"I promise you won't find another person more sincere than me in this world"
I would like to apologise in advance for the person I will be as I read the remaining 7 volumes because the chokehold this have on me: ! ! ! ! !
All I will say is, this gave my stone cold hopeless romantic but ace heart the feels, the flutters, I'm squealing, kicking my feet in the air, and the slow burn OMG! It will be the death of me BUT I'M LIVING FOR IT!
4 SILVER BUTTERFLIES AND MAPLE LEAVES!

I actually really enjoyed this, oh ma gosh. I actually didn’t think I’d like it, but I was so very wrong! I love the two main characters, I love the plot, and I love how the whole fantasy system works in this. The writing wasn’t what I’m used to, so it took a while for me to start speeding through it, but I finally got used to it and I just started speeding through this. I don’t wanna write a long review, so I’m just gonna say that it’s 5/5 stars and I’m so excited to keep going with the series!

The added details or differences from thr animated show were nice to see and it definitely made me want to continue on. I'm on book three now and I'm not disappointed.

I dont generally write reviews that are fleshed out beyond perhaps flailing or whatever but wow this book shocked me and I think got me back into reading
This was my first danmei and it is A LOT. I was thankful for the glossary of names and pronunciation at the back but dont let the host of characters or unknown words deter you as this story, while dense, is so full of wonderful characters amidst a beautiful backdrop of places. (there are a lot of beautiful and adorable illustrations peppered throughout the novel too to highlight this) The culture is richly woven into the story and while I felt like a dumb nunce half the time trying to understand who was who I'm glad I persisted.
I will say if you read this that it is obviously translated to English and the first third or so of the book does suffer from jilted and awkward writing. I'm not sure whether thats the translation's error or the fact that perhaps the story wasnt fully realized at that point and the author was unsure of where to go. Either way it stopped being apparent after awhile not only because the story is so engrossing but also because the writing did get much better.
This story is a slow burn to the max. S L O W. I'm very excited to see where this goes into book two. I adore Xie Lian; what a delightfully captivating protagonist. And I won't say much on Hua Cheng other than AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *flails*
