Take my words as grains of salt.

Reminder:

I only talk about the relationship between the FL and the ML. Not the overall plot.

The summary is indeed misleading. So, MSB actually emphasized some things for this novel in her notes.

That are,

    1. Double Transmigration, both were from the 21st century.
    2. The Female Lead transmigrated twice. The first time was from the 21st Century to the Cultivation World. The second one was after her death in the Cultivation World.
    3. It's only a misunderstanding that the Female Lead in the 21st Century was a scumbag! She was not!
About the thing in their first life, a. ka 21st Century, it is indeed a misunderstanding, and the FL exaggerated the situation in her narration.

The FL doesn't cheat on the ML, nor do the ML cheat on the FL.

Their relationship in 21st Century is one of the problem that keep being mentioned in the novel.

Spoiler

In truth, the FL in 21st Century really did love the ML and so did the ML. Alas, misunderstanding. The FL is insecure about whether the ML really likes her or not. The ML is insecure about whether he is worthy to be liked by the FL or not.

The ML is... Extremely bad at communication. In the 21st Century, the ML isn't someone that is hauled to be a Male God. Well, at first. Later, he becomes Male God. Still, he considers himself as lowly thing. The shame and humiliation from his past are etched deep in his soul.

At first, he is someone on the bottom of the food chain. Not attractive. Bad at communication. Bad at understanding people and himself. A loner.

It is only until the FL step up that he becomes better... FL teach him to take care of himself better and support him so. Still, he becomes better in appearance only. He is bad at communication as evet. But, that fact is clouded by his cold-type beauty. Because of his bad communication skill, everyone keeps assuming and only assuming about his thoughts. This includes the FL.

The FL has been pursuing him for so long. She always got rejected, though. She believed that the ML accepted her in the end because the ML pity her.

So, one is overthinking, and one is bad at communication. A failure of communication could only lead to a failure of a relationship. There is no way for their relationship in the 21st Century to survive. Thus, they break up.

[collapse]

This novel is mostly from the Female Lead's PoV, so she doesn't instanly know everything. She has her own assumptions and views, which can be wrong, by the way. And, she will know it, that she is not right in everything she know or do.

The FL is definitely not the Holy Maiden and not the kindest of the bunch. She treated others like how they treated her. If you are kind to her, then she is kind to you. If you are not, well. Perhaps, for some, she is unlikable. But, I think, she is quite realistic because she has many flaws. She has her own conscience and won't let others bully her.

My favorite is the ML, though. I can't not like him.

The thing that I like the most in this novel is the their growth, especially the ML. They have their own good and bad points. They try to become better.

Spoiler

Like I said, the main problem in their relationship is their communication.

In the 21st Century, the FL keeps giving her love to the ML without getting a

significant response. She is the one who confessed. She is the one who proposed. The ML is passive in their relationship, so she is not confident in their relationship.

When there is an indication about him cheating, her confident crumbled to dust and she left. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Hence, the FL hired her friend to be her fake bf and 'cheated' the ML back.

The relationship ended with the two parties never reconciled. The FL died on a plane crash after that and she didn't know what happen to the ML later. The FL keeps lying to herself that she doesn't like the ML anymore.

Following it, they transmigrated to the Cultivation World. The ML doesn't want to have anything to do with the FL anymore (or so he thought) but he is weak to her. All in all, the FL is a lovely person as long as you don't cross her line. In this relationship, contrast to their 21st century, the ML keeps giving and giving without thinking he has give enough. The FL returns it, ofc. But, the insecurity from his first live is etched deep. No matter how good he is in the Cultivation World, he still think he was that unworhty lowlife of his first life.

The ML knows the FL is the same FL from 21st Century, but the FL doesn't know the ML is the same ML from the 21st century. The ML intends to keep it that way, as to let her forget the pathetic him from that life. But, honestly, that is a recipe for disaster. The more the FL loves the ML, the more the ML scared the FL will find out the truth and repulse him.

And... Find out more about it in the novel! Shower the ML with love!!!

In the end, the ML becomes confident and learns to love himself. I'm so proud of him.

The FL also learns to not jump into conclusion not keep her dissatisfaction for herself.

Communication is the key, guys.

[collapse]

Also, I just want to shower the Jing Yan and Xie Hantan with love. MSB really have tendency to make the Male Lead and the Supporting Characters suffer.

Considering this is one of MSB's oldest work, I won't say this is perfect, but, because it is not perfect, I enjoyed this.

I love how MC and ML try to be better to each other when they understand what happen in their 1st life, and why their relationship doomed

MC try his best to teach ML to love himself first before he love her and stop feeling inferior and too obsessive is so lovely

Some of the quote that I love to share :

... more>> 1st Quote :

"When two people love each other, they will naturally be together. If two people don't love each other, they will naturally separate. For a lifetime, love is actually snacks. Your dreams, career, and yourself are the staple food. Without snacks, the world will lose a lot of color. But it shouldn't be too devastating."

2nd Quote :

"But I don't want to put this sentence first, because I don't want your life to be happy or hopeless because of my decision. Before I say this, I hope you feel from your heart that even if I leave You, you are also a very good and excellent person, and you will also have a very good and very happy life."

"I hope that the love Su Qingyi gives you is such a complete and beautiful love that makes you an independent and complete person. It doesn't make you an existence dependent on me. You must not learn like those in our reality. Like abandoned middle-aged women, divorce is a devastating blow to their lives. Love is important, but it's never your whole life."

3rd Quote :

"Ran Shu, in fact, I used to think that you were a very kind person." Su Qingyi thought about it, turned her head slowly and looked at her with pity in her eyes: "But now I don't think so. The kindness of a person, It should be that she has experienced darkness, pain, betrayal, and humiliation, but she can still stick to her original heart. The kindness that will be distorted by this world is not kindness, it is naive, or hypocrisy."

Please don't feel discourage by reading the synopsis. MC really love the male lead, but she is indeed a clear headed person. If she think someone wrong her, she will take revenge. She is not perfect, she is real. She is not a holy mother heroine type of person, but she is not so cruel and will accept her own shortcoming

Spoiler

when MC first meet the male lead, the male lead is a fat pig, short, and ugly person. His appearance is not like the standard male god. But she still fall in love with him, and silently stalk him until they are in high school, when she saw him being bullied, and she can't take it anymore and declare to the world that he is hers. Her love for thee male lead is like a fire. A fire that burn for such a long time. But ML is like a cold ice block. He never said clearly that he love her. He has an inferiority complex and he think that he is not good enough for her. For him, being friend is better than being lover, because friend will last forever. Because of misunderstanding, their 1st life end in tragedy.

Later, ML in cultivation world will turn ugly, weak, and mortal. But MC recognize him, and try her best to heal his inferiority and shower him with love. See. MC is not scum. And ML is not scum. Please don't be afraid to wread this

[collapse]

My fav character other than MC and ml, is ml's master. Yun Xuzi. He is such a funny, and kind person. I really love his character. I think if I meet this kind of person, I can't help but feel attracted to him

This novel is not perfect, but it is still a lovely novel, so 5 stars for me <<less

Another great book of the author. Loved the chemistry and life lessons and boy it was packed with action. ML is very typical of the author, she seems to use the same mold. Except he is not as smart? FL and system was a bit annoying at the beginning but it quickly become better. Due to MTL, story wasn’t as enjoyable as I would have liked... a lot of cultivation details were just gibberish... I’ll reread it once it’s properly translated. As for the synopsis, it’s misleading none of the... more>> characters are scumbags, just a lot of misunderstandings. Definitely worth reading but wait for the translated chapters. MTL is not worth reading. <<less

Hoe, or to be more specific, FL is not worthy of the ML, ML is one of those ML thats just too good for the FL, why? Well, misunderstanding, she makes her pretend boyfriend beat the ML, the ML doesn't fight back even tho he is the one wronged, in their next life, he finds easy who she is while the FL has no clue even tho he also uses same name, shows how much love she has for him, even after being wronged, he still cares about FL, risks... more>> his life and gives majority of his cultivation and his spiritual roots also to save the FL despite not expecting anything from the FL, and even after so many years he still thinks about her, what FL does on the other hand when she reincarnates into this world, takes a beautiful boy as disciple because she wants to raise him as her husband, pe*ophilia first of all and 2nd of all disgusting af, chasing after Ds like that, and then she seems to be heartbroken about this for her whole life when her disciple "betrays" her while she got over the ML easily af, calls his name in sleep and so on, pretty much only cares about that young D, then there comes another ML ofc, bcs why would this have the tag of reverse harem, if this would, so should majority of Female MC Romance novels should have, another bs acting close af to the 3rd ML or whatever he is, gets drunk with someone else and gets on his lap with the ML in the same room while they pretty much were already close at that time because of certain circumstances to help the FL with her broken spiritual roots, and ML has to watch while the FL climbs onto that 3rd ML lap and gets drunk on it

so after all I said is up to you if you believe the FL is even a little bit worthy of the ML, she belongs to the streets and so does the author, some people don't deserve oxygen I swear, world would be a better place without these pieces of fk, makes me wanna vomit and makes me sick knowing that there are people that like this and people like author as well in this world, while I may overexaggerate with their right of breathing oxygen, at least if I could, I would for sure send them to another dimension all together, they wouldn't last long anyway so it will still be a death sentence but fk out of here, just ur mere existence makes me nauseous, obv I do understand she has no reason to care about the ML even if she knew since their relationship is over but still a hoe for her disgusting actions and disgusting also bcs the author dares to write an ML like this that even cares about this b*tch, maybe there may be some people like this in real life but I doubt so, people as good as ML, smart and yet so dumb when it comes to this, if u still care about someone like this FL then u are just dumb so u can't be that smart and also that dumb.. And is not even care, he still loves this dumb hoe like how?? <<less

First of all, that summary is not what happened in the story. Both of our main lead didn’t cheat, just a huge ass misunderstanding and miscommunication.

main character: both our main leads is really endearing characters. And their character development is amazing.

comedy: 100% funny story is abit of tragedy plot. I cry a few time. But still the funny scene follow that just make me forget about the sad part.

... more>> side characters: you will love most of the side characters. They all have their own development. It’s just that amazing.

plot: the plot is flawless to me. Though, they could have explain why our MC go to ML world.

the first half: is more funny and introduction part. While the second half: is when the plot thickens.

life lesson: I got many good messages in this story. Hopefully, I can apply that irl and have a good relationship with people around me.
my favorite part is when our MC say that she forgive her family but still chose to kill them. Just because she forgive them, doesn’t mean they are excused. She was just executing their crime according to 天道。 <<less
