   I highly recommend a super exciting prehistoric fantasy novel! The protagonist, Xiao Chen, starts as a lowly demon in Nuwa's Palace, witnesses the conspiracy behind the Investiture of the Gods, and after his system awakens, he directly confronts Bodhisattvas, rewrites the Investiture of the Gods, rebukes the Heavenly Emperor, and even shouts, "We humans are not meant to kneel and beg for life!" It has a grand scope and excellent writing, especially the part where the Yin-Yang Mirror reveals his past as he saved Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi—it brought me to tears 😭 If you like subverting mythology and system novels, go for it! ...!!!

    This is the author's first fantasy/xianxia novel, and you can check it out if you're interested. (Single female lead, no system, not a wish-fulfillment story, ensemble piece, initially told from the female lead's perspective, slow-paced and requires patience, with a lot of setup. Suggestions are welcome; the author humbly accepts them.) Note: The female lead is the first character to appear; the male lead appears in chapter 25. He is not the male lead in the first few chapters. Aside from the main and side plots, there is a lot of interaction between the male and female leads.
