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*

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.

I have only felt this depressed one other time, and that was when I finished A Little Life. I don’t think I can physically write a review for this one.

Check out the trigger warnings if you ever wanna read this series…

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.
