This is one of the best danmei I've ever read. Especially this volume. However, I have spent the last 70 pages uncontrollably sobbing so there's that. I feel as broken as Gu Mang's mind right now. Also loved that this volume featured Mengze a bit more and started developing her personality more. I can't wait to read the next volume even tho I'm sure I won't be very okay while reading it.

3.5/5stars

alright, alright, the plot twist was pretty damn good

I still think it taking 4 entire volumes to get to where we are right now is overkill, and I still think the first three volumes were boring and didn't make me care very much about what was going on. BUT, this plot twist is pretty good considering it's basically just
Spoilerthe same plot twist as with Itachi from Naruto lol which Itachi's plotline is literally one of my favorites in the entire show and makes him one of my fave fictional characters in general
. I also think that after Gu Meng
Spoilerfinally got back his memories, everything got far more interesting
.

I'm definitely interested to see where this goes considering everyone keeps telling me the ending of this is so incredible. So, I will be continuing, but I doubt this is going to be a top fave or anything like that.

"I promised to give you a home." Mo Xi took hold of his hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing it gently. "I'm sorry, Shixiong. I've made you wait too long."

When I read this story all I know is pain. All I become is pain. All I see is pain. This is at once one of my most beautiful stories and most painful story. Like I haven’t know joy from volume one till now. And who knows what the rest of the volumes have in store for me. I love this story so much and I just want Mo Xi and Gu Mang to know peace and love. This volume ripped my heart all the way out.

Time could not make a collapsed pillar stand tall once more. Its passage would only make broken ruins of what had been a majestic building.

"Shixiong, I'm sorry, I've made you wait too long. I've come to take you home."
