   It features divine battles, arena duels, unsolved cases, ruins adventures, research reports, royal succession struggles, total war… in short, it's packed with plot elements!! The writing is smooth, and the concept of two male protagonists sharing a single soul is very creative. A Taoist priest transmigrates to a magical world, but the original owner (the count's son) is still alive, so the two protagonists share a single soul. He can chant magnificent spells and draw intricate talismans. Highly recommended!
