AUTHOR'S NOTE / SLOW BURN WARNING
Please be advised: This is a Slow Burn Novel.
This means:
Character Development:
The growth of Mu Chen into the 'Merchant of Demons' will be gradual and deep, unfolded over many chapters as he faces complex moral and social hurdles.
Pacing & Romance:
The romantic relationship (BL/GL) will develop slowly, focusing on emotional intimacy, internal conflict, and shared struggle before the physical relationship deepens. Do not expect a fast-paced romance or quick power-ups.
If you prefer fast-paced novels, rapid action, or quick resolution of romantic tension, this story may not be for you.
Thank you for your patience! We welcome all readers ready for a rich, emotional journey.
