   I was once a forbidden being from ancient times, treading upon countless gods and demons, my name forbidden to be uttered lightly; with a single thought, the heavens would pale in comparison. At that time, no one dared to mention my name, for my very existence was a supreme taboo. Yet, with my heart set on the common people, I relinquished my imperial throne, entered the cycle of reincarnation, and hid in the mortal world. Unexpectedly, my departure stirred the demons, and the ancient evils I had once suppressed seized the opportunity to rise again, instigating a cataclysmic upheaval that would unleash countless calamities. The world was thrown into disarray, mountains and rivers crumbled, and the ancient continent of China was reduced to ruins, sinking into eternal darkness. In this life, I awaken from the 749th chapter, gradually awakening, memories flooding back like a tide. The forbidden power within my bloodline is quietly reviving. When I cease my silence, the heavens and earth will tremble, and all things will rise and fall under my will. When I return, the gods and demons of old will once again grovel before the ground, trembling beneath those long-forgotten names—and I will let you once again experience the nightmare of being dominated by taboos.

    This book is really good. Both the male and female leads are strong, innocent, and intelligent. The female lead is a former police officer who became a detective; she can turn invisible and solves cases with the male lead. They have great chemistry, are both very skilled, and there's an occasional humor and sweet romance. The plot is unexpected and the story is quite engaging. It's just not finished yet. I really want to recommend this book.
