And like, I simply adore Xie Lian... The fact that he tries so hard to be kind & stick to his morals is awesome, especially after learning more about his past!? And he gets some really emotional + badass moments in this volume (though, the crowning badass scene goes to Hua Cheng at the end of ch21 👀 iykyk) ??
The new characters introduced are amazing too! Big fan of Shi Qingxuan (their friendship w Xie Lian!!), and I can't wait to see more of Jun Wu & Lang Qianqiu specifically...
Aaaaa I dunno !!! I loved volume 1, but I LOVE volume 2... This book is just so quality! Like you can just tell it's been crafted w so much love... This shit is breathtaking bro 🤧 I have absolutely no complaints-- I'm out here about to start kickin my feet & giggling bc of just how much I liked this lmaoo 😭 Heartbroken abt having to wait for the next one to come out cause this one has me 100% hooked on this story now ❤ 10/10 fr

It's hard to discuss Volume 2 of Heaven Official's Blessing without spoiling Volume 1. We continue to follow Xie Lian immediately after the events of the first book - as expected, since this was a serialized web novel that has now been split into multiple books as opposed to an actual series written in parts and over an extended period of time. The Crown Prince is still dealing with the consequences of his actions at Banyue Pass when the Emperor asks him to complete a secretive mission to rescue a missing heavenly official who was least heard from outside of the ghost city run by Hua Cheng. Xie Lian is the only person the Emperor thinks can a) be trusted and b) survive a potential run-in with Hua Cheng during the course of the investigation.
I loved this book almost as much as the first one. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian have the best interactions - who knew rolling dice could be so hot?! - and the second half of the novel is finally diving into Xie Lian's backstory from before he ascended the first time, giving us our very first opportunity to really get to know Mu Qing and Feng Xin and the tumultuousness of their relationship from the start. That, along with the introduction of Rong Rong, has me excited to learn more about how we got to this point with Xie Lian's good luck turned bad (I have theories), Mu Qing's seeming hatred of Xie Lian, Feng Xin's seeming indifference towards Xie Lian, and what exactly drove Hua Cheng to be Hua Cheng.
As ever, the character interactions are second to none, the dialogue is hilarious, and the story-telling maintains all of Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù's signature wit and skill. My only complaint is that I really, really wanted more Hua Cheng, which leads to the fact that I am so excited for Volume 3!
