Hi everyone, this is cele, the translator of this novel~ About the synopsis, it's translated from raws, so I'll be leaving the author's synopsis up. TL's synopsis will be here for now. Qingyun Zi was betrayed and murdered. Just when he thought that everything was over, he wakes up in a new body, the body of a silkpants named Ye Yuan. As he embarks on a new life, he struggles to cope with the loss of loved ones as well as accept his new identity. Unresigned to his fate, Ye Yuan resolves to make his way back to the top while hiding his identity from his old enemies as he plots his revenge. How did he revive? Will he be exposed and die with countless regrets? Was there a mastermind behind all this? With all these questions and more in his heart, Ye Yuan resolves to seek out answers as he uncovers a darker plot behind all this . . . This is a short spoiler free (I hope) review from me. While some people will be turned off by the genre, or because they read a few chapters of MTL, I'll just state maybe two major selling points for me which differentiates this novel from the other eastern fantasy novels out there. Firstly, as the title suggests, alchemy plays a major role in this novel. While many novels also have alchemy, the MC's life basically revolves around alchemy here, which is different from how alchemy is normally considered an auxiliary skill. The MC here views it as much more, which he also proves later on in the novel (multiple times). Rather than mindless fighting, I like a novel that touches more on the other aspects. Second, and I feel that this is by far the biggest selling point for me. THE MC IS NOT A HOMICIDAL MANIAC! He doesn't go like: "Hey you, you had a lewd face when looking at my wife no. 69, I'll kill your entire family and revive your ancestors to kill them as revenge. Then, I'll extinguish all karma threads tied to you, killing everyone that even remotely knows you!" AND THE BAD GUYS HERE ARE NORMAL!! They don't go around killing people for some stupid reason. They worry about repercussions from going overboard! These people weren't dropped on their heads as a baby like those arrogant mass murderers who will slaughter entire cities because someone looked at them funny. They are actually people that you can like! To me, it's like a breath of fresh air from those madmen in AST or MGA. Yeah, so, a good story is about delivery rather than the idea anyway. So don't skip it just because of its genre. I won't go any further in detail to prevent spoilers. Just drop me a message on webnovel discord if you have any questions. I'm online on discord often. *shameless 5-star reviews for myself.

Well I was reading all the review of other people and was kind of bias against this novel deciding I've read enough reincarnation/silk pant/loving parent type story. Then I read the translator's own comment and I've to say it caught my attention. I want villains who have reason to kill, I want MC who's main aspect is not his iron fist(F*cking terrible Netflix show btw). So translator I'll be reading this when it comes out. Don't disappoint me. Thinking of changing username (Suggestions?)

Fairly average novel, nothing really unique or outstanding about it so far. On top of that, I especially dislike the fact that the translators are soliciting 4-5 star reviews in exchange for additional chapters. It just seems dishonest and manipulative, and I don't really feel like supporting that kind of behaviour. Maybe in the future, if the novel starts to diverge from it's cliched and frankly quite boring story; and if the translators stop trying to manipulate the reviews, I will come back and increase my rating, but as it is at the moment I can't really endorse this novel. ** I would like to point out that I have no problem with translators asking people to give powerstones in exchange for extra chapters, as many other translators do so and in the end, if they are able to persuade anyone with this method then it's a testament as to how much people enjoy the story anyway, and is therefore not undeserved.

Everything is so vague and nondescript. The character development, the antogonist, MC's abilities everything. So, it makes it seem long and boring.

This novel is awesome.., but I wont read it. Why? Because nothing translated yet. Maybe one day in the future, but not today. Thats it.

this is junk food xian Xia trash to the limit I'd rather read an encyclopedia since I'd be learning something while getting bored to death not to mention the characters are one dimensional and the mc is unlikable and boring there is next to no plot, the number of badly done cliches are astounding. don't waste your time qidian is filled with these trashy novels the only reason i read this was because i was stupid enough to believe these fake ratings that are everywhere nowadays.
