I think I'm going to add this to my TBD or either come back later pile. The first volume was extremely well written and very intriguing. For some reason, it lost the momentum halfway in volume 2. By no means is this a bad book, I think I'm just not in the right headspace at the moment.

[Yun Ting · Rating 4 out of 5]

Relatively light-hearted book (in comparison with book 3), with a good plot and unveiling of some clues that were given in book 1. Yun Ge went through a round of near-death, but found her Ling Gege. After some initial misunderstandings, they were both happy for quite a few chapters, until suddenly Liu Fo Ling fell sick and started to push her away. At this point, you would think that she will discover it/Meng Jue will alert her to it and she will realise her foolishness.

So yes she does discover it, spent some time trying to battle the illness and surprisingly Liu Fo Ling recovered! (but nope, be patient, a few more chapters later he will fall sick again and die by the end of the book)

The author is really good at weaving in things that will be revealed in a later book, and you will be smacking yourself for not guessing it. And yet your attention is kept on the book such that you want to just finish the book and not put it down. It was so good that even I was amazed at my reading speed. I haven't finish a book in a single day (somemore it's a work day) since I started work.

I cried three times (or maybe 5, I kinda lost count along the way) reading this novel. It's beautifully written by my favorite Chinese author of all time! Definitely worth a try. Hopefully one day, I can read her works in its original version.

明明知道他们的快乐会非常短暂，所以一点儿，一点儿地，耐着性子，想慢慢地享受着他们的快乐。虐心。虽然刻意放慢了速度，却花了一天的时间就读完了，舍不得放下。
