After putting off this book at chapter 30 something because of my reading slump, I finally picked it up again and finished it in less than a month omg (it was worth it btw).
At first, reading the (if you can call that) begining of their pining, I truly feel like I wouldn't <I>feel</I> anything the moment they got together. I became hopeless that this wouldn't feel as good as when I finished jwqs, but boy oh boy am I wrong! because the moment they <I>pine</I> for real, my heart won't stop aching with every fluff and every angst I read about them. I became very emotional and fully submerged into them that I kinda lose interest when they briefly or not-so briefly separate.
The time skip was truly perfect that my heart ached even more for them! it was 183 chapters, but I felt like it was just as long as jwqs, just not as slow.
glad to know that they're truly soulmate, meant for each other in every fucking lifetime, even in death. thank fuck omg.
it's saddening me how Li Zhu ended up lonely in his emperor path or whatever, I wished for PDL to at least let him see his Jiejie for the last time before saying goodbye forever 🥹
oh also, that "plot twist" was definitely something lmao. had I not read that part at night, I'd probably SCREAM loud as fuck omg. I thought they'd get their short story, since pdl did mention it in one of the extras author's note, but since i don't really care about them and was only a tiny bit curious, I don't feel like it's a loss, truly.
I hope PDL a very happy day, I hope she can stop undermining her works in the author's note, because I've seen international fans be saddened about this part of her notes, and how I think all of her everything about the works are just wonderful and spectacular! truly love this book, thank you for gracing our eyes PDL!
