Seven years ago, at Wuzhang Plain, the greatest under heaven, Li Changgeng, wielded a sword alone to slay demons and vanquish monsters.
Seven years later, at the Riverside Inn, the down-and-out Daoist Zhou You leans on the railing with a bowl of wine, listening to thunder and watching the rain.
With him or without him, this is the world...
A fox who has taken human form learns to wait tables and eat meat soup;
Rising talents venture into the jianghu, covered in wounds;
Demons plot and turn the world upside down;
Cultivators compete for fame, hoping to be remembered through the ages;
The world’s troubles are endless. The winds and clouds shift, the world turns upside down, yet everything remains as it was;
Three years of life remain, while his cultivation still has six tenths to spare;
He asks, “May I simply watch from the sidelines?” The jianghu gives no answer. He has no choice.
But he has been to the very summit. It wasn’t worth it.
Oh, me? I’m really not the greatest under heaven...
(Slow-paced. The two main characters are not a couple; the ensemble cast each lives their own life.)
Not bad. The writing is quite good, and although the plot is relatively bland, it's still engaging enough to keep you reading. Why does the protagonist insist on pretending? It's clearly a very dangerous situation. There's someone who might have been a lover, a close junior brother, other acquaintances, and ordinary people involved in this event.
It's well-written and makes you want to keep reading. Not bad, it has flavor.
The story becomes much more engaging starting from the Linglong Tower, giving the feeling of a sudden intellectual awakening. The Erniu floor, in particular, has a nonsensical comedic feel.
Excellent, a rare gem of a book. Damn it, you've killed my radish head!
What a pity for those two little monsters
It's very well written, but it's been on hiatus for two months 😢 Author, keep up the good work! 💕
Super beautiful, highly recommended
The author seems a bit laid-back, so I'll give it five stars to show my support.
Why are good books not being read?
It's great! I love the main character's personality, and the plot is fresh and original.
