Gu Zuo: Are you sick?

Gongyi Tianheng: You have medicine?

Gu Zuo: You’re sick!

Gongyi Tianheng: If I say I’m sick, can you cure me?

Gu Zuo: If I say I have medicine, would you want it?

Gongyi Tianheng: However much you have is how much I want.

Gu Zuo: However much you want is how much I have.

Gongyi Tianheng: Then bring it all out.

Gu Zuo: …

Simply speaking, a scaredy-cat shou transmigrated and had to think of a way to survive. He had a golden finger called Medicine Refining System, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the ingredients needed to refine medicine and level up.

A great young master to an empire’s preeminent clan had a super high IQ, but his potential for cultivation was low. Unfortunately, pill refiners were too hard to develop, and weren’t restricted to his personal service. But he could acquire plenty of ingredients.

Two people, one was sick and one had medicine. Therefore, the one who was sick kept the one who had medicine, and everyone was happy.

I've made an honest effort of reading up to around 800 chapters, like it was pretty entertaining but some parts just kept rubbing me the wrong way and then I gave up reading after I reached a certain part.

... more>>
Spoiler

I think it was the time around when the ML has transferred his clan into the higher realm. He and Gu Zuo were in relationship for awhile by then but the ML said something along the lines of 'lets pretend we have nothing going around for my parents sake, they're not gonna take that their heir is dating another guy well, u understand that ofc' and god I undetstand that just dumping such an info on ur parents out of the blue is bad for their blood pressure and you have to ease them in a little but chapter after chapter ML showed no signs of breaking his parents in. And to make it even worse their baby was forming right around that time if I remember correctly. Like such a convenient plot for the ML, he couldn't bring out Gu Zuo in an upright manner unless he had an heir to continue their bloodline. And the baby too, it came too early into their relationship. Neither of them were prepared or ready to become a parent. It just kept making me feel bad so I had to give up at that point.

Umm I do feel I have less right to comment on this novel but ig I'm getting a bit frustrated. I know this is a slowburn and for someone who has read novels with 800-1000 chapters that isn't an issue for me. The premise attracted my attention, prolly the protagonist wasn't my cup of tea. The system was something that according to me shouldn't have been revealed too early to the ML even if the protagonist is just a naive teenager. Secondly the plot didn't catch my eye that much... more>> I felt it was repetitive, my personal preference would've been a gradual time skip that didn't take too many chapters and we could see a bit mature version of MC. I think i've gotten bored of the plot too early <<less

Read the raw version and enjoyed the entire story.

The "system" tag on the story's title isn't a typical system, per se. ... more>>
Spoiler

The MC's system is actually an inheritance artifact that's disguising itself as a system so as to more easily interact with its host, who comes from a modern world and was initially a fish out of water in the cultivation based world.

[collapse]

I would say it's a romance centered BL (yaoi, shonen ai) story, but the relationship is a very slow burn. MC doesn't realize his feelings for ML have gone from platonic to romantic until about 300 chapters in, and they don't confess to each other until another 100 more chapters, and they don't do more than smoochies/petting for almost another 200 more chapters beyond that (more than halfway through the whole novel!).

On the other hand, the slow progress of the relationship means we get to see it grow organically, going from employee-patron, to surrogate siblings, to most trusted BFF, to secret crush, to dates and kisses, to rolling the sheets, to old married couple. There's no angst for angst's sake, no character-torture for drama, no convoluted misunderstandings, no rivals in love... maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked the fluffy romance that forms the backbone of the story.

The overall plot actually progresses steadily for a thousand-chapter story. There's not much feeling of needless repetition even as our boys go from world to world as they rank up. Elements from the earlier worlds/sections actually turn out to be relevant or foreshadowing for things in later arcs. Earlier settings aren't forgotten even as the focus moves onward. <<less

After reading this a year ago, I think this is still my favorite chinese bl novel (which is surprising to me because I generally like a bit more meat/romance than this novel has). The world building the author does is absolutely incredible, the lore goes deeper than you realize, and unlike many cultivation novels, each part is interesting and exciting, and the plot holes aren't many or aren't obvious. As the MC and ML push through to greater heights, they still revisit old places and old friends, which is also... more>> nice!

The main couple is soooo complementary and I love their dynamic! The ML is definitely the OP super-intelligent genius, but he would have gotten nowhere without our MC's help. Our MC is a little silly, quite pragmatic, and determined to become stronger to support the ML and stand beside him (honestly, he undervalues himself sometimes!) He's no weak chicken and grows in strength and maturity in a very satisfying way as the story proceeds. His obsession with collecting medicinal ingredients is the cutest! The romance is slow burn, but a very natural progression. The love is obviously there way before the 'romance' begins. Our main couple is always making their decisions with the other in mind in a way that just makes you want to melt.

The author does a great job of painting an unscientific fantasy world of cultivation and ups the ante each time our main couple expands their horizons. They also do a great job of holding us in suspense as the mystery slowly unfolds of who is the real enemy and why their world has come to such a state. The sheer number of medicinal ingredients, magical beasts (and parts), martial arts, special skills, and interesting side characters that are described in this novel is mind boggling. Seriously, you're going to LOVE some of the side characters and couples. Somehow the author manages to keep it all in order and I didn't feel like the cultivation system was overly cumbersome or confusing.

The ending is ultimately quite satisfying and definitely the logical conclusion of the novel. It's long but doesn't go so long that the story goes off the rails like in some other cultivation novels.

The translator is also doing an excellent job with this story and I'm loving re-reading the story in a nicely translated format. <<less

Been lurking on this site for a while, and I'm only making a review in response to Tsoob's pathetic review. First of all, Tsoob, are you an edgy twelve year old? Why else would you even use such language like "r*tard"? Think before you speak or act, but from your review, it looks like you won't be seeing this particular response.

To everyone else, I'll go through Tsoob's complaints and refute them.

  1. The immaturity of the MC. Yes, he's fifteen when he transmigrates. His thoughts and actions appear naive, but everyone seems to forget the functions of the guardian contract at the beginning of the novel. Gu Zuo intrinsically knows that Tianheng CAN NOT do him harm. He can sense that Tianheng means him well, and it's due to their mutually-beneficial relationship. Of course Gu Zuo would do what he can to help Tianheng, because by helping Tianheng, he's helping himself! The contract ties them together on a fundamental level, and in my opinion, it's a firmer bond than what LX and YXM had in the beginning of Legendary Master's Wife. (People seem to forget that LX starts off the "relationship" by threatening YXM's life.)
  2. The MC allocating the system's rewards. Tsoob, have you forgotten that Gu Zuo is using the best possible cultivation method already for pharmacists? The Divine Medicine Cultivation Method trumps all the other cultivation methods out there. Gu Zuo didn't even give them the full set of 18 books, and just gave the Sect a single book. Gu Zuo is basically giving away crumbs that he's never going to eat for amazing benefits, while keeping the best for himself! Just hoarding all these rewards that he's never going to use is wasteful and s*upid.
  3. The MC and medicine refinement. What you call slaving away, Gu Zuo considers fun and necessary for cultivation. Before he transmigrated, he literally worked at a pharmacy and processed medicinal herbs. It's constantly shown that he enjoys medicine refinement, even when it's hard work. Plus, medicine refinement is literally how he gets stronger, both for his levels in the true qi realms and in the psyche realms.
Tsoob, literally everything that you wrote in your review was false.

Can't wait and readed MTL... It's truly amayzing story! It was interesting from first to last chapter. I should say - it's one of best story I ever read. It have on of best relationship between MC and ML I ever see - it's harmonic and respectful. Romance - very slow, but you understand - why they fall in love - and they have time to know each other and build they relationship on striong base.

Advenyture part very interesting to. It's cultivation and cosmic opera at the same time -... more>> never seen mix of genres like this and love it!

I recomended it for everyone and wish strength for translator - becourse it's huge work. <<less

Sweet, sweet slowburn. If you're here looking for quick romance, look elsewhere because. The ride. Is so long. The progression is so natural, throughout the years they stay and grow with each other, from contractual relationship, brotherhood, until it evolves into something else.

A lot of people pointed out the similarities IHM have with LMW. I love LMW (the second danmei I've ever read), but a lot of faults LMW has, IHM addressed neatly. They are similar, yet polar opposites in some aspects: IHM has about 80% less dog blood drama... more>> than LMW. IHM also refrains from the repeating rival trope LMW uses. IHM also, in contrast to LMW, does not jump to papapa in 200 chapters (so if you don't like to read them, it's ways away, and very minor). The biggest difference, however, is the balance of relationship between Ah Zuo and Tianheng compared to Momo and Ling Xiao.

In every sense of the word, Ah Zuo and Tianheng are each other's golden finger (just as in the summary, lol). Because they both started off from literal zero: Tianheng chronically ill, couple years off impending death, and Ah Zuo freshly deposited in another world. There is codependency born first from the contract to keep Tianheng alive and let Ah Zuo cultivate the system, then from their shared secrets, living together, hunting and cultivating together and protecting each other. It's also even more emphasized, later on, the difference in power and roles between a pharmacist and a martial artist, and they complement each other (just like in the summary, lmfao).

My favorite part

Spoiler

has got to be the arc where Tianheng went on a mission and got attacked by a higher cultivator, causing him to be stranded in space for a long time. Ah Zuo went ballistic and issued bounties for each head of the cultivator's family members, depending on their cultivation level, until the cultivator is forced to su*cide himself in front of Ah Zuo to save his last descendants. GOOSEBUMPS.

Still starting to get the plot rolling, but it's really good.

Gu Zuo is rather relaxed and open after securing himself a patron. While he may seem naive to others, in reality he is completely content with his situation. With a smart, rich, talented, considerate, hardworking patron who values his subordinates, Gu Zuo has pretty much nothing to complain about.

Tianheng on the other hand, sees Gu Zuo as a golden goose who has willingly come to him with the solution to all his problems. And treats him nicely as a... more>> result.

The relationship between the two is a rather nice patron-employee one with respect growing to reverence on Gu's side. The two get along pretty well. <<less

Can we get a "slow burn" tag or something? People can't seem to understand that some things take time...

I honestly much prefer this to TLMW... (i dropped it around 400-500chs) there aren't many similarities like other people say... Other than the shou making medicinal pills and the gong practicing martial arts... There really isn't (at least not that I remember). While TLMW's shou gets bullied by his gong constantly... this story's gong and shou try to one up each other to make the other happy, healthy, and have a peace... more>> of mind... The gong just really wants the shou to have a peace of mind. This makes me feel gushy in a way TLMW barely ever did...

Also individual backgrounds are already established, characters don't come out of nowhere, it's clear where someone stands from the get go and the reader doesn't get blind-sided by inheritance after inheritance after bloodline after inheritance after secret identity ect.

Maybe my opinion will change in future updates (no way I'm reading ahead, I need a properly structured sentence to enjoy a story) for now i'd stick to this while waiting for more updates on Death Progress Bar so I can binge.

Honestly this is not without it's flaws, but this is loads better than TLMW in my opinion.

Slow burn hurts a lot, but it's worth it. <<less

I don't usually give negative reviews to bl novels because whichever novel it is they all have their good and bad points.

But this... this book juts made me so frustrated!

1. The ML is way too OP. there's nothing wrong with an OP ML coz Ive read Legendary master's wife and an OP ML and a cute MC who's also and OP apothecary/alchemist trope is amazing. But here, the MC basically has no personality. I mean at first he was portrayed as a thoughtful MC when he first got the system,... more>> but after he met ML... it's like his IQ dwindled to zero!

2. There's no sense of romance. I get thta this is a SLOW BURN novel, but damn, even a slow burn novel has its own sense of ambiguity between the MC and the ML, but it just felt like the ML is using the MC for his own use. And wven if there was romance it felt as if the romance was just for the sake of the book being a BL and it *has* to have romance and also because the ML is too scheming and want to trap the MC. It felt more like a business transaction.

3. MC is too dependent on ML. He was like a little puppy the ML keeps around to keep himself amused and entertained. The romance felt loose and sometimes I get the feeling that the ML would get rid of the MC as soon as he outlived his usefulness. And it's frustrating that the MC doesn't get the recognition he deserved and everything just falls on to the ML, because of cousre he's so powerful and it's only natural that the ML did it, as for the MC? Who the hell is that? That's the ML's book boy. Like what the hell?!

Overall, this novel wasn't half much of a read as I thought it would be. It just made me so frustrated and irritated at the way the MC constantly revolves around the ML. <<less

I saw some of the negative comments and most of them didn't make sense to me. They were saying that MC is distustingly naive and ML is manipulative and perfect. And that's what confused me. MC is from our world. It's a peaceful place where he didn't have to take on any intense and grueling responsibility. His personality is naturally on the positive side and he's very affectionate. He's the type to like someone with his entire being once he sets his heart on them. Not to mention the insignificant... more>> fact that he's ONLY FIFTEEN. Of course he's going to be naive and a bit too trusting. Was it necessary for him to tell ML about his system, no, but it also didn't do him any harm. Some of ya'll might not realize and have maybe forgotten about the contract between them. ML can not hurt MC and they both know that. Not to mention it's actually better for ML to know about it cause MC would have no way to explain where he was whipping his technique books from. Space tools exist in this world but they aren't something that MC would have been able to get his hands on, at least not with his position when he first met ML. Also, another thing some might've forgotten or somehow didn't notice. MC enjoys pill making. He volunteered to make pills for ML. ML GAVE MC A SALARY. MC IS A PHARAMISICT AND PILL MAKING IS HOW ALL PHARMACISTS CULTIVATE. MC is not slaving away for ML. Now ML being manipulative is untrue in regards to MC. ML has an incredible amount of self control, he's crafty, and smart. He had to be this way to protect his position within his family. Besides he's also not without flaws. He's a battle junkie and a gambler, he just generally doesn't let it show due to his self control. And MC simping over ML is perfectly normal. We would all at least low key simp over an attractive person who's courageous, protective, and generous. MC only wanted his basic needs covered plus the herbs and supplies necessary to make pills for ML. ML goes above and beyond what MC requested. ML didn't have to treat him like family, pay him for the excess pills, give him more pocket money than MC thought necessary, buy him any extra herbs MC desired, etc. Compared to other pharmacists, MC is spoiled rotten and he knows it, which is why he's so clingy and affectionate, he's merely reciprocating what's being given to him. This is a purely equal give and take relationship with solid trust as a foundation. Not someone being manipulated into unknown s*avery and dependency. <<less

I absolutely love this novel I'm just gonna say this lol~

And also for poeple saying MC is naive and stuff, no. Just no. Dude you're literally at the start of the novel, the novel has more than 1000 chapters. A bit harsh don't you think? And also, sure he is a bit naive at the start but he's not s*upid and he grows out of it. Even now, at 200 chapters, he's already very clever and can take care of himself. He just likes to listen to and trust ML,... more>> it's not that he's naive or something. Sure ML is perfect (and we love it!), and the MC may seem naive but that's part of his personality! He's cute, cheerful and also badass thank you! Less than 100 chapters and you're already prejudiced against the characters. What happened to character development?

Also true, for people who don't want "OP main characters" sure, if you don't like it don't read it. Sometimes it's quite refreshing to have OP characters tho.

Also guys it's slow burn. SLOW BURN okay? They start out as strangers, then acquaintances, then friends, then brothers, then closer and closer and ah! Lovers.

MC is dependent on ML, sure, but it's because he trusts him and wants to share everythung with him. It's not like he's s*upid and can't survive on his own jeez. <<less

I love this!!

I'm so sad that it has not been completely translated yet. I wished I could binge-read this just like I did with The Legendary Master's Wife!

I actually prefer this novel than The Legendary Master's Wife because I like the characters in this novel more, especially their relationship so far.

The MC and ML has deep tacit understanding of each other and their strengths correspond with each other's weaknesses/lack of skills.

Some readers go into this story thinking it's another quick transmigration with a fast-paced plot and lots of smut.

Well, it's not.

Keep in mind that this is over a thousand chapters long with tons of slow-burn romance and character development. The MC, Gu Zuo, starts off at the bottom and works his way up through hard work and cooperation with the ML, Gongyi Tianheng. Lots of readers are turned off by how weak Gu Zuo is, but I'll let you in on a little secret...

... more>>
Spoiler

By the end of Volume 3, Gu Zuo is powerful enough to single-handedly slaughter everyone from the Tianwu Continent (the main landmass where most of Volumes 1 and 2 are located).

[collapse]

So keep this in mind when you start reading. This novel is about getting stronger, but because it's so long, it can be difficult for the reader to realize just how far the MC has come. <<less

So I had just finished the "legendary master's wife" the first time I read this because everyone was going on about how similar and good it is yet I dropped it at the 50th chapter because it was that bad in comparison. Then I tried it again (Its been like a year since the first time) and I still really can't!

I know the author is trying to make the MC cute and pure but he is coming of ridiculously naive to a point of idiocy. He has not contradicted the... more>> ML once! I swear the ML could be like "Jump of that cliff" and MC would be like "ML so smart, Im an idiot anyway" and be half way down the cliff before he finished the sentence.

I really dont feel the chemistry between the two. ML doesnt treat MC like his soulmate, Id even be ok if he treated him like a little brother before the romance blooms but the ML treats him like a talking gold laying goose. I feel like even when the relationship turns romantic, it would be a way to control the MC and tie him to the ML than out of sincere affection. It really felt like watching the ML raise an extremely OP puppy. Imagine if this wasnt a romance novel? If this happened in real life? The novel would have deviated into a reincarnation revenge plot with the MC born again to take revenge on the slag gong who used him but luckily ML is smart enough to build a golden cage that MC has no idea he's living in.

Everything goes right for the MC and ML. They put the M in Mary F Sue! Even when they should be disadvantaged they just blink and its magically resolved.

The story is so flat and I dare say boring! Luckily the translation is awesome guys! But the characters are like one dimensional dolls! I dont feel anything from their struggles and truimphs (although I haven't seen a struggles yet).

Its really painful for me to give this a low rating! I love cultivation BL and this just fail at every angle!

Ive never dropped a BL anything permenently before but this has like a 1000 chapters and I cant read 870 more of these! Sorry no.

Thanks to the translators for doing an exellent job! <<less

There was really a lot of really good world building, too bad the author didn't spend as much time with the characters tho. Starting with the MC, he died and transmigrated to a new world leaving his father behind. I admire his strength in the beginning. The whole in a new world with a system that just might blow up cause you didnt finish a mission, he really came through. But as soon as it got to the ML it just got weird. So apparently he's perfect in everything, it's... more>> such a shame that he has a sickly body. MC comes along cures him and now he's just soaring. You can say literally, cause from there on nothing could stop him. We met his family but not really, they just popped up here and there cause the ML wasn't living with them. Then we met the mc's family and it was just underwhelming. So disappointing, I mean he met his dad again, something he wasn't expecting and the whole time I just feel like his mind was more on ml, I find that very sad. And even though he brought them, they just stayed in their little corner and I feel like they didn't interact as much as they should have. Then there was a baby, I also feel that the author didnt real go into child caring, like at all. They just took him out when it was convenient which I find really weird. This book would have been so much better if it wasn't just about the MLS aspirations and the MC actually tried to connect with his family than being so apart <<less

This is for anyone who like a xianxia novel regardless of their thoughts on BL. Already 100chp nothing has happen between the two but lots of cultivation stuff is happening. My first introduction to Chinese novels are xianxia however they all become stale and formulaic but this one is actually interesting (including Ascending, do not disturb and Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being).

I actually do love this story. I haven't read many cultivation stories recently bc there's so many of them and it all gets the same after a while, but this one definitely held my interest for a long time. I always love a good system, and the MC's one is pretty OP, which also allows him to be OP. The ML is also really OP. The romance is pretty slow, but that's not to say there's no hints of it early on. It's just really slow burn, but the entire... more>> story is always super sweet. Sometimes I do wish the MC would be a little less shy all the time lol, and the ML would be less polite and reserved. The part when the devil version of him comes over is actually amazing, since you can see how attached the ML is to the MC. But yeah it's your pretty standard cultivation story, the romance is not rushed by any means. It just gets pretty long and things keep happening, so I'm gonna pause with the MTL on chapter 650 and maybe pick it back up later. Romance is definitely adorable.

Edit: I came back half a year later and reread the story, with full intention of reading to the end. However, by the time I got through to like halfway through the second to last "arc", I got kinda bored at chapter 920. I'm never a fan of having life-and-death enemies literally miles stronger than the MCs, and by this point it's already like that. I still love the MC and ML and their interactions, and have really enjoyed this novel. But by the time we get to the 900s, it starts dragging on and getting very dramatic. Wish I could finish and get closure, but for now I'm moving on once again.

Edit: I came back over a year later and reread the story. This time I actually got to the end. I managed to get through the 900s without too much difficulty--the drama picks up, but the MC and ML don't actually have to face it or struggle too much until the very end. Wish there was more about their daily interactions or what happened after they manage to come back together, it feels pretty rushed at the end. Love their relationship though. <<less

though our young master tianheng seems to be developing mild signs of possessiveness oho 🤭 gu zuo is loved!

the translation and writing are both amazing! The world building and character growth in the novel are absolutely lovely to read about. The translations by Tetractys has absolutely spoiled me and mtl-ing the novel now is torture [i can't recognise the raw pill names and terminology (cry) thank you tetractys for translating them into easily understandable english!!]

would definitely recommend reading this if you have time!!! <<less
