Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Professor System has issued a mission: to rescue the gentle, kind and tragic protagonist shou of the novel “The Exceptional Furnace”.
Song ‘Scholar-Tyrant’ Qingshi: “Don’t worry, Professor! I can definitely ensure the patient’s recovery!”
In the Immortal Realm:
Song Qingshi praised from the bottom of his heart: “My patient is the kindest and most beautiful little angel in the world.”
Yue Wuhuan quietly washed the blood from his hands and smiled softly: “En.”
Song Qingshi swore from the bottom of his heart: “As a doctor, I will never covet nor take advantage of my beautiful patient!”
Yue Wuhuan took full and complete advantage of the doctor and smiled softly: “En.”
Song Qingshi affirmed from the bottom of his heart: “Under my loving care, the patient will never be blackened!”
Yue Wuhuan secretly hid his monstrously evil thoughts and smiled softly: “En.”
At that inextinguishable summit, upon thousand and thousands of soul lamps, he sat on the god’s throne of white bone, guarding that piece of stone.
“You are the only one in this world who treats me tenderly.”
“And so, you are the only one I treat tenderly.”
Scholar-tyrant Song was absolutely delighted: “Professor! Can I get full marks?”
Professor System exploded: “You fool! You saved the wrong person!”

This is a character-driven novel. The plot is the relationship and if there is a greater conflict past Ch 61, it's clearly used as a backdrop, not a device that drives the story forwards. That means it's strongest when there's steady character growth or relationship development. It is strongest in it's first fourth, where you learn about Song Qingshi, Yue Wuhuan, and their relationship. They go from distrusting strangers, to fond gratitude, to something more. It's beautiful to watch them be curious about each other and grow closer. At Ch 31, there's a small climax that promises it's going to be a turning point, whether that's a greater conflict or demarcation in their relationship. Instead, it goes unaddressed even until Ch 61+, which marks the half of the novel. From here on out, the relationship is stagnant for 30 chapters.
Before Song Qingshi falls into a coma for ten years
There's a timeskip where Yue Wuhuan has a decade to live outside Song Qingshi's observation. Instead of letting his "new self" show through his actions, we're directly told who he is via narration.
He gets even worse treatment. Whereas some of Yue Wuhuan's contradictions can be excused as part of his mental instability, OOC behavior is more obvious with SQS. The first thing we ever learn about Song Qingshi is that he desires a healthy body, wants to live, and would be forever happy locking himself away for a thousand more years to research. He immediately lied for this opportunity for a second life. Suddenly in Ch. 60,
he would be willing to die if only to make others feel better and has no regrets. If An Long wanted him to die, he could die at any time. He is deeply insecure and displays suicidal tendencies.
The author (eventually at some point) made the comment that they wrote the novel in mind of going against stereotypes and that they wouldn't write characters without a purpose, which does prove itself to me at least, by the end of the story. Stereotypes and clichés are unavoidable, but it all comes down to your own execution. Aside from breaking certain tropes, it gave also certain clichés a breath of fresh air. The story gets better as you advance. The characters grew on me and I wanted to indulge and protect them, ALL of them including the 2nd ML that I disliked at first. And here a disclaimer: All sorts of vile sexual, emotional and physical abuse will be part of mainly ML's life and it might set of triggers so read with care. This is also one of the rarer main characters who had been 'defiled' to this extend (which in itself isn't a bad thing, from a reader's aspect over general chinese novels and its overall obsession with sterile levels of purity). The traumas are written realistically, the mental illnesses were convincing and relatable.
Normally, the plot and romance would be set apart, giving room to growth each at a different time. However author wove both plot and romance together so well, you don't feel like there was a lack of plot nor romance. From the beginning til end, there was nothing BUT plot and romance. The MC is a sweet sweet sweet bun, a bit ditzy clumsy in emotional intelligence but highly diligent and steadfast.
ML, despite the trauma he's forced to bear, is extremely radiant in his own ways.
Despite being a yandere, he never tried to forcefully acquire the other's affection. It nevertheless, is an obsession, but MC and him both want to fix it because both recognize the unhealthy aspect it.
He has a measured level of violence and wouldn't extend harm onto unrelated and innocent people. Different kinds of wrong-doings deserve different kinds of punishments, at times with a chance of redemption. This benevolence is also an extension of MC's patient guidance and what little goodness that remained deep buried within the ML.
Side characters all had their impact either on the story or for growth of the characters, simultaneously also meet their retributions or find their happy endings. Conclusive, decisive and rounded story telling. SN: Great translations and explanations by Chrysanthemum Garden's sleepy 'lil 'shroom.
For this to extend to godhood and celestial talk, I'm quite impressed that the author made generally unrelatable beings, relatable. Though, towards the end, it muddled the sterile purity trope through. The 'defiled' body wasn't real but the memory was. The ML accepted that dark and dirty past and moves on.
Not saying I wish he was better of remaining partially broken with that physical and emotional trauma, but it lost a bit of the genuine hurt that build his character, if you know what I mean. Given, the ML uses also that experience later on as growth, it doesn't change the fact the author tried to clean wash his physical being and put it aside and a terrible nightmare or simulation.
After all, their love relationship developed in this 'simulation' and it's not like the woke up and walked separate ways....I suppose that's my sole complaint, as well as conflict.
What I loved about the novel was how deeply the transmigration system plot got. It was thoroughly explored and even got exposed to the ML.
Gotta admit I'm fed up with protagonists hiding the truth of their background from their lovers (especially those who trade the target's sincerity for system points, that's to me, exploitation; not that the MC does it since ML is the wrong target as depicted in the synopsis). Not many are this upfront about their transmigration and reason around their said-target. This misunderstanding helped further strengthen the couple's bonds.
The true villains:
The true nature of demons has been briefed to us but the whole idea of an entire race being inherently evil here is rather subjective.
It was the celestial beings that were more powerful and oppressive, sealing the demons away. They made the gods face their own desires and evil, meaning the gods were also flawed in a sense.
This is another aspect which makes this psychological novel great, making perfect beings face their own imperfections and not simply set two camps and have those two fight it out.
I really would've loved to see more about the demonic races, having just finished 'Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know' and it's concept of equilibrium.But there are some parts of it that I don't agree with and feel frankly disgusted by. This is not about only this story in particular, but most BL. Just in this story, after they had discussed and analyzed how s*xual relationships are painful for the "receiver" they still went on and did it.
Unfortunately when two men decide to have s*xual relationships that involve penetration s*x one of the two will suffer (the exact grade of suffering will change depending on various factors, but they will still feel pain). This is certainly frustrating I imagine, but it can be circumvented by using different ways to have s*xual relationships. Of course, if they both decide that they want penetrative s*x then they should have that choice too and there is nothing wrong with this.
What makes me angry, disgusted and scared is that in this kind of stories (every asian BL I have ever read or heard of and good part of western too) the two halves of the couple have very clear and specified roles. They never change their ways, the one who has to suffer will always suffer and the other one won't even think that this is wrong, they never even ask to switch.
When I say that this makes me scared I mean that after reading of the ML waiting 3000 years for the one he loves he still happily chooses to ignore his pain in bedroom matters. If this is love then how can he stand seeing the one he loves hurting and he himself the cause of his pain and DO NOTHING?
Ok, the ML is traumatized, it is completely understandable that he doesn't want to "receive" anymore. But even knowing that the gentlest of handling still results in lacerations (and Qingshi clearly stated he had some lacerations) he still caves pretty soon and does it anyway. And proceeds to continue doing so. Without ever switching.
I will say this again, the ML was traumatized and he couldn't bear being the receiver. Ok. But if he never had to do it again then why did the original protagonist of the story Bai something have to keep doing that?
Protagonist Bai had been r*ped and traumatized at a lesser degree than the ML, but damn, he was mentally scarred when he was freed! His self worth was dead decomposing in a ditch. And since he isn't the ML the one who is supposed to be his soulmate, the peacock, still made him the receiver in every single one of their encounters! He clearly stated that it was painful and the other kept wanting to try again saying that it would get better with practice! After all he had been through!
Why did he have to keep doing this and the ML no?!
Did they never hear of switching? Or respect?!
Is this love? I really hope not. I want to believe that love is when you would never hurt the other and the other would be the same. If someone has to suffer then they will together.
Sorry for the rant. This is a good story compared to many others so I gave it the 5 stars, but it broke my heart that after analyzing so much the situation, the power imbalance in the relationships and how the receiver has to feel pain they went just over it and kept the status quo of every other asian BL I have ever read. This can't be what love is.
*For who says that Quingshi didn't feel pain: he said after the first time that it didn't hurt as much as he expected, he also clearly stated that he had lacerations. This was said by someone who worked and behaved perfectly fine while his Nascent soul was breaking. Nobody ever even saw a shadow of his pain, this doesn't mean that there wasn't.
