    Name: 护心 (Heart Protection) – 九鹭非香 (HE)

    Raw: 91baby.mama.cn/thread-1126315-1-1.html

    Description: by the same writer who wrote Seven unfortunate lifetimes
    “The most dangerous thing in the world is the human heart. It can kill an immortal life, and can harm a body that was unsusceptible to harm.”

    “Speak intelligibly.”

    “I was dismembered by my previous lover.”

    “…… So…… Why are you still alive?”

    “So that I could meet you.”
    This story begins with the female lead being expelled from her sect where she had been undergoing cultivation to become an immortal. She then meets the male lead, an ancient dragon demon, who is presently powerless as he was dismembered by his previous lover. The male lead and the female lead then embark on a journey where they attempt to retrieve all the male lead’s body parts and resolve the various mysteries that have been troubling the cultivation world.

    Unlike most of Jiu Lu Fei Xiang’s other novels, this novel is glaringly lacking in the hilarity factor. Whilst most of Jiu Lu Fei Xiang’s novels tend to adopt a more relaxed tone, this is noticeably missing from the book, probably due to the numerous mysteries surrounding the two main leads. Furthermore, the female lead has received rather divided opinions, as the readers have largely divided themselves into two extremes – those who intensely dislike the female lead, and those who love her. This can be largely accrued to the female lead’s character, as Yan Hui is someone who is only willing to expend effort to care for those whom she loves, and tends to be rather unwilling when standing up for the rights of those she’s unfamiliar with. As such, when Yan Hui meets the male lead, she continually refuses his request to help him in his quest to collect his body parts as the quest is an extremely dangerous one. That said, she does finally relent and the two start on their journey.

    The male lead, being an ancient dragon demon who has been betrayed by his loved ones, is rather guarded and wary of people at the start, and does not truly come clean with Yan Hui until much later. For most parts of the book, although the male lead cares for Yan Hui, he is not above manipulating her and trying to steer her to head in the direction he wants her to go. Although he is very cautious of people, he gradually lets down his guard when Yan Hui continually protects him on numerous occasions, frequently putting her life on the line for him despite it being of no benefit to her. That said, due to the male lead’s past relationship history and the female lead’s affections for her teacher, the romance in this book moves rather slowly when compared to Jiu Lu Fei Xiang’s other books.

    In short, this is a hit/miss book, depending on whether one likes the female lead or not, and is rather different when compared to Jiu Lu Fei Xiang’s other books.

    The premise seems really interesting! I don't think I've seen many novels with a female lead like this either. Cold and being sought for help, instead of the other way around? The dynamics should make for a good read. :)

    we got a lot of good novels in line here. Hope this gets translated too and soon. I like romance novels where the author takes the time to nurture the relationship between the MCs for the readers, and not just turn chummy quickly.

    Please leave it as pickup requested as I will gladly hand this over to any other translator. The language in this one can get flowery which is not my forte.

    @lalalyly I've been wanting to read the prologue you translated, but the Wattpad link doesn't work.
    Could you please reupload the prologue somewhere and link me to it? Thanks. :)
