War God Tian Juan is bored and wants to raise a celestial pet. She gets an enormous egg of unknown species from the Divine Beast Bureau, which hatches into a chubby little bird with a red crest and black feathers. In order to compete with his love rival, the little bird takes human form too early, leaving a long red feather on his head. He keeps cutting it short, only for it to grow back, and then cutting it again, which makes him terribly anxious. Strange cases keep cropping up, and all the signs point to the little bird being the incarnation of the Mirage Lord, who was supposedly destroyed. And the one who slew the Mirage Lord in the great battle was none other than Tian Juan herself.
(The former war goddess turned land goddess versus the former great demon, now incarnated as a puppy-dog boyfriend.)
Female fans of romantic pairings always hope their partner is their childhood sweetheart, a sudden influx of love, their lover, their ideal love interest, a fellow disciple, a nemesis, a spirit pet, or a master-servant relationship. If it were Li Juan, all of these could be fulfilled!
A jealous and scheming male lead meets an upright and kind female lead—OMG! The male lead is the one who falls from the sky, the childhood sweetheart, and even the nemesis. He's not just a love-struck fool; to kill the evil boss within the female lead, even if it might cost her her life, he doesn't hesitate. He cares for the world, but if she dies, he won't live either.
The female lead is adorable, and the male lead is great too; childhood sweethearts are so sweet! 321 Everyone begins to chant: "In the dead of night, why are you here, young lady? I've always loved lively gatherings, and hearing that you, sir, are spending the Mid-Autumn Festival alone here, I've come to keep you company. We're not related, young lady, perhaps this is inappropriate?
I originally wanted to read the novel after watching the anime, but I found that the novel is a million times better than the anime. The novel describes Juanjuan's feelings for Shao Weili in great detail, making the story more realistic, profound, and detailed than the anime. It allowed me to experience Juanjuan and Shao Weili's relationship more fully.
Can we get a second season of this anime? 😢😢
This is amazing! Although it was a little confusing at first, it was incredibly captivating once I kept watching. It felt like watching a fantasy drama, with vivid images popping into my head! Ahhhhhh, I feel like it would be fantastic if it were made into a TV series!
This guy is absolutely adorable! Compared to the anime, I realized the novel version shows his deep-seated feelings for Juanjuan. When he heard Juanjuan might know what happened to him later, his first thought was to apologize. But deep down, he felt the same disgust for the Mirage Demon as Juanjuan. He was afraid Juanjuan would abandon him, yet he was willing to die by Juanjuan's blade. I absolutely love this guy! 😆
The foreshadowing was handled very well, the clues were very clear, and there were no melodramatic misunderstandings or missed opportunities. Everyone settled scores and grudges. The story focuses on events, with relatively little romance. It feels like the male and female leads will soon become an open and honest married couple, except for the male lead's occasional self-destructive tendencies. I'd also like to see a side story about Jing Shun and Mo Li.
A very good story, and the anime adaptation is also excellent; highly recommended. The only drawback of the novel is that it's too short and feels a bit rushed. However, it's still a great story with distinct and memorable characters. I hope there will be a sequel! 🤓 And why is the rating so low? Everyone's giving it five stars! This book is so good, it could easily be published as a physical book, even though it's a bit short.
It's really good! It's volume 99, and the anime is called "Immortal Pets," which is also very good. Both the novel and the anime have their own merits. I especially like the male lead's character in the anime. When will season two come out? 😢
