Nice novel with the right mix of comedy, romance and obstacles to overcame for the couple to reach their happy ending.

After 500 years of marriage, the MC is fed up with her almost silent, uncommunicative and a bit controlling husband and decides to divorce. He seems to comply without any opposition but immediately after the divorce cerimony, he steals a powerful magical artifact, which can travel though time, to go back before their marriage and kill her. Luckily, the MC delays him and joins him during the time jump. Although... more>> shocked and speechless by her ex husband's inexplicable actions, the MC manages to convince the ML to cooperate in preventing their previous selves from falling in love and marry. The first part of the novel is the best: funny, light hearted with plenty of comedy as the two leads soon realizes that it is no easy task to stop fate from happening. The MC gradually learns about the ML's past and why he was secretive, taciturn, almost unloving during their marriage. The second part of the novel is darker and sadder. It explores in details the ML's past but, my personal opinion, I felt it dragged a little and reiterate something we already know.

It finally improves towards the end, I especially liked how the ending connectes to the beginning of the novel <<less

My emotions are overflowing it is not right how this novel manipulated my mind and soul to like it so much that I can't describe.....

    • The story was started with a bit of light hearted plot that I thought whole plot would be like that but no it was so good and deeply intriguing and how strangely and mysterious things gets adding up and finally gets balanced out you feel like what I was reading, where I ended up coming and where I ended my journey
    • The way both main protagonists are so right in their places you wont be able to judge or say that should do this or that because whatever happened in the novel was finely balanced out throughout the chapters with reasons explained and understanded by the main leads
    • Both sacrificed so much for eachother and finally got their happy ending
    • You won't get to see more than 3 kissing scenes in the novel because the plot is more instead of the romance means the setting up of romance comes when both main leads are in understanding with eachother and maybe some angered up scene right.. sometimes I really wanted FL to just cuddle with ML and hug the ML tightly I really felt I was with

      them lol because you wont get those romantic scenes that much I wanted them to have atleast act coquettishly atleast so that lessen the longing and pain and misunderstanding

      looks like I am too single lol

      but I fell in love with them both I really feel for them like a mother

    • I like the novel so much I love it I like it so I give it 5 stars totally worth it everyone should read it highly recommended
    • It's a happy ending

This story actually has so much potential! I only read the translated chapters by Bunnyonthemoon but so far it's superrr interesting. The first few chapters that I read laid the background of the story. It's about a pair of fairy and demon (or devil? Idk but he's from the dark side) who very much in love they defied even the Queen of Kunlun to marry each other. But during the 500 years of their married life, our MC grow weary of the husband who cared for her in a strict... more>> way and demanded a divorce (it's so relatable dangg, even true love would wear off when you can't accommodate each other's taste. The MC basically said "I love you but I love spicy food more" lmao). The husband (idk he's the ML or not) has soooo many secret. His actions were yet explained and it might contain some secret purposes behind it.

The MC only started to notice after their divorce that she barely know her husband, she's almost clueless. Maybe it's because she truly loved him so she never questioned him and just trusted him blindly. I feel like there would be many secrets unfold in the future, mainly due to the ML.

This is a shout out to translators out there to pick this story up cause it has the potential! It's Jiu Lu Fei Xiang's novel afterall so I don't doubt the quality

[additional]

finally finished the novel. Still 5 stars from me. The story is well paced, ML opened the time space quite a few times so the story can get kinda confusing since going back in time automatically altered the future. Tbh I dont really read the explanations because it's not that interesting. It's mostly linked to the ML, as he is the biggest mystery in this novel. And we don't even know the FL's family

their romance is sweet but subtle. I forgot they had a kiss or not until the end.
Spoiler

they ended up stayed together, yeay

This novel is a masterpiece (even though I'm not a fan of first person POV), both ML and FL are quite stubborn and headstrong (in different ways). I've read 3 novels of JLFX and all were relatively lighthearted and didn't make me cry. I thought it's gonna be like those 3 but of course it's Jiu Liu Fei Xiang 😀

so far, I'm giving this a 5 star!

I read this while I'm having an emotional turmoil, and man, I thought for sure this one is lighthearted. I was wrong! A few chapters in and my tears are flowing like dam.

I can only say this one is going to be one of my favorite reads this year. Aside from making my brain works harder in learning the world-building, the past etc. (I don't really read Xianxia), my only problem is that there's no side chapters, so I'm left alone imagining more of their romance.

Not the most perfect novel but it brought me joy and tears.

"Because neither of us expected that after five hundred long years, we could still feel the tenderness and passion we once shared."

They met the versions that made them re remember why they were together in the first place and I was tearing tf up reading it lol. So much lessons to be learned from this novel. They were immature when they got together and they paid a huge price for it. Fortunately they had "second chance" unlike real life,... more>> without efforts some rs are bound to dissipate.

"Not so perfect" cuz I'm salty that the author didn't give them a baby. 😆 <<less
