These are probably some of my favourite spicy scenes, they're very creative.

Flying sex was a blast

This was a fun read, definitely very spicy.

Ashen really dragged Lu through the entire plot of the book with her kicking and screaming the whole time.
I was surprised there wasn't really wasn't twists, it was all laid out in the beginning and that's what they did. I think everyone besides Ashen had little to no motivation for what they were doing so that was odd.

Honestly, not a bad romantasy read. Pretty straightforward and checks all the boxes. Reapersplain was my favourite random word.

I ended up finding quite a few lines funny and I enjoyed Ashen's rizz. My only major complaint is how quickly the characters get together and are confessing their undying love for eachother, but I think I have a strong preference for slow burns. The ending made me a little confused since our fmc seems to be doubting her man with very little context after all the dramatics. I know a naked lady just appeared and hugged him, but he's making eye contact with Lu and seemed upset the whole scene so there's probably something more going on. Lu losing her voice is also probably good, I miss the journal. She was too nice and lovey after they got together

I didn't pull as many quotes from this book because it's dripping with drama and plot. To summarize the events,

Mo Ran puts on his costume and breaks up the wedding between Song Qiutong and Nangong Si, and reveals that Ye Wangxi is a woman.

Immediately following these events we get to what I affectionately refer to as 'where the plot starts in 2ha':

Nangong Liu is revealed to have sacrifced his wife's heart, Rong Yan, in exchange for his holy weapon. Chu Wanning, at 15, discovered it and let him go, leaving the Rufeng sect to join Sisheng Peak.

Nangong Liu had killed his shizun, Luo Fenghua, to take back over the Rufeng sect two years after Luo Fenghua staged a coup against Nangong Liu's younger brother (very evil - plucked enough eyes to fill 3 carriages), Nangong Xu, who had stolen the ring that grants the title of sect leader after their father passed of a qi deviation.

Xu Shuanglin, Ye Wangxi's foster father, turns out to be Nangong Xu, and opens a Space Gate (Not quite a Space-Time Gate of Life and Death) to bring back Luo Fenghua's body. Nangong Liu cannibalizes it in the hopes of curing the moonlight curse put on him, and after setting Apocalyptic fire to the Rufeng Sect, they exit stage, with Luo Fenghua's spirit core.

After all of that, Mo Ran and Chu Wanning take 49 refugees from the inferno to Flying Flower Isle where they end up selling spiritual haitang flowers and butterflies to Third Lady Sun in order to pay for the refugees to stay.
Mo Ran discovers the brocade pouch containing their entwined hair from back in Butterfly Town when Chu Wanning and him got married.
Mo Ran pulls out all the Aladdin moves and brings Chu Wanning up on to his sword (not that sword) with the intention of helping him get over his fear of heights, but ends up confessing.

Seeing Mo Ran silent, Chu Wanning felt all the more lost and scattered. He dipped his head. "I'm not good-looking."
Mo Ran stared.
"Not as good-looking as you." As Chu Wanning muttered quietly, he suddenly felt a warm hand brush over his cheek. He heard Mo Ran sigh, gentler than the moonlight.
"Do me a favor -- look into my eyes?"
"Your eyes?" Chu Wanning asked, confused.
Mo Ran's gaze was warm and mild. In his irises was reflected the image of a man in white robes. "Do you see him?" he said. "The most beautiful person in the whole world."
