Description
Pei Xia transmigrated into a discontinued western fantasy novel and became the unlucky cannon fodder who had a pure body that was coveted by evil spirits and constantly suffered death threats. The protagonist of the novel was Lucifer, the holy son from the Church of Light. He possessed a beautiful appearance and divine purification ability. The novel’s description: The Holy Son, who had a charming physique, feels extremely distressed by his popularity. Therefore, Pei Xia decided to become a guard for his c*astity to avoid the fate of being possessed by an evil spirit. It’s just that……. When his admirer overbearingly pursued him, the Holy Son weakly leaned against Pei Xia’s arms, pitiful and adorable, “He is so fierce, I’m scared.” When the demonic beasts attacked, the Holy Son held Pei Xia’s waist and buried his head into the crook of Pei Xia’s neck, shivering, “Xia, protect me.” When assassins struck, Pei Xia blankly watched as the Holy Son decapitated one of the attackers with a single slash of his sword. His blood-stained lips raised into a seductive arc, but the moment he saw him, he let out a wet sob as he fainted onto the ground. Pei Xia: …. Holy Son: Why don’t you have wicked thoughts towards me? Pei Xia (who actually does have wicked thoughts but has forcefully suppressed them), “Because w̶e̶’̶r̶e̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶t̶o̶m̶s̶ I am very pious in my faith.” Lucifer smiled and said, “In that case, join me in my room tonight, and let’s hear the lord’s voice together.”

My Thoughts on Why is the Holy Son So Delicate?
This novel was quite a ride! I went in expecting a lighthearted comedy and, for the most part, that's exactly what I got. It's definitely not high literature, but sometimes you just need a story that's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely intriguing: a protagonist transmigrating into a cannon fodder role, determined to avoid a gruesome fate. The initial chapters hooked me with the humor and the dynamic between the MC and the ML, Lucifer. I was immediately invested in seeing how the MC would navigate this new world and how their relationship would develop.
What Works Well
The comedy is definitely a strong point. The MC's denseness, combined with Lucifer's constant attempts at seduction, creates some genuinely hilarious situations. I found myself laughing out loud at several points, especially during the extras. The characters are also quite endearing, even with their flaws. The MC's dedication, even if misguided at times, is admirable, and Lucifer's devotion is surprisingly sweet. The overall tone is fluffy and feel-good, making it a great read when you need a pick-me-up.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the humor, the central misunderstanding between the characters did drag on a bit too long. It felt like the plot was being artificially stretched out, and I found myself getting impatient for them to finally communicate properly. Some plot points felt rushed or not fully explored, especially towards the end. The resolution of the main conflict felt a little too easy, and I wish there had been more emotional depth in the aftermath.

Despite some flaws, "Why is the Holy Son So Delicate?" is an enjoyable and entertaining read. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a cute romance and don't mind a bit of silliness, this novel is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for some frustrating misunderstandings and a plot that might not be the most tightly woven. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
