    A treasure of a novel that kept me up until 3 AM, I absolutely have to recommend it to everyone!!! The protagonist, Lu Ding—known as Lu the Succubus—has no romantic pairings or ambiguous relationships, focusing entirely on his career! Born in the third circle of the Great Han Dynasty, he grew up in the Cloud Sea, rising from humble beginnings. Nineteen years of obscurity, then a meteoric rise. Every title he holds is earned through bloodshed—Respected by the Great Han: Corpse-Dissolving Grand Duke; Respected by the New City: Sin of Pride; Holder of the Special Merit Medal; Record-Breaking Expert of the Great Han Dynasty; Holder of the Gold Medal for Overcoming Adversity in Low-Level Battles; Ruthless Dark Horse of the New Generation; A Decisive Representative of the Young Generation; But most importantly, he is divinely appointed—the true "Son of Heaven." Lu Ding is decisive, rational, and intelligent, never hesitant to kill. Enemies hate his ruthlessness, but teammates feel incredibly safe with him. Even the supporting characters are well-developed and believable. The plot is thrilling, the characters are exceptional, and the scope is grand. Highly recommended!!!
