I had to edit the review and score because the ending was s*upid, it was like a story cut off in the middle. Waste of time. But as for the content I have read before this, I will maintain my previous text because until that point the novel was good.

It's a good history. Don't be fooled by all the family-kingdom-revenge mask. This is not a simple "I was a young miss but my family hated me and treated me like a beggar, my life ended in tragedy with my fiancee... more>> being stolen by my sister and my loved ones dying etcetera" drama.

This is a cultivation novel. The main stage is the cultivation world. One hand flips the mountains the other brings rain. This kind of cultivation theme.

Su Li is a reborn soul who seeks revenge against her mother, sister, cheap father, and the ones that did her harm in her past life. Se goes with little but steady steps towards her goal.

She is not a brain-dead-revenge-seeking main character. You see her growth, you see how everything is painful for her. Se is not a revenge vase with a cute ML flower ornament. He is strong, but she puts herself to get even stronger so she can make sure he gets his objectives. And she does it in the background. Only when it's too late does the ML get to know all that she did for him. Their relationship's not a mess of misunderstandings. It's just really too difficult but they do love each other a lot. That's no doubt.

One of the most heartbreaking moments, I'll put them hidden. BE warned, they are HEAVY spoilers.

Spoiler

Just when she and the ML were having their most sweet time after finally being able to accept him (and this was a really hard choice for her), Ling Li's maid cheats Su Li into going to a point in the city. Her aunt, in her early pregnancy, happens to be stalking Su Li (she wanted to talk to her, she knew Su Li was her niece and Su Li knew she was her aunt, but they did not tell each other yet). She decides to follow Su Li to where was she going this late. Arriving at the appointed place, Su Li encounters an ambush.

Ling Li's maid was a hermit cult princess (the cult ML is the leader) and could not hold onto her jealousy because she was mad in love with the ml. She fakes a history and calls a cult elder with higher cultivation to kill Su Li. And he is way stronger than her. When he was about to crush Su Li's head her aunt takes the blow instead and dies trying to buy time so she can escape. Another elder that found the request fishy comes desperately and finds Su Li almost dead. The maid (sorry, forgot the name) instead still tries to kill Su Li. But now Su Li with her aunt's death lost her reason and with the distraction the new elder gave, she picked the maid and was going to crush her neck. But at this moment ML arrives and only gets to see that Su Li is killing his maid. He asks her to stop but she turns a deaf ear and crushes her throat. When he arrived the only thing he did was to blame her why did he kill her? and the maid died in happiness that in the end, he chose her side.

Heartbroken, Su Li tells him that their fate thus has ended and goes away. After he finds that the situation is fishy and inquires more. It turned out the maid ambushed Su Li and in the end, her aunt died in her instead. Because of him and his hermit gate. One body two deaths. This blood debt makes it impossible for them to reconcile. Then he crashes the maid's coffin and tells how ruthless she was, that in the end, she made it so that they had not the chance to get together ever.

Su Li was doomed to die due to her injuries but she had to pay a heavy price so that she could have more time to make sure everyone that was beside her was covered up so she could just die silently, without regrets. Those parts... were hard to read.

Even with this debt, ML didn't give up on her. The emperor made a plot so that Su Li the talented was forced to marry Ling Li the capital's nº1 waste so she could protect her family. They married, she still hated him to the bones. But he still took on all the abuse. As he said, if one year not, if ten years not, then he had all his life so he can seek her forgiveness, and he would not give up her. He was s*upid with the maid ambush at first, but he was so determined on her, even staying at her side was enough that it was silly. He did let her down many times because he had to have his revenge but in the end, you cannot hate him.

One more sad note. For the aunt to be able to get pregnant is really hard because of her age and cultivation. Just sometime earlier before the ambush, Su Li, in her disguise, finds her aunt pregnant. The members of the pub throw out a party. The aunt's husband was silly beyond comparison. It was a really sweet moment. But then she died. The uncle did not blame Su Li and even tried to console her. he just buried his wife beside Su li's mother's grave and quietly disappeared. Maybe he just died afterward from grief. This was really heartbreaking.

This is a revenge-driven plot. Yes. But you can see how much the MC grows, how much she suffers. Because hate and revenge are hurtful things. It's not like most novels where the MCs are seeking their revenge but it feels like it's just a way for them to hit people. Su Li's life is really really hard, to the point where sometimes she just wants to die and be over with it. But she still keeps going on, until the end. it's not stubbornness, it's determination.

This is a history that is still ongoing, reaching the 600th chapters. I would bet this would make 2000+ chapters. Even tho it's not completed and the translation speed isn't fast (hey, it's hard to translate!) I would recommend this for any lover of MC cultivation novels. It's one of the best I've read. This one doesn't have an ML as a tool to wipe the MC's ass magically every time she messes up. Su Li has to clean up her messes herself and she grows with them. This is already a 1+ for me. <<less

After completing the novel, I feel qualified enough to give this novel a just review as all other reviews are based on intial impressions of the novel, so buckle up for a long ride.

I will rate this novel a 3.5. Especially for the lack of romance, otherwise it was a pretty good story while reading the translated version and I kinda struggled with the MTL.

This novel is a short segment in MCs life where she solely focused on revenge as mentioned in the title. All other aspects were temporarily llaced... more>> on back ledal to focus on the hidden danger awaiting in the front. It vividly describes how a naive and innocent girl sheds away her naivete and emvarks on a journey to gain ultimate strength and wisdom.

The story begins with the classic revenge theme where Su Li the protagonist or Lady Su as in title was tortured to death all while her half-sister publicized her as devil and her magnanimity of destroying evil even at the cost of kin ship.

The revenge plot pans out from the classic style to something truly unpredictable. It starts from family drama and ends up with saving an entire world.

The story has all factors that appeal to the cultivation readers. It has Space ability, cultivatio, realm crossing, action, Gu's, poison, medicine, non-human races, friends, family, loyal followers, contract, business, cooking etc.

However thesad part is none of the above aspects have been dealt with appropriately.

It's like they appear suddenly and disappear after soem 10s of chapters, only to pop up here and there later on.

I have often seen people complaining why in all FMC novels ML has to be superior in strength to MC. Well guess what guys, here the roles are reversed. The ML is pretty much an oil bottle often suppressed by unknown factors living a miserable existence, forever cursed and misunderstood by everyone. Though he is stronger than her at the beginning, but at the end he'll need MC to clean up his messes and solve troubles for him.
    1. What's most annoying is her self righteousness. Though short they had a happy marriage in the previous lifetime where she fell in love with him. She really loves and cherishes him, but always keeps him on tenterhooks by showing a deliberate disregard and making him constantly feel guilty, anxious, sad and lovelorn. There's no mutual understanding between them and she doesn't clarify their realtionshup until the very end scene of the novel, which to be honest is pretty irritating. Her attitude of trying to solve everything by herself and keeping ML and her friends in the dark made it feel like she was looking down on them (which wasn't the case). It was always like they'll find out how big sacrifices she made and how much she did for them in the dark only after everything is settled and she's moved on to the next level and they are left eating dust behind.
After rebirth, she showed her overflowing emotions when they first met, but as time passed on, her emotions were almost impossible to detect by anyone, be it her loved ones or the 10k year old ancestors, she can deceive anyone. 80% of the time she is cheating people with an innocent look while harvesting their

resources. She is a perfect example of conman. However, no one hates her cause in the absence of strength you can only win by using wits (& gold fingers). Her cultivation can be seen as a game where she is always clearing levels with different scenarios and challenges and old characters from previous levels might make guest appearances at latter levels.

The overall read felt pretty unsatisfactory for me mainly because of romance.

But also after I started reading the MTLed version the story began to become vague to me and I missed out on some details and the cultivation levels difficult to understand.

The novel kinda felt like an abrupt ending or like reading a short phase from someone's life with it ending in " and her adventurers continues". Her origins were vaguely mentioned with more to be explored by herself after she solves the current scenario. It kinda made me feel like she's gonna have a sequel or something, but I guess not. Even at the end I was like 'is this it? Where's the rest of it?'. But I guess its not that difficult to put down considering how none of the elements of the novel were fleshed out enough to make me nostalgic. Except Fang Yuan who kinda gives you the second ML syndrome and the ML who was like a puppy who was attended to by its master only at the very end. <<less

I don't really know why it only has 3 stars right now despite there being only 10 chapters out but so far I'm finding it quite enjoyable. It has a lot of questions currently. I can't say much as only a couple of chapters are out.

TOTAL tr*sh! Not worth it. I literally regret wasting my time and emotions on this novel. The MC and ML in this story is not bad but the author just made the plot shit.

SPOILER!

So MC initally is a strong independent woman, then of course she meets ML. They fight and then fall in love. BUT... MC then works like a s*ave to help ML get his revenge even though the people around him have caused harm/misunderstanding/and even caused her aunt (and unborn child, she was pregnant) (last family member... more>> from her mother's side) to die. MC still chose to sacrifice all her past life and future life in exchange for power all in order to help ML accomplish his revenge.
ML is not a douche in this story but he takes her for granted for the entire story until she dies (but of course she gets revive later for some dumbass reason even though all her time was suppose to run out already.... s*upid author plot) But yeah, basically the ML loved MC but valued revenge more than her until she died. Not really worth it huh... ESPECIALLY since there is a GREAT GREAT GREAT 2nd ML who has always been by her side taking care of her and being with her through everything. However the MC does a b***** move that she has the ML's kid and then dies and forces the child onto the 2nd ML to raise and be responsible for his upbringing. I mean what a b***** MC! You obviously know that he has feelings for you but then you go and like "I'm dying. Oh here is my kid that I had with ML. Raise him for me okay since you love me. Thanks. Gonna die now."

I say MC should've stayed dead and that would've been better. She is clearly a b***** who is used by others and she uses others for her own selfish reasons. Totally tr*sh novel and waste of time. <<less

Alright, most of these reviews are so off the mark that I had to register in here to clear up this nonsense. While I do have no clue what the ending is and I would actually like whatever website those who said they finished it is, most of the other stuff they say is wrong. ... more>>
Spoiler

The chapters all the way up to the aunts death are not the best, but they certainly aren't the worst. I actually read up to around there and was so enraged by something that happened that I quit the book for a couple months. I was bored later so I decided to just restart and be prepared to be upset again (I was,) but after those couple of chapters were over I was completely submerged in the story. The cultivation world was bad but it was only that cultivation world, it turned out that they were actually in a treasure mine (basically one) and almost all of their memories were wiped of it. The enemies weren't actually the Male leads admirers or step-sisters, but something totally deeper than that. And the Male lead didn't not appreciate the Female lead's help and chose revenge over love because he didn't know she was helping him. It was apparent in the later 500th early 600th that he would definitely choose her over revenge. There are still some things I didn't like but there will never be a perfect book. She forgives (it seems like anyway) her master (not the beginning master) even though the master used her, and it seems like she will forgive the rest too, which is annoying. But it's definitely not some "I'm sorry" and then she immediately forgives them, though it does feel like that for the master still.

[collapse]
But anyways this book so far is definitely 4.7 or maybe even 5 out of 5. It isn't like the other ones where the main lead is occasionally smart and the rest of the times dumb as heck. In fact some times I can't tell the implied wordscause it's way above my brain-grade. This book can only really rival Rebirth Of The Strongest female Emperor and sometimes I like this one better, but it varies.

Omg... I finally finished it and I'm astonished wanted to say more stuff but I'm pretty sure you can only do one review. I'm pretty sure
Spoiler

Almost everyone died except Ling Li, the son and the mother

So yeah. I'm mad at the author a little bit since this was originally one of my favorites <<less

This novel is more Xuanhuan than Wuxia (imho), but is a delightful fresh take on both the revenge theme and cultivation. The heroine is reincarnated and her lover is a transmigrator in a world where nothing is as it seems. There is heavier emphasis on cultivation and true friendship, but romance is a subplot and a heavy motivation for the MC. I would say, put bluntly, this is a story about various types of love and the bonds between people and societies. The MC starts weak, gets strong, and is... more>> eventually OP so there is a nice progression. There is also definitely revenge and violence (typical of cultivation novels). You may be disappointed if you want the ML around all the time or you’re looking for an MC who doesn’t want to be with the ML at first—there’s none of that here.
The few downsides I have to reading this are the lack of ML in the later part — which will likely change soon; and the translation quality (very good, and fairly navigable, but not the best out there which can be a roadblock for some). I wouldn’t waste your time MTLing it unless you can read the raws because the translation is a headache to get through (most cultivation stories are).
4 stars. <<less

Disappointing is the word that this novel brings to mind.

It starts off as a really good second chance/revenge novel but then it tries to be lots of things that it fails at.

Revenge? The comeuppances are bland. I kept asking myself why come up with such a horribly elaborate plan with such small payback when she already showed she could do worse with much less trouble?

Cultivation? Really horrible cultivation system, maybe one of the worst. I was never able to make head or tail of it except that bigger numbers meant... more>> better,

Romance? Nahh not there at all. ML and MC, ight as well be dead fish

Mystery? If you can't figure it out in the first 20 chaps time to get a new brain

The pacing is tiresome on top of it's plot flaws. <<less

Firstly, it still feels too soon to place out a vote, so I'll leave that be.

Now, on to the main point! Before we begin, kudos to the translators for the effort! The grammar and all isn't perfect but it's enough and not thoroughly cringe-worthy or headache inducing (maybe because I'm not a grammar Nazi...). Thank you for putting this story out for us NU readers!

It's quite enjoyable and well, yeah... Sorry, first review here ;;

So far, I don't really see a story. Yes, it's the usual blame-on-blame sister relationship and... more>> the disharmonious relationship between daughter and mother. Basically, the whole fam ain't happy, but she got two bros that's (sort of) looking out for her, so yay! There's nothing of romance since the our MC is more clear-minded but the slyness is not apparent since the format of the story doesn't focus entirely on what she feels.

This is all I could say as of now, but if you're wondering if you should read it: sure, go ahead. it won't kill you ;) enjoy! <<less

I gave up.

The plot is very frustrating. The author made the FL into someone who acts like she is wise but she is dumb. She has many chances to get rid of all the problems but she always reasons out "they can't die that easily" even if the situation would obviously put her into more problematic situations. She can just torture them everyday if that's her goal... but no... she wanted to bear the problems until god knows when... Is she even a reincarnator? Frustrating read. You would end up... more>> hoping and hoping until you just can't give the FL a chance anymore.

So to those asking why 3 stars? Because the story is shiz and it's the bad kind of shiz. <<less

I'm dropping this novel. I actually liked the schemes and the fact that FL isn't really the goody two shoes type. But the romance made me stop continuing it. ML doesn't deserve her imo like I know it wasn't his fault that FL's aunt died but he should be held accountable cuz it would've been avoided if he wasn't so "naive" and trusting (for god's sake he already experienced betrayal by his own sister that costed him his life, so shouldn't he be more cautious this time?) I was rooting for the SML even though I knew it's not gonna happen (I had hope man) but this greatly disappointed me and now my day is ruined.

this is just like any revenge novel with better scheming FL who can use people for her benefit (well people who she doesn't care about that is) and the romance is also kinda typical. It would've been great if they did a plot twist by making the FL end up with the SML. But the novel overall was good it just wasn't my cup of tea (I just want more FL who is way more ruthless T^T)

Average reborn revenge story. It has some nice ideas regarding character backgrounds, but also deep flaws.

MC can do everything from cooking, calligraphy, embroidery, cultivation, poisons and medicine perfectly either from her past life or after a short learning period. ML actually has an interesting background and real character, but appears only shortly. They are interested in each other from the start.

Side characters are rather one-sided, but some are quite funny.

Especially annoying are the exaggeratedly s*upid opponents, which mostly comprise of her family. Her father's flip-flopping attitude changes nearly every chapter.... more>> Her grandmother does not even have a real reason to hate her. Scandals happen every ten chapters but seem not to have any consequence for the future. In short, the writing is shallow and often sloppy with the timeline. It is thus only suitable for some mindless reading while waiting for updates of more substantial novels.

The translation started out alright, but quickly took a nosedive. After chapter 40, some sentences can barely be understood by guessing their meaning. <<less

Interesting story initially with strong lead and complex world building but from around late chapter 200-300’s I’m getting lost in the different world levels eg current world = ? Never land (Realm of Reincarnation = treasure world that is illusory), Spirit Realm within this world but there’s a Supernatural world (?Xiaoshen) after that maybe... The outside world has Juezhou and ? Qingshui Circles... Then there’s all these different ‘hurdle’ levels of skills. Le sigh - getting tired.

Hey but a few chapters later she’s given birth to a new soul... more>> and then been dissipated. Then the mirror was broken by efforts of the ML and 2ML.

Suddenly got better and quite an intricate plot- lots of different dimensions and worlds within worlds. Often a bit confusing remembering who’s who and their roles from previous encounters Well done storyline but ending was a bit abrupt though left some hope with open ended ending. <<less

Honestly this book, it's either you patiently give it a chance or dislike it. And many times I've been in-between.

The plot is a bit allover the place but the general idea isn't too bad. I actually enjoy that there isn't much romance but it's also quite annoying because the FL really loves the ML and is doing everything to keep him safe. I just don't get my she keeps doing everything in a roundabout way. It's like she's punishing herself without stating why.

Next the cultivation system is so weird. You... more>> really have to use your head to make it understandable.

FL is too overpowered yet sometimes its like she's weak (like the fight between her, Ling Xian and 4th elder)

She tried too hard in making her look like an unfeeling cruel evil devil and likes using people alot yet she's also cares for people around her. It's a very weird contradiction sometimes.

The author kept trying to incorporate too many Things into the book e.g reincarnation, multiple reincarnation, transmigration etc and each new element just came out of nowhere without detailed explanations. (Essentially it always looks like unnecessary information like fillers hahaha)

Anyways I'm still reading but you really need patients with this book. It's not too bad but I wish the author organized everything better <<less

At first, you would think it’s a classical revenge novel, with all the good ingredients. But I didn’t expect the twist in the later parts of the novel.
I like the MC character. Witty, smart and caring, she will do everything in her power to protect those she cares about. Her relationship with the ML is so sweet, yet heartbreaking because of all the obstacles.
Definitely one of my favorite novels.

Decent story so far. There's not much revenge and more like foiling the enemies plan. Enemies so far are her family members, who are incredibly s*upid and few school members - but somehow they get away with so much crap with no consequences being faced by society/government. MC is shoring up her energy and building a 'cult'/faction/team to face her future enemies and to help her husband (in previous life). Her aides all have different personalities leading to sometimes hilarious situations.

Both MC and ML are OP, especially MC who is... more>> an expert in a lot of areas. Not much of ML is seen so far, and was just briefly introduced. Looking forward to more MC/ML interactions. <<less

we never had a meeting between the MC and ML at the end. Their son also saw into the memories of the lotus I think but it was never expanded on. The MC also had the star path to explore and her parentage. Who was the fate lord in the end. So much left to expand on before the story ended.
