In this grand game of self-redemption, whether you can tear off the labels and complete your self-resistance depends entirely on yourself."

    The first book is truly well-written; the prince is insightful and clear-headed about life, and the characters are all very charismatic. It was also heart-wrenching. The second book has a very novel concept of time, and Lin Qian's writing needs no further introduction. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I've heard there will be a sequel. It's definitely worth reading!
