The protagonist possesses both living and demonic forms. At the start, he obtains two unknown demonic objects—a parchment and a quill pen—which can be used to sacrifice lifespan to obtain answers.

But when it saw its Host looking like a delicate, weak beauty, it relaxed. Until... For its first mission, it had to win the emperor's favor. 18888 was very pleased with itself for snagging a palace-intrigue template. This would be a piece of cake.

    This is the most powerful female protagonist I've ever encountered; she's practically a witch, and indeed she is. The author initially envisioned her as a demon as well. But seeing her series of actions, she's simply breathtaking. You can never predict what she'll do next; each move is both logical and genuinely surprising, ultimately leaving you in awe (!!!).

    I think this book is quite well-crafted, so I'm sharing it with you all. The writing style and setting are particularly good. For example, in Chapter 5 of Volume 1, there's a 1500-word classical Chinese text called "The Song of the Dao," which is the author's original work. A single song explains almost all the paths of cultivation. This style of setting the tone right from the start is absolutely fantastic.

    After searching high and low, I only found nine books. I've tested them all. Read them with confidence. If you don't like them, blame me. I'm talking about every single one. Sometimes you really can't judge a book by its ratings. And to know if a book is good or bad, you have to look at the negative reviews.
