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.
