In both this lifetime and the last, Shi Mei's wontons were Mo Ran's favourite dish.

(page 90)

I'm salty. 

"Does he need someone to make him mad? He can even get mad at himself. The guy's probably made of wood - he catches fire at the slightest spark."

(page 268)

Mo Ran might be on to something here. 

Mo Ran stared. What was he going to do about this person's habit of throwing off his covers in his sleep?
So that he wouldn't be a dog,  the sixteen-year-old Emperor Taxian-Jun, with all his integrity and moral backbone, walked out. He would not go back on his word. He absolutely would not go back through that door again!
So, after awhile, the brilliant and powerful emperor vaulted into the room through the window instead.

(page 340)

I'm getting whiplash from crying, turning the page and immediately laughing.

Ah! Jiangui: What the Hell. The holy weapon "Ah! What the Hell?!"

(page 423)

I had completely forgotten he named his

holy weapon

this. It's giving "Suibian".

Ridiculous! It wasn't like wanting to bed someone was the same as liking them!

(page 432)

I love how tsundere they both are sometimes.

"What does he want with me?" Mo Ran laughed dryly. "I'm just some dumbass."
"I've never met a dumbass who could cultivate a core within one year, " Chu Wanning replied.

(page 440)

THE WAY THAT I BAWLED.

"Shi Mei, actually, I've always liked you. Do you...?"
A pair of bloodstained hands caught him as he fell into Shi Mei's arms. He didn't know if he was seeing things, but Shi Mei's thin eyebrows were drawn together as he slowly closed his eyes, and a glistening wetness seemed to slide slowly down that face. He seemed to hear Shi Mei softly whisper, "Me too."
Mo Ran's breath caught. He had to be seeing things. Why else would Shi Mei look so miserable as he answered?
"I also... like you."

(page 479)

HOW DARE THEY END VOLUME 1 HERE. 

Okay so this is a reread and I am possibly more emotionally devastated than I originally was. The Seven seas translation is so much better than the Google doc I had read before, danmei fans are eating good. 

Cry count: 6?

This is my first time reading such a story, and while not what I expected I definitely enjoyed turning each page. There are definitely adult themes in the story, it is maybe teenager friendly, but the story was otherwise engaging; rich in mythos, the story has the characters in a world that can easily confuse the reader if they are not somewhat familiar with the mythology. The romance itself seemed to fall a little flat, so I won't be grabbing the sequel, but that may be the norm for this series and simply doesn't jive with me.

Definitely an interesting and enjoyable read, I would recommend getting a physical copy of the book so you can enjoy the artwork within!

3.5

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. 😅

“And so the white cat knelt all night, never turning around.
And so the dumb dog stood all night, never once leaving.”

*whispering* Mo Ran, you idiot-

By the way, Chu Wanning is a bae. My new favorite martyr.

Oh, and the ending was freaking cruel. Anyway, thanks for the pain, I'm looking forward to the next volume.
