Synopsis

Top: Xu Qi is the gong! Strong x strong cultivation! Both are each other’s only partners, doting on and trying to kill each other.

Please, I’m begging you, read the blurb. In their past lives, the two leads were enemies through and through, locked in a murderous struggle so fierce they lost all sense of the world around them! The gong is reborn and does everything he can to ruin the shou, and later the shou turns the tables and does the same to him!

A sinister, underhanded villain gong and a decisive, battle-hardened, chosen-one male lead shou.

Between sworn enemies, there are schemes and murderous intent. They can’t stop getting tangled up with each other!

The legendary chosen one, the core of destiny across three thousand worlds, lives a tumultuous and colorful life. His strength is extraordinary: he challenges those above his level, turns the tables on his opponents, and ultimately becomes a god.

In their previous life, Xu Qi and Ling Yu schemed against and fought each other for hundreds of years, battling to the death, each determined to kill the other. They both thought the other was impossibly hard to kill, no matter what they tried!

In the end, Xu Qi lost by one move and died. But that was fine: he could set up a formation and start over!

If he couldn’t stay dead, then someone was bound to have a very bad time...

This time around, on the surface, Xu Qi always chooses Ling Yu, staying by his side no matter how close to death he comes!

“I want to protect Senior Brother.”

“I love Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother is the most important.”

In reality, he kicks him into lakes, feeds him demon poison... and strikes in secret... When you’re down, he makes sure you stay down!

Everything is still perfectly normal.

Until, after they accidentally discuss the origins of life a few times, their fighting takes on a different flavor...

Eventually, they start to get a taste for it.

Key points:

Leveling-up story! No secret crushes: the two gradually fall for each other as they spend time together!

They love and kill each other, taking turns trying to kill one another!

Some apparent plot holes are foreshadowing.

Looks good 💕. Xu Qi can say flirtatious things so easily. You two seem to have some misunderstanding about brotherhood. It feels like Xu Qi only sees Ling Yu as a fun toy. Will there be any real feelings growing out of this pretense?

Objectively speaking, this book is very well written, and it's been a long time since I've felt this eager to read on. The plot is very engaging, much better than I imagined from the synopsis. I just hope the author can maintain this momentum. I feel this book will definitely be a hit!

The couple on the opposing side is amazing! This novel initially tortures the uke (bottom) before the seme (top), without favoring either side. Those who say it's a uke-torture story probably didn't get to read the later parts [eye roll]. The seme's constant deception of the uke in the beginning made me furious; I felt the uke could never forgive the seme [eye roll][eye roll].

So far, it's very enjoyable. The plot keeps me constantly curious. The interactions between the young couple are handled very well; their feelings are subtly conveyed in every action and develop through their interactions. However, the synopsis and the first chapter subtly hint at their inevitable separation (currently I think it's separation, but betrayal is also possible, but based on the…

Oh my god, I was planning to save it until the author finished updating, but I couldn't resist and finished it! It's the same familiar formula and flavor, and I couldn't stop reading it! Because I read the previous book's male lead character design, I really liked the female lead's character design, and I really liked the male lead's character design too.

It's great! It's quite captivating, but I feel so sorry for Ling Yu being tortured like this. He's still completely unaware of what's going on. When will he finally discover Xiao Qi's true colors? I want them to honestly fall in love with each other for who they truly are. Xiao Qi hasn't forgotten her villainous nature and keeps tripping up her senior brother. OMG, how will the plot eventually unfold?! It's mind-bending; I'm eagerly awaiting the author's update.

This book is excellent in both plot and romance. The romance unfolds gradually and smoothly, without dragging, and everything is predictable. If you enjoy stories of pure hatred and love-hate relationships, this is a must-read! The writing is mature and nuanced, and the characters are well-developed and distinctive.

It's a story of a dominant character... But I genuinely wanted to see a "wife-chasing-after-the-wives-in-a-lifetime" scenario... 🐟'S character design is just too good!

The plot is captivating, and the characters are compelling. My only hope is that the ending won't turn into Xu begging for forgiveness after Ling learns the truth. I want to see a story where both characters love each other deeply, Ling still loves Xu even after learning the truth, and Xu, having confessed, is finally able to accept his feelings and be with Ling.

I really love this dual-strength dynamic; both Ah Qi and Ah Yu have their own unique characteristics. They're both quite dependent on each other, and as the story unfolds, their bond is revealed between the lines. At first, I didn't quite understand Ah Qi's deception of Ah Yu and his scheming, but the premise was really satisfying, especially Ah Qi's unknowing love and his messy manipulation of…
