Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.It was the twenty-third year of Tianxi*. Rumours traversed the streets that the all-knowing Imperial Advisor suffered a great calamity and could not help but enter seclusion to focus on cultivation. However, the commoners secretly clapped their hands and rejoiced. In the winter of the same year, a young monk appeared in the Hui Zhou Fu’s Ningyang District.
The monk’s monastic title was Xuan Min, his memories all missing, yet was versed in the arts of Feng Shui Kan Yu**. On the very first day arriving in Ningyang, he did not hesitate to take care of a dangerous manor, picking up Xue Xian, who was hidden there, along the way.
Since then, Xue Xian – who had been all-powerful in the first half of his life – gained a new life pursuit: to get this baldy*** who had only a good outer appearance to take his last breath and “smile from his grave”.
Xue Xian: If you are unhappy, then I will be happy. If you die, I’ll laugh my ass off.
Xuan Min: …

So the MC is a f*cking dragon, literally, and a badass one. I mean there are tons of stories where the MC is a mythical beast, or a cat, or a hamster, or something, but then for no real good reason they're still pretty weak (animal form is just for cuteness or something) and once they transform into a human you like never see them as an animal again. Not here. This MC is a heavenly dragon and he has the power to show for it, which means that most scenes where the MC does anything after about the first 1/3 of the novel is, by default, extremely cool.
When it comes to characterization, plot, setting, and even pacing, this novel does well again. The main focus in the plot is the supernatural, and revenge, as the MC recovers his power. Side characters were engaging and entertaining, a hodgepodge that the MC/ML picked up along the way, including a ghost, a blind dude, and a random craftsman. Although I will say the side characters really faded out into nothing at the final climax of the story, which would have been better if they were more involved somehow.
I also rather liked the MC's flippant personality and the ML's calm/introspective nature as well. The dynamic between the two was good, extremely enjoyable to watch MC bicker with ML as they both try to beat each other in shows of power.
However, the one thing I found to be lacking was the pacing of the romance.
At a certain point in the story, maybe about halfway through, it seemed like the MC was starting to develop feelings for the ML. Yada yada the usual slow burn... but then, the author OUT OF NOWHERE added a nasty gimmick that just felt out of place. (This is kind of a spoiler but not for any major plot points) --but uh yeah apparently dragon's spit is an aphrodisiac.
I think the author intended it to be comedy? And to be fair, when it was first introduced it was pretty funny, but then the author made it 10x more potent and serious of a matter than it needed to be, and its inclusion in the story at the time felt really pointless. It seemed like something that should be in an extra chapter after the story ended, not in the middle of mystery and intrigue. Not only were the MC and ML too h**ny to even think straight, but the MC just ended up getting rubbed off by the ML. The MC and ML already were getting along well and starting to develop feelings, so it didn't feel necessary at all to have this random-ass aphrodisiac gimmick put into the story so that the MC could then feel awkward about the ML for like 5 chapters afterwards. To make it worse, the author never detailed s*xual scenes, so this whole scene was just a vaguely alluded blurry m*sturbation, where some of the readers who commented below the chapter didn't even catch onto what happened--so it can't even be counted as a good smut scene.
Not to mention, this whole dragon spit aphrodisiac thing is permanent, which I found jarring. Like you don't NEED an aphrodisiac to have good s*x, but the MC and ML, because of that setup, now have to get hopped up every time they do anything, even kiss? YO... calm down author. This story is about monks, dragons, and ghosts with BL as the side focus and was doing that very well, not a kinky smut story. Like these two are goin' around collecting zombified dragon body parts after a horrific incident and you just gotta do a 180 and ruin the tension like that??
So yeah, the dragon spit gimmick felt out of place and ruined the pacing of the slow burn relationship. It kind of made their relationship seem more... shallow than it had before? Instead of that, there could have been a meaningful conversation between the MC and ML or like a roundabout confession scene or something.
Still, I did like the overall dynamic between them and the gimmick didn't take up too much of the story. It just was unsatisfying considering this IS a BL, and because the rest of the story was so good. I did really love this story overall, but if anything, it is 70% because the MC is a badass dragon.
- arrogant mercurial disabled dragon who goes tsundere
- a mystery! Who is the monk and where are the dragon's bones
- lotsa magic and supernatural stuff, ghosts and arrays and so on
- a charming secondary cast with their own little mysteries
- s*x pollen / accidental aphrodisiac
- going into heat (kinda) (well the dragon gets really hot. Like temperature-wise)
- magic spiritual/empathic bond
- flying wheelchair!
- a very vague handjob and then some actual s*x at the end There are enough hints to figure out what's going on so the ending isn't a huge shocker, especially if you're familiar with the genre, but enough red herrings to keep it interesting. It's more about how the characters themselves will react to the truth that keeps the tension high. This is definitely the kind of pairing I favour, where the characters sort of meet by chance and come to like each other and get to know each other while growing as people/dragons. Not a huge time investment and well worth the read.

- There is no romance. No development in that direction and still at the end they were in "love". It would have been better even if the 'romance' wasn't there at all. They could have just stayed good friends.
Conclusion : Not recommended. It's kind of good but it's not worth it. There are other novels with rather good mystery & chemistry.- this story does not have good pacing: everything advances too fast as every single step MC takes is directly related to the main plot, including sub-plots that could've (should've) been used to develop a relationship/some actual connection between MC and ML
- POV switches, flashbacks, and narrative interruptions to explain something mid scene were too much as they would often occur when the story was getting exciting and the sudden pause of a scene was frustrating
- I liked the ML, but it really felt like his personality was changed in between chapters (and with very little time passing in the story as well) just to get a happy ending
- everything comes so easily to the MC to the point that even I was a little put off by it and I generally love MCs/love interests being OP
- I mostly felt bored while reading this story as the 'mystery' wasn't much of a mystery at all, but I was interested enough in the conclusion to keep reading
This isn't a bad story and there is a possibility that I was just not in the right mindset to read this and have fun with it.Love the ending as well, very satisfying HE
