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.

"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.

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.

MC misunderstood that the reason why ML killed him in past life was because he (ml) didn't like him (mc) and ML was just deceiving him

but no, ML wasn't deceiving him. Here's comes the misunderstanding in ML's side. ML mistook MC as a fellow actor because ML is a veteran top actor with a system and he thought that MC is an actor like him because MC is not like anyone in all of his years in world hopping, he's like a bug. ML thought that MC has the same ability like him that can heal himself through the system (since all of the actors a.k.a transmigrators have system, right?) and that's why he killed MC because he thought that they can still meet after they're done with their mission without the limitation of the system

at first, I pity MC and thought that ML got what he deserves but as time passes by, as I gradually advance through the chapters, I pity ML. Not because of the reason why he killed the MC but because of his repentance and how he does things just to make things easier for MC with his efforts.

you can see how ML got character development up until the final chapter and it is heartbreaking.

I can't blame MC for being indifferent because you can see just how much he suffered from his past life. His family being killed, One of his friends? (Or more like son or brother?) was also killed by protecting him. His friend betraying him and his lover who killed him. Not to mention that he saw his lover marrying another woman and many concubines which he tried to stop. Just how imagine how heartbreaking it is.

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.

ML dies to save MC's data, the world is erased, and they meet again in a new world. Seriously, this novel does not make it easy on the ML to redeem himself.

actually reassured ML that he had forgiven him and that he would not leave the ML. Oftentimes novels of this genre forget to address the ML's insecurity and make it all about the MC, but it felt important, especially in the context of this novel, for the ML to have his love fully and unconditionally returned.

After all that suffering and endless years of regret, and then further years spent ruminating on his actions and changing his perspective, it felt like he had suffered enough and really deserved the security of feeling cherished and loved back. ML's insistence that he never expected or thought MC would accept him or forgive him really made it that much more clear to me that he had truly changed.

I do feel like anyone who had spent millennia just following through the motions of an actor as ML did would have also made mistakes as he did to not appreciate the love of MC in the first life, and by the end, MC is able to see ML at his core for all he is, and forgive him. It's a really touching conclusion.

out of probably thousands of years of existence before and after meeting MC is the most unrealistic part of this novel. But that kind of peerless love is what fiction is about. Definitely made me cry when he spoke his feelings aloud. ML is the definition of following through with your words— he says that he wants MC to live well and be happy even if he isn't in MC's life... and then he truly does allow MC to flourish on his own, literally until the end of the world. He really does distance himself from MC, and stops even showing up in MC's life at all. The amount of willpower it must have taken. The character growth. It's all so well done.

I like how Qi Rong is portrayed as a character who is innocent/s*upid but still cares MC the most in his first life.

But the things that make me like their relationship is because in the second life Qirong didn't show up at all.

It's all happened because she was already saved by the butterfly effect that MC make, so she didn't need to be a s*ave and become servant in the palace.

The fact that Qi Rong's doesnt remain her memory but still familiar with MC also made me very emotional, and the moment where the MC felt melancholy because Qi Rong didn't remember him but was happy that she was okay was also very touching.

eventually changed his way of interacting with the MC in his second life. At first, he was doing everything domineeringly (in the usual way you would expect from a yandere ML) and while it takes a bit, he begins to realize how his actions would not win over the MC and chooses to love him from a distance.

MC sent an arrow to the ML, to make him truly understand why the MC gave up on love, because when facing death by his loved one like that... god. that whole part was written so well and it was what ended up hitting the nail in the coffin for ML, it truly made him understand MC and he was able to empathize for once

it's HE!! But it does not happen til near the end

the ML is a system player who has undertaken this super duper hard mission to be the ultimate winner in life for this world so that he can score points for his organization (which he create in the system world) to achieve something like godhood among players. To make it more difficult the overall God of the system decided to add another player in to disrupt the plot of the novel and the character that the disruptor was supposed to play was the MC's character. Alas, because the overall God put too much love into the MC's character he gave him life and so he became OOC and the disruptor player could not enter. The ML knows of the plot so when he met the OOC person, he decided that he was the disruptor. One thing to note about players is that they can't feel pain because the system blocks it from them and they can "fast forward" the timeline (ie skip a few days/ weeks when there are no important plot lines) to speed up the storyline. So, even though he was hurting the MC, the ML didn't know that he was actually hurting him and not considering his feelings because he thought the couldn't feel pain and knew that no harm no foul among players. Sigh that poor poor MC. In the end, the ML killed the MC thinking that they could meet again at the player rest area but lo and behold he found out that the MC was not a player and he actually killed and hurt the man he loved so dearly. And so he wreaked havoc on the system and other worlds trying to reboot the MC's world (so you can imagine how crazy this dude was). Alas, the MC he met was the rebirth MC (who knew and understood that he was doing as players did) who gave him no chance at all and was only focused on his loved ones. So, the (at this point low key crazy) ML tries to force the MC but keeps failing until he slowly accepted that the MC was not in love with him anymore and could never be in this lifetime. From then on he stood from afar, silently protecting him, hoping to catch a glimpse of the MC and burning his life force to sustain this world that he forcibly rebooted until his life force ran out.

the author gave the ML a clean slate for the MC to fall in love with him again. Because the MC had felt too much hurt from the ML, the "naive" and unknowing version of the ML was the only one he could fall for. On the ML's side, because he had hurt the MC so so much, he was always threading on thin ice and could never fully love the MC and give his all if it wasn't for his blank slate moment. The MC learnt to love again while the ML won his love and they both slowly healed from the scars that they created on each other. There was honestly no other person for them because of how deeply engraved the other person was in their hearts.

After reading till chapter 90+ the MC really felt like a Mary-sue (not in a bad way). 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 very fresh 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 had a lot of misunderstanding about the previous world, and his ab*se was unintentional. You have to remember that ML took for granted MC's love and that they've already done things a couple does. 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.
