“Gu Yunchi, if there’s a next life, I will definitely be a healthy kid in a blessed family, growing up in happiness. And then, I will be with you forever.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ five out out of five stars .ᐟ.ᐟ
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ plot ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
the plot of imprisoned in eternal night reminds me so much of those vertical cdramas that pop up as tiktok ads. so cliche it’s not even funny but oddly entertaining enough that i just blank out and binge. the whole premise of this danmei is that a beta child was adopted by rich family to replace their deceased son. for nefarious purposes the beta is forced to undergo surgery that implants omega glands—the beta is turned into an omega and the perfect chess piece an a arranged marriage to an even wealthier and more powerful alpha.
in the past i tried to read the authors the first novel in this same universe (eternities still unsaid till you love me) but did not make it past a few chapters because the plot wasn’t catching my attention & i’m actually not the biggest fan of alpha x alpha in omegaverse. sue me but i love me a good cliche especially if it’s done right. and you don’t get more cliche than this.
i feel like that’s why this danmei worked so well for me. it was trope-y, it was cliche through and through while also being full of plot twists.
iien is only 85 chapters but it still managed to have many different ‘arcs’ and was fleshed out well. i never once got bored, the author knew when to stop lingering and when it was time to progress the story.
i haven’t read many dogblood danmei in the past but i was completely locked in from the first chapter. i’m definitely going to have to read more because i constantly felt excited to pick my kindle back up. there was so many reviews that said this was super angsty but,,,i didn’t think this was that angsty??? the angst could have been worse tbh but i thought it was a good amount and that the angst did not overshadow the warm & fuzzy feeling i got from reading this
i don’t want to get too spoiler-y with the plot but i did thoroughly enjoy it. so much scheming and shady backstabbings happens but i think what makes the plot never get too outrageous or draggy is because there was a heavy focus on the relationship & guwen were lovely enough to make getting through all that worth it
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ characters ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
╰┈➤. wen ran
he must be protected at all costs. seriously, the amount of suffering he went through is insane and despite all that he remains such a sweet & selfless character. in fact he’s too selfless of a character. to a point where i wanted to shake him on occasion because he’s drowning in guilt and disgust for things he isn’t he even responsible for. watching him grow as a character and how he finally got his happy ending was so so worth the pain.
also we need more outwardly down bad shou’s. he was such a yearner & it’s always refreshing because i dislike in danmei where the love feels imbalance, like you can clearly tell the MC doesn’t feel halfway as strongly as the ML does.
╰┈➤. gu yunchi
yknow, i was always waiting for the shoe to drop. i was waiting for him to do something…scummy? but he wasn’t a scum ML. no, he was a pathetic loverboy who did have a sharp tongue but he never did anything to hurt wen ran, not purposely. in fact he was doing everything to protect him. miscommunication galore happened in this novel but despite all that he was so sweet with wen ran.
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ pairing ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
╰┈➤. guwen my babies 💔 i didn’t cry reading this but i did tear up and it was mostly at the cute moments because i was happy wen ran & gu yunchi were happy. they were hilarious and adorable and the mutual devotion they had for each other??? i’m almost sad we didn’t get more extras of guwen being cuties
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ final thoughts ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
read iien. do it if you like omegaverse. if you like sunshine x grumpy. if like a heavy dose of angst & a heavier dose of sweetness. if you like lowkey messy but entertaining side characters. read this for 339, gu yunchi’s robot who is arguably the best part of this whole danmei. i don’t care, he was my third favorite character behind wen ran & gu yunchi. read this for a beautiful love story. just read it <3 .ᐟ.ᐟ

I really, really liked this, probably the only ABO Danmei that I’ve genuinely enjoyed reading from start to finish. I was completely immersed in the story and never once felt bored. There were moments that hit me hard emotionally that I just wanted to curl up and cry. It made me feel a lot of things.
Even with all the misunderstandings, past traumas, and family drama—things that should have been frustrating—it never felt like too much. Somehow, it just worked. The second half of the book did feel a bit rushed in some places, but at the same time, I wouldn’t have wanted them to prolong the separation either. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, dragging it out wouldn’t have made sense. I’ve said it before, I don’t like it when MLs are forced to grovel excessively for things they didn’t do. I’m just not a fan of that trope. So, for me, the way everything was resolved made sense.
I haven’t read Eternities Still Unsaid Till You Love Me, so I can’t compare, but wow this book was absolutely worth the sleep I lost over it. It had its flaws, but none of them took away from how much I enjoyed it.

Picked up this novel on a whim and ended up enjoying it more than expected. It's an ABO story with a ton of angst. Get your tissues ready.
The main character is Wen Ran, a beta who was adopted from the orphanage at 7 to substitute in for the Wen family's deceased child. Only the Wen family knew about the substitution, which was kept a secret from the outside world.
The story starts ten years later when Wen Ran is 17 years old and just completed the surgery to be implanted with omega glands on his adopted mom's orders. The reason? His mom wants to get in with the wealthy and prestigious Gu family, and somehow she got secret information about their only grandson, Gu Yunchi. While GYC is an S-class alpha, he also suffers from an issue with his pheromones and requires an omega partner with over 95% compatibility to stabilize him. With that in mind, Wen Ran's mom had him undergo the gland implantation surgery so that he can become a pawn for her to approach the Gu family.
I won't go too much into the rest of the story, but let's just say that the MC's family sucks and is constantly manipulating him. He spends most of his life being their pawn and feeling super guilty to the Gu family and especially Gu Yunchi about it. Despite his guilt though, he gradually sees through the ML's aloofness and harsh words to realize that he's actually a nice person and falls in love with the guy who saves him from kidnappings and takes him up in a helicopter to see fireworks from the air.
As for Gu Yunchi, I initially disliked him because he was so cold and mean to the Wen Ran, but as the story progresses and I started realizing along with the MC that he's not all that bad, he definitely grew on me. He proves himself through his actions more so than his words. Plus you can't help but feel bad for him when you realize that because of his position, he can't fully trust anyone around him. But somehow he saw past the exterior of Wen Ran, someone he should have been the most cautious against, and realized that inside was another innocent victim of family manipulation who only wants to be free and play with his models.
**Warning: Spoilers Ahead**
The romance was sweet but frustrating at times. Wen Ran constantly felt guilty towards Gu Yunchi because he thought GYC didn't know the truth about his identity, that he was a pawn designed by his adopted mom to bring down GYC, but he should have a little bit more faith in GYC than that. It's only much later after he realizes GYC knew the truth all along and still likes him that he finally lets go of the last of his reservations about their relationship and decides to be with GYC for real.
The first half of the story was very fast-paced and had a good story. There was plenty going on and by the end, there are a couple of revelations about who Wen Ran's adopted mother is working is and what their end goal is. The scene where Wen Ran was on the boat going towards his death had me on the edge of my seat, especially once I realized Gu Yunchi was also there watching from the helicopter. That and the subsequent chapter from GYC's pov where he told 339 about Wen Ran's death had my heart breaking. This part of the story felt much more climactic than the actual end.
The second half of the story, which takes place 8-9 years later, was okay, but at that point, the story had mostly wrapped up and the focus is on Wen Ran and Gu Yunchi getting back together again. Wen Ran has left his past behind him and lives a new life with his original name, Li Shu, in a new city with new friends. By pure chance, Gu Yunchi, who joined the military academy and is one of their most promising newcomers, finds out Wen Ran's alive by coming across his handwriting. When GYC's mission is over, he immediately comes to find Wen Ran in his new home and forces himself into WR's new life, regardless of whether he's welcome. Obviously there are a lot of misunderstandings and Wen Ran has some trauma about how GYC clearly stated he doesn't want to marry him in the past, so it takes a while for them to resolve the issues and get together again.
The story ends on a happy note when Wen Ran discovers that his birth mother is actually alive, even though he was birth mom is actually alive, after living so many years under the mistaken belief that she was killed much earlier. Perhaps the author felt like he deserved some happiness after so much angst, but the ending felt a bit rushed since the last chapter has Wen Ran and Gu Yunchi celebrating CNY with his birth mom as one happy family.

A los años que leo un omegaverse tipo novela y Danmei (solo leía fanfics del mismo ship que me gusta jeje).
Está novela si me pareció ligera es bastante cliché se puede decir y facil de entender.
Para mí no hay tanta angustia peroooo eso no quiere decir que los personajes no sufren es todo lo contrario de paso hablando de que no tenían libertad y mucho mas, había partes que eran como predeterminadas también como que pasaban las cosas rápido y ya.
Wen Ran conecte con el fácilmente en cambio con Gu Yunchi pues a veces no le entendía pero su sarcamos si y es un 75% de novela lleva su sarcasmo así que el otro porcentaje pues papi que idiota no te entiendo nada jsjsjs.
Ahhhh 339 el hermoso robot jsjsj me cayó muyyyy bien hasta cuando se ponía sentimental bote algunas lágrimas jaaaaa.
Para mí faltó que GY sea más romántico al final o bueno como iba acabando la novela estaba con su sarcasmo que me hacia reír pero a veces decías unas cosas nada que ver.
Bueno para terminar pues es ligera, sencilla y cliché.

post-read: when I started this book i had no idea that I'll be binging reading it within a day:3
our MC( Wen Ran) is an orphan who was adopted by a family to replace their dead son because of a certain feature on his body and his secondary gender being altered (yes! it's omegaverse) to be compatible with a rich alpha of another family and get engaged with him.
Wen Ran is the most adorable MC I'd ever come across 😭 i totally understand Gu Yunchi and why he fell so hard for him, the fact that Gu Yunchi is a tsundere and his feelings are really hard to decipher, you'd probably think he dislikes Wen Ran, but he's so in love with him 😭 and wen Ran that poor guy goes through so much in his life but still his innocence, sincerity and purity will pull you in.🥹💗
I was crying and giggling reading the book throughout, we get some characters from the other book as this is a part of connected universe.
i won't give spoilers for the plot but you need to read it to know, there's a part that had me genuinely sobbing, where ML and MC are separated due to circumstances and ML thinks MC is no more, so he keeps getting injured (he's in military) just because he dreams of the MC in his sleep and that's the only time he'll be able to see him..( I was sobbing)😭

[inhales] Did I finish this story or this story finished me? This is truly the definition of I came for a good time and ended up crying. Truly, one of my favorite danmei of the year. I came with zero expectations and just looking for a nice omega and alpha experience. Goodness, this was so much more than that.
It’s true it kinda follows a cliché trope but it doesn’t stop there. When I thought I knew how things were going to end, pow! That did not happen. As a huge fan of tsundere boys, Gu Yunchi did not disappoint but hell, it did feel like rage bait sometimes (translation: I had the time of my life).
And Wen Ran! I don’t think I will love and want to protect someone this bad in a very long long time. He truly deserves the world and I was so sad to the world for being so unfair to him at times but by the end, he reached the happy ending he deserved.
Truly, I had such a good time. The story was so worth reading, I got mad, sad, happy, devastated and it was all worth it. I have so so much more to say because I truly enjoyed it but I will share it later to others! I will never shut up about this!

Imprisoned in Eternal Night is set in the same universe as Eternities Still Unsaid Till You Love Me, which I rated 5 stars, so I came into this sequel with high expectations. I was not disappointed.
The main characters, Gu Yunchi and Wen Ran, are portrayed as cool and aloof, facing life’s challenges with a calmness that makes it seem like nothing can break them. This consistency in character development adds depth to the story, and their resilience provides a strong foundation for the plot.
The pacing of the story was smooth, and not a single part felt dull. The author skillfully mixed moments of light comedy with subtle angst, keeping the narrative engaging and emotionally charged. Speaking of angst, this book certainly made me tear up. It’s been a while since a novel evoked such emotion from me. While the story could have ended on a bittersweet note (BE), the author chose a more hopeful resolution, which was both satisfying and heartwarming. The truth is gradually revealed, and by the end, everything falls into place perfectly.
That said, some aspects of the story are a bit fantastical and hard to believe in real life. However, the resolution was so sweet, especially for Wen Ran, that I was willing to overlook the more unbelievable elements.
Initially, I considered rating this book 4 stars, but I ultimately bumped it up to 5. While the emotional impact wasn’t as intense as some of my top-rated books, Imprisoned in Eternal Night left a lasting impression on me, and I believe it will stick with me for a long time.
I would love to see a story about He Wei and Chi Jiahan, though I doubt there will be one since their arcs are already covered in two separate side novels. More extras would have been a nice touch, but sadly, none were included.
Overall, this was a beautiful continuation of the universe, and I highly recommend it to fans of the first book and anyone who enjoys a mix of humor, angst, and sweet resolutions.

I enjoyed this book a lot, but the second half felt very fast-paced. It’s fun to read, but you might want to lower your expectations a bit. Based on the title, I thought it would be a depressing book, but it really isn’t—or at least, I didn't find it depressing. The story follows the main characters from childhood to adulthood, with some time skips. As an alpha/omega (AO) story, it includes drama, angst, misunderstandings, and unexpected plot twists. However, it has a happy ending (HE), so don’t worry too much about the drama.

Fue increíble. Poder haber leído esta novela y conocer a Wen Ran fue lo mejor que me pudo pasar. Lloro. 😭
Ya conocíamos a Gu Yunchi en Eternities, pero saber más de su historia de amor con Wen Ran y cómo es que ellos pasaron por tantas cosas juntos me dolía en corazón. Me alegró muchísimo ver como ambos volvían a reencontrarse y estar juntos después de todo, ellos merecen la felicidad. 🥺
Me sentí muy identificada con Gu Yunchi, y lo entendí tanto por todo lo que había pasado (sobre todo su actitud sarcástica, a donde tan yo?) y Wen Ran es un solecito, me encantó verlo crecer y madurar durante todo el libro, estoy ORGULLOSA 😭
Ahora bien, esperé más angst, PERO NO IMPORTA PORQUE LOS AMÉ DEMASIADO, YO TAMBIÉN QUIERO QUE ME PIDAN MATRIMONIO FRENTE LAS AURORAS BOREALES Y ME COMPREN 80 CROISSANTS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Basta, la súper recomiendo. ¿Un beta siendo convertido en omega y un alfa S con complejo tsundere? Totalmente mi tipo. Me reí, lloré, grité, lagrimeé, sentí DE TODO, chau, q buena historia.
Psdt: Amamos esos hints de Eternities durante la novela, cada que mencionaban a Lu y a Xu mi corazoncito se aceleraba 😭
Psdt2: HE WEI TE AMO TANTO
Psdt3: lo del aborto 💀 CHAU no puede ser espero que tengan hijitos en el futuro y sean una feliz familia 🥺
Psdt4: ¿podemos POR FAVOR agradecer a Wen Ran? Sin él, Gu Yunchi no se hubiera entrometido y Lu Heyang y Xu Ze no se hubieran juntado más rápido 😭

After LOVING the first one this was a huge disappointment - maybe my expectations were too high cause everyone said this one is even better than the first but... yeah
I didn't like the plot - it was SUCH 'rich people problems' which I'm not a fan of
I found the main characters incredibly boring
I didn't like the relationship - it was VERY old school yaoi/bl where the top is like "I know what's best for you" and basically just did whatever he wanted without actually thinking about the other guy (who was also a total pushover and didn't do ANYTHING)
And I felt like the author didn't really know where she was going with it so the ending felt SO random and out of place
yeah... not a huge fan, but I can see other people liking it i guess?

Una de las mejores cosas en esta novela es 339, razón (entre otras):
"Cuando Gu Yunchi salió del ascensor, vio que 339 estaba camuflado como un cubo de basura al final del pasillo, escuchando a escondidas los chismes de la familia de un paciente para contárselos más tarde a Wen Ran"

pretty much dnf this.
I pretty couldn't stand ml cold personality also didn't like relationship with MC at all as such a shame because I really thought I might like this but guess not.
I need to know if her other work it's lot better.

It was good in the first half but then it felt rushed and the ending was a bit cheesy.
I loved the characters, laughed and cried with them. But the second half just did not manage to build anything else. Seems like the MC regressed to being a child in the later chapters, which is a shame as their relationship could have blossomed beautifully. The pain could have been explored differently so it would be more fulfilling. Idk, its ok. It is also my fault that I expected something similar to Eternities... but totally different tone and writing. Thank you to the translator, the quality was top tier!

Review: 4 stars
What did I just read?!! I'm buddy reading this with May and Ope, who went through these ups and downs of emotions and the feels….
When the author said to prepare “dogblood” (something unbelievably cliche/ embarrassing/maladroit/exaggerating that needs to be neutralized with dog blood), they weren’t jokinggg!!!
The MC, WR, a beta turned omega, is so used to his adoptive family and to the ML, GYC, an alpha who was very cold towards him and would disregard him, but is forced to be together due to their matching pheromones. (This is an omegaverse story) I wanted to scream at the ML at times, and then we discovered why…and we did a 180 towards the ML and understood why…The relationship is somewhat imbalanced as the MC is a “weaker” character due to the treatment he suffers while the ML is this perfect, rich dude. The author warns us that ML has a tsundere personality (indifferent and cold on the outside but kind and caring on the inside), which is true in the last half of the book. Even though it was a painful parting due to circumstances, it led to great growth in the MC, where he was able to stand by himself, and the relationship felt better balanced and also the ML does fall in love with the MC to show his love through his actions (the quiet love). He will go to great lengths to protect the MC and ensure he doesn’t suffer anymore.
Plot-wise, I swear the author mistreated the poor MC so much that by the end of reading this story, I needed something fluffy and sweet just to balance it. While the plot had some holes that did lead us to question things, we ended up muttering that it is a dog-blood story and to just move on to the next part to get through the book. Ohh, this book also has some delicious smut scenes and the author did an amazing job writing it!
Again…it’s so hard to rate a story like this since it brings the feels buttttt I had moments where I wanted to chug the book against the wall and question why - lol!

Lo había terminado desde hace tiempo 😭😭
i QUE NOVELA MÁS PRECIOSA!!!!!!
Me enamore tanto pero tanto de Wen Ran, Gu Yunchi y 339 (a este último le llore)
La lectura para mi en los primeros caps no me convencía pero luego que fueran al pueblito su relación dio un GRAN giro tengo que decir que esos caps fueron mis favs de la novela.
Wen Ran es un personaje que me hizo que mi corazón se estrujara al pobre le caían muchas desgracias a la misma vez, el tan lindo me encantaba leer su amor por lo mecanica y me partía el alma que se limitaba a esto. Su " familia "una mrd total. El se merece la felicidad tener a Gu Yunchi, sus croissant y sus maquetas sinceramente me apegue mucho con el lo amo 🥹💕💕.
Gu Yunchi a principio pensé que sería uno de esos idiotas pero solo era tsundere tengo que decir que JODER QUE PEDAZO DE HOMBRE el hecho de que parecía desinteresado en Wen Ran y en lo que le pasaba a este pero en realidad se preocupaba por su seguridad. Cuando miraba a Wen Ran observar sus maquetas y que el tuviera el detalle de enseñárselo de COMPRARLE la maqueta qué tanto quería, ayudarlo de todas formas y al parecer siendo distante pero no es que no le interesara Wen Ran si no que su personalidad es así un hombre detallista que se preocupa por su lindo cerdito.
Tengo que decir que yo también quisiera ser Wen Ran y tener a un adicto al s3x0 conmigo todos los días 🥺. Sinceramente son muy lindos hubo un punto en que me agarre la cabeza pensando "como esto va a salir bien" y afortunadamente si lo fue.
Una lectura tranquila dulce con momentos de dramas y rabia, parte un poco triste pero luego viene la felicidad absoluta (Gu Yunchi es la defenicion de detallista y romántico)
LOS AMO Y SEAN MUY FELICES 😭😭😭💕💕

this novel was so. good. i really loved it so much. i didnt think would like it this much, and i especially didnt think i would like it mire than the last novel i read by the author.... the angst was delectable and it make the sweet moments all the more sweeter...!!!!! and i actually love gu yunchi more than lu heyang i know i shouldnt compare them but i realized i didnt like lu heyang that much hes kind of like a robot? kind of lacks a personality? on surface level they are so similar (cold and expresses themselves thru actions rather than words which obviously leads to misunderstandings) but gu yunchi felt more real to me. also gu yunchi is so fucking funny even tho he says mean things i cant even lie like he made me laugh so much... AND I LOVE WEN RAN!!! LI SHU!!!!!! even tho he was so stupid at first it made me insane like open your EYES not your ASS!! 😭😭like okay gu yunchi did say he would never marry you but feelings change????? why did you have to hold on to that for so long ... its ok tho because everything ended well ❤️ and they are so cute. guwen forever
also the part where gu yunchi realizes he missed significant years in wen rans life where he learns to live by himself and gets friends and a job and goes to university and finally does what he likes. i threw up. anyways i love them. romance slays actually

— so many “you deserve better” moments. you’ll find yourself rooting for wen ran just to get out, to breathe, to be loved properly.
— everyone is emotionally repressed. these two could’ve solved 80% of their problems with one conversation but the angst and yearning was so good i let it slide.
— their relationship is slow-burn and complicated. not some love-at-first-scent situation. it builds with tension, silence, miscommunication, and glimpses of something softer underneath.
— wen ran is a babyyy. soft-spoken, traumatized, and treated like a replacement his whole life… and yet he never fully breaks. his quiet resistance and eventual growth? chef’s kiss.
— gu yunchi is a cold, emotionally unavailable alpha, but not toxic in the typical way. he's distant, flawed, and repressed, but you see the shift. he learns. he listens. he loves, eventually.
— wholesome!! guwen forever <8
— read if you’re into arranged marriages, repressed alphas, emotionally stunted love interests, and watching a mistreated mc finally get the love they deserve

Como pareja principal, tienen una gran conexión. Sus personalidades son opuestas, pero Gu Yunchi y Wen Ran se entienden. Es lindo leer cómo se van interesando el uno en el otro y reconocer los pequeños detalles que reflejan sus verdaderas personalidades. En especial, Gu Yunchi, quien al principio muestra una personalidad "tsundere", pero en los últimos capítulos se convierte en el hombre más romántico. Siempre pensó en el matrimonio con Wen Ran, incluso cuando eran menores de edad. Aun así, la esencia de su personalidad nunca cambia, al igual que la de Wen Ran.
Lo único cómico de la historia es 339. No es una trama densa ni complicada, pero puede sentirse lenta. Sin embargo, esto no es algo negativo, ya que permite un mejor desarrollo de los personajes y nos ayuda a comprender mejor sus decisiones.
Me gustó demasiado, y la autora merece reconocimiento por envolvernos en una historia en la que solo queremos que los personajes sean felices después de todo lo que han vivido. ♡

waktu pertama kali baca judulnya, "wih magical bgt nih judul. bagus sih kayaknya"
lanjut baca sinopsis, oke kita baca(padahal list tbr danmei udah numpuk dari jaman kapan wkwk)
di awal2, oh okee si kulkas 100 pintu ini pasti tipe yang dinginnya kayak kutub selatan tapi nanti waktu ditinggal malah gagal move on kayak jadi si paling tersakiti. untuk novel tentang perjodohan, sebagian besar alurnya sama. walaupun bukan cerita yang baru, tapi tetep menarik untuk dibaca. dan aku setuju sama penulis yang bikin mereka jalan sendiri-sendiri dulu selama 3 tahun, karena mereka mengawali kedekatannya karena perjodohan dan tingkat kecocokan feromon yang tinggi. jadi dengan berjalan sendiri dulu, mereka akan tau apakah keterikatan itu karena cinta atau hal lain
satu lagi, yang aku kurang suka itu plot menuju end. kayak terlalu terburu-buru? terus agak maksa gitu jadinya

I want more chapters 😭😔 339 is such a diva, I enjoyed every moment it was in the scene.
Definitely more "light" compared to Eternities/BU in terms of comedic parts, but that doesn't mean the plot isn't heavy. I also think it's easier to digest and dare I say I think I adore this more than Eternities (which to my defense I read over a year ago and barely remember the plot)
Such a good read.

This had every cliché of a romantic drama, but it was written well enough that it totally worked. The story even had me crying at one point!
If you don't mind overly dramatic shenanigans and pure dog blood, I'd definitely recommend!

Kinda disappointed, maybe because I had a high expectations for this cause ESUTYLM is literally one of my favorite novels but this one didn’t work for me. I was even more interested in Wen Rui and Fang Yisen as a couple more than Wen Ran and Gu Yunchi. Lu Heyang and Xu Ze crumbs were the best.

the first half was super good, but after the timeskip i just got bored. their dynamic didn’t feel the same, and honestly i liked their old dynamic better. would’ve been 4 stars if not for the timeskip and all the army stuff
