“I waited for his revulsion, for him to throw me to the ground and wrap a hand around my throat, but he only looked at me with bewildered awe. The seconds seemed to stretch until finally, he pinched his eyes shut. He reached for a blanket and quietly extended it towards me.”

CHIVALRY IS ALIVE!!!!!!!

BALD FENG XIAO JUMPSCARE WTF

dom omega? yes pls thanks

i have officially beat my year long infection merry christmas y’all 😁‼️

“Feng Xiao caught his wrist. He pushed up Cui Buqu’s wide sleeve, revealing the five bloody marks on Cui Buqu’s forearm where the zither’s strings had lain. In the next moment, Cui Buqu went stiff. Feng Xiao had lowered his head, and, bit by bit, was licking the blood away.”

OHMYGOD

Feng Xiao playing the zither with Cui Buqu’s body… THIS IS SO GAY

the idiocy going on rn is CRAZY

i miss when i first got back into reading 2 years ago and was still naive. every time i see an aesthetic bookshelf post on pinterest instead of thinking “pretty” i think “damn that’s a lot of problematic authors”

HUGE problem with the font at the top of the pages. the font is wonky and warps the 6’s so they look like 0s, and it’s confusing the hell out of me.

imo the weed smoking is ruining my immersion. is THIS the gargoyle y’all are crying over? because i want it dead ❤️

“Feng-er loved himself more than anyone. How could he hold any true regard for someone else? And Cui Buqu was destined for a life of solitude. Why worry about something so pointless?”

omg Ququ 💔💔 FENG XIAO. SHOWER HIM WITH LOVE SO HE CAN SEE HOW LOVED HE IS. OR ELSE. i’m watching you, Feng Xiao… 😑

“He couldn’t bear to lose this. He couldn’t bear to lose the acid words that pelted him like a corrosive rain. He couldn’t bear to lose the arched brow that accompanied the sneering curl of that lip. He couldn’t even bear to lose the way this man said Deputy Chief Feng, in a tone that was seven parts ridicule and three parts scheming.”

oh!

YAN WUSHI 🗣️🗣️

“Go. Reincarnate well. In your next life”— his voice dropped to a whisper— “don’t be my mother.”

Cui Buqu my beloved 😭😭

“Green leaves fell from the canopy, dripping frost-colored rainwater that trickled down the stone like a woman’s tearful smile.”

what if i started sobbing? what then?

“i’m so hot ugh i hate my pretty privilege” boy…

Feng Xiao trying to act nonchalant like he wasn’t day dreaming about his kiss with Cui Buqu those 8 days 💔

“He glared at Feng Xiao. The man was gorgeous; his sole imperfection was his ability to speak. If only Cui Buqu could see his mouth shut, he thought, then he’d be able to appreciate his face in peace, and everything would be perfect.”

goodreads took down a review of mine for being against community guidelines. they said that reviews have to be about the content of the book. my review was about the content of the book. goodreads just likes to protect problematic authors 😀 (i’m this 🤏 close to deleting GR)

“Would you be enchanted by someone uglier than yourself?”

i spat out my drink 😭 Feng Xiao is SO out of pocket i can’t

“Make it a white Christmas, Santa.”

PAUSEEEEEE ✋

“There’s only one Cui Buqu. If he dies, where would I find anyone half as interesting?”

hehehehehehdhheJkqkandndnak

*rubs hands together greedily*

i hate when “enemies to lovers” books are really just frenemies on a bad day 💔 bring back actual mutual hatred please i miss it

hopefully after my colonscopy/endoscopy and i can get treatment i’ll be back to reading as normal ‼️‼️ no guarantees but it would be nice

shoutout to bakudeku for being the greatest ship i’ve ever had the misfortune of shipping

alchemised won best debut. i hate goodreads and i hate booktok and i hate JKR and i hate

based on the first chapter, i was no expecting good APD rep. but Adam, as a character, is far from a stereotype. he’s human, painfully so, and i love it.

“Duan Qihu was holding on to life by a thread. His limbs had been hacked off, and only his head and torso remained.”

HALLELUJAH!! REJOICE!!! NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!!!!!
