    Did the system also bring the author over in order to inprove the story? (Lol :D)

    Or was there another reason?(like a lot of people were dissapointed and the system decided to teach him a lesson for his lazy writing?) (Poor author pffff :D)

    Nah, I think author was just plain brought over. Not sure if he does anything honestly (or I missed something reading MTL without looking at pinyin). Author's manner of death is hilarious though. He plugs in his electronics (his laptop I think) and dies by electrocution. XD

    Eh, was that what it meant? Was the way I read it weird then cause 向天打飞机 can also mean masturbating towards the sky since 打飞机 is slang for masturbating...I just thought it made sense since he's the author of a story with an MC who's got an entire harem.

    It probably is 'masturbating towards the sky.' I suck at Chinese slang and modern stuff lol. Mind if I change the footnote to add that? :D

    In the review form thingy at the bottom of the page, you need to click on the stars. Clicking the 4th star gives 4/5 star rating for example. You might need to 'submit' an empty review if the star isn't registering.

    Original!MC was sold by child traffickers to a rich family, but he was treated terribly by the young master in secret. So on the outside, it looked like he was raised lovingly, but in reality, he was abused.

    Thanks for the tip n yeah go ahead with the footnote. After reading the two chaps I realized that u r translation of it suits the story more since MC calls the author 飞机 sometimes

    Yup, you have it @winter-t . Our MC only knows what was written in the novel (AKA that Shen Qingqiu came from a wealthy family, etc.). He doesn't know the deeper history that was never mentioned until near the end of the novel when he goes through system repair for the memories. This novel is full of misunderstandings lol.

    How did the MC's disciples react when MC isn't outright bullying ML anymore?

    They all thought that 'Shen Qingqiu' got replaced or had gone crazy lol. In one of the ending extras (pretty sure it was in the extras), all the Peak Lords get together and have a meeting to discuss this. They speculate on whether it's really him or a case of substitution but have to conclude it's really him since there was this sword that works as an alarm or something for the sect. MC could pull it out with no problems. Funniest thing was probably all the Lords (except maybe poor Yue Qingyuan who liked the original) agreed that they liked this Shen Qingqiu better.

    All the disciples thought he'd gone crazy lolololol~ Except Ning Yingying; she's super sweet as you'll be able to tell later. She's the girl who switches from harem candidate to extreme fujoshi shipper. XD

    This novel is filled with misunderstandings and tricky subtleties lol. You'll fall inside traps a lot. Our MC only read the novel version and so that's the limit of what he knows -- AKA the idea that 'Shen Qingqiu betrayed and killed Yue Qingyuan.' An idea that is WAY wrong.

    YQY = Yue Qingyuan
    SQQ = Shen Qingqiu

    In reality, YQY was probably the only person who SQQ (the original) could tolerate. And YQY was probably the only person who could tolerate (and like) that scumbag SQQ. SQQ had a really tragic life (street kid adopted by nobility, noble family is actually super abusive, etc.). SQQ was shaped by the life he'd lived, though he wasn't a cupcake even without 'life sucks' tarring his personality. YQY and SQQ knew each other very early on and were good buddies in a manner of speaking.

    What happened was like this: Our original!ML is a master of deception among other talents. He captures original!Shen Qingqiu and tortures him. YQY manages to drop by somehow at one point to try for a rescue attempt, but original!SQQ refuses because he wants YQY to be let off the hook by ML. His wording makes it sound super harsh though, so sad puppy YQY leaves thinking even the person he likes hates him. ML tortures SQQ some more, chopping off his legs and sending it YQY to instigate him. YQY is super upset and angry of course; he charges into what is a suicide mission and is stuffed full of arrows like a pincushion (literally) by ML. SQQ is super upset when he learns from ML in next torture session that he used him (SQQ) to kill YQY. Even as he's getting cut into a human stick, he's still thinking that no matter what, YQY shouldn't have been the one to suffer... ;-;
