good, I was really caught off guard by the 10 year gap and student x teacher relationship?? It's not bad, just a lil shocking.

If I could give this book more than five stars I would! It is beautifully written and paced, the adventure and fantasy elements are well laid out and interesting, the characters are complex and draw you in. I’m so dedicated to this adventure and cannot wait to start book two!

I wish I could read this in the original Chinese because the translation leaves a lot to be desired. There doesn’t seem to have been any effort made to make the translation enjoyable to read. That on top of cardboard flat characters made for a pretty bad read.

FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR SANITY PLEASE TAKE THE TRIGGER WARNINGS SERIOUS!!! This book is no joke. It will leave you traumatized and crying for days but if you manage to pull through it might just change your brain chemistry. It did change mine, as I am still thinking about it 2 years after reading the fan translation (in a positive way). There are very graphic rape scenes so be aware of that, but the story is about SO much more and the ending won't let you down. The age difference between the main couple is
10 years at the beginning of the story with the younger one being 16, but they don't have any sexual interactions during that time and the younger one is pursuing the older one in the end. In my opinion it is not as bad as some people make it out to be.

The author wrote the most tragic scenes (remember: yes, it can and wil always get worse), but will make up for it with comedy and romantic bits that made me want to run up my walls because I want what they have (minus the suffering). If you don't mind the triggers, please do yourself a favor and give Mo Ran and Chu Wanning a chance!

No matter how you look at it, the main pairing is problematic. But I’m here for the DRAMA 💅

But seriously, the story is fine. The tone is an odd mix of humor, melodrama, and “dark” themes. Definitely not my cup of tea in terms of romance (again, problematic!) , but the whole past/present thing has got me interested! See content warnings.
