I've read quite a lot of angsty stories before, and I'm usually a bit sentimental. I love listening to sad songs and hearing sad stories, too. I've already read "Bone-Deep Crisis", "He Said Our Love Came Too Late", and "May You Shine as Bright as the Stars"... I'd prefer something with lots of chapters, since I'm a night owl.

On May 18, 2022, I finished reading this novel for the fifth time. At 19, I had a different feeling after watching it. I've watched it so many times, and it still touches my heart every time. What I like most is Ajiu's boundless tolerance for Rong Mo. No matter how much pain he had caused her, she was still willing to walk towards him and embrace him, as joyful as when they first met...
This is a book that's purely designed to make you cry. The first part was so heart-wrenching, I almost wanted Yu... To become the male lead. It's really pushing the boundaries of what's good. But this also shows that the author's writing style is quite good! (However, because it's so angsty, I don't want to give it five stars. Four stars will do.
I really like Yu Guiwan. He's really good to the female lead, it's a pity they can't be together, it's quite a shame. I hope someone like him can meet a girl who loves him back in the future...
Five stars for the author, because she wrote so much, which is rare. The book can be summed up in one sentence: I feel endless heartache for the female lead. No one but Yu is worthy of her, and the male lead doesn't deserve to be with her. I didn't get angry while reading; I just cried. I felt so much heartache for the female lead.
Ugh, this is so cruel! No matter who's being tortured in the story, it feels like everyone's torturing me. But the plot is full of twists and turns, so it's still pretty good. If only it weren't so agonizing T^T
I think this book is wonderful; it vividly portrays love, hate, anger, and infatuation, depicting the eternal bond between Amo and Ajiu. My favorite poem is: "Spring banquet, a cup of green wine, a song sung once. I then present three wishes: first, that my beloved live a thousand years; second, that I may often see him, year after year, we shall meet again."
The book is very good. Both the male and female leads have terrible mothers. Rong Mo loves the female lead very much. He might have enjoyed mistreating her at first, but later he'll face a nightmare trying to win her back. Fortunately, the female lead's love is deep and she only loves him.
This is an incredibly heart-wrenching novel. They torment each other despite being so deeply in love. The male and female leads have it so tough! Why did the author make them suffer so much, subjecting them to so many hardships? It's giving me heartache! I hope it has a happy ending!
Yu Guiwan deserves the best, because he deserves it. I didn't skip a single word; I read it word by word. There was a part in the middle that I couldn't bear to watch anymore, it was too heartbreaking, and I didn't watch it for a while afterward, but I still finished it, and thankfully the ending was still happy. My late-life happiness should belong to freedom, not be confined to a relatively small realm of romantic love.
The male lead is actually quite pitiful. He probably lacked family companionship growing up, which might have led to a somewhat strange personality. He's quite possessive and manipulative in the early stages. Why did he hate the female lead so much before? If you put yourself in his shoes, it's because he didn't know what love was back then.
