This book made me feel all sorts of emotions in every chapter. Like there’s a chapter when I was laughing so much my stomach began to hurt but then in the following chapter, my heart felt like it has been ripped out of my chest by a bear claw and I was left shocked to my core. There are also instances when I felt so confused in one chapter that I just wanted to get to the end of the entire book series so that I will know what actually happened between the two characters.

I loved how this book kept me at the edge of my seat as I the story between the husky and his white cat shizun unfolds. Also, I’d like to commend the writing of this author. It’s so descriptive that I really felt like I was transported to the world of wuxia.

Still, there are themes in this book to look out for so please refer to the content warnings before reading this. It is still a good book, though and I can’t wait to read the next volume because the end chapter of this one left my gutted, out of breath and teary-eyed.

This book... Oh my god, wtf 😅😅😅

The MC is absolutely a terrible person and most of the characters aren't much better (except Shi Mei, bless him). I don't wanna give spoilers, but if you read through the content warnings, you're basically reading a list of the protagonist's misdeeds.

The main plot is that the MC is reborn and has the chance to redo his life, so I'm very curious to see if that's actually possible. Can he go in a better direction? If yes, does that erase his past crimes? How much can truly be forgiven?

I think I would enjoy this story more if the main relationships were more healthy. The plot and themes have kept me very invested, but oh my god, I don't know if I could ever recommend this book because a large part is romance, but it's sooo problematic. The title alone indicates a relationship between a student and teacher (a disciple and master/Shizun), and in this first book, there is such a huge age gap and it's honestly very yikes.

I honestly don't know what to rate this cuz it's awful but also really well-written and I couldn't look away??!? I think I'll give it a 3.5 for now, but that may change. 😅

Minus half a star because of the pacing, which feels for a western reader sometimes a little it sloggy, mostly because Chinese books are not following a 3 act structure. It's more like taking us on a journey meeting interesting people and seeing interesting places. The western reader then wonders "So what? , but it's all just part of the journey.
That said, I still read this 480 page book in just a couple of days and fell in love with the really well done characters, despite their cruelty.
Be warned: This book is sometimes really dark.
