She didn’t get a palace-intrigue script or even a chance to enjoy the Crown Princess’s luxurious life. Because the country had fallen.

   I don't remember the book "The Wild Guest Startled to Realize the Mountain Crushing" very well, but it really touched me when I read it. It had both sweet and heart-wrenching moments, and I remember it very well. However, I've forgotten the main plot, so I won't reveal it here. If you're interested, you can find out for yourself. 🤩

After considering it, I decided not to paywall the extras either. The whole novel is free to read. Writing a million-word free novel is no easy feat. A kind word can warm someone for three winter months, so thank you very much.) “The way of Heaven is there for all to see.

   This book completely changed my perception of the universe! It's incredibly good. The plot wasn't particularly captivating at first, but it became addictive as I read on. The whole book revolves around cultivation and Taoist practices, with sweet and angsty moments, and a very positive outlook. I was often amazed by the power of the male and female leads; it really resonated with me. Overall, it's a perfect book with a relatively novel plot. The path of cultivation is long and winding. The only drawback is that there were quite a few parts I didn't understand towards the end, but I didn't read it for about six months in between, so I don't remember them very well. Highly recommended!

   It was completely free! The scenery of mountains and rivers, the little sister and brother...😳 It was incredibly good and captivating when I first watched it; there were probably a lot of sweet parts, but I've forgotten some of them (I watched a lot of it last year, so it's really difficult to review it this year, sorry!).

   Well, since it's completely free, watching the Demon Realm after finishing the God Realm was a bit of a letdown. I thought the beginning would connect well, but the unexpected perspective was a little disappointing. However, after reading two pages, I thought, "Wow, this is amazing!" 😚

   I'm currently reading the free serialized version and it's quite good, but even after 400 chapters, I still think Liuguang-jun is the male lead. I don't know why the author chose him as the male lead? I have a few thoughts: in the middle part, the female lead dreams of someone who looks about five parts like Liuguang-jun, and I'm wondering if Liuguang-jun is really just a spirit or an immortal who descended to earth for training. Actually, for someone like me who likes otome games, although this one isn't particularly... There are a few parts I really like—the pure love and first romance are especially sweet.

Lin Luo grabbed the chattering black cat in front of her and tossed it outside. "No! I want to go home!" Who could have guessed that Lin Luo would eventually set out on the "broad road" to conquering the Demon Realm after all? 125Favorites365Clicks/ch—Gifts

    Overall, it was pretty good and I finished it in two days since it was completely free. However, I don't know why they added "them" to the title, which made me a little disappointed because it wasn't a harem story in the end. But the overall plot was still good. I remember the ending was about who the female lead took back to the modern world. Hmm, I can't quite remember.
