   I thought it would be a melodramatic soap opera, but the story turned out to be quite good. As a cultivation-themed novel, it was very enjoyable to read. Unfortunately, the ending seemed a bit rushed, but it's definitely a novel worth recommending.

   A traditional fantasy story with a vast world-building, it follows a young boy from a mountain village as he rises to godhood, step by step leading readers through a complete cultivation world. This heartwarming traditional cultivation story features battles, plot, and the bonds between master and disciple, fellow disciples, friends, and sect members. The protagonist, Li Mu, is a master of cultivation; as long as he doesn't die from the struggle, he'll keep struggling. No spirit stones? Earn them yourself. No pills? Refine them yourself. No talismans? Draw them yourself. No magic weapons? Make them yourself. No Daoist partner? Don't need one; a Daoist partner only hinders your sword-drawing speed. Li Mu falls flat on his face, hitting his head and dying instantly. He is reborn into the body of a ten-year-old boy, Li Ergou. Li Ergou's luck is even worse than Li Mu's; not only did he die unjustly, but he's also a child groom used to pay off debts. Li Mu doesn't want to marry the woman who abused the original owner, but can this young, thin body really escape? He can't take too many tonics, as they might damage his spiritual root; for example, Li Mu developed a mutated spiritual root. So what if he has a cheat code? There's no shortage of protagonists with powerful backers, but relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Li Mu is determined to make the most of the "Scroll King" title!
