   The author did a very thorough job of separating the protagonist from their family of origin. Their choices towards each other were also very firm, and the romantic storyline was also very engaging.

   The author is truly a master writer! The characters are well-developed and distinct, the storyline is complete, the plot is engaging and logically consistent. The protagonist's inner monologues are particularly profound, easily drawing the reader in and making them feel deeply connected. Most importantly, the most touching aspect throughout is the unwavering commitment of the lovers to each other, overcoming all obstacles to reach their shared destiny. And there are no "inferior" female characters who maliciously sabotage others' relationships, which is truly rare and precious in today's society! Although I personally prefer tragedies, I was afraid this story would end tragically, but thankfully, the lovers are united in the end. Thank you, author! I love Jiang Fanyin and Tong Qian so much!

Until one day, a downpour trapped them together. Shen Tingwan asked, “Do you 95.8kFavorites93.2kClicks/ch191.1kGifts

   Having finished *Dark Addiction*, I came across this one, and it's just as good. The biggest surprise was the cameo appearances of the main characters from both books, which were very interesting. From An Chang to Wen Ran, one can roughly sense the author's background and values. In short, one can infer that the author is a very kind, independent person with a complete personality. Thank you for telling so many stories with such beautiful words. See you in the next book! [Rainbow emoji]

   I stayed up all night again to finish watching another story about two people making a steadfast choice. It was really good, and I loved it. Although their path together was arduous and long, they only had each other at the end. Even during the years they were apart, Yu Min didn't settle for anyone. Lin Baixin, deeply influenced by her family background, followed her heart after gaining emotional maturity and steadfastly continued to protect him until they finally got married. Their love, though late, was beautiful and warm. The author wrote very well; the inner monologues were very powerfully depicted. Thank you! [Rainbow fart]

6. 6 婆 Swaying (GL) 婆娑（GL） Snow at Dusk暮成雪Baihe (GL)219k WordsCompleted How much misunderstanding can love endure, surviving a snow-filled winter? How deep a bond can a single sentence tear apart, leaving us farther from each other than strangers? The more our love once burned like a flame, the more certain it was to be snuffed out by the wind. Sometimes the truth cuts too deep, and someone has no choice but to lie. If time could turn back, what could I do? Find what you never said, but wanted. If I had never let go, years from now, would you blame me, hate me, or 7.6kFavorites30.1kClicks/ch591Gifts

   Curator note

   Whether rereading it more than a decade ago or today, I still think the author writes exceptionally well, portraying the characters with extreme subtlety and vividly depicting their emotional entanglements and inner struggles. I love it! Who would have thought someone would rate a novel from twenty years ago? And for me, this is the second time I've read it. The first time was probably over a decade ago, shortly after graduation and starting work. Now I'm over forty and firmly believe I only love women. The worldview conveyed by novels from that era may not be suitable for today. Like myself, after rereading it, I'm conflicted that Yun Lie and Ling Shang's only intimate acts together are kissing. They loved each other their whole lives but never completely surrendered themselves to one another. Love and the body should be one; I've always firmly believed that. Physical fusion is the instinct of love. I don't want Platonic love; I want real, tangible kisses, caresses, and penetration—complete possession with relative freedom! It's late, and I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. Anyway, no one will read this, so that's it!
