Wow, when I read people saying act 4 was so heartbreaking and traumatising I didn't really believe it was going to be so hard but wow, just give my poor baby Xie Lian a break, he has been in constant pain. Going just through one or two of those things would have left me lifeless forever yet he still grows out of it. It's fascinating.

That moment when it's all in caps repeating the same words in that chapter left me pondering about life for a few hours wjfjskjrw I have also grown to appreciate much more Fengxin's character out of his former friends and servants. You did your best, boy *hugs all of the main cast because they truly need a big one*

I would say this book is the heaviest yet in the series, but manages to still leave the reader with hope. The final pieces of this giant puzzle are coming together at long last, and we finally get to know the last piece of Xie Lian’s tortured past, letting us understand what drove him to (and redeemed him from) these actions that had seemed incongruous from his present self.
