This story was such a rollercoaster: to be mean to the girl you like, to draw lines in their childhood, to hold noble aspirations to give her the most innocent and unselfish love in their youth, and later to set his mind to trap her in marriage not letting her go. I would have dropped this novel a long time ago, if the ML and FL didn't fit each other so well: a concession from each other was made right away and in a timely manner. The angst in their relationship wasn't overly done.I found some comments on how Pei Chuan was too much of a douchebag, but I personally think he was totally justified. He just went through so much pain time and time again. It was key that Bei Yao was reborn, it prevented Pei Chuan from alienating himself from her and also she stopped her from being fooled by other males like Huo Xu. (I think it was ridiculous how he set insisted on pursuing Bei Yao and not some other beauty just to hide her lover... But other than that, the plot went right on track.) I didn't indulge in the extras and just skipped them through, but all in all this novel is not for the fainthearted. There's a lot of tragedy in the growth of Pei Chuan's life, and tears are unavoidable. Thanks to the rebirth of Bei Yao, we always have this angel to save the day. Go ahead and read it!
