This is by far one of the best manga I have ever read, and the only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because that honor is reserved for its amazingly epic source martial, a Chinese novel by the same name(which you should read if you love this manga).

It became my favorite romance story overnight. The roller-coaster plot and outstanding art are the cherry on top. Also known as MDZS, the comic/manhua version of the New York Times bestselling novels from China that also inspired an animated adaptation and the live-action series The Untamed! The mere mention of the Yiling Patriarch strikes fear in those who hear it, even though the man behind the title has been deceased for 13 years. It is said that, as a practitioner of demonic cultivation, he raised the dead to wage war against the great cultivation sects. The true name of the Yiling Patriarch is Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian, and he has returned from the dead, summoned into the body of a mad man! Wei WuXian is one of the best protagonists I've seen in anime and manga. He's such a diverse, funny, strong, flawed, scary and commanding character; he's perfect as our guide for this very, very complex story. Lan Zhan, the second protagonist, has incredible depth and it's impossible not to admire how much time was spent creating such an endearing badass that actually deserves all the praise he gets inside the story.

The demonic cultivation is mostly an afterthought. In fact 'cultivation' is outright not present at all, characters are Mary Sue from get go.

Experience this historical fantasy tale of two powerful men who find each other through life and death in this English version of the beautiful, full-color comic! All 260 chapters of stories are a romantic buildup with something that one would usually call 'filler episodes' taking up majority of the chapters. The story follows the life of one Wie Ying, a powerful and bright cultivator from the Jaing-ling sect. He's free-spirited and not afraid to cause chaos. But the story opens with his death and unwilling resurrection a few years later(If that doesn't have you curious I can assure you it only gets crazier). As for their relationship, it is my favorite romance in fiction. The love I witnessed here is unique. Not only is it very obviously adorable, but every gesture and every dialogue matters. Everything they do and say to each other, from the start, has a double meaning that you'll only being to understand after knowing their history. It's a relationship that has been planned with a lot of effort and care, continuously becoming more and more interesting and delightful to watch. I have never seen a slow-burn romance that hits as deeply as this one once all the pieces begin to fall into place.Mdzs has an official English translation by Seven Seas. There are physical copies and also e-book version. Experience this historical fantasy tale of two powerful men who find each other through life and death in this deluxe English version of the beautiful, full-color comic! This is the best Boy's Love manga I've read. Despite being a Chinese manga, and having to follow the strict censorship regulations of LGBT+ content that exist in China, the relationship of the two protagonists has been adapted clearly and beautifully, being as faithful as legally possible to the source novel. He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the sects—Lan WangJi, his archenemy. I give characters a 9/10 because while I'm impressed by the ones mentioned above, the remaining cast ranges from good to average. So far, there's no one else that has proven to be exceptional despite such a large cast of characters.
