Ostentatious Zhao Yao

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In a hilarious and sweet xianxia romance set in Ancient China, Lu Zhao Yao went through life living ostentatiously in every way possible. She lived her entire demon life in a loud and brazen manner, reigning over legions of demons, and yet——just before she was about to retrieve the sword of the ancient demon king and rightfully claim her spot on the throne——she died.

In the most quiet and unobtrusive manner possible. How? By accident.

Mo Qing, one of her lowest ranking lackeys at that point in time, had killed her after he retrieved the demon sword and unintentionally unleashed the sword’s demonic aura onto the heavily injured Lu Zhao Yao.

Her quiet and untimely death, coupled with her firm belief that Mo Qing had sneakily betrayed her by lying in the shadows and waiting to strike the final blow and reap all the rewards, nurtured a heavy grievance within her. Lu Zhao Yao refused to head to the underworld and reincarnate, hanging around in the human world in her spirit form.

Lady Luck, however, had not completely abandoned her.

One fine day, a female disciple of the Immortal Sect (Zhi Yan) fought with her childhood friend and banged her head onto Lu Zhao Yao’s grave. To Lu Zhao Yao’s utmost delight, she was able to possess Zhi Yan’s body for short periods of time after this.

Thus began her journey to avenge her very own death by destroying Mo Qing——and, in the process, resume her rightful place as the King over all demon sects!

Enjoyed this a lot! Zhaoyao is a great protagonist, very funny, confident and strong. I love her straightforward nature. Mo Qing as a love interest is so patient and devoted even while she's in disguise and trying to kill him. Zhiyan as the woman whose body Zhaoyao borrows also shows great growth and and I love her and Zhaoyao's growing friendship in the end.

Pretty good.

One of the very rare chinese romance novels I actually like. Perhaps because most of the novel isn't a romance as such, but instead a series of attempts by the MC (who is quite likable and amusing, by the way) to kill her love interest.

Recommended.

4.5/5. Jiu Lu Fei Xiang is a really well known author and this novel does not disappoint. The premise of this novel is right up my alley (more like an addiction I can't seem to overcome actually) and I loved the MC and ML together.

MC is a bold brash character who wants to live her best life by getting revenge, but makes sure to keep things entertaining while she's doing it. She is on the oblivious side, but that's a given for cnovels unfortunately. I honestly felt really bad for... more>> the ML, feel like he was trapped in his feelings for the MC and never lived a life for himself. But his devotion was heartwrenching and sweet.

Overall not mind blowing, but a fun read. <<less

Wonderful story I finished in two days. The love between them is so sweet. They are very natural together. The stuff she do is hilarious. I am so happy for them. The story was painful and blissful at the same time. ML really dotes on the FMC. I love them so much. Other side characters also adds nice flavor to the story and kept it very interesting. I am going to watch the drama for more fun.

I didn’t watch the drama, as they drag it alot. But the novel is good. Love LZY character as a demoness and fun showy way. Her encounter with people after her “death”and her background really a good read. She not really bad but she is badass. Lol. ML is is cute. He really loves MC, his sweet longing and waiting is really heart wrenching. But am glad they have a very good HE.

Othe side characters were great also especially Shi Ci, really love this badass cinnamon bun. The others cps... more>> also very endearing.
I really appreciate translator hardwork and her little snippets scenes on story, solidified the mind when reading, makes a great reading experience. Recommended read. Thank you <<less

Don’t be tricked by the high ratings :]

Don’t watch the Zhao Yao drama either, it’s a complete waste of brain cells, if you did already, you must understand y I feel this way. I feel like the story had such good components, but it became messy when the author try’s to mix different plot cliches in and the story just feels like a mediocre fanfic of some sort, I can’t even the ending :]]]]
