Synopsis

Gentle savior Xi x strong, teary-eyed beauty Mei; Xi-Mei CP

What does it feel like to always chase after someone? You can only ever see his back, and you never catch his eye.

The Guardians of the Sheep Village go from one adventure straight into the next. When a sudden black rain sweeps across the Green Grassland, the leader of its guardians, Pleasant Goat, unexpectedly falls into an illusion while rescuing someone. To save him, Wolffy sets off alone to find the Mirror of Recalling the Past, the sacred relic that can break the illusion. Meanwhile, with no leader, how will Pretty Goat and the others save the residents of the Green Grassland? What kind of story will they embark on?

“Pleasant Goat, if you could save only one, me or the world, which would you choose?”

“Do I really have to choose?”

“Yes. You do.”

“What about you?”

“I’d choose to save the world.”

“I’d choose a world with you in it.”

“Pretty Goat, I’m sorry. Only now do I understand what you meant when you gave me that evening primrose.”

“I just gave it to you on a whim.”

“Really?” The man looked crestfallen.

“No.”

So who is the one whose saintly nature hides a selfish streak? The story blends sweetness and angst, and has its tearjerking moments. It is told from both leads’ perspectives: Mei’s unrequited love in the early chapters leads to personal growth later on, while Xi loves and protects everyone but overlooks the one person who is most special to him. Only later does he realize how special Mei is to him, and gradually show it.

I’m a die-hard fan of the Pleasant Goat and Wolffy series. Includes an amnesia trope, slight OOC, and semi-anthropomorphic characters. All characters are adults.

Ensemble cast, growth, adventure, mutual devotion

Absolutely perfect! Who could have imagined that after Pleasant Goat lost his memory, he would be indifferent to everything except Pretty Goat… Oh my god, it's so good!

I'm so glad I read this book when it was already finished! I devoured it in one go, but it's a shame I didn't follow it with everyone else. The author's writing is never out of character; it's very imaginative, with unexpected plot twists. The relationship between the two little ones, Ximei and Miki, is portrayed very delicately, not in a clichéd way.

This is exceptionally well-written! Reading this story is like watching a new animated series about sheep. A new crisis has arisen on the grasslands, and the main characters embark on a new adventure. Unlike the original series, the brotherly bond between Uncle Grey and Happy Sheep is reduced, while the romantic relationship between Happy and Pleasant Goat is increased.

Xi Yangyang and Mei Yangyang are such a great couple! Xi Yangyang's love for Mei Yangyang is always subconsciously protective and hidden in the details. Mei Yangyang is always so thoughtful and warm. She also gradually grows stronger during the battles! I can only say the author is amazing! Xi Yangyang and Mei Yangyang are amazing! And the author's other book is also very good; I recommend everyone to read it!

It's fantastic! It stays true to each character's original persona without any out-of-character moments. It's a mix of sweet and angsty moments (hehe, but I can totally handle the little bit of angst!), And the relationships between the sheep, the lambs, and the sheep's friendship with Grey Wolf are all portrayed very well! Superb!!!

The story is captivating, and every character is true to their own personality. The bond between Xi Yangyang and Mei Yangyang is truly touching. Mei Yangyang, honestly, I think she's genuinely capable of sacrificing herself for everyone; it's not just any ordinary person, it's simply who she is.

It's an exceptionally good movie, the kind that can bring you to tears. It features the warmth of a sheep's protection, the strength of a beautiful sheep, and the resilience of a happy sheep. Even though he has amnesia, he's still trying hard to remember, and his beliefs remain unchanged despite the amnesia.

The characters are all well-developed and don't feel out of character at all. When Pleasant Goat is down, he doesn't care about anything else but Pretty Goat... (Those who know, know). The plot is very well written and delicate, with a sweet and bittersweet storyline that makes you laugh and cry. The author's imagination is on point, and the details are very well done. It's a very comfortable reading experience, and you'll want to keep reading even after you've finished!
