This volume has a lot of turmoil and some big reveals.  It kind of feels a bit like monster/ghost of the week, intended with tragic backstories and convoluted backstabbing plots.

There's still some wholesome moments between Xie Lian and Hua Cheng but I wouldn't say no to more.

When we start the Black Water Ghost arc in the previous book, I didn't think it was going to be for me. But, honestly, this has been my favorite addition to the story so far. The mutual pining is insane, the toxic side couple sparked a new obsession for me, and I loved the twist at the end! Great times all around, truly cannot wait for the next volume.
