only got up to chapter 81 before i could no longer access the translation *cri*

HOWEVER, this book was so complex, although it was very heavy on the politics (and i knew going into it, but i don't think i was still prepared lmao). i do feel as if the author had a habit of dumping a TON of information (ALL THOSE NAMES. OMG), which to be honest... my brain could not handle at all...

xiao chiye and shen zechuan are both such brilliant characters, it was refreshing to see such an interesting enemies to lover storyline! characters who act like they hate each other in public but are secretly lovers <333 IT WAS VERY INTERESTING. also so cute to see xiao chiye being so soft and caring over shen zechuan please i am very much invested in them.

hopefully i can finish this one at some point in the future, but i also did look up spoilers so i'm not sure LOL from what i saw, shit rly does hit the fan and wow good for them ! good for them.

i have many thoughts and even more feelings but i don’t have the words to sufficiently articulate them, so i’m just gonna say that this novel made me worse but it also fixed me <3 i’m tucking it securely into my ribcage right next to my heart where it will stay
