Jing Beiyuan has lived six lifetimes in many forms; a fox, a plant, and etc. In all those lives he suffered an unrequited love and/or gloomy fate with his proclaimed soulmate, the crown prince, He Lianyi. He is given one more life, his seventh reincarnation. This is the life where he is given the chance to live as who he originally was, not an obscure animal, but the prince of Nan Ning. After suffering for 6 lifetimes, he no longer has anymore affections for He Lianyi, but they are still close friends. In fact he wants to live a simple life not having to indulge in any politics. Things diverge from his original/first life and a hostage from Nanjiang is sent to the country as an offering. The emperor gives Beiyuan the duty to look after the mysterious hostage, Wu Xi. The two subsequently become neighbors and learn more about each other as the years pass. Wow this novel is *chef's kiss*. I was looking for a novel to read and am so THANKFUL I was able to see this masterpiece. I was apprehensive on reading it because I'm not huge fan of books with a lot of political struggles and this book looked like it was stamped in red with "POLITICAL POLITICAL". I prefer to read stories that gleam past such occurrences because I honestly don't want to exert brain power to understand the intricate scheming between characters. However this book makes it interesting and doesn't make you want to sigh in boredom or confusion. Yes this book has its fair share of power scheming but it's not dump bucket of it, it's well balanced. The novel is written well enough for you to be intrigued and understand it. So if you were apprehensive about reading it because it seems boring with politics being weaved into the plot, do not fret it's not what it seems. Enough about that- LETS TALK ABT THE CHARACTERS! I absolutely adore protagonists that have an indifferent but cunning nature and Beiyuan is a prime example of one. Beiyuan reminds me of Xie Lian from HOB in a sense that they are wise beyond their years. He sincerely wants to live a life of simplicity, only sleeping and eating. However, he doesn't want the country he's lived in to be brought down to flames with an unworthy/scheming future emperor. Therefore it is inevitable that he's dragged into the palace scheming especially since he is the crown prince's close friend. We get to read about all his faces from being a sleep addict, a ruthless killer, a scheming actor, and him just being him. I won't spoil much about the ml, but just know that you'll soon get a grasp of who he is while you continue reading. Their relationship imo seems pure, it's a slow burn where we get to see them start off friends and slowly progress. This description is so long because I really cannot rave enough about it. Lord Seventh has such a good plot that needs to be flaunted and admired. I mean it seriously. I even put it in 2nd place for fave novels right away because of how much it caught my attention. READ IT U WONT REGRET!!
except for the fact Jing Qi never tells Wu Xi about his past lives, it seems, but it doesn't particularly bother me
When I first read the synopsis, I was really intrigued and I actually thought the book was about the MC's suffering in the six lifetimes and how he finally gets happiness with his lover in the last life. But surprise!
Apparently the love of his six lifetimes (who ends up killing him in ALL six lifetimes) is not the ML! The ML is in fact, the one who mistakenly turned his love life into one-sided love life (I think it was mentioned clearly that Wu Xi was the Soulhook Envoy). I got more emotional after reading the Bai Wuchang extra:
In the seventh lifetime, the MC finally gets his chance to have a happy life but alas! how could he, when the country was in turmoil? He couldn't get peace and quiet and I truly pity him for that. He finally, finally gets a chance at true love but he HAD to send the guy away to protect him since the capital was being attacked and he couldn't keep his sweetheart there to get killed, could he? But then how could the ML bear to leave his future husband in such a dangerous place too? So he gets troops, gallops valiantly across the thousand li and saves his fragile Prince to bring him back home. Happy right? And I was happy too, until this part:
If only... if only, in the previous life, you weren't the Rongjia Emperor, and I wasn't Prince Nan'ning.
I know, I know, he clearly said in the previous life, but to get this sort of sentiment when your ex gives you a hug makes me feel icky. There was a review that mentioned something about Jing Qi's feelings toward Wu Xi being lukewarm (compared to the Crown Prince towards whom his feelings were intense) and I do agree. It wasn't like Jing Qi didn't love Wu Xi or something, but after reading about what he did for the idiot Helian Yi, I couldn't help feeling exceptionally bitter, because it sometimes felt like Wu Xi did all the craving and pining for (yes Jing Qi too suffered for the Crown Prince but its not the same relationship), and worked hard to gain Jing Qi's heart and Jing Qi ultimately gave up on trying to resist him and thus, they ended up together.
One thing that made me feel complicated emotions was
the killing of Sir Jiang's family. The man himself was wrong, yes, but I felt the same way poor old Liang Jiuxiao felt, realizing that the one who killed them all was in fact Zhou Zishu and the Crown Prince's team, not the b*tching Second Scion. That moment truly made me want to kill all the characters, not sparing anyone. Yes, the ways of the world are that way, but are they truly? Is the road paved with the bodies of innocent people the one to success?
Another thing that I hated to the utmost was the brutal action of having the young boy Zhang Tingyu r*ped and killed just so that the Second Scion would lose his favor with the emperor. I would have probably been less angry if the boy was also a rapist or had killed people unnecessarily or any sort of wrong deed but as far as I remember, he was just a young boy who had to suffer for his father's deeds.
With a father like that, Littlest Master Zhang dying isn't an injustice.
So, its okay to kill a young child for something his parents did? And it would have been better if he was only killed, but no, they had to give him a drug to make him mute and then throw him to the lair of the tiger that was Helian Qi, knowing that the boy will be r*ped, tortured, beaten and will not be able to live anymore? This is what justice is?
I do understand their reasoning somewhat, but Zhou Zishu made me kind of angry and I felt an immense sort of satisfaction after reading that he truly became dead knowing he couldn't save his lil shidi.
"Many acts of injustice will bring ruin to oneself... Zishu, are you not afraid of meeting with retribution?"
I feel like not being able to prevent Jiuxiao from being killed and suffering for his actions is exactly the retribution he deserved.
Yes, yes, I'm vile and a hypocrite but reading that made me feel like, oh, its karma.
There are many times were everything is just hopeless and as a reader you can feel the same distress, regret and pain the characters experiment. There are many painful situations which will make your heart hurt and your eyes wet, there are betrayals, mistakes, regrets, 'ifs', deads, war, parting, etc.
The characters are excellent, and you can see their growth and suffering through the book. We have Jing Qi, for example, who always seems to have that sort of 'noble yet frivoulous' bearing, but at the same time is tormented by his actions, he believes himself to be 'filthy' and just hides everything in his heart, he is devoted and patient, but he's algo ingenious and smart.
Then we have Wu Xi, who is blunt and direct, he never goes in a roundabout way when talking, acting or even expresing his feeling, he has a great character growth wich can be seen through the book, but can be apreciated at its slendor in the last chapers.
We also have great characters such as Helian Yi, Liang Jiuxiao, Zhou Zishu, Ping An, etc. They all contribute to form the well developed plot wich is presented to us in Lord Seventh.
The book is rather tragic, but at the same time it also has little blissful moments.
As for the main couple, we can see how their relationships devolpes and evolves through the chapters, little by little they start to realize their feeling, and when they get together it is not abrupt at all, their romance is slow but sweet, or maybe we should call ir sour-sweet since there were also many bitter moments.
In short, Lord Seventh is a great book worth reading, if you like ancient setting, power struggle, a little bit of tragedy, etc. You should really read this book.
