After an explosion, You XiaoMo finds that he is now a probationary disciple of the TianXin sect. However, he is one with dubious potential, so just when he starts to adapt to his new circumstances, he receives a piece of bad news. If he is unable to produce the required result after half a year to become an official disciple of the TianXin sect, he would be driven out of the sect.

While You XiaoMo is going all out to make medicines and earn money, he runs into Ling Xiao. To his horror, he later discovers that Ling Xiao is actually someone cloaked in human skin.

This was boring and long. I mean, it is like the other 'isekai and Chinese fantasy action power-up novels', so if you like a dash of BL I don't see why you can't like it, but I just can't be entertained at all.

I started reading this when I was first getting into chinese BL novels, and enjoyed it back then when I was new to the genre, now due to loyalty alone I skim some of the final remaining chapters here and there.

First off, the MC and ML don't change... more>> at all. Momo is the literal wife to possessive ML character and stupid or 'clever' at author's will. ML is a perfect guy that never loses. He enjoys making fun of the MC for being stupid and will on a very rare occasion say something nice in a conceited manner.

In the very first part of the book it was okay, because it seemed the MC was cheeky, learning about the world, and ML was actively trying to win his affection, but it plateaus. MC started out with a slight moral dilemma because of ML killing folks left and right, but he quickly turned just as heartless, treating anyone at his spoiled whim as long as he's powerful enough. Am I supposed to like these two high-handed, one dimensional people? They are the same as the other power hungry characters in the book, I can't even say they aren't petty, just marginally less cruel and the 'MCs'... so we know we're supposed to root for them and enjoy watching them win every time? I'm fine with characters being evil, cruel, grey morality, but in this novel it's shallow.

And when I say 'clever', not really. None of the characters in this novel are clever. They make petty schemes and then the enemy always loses from underestimating the other. I don't know how many times I've read a character thinking with regret 'I underestimated X and never thought he could do X!!'. You would think with so many chapters there would be some lit intense plots going down, but everything is fast wear and none of the characters got fleshed out, so although there are chapters and chapters of 'plot', I just can't care.

Spoiler

In the end, ML is magical guy with all beast line blood, MC is special magical mage guy with special soul, both of lost bloodlines. Very cliche, does not need 600 chapters to reveal that they are OP, I could guess it from the start.

[collapse]

Besides the first 100 or so chapters (when MC was at least in his first sect and the setting was constant), I never felt a lick of danger for the mc/ml. I always knew they would win ez pz and by ch 600 whatever it's the same.

The side characters, antagonists and allies alike, are like a horde of locusts. They come in and out of the story quickly and in droves, there's no way I'll remember when they introduce one from way back when because they all are boring and unmemorable.

The only slightly interesting aspect in my opinion was the building of the Qiu team and the random settings in different places being weird and magical, but it never felt exciting. Not to mention, I was hoping Qiu team would actually, you know, get more story time than other characters since they were contract beasts so I could care about them, but the author frequently had MC send them away on some task or another so I end up barely knowing the difference between xiao hei or she qiu.

The author at least spent about a chapter of words on the first couple s*x scenes, but then quickly stopped, where they turned into a passing remark, so even steaminess isn't present to keep me cursorily entertained.

Boring, lengthy for no reason, MC and ML not very likable and have no progression, I'd give it 2.5/5 but will do 2. <<less

This is a fun novel depicting a dominant Top. You will see how the *wife* evolves into a strong character equal to his partner. It may take a while before the *wife* grows; however, it's fun reading how their relationship turns from the Top being a predator to a Top being a possessive yet somewhat caring type. Also, with the thrill of knowing who they really are and the thrill of reading battles sometines with comical approach.

The comments suggested that there was very little yaoi content or romance, with the story more focused on alchemy and perhaps adventure. I was totally excited since I dislike yaoi, but enjoy all the other things.

... Yeah the comment people lied. As you read it, you start thinking to yourself: Hey... this is starting to get a bit... gay.
Then you continue onwards, and although nothing major happens, you get the romance vibes from the MC and his new friend.
Then you go beyond that and the s*xual tension starts... more>> sky rocketing. You are just expecting an M/M scene, and every interaction has you thinking: Oh my god, it's totally going to happen. I should stop now, why am I not stopping now?!?!

And finally it happens, and you find yourself in shock. That just happened? I kind of liked it. Oh god, am I into yaoi now?

Like don't get me wrong, I absolutely despise yaoi, but this was very well done. I think the main selling point was that it was all very believable and nothing seemed forced. It doesn't really come as a surprise either, so you're constantly hanging onto your seat in anticipation. So ladies! If you ever want to introduce your terrified guy friends to the yaoi genre, you might want to get them started on this. It's a fun read with all the classical elements of a Xianxia novel, but with more emotional characters. <<less

(Edit: I think the name is a bit off, there is no need for "Master, " it should just be "The Legendary Wife, " though I could be wrong)

I do really like this novel, to the point where I’m willing to listen to google reading it to me. HOWEVER, I have a problem with the main pairing. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my yaoi and shounen ai, my problem has to do with their interaction with each other.

At chapter 392, their relationship is still so uneven. Everything... more>> has to go Ling Xiao’s way, the only time XiaoMo can do what he wants is when he doesn’t care. XiaoMo has to do or say what Ling Xiao wants him to do or say, otherwise he will get punished. His favorite way of punishing is on the bed. Even when it’s just for pleasure or for training, he doesn’t consider XiaoMo’s physical condition or the fact he is telling him to stop. XiaoMo also has to be careful who he hangs out with or says to other people, because Ling Xiao would get jealous. He is too controlling, and every single time XiaoMo has to go with what Ling Xiao wants, because he is afraid of some punishment. Yes, Ling Xiao pampers and protects him in other ways, but that isn’t a relationship where the two have an equal say or standing. Ling Xiao pampers and protects him because he wants to anyways, so it’s not like he is compromising, something he does not do.

Another thing, when Xiao Mo is with him, I can’t help but feel that the boy gets rather stupid. By himself or with other people, he’s quite smart, but when he is with Ling Xiao he can do/say some stupid things.

I’m not saying the two aren’t cute together, or that I they aren’t the OTP, but it still bugs me that they have such an unbalanced power relationship. If it wasn’t for that, I would have given 4 stars. At first I gave 5, because their uneven power-relathionship made sense in the beginning, but that continued even to chapter 392, so I changed it to 3. Hopefully it will change. <<less

Funny story, lovable YXM, cunning LX, their cute interactions, the storytelling and everything else makes it an amazing story. Those who feel itchy reading BL can read this without any problem for at least a 100 or so chapters I think?

I see a lot of people confused over this story's title. As someone who completely finished reading Legendary Master's Wife, I can definitely say that it is a good title. All will be clear later on in the story as the translators didn't even cover half novel yet.

I've also seen some people commenting on how the protagonist is weak = this story is trash. Those people should really stick around as You Xiao Mo's character development is steadily spread throughout the story. It was definitely interesting and satisfying to see... more>> him growing from the kid who pukes at the sight of corpses into a full fledged warrior who won't even bat an eye killing his opponent while still maintaining that stupidly lovable personality.

One thing that makes this BL story stands out from the rest is the way the author focuses more on the plot rather than lovey dovey scenes. Legendary Master's Wife has a very vast world and the author took her time describing each and every little aspect in that world, including many side characters with their own stories. You don't have to like BL to enjoy this Xuanhuan story packed with actions and comedy.

And as someone who read plenty of BL stories, I have to say I like Legendary Master's Wife the most. Because I have read so much, I got sick of seeing sappy romances between the oh-so-perfect uke (bottom) and seme (top) that this story is like a breath of fresh air.

Throughout the entire story there is never once any cliche or over the top romantic scenes between the two main characters. They don't loose control when seeing the other getting hurt and doesn't stalk their partner 24/7 like some sort of freak. They are not one of those unsecured couples that can't live without seeing the other for even an hour either.

Rather than romance, I would say that the two protagonists, Lin Xiao and You Xiao Mo got more of a bond between them. They just eventually ended up standing side by side at some point without us realizing and didn't even need to exchange sappy words like "I love you". Seriously, I can't even remember if they ever said one "I love you" throughout all 713 chapters. That's how little (or none) of these sappy moments that's in the story. The characters express their love through their actions, never words. They don't have mushy romances in any of their interactions, but more of a firm trust that drew them to one another.

There are definitely jealousy scenes, but those scenes are more hilarious moments. Rather than comforting their partner and saying lines like "you're the only one for me", Lin Xiao would harshly twist You Xiao Mo's ear as punishment while You Xiao Mo's would just mentally ranted since he doesn't want Lin Xiao to know he's jealous and get teased for it.

While in other BL stories the seme would go completely berserk when the uke gets hurt, Lin Xiao would let You Xiao Mo handle things on his own. The one time You Xiao Mo got seriously injured and barely escaped death, Lin Xiao asked him if it hurts and when You Xiao Mo said yes, he earned a smack in the head from Lin Xiao who told him to grow some brain cell next time, then proceed to tell him to hide while he deals with the enemy.

It's small scenes like these that makes me really love what You Xiao Mo and Lin Xiao shares. Their relationships feels so natural that they literally don't need to say it out loud for the readers and more importantly for one another to know.

This is definitely a great story, as a romance novel and as a simple Xuanhuan novel. The beginning might be slow, but as you read on it gets more and more interesting later. You Xiao Mo and Lin Xiao's backgrounds are definitely the key to the plot and once it's revealed, any questions or confusions people have now will all be answered. <<less

I love this novel!! Absolutely topped the list among all of those wuxias, xianxias novels right now (my opinion but I may be biased, lol) . The only downside that I can find is that the chapter is too short. I love how the character develops in which they are not clichey, compared to most novels. Translated BL novels are uncommon while the good one is rare, and this novel is included in the rare kind. You will absolutely adore the MC and how he interacts with the other characters... more>> especially his 'husband'... the plot is kind of slow but it is compensated with character development, albeit not too much but considering the progress of the novel (ch.137), still quite good. <<less

Slow when it comes to BL scenes and focuses more on the cultivation aspect at first.

Oh but they do flirt from time to time like hold hands, kiss, hide in their rooms to play with their *coughs* and are almost always inseparable.

They like to sneak out and the guy gives a lot of stuff to our diligent and treasure loving MC. If you read the Genius Doctor Black Belly Miss before, the male lead there is kinda similar to the lead here only he is not M.I.A. All the time... more>> cause he sticks around to protect You XiaoMo.

Basically like a sugar daddy and a sugar baby type of relations--- scratch that--- like HUSBAND AND WIFE! MC got this very wifey temperament: diligent, hard working, good with money, doesnt get mad easily oh but when he does, he knows how to use motherly tactics to make you do what he wants!

This was my first cultivation novel and I found it slow at first since I started this primarily for the YAOI tag but then the pills cultivation process of breaking through to the next level is very interesting!

Based from the comments, I heard the cherry popping scene is somewhere along the first few chapters of 300.

You are being lied. This is not BL. Well it is but let me explain.

The main character is not man. He is but he is written like a classic wuxia girl. He depends a lot on his alpha male/borderline rapist lover, like any generic wuxia girl.

Actually I want to rate it 4 stars. But in the end, it's just male Protagonist written like a female. Worse he doesn't have the usual assassin skill (kept the medecal gift).

Why does it bother me so much? Imagine I rewrote Harry Potter but changed... more>> wizards to magicians. Would you think I did something amazing? At least I don't think this author did. <<less

Started out interesting, then rapidly goes downhills. MC started off as a normal character trying to figure things out, then the author took the lazy route of neutering his personality. Now his only personality is to become conveniently smart when the plot requires it, and conveniently make stupid decisions when the plot requires it.

Follows a main pattern of go to a school/new continent, be conveniently stupid and make a rival, and after a series of adventures, ML swoops in and kills rival. Repeat as many times as needed. Intermixed with... more>> random OP power ups and convenient plot progression caused by MC randomly acting smart and dumb.

There are no intriguing side characters, they are all unmemorable and easily replaced. Villains have no real motivation for their actions other than the fact that they're just dumb and jealous of MC and ML. You can't even compare it to MDZS, which has actual plot and every character contributes something to the story.

In comparison, this is just a cheap power fantasy for people who wished they had an ultra hot/rich/powerful boyfriend to beat up all their high school bullies. We're 50ish chapters from the end of the story and MC has less personality than he started out with. Thats really impressive. <<less

As for why it was called legendary master's wife and why not the legendary wife or something. You'll understand when you read further...

Things will be revealed about the ML, how he bacame a legend and the most powerful in the story. This story is about both side's path becoming a legend... not just about MC.

The story looks interesting and is quite different from anything else I've read, so at least for originality it gets 5/5. But a very big drawback, at least for me, is that the MC is the weak one, getting used by the other character. I really dislike weak main characters. Switching them would be enough to make this 4/5 at least.

The other issue is the plot holes so huge that you can drive a titanic through them:

Spoiler

MC has his own space that he can go to at any time, but the one time Lin Xiao threatens to kill him, he completely forgets he has it; MC is the only one to realize that Lin Xiao is a double, even though he barely saw him before, while nobody else realizes it.

I'm giving this a 3/5 because the title still has no relevancy whilst 100 chapters in. I'm really confused, I like the style of writing, and the BL kinda came outa nowhere for me since no one tagged it as such till recently (OR I WAS REALLY STUPID AND MISSED IT). I'm really questioning my s*xuality reading this, but the plot so gud tho I keep coming back.

EDIT: I meant to give this 4.3 stars, but dang I forgot to press the stars again...

After reading 449 chapters, I think I'm qualified to have an informed opinion on this novel. I didn't really wanna read this novel because 1.) I don't really like Xuanhuan and 2.) the characterization of the MC like dumb, weak, door mat like those. On the first point, the world building is consistent and rich. The pace that the world is introduced, to the MC and the reader, is good. I did have to... more>> do a couple of double takes here and there.

Second, the characterization. I'm not sure if these are completely true (that the lead is dumb or weak). In front of the ML, well, these are not completely off, but I think the MC's behavior comes from a place of... complete faith in the love of the ML for him. That is, the MC can choose to ask questions that are not so smart, can choose to be cowardly, and can choose to relinquish control because he knows that the ML will hold up both of their portions of the sky. The couple is very much in love, and it is not one-sided.

Also, the MC is not dumb or weak, in fact, normally it is his contracted beasts and ML who think or say these things. Just think about it... many of these beings are much MUCH older than the MC. So the MC is not dumb or weak at all, he's just young and mortal. Compared to other rather "normal" people that we encounter, very few can best the MC in talent, intelligence, and ability. That the MC seems less cunning that others in this world (at least in the beginning) is because he comes from a world like ours, Earth. We experience less hardships compared to the ancient times, and if we're lucky enough, we've never had to wonder if someone was trying to cheat us (yay, Americans).

The Legendary Master is the ML. He's okay. I personally wouldn't tolerate being teased as much as the MC, but it works for their dynamic. The ML only jokes around with MC. We never see him have a complete two-sided conversation with another person. Although the ML "bullys" MC with s*x (which is mutually enjoyed), most other people are treated with distance or hostility. MC humanizes the ML. ML knows his boundaries with the MC.

The beginning of the novel reads very "slice of life" Stay to witness how the MC grows through his own hard work. Yes, he's got some cheats, but without these cheats, he'd probably still be an amazing mage albeit slower to be a legend (which is he is, in his own right). To be frank, the cheats are what the make the story entertaining. <<less

First off, I’m not into bl/yaoi.

That being said, before this series had the tag (which confounded many early adopters, myself definitely included) I read this series and found it to be very well written and equally well translated. Characters actually had their personalities, the main character actually felt like a person, and the story had great pacing and progression. What it also had was a very good sense of humor.

Considering the title, I had no clue it would turn out to be a bl, even assuming that Ling Xiao was... more>> actually a female in disguise. For story and characters alone, it is a great read (at least up until the tag lives up to its namesake). As for later on, depends on if you can get into it. Personally even though I loved the story, I can’t get much further into it. <<less

First time reading "Yaoi". Pretty much it's going to be the same as drewjn's review.

I saw this novel got really popular with a good ratings, but didn't take note of the genre "Yaoi" or "BL" as I don't see it in the Tag. Though not knowing it's Yaoi, I enjoyed reading it up to Chapter 58 and notice the interactions are getting a bit gay. Anyways, It's really well written and I like how the story goes. Too bad I absolutely dislike Yaoi, I tried to continue reading it but... more>> failed to.

Always thought that Ling Xiao is actually a female in disguise therefore I check the Genre, and found out it was a yaoi. Probably stopping this novel for now.

Would recommend it to those whom reads BL/Yaoi or perhaps wanna try it as the Yaoi doesn't seems to be too much into gay " as at Chapter 58". Perhaps a touch of it only. Great story, great flow 5* from me. Though the Yaoi part = ( <<less

Shortly... I loved this novel. All the characters and the relationship between them. And especially the main couple.

I read a lot of comments on how their relationship was not "healthy" and it's true BUT... in fact it's perfect.

I will explain in 4 points:

1) There is an evolution in their relationship and it's becoming more and more "healthy" to the point that the MC is actually willing to "endure" in the last chapters. To some point, if you really pay attention, you can feel how much the ML values his "wife"... more>> despite...

2) His personnality, yes the personnality of the seme makes him behave this way and there is some improving in the way he treats him. There are people who aren't just that "romantic" in their speech so you can feel their love in their actions and it is way more wanderful and intresting than some boring shojo romance... they are men sh*t. Alors, he is smart and their conversations turn out so hilarious... which leads me to the 3rd point.

3) The seme teases the uke about his IQ not to hurt him or to dominate him but because he is fed up that the MC is so depending on him. ML knows that the MC is smart and it is demonstrated several times but he also knows that he is "dumb" with him just because he spoils him so much. So the uke won't think for himself but prefers relying on the seme... not because he is becauming a "girl" but: first because he relies on the seme and mostly because he feels idle like any human on earth. Who would kill a cow and cut it to get the meat when it's already sold in supermarkets... (ok I got lost :p)

4) Finally, the characters are like what they are each with his own peronnality. And I am extreamly satisfied with the way their relationship is built because it is logic based on their personnalities and even more when we see the development through the time. It is at least way more believable than those "love at first sight stories" when they become so close and comfortable without even knowing each other.

I don't say it's an ideal relationship but isn't a fu*king well written one and oh god how much it is funny.

I really recommand this one although it's only the 3rd novel I read and I don't know much. I'd really like someone to recommand me such great novel after this one. <<less

The beginning was my favorite because it had the makings of a traditional xianxia with the MC starting off weak but working really hard to become stronger. The mystery behind the ML was really intriguing as well! Another reviewer wrote 'Farmville' (I cracked up) but that's exactly the type of story I wanted to read. So read this if you want to see the process/every step the MC takes to build power, gather treasures/cheats, powerful pets, cultivate to the top!

This is a very lighthearted almost purely entertainment read. Don't look... more>> too deeply at things, the characters are all pretty shallow, and there isn't a lot of development. There's no angst, it's all fluff and face-slapping. The MC is also almost never in any real danger.

I only wish the ML and MC had a better/different? relationship. First, from the way the ML treats the MC (basically like a pet or servant) it's hard to tell why he even likes him. Second, the ML literally beats the MC in everything. Skills, smarts, power-ups, etc. and pretty effortlessly as well (the MC will probably never catch up). And the ML is super dominant in the relationship. The MC listens to him for everything. Same with the physical intimacy. The MC is always written just 'enduring' it.

I wish the MC became more independent from the ML sometimes. And unfortunately, it might be the translation or the author, but some of the relationship parts between the MC and ML kind of cross the line and aren't actually that comedic?

Things I wish were different:

Spoiler

  • The ML does not seem to respect the MC
  • The ML is not tsundere but still manages to brutally mock the MC
  • The running joke that the ML thinks the MC is stupid is seriously getting old after 500 chapters... (FYI the ML is literally thousands of years old, the MC is not; of course he doesn't have as much experience with the schemes as the ML!)
  • The ML makes the first move every single time; 10/10 times bullies the MC for s*x; there's not much 'affection' otherwise.

It's better to not marathon this story after a certain point because that's when the MC and ML relationship gets the most annoying. In episodic/bite-sized pieces, it's more comedic and enjoyable. <<less
