   Such a well-written and satisfying story. It's rare to see a GL novel author so skillfully manage to balance the main plot against a grand backdrop with the progression of the romantic relationships. And at over a million words, it doesn't feel redundant at all (especially for someone like me who usually only reads 500,000 words; I even felt the ending was a bit rushed (I didn't get enough). Each couple has their own unique charm. Needless to say, Shen Wu and Pei Boyan's relationship feels natural and comfortable; Yi Bao is absolutely captivating 😚, I personally really love the beautiful, strong, and battle-hardened trope; and the relationship between Zhou Minglan and his aunt is incredibly sweet (even the character names have a Hong Kong style).

   It's a beautiful read; I often sighed while reading it. The author captures the slow, blossoming emotions in Tao Tianran, all because of the alleyway. The love on both sides is enduring, a gentle, ever-flowing stream. The author's writing is delicate; they truly capture the serene, melancholic atmosphere of "Rainy Alley." 😳 I love it.
