   This is one of my favorite books in the series. I remember that there were too many flashbacks, which disrupted the writing rhythm a bit, but the way the main characters interacted in the past and present was quite cute... The ending of the important supporting characters was rather heavy, which made the ending and the epilogue somewhat sad to read.

   Curator note

   I wholeheartedly agree… The author is particularly adept at writing about the emotions of psychologically healthy adults. The fact that both characters were quick to speak their minds was very comforting. The entire story was relatively smooth, and I felt warm inside after reading it. [Heart emojis]

   It's still being serialized. The author's writing is extremely smooth, and the transitions between timelines are natural. The author gradually reveals the characters of the main characters as the plot unfolds, which I particularly love. The emotional intensity is extremely high; neither of the main characters are perfect, but while reading, you won't feel like condemning either of them because they are genuinely adorable.

   My heart ached as I read near the end; it was so well-written. Everyone can only accompany you for a part of the journey. How many partings did Li Dongqing experience in his seventeen years? Fortunately, Ning Xueman and Li Dongqing's hands will always be held tightly, never to be separated again, until the snow clears and the sun shines again.

   This is a very coherent Zerg story with a well-developed world-building by the author. The romance between the main characters develops naturally, and I found watching their tumultuous relationship particularly enjoyable. The ending felt a bit rushed; it seemed the author finished writing what they truly wanted to write and ended the story too hastily. I wanted to see more of their love story TT…

Even when it came to jumping off a building, he was a step behind everyone else. But wait... The good news was that the person who jumped hadn't died. The bad news was that the fall had damaged his brain and turned him crazy. With a pair of vivid green contact lenses on, he declared, “I am Fu Yao, Demon Venerable of the Nine Ruins Abyssal Realm. Who are you?” Su Mingjun: ...A human from Earth. Coming 3.4kFavorites3kClicks/ch3.3kGifts

   This is one of my favorite short stories by Xi Yan. The 200,000 words clearly explain the plot, with the male lead returning his affections later on. The middle part is slightly bittersweet. If you enjoy dramatic tension, don't miss it; it's very cute…

    Curator note

    I absolutely loved the author's writing style; two of the main characters were incredibly endearing. The ensemble cast was exceptionally well-developed, making for a truly immersive reading experience, and I even felt a slight sense of loss at the end. Despite the main plot taking up a significant portion of the story, the emotional intensity remained high—I loved it!
