was LX's story wrapping up, I just wished YXM wasn't sidelined so hard. But like I aid before, this final battle and the preparation for it (the last 50-100 chapters) weren't really written well in terms development and were just the author throwing story points at us instead of showing us through dialogue instead of just narration

[collapse]

P.S. I tend to just ignore the extras when I go back and reread because it felt like fanfiction/fanservice and had very little logic even though they answered some things about YXM
Spoiler

they travelled to YXM's old world and we get to meet his old family

[collapse]

TLDR: Overall, I really liked this novel and was kept entertained and would recommend it, but the ending was very rushed and the story got repetitive at points. The main couple can be seen as unhealthy by some people with it being quite unbalanced in power dynamics, but I quite liked LX and YXM together and thought they were quite sweet once they actually were a couple (even if there were moments that I thought were supposed to be comedic but went too far).

*Edit: rearranged some things <<less

After reaching to 200 chapters, I found their dynamic is better. So I recommend this story to those who like a very great and interesting world build with a protagonist that is hardworking grinding up from lowest to highest. If you don't mind the romance part too much this is an easy to read linear story.

C70 : At this point in time, I feel like I need to vent something before continuing this story.

First, what I really enjoy about this story is the world building and how the MC... more>> start at the lowest but continue to grinding up through his diligence to be better and better. (Although he also cheats the process with helps from ML and other things, it's still rewarding to read)

Second, what this story is lacking is the characters. They all are lacking dimensions, including MC and ML.

For MC, I like his diligence and hard working. Many time his honesty and innocence is also charming. I also don't mind his cluelessness. But what I annoyed is his weak personality. He doesn't have backbone whatsoever, and is led by ML ALL the time, which is understandable because at this point he's still a 17-18 year-old child. But 'If' this continued through out 700 or so chapters, it's going to be tormenting to read. It means that the characters is stagnant and isn't developing at all.

For ML, he is a legendary a**hole, which is why many readers hate him. I also dislike him at first impression but you can see a little bit of white specks in his a**holeness. He actually helps MC a lot but with the way he done things with MC, he is still not likable. .. At this point.

I really hope that their power dynamic will be a little bit more balanced in the future chapters because right now their relationship is kind of mehh... for me. Oh... is this the first time I am skimming through the romance instead of absorbing it like a sponge?

Conclusion : I came here for the romance but I stay because of the world building instead... <<less

One of the best Chinese bl I've ever read. Though there were sometimes I got lost through the time skips that happened in the beginning, but that only happened a few times and the translation itself was wonderfully done. I would recommend this novel to anyone even those who don't really like bl. Because as the adventure is what really takes the center of this story with the bl being enough bl for those who like it, while as also making it feel like the bl is there for comedic... more>> purpose for those who aren't really into it, making it a great reading. <<less

Freaking beautiful! MC was naive at first downright s*upid but gradually was thought how to think, analyze, and face what he finds difficult by ML hahahaha the hard way. I really love this so much! (ML) Ling Xiao loved You XiaoMo (MC) first but later on MC reciprocated ML's love and devotion. Just really love MC and ML's characters they are both funny and unyielding. ML really spoils MC very much but at the same time no. And the s*x scenes were dayummm! Hahaha The plot was just amazing. There... more>> were no unnecessary characters as they were all necessary for the grand plot, some characters that you thought were simple and passerbys but would later shock you when their true roles are revealed. The extras were also nice but it made me yearn for more ? <<less

Absolutely amazing! Translation is awesome, the plot and MC’s rise in strength is well paced and believable (I mean you know, for an MC lol) the characters and the interactions between them are well thought out and interesting. Especially the Qiu team!! It is honestly so funny and at points I was literally biting my tongue to stop from squealing.

Yeah there is yaoi, no doubt about that. But apart from I guess the first scene, the rest of the yaoi scenes are not that explicit in my opinion. I mean,... more>> obviously there are a few but overall if you’re not that into that it can be more or less easily brushed over in favour of the overarching plot. (I honestly thought there would be more slash after reading some of the comments but unfortunately they’re not as detailed as I thought it would be lol)

in conclusion, this was a wild amazing ride from start to finish and I am going to miss the hell out of this story now that it’s done. 10/10 <<less

The novel was a great read. After digging through so many different novels this one just felt so refreshing; I literally binge read over 600 chapters without getting tired and losing interest. I'm sad that it's complete, but at the same time the ending was pretty good. It feels complete in a way that doesn't leave you cursing the author for cutting corners, it's a genuine, satisfying ending where you can envision the rest of the story afterwards.

I recommend it for anyone that isn't looking for pure smut, wish fulfillment,... more>> or a completely useless MC.

On the (main) couple:

While it's true that the MC and ML like to play around and bully each other (mostly the MC getting bullied) it's not abusive or over the line. It's pretty much normal banter and they way they fit in their fun couple interactions. Furthermore we can see their relationship grow to the point where they feel like an old, loving married couple. Overall their relationship, and those of some of the other characters, is charming and enjoyable.

On cultivation:

While there is a bit of a golden finger in play here, it's not overbearing. It's just enough to keep the story going without stalling for 50 years, and honestly it doesn't feel as cheap as some other novel's golden fingers. It's also interesting that not everything is a baseless, like we don't suddenly find a magical world ending treasure, there is backstory that has been building up and leading to the discovery of certain treasures and events from before the story began. MC and ML also aren't invincible (yes they don't die or anything, but they do face some difficulties) at least not throughout the story (you can't expect a metaphorical lvl 50 character not too slaughter level 15 peons, but the story changes once they meet more lvl 50s-lvl 90s).

Overall:

Characters are fleshed out well for the most part, little details aren't randomly mentioned and then left behind, story has a good pace, it isn't overly tense or dramatic but it's also not 100% lighthearted, most characters are recurring or have actual roles to play or reasons why they don't appear again, and plot is overall satisfying.

Thank you to the translator (s) for working on this project. Although I started reading late, your consistent updates were always at the right time and helped all us readers reach the end of this wonderful novel. <<less

Slow burn, not that much smut and a lot of cliffhangers! This novel had surely taught me the real meaning of patience and "halo above the protagonist's head".

Character development of the uke is very gradual, not forced and you can see the seme's love.

Everything is naturally placed. Nothing is forced... well... except for... ... more>>
Spoiler

YXM's 1st intimate lesson? experience? But rest assured, boss is just too clever and Momo was just being an adorkable idiot (?)

[collapse]

The semes in this story is so very whipped with their ukes! They will absolutely do anyhting and everything for them!

Oh and yeah.. CAUTION: Lots of btchy female canon fodders ahead of their journey.

Even the extra chapters are just awesome. Sure there are some chapters that are kinda unnecessary like fillers but duck it. This story is good!!! Very Good!

I am actually wishing for it to be longer?. I just want more of it!

Yes, I absolutely think that 731 chapters aren't enough. I wanted more! I still want more!!

[Technically I'm reading chapter 730/extra 17. But since it will update tomorrow then... I'm marking this as done.] <<less

ah. Ok first let me complain a bit.. Sigh it's too long idek if should continue reading.. More so, it's now completed.

if there's any that I wanna mention it's you xiaomo's (mc) transition from weak to strong MC. He really became a brilliant mage despite being such a fragile weak looking MC. As for ML Ling Xiao sigh. He's cool n handsome yep that's all I can say and I wantwto mention his thirst for lust is really putting me off most of the time. Well I think that's understandable since he's a demon beast and an emperor beast on top of it so yeah what can u expect he acts like a BEAST lol. My last complain is the overpowering number of characters I cannot remember everyone at all. Only the MC and the first arc characters from Tian xin sect. Anyhow I think the author has an inkling that the readers might feel bored since thetstory is draggy but doesn't care, as long as she can make the story long.

I'm not really good with reviews but I just want to warn people who's not patient for this loooong building plot. I can only pat myself for finishing 400+ chaps. Nonetheless I did like LMW don't get me wrong. Some cutesy flirting from the leads worked on me maybe a reason that kept me going but I must say the length really drains me. So I think I've reached my conclusion that is to put it on hold and when I've got none to read I may comeback and continue where I left of.

Overall, I love the translating team that works on this and appreciate their hardwork and admired their patience for translating. That's why even if it's long I was able to endure the length.

I like the s*upid MC. Basically he is an idiot and gold digger. Oke so far no good s*x but I like the plot. MC has a very slow character development and I think it is good for now. As for the ML, he is basically a cheat character. I wonder why the ML love MC. Cause so far I dont see any lovely moments yet. More like s*x friends or friend for benefit but I dont care. The story is good. They continue to translate it. That's very important.... more>> Haha <<less

I anxiously wait for the updates to this novel! It took me a week to binge read this one. I just couldn’t put it down. The story is ever evolving so it doesn’t get stagnant by lack of growth or character development. Both characters are super OP but I like it that way, having them being one badass couple. It’s a little slow at times because it’s like information overload with descriptions on the pills and the cultivation so those weren’t my most favorite chapters. But I love Ling Xiao... more>> so whenever he makes an appearance you know it’s going to be great ? Definitely would recommend this to anyone. Even my husband who is not into BL is contemplating reading this. <<less

At first I thought, there is no point of reading this "700+ ch" novel since, the translation is gonna stop at some point. But once you get hooked its impossible to stop, though its almost like other where MC will get weakest to strong, And train and train... but I love the way story progresses later in spite of the fact that sometimes I kind of forgot I was reading BL.

sometimes I was desperate to know whats gonna happened next so I tried MTL, I don't know, if google improved... more>> or I got use to MTL, but I can somewhat get 'whats going on!'. this story kind of erased my trauma for long story. <<less
