Heads up. I don't know who it was that put the demographic as shonen or josei but I can tell you that this manhua is definitely not shonen. It's true that when I initially started I thought it was (hence I listed it as such) but the complexity of themes involved are more than enough reason to know this is not the case (the difficulty of the language used and the crazy literary references are another). To be fair, josei is probably the closest demographic for this manhua (and if it is would be uncommon for the genre but not completely unthinkable). However, note that Chinese manhua don't list a demographic audience for their comics as Japanese manga do, so any demographic listed is more or less guess work.
