   It's quite funny. The male lead's low level of socialization in the early stages is really infuriating, but he gets better later on; he has a bit of a weird side. However, the revelation of his true identity too late is dragging, and the overpowered setting of the "truth-spitting pill" is a bit ridiculous. (Regarding the issue of this book containing BL elements, the author portrays the gay characters in a very low-brow and funny way, and the story is quite short. The female lead also becomes a Kunlun hero later on, so I think it's perfectly fine.)

She understood that now he knew she was a lustful fiend, she would never be able to get close to him again. Desperate t 63.2kFavorites49.8kClicks/ch51.6kGifts

   It's incredibly good. Forced acquisitions are easy to write poorly, but this one is perfect. The male protagonist is from humble beginnings, dark and obsessive yet impeccably dressed; he's not sleazy at all, and actually quite charming. I stayed up all night reading it, it was so addictive!

   The beginning was great, I was totally hooked, but then the male lead's character fell apart. He went from a cunning, ruthless wolf to a dim-witted, clueless dog, a 20-something having a primary school romance – it got increasingly awkward. I only came here because this author rarely writes about male characters with clean male identities. [Crying emoji]

   The parts before the female lead loses her memory are hilarious and addictive, while the dungeons in the Demon Realm and the Human Realm feel a bit rushed. Overall, though, it's still quite enjoyable.

    It's a good read. The trope of an older, scheming, crazed, and aloof woman is overused, but the author's character development is refreshing. It's not contrived, greasy, or overly paternalistic. The male and female leads are fully fleshed out, and the supporting characters aren't simply black and white. The story flows naturally from the heart.
