In the memories of the world, Luo Zhangliu was a controversial senior disciple of Lingyuan Sect, as well as its most despicable and depraved former sect master.
Before he sacrificed himself for the Dao and died in battle on the eve of the final clash between the Dao and the demons, his reputation was so bad that even the gods cursed him and the Buddhas dreaded him.
His misdeeds included slaughtering the groom's entire family at the wedding of a medical immortal's successor; ruining the ambitious empress so thoroughly that hearing the name of a certain drug gave her PTSD; and using the purity and reputation of the North Sea Dragon Clan princess as bargaining chips for a priceless treasure.
And then there was the way he abused his junior sister by every means imaginable.
But Luo Zhangliu, or rather, Luo Ziwei, has something to say about that.
Thanks to the System, she didn't even have the necessary equipment, so naturally she couldn't do anything too depraved. As for the terrifying rumors about her, they weren't entirely made up, but there were some rather frustrating reasons behind them.
Of course, in the eyes of her "enemies," her excuses might as well not exist.
Now, after losing all her cultivation, she has become a woman for real. She's also adopted a little demon girl as her daughter, giving her a whole lot of weaknesses she never had before.
If the people she once bullied come looking for her...
"Miss Luo (Mother), you wouldn't want anyone to find out that your daughter (I) is a demon, would you?"
Wait, how did some strange guy get mixed up in this?
I probably can't write the mother-daughter play part much further, so I'd better revise the outline now, otherwise I'll end up like the person next door who got writer's block and had to revise until he died.
I feel that making the protagonist too repressed isn't a good idea, since most of the time we're empathizing with the protagonist's perspective. Of course, if it's purely for the sake of action, then disregard what I said.
Evaluation
I've caught up to the latest chapter, but it's a bit of a shame. The protagonist's "death buff" caused by the Five Signs of Decay disappeared too quickly at the beginning. His cultivation level vanished abnormally and couldn't be recovered. Coupled with this so-called "Five Signs of Decay," I initially thought the death buff would last for a considerable time, since it was considered a selling point. His past enemies found him under various circumstances, only to discover that he had lost his former sharpness and ruthlessness, leaving only a mother content with her reclusive life. When they finally tried to harm him, they found his body riddled with wounds and utterly broken. They wanted revenge but dared not exert themselves too much, because the protagonist would...
The entire plot feels like a series of illusions and trips back in time, which is already quite tiresome. Moreover, the protagonist is either rescuing people or on his way to rescue people, which is exhausting to watch and leaves me with no time to rest. I think it would be much better if there were more slice-of-life scenes.
So how many harem members does he have? It seems like there are more and more. Can he manage to keep up?
The protagonist is merely a puppet stuffed with Luo Zhangliu's memories. No matter how lofty his identity or themes are set, he still feels like just an X-shaped doll.
Highly recommended
In just thirty or forty chapters, I've reread it repeatedly (definitely not for the erotic content). To be honest, our Sect Leader Luo's character is my favorite among all the characters I've read. His reaction to his ex-lover's return is so honest; he doesn't resort to the harsh words often found in other books, giving off an "I'm guilty, so come and take revenge" vibe that's truly reassuring. Besides, his demeanor is just right, without any of those clichéd plots like the lewd collar or imprisonment (don't mind, I like those too, but they get tiresome after a while). The female characters, like the junior sister, are also well-developed, without any twisted personalities, and they genuinely care about the protagonist's safety. In short, I'm looking forward to its release; please finish it, please...
Is the series nearing completion?
If I wanted to take revenge on someone, I would definitely use illusion magic to deceive them, making them suffer a mental torment worse than death, then inflict some physical torture until they cried out "Master."
To offer a personal opinion, I've never had any good feelings towards Jun. Perhaps I missed something, but the junior sister and the divine doctor searched for the protagonist for so many years, yet Jun never mentioned it. Furthermore, it seems the junior sister and the divine doctor still have feelings for the protagonist, while Jun only appears to be seeking revenge. If this plot point isn't handled well, it could cause problems.
