It was the twenty-third year of Tianxi*. Rumours traversed the streets that the all-knowing Imperial Advisor suffered a great calamity and could not help but enter seclusion to focus on cultivation. However, the commoners secretly clapped their hands and rejoiced. In the winter of the same year, a young monk appeared in the Hui Zhou Fu’s Ningyang District.

The monk’s monastic title was Xuan Min, his memories all missing, yet was versed in the arts of Feng Shui Kan Yu**. On the very first day arriving in Ningyang, he did not hesitate to take care of a dangerous manor, picking up Xue Xian, who was hidden there, along the way.

Since then, Xue Xian – who had been all-powerful in the first half of his life – gained a new life pursuit: to get this baldy*** who had only a good outer appearance to take his last breath and “smile from his grave”.

Xue Xian: If you are unhappy, then I will be happy. If you die, I’ll laugh my ass off.

Xuan Min: …

This one is worth reading.

The characters are amazing! Even though it says a monk, don't expect an ordinary one, I'm telling you, you'll love him. Even I was hesitant at first, but no! I was hooked right after I read the first chapter. And the dragon, well... he's on another level. He is kind of mischievous like a five year old kiddo though he's a few hundreds years old. Both are equally smart in their own ways.

I didn't like this novel at first, the first half of the book was... more>> boring for me, what kept me going was the characters. Even the supporting roles did their best!!!

This novel cracked me up, I found myself laughing so hard and at the same time, I was crying. I personally think the climax was a bit lacking, the plot was slow pace at first, but the second half was the opposite.

This one has a happy ending. I was so surprised, because in every novel I've read so far, I wished there were more. This one was different, I didn't wish for more, it was such a nice ending. You may find it a bit draggy, but I personally think, since every novel is a whole new world, they deserve a clear ending. I'm pretty contented with this novel. <<less

This is the second story I have read written by this author, and I enjoyed both of them. (The other one was Global University Entrance Examination.) This is definitely a slow burn romance, however, you can see the sweet and small things early in the story, so you really do get to enjoy "watching" their love for eachother grow.

The ML (the dragon) is hilariously dramatic, and often ends up biting his own tongue with his ridiculous behavior, in fact one of the comments mentioned him being the embodiment of chaos,... more>> and I would have to strongly agree with that. However, it's completely lovable, and helps keep a slghtly lighter side to this story, that might otherwise be a bit morose at times.

The MC and ML are obviously OP, but there isn't a ton of major battles so it's not overwhelming.

Spoiler

One's a dragon and the other is a mystic fake monk, of course they are OP. Would you believe me if I told you they were weak?

Lot's of ghosts and references to ghosts, but in a very mystical way. Not in the trying to scare you way, more in the these are real people that lived real lives, how did this happen to them way. It was nicely woven into the story and helped you understand the temperaments of the MC and ML, since they were both a little aloof at times.

If I had to give criticism it would be that I think the author used the phrase 蜻蜓点水 (the dragonfly touches the water lightly) about 20 times too many. In fact even the translator at various points couldn't help but point it out. I have read this phrase in many Chinese stories, however never seen it used so many times in a single story.

All in all though I am happy that I got to read this novel, and plan on reading more novels from this author in the future, once they are translated.

Spoiler

Side Note: There is no real NSFW in this story, there are a couple brief mentions that hedge around it, but nothing explicit or detailed. Good or bad, you can decide.

Really one of the best novels out there.

Great ploy, awesome phasing and character development.

I like how the MC could be both smart and s*upidly funny at the same time. The chemistry of the aloof and quiet ML is really sweet. Specially after the've confirmed each others feelings. 😊 This is truly a worthy of binge read novel 🙂

There should be a tag for drama queen 🤣🤣🤣

This was a lovely story to read; mysterious, touching, sad at times but the MC is just so extra and the comedic effect brings an adorable and refreshing touch to the sometimes sorrowful atmosphere (in the best ways of course). All in all, if something’s gonna make you sad, it won’t last long 😅🤣

Omg I've got to say this was such a difficult read in the beginning. I had to keep the faith that the story will make more sense and the characters relationship will get better. And satisfyingly, it really did. Even by ch 80, you will scratch your head and think, can everything be solved by the end? I mean we only have 20 or so more chapters to go and we really know nothing concrete about what's going on? But the author really did tie everything together. And between the... more>> MC and ML, their fluffiness was overflowing mostly at the end of the book. It was a very slow burn. But I was so happy with their loving each other and cuteness. It was one of the most satisfying ending of a relationship for me. <<less

I've just read 35 chapter and yet the side characters story has touched me multiple times.
Let me share you some memorable parts

---

The blur of soft, light snow fell half on the fresh grave on the mountain and half on the awning of their boat, half in the afterlife and half in the red dust of the living realm, bidding a quiet farewell to that nameless ghost and the travellers both.

How to tell someone you miss them, that you can't let them go? Perhaps the most tender... more>> way is to say, You're gone, but it's okay, I will become you, I will take you with me.

Time was no longer a concern. Regardless of the season or the age, they would remain together, to walk every path, to cross every river.

---

The early chapter hook you for it's adventurous and supernatural vibes but along the way we will find rich emotion and humbleness as we will look a glimpse into the inside of humanity. You will laugh, you will snickers and you'll cry.

The translation is done beautifully, I can't imagine how emotional it is to read in the original text. If there's another story with similar tone please recommend me one!

Another wonderful read. The translation was really well done, so the flow and romance in the words was quite good.
It is however another slow burn romance and there were times I had to go back to this page to check if it was a shounen ai or a yaoi.
The relationship between the ML and MC felt incredibly realistic, especially how their relationship developed. They are really quite perfect for each other; they complement each other. The side characters were also well written and interesting.
The plot was confusing... more>> at times however the translator does explain a bit in the comments so if you feel lost, just refer to the comments. However I do acknowledge with this type of novel (feng shui, mystics etc) there will be times where for those without previous knowledge, the plot may go over our heads, at least it did for me but it didn’t make my enjoyment of this novel decrease.
I would highly recommend this novel. <<less

I usually don't write reviews but I felt I had to because this novel is really too good to remain so underrated. Everything about it, from the main CP to the side characters to the mystery to the lore to the story was just really good.

And while I love the main CP to death I think what really sealed this novel for me were the characters around them. Often, side characters are treated as air and basically just there as props to make the main CP look good in bl... more>> novels but in this.. the characters felt fleshed out and their individual stories were so intriguing. All characters had their own stories and aspirations and watching them all grow along the way alongside the main CP just felt really good.

And getting back to the main CP. I can't even express in words just how well suited and how much chemistry they had. From the early days of sort of 'enemies' bickering to the later days of lovers still... bickering (lol) I thoroughly enjoyed their dynamics and the subtle changes of their relationship as they started to care for each other. There wasn't a sudden earth shattering "omg I love this person" kind of moment, it was all subtle but I think that's what makes it all the more better. And I loved that from beginning to end, their core characteristics remained the same. The shou was still a powerful, downright annoying, wouldn't know the word humble if it hit him in the face menace lol. And the gong still remained the powerful, aloof, clean freak and yet by the end you could see the subtle changes that their relationship and side characters instilled in the both of them.

I think my one and only complaint would be that I wished we knew more about the villain than just the little excerpt we got when everything was revealed. To me, the villain was a very interesting person and had a presence throughout the story even without being there. But I would have loved to know more. Though what we did get was so interesting to me, it shows just how good the author is at writing their characters.

All in all this was a really great read that I would definitely revisit in the future. The characters are all so dear to me and I am very glad for the 103 chapters we got with them. <<less

Wow I can't believe I finished it, it felt so damn short, yes it had more than a hundred chapter but boy it felt like an hour at most just passed by that's just how straightforward the story is 😂😂😂

At first I was confused on who's the ML is but then the reviewed said it's similar to a certain pair so then it came together 😂

The story like I said is pre straightforward we finished the mystery add a few like extra and we done

The characters are all quite likeable... more>> tho we don't really have much background of em they're quite lovable like the taipu or stone Zhang or even 27

The couple felt like a certain gusu and a yiling Patriarch all in all is a good story I super recommend it if you want a quick Wuxia mystery to read to pass time <<less
