Description

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

Everyone says “like father, like son”, but Gu Fuyou has mediocre talent. So mediocre that when people see her, they mock her, wondering how Gu Wanpeng could have such a daughter.

She was so ordinary until she was accepted into the Xuan Miao Sect, with some suspecting that Gu Wanpeng pulled strings for her behind the scenes.

During a beast-taming class, the master was teaching disciples how to summon spirit beasts.

Someone, trying to mock her, chuckled, “I’ve heard your father’s golden spirit bird can attain the nascent soul stage. Like father, like daughter, right? I bet the spirit beast you summon will be equally impressive.”

She started the summoning formation, but there was no movement for a long time.

Everyone laughed, “She can’t even summon the lowest-level young beast.” This was beyond mediocrity; it was downright useless.

Suddenly, the formation emitted a blinding light, and fog covered the ground. Everyone gasped in surprise.

She summoned something, not a bird or beast, but a living person.

This person was the unparalleled genius of Xuan Miao Sect.

Even she didn’t expect it, and the summoned person looked equally bewildered.

In a sudden impulse, she used her ring finger’s blood to mark the person’s forehead and named her ‘Nanzhu Jun’.

The master intervened, shouting, “Stop, she’s your senior sister!”

But it was too late; they had already formed a pact.

This was good.

It was great for the first volume, however the second and third volumes leave a bit to be desired as it felt like the author moved too quickly and forgot about characters they had invested in earlier. Some of the payoffs from major events also come and go too quickly in the later volumes.

That said, I don’t usually get emotional when reading books like these but this one holds some real emotional sway. I highly recommend reading it.

There are so many things I can say about jian long, but I'll try and keep it short:

Jian long is separated into three volumes in publication, and they follow three different arcs in the novel. The first arc is when our mains meet each other, Gu Fuyou (mc) and Zhong Michu (fl). This is when these two girls get accustomed to each other and when you can say originally and firstly fell for each other. Then it follows into tragedy, with sect annihilation and genocide.

In the next vol/arc, we have... more>> revenge. Whether or not that revenge was justified is up to the Heavens in the novel, as Gu Fuyou begins to take things down a different and darker path that begins to blur the line between being different from her oppressors. But Zhong Michu stays with her along every step of the way.

The last section of the novel consists of the aftermath of the revenge and the pairing officializing their love for each other. Though there still is some struggle, angst, and fighting, it is not nearly as much as the previous section.

All of this novel is so well done. The translation was beautiful as well, which definitely helps in scoring the novel. Our main character, Gu Fuyou, isn't inherently a good person. She even refers to herself as evil. And deep down, she is. Gu Fuyou is a twisted soul, but it cannot be blamed on her.

Now, I hate the stories that always have that "Oh, only she can pull her back from snapping" or "only she can make her feel okay again" and because of just a touch, the other is okay like it's some special power or something. This novel has that but it's a different vibe of "if she is not okay, I will kill everyone in this world" and I think that's beautiful. Her presence of being there heals her not because they're soulmates or anything, but it's because she knows she is okay and that is all she desires is for the other's safety.

The characters are all top notch. You know when a villain is so bad you get shivers or get disgusted every time they get mentioned? Yeah, that's how these characters will make you feel. And good! The characters that were made to be hated are despised, and the characters that are made to be liked are loved.

I don't know if I don't have a wide variation of different cultivation novels, but there were some things included in this that I thought were really intriguing and cool!!!

Zhong Michu was seen as a cultivator who could never lose a battle, and this was proven as wrong. And Gu Fuyou was seen as a cultivator who would never grow strong, and this was also proven incorrect.

The bonus chapters after the end of vol 2 were also heart-breaking. You can read them when you get to them, but I chose to read them at the end of the whole novel.

This was definitely one of my most favorite reads, and I recommend everyone the story of Gu Fuyou and Zhong Michu. <<less

Interesting premise and the story has gotten even more exciting once the characters have entered Xian Luo, an entirely different world where rare spiritual beasts exist within wild and dangerous habitats. The tropes are familiar with the MC being a spunky and resourceful type which is a contrast to the cold and tsundere FL who has inexplicably become bonded to her like a spiritual beast.

There is a great power divide between the MC who has low cultivation but is brilliant in creating talismans and the FL who is a golden... more>> core cultivator and a student prodigy in their sect. While we expect the FL to constantly come to the Mc's aid this seems to be flipped on its head at the moment as they undergo challenges within Xian Luo and the FL is tested to her limits and is on the brink of death.

I'm a sucker for cultivation baihe so this is right up my alley. Can't wait to see how this develops. The translation is also impeccable. <<less

This was such a lovely read, I think it's one of the best baihe I've read, the world building, the characters, the plot, everything was so we'll fleshed out and laid out.

The author knew perfectly well how to intertwine honey like sweetness with gut twisting bitterness, this is a story about a girl who everyone looked down upon soaring to the sky, but not you usual type, it talks heavy expectations, family issues, human greediness, innocent love.

Gu Fuyou is unrestrained, cheerful and yet, she's so stubborn, she will protect who... more>> she cherishes and once her goal is set she will go through hell to achieve it. She's sharp minded and scheming when needed, she's smart, brilliant but with a sincere heart.

Zhong Michu is full of curiosity towards the unknown, always forbidden to her, she's upright, clearheaded, gentle and extremely doting, yet she's also one with a big devoted heart.

A story about revenge and coming to terms with the unchangeable, a story about rebirth, but literally, more so of the rebirth of a deeply wounded soul that finds new meaning in life and rushes to explore it once more, walking with baby steps towards love and healing.

It's so beautifully written, everything, from the pain, the love, the despair, the healing, some parts left me feeling devastated, they left me feeling such a devastating void, but I guess the journey itself also takes you to heal alongside the characters.

And I thinks that's so beautiful.

As for the love between Zhong Michu and Gu Fuyou, it so sweet, I love it so much, they are literally made for each other, their relationship was so lovely, I ship them sm

It's a wonderful read, highly, highly recommend!!!! <<less

I've barely started reading this story and actually, I tend to dislike this genre. HOWEVER, as luck would have it, I'm bored with nothing else to do so on a whim, decided to read it. Oh boy, smart move on my part. Ha ha ha

I'm not sure how the story will go but in terms of translating, it's outstanding. If nothing else, I want to give encouragement and thanks to the translator because s/he is doing a marvelous job. This is an instance where the translating is propping up the... more>> story. Many thanks!

This is not to say that the story is bad. Far from that. It's just that I'm only onto chapter 6 so I can't say for sure but so far, I think it's very good. I'm not familiar with cultivation, sects, etc etc but if you're someone who loves this type of story, I have no doubt you will enjoy this. I'm someone who doesn't normally, but I'm having a hoot of a time right now. In fact, it's very enjoyable! The MC is young, lively and very lovable and you can't help but root for her. The FL is cool, distant and on another level altogether. Waiting to see how these 2 come together is going to be really exciting. Huzzah!!! ha ha ha. I hope it continues to be as good as I'm thinking it is.

If you were like me and glossing over this story title, stop what you're doing and start reading this. The rate of chapters being translated is very quick and the quality of translations is beyond compare. Thank you.

***

Binge-read to the current chapter of 55 in 2 days. I guess that should tell you what I think of the story, right???!! lol

This has been Xianxia 101... I'm still not too crazy about this particular genre. Also, this is not a simple story. In fact, I feel pretty s*upid because there's a plethora of terms I'm unfamiliar with and there's not a shortage of characters, either. My poor confuzzled brain!

The relationship between the 2 main characters is complex, beautiful, heartwarming and damn! It's the very definition of "slow-burn". They barely recognize the feelings they're starting to develop for each other so it's gonna be a good long while before they even attempt to let the other know what is truly in their hearts. Their interactions and growing affections for one another is really riveting. It's like tinder (not the dating app)... one little spark and we might have ourselves a raging forest fire. At least that's what I'm hoping. ha ha ha

Now for the long wait for more chapters to get translated. Thank you so much :) <<less

(As of Ch. 62) The story is unendingly heart wrenching and more than worth your time. If you approach and notice the first few chapters are slightly uninventive, DON'T let that discourage you from reading further. These characters undergo many changes, and the plot doesn't seem to be giving them the cliché 'easy outs' we see in many other web novels. This makes the characters' lives seem much more real- and worthy of stirring emotion in readers.

I greatly hope that it continues to meet the standard it has set.

One... more>> of my favourite aspects of the story so far:
Spoiler

Powers given to our main characters come with heavy baggage. With the knowledge that no character is omnipotent- everyone has weakness that can be exploited- you can really feel the stakes.

Also, who doesn't love my darling baby Ah Fu?

This is some good stuff up to the current chapter (c43). It's definitely worth the read and feels like it's really good, but I can't say for sure exactly how good it will be until it's finished. Xianxia stories often have lackluster second-halves after all. As it stands I give it 4 stars, but depending on how it ends it can either go up or down.

This is honestly one of the best novels I've ever read on novel updates - it feels professionally written, and I almost wish this was adapted into a tv series. The translation is amazingly well done without the awkwardness that sometimes occurs when translating from chinese to english.

It's a love story but the romance is not the main feature of this story although it plays a major part. It's a tale of epic proportions and I truthfully think this deserves an adaptation. I wish I could re-read this again and... more>> follow the characters on their ups and downs from start to end. <<less

I have been following this series for a while, and I knew from the beginning that I would enjoy it, the dialogue is fresh and not overused, and the setting and world building is done well, I love how the story is fleshed out with politics and corruption, instead of being a straight romance, but either way, I wouldn’t mind. The author allows for characters to grow apart, and still be able to connect even though they are different from where they left off which is realistic, and not done... more>> enough in this genre. The characters actually have development. The translation does it justice, and it is not painful to read, a godsend. <<less

This novel is about two young girls who struggle in the cruel world of cultivation whilst dealing with complicated family relationships and their own emotions. That is how presents itself in beginning at least.

The story as of chapter 62 is a grim piece with mentions of s*avery, r*pe, depression, su*cide as well as war. While the earlier chapters where fairly light hearted the tone changed all to quickly. I was not prepared for how quickly the story changed its tone and as I am really not a fan of the... more>> misery trip I feel that a rating for 3 out of 5 is appropriate.

The translation is decent although there were several oddities at times with sentences not fitting the action at the moment or sentences being repeated for no reason.

The world building is all in all nice but nothing special. It is what you'd would expect from other Xianxia novels.

The characters are relatable and likeable aside the antagonists, although other characters aside the two main characters were not given enough time to be completely developed properly, which relates to the prior shift in tone. <<less

This is an extremely well-written novel. No moment in the novel makes you feel like a filler, random bs, or ass-pull. The story arcs are extremely coherent from the beginning to the end with a very good pacing. It's like the author has planned everything clearly from the start and just follows through with her plan with no intention of dragging out the content for benefit.

The novel is plot-driven; the romance is not entirely the main focus but plays a big part in advancing the story. The plot itself is... more>> intriguing enough to grab the reader's attention, but the main strength of the novel is undoubtedly the way the romance and the angst are written. The romance is slow-burn and feels natural, and it's expressed mainly through the actions of the characters instead of just sweet talks. In fact, not until near the end of the novel that you hear them express their love through direct words, but we know their feelings have been around for a while, and the characters themselves also know about their partner's affection. And when the angst comes, it hits hard. You can really feel the emotions of the characters during their tragedies, which is my favorite thing about the novel. The ending is also fulfilling and satisfying, so you don't have to worry about getting an abrupt ending after investing so much into the novel.

All in all, a must-read novel even if you don't like GL. <<less

This story feels like a breath of fresh air, it's Xanxia and gl but without the dull overused same plots. It has a distinct story, nice characterization, and it's not afraid of not having the protagonists not be the most perfect destined people who always win.

That's right, the protagonists do not always win here, they even lose significantly and more importantly they lose in a meaningful way, it's not symbolic losses you can sweep under the rug.

It's not a perfect read, I feel volume 1 is amazing, but volume 2... more>> and 3 are a bit less focused, in need of a slight polishing/editing, but it is still very very good and anyway way better than most stories on NU.

read it. You don't even have to like xanxia or gl. <<less

There's a lot of things to love and few things to dislike with this novel.

What I really love the most is the quality of translation, which really surprised me as the as the updates came really quick. I also love the characters, especially the MC and FL!

FL is cool and awesome, but is not the cold overbearing type who is invincible or strongest/wealthiest in the world, she is someone who can lose terribly and can suffer a lot of loss; MC is smart and charismatic, but not to the point... more>> that she can do no wrong and will be perfect until the end, she is someone who you love and hate and then love again because she is deeply flawed and her circumstances isn't easy.

The plot, world-building and characters definitely hooked me in, but as the plot progressed it seemed not as fleshed out as it was in the beginning.

This only became a problem in Volume 2,
Spoiler

after Gu Fuyou reincarnated.

The biggest flaw would be... the world became smaller, and the worldbuilding that the author worked on introducing just went poof.

What about Dongli and Xuan Miao Sect? She was a very interesting character that got sidetracked after the extra chapters, surely someone entrusted by Yunran Xuanzun to monitor her greatest enemy's dragon daughter would've been a formidable cultivator. She just got... married off and written off, a few chapters detailing Zhong Michu's and Dongli's responsibility to rebuild Xuan Miao Sect would've been nice as we've spent the first volume reading about Xuan Miao Sect and various cultivators within the sect. It feels a bit unresolved and lacking to me, Xuan Miao Sect's revival deserved a chapter detailing its situation after Zhong Michu became the Dragon King or after her marriage to Gu Fuyou, or when she reached immortalization because then that would mean she attained a higher cultivation level than her master and mother. Yunran Xuanzun, Ji Chaoling and majority of the cultivators literally sacrificed themselves for Zhong Michu.

What about Ah Fu and Yi'er after Zhong Michu came out of seclusion? Being the child of MC and FL, she had very little characterization and scenes other than stalking her mother. Reading about a grown up Yi'er with Ah Fu would've been nice, they're both sole survivors; Yi'er is the only golden dragon and Ah Fu the only remaining Zhenmao.

I still highly recommend this novel, amazing translation and I love the dynamic of MC&FL! Great read and enjoyable read if you like the more serious type of reading. <<less

Utterly amazing!

The beginning was somewhat confusing to understand as you're just thrust into the action. Basically, our MC gets into a sect, but they don't really want to be there. Things become much easier to understand afterward, so don't let the beginning deter you! It's a bit slow, but the ball really starts moving when the MC and FL have a heart-to-heart that starts to show our MC's character better. The characters are great, the set-up is lovely, and the ending is fulfilling!

Personally, this is one of my favorite completed cultivation Yuri novels alongside The Beauty's Blade. However, this is definitely my number one, most favorite angst novel! Of course, there's a happy ending, so angst to your heart's content!

Got me hooked that I lose sleep (it was worth it). Interesting complex characters and world building. There is definitely some flaws in the novel. After volume 2 it felt like author didn't focus on world building that much anymore since in my opinion it could be expanded/give information more, giving more interesting world building and volume 3 wrapped nicely to the end of the story. However all in all it was very enjoyable that it probably became my favorite and also comfort novel that I will reread sometimes in... more>> the future. 4.5/5 would recommend to read it :) <<less
