Massacring his way to the top to become emperor of the cultivation world, Mo Ran’s cruel reign left him with little satisfaction. Now, upon suffering his greatest loss, he takes his own life... To his surprise, Mo Ran awakens in his own body at age sixteen, years before he ever began his bloody conquests. Now, as a novice disciple at the cultivation sect known as Sisheng Peak, Mo Ran has a second chance at life. This time, he vows that he will attain the gratification that eluded him in his last life: the overly righteous shall fall, and none will dare treat him like a dog ever again! His furious passion burns most fiercely for his shizun, Chu Wanning, the beautiful yet cold cultivation teacher who maintains a cat-like aloofness in his presence. Yet despite Mo Ran’s shameless pursuit of his own goals, he begins to question his previously held beliefs, and wonders if there could be more to his teacher–and his own feelings–than he ever realized.

Both are BL cultivation novels where the MC dies and gets reincarnated. In their second life they gradually realize that someone who they thought despised them was actually in love with them.

Both of these are tragic danmei. If you like one you are highly likely to enjoy the other. They are both well written and have happy endings, although the road to them has angst galore. They also have beautiful historical men.

Agreed, both of them are cultivation mangas. Both are also made by the same author which gives them some sort of connection.

The main similarity is that both novels are danmei and wuxia, and in both novels the main characters are soulmates, inseparable and have amazing chemistry. And in the novels the 2 main characters in each are very powerful, have a revenge subplot, a common enemy and show the stereotypes and rules set by the sects/world cannot always be considered right and what is considered wrong isn’t always wrong. Both also have one male lead who takes the ''wrong'' path -> Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by practising demonic cultivation and Wen Kexing from Faraway Wanders by becoming chief of the ghost valley.

Ultimate Scheming System (Novel)

Ultimate Scheming System (Novel)

I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
