This is truly the best book I've read on Taobao so far. "The blue eucalyptus has met its release bird, loving nothing but you." The author's writing is delicate and perfectly suited to my taste. The male lead is incredibly attentive to detail, silently watching over Yao Yao and protecting her safety from unseen by others.
It's finished, but I feel a little empty inside after following it all the way. The female lead is incredibly wonderful, and the male lead is wonderful too. They're so similar in so many ways, a match made in heaven. For example, their family backgrounds are heartbreaking. Both of them have experienced a lot of misfortune, but thankfully they have each other.
"The blue eucalyptus has met its released bird, loving nothing but you." I really enjoyed the diaries in the story. Jiang Zhiyao's unrequited love diary received a response, and Xing Shi's growth diary was also seen. Jiang Zhiyao's unsent letters from abroad, and Xing Shi's will written before going undercover—in the end, the letters and the will strengthened their resolve to be together.
It's really good! While waiting for the next update, I wanted to find something similar to read, but I couldn't get into any of them. I read another book by the same author, and it was also great! It's too short, I didn't get enough! The writing is incredibly delicate, especially the flashback sections. It concisely and clearly explains the male lead's experiences over the years.
Waaaaah, this story is so good! The author's writing is excellent. I'm still reeling from the ending. It has sweet moments and heart-wrenching scenes, but mostly sweet ones. And the narcotics police are truly admirable, silently protecting us. Xing Shi loves Yao Yao deeply, and Yao Yao loves Xing Shi just as much. However, I have an idea.
Highly recommend it! Sisters, everyone should read this! This novel is so good! I hope the author keeps up the good work! You're my pillar of support! Keep going! ❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺
On May 9, 2025, a message was left: "Lan An has found her true love. She loves no other things but only you, a deep and enduring love. Thankfully, they didn't miss each other. Jiang Zhiyao was a lamp, a ray of light, in Xing Shi's lonely night, finally bringing him brightness and preventing him from losing his way during his long wait. He slowly approached her, carefully protecting her.
This book is truly amazing, absolutely fantastic! The male and female leads are perfectly portrayed. The special nature of narcotics police officers, even though it's just a novel, made me tense watching Xing Shi carry out his missions. It felt like I was one of the supporting characters, and I felt the pain of Xing Shi and Jiang Zhiyao's separation for years, as if I were their friend.
The author is truly amazing!!! When I first came across it during summer vacation, it only had an 8.8 Rating and was still ongoing. I was going through a reading slump at the time, so I just started reading to try it out. But I found it incredibly addictive! After summer vacation, school started, and it wasn't finished yet, so I didn't read it for a while.
It's been a long time since I've read such a good novel. The male lead's story really touched my heart. I really can't imagine how he got through it all 😢 The female lead, Yao Yao, is truly a great heroine. "Where a young girl's pen goes, flowers bloom endlessly" is a perfect description of Yao Yao. The male lead's kindness to the female lead is so touching. Although there were some minor misunderstandings in the middle, it's really great~ 😢 Highly recommended.
