Synopsis
Chu Li was a particle physicist until a freak accident took his life and transmigrated him to a parallel universe — one where he wakes up with inexplicable abilities and finds himself in the running for a job in the imperial palace.
This is a story of heroic adventures, cunning strategies and romantic tales. How will our MC thrive in a world completely strange to him? Where will his ambitions and abilities take him in the palace?

This is a little different from typical transmigration novels. When we are introduced to MC in the first few chapters, he is already OP with photographic memory, great sword skills and a clear mind skill that allows him to see through others’ muscles, bones and minute movements. He has a bodyguard job that seems a little low level given his prowess. He has encounters with several beautiful women, who are awed by him. Men jealous of him send him challenges to fail miserably. It’s an okay read, but I wanted to see more of MC’s will/ motivation. In essence, I am not convinced by what drives him to do as he does.
VOTE FOR FISH!!! MAKE THE OCEAN GREAT AGAIN WE DON'T NEED A CHIEF WE NEED DA FISH ITS TUPEA IS THE NEW WAVE ITS SO FRESH ITS LIKE IT WASHED WITH OCEAN TOOTH PASTE.
This novel is terrible, the main character is nothing but a boot-licker, who chases after women. He thinks he is manipulative but is nothing more than a dog. The novel is 90% of boring conversation. I am dropping this novel.
It's a novel about gardening, apparently MC can make plants grow faster. It is not exciting and is confusing at times. The synopsis needs to be edited so it shows something about the novel instead of him being a particle physicist which never even came up.
This is pure garbage. Traslation quality is garbage... Mc is garbage... Love interest is garbage... Everything is garbage! Don't bother with this...
So it's a story of particle physicist - a person who study interaction of particles, look like a scientist to me, wonders whether this will a cultivation story where a person uses scientific knowledge to solve his problems, since it's about particle it may be about Qi or its composition or whatever it is, though I think I will give this story a try since it is given in notes that the MC will a cunning person and I'm really looking forward.... **: Rating will change depending on the novel...
Review:- The novel's cultivation system has not been described in detail yet, so I'm not gonna talk about it right now. MC of this novel is cool, calm, likeable and doesn't put on any airs. He is ambitious but not reckless. He seems to be the kind of guy who always takes calculated risk and always keeps a few cards hidden so as to meet exigent cirumstances head on. He is also a decent guy, not like Fang Yuan, etc. He is a scholar before transmigration and after too. He doesn't get any fortuitous encounters or meet any great sage. He reads, understands and draws inferences from scriptures to develop his powers. Other characters in this novel are well etched out too except his rival who is annoying. Female characters don't fall for MC left, right and centre but they are not the kind who are malicious to plot against the MC for no reason either. Maybe such characters might show up in the novel later on, considering the novel is 3000+ chapters long. In other words, this novel has female characters who behave like people in 'real life'. Plot moves at a leisurely pace- which I believe is the reason it's not popular- but doesn't get repetitive, the author explores the various aspects of the world as the novel progresses. The fights are grounded in the current arc but it will get Xianxiaesque in future chapters I suppose. The world is based on feudal China with sects on end of the power balance and the Emperor on the other hand. Overlall this is a really good novel to read, if you are tired of other cliched novels on this site but I gotta warn you that it takes time to hit the spot. If you are looking for a good non-cliched- no arrogant young masters lining up on the death queue, no fortuitous enocunters growing on rooftops, etc- novel, you should probably give this one a try.
story would be so much better if the MC was not fawning over Zhao Ying. I mean. He should be old enough to not be such an idiot. Or at least to not be attracted to short sighted, vapid girls. I mean. She keeps looking down on him, thinks skills or martial arts are better than intelligience/knowledge. Even when he beats other people in combat she looks down on him. She is always following around his enemy, who is arrogant and like to bully and look down on others... I mean. Either she is not as good and kind as she appears to be, or she is to ****** minded to have any real character of her own with which to express opinions that do not line up with Zhuo Fei Yangs. Honestly, at no point in the story does her character come off as attractive or appealing. I cannot see an intelligient individual actively pursuing or even liking someone like that.

OK...so Chu Li is a transmigrated particle physicist who essentially becomes the plant whisperer. His cultivation technique seems to hinge on him communing with flora and he can speed up their growth and germinate seeds that nobody else can to revive amazingly helpful plants. Besides that, the cultivation is confusing to me. He seems to substitute plant power for internal strength and then gains internal strength or adds it ....I got lost. And presently, some chapters are repeated, out of order, and I think at least 1 chapter is missing. Any way, Chu Li's goals in life seem to be to get powerful, and hoard beautiful and talented women. He has his eyes on three at once, and given the way he reacts to women, It's only 3 because only three have been introduced. This looks to be a harem building, skirt chasing story with an op mc leveling up whenever convenient through reading some books or touching some plants or some other nebulous means. It's only been 21? (20? 19?) chapters, but unless you are a big harem fan or a botanist, I probably wouldn't recommend this .....but it's still early so maybe the next 20 chapters will be great.....and in order.

Qidian is changing the ratings of their novels so that they don't seem that bad (see thestatsguy comment). I don't mean to condemn their actions since they gotta earn money... But it doesn't feel right.
TOTAL disappointment! Disappointment due to time spent reading. In chapter 3452, the author got tired of writing: MC quickly killed the BIGEST enemy of all novel and in the next (final) chapter together with 3 wives, returned to the first plane of existence (out of 33) and HEA. WTF?! A bunch of storylines are not closed. What kind of tree and how is it related to the MC? What kind of animal spirit does he cultivate? Asura - we never know where it came from and what to do with it. Do you still remember the MC from the modern Earth? Forget it! It does not affect the MC. Except how to divert lightning, his knowledge is no longer useful. Often the MC is not consistent in his actions and applied skills. Do you know that in each plane of existence there can be different worlds and why the author writes about it and how it helps MC, etc. Out of the 33 plane of existence MC only reached the 5th. After the 3rd read novel was already boring and the author no longer knew where to develop the story and MC. In general, the concept of the work and the MC is fresh and different from other works, it was interesting to read the first half. Only for this 4 stars.
The story is not bad, but the translation is horrible. They even posted two chapters wrong. This is ridiculous......................................
Most inconsistent spelling I have ever seen. Zhao changes to Xhao within one paragraph. Xiao into Siao. Li into Lee. Goddammit, decide on the naming! It's really important in Chinese novels, because two names with the same romanised spelling can sound totally different, so if you can't even get one name correct how can you get more than one?
Read up to 10% of the 3,000+ chapters. The book officially ended 3 days ago on 12 July 2018 with a total of 3453 chapters. The first few 100s is about --- establishing his authority, becoming more stronger, having more connections and his personality changes to killing evil ppl with a smile once he breakes his own romantic route (nah the plot armour will fix it ;D). P.S. Zhao Ying is not female MC... He will end up with 3 wives. [ Xiao Si (the 3rd lady practising some art that she needed to cut off romantic emotions with the MC to raise her cultivation....), Lu Yurong??? (his enemy in terms of scheming from other govt also is 3rd lady in terms of her siblings), Sun Mingyue (not yet appeared) ] There will be many more techniques such as disguises, formations, teleportations, etc. He then will enter a sect, have disciples.... Cultivation: Houtian lvl (matches wandering martial artists), Xiantian lvl (matches sect disciples lvl at 100+chapters), Above Heavens lvl (天外天 matches top tier experts of lower realm at 200+ chapters) , Heavenly God lvl (天神 matches the emperor lvl at 1.5k+ chapters like rank 2 experts in higer planes)...

Just wanna balance the rating.......................................................................................................the end...............
The novel has 2 million recommendations with current weekly recommendation reaching 1000+, this signifies that there is a lot of interest among CN readers. So, I expect a lot from this novel ergo I'm rating 5 for expectation! Will review later.
This has to be one of the worst translations I've read to date, and I've read quite a lot. Couldn't make it past chapter 10, the choice of words alone is an atrocity to the English language. I think I'd rather rub my balls over a cheese grater than read ~3400 chapters of a novel with an intentionally ruined ending.
i want more chapter i love this story aloy so i want to read more. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3< 3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Great novel so far, Is a nice read, the main character is well design and i love his involvement with government, politics, money and cultivation, the world is well explained not to complicated, ****** but understandable , in esence the cultivation is different from the clasic novels and is really fresh and more when one get tired of the normal cultivation novels and the cliches.
Website : qidian china Views : 3.11million Rating : 9.4(656)(see note) Chapters : 3061 Status : ongoing Word count : 6.55million author level : great No of works : 3 Comments : 15930 Guys I checked qidian side but ratings in qidian changed for almost every novel, so I dunno if you should believe this rating. Also ratings on my other reviews are before ratings changed, so don't blame me if you see high ratings in qidian and low ratings in my stats. Even a novel with 7.6 rating got changed to 8.8 rating, I dunno what qidian is trying to do.
