The story is quite interesting. Although the system thing is getting old to me since people in wattpad uses systems sometimes, it is one of the few stories that has a system and horror into it. Being one of the few translated horror and thriller novels in this website led me to read this. With the kind of background the world has, how eccentric the MC is, and the mixture of mystery and horror and thriller elements made me interested in reading this story.

Korean horror films have been around since the early years of Korean cinema, however, it was not until the late 1990s that the genre began to experience a renewal. Many of the Korean horror films tend to focus on the suffering and the anguish of characters rather than focus on the explicit "blood and guts" aspect of horror. Korean horror features many of the same motifs, themes, and imagery as Japanese horror. Modern South Korean horror films are typically distinguished by stylish directing, themes of social commentary, and genre blending. The horror and thriller genres are cited as gaining international attention to South Korean Cinema. American Hollywood has adapted several Korean horror films such as Oldboy (2003 film), Into the Mirror (2003), and A Tale of Two Sisters (2003). Train to Busan (2016) and The Wailing (film) (2016) are rumored to currently have remakes in talks for production.

Loyal dog boyfriend, arrogant and wild

Lu Yiliang's biggest hobby was An Zhouwan. He only liked An Zhouwan and had liked her since university. "The world is big, but An Zhouwan is the most important." He once said to his best friend,"An Zhouwan is my life." He liked to say to others,"Food is the most important thing for the people, but I regard An Zhou's evening as the most important thing." Even though Lu Yiliang knew that he liked a thousand-year-old demon, even though he knew that An Zhouwan only treated him as her medicine, Lu Yiliang still loved him very much. The extent to which Lu Yiliang liked An Zhouwan could be summed up in three idioms-shameless, persistent, and devoted. In short, he had spent seven years chasing after his wife and spoiled her for a long time. After successfully wooing his wife, a certain man began to worry. " A human's lifespan is only a few decades, but you've ascended to become an immortal, so you can live forever." "Don't be afraid. I'll accompany you forever." The female immortal said gently. " But soon, I'll be old and yellow. You'll despise me." "Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. Don't worry, I like your soul." The female immortal smiled patiently. " But…" Lu Yiliang wanted to continue. " Shut up." An Zhouwan couldn't take it anymore." It's enough. I don't like trouble."
