Against the Current

⚠For those of you reading this book, this is an instruction manual.⚠ This book features two male protagonists and no female lead. The setting is the demon realm, where every character is at least 500 years old. Having lived for so many years, please stop asking if it's a "pure" story. The answer is that the bottom (shou) is "pure," but only physically; his heart belongs to the top (gong).

It's a pity you don't watch "Against the Current". I don't know the story of the Grand Protector and His Highness the Crown Prince. Ah Yuan was willing to sever his eight tails, gouge out his eyes, and cut off his fingers for His Highness… Ah Jing willingly gave up her freedom for Ah Yuan, and even...

This book is really good, it's just that so few people read it. I stumbled upon it the other day, and it's truly amazing. Lian Jing is so pitiful! While reading, I really wanted to step into the book and beat that Lian Sheng to death. I cursed him hundreds of times in the book. He can't have happiness himself, and he won't let others have it either.

Wow, the writing is really good! I just hope that Lian Jing's character development will be a bit more fragmented later on, that would make it even more engaging! My impression of Lian Jing is that of a beautiful but flawed woman with a difficult background who suffers discrimination. He harbors a deep-seated inferiority complex, but he doesn't usually want others to see it.

Although the "uncleanliness" aspect really saddened me, the author's writing is absolutely amazing!!! I also love the premise 😍 The character portrayals are incredibly rich, and the language is so beautiful! ♥(｡￫V￩｡)♥ Moreover, the characters' feelings and personalities aren't just expressed through language and facial expressions; it feels like they're conveyed through subtle details and actions.

The author has tormented me a thousand times, yet I still love the author like my first love. A-Jing's past life was too absurd; I only wish it were a dream. So please, A-Jing, in your next life, live peacefully with A-Yuan, A-Se… It must have a happy ending!!!

The author's writing is excellent, and each character is vividly portrayed with their own unique charm. It's just that the villain is way too evil 🥺. I felt so sorry for A-Jing and A-Yuan; countless times while reading, I wanted to jump into the book and kill the villain 😠. Thankfully, they have a happy ending 😆, and the villain got his punishment.

Ah Yuan, Ah Jing— Light eventually shone upon him; the world had not abandoned him, and his life was now filled with hope. "A-Yuan..." "Don't give up on me, forever and ever..." "I will haunt you for all eternity, even if you escape to the ends of the earth." The ending was a happy one for everyone, but every time I think back, I feel regret.

I think this book is really good. Although I've only read ten chapters, I find the characters and plot very engaging. I'm not good at praising things, so I can only say that this book is truly excellent, and I especially love it. I finished reading this book a few weeks ago, maybe even longer, and I've been meaning to write a review ever since, but I kept forgetting.

Actually, I always thought I gave it a rating, but I didn't. 😳 Mo Ming Qi Miao expressed her satisfaction with this book. She's been a fan of Tomato (a popular Chinese online literature platform) for two or three years and has read fewer than thirty good angst-filled novels. She feels very fortunate to have encountered this book and her beloved wife, Jiu Jiu.
