   The male protagonist was born with the destiny of the King of Hell. His grandfather (not his biological father, but you could also call him his master) schemes against him to give him a chance at survival. It's a bit like the "annulment of an engagement" type, but the male protagonist becomes genuinely strong after leaving the mountain. He's not a saint; his intelligence and abilities are top-notch. The character portrayal is also very detailed and realistic. Highly recommended! [Thumbs up] (But it seems there's a female lead, because I haven't seen the later parts yet [eating popcorn emoji])

    Dear future readers, hello! I am Bu Shi Wang Hou, a complete novice. If we are destined to meet here, I want to say thank you! Even if you criticize me in the book reviews, saying my writing is rubbish, etc., I welcome it all. After all, haters are still fans, and they are my motivation to keep writing, hehe! Getting back to the point, I have to give you a spoiler, and I also want to apologize to the author, Xiao Ding. If you happen to see this one day, I hope you won't blame me or hold me responsible. I'm trembling with fear. You can only blame yourself; it's all because you wrote "Zhu Xian" too well. For every "Zhu Xian" fan who was heartbroken for Qin Mengyao, there was another who felt uneasy for Lu Xueqi. I was one of them, and one of the earliest. I apologize again to Xiao Ding. Future readers have already guessed that in the later plot, Qin Mengyao and Lu Xueqi (just borrowing names) will appear as sisters (when I think of the female lead's name, these two girls are like a nightmare that I can't shake off). No matter the outcome, I will fulfill my dream!
