When Youth Fails to See the Demon Lord’s Greatness

Feng Qingyun waited for his Senior Brother for more than a lifetime, from being young and enthusiastic to having his sincere heart replaced with ashes. While his Senior Brother won praise and followers everywhere, becoming the leader of the Righteous Path, he was nothing but a dried speckle of mosquito blood- dismissed and forgotten. But then the sky collapsed, and the whole cultivation world turned to chaos. After using all his spiritual power to send his disciples to safety, Feng Qingyun had no choice but to wait for death, trapped in a cave with his mortal enemy… The Demon Lord, who came to mock his final moments. “Little Palace Master, your husband is probably crying in the arms of some beauty right now, swearing to look for you in his next life, while you can only die in here with me. Giving your heart to the wrong man, do you regret it?” Hearing his mockery, Feng Qingyun fell silent. Facing that cold expression until the sky collapsed over his body, the Demon Lord changed his tone and said lightly:” If I knew you’d turn up like this because of that fool, I wouldn’t have hesitated on your wedding day.” “…?!” When he opened his eyes again, Feng Qingyun returned to the night before he became his Senior Brother’s Dao companion. “Your Excellency, you were not invited,” he said calmly, walking thowards an ordinary looking cultivator. “What’s the point of coming all the way here?” The other party was silent before removing his disguise. And just like that, the demon feared by the entire cultivation world looked at Feng Qingyun with a hint of mischief before saying: “I am here to get back what already belongs to me.” “And what is that?” “You.” ………… Double rebirth, but the gong doesn’t remember in the beginning. The flower demon turned sword cultivator who hasn’t bloomed in six hundred years vs. The Lord of the demon race who loves to tease his wife and pretend to be cool

## My Thoughts on When Youth Fails to See the Demon Lord’s Greatness "When Youth Fails to See the Demon Lord’s Greatness" immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and the promise of a cultivation world turned upside down. I dove in hoping for a compelling xianxia romance, and I wasn't disappointed. While it might not be a revolutionary piece of literature, it definitely offers a satisfying read for fans of the genre. ### First Impressions The initial chapters paint a picture of Feng Qingyun, a devoted cultivator deeply in love with his senior brother. His unwavering loyalty and willingness to endure mistreatment initially frustrated me, but I knew it was a setup for some serious character development. The synopsis hints at a rebirth, and I was eager to see Feng Qingyun finally stand up for himself. This novel definitely hooked me with its promise of emotional catharsis and a strong protagonist finding his worth. ### What Works Well The dynamic between Feng Qingyun and Long Yin, the Demon Lord, is a major highlight. Long Yin's playful teasing and genuine care create a heartwarming and steamy relationship, even without explicit content. I appreciate that the author uses "circumstances" to bring them together, leading to some mortifying but ultimately enjoyable moments for our thousand-year-virgin MC. The face-slapping moments are also very satisfying, and I found myself cheering for Feng Qingyun as he shed his past self and embraced his power. The overarching plot is also promising, with hints of mystery and supernatural events that kept me engaged. I particularly liked that the demons are actual demons and not just humans who cultivate the demonic path. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, let's talk about the first life. Feng Qingyun's initial devotion to Mu Hanyang, his senior brother, is almost painful to watch. He's essentially used and unappreciated, which makes his eventual rebirth and transformation all the more rewarding. The reveal that Long Yin was actually Feng Qingyun's first husband in a past life adds another layer of intrigue and makes their connection even more compelling. Mu Hanyang, on the other hand, is portrayed as the typical righteous hero who is willing to sacrifice anything for the greater good, including the people he supposedly loves. His inability to recognize Feng Qingyun's worth, even after his rebirth, is infuriating but also contributes to the overall emotional impact of the story. ### Final Verdict Overall, I found "When Youth Fails to See the Demon Lord’s Greatness" to be a thoroughly enjoyable read. It delivers on its promise of emotional gratification, a strong protagonist, and a steamy romance. While it might not be groundbreaking, it's a solid entry in the BL Xianxia genre and a great choice for readers looking for a satisfying and engaging story. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where the story goes and how Feng Qingyun and Long Yin's relationship develops.
