Luo Wei's life gets shortened due to the gruesome r*pe and violence he went through. Despite that and Luo Wei's bloody reputation, Wei Lan sticks by him and helps him heal. They end up escaping for a couple years to Wei Lan's hometown after Luo Wei was rescued from being held hostage. We can see a glimpse of what a happy life means to them. Completely ordinary but happy life. However, Long Xuan finds them and wants to separate them due to jealously and takes Luo Wei for himself. He caused Wei Lan to forget about Luo Wei using this memory-wiping medicine and marry someone else. The author did such a great job for making me like and dislike a character at the same time. I hate Long Xuan for separating the couple, but his pain from being unable to capture Luo Wei's love is pretty sad. Long Xuan strongly believes that even though he made Luo Wei go through all this pain, as emperor, he could give Luo Wei happiness. Twisted way of loving, really. However, Luo Wei still misses Wei Lan and rejects Long Xuan during every interaction. 10 years later, Luo Wei eventually dies from a stab wound (although he was already at death's door due to heart disease). He requests that he sees Wei Lan from his older brother, who was bringing him home, but stops outside his house and watches Wei Lan being happy with his family before dying. He didn't want Wei Lan to remember him when his life was already short and when Wei Lan already had a family to take care of. Long Xuan cries as he watches Luo Wei get taken away and later comes to Grand Priest Fu Yi ("living Buddha") that he wants to exchange a hundred years of his happiness (in description) so that Luo Wei would only experience joy in his next life. He was willing to take on the weight of Luo Wei's sins. As for Wei Lan, 20 years after Luo Wei died, his grandson reminded him of the words Luo Wei used to form the characters of his name when he was first rescued. He kept on asking, "Who said this to me? I can't remember, but I know this person was important." He became ill, and dreamt of Luo Wei and their house. He died due to the illness worsening, and his wife gave back a piece of jade that Luo Wei gave to her to him. The jade was part of a pair that were were originally worn by Luo Wei and Wei Lan, and it commemorated their relationship. She loved Wei Lan, but she knew in her heart that she was part of the reason the two couldn't be together (she was always afraid of Wei Lan remembering Luo Wei). She sent Wei Lan off, telling him that Luo Wei was waiting for him. She requested that the two were buried together back in Wei Lan's hometown. Eventually, the two of them got reincarnated and ended up together in their third life.

this story is so f*cking depressing wow. There’s no happy ending and everyone loses. I’m so sad I just want to dig a hole and bury myself.

Sima Qingsha, who becomes a monarch of opposing empire and gets obsessed with Luo Wei, considering how they already had a deal that helped Sima Qingsha take over the throne. He's fascinated and also ruthless, sadistic and... the most savage of them all. (Run away Luo Wei... far far away, please).

graphic r*pe, drugging, in*est, torture and underage. None of these actually take entirety of the book.

First life is a tragedy, second life ends in tragedy, but third life is everything they ever wanted and they are finally together. The ones who should be together are together. In the end, they get what they deserve.

The current ML, Wei Lan, is quite controversial. All readers knew for a time was that he has been similarly abused, and is a subordinate to the MC. However, for me at least, when I discovered his connection to the MC in his past life and how he protected the MC at his lowest point, I bought in completely. I'm sure more domineering, powerful MLs will show up later, but I'm waving the Wei Lan flag.

from Chapter 114

"Do you know why I did those things to him? When everyone in the world was trying to get Long Yu’s favor, he was the only one who was good to me wholeheartedly. But he had no talent or morals, he didn’t compare with an inch of your finger, Zi Zhou, but I... How could I fall for someone like this? I thought that maybe if I destroyed him completely, maybe all of this would end.”

But I still couldn’t forget him! Even if he was the lowest, dirtiest, cheapest person in this world, I still think of him. Do you know why I dug out his eye? Because I couldn’t see the past in it. Aside from hatred in his eyes, all I could see was more hatred, nothing else. I cursed him for betraying his family, but everything he did was for me, he betrayed his family for me, and I betrayed everything he did. We’re the same, he and I, we’re both guilty.”

“Not mention it anymore?” Long Xuan laughed, “How could I not? I love him! I’m a madman, a madman!” Long Xuan’s tears fell on the pillow, “A madman!”

“Long Xuan has never taken human life seriously. I am the same. Human lives in our eyes aren’t worth mentioning. But Lan’s (1st ML) life, ” Luo Wei was still gazing into the distance, “is more important than anything else in my heart.”

At the end of the second life, Lou Wei went to see Wei Lan before the last of his breath and saw that he is living the good life. Long Xuan died not long before Lou Wei, exchaging a hundred years of loneliness for Lou Wei's blissful life. As for Wei Lan's ending, in his old age, he remembered that he has forgotten someone dear in his heart. He died of illness. Wei Lan and Lou Wei were buried in the same place in Xuanzhou where they had short happiness.

As for the third life, Long Xuan is still the emperor but he is at his old age, while Lou Wei and Wei Lan are still at their teens. It seems Lou Wei was reborn as a commoner just like Wei Lan. They are very happy. They actually adopted a child and Lou Wei was about to name it Xuan but then change it to Qing. Then, it's a happy ending!

he was very s*upid and was blinded by love from his past life. He just followed what ML 1 told him even pleasure to sacrafice entired his family for ML 1. While ML 1 wants to use him and tried to get rid of MC from him, also erased his unconsent affectionate feelings toward MC. Finally MC became s*x s*ave of mens after ML 1 managed to get the thrones. Died because of ML 1. In second life, he opposed ML 1 to succeeds the throne, he became the best planner and war strategist to opposed ML 1 ambitions and for sake protect his family. Unknowingly, he attracted a ML 3 for him.

rapist, jerk, scum gong from MC previous life. He loves MC from the start but he tried get rid off of his feelings because from his view, MC not worth of him because MC does not have any skill like anyone else, does not see any values in him (MC), tortured MC, get everyone r*ped MC, throw MC to brothel, disable MC's legs, till MC died, his feelings keeps torment him. In second MC's life, he values MC earlier compared from previous life. He would tried to enchanting MC's heart many times. No matter how MC tried to make it ML 1 impossible get the throne, ML is indeed destined to have the throne even in MC's second life. Even in third life, his became emperror no matter what.
ML is still as cruel as his past life, the difference is the way he treats MC in the present life is so intimate and full of obsession.
in past life, he let MC be gang-r*ped including his guards and servants. In fact, he kicked MC to the brothel and turned him into a prostitute.

poor beggar where MC met his previous life. At that time, his face was very ugly and distorted, that's why MC didn't know him. Met when MC had become a prostitute and was thrown away like tr*sh and MC eye has been dug out, also his legs disable. He was the one who took care of MC at that time. They both have beutifull time together for a weeks.
he was beaten to death by people from the brothel who tried to getting back MC to bring him back to the brothel again.

Even in the second life, he treated MC well, holding him with love and tenderness. What makes me cry non-stop, he and MC ran away to build a new life and they are very peaceful. Until one day ML 1 looking for them and found them, ML 1 drugged ML 2 with a drug to erase all his memories. ML 2 and MC were brought back to their country separately, ML 2 was forced married to a girl. The saddest thing is that the girl was Mc's acquaintance when MC was locked up by ML 3, and the girl knew they were a couple but still dared to honest that she liked ML 2 and wanted to marry him. Even though ML 2 doesn't remember MC, he is still confused about his feelings towards MC even though he not remember MC, but deep in his heart, he still care about MC and felt something sweet everytime they met. When his dying, from his last breath, he kept calling MC's name who was already gone for years, he only saw MC's silhouette.

rapist, scum, obsessed with MC, crazy, really I feels like want to burst his head after he r*ped MC like a beast in heat. He did not exist in Mc's past life. He is a cruel additional character appearing in Mc's current life. From the beginning he was attracted to MC and ready intending to have him, found out that he was just a chess piece arranged and used by MC and then lost in the war, he became insane. After his father, the king, died, he lost his way and his feelings towards MC turned into hatred and obsession. He captivated and locked up MC in the harem palace, even announced the world MC was his male favourate. Between him and ML 1, no difference, both of them was crazy and scumbag.

from main story, MC and ML 2 never get together until they died. MC died because he has no longevity for life and heartached longing for ML 2. ML2 died because of old age. While ML 1 and ML 3 cannot have MC. No matter how much harbored their heart about MC, how their tried wooed MC's heart, MC never move at all, its make MC angry time over to time. ML 1 and ML 3 being a soulless after the dead of MC, that how big impact happen to them, no any of them get what they want and what they dream. MC is not destined for them.

from extra chapter. MC and ML 2 separated for 2 times from their past lives. The first life separated tragically, the second life separated due to betrayal and death of old age. Third life, finally they can united and live together until they are old and have adopted children. This time MC is not a noble but born as a commoner as well as ML 2. ML 1 became king for the third time in the third life, he could only see MC from afar but was unable to grasp him even though this was his third life. For ML 1, he can get the world but he can't get heart, it easiest way to get the world but he will never get hearts. HE for extra chapter very touching.
