His long, unrequited love for Wei Wuxian is one of the novel's most famous aspects, and as the readers fall more in love with him, so does WWX.

Around chapter 10 we see their super cute past. After this flashback they basically go alone, the both of them together on a ghost hunt. Hashtag couple goals with cute worrying about injuries and everything. They bang in the last few chapters and only confess like 90% into the novel.

He is elsa, tsundere ice king. DAMN CUTE. He used to be those stuck up, up and coming pride of the clan cultivator. (His sect is super strict and rigid.) Then Wei WuXian crashes into his life in a study exchange programme and annoys the heck out of him. The hall monitor he is can't STAND the MC. Yet after towards the reborn MC, he is super tolerant. It gets a bit heartbreaking when we see clues all around that he missed the MC very very dearly.

Our Main Character starts off life like many children with two loving parents, although to be honest I am still unsure how exactly they died. We only get a brief description of a flashback where he's riding on his dad's shoulders on top of a donkey with his mother looking on. After his parents died he was left to wander the streets but even so he still held a smile on his face while eating scraps of orange peels and such. He's absolutely terrified of dogs because while living on said streets, the dogs would constantly bite him fighting over the meager scraps of food he could get his hands on. So as the story progresses and things change, the one thing that's always the same is that he becomes a blubbering baby whenever he hears a dog bark. Which is another telling factor that he is in fact the 'Yiling Ancestor' in his 'brother's' eyes.

The Jiang Patriarch, Jiang Cheng's father, found our MC on the streets after looking for him a long time, before bringing him back home. Of course his wife never liked our MC because Jiang Cheng, her child, was often overlooked in favor of this seemingly spawn of all disasters child. I'm not joking when I say this Lady Yu was a real debbie downer and constantly attacked our MC. Blaming him for things that had nothing to do with him.

When our MC first arrived at their residence, the Patriarch told him to sleep in Jiang Cheng's room. Unbeknownst to him of course. Which made for a very angry child who had just been forced to give up his loved dogs because of said child. MC was kicked out of the room but he was scared dogs would attack him after J.C. threatened to have dogs bite him, so he ran to the Lotus dock and climbed a tree to pass the night. During the night J.C.'s older sister came to find MC and MC fell from the tree which made him break a leg. So older sister carried him on her back. On their way back to the room they heard weird noises coming from the side and discovered that J.C. had fallen and was also injured.

Older sister found that both her little brothers were funny and decided to carry them both with difficulty. One in front and one on her back. (This is a very telling sign on how close the two were with this sister of their's) . When they reach J.C.'s room and she sets them down, we can see that J.C. is worried that MC will tell his father he kicked him out of the room. J.C. is very fickle about how his dad sees him because he always tries to get the affection of his parents. MC already knows he is worried about this and has never wanted to cause trouble for anyone so he tells J.C. he'll tell 'Uncle' that he wanted to climb a tree and fell all by himself. (One of his many characteristics which is often overlooked because of the things he does. Our MC is very compassionate, too compassionate. To the point that he takes all the burdens onto himself and doesn't voice out many grievances. Especially for those he cares for.) In turn, J.C. says that from now on he'll scare away any dogs that come after MC.

This agreement between the two boys cemented a bond. Although J.C. is a grumbly sort of Character and often snarks at our MC, the MC doesn't take it to heart. To be honest, I'm almost sure that J.C. is a Tsundre. I'm going to skim a bit here about their growing up. Basically it goes over times where they did stupid things like stealing chickens, grafiti on walls, shooting arrows at kites made to look like Monsters and Ghosts. Many of these flashbacks aren't very interesting but in turn informational. It gives you an outlook on the relationships that were formed between our MC and the many people who in the end, surrounded him and killed him in his previous life.

As the story progresses, it skips to when MC and J.C. are teenagers and enter the Lan Sect. To be honest, I don't know if this is correct but I do know it's a school with over 3000 rules which drives our MC insane. Not literally but he hates the rules so much that he goes out of his way to defy most of them. I can't agree more with his actions though. Some of the rules are rather ridiculous to the point that others find it baffling as well. Of course the person our MC later falls in love with is the epitome of those rules. He's a stickler for them and tries to enforce them on our MC at every turn.

This leads to large amounts of fun for MC because who wouldn't want to tease an ice like person who only knows how to follow about a million silly rules. The first time our ship sails is when MC goes out to buy alcohol, Emperor Smile I believe it was called, and tries to jump the wall back into the school. Lan Wunji (I could be spelling his name wrong so I'm just going to call him L.W.) just happened to come out of closed door training when he sees our MC with one leg over the wall and alcohol in his hand.

Of course MC, the jokester that he is, teases L.W. and offers him a jug of wine if he just lets this matter go. L.W. is stone faced and tells him the rules. MC retorts that there are too many rules and he's yet to actually read all of them so just let him go. He then goes on to say he'll just drink it right there since technically he's not on school grounds and drinking. When he finishes the wine, L.W. begins to fight him. Another rule broken for both of them since Fighting is also prohibited on school grounds.

MC's crowd of friends flock around him and joke about his misfortune later on. MC is always stirring up trouble and J.C. snarks to him about how he's foolish and should stop giving trouble to those around him. Later our MC is forced to repeatedly write the rules and other things as punishment and what do you know, L.W. is the one to overlook that he actually finishes it.

In the Lan family, there is a sort of curse they can use to shut people's mouths for about 30 minutes. So anytime our MC is off talking nonsense to L.W. instead of writing the rules, L.W. simply shuts his mouth. Our clever MC decides to write notes to L.W. and by the end of the day the floor gets littered with trash. This goes on constantly until MC gets any kind of reaction from L.W. such as anger over the fact that MC replaces his book with a porno.

During this time, it looks like L.W. hates our MC but there's many things that cue us off that in fact he really likes our MC. For one, he's caught sometimes staring at him and many of MC's friends joke that he's thinking of ways to punish MC. Of course anyone who loves the ship knows that couldn't be far from the truth irregardless of the fact that L.W. has a stone face. L.W.'s brother is often seen talking to L.W. about how 'you look worried' 'you seem happy' and many other things that give us pause since of course L.W. has no different facial movement from previously.

There's many more scenes of how MC and L.W. constantly interact. MC is a jokester and is constantly saying things like 'aren't we close. Just let it go' or many other jokes like when he hands over two bunnies who start humping one another. In the end they're both male as pointed out by L.W. and MC finds this hilarious because he wanted to know what L.W. was looking at to know such a thing. L.W. is still stone faced but he throws MC out the window and I can only assume it was in embarrassment rather than anger.

I've realized I'm leaving out the 'horror' aspect in this but that's because I'm not very good at describing such amazing scenes that the author wrote. This is simply me trying to sum up key parts for those who really want to know and not to substitute for a summary done by a professional or a translation.

Many key characters seen later are among the teenagers who attend school with MC. MC's character is constantly flirting with women, rather shameless in the things he says, he really just doesn't have a filter and it's hard not to love him. Time is going to skip a bit again. MC went monster hunting with a large group of people and L.W. as well as J.C. were a part of it. Needless to say everyone in the group got out of a bad situation except for L.W. and MC who were trapped in a cave with a rather scary Monster. In the end the both of them teamed up to kill this thing otherwise they'd both become chow.

When they were finally saved, MC was scolded by J.C.'s mom about how it was his fault and put the blame on him about pretty much every inconvenience. Then word began to spread that a person from the Wen family had killed the monster and L.W. went on to say it was MC who killed it. MC refuted saying it was mostly thanks to L.W. Well the Wen family guy who had taken credit was rather upset about this and in order to not have them attack L.W. MC decided to take on the responsibility.

In doing so he took on the wrath of the Wen Family. Unfortunately, he implicated the Jiang family in the process. At first they beat MC severely as recompense to them but when the Wen family tried to have them hurt J.C. as well, Miss Yu lashed out in anger. This caused a major fight to take place which unfortunately happened during the time that the Jiang Patriarch wasn't home. Miss Yu locked both J.C. and MC together on a boat at the lotus dock and repeatedly berated MC about how it was his fault so he'd better use his life to take care of J.C. Before shipping them off she hugs J.C. and says he's a good boy which is the first time we've seen her show any kind of compassion towards anyone.

J.C. is practically foaming at the mouth in anger to break free and on their way they see the light when the Jiang Patriarch releases them and asks whats happening. Unfortunately, once he finds out he locks them back up again and heads off to battle while shoving them down stream. By the time they break free, they both know nothing good happened. MC repeatedly tries to keep J.C. next to him and go find help since they're not strong enough. While MC is getting food, J.C. runs away and heads back to the dock. (It's taken a while to write this review and so periodically I've continued reading. I recently found that in fact J.C. didn't run to the dock but saw the Wen family people searching for the both of them so he ran out to distract them from finding MC. Which is why he was taken back to the Wen Family for torture.)

MC in his fervourous haze, runs back as fast as he can but there's no one there not even J.C. and he's about to freak out. Wen Ning shows up and calms him down. Saying he can help him get J.C. back. MC met Wen Ning a while back at a competition and was the only person who was kind to him when he was shooting arrows. Even though Wen Ning is part of the Wen family he'd rather defy them and help MC then be on his bad side. He returns with an unconcious J.C. and takes both of them back to his house.

He does this because the Wen family is looking for MC and what better place to hide than in the Wen family place. Wen Ning's sister is good with medicine and even though she is mad about them bringing trouble to her brother she still helps J.C. with medicine.
J.C. is unresponsive though because his parents are both dead and his cultivation was destroyed by the Wen family. What use is there in living if he can't even seek revenge. So he refuses to eat or drink and at his wits end, MC makes up a story for J.C. saying that at the foot of a mountain if he wears an eye cover and doesn't peek, but says that he's actually the MC and tells the person his mother is MC's mother, the person there will heal him.

Of course this reawakens the urge to live for J.C. so he begins eating. (This is kind of said in chapter 100 instead of about 50 when this part took place but since I'm going chronological than I'm just going to put it here instead). J.C. didn't know that in actual fact our MC had gone to Wen Ning's big sister and asked her for a way to save his cultivation and in fact she did but it wasn't anything tested yet and might actually just destroy both their cultivation in the end. He agreed to it and on that mountain it wasn't just J.C. but Wen Ning, his older sister, as well as MC that were there. In order for J.C. to recover his cultivation, MC gave up all of his cultivation to transfer to his body.
That is why later our MC is seen never wanting to use his sword anymore and why in the end he changed his cultivation path to follow to 'Evil' path. He didn't have the ability to cultivate and it really caused a heavy blow to him, a child who had basically nothing going for him aside from being really good at cultivating. He found ways to manipulate sound and control evil spirits as well as the dead.

Of course this brought him a lot of trouble especially after he murdered a lot of the Wen Family who had killed the Jiang people. The way he killed them was rather brutal though so it's understandable why people were apalled. One of the guys was forced to eat his own leg meat repeatedly. So you can understand why people were terrified of MC.

MC found out that people killed Wen Ning and so resurrected and rehabilitated him. Wen Ning killed a lot of the people who murdered him when he woke up. After this, for a time, MC and some members of the Wen family who were on good terms with Wen Ning and his sister, decided to build a home on the mountain. It was rather calm living even though many of the families were greedy for the symbol MC created that could control the undead. But MC ignored the outside and lived peacefully with the people there.

All things don't last though and MC soon found out his sister was going to marry someone who he hated. But seeing as she loved him, he didn't object. During this time, since there was so many objections to his way of 'cultivating', MC had already broken off ties with the Jiang family in order to not implicate them. So his sister and J.C. snuck over to see him before she was to get married and she made him a bowl of porrige that she frequently made him growing up.

Her husband and a few other people go to confront MC over something that had nothing to do with him and Wen Ning loses control and kills his Sister's recently married Husband. This starts off a chain of horrible events that turns everyone against MC. Wen Ning and his older sister go to offer themselves up to be killed in exchange for the death of this guy and in the process more people are killed. MC was paralyzed for three days because of W.N.'s sister so he couldn't move and didn't know what was going on. Anything that has to do with W.N. though, ultimately goes back to MC and he gets implicated.

The families now had an excuse to surround and kill him but MC shows up and confronts them before they can go to his mountain. Some teenager shoots MC with an arrow and everything goes to hell from there because he sends the arrow back. People begin trying to attack him and so he raises the dead and has them fighting all the people in the yard. Unfortunately, his sister runs in and calls his name but his mind is a mess and can't control the zombies. One stabs her in the back before J.C. or MC can get to her. She's still alive when they kneel next to her and she says 'You left before I could say anything to you..' because the day before he went to see her sneakily but found the husband's mom there with her and his baby nephew. The mother in law saw him and called for people to come arrest him/kill him so he left before he could say anything to his sister.

She then goes on to say that she had something to say to him but before she can finish she pushes him away and a sword goes through her throat. Someone had tried to kill him but she protected him and instead was killed. MC loses his mind and joins the symbol together because it was too powerful and he split it in two. (This is the symbol everyone wants. Honestly it's called Tiger but saying it's the 'Tiger Symbol' that is used to control undead just seems wrong to me. lol)

He doesn't have any memories about what happened after this, at least none that I've caught up to. Aside from Lin XiChen, L.W.'s brother, yelling at him about how he's pretty much an asshole for not remembering that L.W. stayed with him and protected him inside of a cave but MC just kept telling L.W. to leave. Technically 'Roll' is the word he used. Which to me sounds worse than just leave. So to be honest, I really don't know how the hell he died yet because as of right now it seems he didn't initially die from being surrounded and unleashing a swarm of zombies.

Now then, I'll continue from the point where he is now in possession of another's body.

MC is as shameless as he was previously. Although, as he had grown from his teenage years that shameless personality warped into a sort of anger at people who were unjust. But to others it seemed he was killing indiscriminately. So now he's in this new body and seems to have forgotten everything that happened in his previous life that was bad and is just his usual shameless happy person.

L.W. realizes who he is immediately and we've still not been given a reason as to why he knows. Maybe the flute? Wen Ning? Or the fact that he says that L.W. is his type and not Jiang Cheng? Who knows at this time.

An arm is found and it's rather unruly, so both L.W. and MC team up to tame it with their music and 'go on a journey' to search out the rest of the body parts to figure out what the hell is going on. At one point MC sucks a curse into his body from Jiang Ling's which is his nephew, sort of. You get to see his interactions with the younger generation but you don't realize who these people are until later. Such as one of the kids from the Lan School who he first meets, is actually the little 2 year old child that was constantly clinging to his legs in his previous life. One of Wen Ning's cousin's children, who had lived with them and 50 others on that mountain before MC was killed. Of course, the kid doesn't remember anything except L.W. who had bought him toys when he was a kid while eating with MC and the kid got attached to L.W.

So as you can see, there are people that were initially a part of MC's life but don't recall it or simply forget the things he had done for them. Jiang Cheng still hates him and blames him for his parents as well as sister's death. For some reason, he blames Wen Ning for his sister's death and so does the nephew. But as I've stated before it was some person trying to kill MC that stabbed her in the throat. Granted, a zombie stabbed her in the back prior but she wouldn't have died.

MC notices things but thinks they're just hilarious hypocritical details about L.W. Such as, the Emperor's Smile Wine he has hidden in the floor. Or the loads of bunnies running around the fields, or the scars he has on his body that much MC's from the previous life. There's things he kind of overlooks and doesn't put it into his mind as curious. But as you go along you realize how much L.W. loved MC. When MC first sees L.W. when he's reborn he remarks on how L.W. is straight up wearing mourning clothes as if his 'wife' died. MC says this in a purely joking manner and doesn't realize how spot on he was.

When L.W. takes MC back to the school the first thing L.W. does is take a bath and change into regular school clothes even though he was previously wearing mourning clothes for who knows how long. Yet, no one actually remarks about his sudden change in clothes... Oddly enough.

There's a lot of things I'd like to go over in detail, mainly the fighting and creepy scenes, but it's too much and difficult. So, the two go on this journey to find the other body parts and of course there's struggles along the way. MC gets L.W. drunk a couple of times and thinks it's funny at first because L.W. acts like a spoiled child, but L.W. actually begins to show signs that he wants more from MC and MC thinks he's the bad person for taking advantage of L.W. Such as him kissing L.W. while L.W. is drunk or at one point L.W. is in the bath tub drunk and pulls MC in and they begin to get really hot and bothered. L.W. ends up waking up when MC says thank you to him though. It get's rather awkward because previously L.W. forgot everything that happened while he was drunk and this time they're pretty much both naked.

At this point everyone and their mom knows that MC has taken possession of this body. Of course the 'bad guy' was the one to leak out the news. Jiang Cheng had already known though because of MC's fear of dogs. The bad guy who's portrayed in this.. I really don't know his name to be honest since he uses three different ones. He's surnamed Jin as well as Meng. Jiang Ling refers to him as Uncle as well. So there's a close relationship to the Jiang family. But his mother was a prostitute and thus everyone would talk badly behind his back.

He's not really a typical bad guy though. I mean, is any of them? Yes they do bad things but usually they have a reason. Granted, he ended up killing a lot of people and ultimately it was wrong, but he has that morose background story where you kind of want to feel bad for him? Then we find out that the person who brought MC's soul back is quite possibly the brother of the person who had been chopped up. One of the MC's friends from school, which was overlooked since he seemed to be a scaredy-cat. MC knows that everything was put in place by this friend in order to take revenge for his brother but he has no evidence so he doesn't call him out on it.

Lan XiChen ends up killing the 'bad guy' kind of accidentally on purpose when the ^^ scaredy-cat shouts at him to watch out. The 'bad guy' was already injured at this time and hadn't even moved but Lan XiChen stabbed his sword backwards to prevent any action to him. Which shocked the hell out of everyone except the 'scaredy-cat'.

I forgot to add this in but it was really hilarious so I can't leave it out. Prior to this battle with the bad guy, the MC gets caught and L.W. shows up, this just so happens to take place about an hour after the whole bathtub shindig. So the MC in a kind of panicked state shouts 'Lan Zhan I really want to go to bed with you' basically professing his love in front of all the villianous people as well as L.W.'s brother XiChen. _-_ L.W. is still stone faced but this time he's thoroughly tongue tied. It's really cute. L.W. even laughs when MC says that 'I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to die. I still haven't checked Lan Zhan's lower body yet, I've only checked the top half.' MC says this in a rather serious manner and L.W. is behind him at the time. Who knew he'd laugh at one of MC's joke. This laugh really throws everyone in the room as well, since everyone knows L.W. is an iceberg.

Everything is all settled after they lock up the severed corpse and the bad guy into a coffin together since the corpse was too strong and violent. MC and L.W. leave without really talking to anyone. This is where I'm at currently. Hope this was a bit curbing on some people's appetites. Yes there's no s*x as of yet, not even to 2nd base really. But the story line and plot are amazing so I don't really mind.

(I've come back to my review after completing the entire book which literally was only a few chapters after where I last wrote. In the end MC and L.W. end up going off to do the night battles in random places. They ended up 'marrying' one another and along the way they heard talk about how L.W.'s brother had locked himself away because of depression. L.W. and MC have s*x but of course it skims over these scenes so you honestly don't get any actual details. This novel is mostly soft in that regard. They both pack up and head back to the Lan School and MC is on his best behavior so that L.W.'s uncle can't say anything bad to him. The novel ends on a rather light note I guess. Everyone is in the place's they should be and aside from the foreshadowing of a possible second book it ends on a 'loving' scene.

To be honest though, a lot of things are unresolved in my opinion. It seems that the brother of the guy who was chopped up and sealed inside of the coffin, might eventually open that coffin. Or even some random person who wants that Tiger Symbol might possibly open up the coffin to retrieve it for power. It would've been a more clean break at the end had the MC destroyed that last half of the Tiger Symbol to abolish any further consequences from rising up.

I do have to agree with someone elses opinion though about the fact that Jiang Ling's the most sorry figure out of everyone. In the end both of his parents and grandparents were killed and he can't even get upset at the people responsible for it. He's got nowhere to actually vent that anger. Everyone in this book owes that child the most.)

The confession scene was hilarious and after they finally acknowledge their feeling for each other, they start showing off so much PDA even the final boss gets distracted.

The MC's actions by being overconfident and having a better than you attidute basically caused his own death.... Of course we had the main Mastermind behind the scenes faning the flames and causing trouble....

What I loved about this novel is that while the main mastermin's indirect actions led the MC to his death but it was also his actions that led to the MC's revival

Of course the true victim of this story was the MC's sister's child.... Several people had a hand on his parents death but in the end he couldnt bring himshelf to blame anyone since everyone had their own reasons and circumstances

The fog city flashbacks...I had a tough time believing Xue Yang could deceive Xiao Xingchen for so long, because Xingchen had other senses even if blind but I guess there had to be maximum death and tragedy
