    Besides this story perfectly matching my taste and making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I also came across a passage in the extra chapter that ultimately led me to leave five stars: "He always believed that she had redeemed his life. In reality, how could one person have so much power to redeem another? Rather than redemption, it's more about supporting each other through past difficulties." It gave me a feeling I can't quite describe. In short, I still like this article; it's about facing one's desires and weaknesses with equanimity.

    Curator note

    The romance is well-written, and the story has many touching moments, making it a good read. However, in my opinion, there's room for improvement. The villains are rather underdeveloped, especially the two Human Emperors, whose backgrounds and obsessions aren't given much attention. The story focuses more on the injustices experienced by the demon race, without showing the hardships humans face in their struggle for survival. But the human race stubbornly insisted on restoring its glory, causing turmoil. The simplistic and neglected portrayal made me unable to feel their ideals and sense of justice, but rather their ambition. Therefore, I couldn't empathize with them, and instead felt resentful. The author's idea was good, but he didn't elaborate on it, so it seemed absurd. I can only give it four stars, which is a pity.

    I really love this story; I read it at night and silently shed tears. What is most touching is the teacher-student relationship between the young emperor and Grand Secretary Chen. Their relationship is like a generational handover, passing on the ideal of loving the people. The young emperor, who once did not understand, harbored resentment towards Grand Secretary Chen's strictness. In this life, the female protagonist is reborn, resolving the conflict between them, giving him the opportunity to understand, and allowing him to choose to move forward firmly. I really love the brilliance of this ideal, and I love the nation and the world.
