Hello, I'm banoffee, the translator. This is a sneak peek at my ongoing series where I share the Chinese novels I'm reading with everyone. Feel free to take a look; there's no need to ask. Here's an exciting addition to Ji Mo Yao's collection of trashy emperor novels. What sets this apart from others:
1. **Non-Trash Protagonist**: Unlike typical trashy emperor stories, the main protagonist, Qiao Xuan, isn't a scoundrel. Instead, he's kind-hearted and self-sacrificing, similar to "Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin." The focus isn't on the abusive relationships, but rather Qiao Xuan learning from others' mistakes without forming lasting connections.
2. **Unique World Travel System**: The novel offers a logical explanation for Qiao Xuan's reincarnations within the same world's three realms, without relying on contrived systems or points. Each life's backstory is brief, taking up only one or two chapters, with the bulk of the story devoted to the main plot and character interactions. The author skillfully weaves together the reincarnation narrative.
3. **Humorous and Development**: Qiao Xuan starts off more comedic than cunning, but by the end, he develops his own formidable abilities.
Each life is presented out of chronological order with flashbacks:
- In his first life, as Rong Xuan, he was the emperor's loyal friend, set against a powerless ruler while being a sickly nobleman's grandson. The family was betrayed and destroyed, leading to his entry into the palace under a new identity.
- In his second life, Qing Xun, he served as the furnace for a devil sect master, Bai Cang, experiencing a stark contrast to his impoverished rural life.
- In his third life, Feng Xuan, he was a sect heir with a weak aptitude for cultivation, entangled in a tragic love story with a talented disciple.
- In his fourth life, born in a demon-ruled wasteland, he survived being sacrificed and ingratiated himself with a demon king.
- In his fifth life, Qiao Jiayu, a pampered young master, found love with a rescued stranger amidst family turmoil.
- In his sixth life, Huo Ping, he overthrew his captor and took on a life of rebellion, eventually adopting a ruthless persona.
- In his final life, Qin Mu, a martial artist from a merchant family, fought for justice during a declining empire, befriending a rogue cultivator along the way.
If you're looking for a fresh take on reincarnation stories with a touch of humor, this novel is worth checking out. ?
