Synopsis

(The work’s rating was unfairly suppressed, but that doesn’t matter anymore. Rate it yourselves. The main story is complete!) This is a story about following the Heartless Path among the crabapple blossoms and becoming a beacon of righteousness.

Two male leads, both are each other's first, primarily follows the bottom (the original novel’s bottom, Liu Jiqian, later takes the top role)

The romance moves incredibly slowly! A long, gentle trickle! (They don’t hold hands until around chapter 100!)

There are other side couples! Career-focused! Ensemble cast!

(Leave your brain at the door! I wrote this without a framework, just letting my imagination run wild! The logic is all over the place, so I’m happy if I can manage to patch it up. Anyone who gives me a low rating for shaky logic is going to make me throw a little tantrum and die of anger.)

Because of the readers’ collective wishes, Lu Wensheng transmigrates into a flowery novel about Liu Jiqian, a luminous, otherworldly immortal who is dragged from his pedestal and humiliated by everyone in the name of love. His mission is to save the immortal-like bottom from his tragic fate and give him the happy ending the readers wish for.

The first step is to clear out a safe space for him. Lu Wensheng is ready to sharpen his blade and go after the scumbag top.

(Lu Wensheng isn’t irresistible to everyone, but some people will develop one-sided feelings for him. He won’t spend all his time orbiting the top!)

(The “original story’s” top characters mostly have messed-up values. That doesn’t reflect the author’s own views. There’s a mountain of author-created details, so inconsistencies are perfectly normal.)

The author isn’t very skilled. Please bear with me if I don’t handle the subject matter well.

Workaholic ray of sunshine with maxed-out charm Lu Wensheng as the bottom X gentle, secretly calculating true white moonlight Liu Jiqian as the top

You don’t have to look up to Lu Wensheng. He’ll stand where you can see him.

He’ll point his sword at an enemy’s throat, forcing them to look up at him. He’ll stand among the lowly, letting all living beings glimpse the springtime light.

I really like the plot and the main character's design. Let's start with the character design: The protagonist's character isn't a fixed persona. It feels strange, both ruthless and rational, yet also slightly humorous and ordinary; simply put, he's an ordinary person, yet unlike an ordinary person. He shines, but it's not just him shining; many people are shining.

Hahaha, this is so funny! The plot isn't just about redemption; it's so satisfying when Lu Wensheng punishes the bad guys! And then another character transmigrates in and collaborates with Lu Wensheng, refining elixirs and writing a story about a domineering sect leader falling in love with me. Hahahaha, so hilarious! 😆😆😆

I really liked it! The protagonist's focus on cultivating immortality and completing his missions was incredibly charismatic. However, Liu's description was a bit too brief, making her presence weak. I hope the author doesn't overshadow Xiao Lu's character later on! If Xiao Lu is portrayed as feminine because of a romance, I'll die!!! 🥺

Wow, this is amazing! The characters are all very well-developed, and their interactions are hilarious. The main character has great morals and a sharp tongue—he's practically my go-to sparring partner! I especially love watching LuLu's decisive and efficient enforcement of the rules as the head of the Discipline Hall—it's so satisfying! Plus, LuLu is a bit stubborn and has the ambition to become a strong person! Keep it up, author!!! 😘😘😘😘 💕💕💕😳😳

Lu Wensheng is the sun, generously sharing his warmth, yet his intense heat obliterates all filth. While others bow and kneel in worship, he stands high, calling upon you to raise your head, "Come, stand up, follow me." He won't grovel or become a sycophant because of a mission of redemption, unlike other writers.

The author writes so well! In other novels of this type I've read before, the love between the male lead and the female lead felt so strange. They'd suddenly find the female lead beautiful and unique and start liking her out of nowhere. And the romance would progress so quickly, the plots all felt so formulaic, and the character designs were the same. But in this novel, the romance is so delicate.

This book really gave me a great feeling! In this dual-male protagonist story, the transmigrator doesn't just inherit the original owner's cultivation through a system. He progresses step by step, his strength is evident. He doesn't give off a weak or unstable vibe. The plot no longer revolves solely around romance; it incorporates a lot of national sentiment, friendship, and family affection.

I like that it breaks away from most of the clichéd plots; the main character is well-developed and very decisive, and the storyline is also novel. 💕

It's a great read with some really funny parts. The main character is so dedicated and never forgets his mission. And seeing all those weird and wonderful pills that Sister Yan sells in chapter 37 was absolutely hilarious!

I highly recommend this book. The writing is a bit rough in the first dozen or so chapters, but it gets much better later on. The author's writing is excellent, and I learned a lot about culture while reading it, unlike other books that use awkward language to express emotions.
