Quite slow on the start, this is the kind of book that will leave a small scratch in your heart. Mu Su Li truly is a great writer. She knows how to hook people in and leave them wanting more. We are still at the start of the story and have not gotten to even the romance, but you can feel the build-up for it.
With the book being adapted into a TV show, I wanted to give it another try as I remember having fond memories of it and boy I was not disappointed. Although it took me over a week to get into the very first chapters, now I am hooked and literally blew through the first book. One thing I still wish is for someone to pick up this book for an official English translation so I can get my hands on my own physical copy of it.
