   Highly recommend this! All characters are from the novel, but it's not a happy ending (..). The author's portrayal of Li Chu has a subtle sense of death. The writing style retains the essence of the original work. Other characters are not out of character. Volume 1: Metamorphosis - Is it a new life or a farewell? This is not a good thing for Li Chu. It is already completed. The timeline is after the Sand Sea. When everyone's eyes followed him, he had already declined. Were those times redemption or stolen self-deception? Boss Wu, you love but don't see me (T_T). Randomly dropped delicious little extras. Volume 2: Li Chu travels to the past before the main story. Every day he witnesses the unlucky daily life of evil. He mysteriously plays with dogs, walks bottles, and wants to hit people. Li Chu says he can't afford it. He becomes the most mysterious man (I crowned him (·∀·)). For fans of this book, there are no triggers. I will not intentionally hate on anyone. If you want to be sad, you can be sad together. You can read it with peace of mind.

During the Sand Sea era, she was adopted by the old lady and became Wu Xie's aunt. Don't worry, she's fiercely protective of her nephew, Xiao Yali, and dotes on him. The author also reads the original novel and doesn't criticize the characters. The angst only exists in the side stories, which are quite enjoyable.
