Status Updates From Breaking Through the Clouds 破云

The King of Spades playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers… too bad Jiang Ting is a chess grandmaster

Holy shit these are some Meatbun-level plot twists and reveals WHAT IS HAPPENING

this book has the biggest infestation of red herrings that I have ever seen

“When we read suspense novels, we follow the protagonist, suspecting all possible culprits, and finally bringing the bad guys to justice after unraveling the mystery layer by layer. But why do we never suspect the protagonist?”

Bro what the fuuuuuuuck

it's killing me how I either have no time or no energy to read :( mental exhaustion sucks

bro if i was watching this scene instead of reading it i'd be losing it

“The King of Spades wouldn’t dare to actually kill you… I don’t care though”
Daaamn, what a cold line! Suddenly this side villain is more memorable.
Also why is poor Jiang Ting, who can barely walk, constantly getting himself into physical fights with much stronger enemies. The guy’s guardian angel must be so fed up with this shit.

Finally had time and mood to read. The last few weeks were brutal on my mental state.

“You saved me…”
“No. I’ve ruined you.”
💔

The reveal of the mole among the cops would hit a lot harder if I could remember who is who. The side characters just kinda blend together. I couldn't tell Gou Panqing, Huang Xing and Qin Chuan apart if you held me at a gun point. I think one of them is fat? But that's about it lol

"Let's get engaged. If anything happens, at least we'll have a marriage contract. Once everything settles down, we can register our marriage abroad. Or we can be honest with our parents and family. At least we'll have proof that we were once together, at least someone in this world will know that you and I are the real-" 💔

oh wow I didn't think he was serious and would actually propose, ring and all

Steps of dating according to Yan Xie:
1) move in together
2) first kiss
3) joke about marriage
4) introduce them to your parents
5) first sex
6) put a ring on them while they sleep after said first sex
(Steps 4-6 happen within the range of 24 hours)

All the while the other party insists you aren’t really in a relationship at all.
