The plot twists are surprising and outlandish (par for the course for a xianxia novel), infused with searing emotions related to gay romance.
It's basically a story of personal vendetta based on unfortunate misjudgment that a sect disciple takes up against his cultivation master whom he deems impossibly haughty and cruel.
The story does flip back and forth between a previous life and the present life. I find the ultra modern language a bit out of place with the ancient settings. However, the morally gray Mo Ran and the sorely misunderstood Chu Wanning are portrayed with exceptional brilliance.
Overall, it's a superbly entertaining read. I'm giving it 4.3 stars.
