tian guan ci fu isn’t just a love story.
it’s a story about friendship, camaraderie, redemption, hope, despair, betrayal, revenge, and change.
all of the characters are important in their own right and each plays a very important part in the story, and each brings something different. i love every one of them.
it has one of the most interesting fallen heroes I’ve ever read. black water arc also has to be the best revenge plot ever.
♡♡♡
“Wishing everything goes smoothly for Your Highness down below, may heaven officials give their blessings.” “No paths are bound!” Xie Lian replied.
“But, although brave, it’s foolish.”
“Yeah,” Xie Lian agreed.
Hua Cheng continued, “Although foolish, it’s brave.”
“I have no answer to the question you asked. However, if you don’t know the meaning of your life, then make me that meaning, and use me as your reason to live.”
“To me, the one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is you, and not the state of you.”
“San Lang…”
All of a sudden, he was embraced tightly by Hua Cheng. There was a tremble in his voice as the Supreme Ghost King whispered, “I lied. Don’t leave me.”
Hua Cheng said woefully, “Gege, although I’m happy you’re so happy, but, is it really that funny?”
Xie Lian hugged his belly. “Of course! Only after having met you did I rediscover that it’s such a simple thing to be happy, hahaha…”
“I, AM OVER EIGHT HUNDRED. OLDER THAN ALL OF YOU COMBINED. I’VE CROSSED MORE BRIDGES THAN ALL THE ROADS YOU’VE WALKED.
“I, POSSESS SHRINES AND TEMPLES ACROSS THIS LAND; MY DEVOTEES AND WORSHIPPERS ARE SPREAD TO ALL FOUR SEAS. IF YOU DON’T KNOW MY NAME, IT’S BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORANT AND UNLEARNED OF THE WORLD!
“I, DO NOT WORSHIP GODS.
“I, AM GOD!”
“Xie Lian soothed, “You’ve always been the strongest. But, you don’t need to be strong every waking moment of every day. Just…think of this as giving me some face, and let me protect you this once. Please? Okay?”
“Hua Cheng said softly, “I might not be able to decide whether the road is easy or not, but whether I walk it is entirely up to me.”
Hua Cheng reached out and lifted Xie Lian’s chin. “His temper is certainly nice, but my temper is bad. No one shall touch what I love except for me.”
After having touched foreheads for so long, Xie Lian felt it to be a bit numb, and a bit itchy even, his front uncomfortably warm. He wanted to raise his hand to rub at it, but his limbs couldn’t move. Hua Cheng seemed to have detected his little discomfort and raised his hand to help him rub like it was the most natural thing to do in the world before dropping his hand.
“Remember that if anything should happen, I’m here. I will always be on your side.”
Xie Lian stared at him, stunned and speechless. A moment later, a small smile appeared on his face.
Hua Cheng comforted, “You don’t need to be so hard on yourself. Without fear, there is no courage.”
It was a good while before Xie Lian felt the person he was hugging turn around, returning the hold, engulfing him in a tight embrace.
He heard Hua Cheng’s staggering voice coming from above. “...Your Highness. You really…will be the death of me.”
“If you remain forcibly, you won’t be able to rest in peace,” Xie Lian said.
The nameless ghost didn’t seem to care. “I pray to never rest in peace.”
However, the nameless ghost declared, “To die in battle for you is my greatest honour.”
That white-clothed man said coldly, “I’m not the Royal Highness.”
However, that black-clad youth replied, “You are. I will never forget your voice and your form.”
“I SAID FUCK YOU!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, TO DARE TALK TO ME LIKE THIS?? I AM THE CROWN PRINCE!!!”
Upon his face, two lines of tears were already streaming down from his eyes.
One person. Just one.
Really.
Just one person was enough!
As he walked down the path, Xie Lian suddenly noticed there was a tiny, little red flower on the side of the road, quite precious. He crouched down, gently touching its petals, feeling quite cheerful.
He said to it, “I hope we shall meet again.”
Even after he had gone into the distance, that tiny, little red flower was still dancing in the wind.
Hua Cheng said next to his ear assuredly, “It won’t, you just focus on running! Don’t ever be afraid, I’m right here beside you!”
He looked back and Hua Cheng grasped his shoulders.
“Let everything go and fight! Don’t worry, none of them are your match. There is nothing in this world that can stop you in your step!”
Before Hua Cheng responded, without another word, Xie Lian’s body moved before his mind. He jumped up and hugged Hua Cheng around the neck before he pulled himself close emphatically. This time, he wholly kissed the place Hua Cheng wanted him to kiss.
Xie Lian exchanged a look with Jun Wu. He replied, “San Lang, I haven’t even left for two hours.”
However, Hua Cheng said, “To me, the point is ‘you left’, not ‘only two hours’. Even for an instant, it’s still separation.”
Hua Cheng twirled that headscarf leisurely and sighed. “Gege, my dear gege, this time, wanting to see you is as hard as ascending to the heavens.”
The higher one stood, the harder one fell.
Guoshi puffed a breath and sighed. “Don’t be afraid, Your Highness, I wasn’t going to lecture you on anything. I won’t guide you on something I myself am not an expert in. Besides, you’ve already come through after so much, what’s there left to worry about? Men or women, it doesn’t matter, as long as you yourself are happy.”
Xie Lian rubbed his forehead so much it was very red, and he said in a small voice, “En…I’m very happy.”
“Ol’ Feng, let’s talk, take us flying when you’ve got the time sometimes, hey!”
Seeing all this, “Hua Cheng” humphed softly, turning around to leave. Shi Qingxuan was still gripping the Wind Master fan, answering the others’ jokes absentmindedly, the colours on his face going red and white, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He looked up, seeming wanting to question, but the person was already long gone. (๑´╹‸╹`๑) (my bflf heart is broken)
Xie Lian then stretched his hand lower. “Come.”
Mu Qing finally took hold of his hand.
Hua Cheng said quietly, “Your Highness, I understand your everything.
“Your courage, your despair; your kindness, your pain; your resentment, your hate; your intelligence, your foolishness.
“If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you take apart after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. But, I know you wouldn’t allow it.”
However, Hua Cheng replied, “There is no banquet in this world that doesn’t come to an end.”
Xie Lian bowed his head and buried it deep into his chest, his heart and throat in constricted agony, unable to speak.
Yet soon after, he heard Hua Cheng say above him, “But, I will never leave you.”
Hearing this, Xie Lian’s head shot up.
Hua Cheng said to him, “I will come back. Your Highness, believe me.”
Robes redder than maple, skin as white as snow
Last time, they spent eight hundred years running towards each other.
This time, it only took an instant to fall into each other’s embrace.
Although it was soundless, Xie Lian still knew exactly what he had said.
It was the words Hua Cheng had lived by since he was a child, and eternally thereafter beyond his death.
“I am forever your most devoted believer.”

"Nan Feng gave his personal evaluation: "Weirdos."
Capisco perché piace. Capisco perché ne parlano come un libro bellissimo da leggere assolutamente, voglio che sia chiaro.
Però non mi ha colpito, in me non c'era la benchè minima voglia o curiosità di continuarlo ed infatti me lo sono trascinato appresso per un infinità di giorni. Lo riprendevo solo perché mi ricordavo di averlo in lettura.
♠ Non è nelle mie corde. Nulla, o poco, di questa storia mi è piaciuto davvero. Non mi è piaciuto Xie Lian, l'ho trovato un personaggio noioso, patetico e scialbo. Un Dio che continua a ripetere che vuole aiutare le persone comuni ma che non fa mai attivamente nulla e che si fa calpestare da chiunque. E quando finalmente sembra venirmi mostrato un lato interessante del suo personaggio (intorno a pagina 400 e al capitolo 45), finalmente sembra che ci sia un lato violento e vendicativo in lui, il tutto si conclude con un cliff-hanger da shoujo manga dove: tempo cinque pagine scopriamo che invece è stato tutto un fraintendimento, uno scambio di persona e lui in realtà voleva solo aiutare ed è buono. Da far schifo fino alla fine. Quando vediamo il passato ci rendiamo conto che la maggior parte degli eventi brutti sono accaduti anche perchè lui non ha mai fatto nulla per provare ad evitarli.
♠ Non mi è piaciuto Hua Cheng che sopratutto all'inizio viene descritto da tutti come una calamità potente e malvagia che fa cose orribili e senza morale ma poi non lo vediamo mai fare nulla che sia nemmeno lontanamente brutto. Anzi, più lo conosciamo più scopriamo che è solo un malato d'amore ossessionato da Xie Lian. E questa è la sua personalità, Xie Lian. Lui gli ha salvato la vita 800 anni fa e da allora lui ne è ossessionato. Tutto ciò che fa o dice è in funzione di Xie Lian. Non ha alcun interesse o compassione per nessuno che non sia Xie Lian e non si capisce perché questa cosa all'altro vada bene. Capisco che doveva essere un personaggio moralmente grigio ma non lo è, non c'è niente di grigio in lui ma nemmeno di nero, lui è bianco proprio come Xie Lian. Solo che, come se non bastasse, è una Mary Sue. Ha poteri inimmaginabili, è bellissimo, è fortissimo e può fare e disfare qualsiasi cosa senza spiegazioni.
E nessuno dei due avrà mai un pensiero critico o approfondito su se stesso, l'autrice non si concentrerà mai su questi tratti e lascerà passare tutto, l'unica cosa che tenterà di fare sarà cercare di impietosire il lettore raccontandogli quanto l'infanzia di Hua Cheng sia stata triste e brutta come a tentare di giustificarlo.
♠ Cosa mi è abbastanza piaciuto? I personaggi secondari che a quanto pare sono piaciuti solo a me perché l'autrice li tiene in gioco per qualche tempo per poi dimenticarseli ciclicamente facendoli sparire per innumerevoli capitoli e poi farli ricomparire per non fargli fare nulla di utile. Qi Rong che doveva essere un fantasma cannibale pericolosissimo viene ridotto a sottotrama comica che appare ogni tanto per fare la figura ridicola e poi sparire. Feng Xin e Ming Qi dovevano essere gli alleati di Xie Lian ma appena ci viene detta la loro backstory spariscono per un ottantina di capitoli. Il Maestro del Vento che era il Dio più interessante sparisce quando la sua storyline è ancora aperta.
Tutto questo per concentrarci sulla storiella d'amore perchè la trama non c'è. È un susseguirsi di episodi tutti uguali dove appare il mostro di turno, Xie Lian e i suoi intervengono e poi tutto torna come prima e questi episodi non hanno alcun legame con la trama lineare e non danno alcun contributo. Poi fortunatamente le parti 4 e 5 si sollevano un po' ma ormai ero talmente tanto scazzata che non mi interessava più.

tears flowing down my face... hualian my beloved i would fawking die for you.
this is probably the longest book i've read, not sure if it's longer or equivalent to jwqs, but man. MAN. i did not want this to end. you know how once the main couple get together, your inner bitter singleness inadvertently comes out and you start losing interest? didn't happen here. hua cheng is the biggest simp on earth and xie lian is just my poor little meow meow. his unluckiness rivals my own. maybe i projected a little, but seeing their love progress and things coming to light one by one (at the best pacing i've read in danmei, i might add) was a complete joy. i spent 4 days doing nothing but reading this book and i don't regret a single second.
i see why people say this is their fav mxtx book

What a ride! And a satisfying one that is. Mo Xiang Tong Xiu has just become one of my favorite authors!
HOB is an incredible tale, spanning over more than 800 years. It is filled with complex characters with flaws, mistakes, shattered dreams and abandoned friendships. Eventhough it's more than 2000 pages, I didn't have one bored moment. Every chapter is packed with tension, mystery, and sometimes comedy, too.
I love how the characters are flawed, but still likable, and many even managed to redeem themselves in the end. This is a tale of perseverance, hope, redemption, and true love.
“To me, the one standing in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is 'you' and not the state of you.”
