   The first book was very angsty for me. It has ten worlds, each with a happy ending, but all of them left me feeling unsatisfied. This is to teach the protagonist about love. The last ten worlds involve resurrection and the villain's love. If you like pure angst, just read the first ten worlds. I haven't read much of the second and third books yet, but from the synopsis, I think they'll be angsty.

The personal shadow guard also has superb martial arts skills, it can be said that there are only a few people in the world who can fight him to a draw, he is simply the ceiling among shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that the personal shadow guard has different feelings for him, a homosexual relationship that is not allowed by the world. Years of close companionship, coupled with the Shadow Guard's exceptional talent, intensified He Junyan's possessiveness. He wanted to arrange the Shadow Guard's marriage because 'Achen' was his. However, he recently discovered something was amiss with the Shadow Guard; he had lied to him, more than once. This was unacceptable to He Junyan. But what he didn't expect was that the lie, once exposed, revealed a heart-wrenching identity: a 'medicine man'! Feelings surged within him, and he finally understood his own heart. "How can the person I cherish most, He Junyan, suffer such torment!" The love he dared not hope for was reciprocated—something Ye Chen had never even dreamed of. However, bound by his status and societal norms, he knew this love wouldn't have a happy ending, so he cherished the time spent with his master.
