Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.He had four disobedient disciples, who now achieved success, won recognition and established their own sects.
The embarrassing thing is that it was him who drove those four out of his sect to make them independent.
But one day he had an incident and lost his cultivation. His life was hanging by a thread. Wandering around, he walked into his third disciple’s territory.
What should I do?
Mountains and seas can be tamed, days and nights can disappear.
Only you, the exceptional you, refuse to give up.
——
A man blessed with fortune, the best in his generation, had an accident and started anew; broken in body but firm in spirit, he now uses his wisdom to guide his evil disciples back to the right path.
Notes :
The title 参商 (Shēnshāng) has two meanings:
1) Constellations Shen (ch. “Three Stars mansion”, eu. Orion) and Shang (ch. “Heart mansion”, eu. Antares), which never appear at the same time.
2) Two friends/relatives who are separated/estranged and irreconcilable.

the eldest disciple >;)
+1 extra star because Jinyu's translation is some of the most careful and thoughtful tl work I've seen around. The little asides explaining all the idioms and references (especially in a story with some advanced cultivation concepts) are SO nice. Thank you to Jinyu & team! As for the actual story: this was overall a fun ride, typical MXS slow burn with lots of jianghu scheming where everyone is trying to out-play each other. It's not a standout like Thousand Autumns, but it is a solid entry. In my opinion the first half of the novel is the most fun; it does a great job setting up the world, the characters, and taking you through each cultivation method as you get introduced to each disciple. This is where I SUPER appreciated the detailed translation work, because having fight scenes where people are using three different schools of cultivation AND geomancy AND incantations would have been really challenging to read with a less informed translation. The pacing in the second half seemed a little rushed to me, especially with the time travel (which was particularly tricky because it would occasionally undo something that had been established before), and time skips within the same scenes. It felt like MXS had a handful of scenes/moments that were very clear to her and was in a hurry to string them together, if that makes sense? I also thought the characters slipped into "tell not show" (instead of "show not tell"), like the MC and ML just suddenly had an innate understanding of each other and no longer needed to actually communicate. The implication with all the time skips was that those conversations WERE happening, just not on-page; MXS likes to keep things behind the curtain so that she can pull out plot twists, which I get, but also like. I'm reading an entire novel about these two people. Please let me see them talk to each other lol. And as usual I love a whole bunch of side characters and wish we'd gotten to see more of them: Xu Jingxian (my terrible wife), Sun Buku, Linghu You my beloveds.
