   The author's friend's story is based on real emotions; I've simply written down what he recounted. A nine-year first love ended in heartbreak.

To avoid burdening the female protagonist, they ultimately broke up.

    With its wildly imaginative plot and hilariously contrasting elements, the ancient demon lord Chonglou awakens after a three-thousand-year slumber, only to be reduced to an "ancient artifact."
