He murmured, "Three thousand, seven hundred and ninety-nine."
He had counted as he walked. That was the number of steps up to the main gate, the number of steps that Chu Wanning had climbed that day, carrying him on his back. He was certain that for as long as he lived, he would never forget Chu Wanning's hands, cold as ice, chafed raw and bloody.
(page 19)
Mo Ran 2.0 in full redemption era is peak character development.


In his last life, he had loved someone dearly. Later, that person had given up his life, and Mo Ran had fallen into hell.
In this life, there was someone who loved and protected him. Later, that person had given up his life, and brought Mo Ran back to the world of the living.
(page 21)
When the realization sets in. 

His first day out of seclusion, and Mo Ran hadn't made it back in time. Every single disciple of Sisheng Peak was here, including those whose names he didn't know and those he'd never even met. It was only him who was missing. But without him present, the banquet was incomplete. And all the stewed crab meatballs, sweet osmanthus lotus root, and fragrant pear blossom white wine in the world wouldn't make it complete. Chu Wanning closed his eyes.

I live for Chu Wanning's inner thoughts. He just wants to love and be loved. 

Everyone, down to the youngest disciples, the men and the women, those standing alone and those in groups, all of them were looking up at the glittering, resplendent night sky and reading aloud:
Disciple Mo Ran welcomes Shizun back from seclusion.
(page 95)
A welcome worthy of Hua Cheng. Mo Ran rizz.

Looking at the bleeding gash he'd inflicted, he asked once more, "Why didn't you dodge when I struck you earlier?"
Mo Ran fell still for a second, then dropped his thick curtain of lashes with a smile, answering once more: "You said that dreams that were too good to be true probably weren't." He paused, before continuing at a murmur: "I wanted to see if it would hurt. If it hurts, then it's not a dream. "
(page 108)
The way that they first reunite
at a hot spring
is perfect. 

"Shizun, I..."
He what? Before Mo Ran could say any more, Chu Wanning turned on his heel and took off running. Mo Ran was flabbergasted -- he was literally running. He'd never seen Chu Wanning fleeing like this, running away like whatever was behind him was gonna eat him alive and chew up his soul.
(page 109)
This is one of my favourite romance tropes haha

I didn't grab any quotes from
domestic farm
arc because I'm in love with all of it.

Ranwan also had a
cute sparring match, ate together and did other things together in an inn with only a thin wall separating them.


Mo Ran was determined to stop others from calling his shizun "ill-mannered" ever again. Thus he vowed to act even more egregiously than Chu Wanning did, even more over-the-top. It was a dumb plan, but it was the only one he could conceive of to protect his shizun.
(page 377)
Disrespecting Nangong Liu as he should. The way he didn't even notice that he was the only one sitting and not showing any courtesy was perfect.


In that moment, Mo Ran decided: no, Nangong Si was not going to marry Song Qiutong.
(page 389)
Mo Ran: MY SHIP WILL SET SAIL. phenomenal. I love how invested he is in
Nangong Si x Ye Wangxi
