- MC was "fated" to be with a person, but was deeply betrayed & killed by them before his rebirth etc. The cliche-breaker is a spoiler:

- MC isn't some virg*nal youth who's never had any relationships (he's kind of like 300 years old), and he ends up with someone unexpected.

- MC is a switch.

Otherwise, an excellent read by Priest yet again.After rebirth, he doesn't end up with the same guy who killed him.
Above sounds so s*upidly obvious when written out, but unfortunately in rebirth/second chance novels, MCs almost ALWAYS end up with the same person who DEEPLY destroyed them in the previous life due to the Law of v**ginity. (see next bullet)
Priest writes fantastic complex scheming political characters (like the ex-ML), making you alternatingly feel bad or call them "scum." Much dilemma! Great depth on the unspoken bitterness and regrets.
I'm frankly impressed how sympathetic a character he turned out to be.
In almost every CN novel, MCs end up with whoever took his/her "first time" (aka, Law of v**ginity). Which is why it's shockingly great that MC ends up with someone-not-that in this novel.
And he's the kind of wonderful "top" who doesn't care who tops or bottoms, but rather sentimentally would willing submit and share both with his loved one.
- Wonderful multi-dimensional cast
- Ethical dilemmas galore
- Everyone is kind of a bit corrupt and a bit "gray" and a bit dirty... except cinnamon-roll ML
- More focus on plot, fighting for the throne, scheming etc.
- A bit similar to [Sha Po Lang] in terms of older!MC, fake-facade!MC, self-sacrificial!MC, loyal-to-country!MC (but not as noble or silly as the one in SPL)
- Overall, a darker tone because of the rebirth element and the pining/past tragedy element
Fantastic translation.The MC, Jing Beiyuan, had the worst luck in that the one he was destined to be with for 7 lifetimes instead became his enemy, not his lover. Then he had 5 miserable lifetimes after that trying to get close to him, before essentially giving up and trying to drink from the river of forgetfulness but that didn't work out either. Now the story starts with the seventh and last life, and, he has complicated feelings? He claims all he wants now is a peaceful life, but, it seems he can't escape royal intrigues, and, he's trying to decide whether it's time to let go of his feelings REALLY BIG SPOILER The ML doesn't appear to be the man he was supposedly destined to be with, but someone else
EXCEPT, the Crown Prince actually isn't the ML of this novel!
The MC is born again into his first lifetime with all of his memories intact. Even if his body is young, the MC's memories are hundreds of years old and the MC's heart has grown cold. He'll help the Crown Prince to the throne again, but the MC doesn't love the Crown Prince anymore and the MC wants to avoid being killed by a paranoid ruler again.
Rather, the ML of the novel is Wu Xi, the hostage Shaman from a foreign country. The first 90% of the story covers the 10 years when the MC and ML grow up in the Capital, mainly housebound. The MC is careful to appear to be a useless fop while actually scheming nonstop to promote the Crown Prince and protect himself. Wu Xi is seen as a little kid, with high IQ and martial arts, but low EQ. By the time the ML is a tall, strapping man, 90% of the story is passed, and the romance and the final battle begin. It's a happy ending.
If there's one word I could use to describe this novel, Melancholic would be it.
I don't even know what or how exactly Melancholy feels like, much like the novel. It gave me that feeling that I have no idea how to put into words but it's there and I feel it. Jing Beiyuan is a very sad character. For someone who lives through life and death, have all the memories of his past 6 lives, and was given a chance to relive his most painful lifetime again in order to amend what went wrong in the past, when in fact he was already so over it, This character and the way he looks at life are just sometimes heartbreaking. This novel tells a story about a group of people, each of them is burden with problems and responsibilities. It gave you a closer look at life and the harsh reality behind it. What is important to me the most about this novel, for the first time ever since I've started getting into Danmei is not the BL love story between the MC and ML. No one in the core characters group in this novel is a good person, except for Wu Xi. They aren't necessarily bad or horrible, that is if they were given choices, but much like what Zhou Zishu gave us in TYK, there are just too many things that are messed up and sometimes, albeit the incredible power one holds even over heaven and earth, things can't always go the way one wants. You don't come out of the book agree with everything they did and let's be honest they could have done a lot of things better, much better, but that's the flaw of our characters, and that's the beauty of the book, It's like real life, you made wrong decisions, that you regret, that you know you would regret, but you did it and sometimes the scars, It's going to stay with you forever. The ending reflects this aspect a lot, in a clear cut way It's a happy ending, MC and ML got together, but there are just too many leftovers tangled stories to the very end of the journey that you know for sure, their heart for the very long time to come will still be entangled with those and moving on isn't an option, but life goes on and they just have to deal with it and accept that no one has control over everything. The character Wu Xi is so simple. He was written as a naive childlike person, who just like what most of us are when we were at the younger years of age, so innocently passionate about our dream and thinks too simplistic. The way he looks at life is really a complete contrast to Jing Beiyuan's hence Wu Xi to Beiyuan is like a breath of fresh air in the world that to him, is full of conspiracy, twist, and turn. Helian Yi, his story too is heartbreaking. At an earlier stage of the novel, he was an ex-lover from the past life of Jing Beiyuan but the story ended with him being much more than that. The decision he made and how he ended up especially after reading TYK is truly sad. Zhou Zishu, everything Zishu went through in this book leads to the things he encounters in the next one. His story from the beginning to the end is full of tragic consequences that he himself for the most part is the one responsible for. In TYk, when Zishu said he's done so many terrible things in his past life and "the 3 years timebomb he put on himself, to be a wanderer in Jiang hu one last time feel more like a wishful thinking, and that he doesn't deserve it" when you read this book, you get it. Everyone ended this journey with scars that will sit with them for a very long time to come, this novel overall is very heavy to the heart. But I love it, so much. (Less)
> 5 stars for great character development on all the characters, especially the MC
> 4 stars for the romance. I found this story focused on the MC's second chance at life and put the romance with the ML in the background. Not that there's anything wrong with that as the MC is so badass, but it did sometimes feel like the ML is an afterthought. I also probably have an unpopular opinion based on the other reviews but...
I think it would've been a more interesting story if the MC (Jing Beiyuan) was able to reconcile with his ex (Helian Yi) rather than end up with the ML (Wu Xi). I think it's sad that even though Jing Beiyuan and Helian Yi loved and understood each other so much in their past life, they still ended tragically because they couldn't learn to trust each other. I think it would be really satisfying if Jing Beiyuan was able to learn why Helian Yi was so paranoid in their past life and they get a second chance at being able to trust each other. That's probably too idealistic considering the pressures Helian Yi would have as emperor and that he doesn't also have memories of previous lives to draw upon. Oh well, I can dream.
So the romance is not that satisfactory, but the politics also not that interesting for me. What I like is Beiyuan finally moving on. Helian Yi got his own karma. And WuXi is such a good person who we can trust.
Old Fox and the Little Toxin*cough* Lord Seventh and the Shaman Thus far, I think that out of Sha Po Lang, Guardian and Lord Seventh this is my favourite. The court intrigues were not boring and I really, really just simply adore the characters. There's just something captivating in the MC - Jing Beiyuan - who's already several hundreds years old via multiple reincarnations, went past a tragic love and out the other way. If I had to compare him to anyone, he's got the guts and morality of Wei WuXian... more>>
