   📖 *Don't Call Me a Demon* | Yi Qingfeng | Urban Martial Arts | Ongoing Dear readers, *Don't Call Me a Demon* is truly a hidden gem in the world of online novels! The author's imagination is boundless, and the setting is absolutely brilliant, completely shattering my understanding of traditional urban martial arts novels! The story is set on a planet where spiritual energy is reviving. The Sacred Heavenly Gate stretches across the sky, the Spacetime Abyss wreaks havoc on humanity, and after twelve spiritual springs emerge from the earth, the four major forces—humans, demons, spirits, and the Demon Realm—engage in a thrilling battle for the source of power. The protagonist, Ren Jie, starts off in dire straits, losing his parents and younger brother, struggling to survive by working 27 odd jobs, and ultimately sacrificing his life while rescuing people from a fire. But who could have imagined that after his death, he awakens the Demon Tree, enabling him to form contracts with different demons, thus beginning his legendary adventure in this chaotic world. Ren Jie's personality is a true "treasure trove"—a roguish charmer with a head full of crooked money-making schemes, always teasing others, even making Tao Yaoyao blush the first time they met. But in crucial moments, his sense of justice explodes, and he never backs down from danger. Once, during a demonic disaster, while everyone else fled, he plunged into the flames to save people—a truly thrilling scene! The team members in the book are also incredibly unique! Tao Yaoyao is a genetically engineered warrior, incredibly powerful, but tormented by demonic scar disease; Lu Chen, a demonic contractor, loses a bet with Ren Jie and is constantly teased by him; Mo Wanrou is the team's tank, and her ambiguous relationship with Lu Chen is both subtle and frustrating; Hongdou initially seems like a little devil, but after being redeemed by Ren Jie, she wholeheartedly follows the team. They face life and death together in the apocalypse, supporting each other, and every battle they fight side-by-side is exhilarating! This book boasts an incredibly rich system of superpowers, integrating three major systems: those favored by gods, those bound by demonic contracts, and those powered by genetically modified warriors. The variety of abilities is astounding. For example, Ren Jie's Eyes of Illusion not only allows him to see through illusions but also helps him break through to higher realms at crucial moments—every time he uses it, it's incredibly cool! The plot is also full of twists and turns; the life-or-death battle between Ren Jie and the Rock Demon had me on the edge of my seat, holding my breath the whole time. There wasn't a single dull moment, with plot twists one after another, making it impossible to stop reading! Besides the thrilling battles, the author also explores profound themes like friendship and trust. In the harsh backdrop of the apocalypse, the pure camaraderie among the team members is especially precious. My friends, believe me, after reading "Don't Call Me a Demon," you'll definitely become a fan!

   "No wonder she has the air of an old friend; it turns out she's not dead!" [Learned][Learned][Learned] 1V1, cross-dressing, fake death, both protagonists are virgins—the premise is incredibly captivating. After the female lead, Yun Zhao, dies from overwork, she's bound to a system for nurturing a wise ruler. Disguised as a man, she accompanies the male lead, Xie Huaiqing, from the cold palace to the border, then back to the capital, helping him ascend the throne. She then fakes her death and travels. Three years later, the system says Xie Huaiqing is showing signs of reverting to a tyrant, forcing her to return to the capital. Upon their reunion, facing Xie Huaiqing's wolfish gaze, she knows she can't escape… The male and female leads' recognition is swift and decisive. The male lead is incredibly kind to the female lead, even willing to relinquish his imperial power, and even allows her to usurp power and poison him. The plot after the fake death is incredibly satisfying; they recognize each other immediately upon reunion, and the female lead doesn't deliberately hide her identity—old acquaintances all know. They speak frankly, quickly eliminating any misunderstandings. The male lead defeats the villains decisively. Overall, the flaws don't detract from the overall quality; definitely worth watching!
