The Dead Tree Runs Wild

This is so good! The author's writing is superb. Xu Cheng and Sheng Yuqing are such a great couple. Xu Cheng feels like a piece of withered wood, his life is incredibly miserable, but under Sheng Yuqing's care, or rather, the nourishment of love, things will only get better! Just like the title says, the withered wood grows wildly into a big tree, and the small willow grows into a resilient tamarisk (˵¯͒¯͒˵).

Lately, all the books I've been reading have felt... Well... How to put it... Boring and uninteresting. But today, I opened Tomato Book and refreshed it, and I came across this one. After looking at it for a while, I think it's really good. 🥰

It's incredibly good. The uke (bottom) is like a little sun, always standing up for the seme (top). To ease the seme's burden, he even lets the seme tutor him. The seme's experiences brought tears to my eyes; he suffered so much, caring for his mother with schizophrenia while studying, and yet he excelled so much. I was heartbroken.

I'm secretly giving you five stars. You're my first pair of main characters. May you live a long and happy life together in another dimension. Mom will always love you.

I was drawn in by the cover, and after reading the synopsis, I found the premise to be exactly what I wanted, so I read it in one go. Every character left a deep impression on me, especially Yu Qing's mother. I haven't seen a mother with such upright values in a long time 😳. Overall, it's a very, very good, underrated novel. The author's writing is excellent.

I was drawn in by the character design. In the first few chapters, I didn't particularly like the plot and writing style, but as the story progressed, I felt the author's writing improved significantly! The author also seemed to be revising earlier chapters, which showed their sincerity, and I started to like them.

I was halfway through reading it, but I already cried. For example, when Xiaoyu said that no one treated me like a patient, I thought of the phrase, "They don't treat me like a human being either." I don't know why that thought came to mind, but I couldn't help but laugh at myself. But when I read the next sentence, "Mom, I want to be a normal person," I cried. Maybe I'm too empathetic.

I devoured this in one go! It's an exceptionally good book! Although the author hasn't finished updating it yet, it's truly captivating. The writing is excellent, the characters are well-developed, the plot is well-structured, and it also depicts the purest friendships on campus—everyone is wonderful.

Very beautiful, both are good babies, but their lives are so tragic. Very genuine emotions (nods).

Always grow wildly, always look upwards, and never give up.
