“From the moment he discovered he liked Bai Jinyi, he had never felt regret or pain over it, even when he felt lost.”

My favorite part of this book was watching the relationship between Jiang Shen and Bai Jinyi grow and change with them. There's something truly beautiful in how they never shy away from each other. They communicate clearly and are 100% sure that they'll remain together, no matter what fate throws their way. Little Swan is as sweet as ever, but he's also incredibly brave and certain of his feelings.

Xingzhi, Jiang Shen's shixiong, turned out to be one of my favorite characters. I love his no-nonsense approach to everything he does, his appreciation for hard work, and how he ended up having a lot more in common with Jiang Shen than he expected. It's adorable to think that their passion for dance intertwines their lives, and to see how Xingzhi sees himself in Jiang Shen. I can tell that he cares.

I'm not sure if it's the writing style or the translation, but some parts were genuinely painful to read, and I had to push myself to finish them; it felt inconsistent with the first book, almost as if it were written by a completely different author. I also wasn't a big fan of the extras; they felt even more out of place in terms of writing style. Additionally, there were occasional abrupt time skips that left me feeling confused.

Even so, I genuinely appreciate the author for writing a story so full of love and hope.

More like a 3.5/5 ⭐. Where can I sign up for The Little Swan Ecological Protection Organization?

“Wherever your heart goes, your love will find a home.”

I love these characters so much. All the ones from the previous volume and the ones introduced here: Shen Junyi, Jing Luoyun, Liu Xingzhi, Song Xin, Ai Lai. This story is just so special and I want everyone to read it.

The confession😭

“Bai Jinyi.” Jiang Shen’s voice was slightly husky as he maintained his kneeling posture, his words soft and trembling, “I love dancing, just like how I love this rich, fertile earth, the joy of harvest, the drizzle in the mountains, and my friends and family.”

“But I love you even more.” He swallowed, each word clear and direct. “My soul is forever unable to be free, because it belongs to you.”

Please do yourself a favour and read this duology💜💜💜

FLAT AS THE FLOOR. Alla fine del libro l'autore descrive questa storia come "un'utopia". E credo che abbia ragione. Dai personaggi che hanno tutto quello di cui hanno bisogno senza faticare (perché sono dei geni che vincono sempre, o sono ricchi, o conoscono qualcuno ricco, o gli altri gli fanno dei favori...), alla vita senza ostacoli per arrivare ai loro sogni. Per me è stata una storia un po' insipida, nonostante secondo altri sia dolce. La struttura della classica storia dell'eroe ha come punto focale un problema che lui deve sorpassare per avere un felici e contenti. Qui niente. La trama é la crescita dei due personaggi? Eppure il finale non ha lo spettacolo dei 18 anni di Jiang Shen, il finale è stato ritrovare un amico nella Mongolia che voleva starsene in pace (e viene convinto con nemmeno 3 pagine a tornare al balletto). THE END. Ok descrivere storie dolci e piene di ispirazione e con pochi drammi, ma se non mi fai un contrasto con qualcosa all'inizio per me non ha senso leggere questa storia se non c'è 'struggle' per poter raggiungere qualcosa, qualunque cosa. Storie di persone ordinarie? Le persone ordinarie soffrono tanto, si dovrebbe iniziare da lì per poi dimostrare loro e al lettore che il mondo non fa completamente schifo, tra i momenti di sofferenza ci sono quelli dolci, che sembrano ancora più dolci quando sei abituato solo a soffrire. Insomma forse era lo stile dell'autore, il tipo di storia, come é stata eseguita la trama... ma mi sono annoiata.

Loved it

I couldn't be more happy. The ending was satisfying and wholesome. I truly love these characters and reading about how they grow and develop made the whole novel worth it.
