Tags
Summary
When dancer Xiang Yan first meets Luo Yizhou, she thinks he is the most handsome man she has seen in her life. But on their second meeting, she labels him as "look only, don't touch" – dangerous. Returning home from abroad, Xiang Yan finds herself back in her small hometown, only to discover that Luo Yizhou is working there as a clinic doctor, and her grandmother is scheming to match them up. Luo Yizhou's arrival feels like a door to a magical world opening. Then one day, Xiang Yan learns that Luo Yizhou is the demon king, and even his pet parrot is no ordinary bird… Everything starts to change. "Do you believe in karma between people?" Xiang Yan, you are my karma, and I am certain of it.
Editor's review
Ying Ge Yan Wu places urban romance and fantasy in the same small-town setting: dancer Xiang Yan returns from abroad to her hometown, where she reunites with Luo Yizhou, whom she once labeled "dangerous." Her grandmother's matchmaking quickly draws them together, and beneath his identity as a clinic doctor, Luo Yizhou is actually the demon king—even his pet parrot is extraordinary. Shi Cha wraps the fantastical truth in lighthearted everyday interactions, with the theme of karma running throughout—"You are my karma" is both a confession and a footnote to the story's structure. The book's readability lies in its contrasts: the warmth of small-town life set beside the suspense of the demon king's identity, giving the romance both a lived-in texture and imaginative space. It suits readers who enjoy light fantasy romance and take pleasure in identity reveals and relational push-and-pull. There is no need to rush toward a full picture of the worldbuilding; following Xiang Yan's perspective from doubt to closeness makes the settling of karma all the more meaningful.
Who it's for
A good fit for

Reading tips
- Start by accepting the brisk pace of small-town daily life, then follow Xiang Yan's perspective to gradually learn about Luo Yizhou's nonhuman identity.
- Pay attention to the appearances of the parrot and other pet characters; they connect to later plot points and karma clues.
- Treat "karma" as the key word for understanding their relationship, and look back at the first-impression scene when you reach the confession.
- A good light read for bedtime or commuting; reading in sections still keeps the plot coherent.

FAQ
Is this book purely romance or primarily fantasy?
It's a blend: the romance between Xiang Yan and Luo Yizhou drives the main plot, while the fantasy setting provides identity suspense and relational tension. Everyday interactions take up considerable space, and the demon king identity and karma theme unfold gradually in the middle and later sections. Overall, it leans toward light fantasy romance.
I haven't read fantasy before—will I understand it?
Yes. The story enters through Xiang Yan's ordinary-person perspective: at first sight she only finds Luo Yizhou handsome, and only on the second meeting labels him dangerous. Readers discover the truth alongside her. The fantasy elements are revealed as the plot progresses, so no prior background is needed.
Are there many matchmaking scenes involving the grandmother?
The grandmother's matchmaking is one of the forces drawing the two closer and is part of the small-town atmosphere. It gives their interactions a domestic, light-comedy flavor, but the story's focus remains on how Xiang Yan comes to see Luo Yizhou and his true identity anew.
Is the ending a happy one?
The available information does not cover the ending's details, so the exact resolution cannot be confirmed. From the line "You are my karma," the story emphasizes a sense of destiny and affirmation in their relationship; as you read, watch for how the karma theme plays out in the romance.
