This recovery is carried from Coolapk user named 残芯。
More features can be seen there.
Please use fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img instead of fastboot boot !!!!
Temporary boot is not supported is this device.
The link does not lead to anything useful but I was able to do my own googling using the username you provided and I did find some weibo page of a guy claiming to be a unofficial twrp creator for multiple phones. I dont speak chinese but google translate gave me enough info.
I also found a page by the same user with screenshots showing a legion pro 2
So this might be a legit twrp after all but I will let a braver soul try it out first.

In fact,the weibo link that you provide leads to a download-able zip file with a password.But,you must pay money to get the password.
I bought it.BUT I leak this file withont the writher's agreement.
That is why I created a all new account to post.
Ok. so i did
fastboot flash boot xxx.img
as it was written (probably, i used a translator) in the original post. It was successful but my phone wouldn't boot (no matter whether it was fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot reboot, the logo flashed and the phone went back to bootloader) so i later downloaded the ROM it had before, version 12.5.062 ST and extracted the boot.img from it, did fastboot flash boot boot.img and the whole thing booted up as it would normally and is fully functioning including wifi and fingerprint. i have the 18/512GB version so i guess it should be the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro
In the weibo post the guy suggested to quote "Use the (Stump or Residual) tool to brush into the boot section, and use the method to skip to twrp"
but i don't know what those thing mean
but i don't know what those thing mean
Did you boot into TWRP? You have to hold the volume down button and then power on the device. When the bootloader menu prompts, tap volume down or up and select recovery and see if it boots into TWRP. Also, I believe you can flash it to recovery instead of boot - try and post results.
There is no recovery partition and i could power it off only after unplugging the side usb port, if not, the logo would blink and the phone would go back to fastboot mode after selecting START / POWER OFF / REBOOT RECOVERY / REBOOT BOOTLOADER (all available options). After that i could not get it into anything other than bootloader or power off state. The post says to jump to twrp after flashing boot.img but as i said the phone didn't boot up to anything other than the bootloader, even after using a ton of key combinations. From fastboot mode it won't boot to recovery as there is no place for one, after flashing stock boot.img and using adb reboot recovery it shows the usual No command sleeping robot. Holding Volume Up or Down and Power keys didn't bring the usual options.
Maybe the secure boot prevents from booting anything other than bootloader after flashing non compatible boot.img
so i succefully rooted the phone by just flashing patched boot.img but while tinkering in fastboot, i switched the active slot from a to b and now my phone is stuck in EDL mode and i have no idea which firmware is compatible as i already tried flashing the cn, row and ee roms via QFIL and nothing worked.
Uh oh, do you know if it is a Duel 2 or Pro 2? Try the .188 firmware from lolinet and then flash it through QFIL with the instructions by Shadow27Jirka ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-how-to-solve-frimware-problem.4286635/ )
- Open QFIL
- Select Meta Build
- Select Programmer path as "prog_firehose_ddr.elf" from extracted ROM files
- Load Content.xml from ROM files ("contents.xml")
- Press Download
- Switch phone to Download mode (press and hold all volume and power buttons for a while and the plug a cable to side USB port)
- Download will start automatically and it´ll flash whole OS

It's Lenovo Legion 2 Pro. China Aliexpress version with global ROM flashed. I tried the .188 You mentioned but it returned the same result as before, when my phone was working and I was trying to change the ROM back to CN.
Try powering down the device fully by holding the power key for 30 seconds or both the volume up and power key for 30 seconds. When you plug it in, hold both volume keys and the power button and click download right away. Since you have the AliExpress version use .188 with QFIL. Make sure you have your com port selected.
Tried to power it off while having the usb cable connected to the side port, after around 15-16 seconds of holding POWER / POWER + VOLUME the COM port in Qfil blinks and is again displayed as QDLoader 9008. Then I tried with the phone unplugged and the results were the same. After that I just tried to get Partition Manager working but to no avail, the same as with normal .188 flash.

Nothing works. I tried different Qfil configurations and multiple CN Roms but this POS just won't budge. Damned Sahara error drives me crazy.
What version of QPST are you using? Have you used QFIL before? You may be missing libraries. Have you tried full power down and then hold both volume keys and power button followed by plugging it in (official way to flash)?
I was using the latest Qfilfrom the latest QPST package, don't remember the exact version, then Qfil 2.0.1.0 because it was used in the Z6 Pro guide and was mentioned on the CN forum. There was even a nice gif showing everything step-by-step. Done exactly that but the outcome was the same- Sahara error. Tomorrow I'm gonna try reinstall everything and do it once again and if it doesn't help, switch to linux and Windows 7.
I'm a nobb in those things and need to read more, but it can be that I unlocked the slot a bootloader, and then switched to slot b with it locked, so the bl may be preventing qfil from flashing
