Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In his previous life, Ye Yunlan’s appearance was destroyed by a fire. For years, he was misunderstood by the world and his reputation was notorious. Once reborn, he returned to three hundred years ago. He escapes from the fire. This time, his face was healthy, but his roots have been damaged while saving people, breaking his cultivation and leaving him suffering from sickness. But, Ye Yunlan didn’t care. In his previous life, he wandered for a long time, so in this life he just wanted to live a peaceful life. However, he soon discovered that his former Senior Brother who abolished his golden core, his Sect Master who imprisoned him for a hundred years, his Daoist companion who gave him away to the Demon Venerable, those who hated him and disliked him… all of a sudden, they began to treat him nicely and courteously. Not only did they send elixirs and magic weapons but they also sent themselves. Ye Yunlan: This is unnecessary.

Shen Shu can not forget that scene. In the sky full of fire, that person flew over like a white gull, picked him up and protected the young him within his arms. The flames that hit that man’s back and the blood that dripped down his cheeks fell on the tip of his heart, more scorching than the fire. Later, he bowed his head and called that person “Master”, but when the other party frowned and coughed, he couldn’t help holding the pale hand of that person, and forcefully wiping the blood from his lips. Everyone scolded him for falling into the demonic path and betraying his Sect, but he didn’t listen. He just stared at the man as if looking at the moon. Indulged in beauty, trapped by thirst. The newly promoted No. 1 beauty in the cultivation world at the apex of everyone’s heart, something that can only be longed for.

After 2Ha I never wanted to read another angsty novel, but this one ended up capturing my interest, and good lord, the author here is very much the same type of sad*st as the author of the other book.

It's like when she started planning the story outline, she thought, "How can I torture my characters (and the readers) as much as possible?"

There is almost no joy to be gained from reading this book (unless you count the very ending), but it's more like 90% suffering, 9% neutrality, and 1% happiness.

The... more>> story did tug at my heartstrings, and for that I give it a 4/5 rating, but it's not a pleasant read. At all. It's not a story I would read again, nor a story I would recommend to others, unless you want to punish yourself or something. <<less

*Edit: Shoot, did not mean to give a star review. Sorry about that. I wanted to review without a rating.
Anyway:

Ah, should have looked at the tags... if you are planning on reading this book, please:

Don't disregard the r*pe tag.

r*pe and the theme of r*pe is a very prevalent and reoccurring, both in some of the flashbacks of their previous relationship and in their relationship after the ML has some 'mental issues' (as much as I can say in as a non-spoiler). Especially from chapter 114 to where I dropped... more>> the novel.

I was caught off guard, and after forcing myself to read it in hopes it somehow got better, I couldn't read on. In my honest opinion, I think this also hindered the progression of the characters, ruining the picturesque portrayal of the ML's love for the MC earlier in the novel. Basically:

Spoiler

Originally, what I liked about the ML was the amount of respect he had for the MC (his master), which was shown through his hesitancy of getting together/ confessing to the MC to avoid ruining his reputation. He seemed to be conscientious of what his master wanted. But... then, as his mental state degrades, the MC suddenly doesn't have a choice? It's on the edge for chapters leading up to 114, but really the change of mindset was a slap in the face. Yes, he had been separated from the MC for years, and had been driven insane in the process. But, his subsequent actions of chaining the MC to the bed and constantly raping him under the guise of 'saving his life' (despite the fact that the MC states himself that with the newly obtained Phoenix Inheritance his life was no longer in danger) with literally NO consent from the MC and being repeatedly told no gave the impression that the MC was just there to be a s*x toy. Also, it's very obvious how this treatment is effectively destroying the MC's mental AND (very counterintuitively) physical state as well, as he spirals into apathy and depression. The only argument for the ML at this point is that he is obviously insane to the point he has lost his humanity, but then he regains consciousness... and proceeds to r*pe the MC again with a clear head! Honestly, the MC was r*ped so many times that it made me wonder if the ML was truly the worst option out of his many suitors. And yet, the MC still doesn't blame the ML because he's in love... a conclusion I'm still confused about because he isn't able to feel any sort of romantic or s*xual attraction due to (big spoiler, proceed with caution) being cursed. In my opinion, the attachment he feels towards the ML greatly resembles Stockholm Syndrome, after being locked up in his previous life (and r*ped) by the same guy before he was reborn. It was even clearly stated by the antagonist that the MC has always striven for human connection, many of such relationships being written with sense of ambiguity. So, it made me question; was the MC's 'love' really love, or a dependency derived from confinement and abuse?

[collapse]

But, it must be said that it's my fault for checking the tags.

However, to give credit where it is due, the writing and prose, storyline/plot, characters, and translation are all very good quality, especially for this genre. I truly enjoyed the novel until the chapters I mentioned. I personally just can't stand the excessive amount of Stockholm Syndrome love between the MC and ML. <<less

I expected a novel about healing from abuse, but what I got was... more abuse. This was much heavier and darker than I was expecting. The translation isn't finished as I'm writing this review, so I'm hoping for a happy ending. Despite my expectations being subverted, I do recommend this novel. The characters are interesting and fleshed out, and even some of the scummy characters are able to redeem themselves just a bit.

Interesting, I like it so far. It always bothered me how all those side characters in BL novels are only attracted to a MC or ML's face, as if that's all they're good for and act like their feelings are genuine. So, reading something like this is a nice change. To hell with all these shallow a**holes.

Are those scums going to get a second chance too and redeem themselves? Because if not, I don't see the need to read this bullsh*t anymore. The heads up is really interesting.... more>>
Spoiler

but I can't stand the fact that they are flocking their ass after MC because of his beauty while the last life they look down on him and abandoned him like sh*t, and what I truly feel was that they hate him to the bone for some reason. This harem is a no-go. I'm placing my hope on the kid that MC help in the description now.

What the f*ck.

This was amazing. Incredibly complex characters to the point that I don't know who to cheer for anymore.

Is the past love more important than the current love??

... more>> Does forced love turns right when years has already gone by???

Is lying and scheming all right when it comes to love??

How can one say they are truly in love? Or were they just ill-deep in delusions or man-made illusions?

What makes love right?

Fudge, I.. It's been so long from when the last time I read something so complex. The feelings were messing up my heart so much. I really felt pain for
Spoiler

Sect MasterQ but I also feel like it was his fault for not caring. But that was his dao. Heartless dao, can't be tainted by worldy affairs. But at the very least, he should have been suspiciouswhen that bi*tch RR gave him that blackjade. I mean, he should have asked why give it just now??? And this heartless dao betch didn't even check the facts right when it was THAT easy to check whether those father son duo Rong was telling the truth or not. Talk about s*upid heartless dao. So for me, it's just the consequences of his actions. The same thing he keeps on talking about in the novel. It's his karma.

[collapse]

The most disgusting char ever for me is
Spoiler

THAT f*ckING MORONIC BASTARD GROOSSSS BUTCH CHEN!!!! If we analyze his character, I feel like since he is so accustomed to getting things his way and being all great and mighty, his inability to make MC fall in love with himself caused him to show his disgusting true colors. A spoiled facking moronic brat. To the point that he didn't even care what heinous acts he does or if the world suffers, btch deserves to die a million deaths.

[collapse]

BEST BABY!! XU QINGYUE! 🥰 I don't really want to comment on the MC and ML's relationship..
Spoiler

Sometimes it feels like forced love (this was before the curse was solved), sometimes it's like the MC is just really having a hard time admitting his love because of the dao ethics aka master vs disciple cannnnnoooot be together (after the curse was solved).

MC felt like he was really tired. If I was in his position, I would have either just killed myself or just killed that bit*h RR first thing's first. Both CW and RR deserve death a million times.

I was holding myself from writing review before I finish the story but I couldn't.

This story is remarkable among other cultivation/rebirth stories. Yes it has the Phoenix reincarnation MC and disaster/demon star reincarnation demon lord ML like many other stories. What makes this story different from other for me is the villain. I couldn't believe I found villain more interesting than ML.

So the villain isn't the half braindead, low morality, greedy (well not greedy for fame and material things at least) typical villain. He is despicable and I don't think... more>> much about him until the part where MC read the letter he left
Spoiler

which literally said "wife (MC was married to him in last life), I know you're coming so I scarify myself for something before you could kill me. In this way you would remember me forever." in more hateful wording.

[collapse]

I like to read this kind of twist character. He was trying to save the world in his way.

I'm half way through the story. I hope author will make me hate him in later chapter or else I'm gonna feel bad for him when the time for his fall come. His fall is gonna be so so bad considering most of MC's sufferings were caused by him. <<less

It was a very good read. Contrary to what someone said, I don't think the author talked too much about other perspectives of other characters? No matter what, they had their role and it was great to see either their development and downfall, and what took them to get there and everything.

The novel has a good writing. I saw some people saying that the MC isn't likeable due to how he acts, and I can kinda understand their point of view, but I still feel really sorry for any depressed... more>> friends/family members they might have. The MC suffered to hell and back, betrayed one time after another. Going back, he just wanted to live quietly. He didn't want to meddle in other issues, repeat the same mistakes.

Also, if the character is like this, a very active or comedy-voice writing would be so off. The "bland" writing-voice is naturally because the MC wasn't lively and happy-eppy-eppy. In other scenes, with other characters (like Elder Xue) we can clearly see the tone changing to fit them more. So yeah, I really love the writing of this novel.

Getting here, I must say the author does have the great ability of making us feel something. I was f-ing enraged with the scums of his past life, specially two of them (I won't name, but if you read, you'll be able to guess). My anger issues were flaring up sooooo bad. The whole time, I just wished I could put the MC under my wing and slap some faces. I cursed so much and with such variety that my ancestors might be ashamed of me on the other side. Or taking notes.

I would like to mention that the ML's state of mind is something to be thought of. Were I in his place, I'd have lost my mind too. Maybe just not like he did. Although I felt incredibly uncomfortable in the abuse parts, wishing the MC had at least one person who would treat him really well all the way, considering the circumstances of everything and the sides of every character with their own lives and problems and wishes etc, this can hardly be expected. So my final thought on this was basically: "if the MC is ok with that, who am I to say anything." It's fiction, so let's not be so unreasonble- if you disagree with it all, do the opposite if the same comes to happen to you; also find a story more to your liking (and if you like dark stories like this but still without this abuse thing, I'd strongly reccomend "Mistakenly saving the villain", I've already read it twice now).

The ML also went through a lot specially in his childhood and was chased and even slandered. I don't know how to use the "spoiler" thing here, so I won't talk much more.

All in all, a good read and it wasn't dragging at all. I've read it in only four days. It's definitely worth it giving it a try. <<less

The ending was kind of underwhelming? So much fricking pain without release, I feel stuffed and frustrated. The story is written pretty well and the plot is super easy to follow. The whole story is in this melancholic oh so sad but still noble and gentle atmosphere, everything is sad and depressing and the "joy" in the story is still more painful that happy.

It got very repetitive hearing how much of a peerless beauty the MC was every other page, having every other character regardless of gender droll after him, be constantly interrupted in the middle of the story by abrupt flashbacks and having the other guys that likes him be constantly shoved down my throat. The story itself wasn’t very interesting and it started to drag so badly that I was skipping paragraphs out of sheer boredom. The main couple didn’t have that much progress between the flashbacks, time skips and fending... more>> off other scum men interested in dual cultivating with the MC. <<less

So, what you have with this novel is a story about destiny and willingness.

I recommend to read this novel slowly because you are bound to suffer with MC previous life relationship and how affects his future relationship.

Going to love-hate ML past and present.

Goint to have pity for two side characters and their big time mistake.

And going to hate the two villains this story has.

First of all, I bet You wouldn't understand MC depressed mood till chap 80 or so, when they reveal the REAL reason for his depression.

... more>>
Spoiler

He wants to love ML (Demon Lord) but can't because a curse, and it hurt him because in fact he hate the caster that is also the one forcing to love him.

[collapse]

You'll also won't see the parallel to past actions and present and why they have so many mistakes and misunderstanding.

Spoiler

Our Couple is bound by souls and thus their destiny is intertwined, so when something tragic happens to one of them, the other one is gonna suffer some tragedy too.

[collapse]

All of them pay a higher price for their actions, even our main couple.

Spoiler

They need to pay karma before balancing out their bounded destiny; MC saving his old clan and ML letting him do so.

[collapse]

Now, the novel is far from perfect with some loose ends here and there. Author overwriting how beautifully beauty or MC is, and you can get tired of this very soon. And all our Chara are obsessed with him.
Spoiler

Thought this is also part of their karma.

[collapse]

Overall the ending feels rushed. Author totally leaves up to us guessing some minor chara endings.

Still the novel is a good romance reading as long as you can bear reading at slow pace to let some info sit in. <<less

I don't know what I expected. This novel is just not that entertaining.

Don't get me wrong, it's not bad. And I really appreciate authors that can come up with such detailed cultivation ancient novels and stuff, I'm aware it isn't the easiest genre to write. (Hence the 3 stars) Otherwise I don't find this that entertaining. I get the lust, but not the love.

The MC is sure he doesn't need anyone's help, so it's confusing when he keeps on getting out of situations by others' help. Almost all the time.

The... more>> MC also has strong "I'm so done with the world" vibes. It gets boring after a while; just jump off a cliff then or something bro!! We'll just have another character substitute you as the MC, no big deal.

Idk what to say about the ML. (Tbh honest I just dropped this novel so idk how it ends) But so far I atleast like the ML. However I like the side characters as well; I'm conflicted.

That's it <<less

The title is amply named. The MC is like the Helen of Troy, with a beauty that causes him much trouble. It has angst and is wonderfully written. The writer weaves intrigue throughout the novel, which keeps me engaged.

Really happy this got picked up!
I love how each of the chapters slowly unravel the past of our dear MC, and also hints of how ML comes into the picture. Eagerly waiting for the full completion because I can predict it'll be a masterpiece

Edit: Read through it all and it IS a masterpiece. Honestly, it took a few re-reads of the first 100+ chapters for me to understand each detail but the ending arc was just spectacular. I am very satisfied.

Spoiler

the ML gets really possessive and literally CHAINS the MC to this palace and r*pes him repeatedly. "Oh, but it's ok because in the end they loved each other". Hmmm, no, it's not ok to me. I think that's just plain mental tbh. This couldn't even be considered romance to me.

Also, the plot is really convoluted and the past is explained in a weird way, making it hard to follow. Might be just me tho. <<less

General thoughts: Please check this out! It is so good, trust.

This is honestly one of the best plots and all you questions will be answered with a satisfying bow. The only complaint I have are the characters.

The characters are honestly in a weird state of sometimes being really written and then being 2 dimensional paper people a second later. You don’t have to worry too much about that though since it didn’t really take any of the enjoyment out for me, just something I realized while writing this.

So muchhhh potential but the author butchered this novel in the wrong way.

The side characters got so many unnecessary screentimes than ML. Like the whole chapter is 50% world building, 30% side characters and 20% main casts.

The author set up a lot of plot about the ancient clan but ended story abruptly without any explanation.

And what icked me the most is the fact that MC still don't know if he loves MC when we're 10 chapters away from the end. Like????

I read less than 3 chapters because in every paragraph is spent describing how 'beautiful' the MC is. The MC has less dimensions than paper. And I didn't find the character interesting. I'd recommend it to those who like angst. I can tell that this is a very angsty story from how they mention in every 3 paragraphs how sick he is.

Okay fellas,

Was this an utter, groundbreaking, fantastic work?... No.

However, it is entertaining and I finished reading it. I enjoyed the couple. If you have nothing else to read, this is a short novel that you can finish in a week.

If you really want something good and have the same flavor — read Mistakenly Saving the Villain.
