I'm very glad that the end of the book had

Xie Lian, Hua Cheng, Mu Qing and Feng Xing (and I guess the state preceptor, Mei Nianqing) battling Jun Wu together. Xie Lian's little inner circle warms my heart.

He gazed at Xie Lian. "If your dream is to save the common people, then my dream is only you. "

Relying on his memory, Xie Lian asked with a trembling voice, "But...you won't...be able to rest in peace...like this...?"

"I pray to never rest in peace," Hua Cheng replied.

page 116

Hua Cheng exploding into butterflies will always make me cry, but reading was a lot easier this time knowing what was coming.

After much hesitation, he decided to be blunt. "Why is the evil qi...internal? It's...it's coming from inside your body. "

page 159

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the extras this time around. I was under the impression they weren't very good when I read them in 2021, but they're so sweet. While tgcf is definitely not smutty, the book is still very clear on how exactly Hualian's relationship progresses.
