Oh my god. I can't believe the stars on this book are over 1.... yeah the ending of the book was fine. I didn't hate it but was expecting more but the short stories are horrible. Disgusting even. There is a very graphic rape scene involving the two main characters and Lan Zhan is the one who rapes Wei..... this is agasint everything that Lan Zhan stands for and is SO out of character it is actually so revolting. I am so upset that Mo Xiang Tong Xiu built up Lan Zhan for FOUR WHOLE BOOKS just to throw away it?? Oh it makes me so mad. The rest was eh. Please do not read the short stories just quit when it says end of book.

The series as a whole is great. But sadly the final volume is one of the most underwhelming ones. The main story mostly gets wrapped up in a confrontation that's very exposition heavy, monologue heavy and not super satisfying. 

I do like the way most of the character arcs end though. 

About half of the book is various bonus stories taking place all over the chronology. Some of these are cute, some are **spicy** but really, most of them are pretty skippable and do not add all that much.

One of the extra chapter is just rape and jokes about. I wish I could run myself over with truck so I don’t have to remember this. I should have seen this coming after what happened in volume 4. I will shame you if you pretend it didn't happen. Let's not cherry pick. 

I feel like I must atone for reading this. I witnessed a crime being committed. I have now seen things I shouldn't. I feel like I should be put in jail. MXTX better be put in the same cell as me for making me go through this.

If the ending of the series had been included in the last volume it likely wouldn't have felt as rushed but as is the pacing felt off since it picked up right were volume 4 ended.  I am a bit salty about 
the Nie clan head dude being the puppet master instead of Zewu-jun since it's a reveal that ends up meaning nothing in the grand scheme of things whereas if Lan Zhan's brother was the baddie it could have gone in a more interesting and compelling direction.
...  Oh well.

Since the majority of this volume was extras that is what the rating I am giving will reflect.  Some of them were fine but I was not expecting the horny smut escapades that occurred and the rape-y vibes were prevalent in the non/dub-con scenes.  There was some domestic bliss I suppose but even that felt like a superficial means to get them back in bed.
