Overall this story was great. I thought it had a great mix of character relationships and plot/world building. Mo Xi and Gu Mang are great characters and I wish I got to see more of their ending!

dark emotional mysterious

Mo Xi and Gu Mang's relationship feels like a Cigarette After Sex song: 
perfectly imperfect, painful, full of longing and yearning, comforting yet devastating 😢

Although Meatbun said she doesn't think this is one of her best works, I beg to differ. I cried so much reading these 7 volumes. I was literally fighting for my life. All these characters are so ingrained in my brain now, I can't stop thinking about them. 

I do have to say that the ending is a bit disappointing, it felt rushed and unsatisfying almost, but my babies got a HEA and I can live with that. I didn't like the whole thing with
Murong Mengze secretly being a man tho. Meatbun let women be cunning and scheming 😩

The extra also didn't really interest me. I would have wanted more post-canon stories with my boys instead. This is mostly the reason why my rating is pretty low which makes me a little sad because I really love this series... but it is what it is.

Regardless of how broken my memories are, regardless of how much time passes, I’ll keep my love for you in my heart. I’m sorry I can’t stay by your side forever, I’m sorry I can’t tell you everything without reservation.

In the future, I’ll hide things from you, lie to you, and walk alone toward death. I dragged you down and I failed you. I regret it so much. But I’ve never…never once regretted loving you.

Go back, Mo Xi. I hope in the future, just like in my dream, we’ll find each other again in the rain.
