[Dual male leads + younger man + equally matched leads + loyal puppy + growing-up romance]
Xun Xiang was the outstanding senior disciple every immortal sect wished it could import in bulk.
His smooth-sailing life took a sharp turn after he picked up Chu Guanlan, a little stray of a junior brother.
There was a time when Xun Xiang wanted to hold Chu Guanlan and jump off a cliff together to end it all.
Later, he drank herbal medicine, got himself back on track, and accepted his fate: he'd raise the kid.
After all his hard work, he finally raised the little stray into an adult.
Now, watching his junior brother cling to him and their brotherly bond clearly turning into something else, Xun Xiang was starting to lose it.
Xun Xiang before: This isn't right, is it? We're like father and son. It wouldn't be appropriate...
Xun Xiang after: Maybe we could date in secret? What's wrong with enjoying the shade beneath the tree I planted myself!
Xun Xiang then: What? The junior brother I picked up, raised, and started dating is the Demon Lord???
Now Xun Xiang was completely losing it.
Nobody told me this wasn't a dog, but a wolf!
Chu Guanlan: I miss my senior brother. He likes me so much and takes me everywhere, but he's a bit of an airhead and left me by the roadside. (Crossed out) You bastard! You abandoned me!!!
Xun Xiang finally learned that you shouldn't pick up dogs at random, and you definitely shouldn't abandon them! Abandoning a pet is a serious crime! And the same goes for wolves!
So far, the writing style seems quite good. The plot flows smoothly, and the pacing is excellent, without dragging. The only part that I found a little hard to accept was the rabbit ball arc (the whole city was just randomly thrown together). Otherwise, it was fine. The main characters are also well-defined and portrayed in a three-dimensional way.
The character design is so novel, it makes my homework spin! [KISS]
The story is a bittersweet blend of sweetness and heartbreak, thankfully ending happily. The language avoids excessive flowery words, instead using the most straightforward and refreshing language to depict the protagonists' experiences. The plot is not only well-paced but also perfectly rhythmic, never dragging, making it equally captivating – which is my favorite aspect.
It's a good watch; the characters are well-developed, and the story is quite engaging. Worth watching.
I've read two of the author's three books (why doesn't an author with such good writing have any followers?).
The plot is concise and to the point, the writing is excellent, and the characters are very well-developed.
It's so good! I hope the author becomes a huge star soon! 🥰
The character designs are quite good, and most importantly, everyone has mouths and they're mutually involved, plus the story length is just right.
The writing is smooth, the characters are well-developed, and the classic bickering couple is very appealing. It deserves five stars among Yangshizi's works.
It's incredibly enjoyable to write. The subject matter is also very fresh. The emotions between the two characters are very realistic and delicate, and the writing is excellent. Everyone should read it.
