The Blue Gum Tree Waits in Vain for the Mistletoe Bird

The portrayal of unrequited love is very realistic. It's heartbreaking when the person you like doesn't like you back. You really shouldn't meet someone too amazing when you're young, alas, it can ruin your life! If only you could fall in love with Qiao Qi'an.

Don't meet someone too stunning when you're young, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. The author's writing is truly excellent. Unrequited love during youth often brings a bittersweet mix of sweetness and sorrow because of that special someone.

Good. I don't understand why it has such a low rating. It's practically the epitome of angst in youth literature, similar to "Nobody's Like You," but I feel this book is better. Whether it's the characters, the writing style, or the personalities, everything is handled perfectly.

It's so beautiful! I love her writing; it has a melancholic and somber feel. For example, she writes that most of her time is spent waiting—waiting for birth, waiting for death, waiting for beginnings, waiting for endings. This waiting also allows the results to blossom, sometimes into bright red flowers, sometimes into small white ones...

The writing is beautiful, and the story is very realistic. It's a book worth reading, and I hope the author continues to improve. I don't want to read any more sad endings; the withdrawal symptoms are too strong 😢. I hope every sister's secret crush comes true.

This is a very good novel, and it has many regrets. Unrequited love is inherently a chaotic and solitary experience. Ziru was a very gentle girl, and although she passed away from cancer at a young age in this world, they are happy in a parallel universe.

It's so heartbreaking, but the author's writing is so good. I feel sorry for her; Lin Fu never liked her from beginning to end, and Qiao Qi'an deserves better. The only drawback is that the description of the male lead's wedding was too short; I think it should be expanded.

You can tell from the title that this is a tragic ending (BE) story. I didn't cry much at the beginning, but I almost cried my eyes out later on. It started from where the younger brother left. So it turns out knights are there to protect princesses, not to be with them forever. And Qiao Qi'an's love is truly too extravagant. I hope you won't choose Lin Fu in your next life, but instead consider Qiao Qi'an.

I cried, especially after Ru died and she still regularly texted Qiao Qi'an. I couldn't hold back my tears. I personally think the whole book really portrayed unrequited love beautifully, whether it was the male or female lead. Also, the parts about the younger brother protecting his sister were great.

I cried. I randomly clicked on the book based on the title and synopsis, just to give it a try, but I ended up crying. Although it has a happy ending, the tragic ending was really heartbreaking, especially Lin Fu's actions. Qiao Qi'an's love was commendable, but the female lead, Zi Ru, had a really tough time; those who loved her gradually left. But that doesn't stop her from having a group of good friends, and school bullying is truly hateful! This story is really good.
