Mistakenly Saving the Villain (Novel) Vol. 2
DOES TIME REALLY HEAL ALL WOUNDS?After a near-fatal catastrophe, Song Qingshi awakens to find his home, the Medicine King's Valley, almost unrecognizable. But not to fear. His devoted companion, Yue Wuhuan, remains by his side, ready to guide him through the changes.
Yue Wuhuan seems transformed as well. There are rumors that he's become a ruined beauty and a madman, but he insists it's all an act. To Song Qingshi, he seems more stable than ever before. Yet when the volatile and injured An Long storms into the valley, Yue Wuhuan's carefully spun narrative begins to unravel. Soon, the two are at each other's throats again.
In a desperate bid to restore peace, Song Qingshi proposes a vacation together. But beneath the surface of this idyllic escape, Yue Wuhuan is still scheming--determined to eliminate anyone who dares sully his beloved "Zunzhu." And if An Long thinks he can stop him, he's about to learn just how far Yue Wuhuan will go for love.

4.8/5 🌟
This volume offers a perfect balance of cuteness, humor, and angst. It is a prime example of how seemingly "random" or "draggy" situations actually carry immense weight, as the narrative rewards you for paying attention to the small details. Everything—from the Golden Phoenix Manor massacre and Mo Yuan's cave of nightmares to a simple phoenix gem—eventually making sense.
In the previous volume, we focused on Wuhuan’s POV, seeing how his trauma shaped him into a "madman." In contrast, this volume reveals more of Qingshi’s heart and how his actions have shaped those around him.
“I don’t remember what happened then, but once I extracted the bug… I remembered what I felt just before dying. I wasn’t angry or bitter… I think I wanted to die, Wuhuan… Even if he didn’t think of me as a friend, I can’t lie to myself or let him go on pretending. I couldn’t give him what he wanted then, but… I could give him my life because it wasn’t important. No one would mourn me.” ｡°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°｡
I thoroughly loved the portrayal of Qingshi’s obliviousness. He is so sweet and delulu that I couldn't help but giggle!
🔹 He seriously thinks his "Angel" is a saint.
🔹 He believes he has to perform all these tasks to make Wuhuan stay, failing to see that Wuhuan is on the verge of losing his mask he puts on every day because he loves Qingshi so much.
🔹 He actually thinks he’s the "manly" and "dark" one of the pair!
🔹 He genuinely believes he can make Wuhuan and An Long be friends; when they pretend to play nice, he thinks his methods are working. It’s freakin' hilarious!
Yet, beneath that cuteness is a vulnerability that broke my heart. Seeing how depressed he has been his entire life was devastating. He does everything to keep his Angel close, never realizing his Angel never wants to leave.
Despite his severe social anxiety, Qingshi’s heart is so pure. He means well and cares for everyone, yet people fear him because of his reputation of being a "cold and evil" person.
This volume solidifies that irony in the silliest ways, but when I realized how utterly lonely Qingshi truly is, I cried my eyes out.

We can’t discuss this review without mentioning An Long. All thanks to Wuhuan who laid in the shadows like a tiger in waiting, we finally got a massive bombshell: An Long is a half-demon—specifically, the one Qingshi saved 800 years ago. An Long became so infatuated that he adjusted his entire personality and lifestyle just to stay by Qingshi’s side (very Hua Cheng-coded! ( ≧ᗜ≦) ).
After befriending Qingshi, he fell in love and confessed, only to... kill him? ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
Yes! You read that right! ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
Because Qingshi rejected him due to his "Heartless" cultivation, An Long’s demon side lost control. It wasn't malicious—it was a lash-out of pure emotional instability. If there had been true malice, Qingshi’s Underworld flames would have ignited. But in reality, Qingshi wanted to die. With each passing lonely day and with each lonely encounter in live, like a pool that filled drop by drop, so did his passivity to death became more like yearning.
“Sorry.” Yue Wuhuan gave in. He pulled the crying man into his arms. Song Qingshi’s guttural sobs pierced his very soul... “I shouldn’t have made you sad.”
“You did nothing wrong,” Song Qingshi said in a low voice. “The truth won’t go away just because I don’t want to see it.”
The most beautiful part I think is Wuhuan’s guilt. He isn't happy about failing to kill An Long in the first place, but felt victorious in telling Qingshi the truth; instead, after seeing Qingshi’s pain, it made his own victory of almost killing and getting rid of An Long feel absolutely meaningless.
He realizes An Long was Qingshi’s only friend.
Both An Long and Wuhuan are tormented by inner demons. An Long’s demons tell him he’s a freak and that Qingshi could never care for him. Wuhuan’s demons tell him he is "filthy" and urge him to defile the pure canvas that is Qingshi: the two really aren't that different.
I am so excited to see what happens next. I want An Long to find happiness; he made a mistake, but he means well. I also love that Qingshi is willing to do anything for his Angel—including seeking revenge and killing those who wronged him. He fully accepts Wuhuan’s darkness, proving he isn't as clueless as he seems.
PS: In other happy news... WE GOT A KISS! Things are so convoluted —Qingshi doesn't want to pressure Wuhuan due to his past trauma, and Wuhuan feels too "tainted" for Qingshi— but what seperated Wuhuan with An Long is that he's happy with not changing anything of Qingshi, including his feelings for him. 𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ՞𐦯

I’m really enjoying this story so far. I can’t wait for book three.

“Let’s do everything you like together. We’ll watch clouds, read, experiment, travel, play musioc, hang out… You’ll never be alone again.”
I had a mixed but ultimately positive experience with this installment. The opening chapters pulled me in right away with the same strange but compelling blend of cultivation and medical research that made the story stand out before. Song Qingshi continues to be a character who is incredibly easy to root for. His brilliance never overshadows his awkward sincerity, and his priorities stay focused on medicine, experiments, and protecting the people close to him. What I like most is how his kindness shows up in small moments instead of dramatic declarations. Yue Wuhuan balances him perfectly. He carries himself with patience and quiet devotion, presenting a calm and dutiful image while clearly hiding much deeper emotions beneath the surface. Their relationship has a constant tension that feels both tender and unsettling. Song Qingshi offers trust without hesitation, while Yue Wuhuan guards that trust with an intensity that can feel almost frightening. An Long also brings a lot of energy into the story with his sharp humor and explosive loyalty, constantly challenging Song Qingshi while throwing himself into danger whenever something feels wrong.
The middle portion was where my feelings became more complicated. A lot of events are technically unfolding, yet it sometimes feels like the story is standing still. The narrative spends time exploring daily routines, teaching, research, and the rebuilding of the medical sect, which gives the setting more depth but also slows the momentum quite a bit. I found myself slightly bored through parts of the middle. The timeskip also didn’t work for me. It interrupted the emotional flow and made certain developments feel distant when they probably should have carried more impact. Some parts also lean heavily into painful themes. There were moments that were honestly so sad that they broke my heart. The story does not shy away from trauma, obsession, and morally uncomfortable devotion, which adds emotional weight but can be difficult to read at times.
What really saved the experience for me was the ending. The last few chapters suddenly shift the entire pace of the book. After so much quiet buildup, the story delivers plot twist after plot twist that completely changes how certain moments and relationships are viewed. Hidden motives begin to surface, tensions sharpen, and the fragile calm surrounding the characters starts to crack. It made me realize how much groundwork the story had been laying earlier. I enjoyed the beginning, struggled a little through the middle, but the final chapters left me craving more and eager to see where the story goes next.

Despite the horrors revealed, I would have enjoyed this going in a toxic throuple direction. Alas, I DON’T think that’s going to happen? The throuple part. The toxic part is VERY much in play—literally, in so many ways. Poison, venom, disease, etc. They REALLY wanted to drive that point home. I got it.
Anyway.
All that is to say that if you enjoy your danmei as unhinged as it is *romantic*, let’s say, you’d probably like this series.
There’s like one character who’s a decent person in this series—and that’s largely because he lost his memory and our MMC transmigrated into this story through him. Everyone else is toeing the line between common decency and straight up psychopathy. Or, using it as a jump rope.
It’s fun—if you’re into to that.
If the first volume was all about healing and learning to feel safe again after experiencing trauma, this book is about traumatizing your enemies BACK—and looking HOT and ethereal while doing it.
Again, it’s a vibe. I don’t hate it. You might not hate it either~

I waited a while and great anticipation to read this volume after the brutal cliffhanger at the end of volume 1. I absolutely loved Volume 1! Could not wait to get volume two!
Volume two did not disappoint, the relationships continue to be amazing and the story interesting and the characters engaging. The problem is that the cliffhanger was so annoyingly offensive to me that I had to mark it down a star. They cut off a conversation in the middle! It doesn't feel like a stopping spot. I feel like someone hit pause on a movie to run to the bathroom and then decided that they weren't going to let you watch the rest anyways. I'm so annoyed!
Despite the fact that I'm annoyed about the cliffhanger and all that, it's still a book series I highly recommend. It's just really hard to recommend when it's not fully published yet... These kind of cliffhanger endings just torture the reader.
This particular volume had some very emotional deep revelations. I actually teared up a bit at the end, which is probably part of the reason why ending mid-conversation bothered me so much.
Now I feel like whining so I'm going to end my review here.

Song Qingshi is a gem. One of my favourite danmei characters of all time.
This had a perfect blend of actually serious characterisation and humanity, but also great humour in the way the characters' foibles interact. It made for a really light-hearted, cosy read, even though some of the backstories and worldbuilding are pretty dark. Yue Wuhuan has one of the most brutal histories I've read, and the story doesn't shy away from that, but somehow it also makes it all seem okay now that he's found Song Qingshi.
There's enough plot to keep the story moving, but it's heavily character focused and full of sweet and funny interactions between the two (maybe three) primary characters.
Absolutely can't wait for the third one to come out.

I am rarely moved by things.....
But i am moved by these characters' development. The essence of any good yandere is how great the dichotomy between the face they present to their chosen beloved and the face they show the rest of the world. Wuhuan's real face is PARTICULARLY vicious. But not as vicious as his mind.
This story is blessed by having TWO very good hunters after the ML's affection. Unfortunately, it's not really a contest. Wuhuan is an apex predator. A genius, his sharpest blade is his conniving mind and his indescribable PATIENCE. The webs he weaves and traps he sets are flawless. Our poor clueless baby never stood a chance. 🤦🏽♀️
These two are fascinating. But I want to make clear. Our ML is often oblivious, but he is neither docile NOR stupid. He can also be cruel. And he can also be scheming, even if he lacks guile.
I, truly, am eager for more of this story.

… where can I start? The stakes? The writing? Firstly, I didn’t say this in my first review but the art in this book is beautiful. The characters in this second volume start shining more for me, and it feels like a greater development. Qingshi has been asleep for 10 years, and now we as the reader try to catch up with what has happened along side him. It’s always a bit risky doing a big time skip, you have to justify it well and not use it as an excuse to develop character off screen; but I think the author has used its placement well. Wuhuan is interesting, and I genuinely like how he has developed; it feels like while he hasn’t gotten worse mentally, he has t improved either. His self loathing and severe dependence on Qingshi is still very present, even more so from the absence from the 10 years. The scientific developments are interesting to read, way more detailed than the first one (in my opinion). An Long, oh where do I begin… the reveal of him being half demon and it slowly building up, could’ve maybe done it a tiny bit better? It feel developed, yes, but something just feel off a bit. Honestly he was my favourite to read in volume two, his slow descent to madness shown through out. The kiss… I’m not sure how to feel about it, I feel like maybe it will be developed in volume 3 (which I am dying for the release) but it just feels… sudden? Which isn’t always bad, but I expected more reactions after the fact. This might be coming, I’ll keep my mind open until I’ve read volume 3. This volume also brought more action, exploration of the outside world and side characters that are sticking to me. The red dragon sect was a fun party to read, their characters feeling fresh when we had been shown mostly high ranking people in volume 1, and the characters they brought was unique. I loved Qingshi trying to find a way to be a better teacher for Wuhuan, and that whole side plot. This was honestly a fun read all round, maybe the story felt a bit undeveloped on certain areas and I felt certain arcs could’ve been spent longer exploring. Like the nightmare sequence, that felt very much rushed in my end: I would’ve liked seeing our characters trying more to figure out what’s happening. It being A Longs nightmare was a suprise, good way, and I think just giving it a bit more time would’ve let it settle better.

Relectura con la edición oficial en inglés
NO PUEDO CREER QUE DEJARAN CON ESE CLIFFHANGER AAAAH!!! jajaja tremendo, denme el vol 3 ahora!!!
Este vol tiene más acción y aventura que el anterior. Y mientras An Long y Yue Wuhuan tienen la batalla de sus vidas (entre ellos, entre sus emociones y otras cosas jajaja), Song Qingshi vive con la cabeza en las nubes y pensando en su little angel. Por lo menos en este vol usó un poco las neruonas y se dió cuenta de cositas.
Este vol tiene además unas ilustraciones tan hermosas, realmente este ship es belloxbello.
Me encantó todo, pero por sobre todo amé la escena en que Yue Wuhuan toca el isntrumento y el corazón de Song Qingshi da un saltito. Amo que ilustraran eso.
Algunas frases que me encantaron:
"He must've collected good karma from three lifetimes to meet such a sweet little angel! Yue Wuhuan was brilliant, beautiful, kind, cute, gentle, and considerate too."
"If Yue Wuhuan wanted to expand his horizons and improve his cultivation, they could travel the world together! He wanted to be Yue Wuhuan's teacher, his friends, his family..."
"Song Qingshi couldn't refuse his little angel. He has to say yes, no matter his own reservations..."
"If you want mountains and seas of death, then that's what I'll give you,"
"I won't let you cry [...] I'll go to festivals with you. We'll go shopping. We'll have adventures. Whatever sounds interesting, we'll do it. [...] Let's do everything you like together. We'll watch clouds, read, experiment, travel, play music, hang out... You'll never be alone again."
"Are you my friend, or something else?"

I don't think this volume met my expectations. I really thought the main conflict would be the character that Song failed to save. So I was surprised that this arc, for it's second half, was really them on vacation. Obviously, they face conflict witch forces them to face their emotions and fears. But I feel like there was a misopportunity here to be really angsty.
I know that the og character dose show up and it seems like the story is setting up for his role. But so far there's been little set ups for other characters. An Long being the prime example. The cliff hanger from book one leading his secret was ok, but it fell short and anti-climatic. Maybe it was rushed. It was a good plot twist, but it could have been developed more. It didn't helped that An Long was missing for the majority of the book. And Song was completely ok with it. Some friend he is. Despite Song wanting a friend, I was disappointed how he treated him. Now, An Long doesn't deserve Song, but it's hard to defend either one of them.
Song himself, I teared up when he expressed his loneliness and how his lack of social skills prevented him from forming friends. How happy he was when he finally found his first friend who understood him. And it kills me that he would give his freedom to Yue if it meant reassuring his mental state. Fortunately, Yue can't stand to see him hurt, that he is willing to give back to Song. It is no longer what Yue wants, but what Song wish he could have.
I am still interested in continuing to read, but I hope the last book cover all the loose plot points.
I know that the og character dose show up and it seems like the story is setting up for his role. But so far there's been little set ups for other characters. An Long being the prime example. The cliff hanger from book one leading his secret was ok, but it fell short and anti-climatic. Maybe it was rushed. It was a good plot twist, but it could have been developed more. It didn't helped that An Long was missing for the majority of the book. And Song was completely ok with it. Some friend he is. Despite Song wanting a friend, I was disappointed how he treated him. Now, An Long doesn't deserve Song, but it's hard to defend either one of them.
Song himself, I teared up when he expressed his loneliness and how his lack of social skills prevented him from forming friends. How happy he was when he finally found his first friend who understood him. And it kills me that he would give his freedom to Yue if it meant reassuring his mental state. Fortunately, Yue can't stand to see him hurt, that he is willing to give back to Song. It is no longer what Yue wants, but what Song wish he could have.
I am still interested in continuing to read, but I hope the last book cover all the loose plot points.

Before I get further: this series handles very dark topics and themes. Toxic and unbalanced relationships are 100% at play, but if you’ve read the first novel, you shouldn’t be surprised. Yue Wuhuan is dealing with severe PTSD from his time as a slave, which frequently shows up as OCD-like symptoms. This volume is the epitome of his condition getting worse before it gets better, as Song Qingshi is so determined to “heal” him that he neglects to look beyond the surface. More than that, Song Qingshi neglects his own needs in his desperate attempts to help Yue Wuhuan.
I’d say v2 picks up right after v1 does, except it’s been ten years. Ten years of Yue Wuhuan managing the Medicine King’s Valley by himself while Song Qingshi is in a healing coma. Song Qingshi’s focus is, and always has been Yue Wuhuan, but as he becomes more aware of just how hostile Yue Wuhuan is towards An Long, Song Qingshi’s best friend(?), he gets it in his head that the three of them need to go on a fun friendly bonding field trip. This would be fine except for the fact that An Long and Yue Wuhuan hate each other on more than a bone-deep level. But they go, the reason behind An Long’s obsession with Song Qingshi comes to light, Yue Wuhuan is barely coping, and Song Qingshi…
Song Qingshi has been cultivating a path of “emptiness,” where he has cut himself off from any and all emotion. Except that’s not how you heal. It’s interesting, having read this first while in school to be a counselor vs now, two years into my career. Ouch. I can see where everyone is coming from, and how they’re justifying themselves, except it just ends up with three men who are hurting both themselves and everybody around them.
The most difficult thing about this book is that the pace slows down significantly in the last third or so. I struggled to get through it, but holy CRAP does it pay off. Also the art. I understand that Song Qingshi is supposed to have a feminine appearance that he’s very insecure of, but his appearance is SO uncanny valley. Yue Wuhuan and NPCs look fine, and An Long is 💯, but Song Qingshi hurts to see.

Boys boys boys please. Can't we just work out our differences? I'd say share but Song Qingshi made his preference clear by the end of this novel. (Foolish, you have two hands. Can't you see the vision?) This book threw us right back into the story by catapulting us 10 years into the future. I thought that would bother me more to have such a large timeskip but it had a purpose. Song Qingshi has no idea what Yue Wuhuan has been up to all this time and therefore it is much more simple to fool him into thinking Yue Wuhuan has recovered mentally at all. However, we only touched the surface of that in this book. The majority of this book was spent finally confronting the elephant in the room: An Long's feelings and subsequently his backstory. Boy was it a doozie. This novel want from 0 to 100 real quick at the end with all of the revelations being thrown our way in the last few chapters. It was honestly heartbreaking to me because I really actually like An Long, but alas. Gong always gets his Shou and people rarely do poly. I do love my yandere Yue Wuhuan though. I find him utterly mad and charmingly so. I want much more of him in the next book. I want him more unhinged and wild. My final thought are just about Song Qingshi who likes to come off as pretty chill and easygoing but also so quick to murder and torture anybody who hurt Yue Wuhuan. Man are they perfect for each other. I can't wait for the next book after we left the story on a cliffhanger. June can't come soon enough.

An Long will be my undoing...
I absolutely loved the first volume in this series, so I couldn’t wait to read this latest installment. After devouring it, I have a lot of complicated feelings… I already liked An Long after the first Vol. This one made me like him a lot more, and it’s a problem. He has such a complex and stirring backstory that It’s impossible not to sympathize with him.
He could totally be the love interest if the story was written differently, but that spot’s already been taken… This does not bode well for his future.
In addition to this ominous foreshadowing, Yue Wuhuan’s tattered mental health is becoming painfully evident, at least to everyone except Song Qingshi. After all Wuhuan has been through, it is hard to see him unravelling again. On a side note, the more I read this series, the more Yue Wuhuan reminds me of Lou Binghe from SVSSS. They both dote on their teachers, cook delicious meals, and use their OP skills to crush administrative work. It is adorable.
I am looking forward to the next volume of this series with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. I have a feeling we are going to be in for some serious emotional damage before this is over.

This volume focuses a little less on world building and more on showing off the crazier aspects of An Long and Yue Wuhan as they both snarl over Song Qingshi. Qingshi doesn't just misunderstand their games ... he honestly doesn't understand. Personally, I think it's very clear that this character is neurodivergent coded with his lack of understanding social politenesses, his strong sense of jusice, his blunt way of speaking, and his hyper fixations. But he's not painted as helpless or childish, simply innocent of the darker parts of the world because he's never bothered to so much as glance in those directions.
The road trip has some charming moments, and the romance starts in the final chapters of this book when Qingshi realizes that such thing is a possibility between he and Wuhan. Honestly, this isn't my favorite installment of the series, but it's necessary as it sets up some important moments down the road. I still love it ... I just really regret 7S decided to break this relatively small story into four books.

Though I feel this volume ended in a strangely abrupt way, volume two really upheld the momentum of volume one.
Where volume one introduced us to the cast, volume two has really started to develop them fantastically, revealing further details about the protagonists and side characters that have added deeper layers to them as individuals.
An Long, especially, has developed in this volume. The way his story and character have been explored so far have revealed him to be a fantastic and complex character, even though I don't find him entirely likeable.
I also think Feng Yu Nie has done a good job approaching Yue Wuhuan's character. As a dark romance romantic lead I feel he stands out, the approach to addressing his traumas and darker nature have been handled with care and I'm glad to see that is something that followed from book one.
I am a little frustrated that I now have to wait for volume 3 to find out the results of that final chapter but I can be patient.

strangely enough, I didn't quite enjoy volume 2 as much as I enjoyed volume 1 - and I did like volume 1 a lot.
it doesn't help that the most interesting character for me was an long, the "antagonistic" hurdle for yue wuhuan and his relationship with song qingshi.
don't get me wrong - I think yue wuhuan and song qingshi are adorable. but they just didn't work for me here, even though they were very cute and sweet together.
again, the most interesting thing in this volume to me was an long and that really shouldn't be the case considering the other two are the main characters and have the most time on page.

oh wow i’m just loving this series too much…the way everything unfolded in those last two chapters i’m so moved…. also i love song qingshi’s unwavering belief that yue wuhuan has literally never done anything wrong in his life, they are so dear to me i’m very excited for the next volume :P
March 15, 2026
This one kept hitting me with the unexpected! But I enjoyed it. The characters are fun and I love them, even if a few of them are vaguely toxic (hahaha, ohhhh wellll~~~!!). I love a bit of overwhelming devotion.
March 19, 2026
honestly i was bored in the middle, but the pace started to picked up and I was hooked once again (ﾟοﾟ人))
We all know Yue Wuhuan is the 'winner' but boy oh boy my dear An Long nothing could ever make me hate you 🐛

So basically this is how you should handle a situationship with two mentally insane people at the same time when actually you want to kys because you can't reciprocate their feelings
