The book starts off with stalker-thriller energy.

Hua Cheng's pottery barn is unveiled by Mu Qing and Feng Xing. Xie Lian is just blushing and going "ooooh I have a fan." the whole time hehe.

The later 2/3 of the book goes over

The white-clothed Calamity, White No-Face, Wuming, and Xie Lian's second ascension.

Help me
Help me, help me, help me.
Help me, help me, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help me!
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS!
Why can't I die?
WHY CAN'T I DIE?!

page 256

The book concludes with the

creation of Ruoye

,

rise of the white-clothed Calamity

and the

death of Wuming.

The beginning of the book warmed me up for the chill I was going to experience reading arc 4. It was so painful, yet so good. Xie Lian is such a well written character. I’m curious when White  No-Face’s identity will be revealed.

i no joke cried the entirety of book 4 the first time i read it and i cried rereading it this time as well

this is just a heartbreaking read. with like no moments of happiness. while reading when you think things couldn’t possibly get worse it does. 

something i noticed in reread

when i first read it i didn’t realize that hua cheng was forced to watch xie lian get stabbed. i just knew he saw what happened. anyways so that’s why in book 5 he’s freaks out at xie lian in the like weaponry room because he thinks xie lian will stab himself to get out

i think the thing that makes this specific book so sad is how like realistic it is. like take away the immortality and god stuff and it’s really a story of how intense poverty can complete change you as a person and how fragile the human will is. 

anyways shout out to the hat man you’re a real one
