    The first book features a female lead who is the daughter of the previous Demon Lord and a male lead who is the current Demon Lord, albeit a fallen righteous disciple. This book mainly focuses on the female lead hiding her demonic cultivation, and it's incredibly good! The second book is about the eldest daughter of the Nangong family versus a beggar in the human realm. The male lead has bloodlines in the upper realm, and this book is super exciting! The eldest daughter of the Nangong family is incredibly arrogant. The third book tells the story of the senior sister and senior brother, as well as the original male lead and the original female lead. The original male lead eventually tries to win back his fiancée, the senior sister. The male lead is incredibly reserved and charming. Highly recommended! The fifth book is about Lin Dudu, who loves all living beings and has a seven-aperture glass heart. The seventh book is also about a senior sister and senior brother, but how to describe it? The male lead is a childhood sweetheart, similar to a talkative type, initially in a silent relationship, always quirky and sarcastic, incredibly awesome and good-looking. He's also the kind of handsome and unparalleled gentleman. He's the kind of dashing, debonair, and charming senior brother Xie. I won't say more; just read the synopsis. Anyway, he's pretty much to my liking.

    I've been watching this recently, and the female lead gets along really well with the original female lead (the female lead's CP isn't the male lead's, by the way). The resourceful senior sister versus the aloof senior brother is so sweet! [Heart emoji]
