Synopsis

When Zheng Hao was three and a half, he saw his mother and elder sister murdered with his own eyes. His entire family was wiped out overnight. From then on, he swore he would never let something like that happen to him again, and never again watch someone close to him die. He trained desperately and did everything he could to grow stronger. But when he was thirteen, the old servant who had always stayed by his side, cared for him, and raised him like a grandfather was killed before his eyes by his enemies while protecting him.

His enemies grew more powerful by the day. To avenge his family, Zheng Hao traveled over countless mountains and rivers in search of the Five Elemental Spirits. At last, he became the strongest person on Honglu Continent, avenged his family, and passed the Divine Path selection to enter the Upper Realm.

Upon arriving in the Tianxuan Realm, his fellow disciples looked down on him and ostracized him for coming from the Lower Realm. His wife also drew the covetous attention of his senior fellow disciple, Zhang Zhen. To seize her for himself, Zhang Zhen resorted to every despicable trick, nearly killing Zheng Hao. His master, meanwhile, lost his physical body once more after another fellow disciple, the sect leader, coveted a treasure he possessed.

After finally escaping the sect, Zheng Hao had his cultivation crippled by Zhang Zhen and was killed at Baisha Ridge while trying to save his wife.

By a stroke of fate, the Five Elemental Spirits inside him fused with his Star Soul, bringing Zheng Hao back to life. Not only that, he also gained a brand-new Divine Mansion. Just as everything seemed to be turning for the better, killing his enemy brought down a catastrophe upon him, forcing him to relive the tragedy of losing everyone close to him...

(This is not a pure cultivation novel. It also has a romantic storyline, making it a xuanhuan romance. The writing is delicate, and the pacing is steady. There are no brainless fights or mindless power trips, so don’t read it if that’s not your thing.)

Cultivation, Male Protagonist Beloved by Everyone, All Routes, No CP, Plot-Focused With Delicately Written Emotions

I'd like to read something like "Male Lead, Stop Chasing Me. You Don't Like It When I Really Die". A male lead, focused on male-male romance, with a universally adored male protagonist and no female lead. No aloof protagonists, please. The plot should have a male-oriented feel, while the romance leans female-oriented. Angst is a plus. Keep spamming nonsense and I hope you have eight deformed babies in one pregnancy.

This is a great fantasy novel with delicate and vivid writing and genuine emotions. The protagonist's journey from an ignorant youth to a top-tier powerhouse is designed naturally and smoothly. His character development is also related to his experiences.

Excellent. The protagonist isn't the kind of mindless killer who kills without thinking; he's actually quite kind. The author's writing skills are unparalleled, and I believe the author is a good person in real life as well. Great job! 👍

To be honest, I originally came for the word count and high score, but I didn't expect to find such a good book. Even though my eyes were tired from reading it, I felt it was worth it. Excellent, with a fresh and intriguing concept, superb writing, and a unique perspective; it was definitely worth the effort I put in. I've been following this amazing little shrimp series.
