My darlings, today I absolutely have to recommend this masterpiece with both male and female leads! It starts with a national war, the protagonist ventures into forbidden territory, meets a little demon girl, and thus begins their "team-up adventure." First, there's the destruction of a city and their escape, then the Muyang City championship competition, followed by a behind-the-scenes manipulator orchestrating a treasure auction. The various factions, like in a game of "Werewolf," engage in a series of conspiracies and schemes, forming powerful alliances for their own interests. Just then, the protagonist's "dream is about to end..." Leaves him completely bewildered, and even more unexpectedly, an "attack" occurs. Facing the oppressive presence of a Golden Core Ancestor, how will this major crisis be resolved? It's absolutely thrilling, making your heart race! Even more impressive is the author's skillful writing, masterfully controlling the transitions between several plot points and bringing over a dozen or so vividly portrayed supporting characters. Family members, don't hesitate, quickly add them to your bookshelf and savor them slowly. Just go for it! The more you read, the more you'll be hooked.
