I recommend starting with Volume Three, "When the Dinner Is Done," since it better suits most readers' pace and patience. The first two volumes are a different kind of buildup, and I'm taking my time with them. Here's the synopsis:
I know I can't write a synopsis, because this story is so complicated and tangled. It challenges time and space, gambles with human hearts, and weaves a net from human relationships. Here you'll find schemes within schemes, tricks within tricks, love tangled in a thousand threads, darkness and romance, unrequited love, love triangles and quadrangles. Sadly, there's no harem, though you can catch the scent of lilies in bloom. But most of all, beneath the weighty prose lie bloodshed and ugliness that can hardly be spoken of. This is a perfectly calm river, with countless man-eating fish lurking beneath its surface.
Everyone, dive in deep or stay away.
In short, this is the story of a matchmaking party of ten around a dinner table that turns into a cannibalistic battle to the death.
The style is strange and eerie, with a slow burn that simmers over a low flame. The bloodshed doesn't begin until 100,000 words in, and then there's no stopping it. If you want gore, wait patiently until Volume Three. If you want to solve the mystery along the way, start from the beginning.
Lanlan, I am little ha/the cat, do you still remember me? I suddenly thought of you today, and I tried my best to get my account back. How are you doing lately? I wonder if you will come up and take a look. I still miss the years when we wrote together:) I left a message for you on Penguin, but I haven't seen you reply again. Hope everything is well with you! Love you!
Sister Lan tide, I have been waiting for you for a year. Although many things are no longer what they used to be, I hope you can come back. We are all waiting for you.
Bu Gengwen's first anniversary!
This article hasn't been updated yet... Sad
I haven't graduated from college in 2013, and now I'm about to graduate from graduate school... I miss you~
Hahahaha, it's another year
If Yang and Bai weren't together in the end, I wouldn't believe in love T^T
Although I know it's a trap T^TT^T
I did the math, there are seven in total, for example, excluding the three senior brothers, it's just right →_→
I feel sorry for the three seniors. Why do I feel like they are lying? →_→ But there must be a connection. I really can't guess who the ab in He Zhong is. Could it be her and Yang? Or her and Wei? I don't know if it's intentional by the author, but I always feel that Bai's presence is a little bit brotherly. He's either a big boss or cannon fodder.
