I'd like a bit more nuanced take on the way the heavens function ngl.
but it's a good ending to the series and the romance is chef's kiss. I miss the sex scenes :( not only from the horny point of view but also just because it's important to XL's cultivation, I'd like to see how it made him feel to risk/give up all that for HC. you know?

I enjoyed the series enormously and can't stop thinking about it all. I never expected to find some of the best writing in a random Chinese gay novel ngl. (maybe except the phrase *didn't know whether to laugh or cry*. I will never hear the phrase the same.)

This was the most beautiful ending to this series I could have asked for. It was heartbreaking at times, such as this line that made me bawl my eyes out:

“You said…you would never leave me.”
“All banquets must come to an end. But I will never leave you.”


I cried so much, but the sad tears turned to happy ones. Not to mention, the extra chapters were so funny and sweet. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to move on from this series, and I’m glad I was able to go on this journey with the true love story that belongs to Hualian.

A great ending to a great series. I loved the additional extras that acted like a bunch of epilogues:)
