It successfully brought me to tears; seemingly a tragic ending, yet it felt like a happy one. Regret fades into the dust, a reunion in the clouds; the bitterness of the past has long been transformed into perfect happiness by starlight. I believe Nan Siye and Jiang Sheng will meet again in heaven! Looking forward to the author's other works! Keep it up!
Thank you, author, for letting me read Jiang Sheng's story. At first, I didn't understand why it was called "Waiting for the End of Winter, Hoping for the Arrival of Spring." But later I realized that Jiang Sheng's grandmother didn't see the cherry blossoms in spring, and neither did Jiang Sheng; she remained forever in the cold winter, filled with regret.
It's so good! Although the story isn't very long, the plot and character portrayals are excellent. I can never resist the trope of a seemingly ruthless school bully who's actually kind and upright at heart. The female lead is just so kind! When I was reading, I only glanced at the comments and thought only the female lead had passed away, but I didn't expect the male lead to leave too! 😭😭 I cried so much. I hope Nan Nan and Sheng Sheng will be safe and happy in their next life! 🥺
October 14, 2025. Who understands why I cried so much in the middle of the night? I felt so regretful that the lovers couldn't be together in the end. 😢 Nan Siye truly loves Jiang Sheng so much; from now on, only Jiang Sheng exists in his heart. Jiang Sheng also loves him deeply and will make a point of remembering Nan Siye's birthday. Only she is worthy of Nan Siye's love. Lastly, I wish you all, in the other corner of the world, good health and happiness! 🥺
The writing is delicate and excellent. Both characters encountered their own light in the darkness and strived for a better life, but fate had other plans. This book is truly wonderful.
It's alright. The author writes very delicately; it's a worthwhile campus romance novel. It's the first time I've read a story where the female lead who pays protection money gets bullied, so it's quite refreshing. I look forward to the author's other works and wish the author continued success! 😘
The writing is very detailed and engaging, making you want to read it all at once. The ending is a bit sad, and you feel sorry for Jiang Sheng, but Nan Heye's fate in the end is also awe-inspiring, a tribute to the anti-drug police.
Hey, everyone watch it! I've already watched half of it. The male lead is so considerate, and the female lead is so well-behaved.
The writing is delicate; it's truly a beautiful read. This world is never perfect; what's lacking isn't regret, but rather people who can persevere even after experiencing regret. Regret doesn't hurt, it's just that some people don't cry out in pain.
Very good read, the author's writing is delicate, with many beautiful words and phrases 👍 I couldn't stop crying 😢😢😢 I hope the baby girl and baby boy can reunite in another world...
