< “Happy birthday, Cheng-ge,” Gu Fei continued quietly. “May
you always smile as brilliantly as the sun. You’re my sun.” >
With this volume, this modern danmei comes to an end. It took me through so many emotions that I still struggle to describe the experience of reading it. More than anything, it felt unique, a story that stayed with me and kept finding new ways to move me from one feeling to another.
This volume doesn’t hold back. It begins with heartbreak and angst, yet love is present throughout, so constant and powerful that at times it nearly blinded me to everything else. As the story unfolds, healing and peace gradually emerge. Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei overcome the obstacles between them and, step by step, build a path toward each other's hearts again. Their new bond grows steadily, until nothing could ever break it again.
Jiang Cheng is a character who has become very dear to me. He is deeply relatable, and every time he achieves something he has worked toward, I can’t help feeling proud of him. He can be naive, but not in a way that makes him seem helpless or unaware of his own strength. Rather, when faced with a problem, he believes he can find a way through it because he trusts himself to keep trying. That confidence is one of his greatest strengths and one of the qualities that helps him move forward in life. Without a doubt, he is one of the strongest characters I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know, and following him as he pursues his dreams has been a joy.
Gu Fei is a character I sometimes struggled to connect with, but even when my affection for Jiang Cheng made me biased, I could never bring myself to dislike him. He had fallen so deeply into darkness that the strength it took to pull himself out of it is especially moving. His progress is not easy or immediate; it comes through the courage to take that first step toward a better future for himself, rather than living only for someone else. At last, he lets go of the shackles that had kept him down and reaches for the person who brought light into his life and doesn't let go again.
Their relationship in this volume shows what true love can look like. It isn’t grand or loud, and it doesn’t need constant declarations to prove itself. Instead, it is a steady presence woven through the story, one that gives both the characters and the readers a sense of security, the feeling that, whatever happens, things will be okay. They both make mistakes that hurt the other, but the author portrays their thought processes and struggles with mental health so thoughtfully that I can understand both of their perspectives. I don’t see either of them as truly at fault; life simply gets in the way, and they have to find their way through it. When they come back together, they do it as they always have: with their emotions laid bare and so much love pouring from one heart to the other.
The author handles mental health with genuine care and sensitivity, while never shying away from its most painful and difficult aspects. The story recognizes how exhausting it can be to keep fighting day after day, even when that fight is mostly invisible to the people around you. People living with mental health struggles show immense strength in continuing to face each day, searching for one more moment of happiness and holding on to the people who love them. I say this as someone who understands how hard and draining it can be to fight with your own mind every single day.
In conclusion, I’m going to miss this danmei, because it is so much more than a love story. It is a story about life, the struggles woven into everyday living, and the hope that someday things will become easier, that one day, we’ll be able to breathe without feeling sad.

CUTIESSSS I LOVED THIS DANMEI WITH ALL MY HEART
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
This was the perfect conclusion to the series. Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei's relationship was so beautiful, and I love the life they've created together. Their relationship is so real, healthy, and supportive. They complete each other in a way most people can only hope for. The ending of the series was beautiful and the extras filled me with love and hope. This remains one of my favorite relationships in any media and one of my favorite danmei 💕

I finished this 5 minutes ago and I miss it already. Absolute perfection. Gonna go cry alone in the bathroom now.

This volume was the perfect conclusion for Gu Fei's and Jiang Cheng's story. Oh god I loved this series so so much that it's so hard to summarize my feelings in just one review right now, but at least I can try (this will probably be long, sorry).
The reason why I loved this story so much was because how grounded, natural and realistic everything in this series is laid out. All the characters in this story behave exactly as how people would normally behave in the circumstances that they find themselves in. At no point in this story did I think anything was exaggerated or unrealistic for the purpose of entertainment. Teenagers act like teenagers, life is portrayed with it's ups and downs because that is simply what life is.
I think this was also beautifully portrayed in the extras of this book. We watched Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng become adults, moving in together, entering the workforce and simply living life, which isn't always sunshine and rainbows as an adult but also includes busy work schedules, chores and simply not much time to spend together. But even despite this, we saw how stable their relationship grew over the course of the series and how they, even with those circumstances, still found time here and there to enjoy the little moments together, even if they didn't happen as frequently as when they were younger.
Looking back at the whole story, this was probably the best portrayel of a romantic relationship that I've seen until now in any kind of media. We saw Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei turn from strangers to friends, slowly moving forward, becoming more than friends, getting together, navigating the novelty and awkwardness of a first relationship, starting to rely on one another, figuring out what they want for the future, pushing each over forward and overcoming doubts and challenges. A lot of romances just always work towards the part where the characters get together and then, once they do, they either just end or it find other things to focus on. But this series really showed what getting together really is - the START of a relationship. It showed that even when being together, there is so much that you still have to figure out together as a couple, obstacles that you have to overcome to eventually grow on those as a couple. And that's exactly what we saw with Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng. The way they overcame their biggest obstacle in this volume was just perfectly executed. I couldn't have wished for a better ending.
So yeah, long story short: I loved this series and I'll definitely miss it like hell

The ultimate coming of age and love story. Just so so beautiful, from the characters to the writing to the translation. One of those stories that makes you grateful to exist in a world with it <3
“I will love whatever you decide to be, and I trust whatever choice you make.”

Woah... I can’t believe this is it. This volume in particular is the embodiment of a heavy weight on your chest. The nuances of carrying a mixture of anxiety and perseverance and hope and fear and fight and flight and love. So so much love. And all that encompasses the complex experience of being alive and caring so deeply about the world around you and the people around you and because of that, perhaps for the first time, you also start caring deeply about yourself and about the work required to get you there, to places you’ve always wished to go but never thought you could reach. And the significance of being an inconvenience and being inconvenienced, to build a village and to be a villager, to help and to accept a helping hand in return. There are so many layers to this story and my reading experience throughout this collective body of work just kept getting better and watching the characters grow was incredibly rewarding. I’m rooting for them even beyond the last page. I hope they run wild, my beloveds

Finishing this up feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. I'll give it some time but I already can't wait to reread from the beginning.

If I could read it all again for the first time I would!
This is hands down my new favorite coming of age love story. The way the characters were written made them feel so real and I appreciate the author never shied away from the harsher realities of adulthood. It had a very satisfying ending and I loved all the extra chapters that showed how much Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei grew over the last 10 years. This was a true masterpiece that I would easily recommend to anyone.

The perfect story doesn’t exis – Cheng-ge, thank you for not giving up on me
This book. THIS BOOK (and all 6 books in this series, truly). What a wonderful finale to Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei’s story!!! It left me full of hope and happiness for them, and when I think back on the evolution of their characters and relationship over the 6 volumes, I want to cry happy tears all over the place!
I’m so jealous of people who get to read this for the first time. Forevermore, I’ll come back to this story again and again.
May you always smile as brilliantly as the sun. You’re my sun

Gu Fei & Jiang Cheng! Final volume :(
I’m so glad we got this final volume to resolve the issues from vol 5 and, more importantly, give us some happy moments with Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng. After everything these two have been through, they deserved it!
I absolutely loved Gu Fei’s character development in this volume. Seeing him grow into someone who is willing to invest in his own future was so satisfying. He’s spent so much of his life putting everyone else first, and it was wonderful to see him finally start to believe that he deserves something for himself, too.
Jiang Cheng also matures, while still being the same silly teenage boy we know and love. I really appreciated that balance. He’s growing up, but he hasn’t lost that youthful energy and ridiculousness that make him so endearing.
The extras were fun, too! I was convinced they were giving us more of an HFN than a definitive HEA, but honestly, I do believe these two care enough about each other to go the distance. Their relationship has never been easy, and I think that’s what makes me root for them so much.
Also, the adults in this story are SO hands-off. It’s just wild to me. And Gu Miao? The ultimate cool girl. No notes.
Overall, for the series: 4/5 stars.
While this was a cute and emotional story, there were a couple of storylines that felt slower to me, particularly the studying and basketball tournament arcs. I also wish some of the side characters had been more fleshed out. It was nice to see them reappear in the extras, though!
This was my first modern danmei, and I think it was a really good introduction to the genre. I got invested in Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng making their relationship work despite their very different circumstances. Their story is such a good representation of the challenges of young love, especially when life keeps throwing obstacles in your way.
I’m glad we got to see them grow, struggle, and find their way back to each other. And while I’m sad to say goodbye to these two, I’m happy with where their story leaves them. ❤️

i want to preface this by saying that this is more of a review of the whole series rather than just vol. 6. with that said, before i started reading this series i had only ever heard people highly praise it, so i thought i would end up disappointed since my expectations were so high, but it actually ended up exceeding my expectations. it's definitely in my top 2 out of the danmei novels that i've read!
i thought i had grown out of reading books about teens, but i made an exception for this series, and i'm glad i did because even though jiang cheng and gu fei start out as 17 years olds in the first volume, they were pretty mature, especially their relationship. they communicated well, protected each other, did really nice/romantic things for each other, and it was just overall one of the most healthy and secure relationships i've read about. my favorite thing was particularly how much fun they had together, how much they laughed over practically nothing, and how many dumb and silly things they said to each other/got up to together, it was refreshing to read.

this is whisper of the heart but yaoi- *gunshots*
not actually, but the themes i love to much in whisper of the heart—supporting the one you love to better themself and giving them the courage to believe in themself—play a big role here. i didn’t expect to enjoy a slice of life danmei much, especially one where much of it takes place in high school, since i usually stick to historical or wuxia/xianxia, but this story is really special. especially the latter half. seeing gu fei’s journey really touched me. all the characters are so lovable. the main relationship is well-paced and deep, and each character’s relationship to each other is given the time of day it deserves. i’m actually a little glad i read this as it came out rather than in immediate succession. even if it meant forgetting little details between volumes, i felt by the end that i really did spend quite a while with these two.
this danmei is super accessible and would maybe be less intimidating to the danmei-curious than an mxtx novel.
4.5/5. it was a little saccharine at times, but they are so dear to me!
