   I'm truly speechless. The male lead is 8 years old! 8 years old! Everything was fine before, and then suddenly they had to throw in some inexplicable "CP" (couple) vibes. No normal person would be comfortable with an adult woman and an 8-year-old child, right? Even if the male lead is a transmigrator, this is ridiculous! You say his soul age is something, but his current body is that of an 8-year-old, so his age is also 8. And I really don't know if the author has some kind of serious illness. Even if you like Dilraba Dilmurat a lot, you didn't need to write it like this, did you? Why did you have to add these ambiguous things? You've turned a perfectly good tomb raiding story into this garbage. I'm speechless. If you really want to see this, you can go read chapter 79. Of course, if you haven't read the beginning where the male lead is only eight years old, you might not react so strongly.
