So, the MC is this perfect beautiful magical girl sent back in time after being pampered in her sect to kill the demon king. She proceeds to not do that, be okay with the demon king acting incredibly devilish and killing all sorts of people and having them r*ped etc, and then be all super sympathetic for poor demon baby guy (because she's a total psychopath herself). Anyway things get complicated with MC oh so comedically trying to hypocritically and not really stop ML as he mu*ders tons of innocent women and men and do all sorts of atrocities for power. (Author loves to play up that ML isn't bad it's just his nature haha so it's fine to mu*der people and do evil stuff especially since he has tragic backstory.) MC fakes her death teehee and then ML kills tons of people. ML before r*ped MC and had tons of fun torturing but boohoo he feels sad after he has MC killed. Anyway later MC comes back and says I love you but I don't love you and they both romantically die together then get happy endings. Forget all the suffering of the other people involved because we do not care about non-protagonists. This is disgusting

First off, both the MC and ML are psychopaths. The ML is at least an open evil monster but the MC acts like a hypocrite the whole novel. All she had to do was restrain the ML but no she tends to enjoy being useless damsel in distress or messing around. It's incomprehensible what she does and even more so given her goal. Side characters have very little anything to them other than Mc's mom and her cultivator brother whose past lives appear early on. Anyway countless atrocities later, MC is still unwilling to talk to anyone in the past about the dangers of everything and is super useless. Luckily ML provides MC with easy motivations and stuff to do so she just dies. The biggest issue of the novel is how the MC is a initiativeless character driven by others who not only acts out of character immediately after saying she shouldn't but also is shielded by the author from any sort of consequence ever. Tr*sh. Beyond this, at no point is any action done by the MC to warn anyone about the ML, nor does the MC explain any of the Ml's actions. As for ML he can't communicate or be honest to save his life. Both MC and ML are very much spoiled in terms of their identities and in the way they act even though the ML was a demon baby who killed his mom after being born lol; during which nobody acted to save her. There is a sheer cliff of s*upidity you encounter here that cannot be climbed no matter what.

The author is good at creating locations for people to travel to. Both Main Characters are true scum who seem like they would easily love each other so they truly have good compatibility. Novel has an actual ending.

Tantain Jin doesn't know that Li Susu took over Ye Xiwu's body. So as far as he knows, his wife in the beginning tortures and humiliates him. Sure, it gets somewhat better after LSS takes over, and he does notice that she starts helping him and becomes somewhat nicer to him. But she makes it clear she doesn't actually care for him and still treats him either as an enemy or as a tool. He thinks she saves him because she needs him alive to help her with the aphrodisiac poison, since that's the only reason the Ye family let them get married in the first place.

The ori!YXW is evil. She plans to give her older sister (who never did anything to her) the aphrodisiac poison which is extremely cruel, which would force Ye Bingchang to have s*x with a man she doesn't care about, not just once, but repeatedly, otherwise she would die. She does this only out of jealously and one-sided love for a man who doesn't love he. The ML prevents this and uses her scheme to save himself, punishing her with the poison while doing so. I think ori!YXW deserves this, her method of getting rid of a love rival (her own sister) is too awful.

After TTJ and ori!YXW get married, she treats him like a s*ave, tortures him and humiliates him on and regular basis. He has every reason to hate and despise her. After LSS takes over the body and starts saving him, she still only does the bare minimum. She doesn't treat him like a person. She saves him from the worst humiliation from the prince, but lets him sleep in a cold shed and doesn't even let his hand (that got crushed during the prince's bullying/torture) get basic medical treatment.

So until LSS stabs the needles into his heart, one could argue that most of the stuff he puts her through is not really the equivalent of what she did to him.

Tricking her into mu*dering Xiao Lin is obviously the worst, but LSS does realize that 'all's fair in war' and that TTJ took the easy way in trying to win the war. It's traumatizing to her, and he does have sinister motives (wanting to force her to come back to him because he's subconsciously fallen in love with her but don't know the right way to win her heart), but he didn't have a reason to let sympathy for her win over his war strategy.

Calling what happens between TTJ and LSS in the mortal arc 'rape' is a stretch. He was responsible for giving the aphrodisiac to ori!YXW, but it was a way to save himself and Ye Bingchang (who no matter what did at this point not deserve to have her life ruined in such a cruel way). He didn't take advantage of the effects until LSS lost her protection against the poison and was about to die from it. So him sleeping with her is of course a sort of punishment for her, but he could also have let her die, and she herself was aware that she would do anything to survive, even have s*x with him. He didn't destroy her antidote, she put herself in a situation where it got destroyed.

So it was an issue of 'f*ck or die' for LSS, and they both wanted her to survive.

Also at this point she had tried to kill him - after he saved her life (and she was the one who put herself in danger). The nails that she stabbed him causes him an enormous amount of pain that goes on for the rest of his life. He doesn't know why she did it, only that after he fell in love with her, she tried to kill him. I think it's normal to be vindictive after something like this happens.

Him putting her in a prison cell and later on not getting her medical treatment mirrors how she treated him in the beginning - it's cruel, but not worse that what she did to him. It's the mentality of 'as long as the person is alive, she doesn't need to be comfortable or healthy' - this was exactly her attitude towards him.

added a scene or two of how their married life played out, because the ML really liked being beaten up by his wife a little too much lol

stereotypical evil SFL - she had no real depth to her character, only there to cause trouble, make the FL jealous and cause misunderstandings

during the mortal arc, and the turning point was when TTJ embroided the bridal veil for her. This is also seen by the fact that her biggest grudge against him is that he seemingly chose Ye Bingchang over her, and she clearly has jealousy towards YBC when she's back in the immortal realm, even though she completed her mission and logically shouldn't care about YBC and TTJ. But she obviously was upset that he chose someone else over her, even though she should not expect someone she tried to kill to have any compassion for her. On the other hand she seems to not have much problem with having slept with him in the mortal arc even though that should logically be more traumatizing for her if she didn't care about him at all.

after the last dream arc where she realizes how much TTJ cares for her and also how much she and everyone else were prejudiced against him and never helped him

A tragic 'BE'/bad ending where TTJ sacrifices himself for the world and dies, (mistakenly) coming to terms with the fact that he will never be loved, but learning to love others. LSS finally realizes how lonely and tragic his life was. But the BE ending is immediately by a happy ending. LSS is forced to endure what TTJ endured for her sake (minus the nail torture - she really doesn't suffer even a fraction of what he suffers) - seeing her lover die and leaving her to grieve, spending centuries looking for his soul. Ironically it's their daughter that finally finds him.

- she does not kill him initially when he's weak because if she doesn't disable part of his power first, he'll just revive into a stronger version of himself. This is said Multiple Times.

- her goal is to kill him as he is the future Demon Lord — this title meaning less of the cutesy storybook archetype or the woobified fanfic Bad Boy, but a genocidal, cruel, sadistic mu*derer. The author covered how cold/inhumane he was pretty extensively with how he enjoys torturing & killing those who offend him & how he fails to understand human compassion/morality from a young age

- she sees his tragic past & sad childhood, & actively tries not to sympathize with him, as this will mess up her ability to carry out her mission & kill him for everyone's good

Later on, she discovered, she was the one who failed him.

When 2nd ML turned into a demon due to some drugs, everyone tried to save him. However, when ML started to turn into a demon because he tried to save FL and others. Everyone immediately tried to kill him even though he hadn't hurt anyone in that verse.

ML's love was so deep and unconditional, albeit clumsy. By the end of the BE, FL regretted she didn't love him enough.

The final ending actually mirrored the ending of the first half, but the position was switched.

The one who taught ML about love was not FL, but his shizun in the latter half of the novel.

FL didn't have enough patience to guide him. She believed he was a lost cause. Whenever she had her hope up, he dashed it thanks to his low EQ.

Shizun knew he had a learning disability and guided him accordingly.

Imo, ML's understanding of love remained at the kindergarten level. He simply mimicked what shizun let him experience during his time as a disciple. The way he expressed it might be quite crazy, but his love was pure and childlike. After all, he only knew what he was taught and he was taught only the noblest kind of love. It gave you the feeling of receiving a gift from a special needs child.

She really is a part of the dao immortal and that's how she grew up. Like how religious people are (no offense). Since she went back, she starts to see the truth. The ML Tantai Jin also known as the demon king at their time that wrecked havoc was bullied and all the mean stuff. His literally has a classic villainess transmigrated female lead background story. Abandoned, betrayed, weak, but can control monsters with his blood. He only saw power as the only way and FL was trying to keep her family alive who are in the future.

Also, no she did not let him kill wantonly without excuse. She literally is the one who prevents him from doing this most of the time although sometimes she can't because she has a mission. This is also the reason why they have a love hate relationship.

Turns out Ye Bingshang, from the start had stolen FL's stuff. Ye XiWu or Li Susu is actually the last phoenix and her father failed to protect her. He found treasures to give to her and her mother many years back but those treasures were taken by Ye Bingshang, which is why Tantai Jin had liked her with no proper reason.

Ye Xiwu gives one of her eye to Tantai Jin but he never finds out until the scene where she jumps of the tower (this is the one in the synopsis)

So the ML didnt really know how to feel shame (in the first 100 or so chapters) and he didnt feel many emotion in general so that was pretty interesting to read.. and the FL didnt really "love" the ML (which is understandable since he was... uh not very nice towards her) while she was in YeXiwu´s body and neither did she know that he loved her.. so thats another thing to note. All in all the romance progresses rather slow imo. And the author must really be the MLs mother to give him such a happy ending.. yes the novel has a happy ending so rest assured!!

But most especially, Taitai jin. This boy has been unloved and abandoned all his life I just want to hug him.

And here's the thing, I know where the FL is coming from but just give him a break idk but they did hurt each other so oh well. They have a lot of misunderstandings that I just want to lock them in a room. COMMUNICATION IS KEY friends.

Atleast it's HE and they will start again. This time with a family. Omg A Mi is so cute!!

When Ye Xiwu cast a spell to make Tantai Jin uncomfortable, and Tantai Jin who was masochistic (another pitiful trait in the novel that didn't include in the drama) begging Ye Xiwu to hit him, then Ye Xiwu who hate him so much take advantage of this (she didn't know he was a M) and hit him until he was in soak in pool of blood.

She who purely hate him at this moment, and him who hate himself who enjoy she ab*sed him. I feel this scene was so sad and pitiful for both of them. And don't get him wrong, even though he was an M. He wasn't truly enjoy getting ab*sed, in my opinion. He just getting used of the hatred of people and since he like Ye Xiwu, he can't help but got pleasure when she ab*sed him. Just like a mental of stockholm syndrome victim.

It didn’t really get touched upon later but ML has masochistic tendencies and he gets excited when FL treats him roughly.

But holy cow was his birth quite frightening to imagine and just off putting. You can say he would be like a shark, killing his own siblings in the womb

Im very hypocritical in saying this but oh well it's just a weird feeling. I physically frowned reading that the MC didn't help the ML in the beginning. Besides the upsetting feeling I want to say I understood to an extent cause with his evil bone or something he'll literally embody evil and won't be 'good'. I guess I was thinking along the lines that since he hasn't f*cked up the world yet being kind to him then won't hurt? God aren't I hypocritical.
