Before I get into details about the things that made me love this volume, let's first get this out of the way. [Because I really hate it when people think that this book series is just a love story. It's not. It's so much more than that.] But the romance part is this volume is definitely swoon-worthy, giggling-like-a-school-girl-worthy, and screaming-like-a-banshee-worthy. So, HuaLian nation, we won, here.
Now, onto my favorite parts:
The plot twist and how it was revealed was definitely jaw-dropping. I got chills at the exact same time Xie Lian did when he found out. I also love how the backstory of the villain in this story is not too generic. It's not the same as the backstory of any other villains you've seen or read about before. Like it's too nuanced that it will make you question yourself. It did make me question myself on how I would have become if those things happened to me. Would I have become a villain or would I have ended up a righteous woman the way Xie Lian did? It's annoying and at the same time really amazing that I have questioned myself and my principles on many occasions during the time that I've read the volumes in this book series. When you get a chance to read this book, I hope you question yourself as well. What would you have done? Would you have become the villain or the hero of the story?
