    Reader note

    After I feigned death, the once aloof and serene Immortal Venerable Qingchen fell to demonic possession. He allowed his inner demons to devour him wantonly. From this day forward, the Three Realms will never again have Immortal Venerable Qingchen. The Demon Venerable Jinchen was born into the world. I always thought he had a radiant presence, but I never imagined he only had me as his sole object of affection.

    Reader note

    I just read two. The one about tearing up the answer sheet is about someone who doesn't want a man, focuses solely on making money, and even gets her girlfriends and mother involved, shining brightly together. In the end, she blossoms on her own and butterflies come to her. The other one, about the abyss, is more tragic. She's framed and pushed to the bottom, but slowly plots and schemes her way up to take revenge. They're both short stories, and it was quite enjoyable to read them in one go.
