Description
After hatching endless plots and suffering innumerable hardships, the demons of the Demonic Realm finally managed to resurrect the Ancient Demon King. The demons of the Demonic Realm had hoped that the Ancient Demon King would not only lead them in waging a war against the Heavenly Realm and enable them to lord their superiority over the Immortals, he would also ultimately gain control over the entire realm. Gradually, however, they discovered that their thoughts were very, very wrong. Whilst it is true that this Ancient Demon King still retains his aura of superiority and possesses unlimited powers, he… He seems to be a mental case… It’s alright even if he changes orders and does things in an incomprehensible way. But what’s with his habit of muttering under his breath, nagging and conversing with himself the entire day! Small Orchid: He’s not ill, he’s just despicable (贱jian)…can’t stand to see (见jian) people live a good life. Dong Fang: I am only unable to endure seeing you live a good life. Small Orchid: … *T/N: The Chinese pronunciation for the word “despicable” is the same as the word “see” – thus, the author is trying to show that Small Orchid, while trying to scold Dong Fang, is also careful not to incur his wrath, which is why she tried to imbue another meaning into her sentence after scolding him.

My Thoughts on Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang
"Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang" has been quite the journey! It's a xianxia romance that promises adventure, comedy, drama, and a whole lot of angst. While I found myself captivated by certain aspects, other elements left me a little wanting.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the comedic dynamic between Dong Fang Qing Cang, the arrogant Demon King, and Little Orchid, the innocent flower spirit. The body swap trope added a layer of complexity and humor to their interactions. The early chapters were lighthearted and fun, setting the stage for what I thought would be a fluffy, romantic comedy.
What Works Well
The character development, particularly Little Orchid's, is a definite highlight. Watching her evolve from a naive, easily frightened flower spirit into a more confident and clever individual was rewarding. Even though she remains "weak" in terms of power, her determination to survive shines through. The author does a great job of slowly building the chemistry between the leads, making their eventual romance feel earned, even if it takes a while to get there. Dong Fang Qing Cang's slow realization of his feelings for Little Orchid, and his subsequent change, felt realistic and compelling. The story has a unique way of showing the readers how their feelings build up slowly until it becomes real love.
Areas of Concern
The angst level can be quite high, and some readers might find it overwhelming. The Demon King is, well, a demon, and his actions can be cruel and manipulative. I can see why some might find him irredeemable. Also, the translation quality is a bit uneven, with some grammatical errors that can disrupt the reading flow. The ending felt a bit rushed, leaving me wanting more romantic moments between the leads.

Final Verdict
Overall, I'd give "Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang" a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The strong character development, unique premise, and emotional depth make it a worthwhile read. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions, and maybe keep a box of tissues handy. If you enjoy stories with morally grey characters, slow-burn romances, and a healthy dose of angst, this might be right up your alley.
