In short, this drama is about a fool who gets tricked by an evil cultivator, believing the cultivator to be a system, and follows his instructions step by step. There's also a lovestruck, blinded man who wants to change the Heavenly Dao for the fool's sake, even wanting the fool to become the Heavenly Dao himself, causing the deaths of countless humans and demons.
It's all good, and it's also a strong female lead story, but I really can't stand Hu Hanshan 😅
Finished reading on May 28, 2024 (April 21st). In moments of extreme pain, memory loss can occur; this applies to both humans and demons. The author actually left many plot holes unfilled: It says her father was a human cultivator, her mother a Devouring Beast, and her maternal grandmother a Phoenix. The stories of her maternal grandfather and uncle are not mentioned.
Her life ended, her spirit vanished, leaving nothing behind – that was the final fate of that great demon. No one knew her name, only that she was a Devouring Beast, forever etched in the hearts of mortals in an unknown form. This reminds me of those unsung heroes; they, too, are great.
Overall, it's pretty good. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of novels without a romantic pairing, but this one is actually quite well-written, with a good level of pacing. The female lead, while disliking children, is fiercely protective of her own. Although she's lazy, she has her own integrity and strong moral compass.
A very good book, it solved my reading slump, but there are too few of them.
It's good, but it doesn't fill in the plot holes. It doesn't explain what happened to the parents or what the younger brother went through and how he appeared. If you don't have any objections, it's worth watching; it's quite good, and the plot flows smoothly.
It's pretty good, and the female lead is also great. I just really hate that arrogant idiot Xuan Zhuo, who gets completely fooled by a woman.
After watching it, I felt really sorry for the female lead. Her cousin's stupid mistake dragged down the entire family. Sigh.
I was a bit confused while reading the hidden content, but this great demon truly lived up to her title of priest, sacrificing herself for the Devouring Heaven Clan. The scene where she cries because of her lost brother is very well written; it reveals her inner conflict.
