MY POOR BABY OH MY GOD PEARL😭😭😭😭😭 whoever lied to me and said this was a light novel fuxk you oh my god😭

I love my stupid baby rabbit lu yan so freaking much, also go Xiao Xun!!🤍 finally getting to his arch has been freaking amazing

Chapter 187/260

Chapter 155/279 🤍

I wanna hug Bai Chunian so bad oh my poor baby😭😭💔 him losing faith in humanity hit me hard my poor lion

I’d gladly give my life for Rimbaud

I love Rimbaud so much😭🩵

Ahhh I love how deep the characters are, how all the little details build up. Stuff like Bai Chunian bringing up his “mini honeymoon” to literally everyone and anyone without prompting, because he wants go show off since he is a romantic softie at heart… You don’t just get told character is shy or something, you see it happen without the author hitting you over the head with descriptions. I love her writing

Nearly two thousand pages, 144 chapters… and we get the first sex scene (a very vague one at that). Romance girlies could not imagine what we danmei girlies go through.

“You have to accept that I have flaws, even the king is not perfect.”
“No, you’re perfect. I like a wife who can bite my head off with one crunch.”

They are simply ✨perfect✨ together

Felt like coming back to this and omfg I hate myself for reading multiple things at once since I forgot what the current sub plot is and had to backtrack. Anyways I like how at this point Bai Chunian and Rimbaud are finally an official (married!) couple and how they no longer hide who they truly are (obviously Rimbaud could never pretend to be a human but Bai Chunian revealing he’s not human is a big step for him)

The translation is so fucking bad that it’s taking me out of this already extremely long story. Why the fuck have yall allowed Chrysanthemum Garden to essentially monopolize translating Chinese works?! They suck ASS. The whole fucking team!

How is this so good? It looks like a silly little funny fantasy but the world is unexpectedly complex and so is the story, anything even resembling a plot hole has just turned out to be some insane foreshadowing. Not to toot my own horn but I can really tell when a writer is skilled... and this one really is.

I’m sorry, Bai Chunian is HOW old…???!!! Talk about an age gap relationship, damn.

Ahhh they got married ❤️
(Ugh I’m finally in a reading mood but I have so many essays going grade first…:( )

Fade to black sex scenes but somehow we still get a detailed description of Rimbaud’s fishussy, 10/10 book

Nevermind, Rimaud isn’t unhinged. ERIS IS. Holy crap. I hope he will stick around and won’t be just an episodic villain, he is so crazy :D and as inhuman as it gets… curious to see that objects can become sentient experimental subjects too.

“Omg this is the first time an adult has been kidnapped and turned into an experimental subject!”
Meanwhile Rimbaud: 🧍‍♂️

Hm I should read the prequel. I don’t care much about the bunny man (idk I just don’t care for bunnies) but Lu Shangjin is interesting

Rimbaud: “what do you want?”
Bai Chunian: “I want half the people in the world killed” 😤
R: “ok I’ll do it tomorrow bby ❤️”
B: “wait lol I’m joking don’t actually do that”
R: ☹️
B: “you are so cute”
R: 🙂
B: “and violent😘”
R: ☺️

(I LOVE THEM)

The way this novel balances light moments with serious situations needs to be studied. Usually I dislike major tonal shifts between chapters or even scenes but here it just WORKS. Major angsty flashback, MC completely breaking down, action scene, cute and caring moment, funny flirty dialogue, another action scene… and it just flows so well. (Btw are we ever going to address how Rimbaud just ate a bunch of people?)

“I really thought I had a good temper before teaching students.”

As a fellow teacher, I felt that 😂

Oh wow I thought mature Rimbaud is going to be a handful and here he is, already threatening to fuck two people to get them to back away from his lover. Any expectations I had have been already surpassed, he is unhinged.

““What should I do? I have always been in command; it has always been someone else asking me what to do, so now, where do I belong? Where should I go?”

Poor little baby 😭 how did this get so serious all of a sudden? 💔

I’m still reading this! This has been dedicated as my mini-reader novel to read on the go because it’s so easy to follow

Rimbaud is so cute omg 🥹
