"He spent a lot more effort on Xie Ke in his previous life than this, wishing he could pick the stars in the sky for him. Now that the positions had been reversed, he could see it clearly: it turned out that if you didn't want someone, no matter how much they tried, it was useless." - MC

oooh, ML actually explained what the misunderstanding was. Early chapter 1-57 I have the same thoughts with MC that there was NO misunderstanding. But not ML explained it, I'm like oooooh.

I actually like this, ML explaining his side clearly. I was about to skip chapters because Im tired of MC and MLs push and pull. Then I got interested when ML explained his side. Not like some novels that said its a misunderstanding, although I was naked with that guy in the bed thats a misunderstanding. 🥴🥵

Although ML already explained everything MC already said the truth came too late. Im already a new person. I forgave everyone in the past but does not mean I will give second chance. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just my thoughts here: MC cant give second chance but isn't this hypocrisy or irony? I mean he wants to make everything right and compensate his family (who was killed because of him and for those people who was killed for protecting him). But he himself can't give a chance? 🤔 Well I guess you can't give a second chance to the people you really dont have feelings. Like they are some strangers.

MC spent 100 years thinking and learning. While ML spent thousands or so many world think of How to get MC back. If that isn't love then I dont know. But still I just want to kick and punch ml.

I do t hate ML anymore. They spent their lives in this world but they didnt got together. Im alread at chapter 93/102

I actually like this novel, although I skipped a lot.

First life : A tragic past.

Second life: forgave but no chance. Grew old but not together. Redemption arc.

Third life: forgave and made new memories.

ML sneaks into MC's room and *hugs, kisses and licks* MC when MC's still asleep (oh ffs... what a creep).

Then ML eventually finds out MC also has memories of his past life, wants nothing to do with him and just have a good laid-back life with his mother and her family. He knows MC decided to give up on everything cuz he was exhausted from all the fighting he did in previous life, betrayed by ML, etc. Then knowing what ML did wrong, feeling all this guilt, did ML back off because MC wanted it?

NO. He decided to continue to be selfish, because his feelings, his guilt takes first place for him. His obsession on MC makes it so that, he completely disregards MC's plans for this life and DOES whatever the f*ck he wants, regardless of what MC thinks.

Yeah uh-huh. We got this guy for ML.

If there's anything I love about this, it's that MC doesn't accept ML easily. I love how MC doesn't even hate ML, the complete indifference HURTs more. I love it everytime ML writhes and dies inside from regret.

they don't end up together in their second life. Their relationship was a doomed one and no matter how it happened, if they had gotten together at the end of their second life, the relationship would've been imbalanced. People who only see the MC rejecting ML's sacrifices and advances forget that it was all tit for tat. MC was very clear minded and tired of everything. And most importantly, he doesn't deserve to go through that heartbreak he suffered in his first life again. The second life is more of a healing as well as growth time for both of them. In the third life, they meet and get together. At this point they don't need more of the drama anymore. They both suffered a lot and grew into who they are now. They have long created the foundations for their relationship. Wasting time now just because they 'just met' when their souls already call out to each other is.... Very impractical as well as out of character for them

Unlike what another reviewer said, the MC and ML both love each other and it shows. Not every person is the same, and hence their reactions are different. Th MC is a clear minded person who believes in doing something. He doesn't mourn the ML because he is determined to get him back. He is so calm it's scary, and that's what makes the most impact. He does everything to get the ML back and that's his way of showing his love and concern. He's very practical, and more importantly, he's experienced enough to know that his tears will do nothing for anybody. He's pitiful like that.

for real, unlike how many other wife chasing crematorium stories always make us hate the ML first and then whitewash him halfway through the story in the most illogical way possible, this one gives us a lot of foreshadowing and makes us realise that things aren't that black and white.

The ML said that he acted unruly in the first moments of 2nd lifetime, bcoz he felt he didn't do anything wrong. Yet how come he also said, after he finished the first life with MC, that he felt hatred for himself and regret?

Also, The first thing he did in their second lifetime was to assault physically the MC instead to ask forgiveness. The ML should had apologized first since he knew he was wrong and it was supported by the scene when the ML got out of the world, he learned that MC was not actor and his guess was wrong.

After reading till chapter 90+ the MC really felt like a Mary-sue. He is the most beautiful person in the novel, his brother princes are jealous of his talents, one drop of his blood can cure illnesses. I'm really impressed with how the author didn't make him seem op with how low-key he was acting, but at the same time managing to make it seem like no one deserves to be with him

The characters are a fresh sorts for me, although their dynamics is not what I'd support. For a title with Buddha in its name, I'd say the MC is somewhat of a hypocrite. MC left behind his love in the 1st life, but that doesn't mean he became apathetic. He was left with hatred and with that, the ML was the one suffering in the 2nd cycle. He knew how much his actions hurt the ML, and it was all intended. Meanwhile the ML was on a whole misunderstanding about the world, but his abuse was unintentional. To be fair, the MC was mainly acting on self defence against the guy who killed him, but you also have to remember that ML took for granted MC's love and that they've already done things a couple would've done previously, and with how ML misunderstood a lot of things, it's no wonder ML was more brash and delusional when he returned. I think it's really established later on that ML is very naive. The start of the novel just really makes you want to punch him.

FZY’s growth from being super self-sacrificial and over-accommodating to the point of being taken advantage of; to being apathetic to the world (and likely depressed) and holding negative feelings (fear, anger, etc.) to XK; to finding purpose in life, and no longer being effected by XK/acceptance of his actions; to positive emotions towards XK (gratitude) ; and finally a healthy love with XK. XK’s growth from being the typical toxic Chinese ML that’s obsessed with the MC, wants to lock them up, and forces themselves on to the MC; to realizing just how selfish his “love” was and giving the MC autonomy and respect while still trying to help them behind the scenes; to losing his memory and having a purer relationship that is free of expectations (I actually loved this memory-loss thing because it showed that XK treated FZY so well even without reason— like he didn’t remember his past and feel like this is the only way to get FZY to love him, etc. XK just genuinely felt that FZY being by his side and happy was enough. He didn’t need FZY to like/love him or any physical relationship. XK was happy to love FZY without any expectation of a return in feeling, which I felt really hammered in his character growth.) ; to regaining his memory, dealing with his guilt and insecurities

SO VERY REFRESHING WITH NO EVIL LORD GOD OR EVIL WORLD CONSCIOUS!!!

it takes multiple lifetimes for the ML to get forgiveness from the MC which kind of makes sense especially if the MC was someone that disappointed in the ML
