    The classic formula of twin martial souls and class reversal is used, but the author has given it a fresh twist. After the protagonist's martial soul is deemed useless, he effortlessly wins over the peerless Pope, and his martial soul can even evolve infinitely. I especially love the thrilling and captivating premise of "the empress is meant to be pampered in front of a cheater."
