    Wow, this is so satisfying to watch! The female lead treats the male lead like a dog. The most memorable line is, "Zhou Qing, you're really something, treating me like a dog." Seriously, the influence of one's family of origin is so profound; it's not something you can simply escape. Growing up, without realizing it, you become the very thing you hate most, unknowingly becoming a continuation of your parents' traits. Moreover, redeeming someone is incredibly difficult, not only for the redeemer but also for the redeemed. So I believe in sincerity, but I also believe sincerity is fickle. And for the redeemed, after witnessing harm, believing in sincerity again seems like a betrayal of themselves, handing someone the knife that will pierce their deepest wounds, because you never know how they will treat you.

    You think this is urban fantasy? No, this is a massive soap opera combining a "Demon Lord Training Plan" and a "Repentance Pill for Exes." The male lead, dumped when he's down on his luck, immediately signs a contract—no, a cooperation agreement—with the demon lord within him. He absorbs lifespans, imparts cultivation techniques, and woos various genuinely interested women, breaking through to new heights with each cultivation session. They say I'm greedy, wanting both beauty and the world—I laugh: I cultivate karma, who says I can't have it all?

    I just finished watching it after staying up all night, I cried and laughed so much, my eyes will be red and swollen tomorrow. It was so incredibly moving! The male lead is insecure but loves the female lead so much. Even though the female lead takes the initiative to approach the male lead in this rebirth, the male lead who died alone in his previous life was just so pitiful. [Crying][crying][crying][crying]
