“I want to hold an umbrella over Shizun for as long as I live.”

The character development! Jun Taixian will never be forgiven, but Mo Ran 2.0 deserves everything good. The genuine care and acts of service he's showing to Chu Wanning are everything.

I think 2ha has definitely been one of my favorite danmeis to read, but I feel like the way it's localized is what made this volume feel a little dull compared to others. Technically, this would take place in between climatic scenes, but since this isn't the webnovel... it doesn't really.

I read other reviews and noticed most of the lower ones are due to nothing happening in this volume. I wouldn't say that is necessarily true. Mo Ran definitely becomes a much more enjoyable character as he's grown even more since the end of volume 3. Volume 4 also gives more insight on Chu Wanning's perspective (without his pining for Mo Ran being awkward) following the five years he missed.

I liked seeing their feelings for each other developing and really cannot wait for when they realize it's mutual! It's also nice seeing Mo Ran form good relationships with the people who died in his previous life.

While nothing major happened, I like how they've (Mo Ran, Chu Wanning, Xue Meng) started to question things such as the fake Gouchen. (Especially Mo Ran considering it's linked to his past life... I definitely know nothing...) For more comedic questions: the last little bit with Xue Meng and Mei Hanxue's two faced-ness.

Overall: I don't think it compares to volume 3, but I think it's unfair to judge it like that completely when every volume is meant to just flow into the next one naturally. I guess that's just the reality with making danmei webnovels into physical books.

I will rip out my heart, shred it, grind it and make lipstick for my dear Chu Wanning only for him to throw it away after holding it in his hands for 2 seconds. I would be grateful for that 2 seconds.

The book made me cry more than my mathematics exam. I am livid and want to inject it in my veins, no, in my soul. I would be 100% willing to burn away my entire happiness for Chu Wanninng to have 1 second of complete happiness without a doubt on his self-worth. Chu Wanning is the darling of my heart and the pain Mo Ran felt made me cry tears of misery. I cried in the depths of the darkness of the night and begged for there to be a world where this too felt something less painful.

I have cursed mindlessly at my screen each time Mo Ran contradicted himself in his opinions from the previous books. So, there is a lot of sweeet character development.

I love each fragment of this book so much it is maddening. I no longer entirely hate Mo Ran. His views on his past massacre are so interesting and heartbreaking.

Most of this book is spent developing the relationship between Mo Ran and Chu Wanning to be more romantic which leads to goofy hijinks where both of them realize the extent of their affections including; Chu Wanning's sexuality crisis and Mo Ran's commitment to providing for his shizun. The story has many soft moments that had me grinning, I really enjoyed this book after all the angst from the previous books. (Once again Chu Wanning my beloved <3 )
