I MTL'd it, but from what I got, although she isn't able to become immortal, her wedding gift from the Star Wolves is that her soul will be stabilized and she will always keep her memories, even if she dies and reincarnates. There was a pretty happy ending for everyone too.

The heart and warmth of this novel comes from its lovely depiction of human/demon friendship and perspective. In a way, this series somewhat reminded me of the relationships between the races in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba as well as Ushio and Tora. There's nothing forced when it comes to the interaction of the characters in this novel, in fact reading this was similar to meeting an old beloved friend: one who is flawed but still held dear. It manages to excel in pacing and tone, something that most novels which begin with large expectations fail to keep up with. There's no 'real' villain — only legitimate goals and reasons twisted and distorted by time, frustration, and human oversight. I don't think there was ever a moment that I got bored and gave the reading a break, in fact I wanted to know more about this world that the author gave life to.

Yuan Xiang, our heroine, isn't an earth-shattering beauty nor a heartless, incomparable 'genius'. For starters, she is startlingly ordinary, in the sense that she's approachable and could almost be substituted in by any other human. Nonetheless, as the story unfolds, we soon learn that Yuan Xiang's strength is her kind heart and openminded acceptance. She doesn't force anybody to change for the sake of 'modernity', instead this charming kid tries to understand and sympathise with the views of the other party, neither demonising nor glorifying their acts of violence and alienation. She's the kind of pacifist that's not exhausting to read about because she's such a genuinely likeable character. Even if she's not as sophisticated as the other cultivators from established schools, it's not a regrettable limitation that she's ashamed of. She herself acknowledges that she has a wholly different motivation to practice, and it's enough to keep the show running.

Nan He, the male lead, isn't another conventional angry mess. Actually what makes the characters of this story feel 'alive' is their departure from the cookie-cutter character tropes. The male lead's backstory isn't tragic for the sake of being tragic. Personally I think it was a great way to show a lesson he had to learn, one that proves to be a universal sentiment across both races: parents often know best, so keep your heart and ears open and listen.

The romance between Yuan Xiang and Nan He was not only adorable, it was hilarious and comfortable. This novel managed to portray an equal relationship not based on intimidation, domination and restlessness. Rather, it smells of saccharine freedom. Communication which is not strained with misunderstanding and faulty denials. Safe to say, it’s not love at first sight, but a gradual surrender.

10/10 would reread. The friendships Yuan Xiang managed to hoard create will definitely nourish your soul with satisfaction.

clearly an example of a confused powerful figure who is unable to let go of his own hate and grudges to avoid facing his vulnerable self, he isn't charging recklessly, he is just at the end of his rope.

This is a xianxia novel. A genre where martial arts is mixed with fantasy features such as demons, magic, etc. In the Xianxia genre, the main point isn't martial arts, but "Taoism", which is an important part of Chinese history. Mc's power is that she has strong spiritual power, so even tho she is a little stronger than others is not something so "cheat" like.

ML here is a tsundere but not a bickering one, he is older than MC but acts like someone younger because demons have a different mentality than humans, as you read the novel you feel that this makes sense because the author justifies all of her choices instead of just writing without consideration for the overall scenario.

ML has a lot of trauma and was left alone in the world, he doesn't know how to express himself, and like the other demons in this world, he has a very naive mentality that was the origin of these traumas and his distrust of humans.

There's this particular story about a woman who switches bodies with a man, and the MC is called in to help them switch bodies. The way it was written, I really rooted for these characters and the resolution was so satisfying that I wouldn't have cared to have seen an entire novel based on these characters.

.

The funny thing about seeing people criticizing MC for being weak is that if she could easily defeat these monsters, there would be even more people complaining that she is a Mary Sue OP.

She appears and then leaves before anyone but her grandmother can see her. There's nothing like "her being used" or being a "pushover" It's a very short and bittersweet scene that's more like "She needed to see". I precisely had to refute this statement because it seems to imply that MC is a dumb pushover, and I hate characters without pride or self-preservation who think that being decent is being trampled on, but this was not the case here, and I had to say it because the comment made me get a wrong impression of MC, thinking she would be one of those who keeps forgiving and being used by others.

In ch 118 this happens :

"She reluctantly held Yuan Xiang'er's hand and said: "Axiang, if you are free, go back and see your parents." (MC's older sister)

Yuan Xianger said, "Since my father and mother sold me at the beginning for thirty taels of silver, even if the grudge is over, I will not go back." (MC)

Yuan Chunhua was taken back: "How can we speak like this when we are born as children? After all, parents are parents and there is no reason to deny it. Moreover, it was a last resort at the beginning." (MC's older sister)

"Why can't I say that? I was clearly sold back then. The paper clearly reads, "Life, death, sickness, and death, each by destiny, four directions of physiology, let the master take its place, no entanglement, never recognize each other. Since I was sold as a commodity, naturally I'm no longer their daughter." (MC)

So no, she's not a pushover.

Then she ends up going, but if you read the scene (too long to put it here) you'll see that this is not a scene of redemption for the family.

Soon after that scene, this happens :

Qingyuan said with a smile, "I went to see her parents with you last night? I knew that the child's heart was still soft. Did you settle with your parents yesterday?" (A side character)

"Xiang'er doesn't need to reconcile with anyone. She just reconciled with herself." Nan He said. (ML)

Typical trope events:1) Chinese parents are evil and sell their girl children (and then MC gives them money anyway because she’s dumb like that) and 2) evil rapist cultivators and demons (first a tree wants to breed MC, and second because somehow making a bell artifact with a wolf bone just helps make women faint and easy to assault and nobody cares about this event or seeks help ever within the entire peasant community) and 3) Lots of s*x between MC and ML and 4) Plot armor saving dumb MC

TL issues:

• Chapters are chopped up but presented as new chapters (ex. Raw c1 is translated as chapters 1, 2 and 3 instead of chapter 1 part 1, part 2, and part 3).
• There seems to be missing chapters/sections. I don't know if I caught all of them, but it's more obvious in the action scenes.
• The TL is almost as hard to understand at times as the MTL, but I hesitate at calling this outright edited MTL because they're hard to read in different ways. It reads like it was TLed by someone who might know Chinese but isn't good at English.

You can say that it is a good ending, although my idealistic, happy end loving self would have preferred a more unrealistic ending where everyone can stay forever together.
