Binghe just checks all the boxes for issues that I love exploring in characters-- ie. his unshakeable conviction that everyone will leave him-- and Shen Qingqiu's unintentional reinforcement of that conviction just breaks my heart.

I would never in a million years date Lou Binghe (the love interest).
He just does not act right in public

Enjoyed the book. Dark adventurous and funny satire of the genre until that scene. The "relationship" is toxic beyond repair. Theres no love here just unbalance which is fine if you acknowledge it but it went too far. There is clearly a rape scene very difficult to read and were supposed to feel ok with it. Why not one mentions the rape ????? low rating just because abuse/toxic relationships and rape cant be romanticized like that i feel bad for all the characters tbh

If it wasn't for the
extreme dubcon
I would probably give this 4⭐️ I just can't overlook
papapa to save the world


This book does contain all of the good content.
Shen Qingqiu's soul is pulled back to his original body and he wakes up in the Holy Mausoleum of the Demon Race. Sqq meets Luo Binghe's daddy, Tianlang-jun, and snake-bro, Zhuzhi-Lang.

Lbh shows up to rescue Sqq, but gets beat up because his qi is depleted from trying to keep Sqq's mushroom body sustained for multiple days, then busting into the holy mausoleum and fighting two demons. Sqq protects Lbh and we get the sexy coffin scene of the book.

Our boys almost get away, but Sqq has been gargling too much demon blood and has Zhuzhi-Lang, Tianlang-jun and Luo Binghe's tapeworms fighting inside. Daddy demon and snake-bro take sqq and we get a bunch of funny throuple jokes. Liu Qingge comes to rescue Sqq and Lbh tags along. Hilarity ensues. 

We do all the character work for several characters, including the sect leader and Lbh's parents, then defeat the final boss and Lbh gets taken over again by the demon sword. Extreme dubcon happens and we papapa to save the world.

The story ends with
everyone happy and Bingqiu being coupley.
