my mom’s recommendation

putting this on pause till i get back to mtl (had to return it to the library)

club president twinning fr, also not the famed “you never really knew whether to laugh or to cry” coming to say hi here too

oh!!!!!! why are we forgiving a rapist..? wtf

Not the easiest to understand, but I’m enjoying the impressions I’m getting from it. Lots of darker themes intertwined too.

was all fun and games until jin zixuan showed up, not even motivated to finish the chapter now

Wow, Wen Qing’s role is really minor and the whole golden core switch is really brushed over compared to the show.

Started reading this with Yizhen, I don’t remember all that much of the story, so it’s a fun choice for me too!

time for everyone to die i guess, and for lots of trauma… but at least Wen Ning has shown up!! very different timeline for him than in the drama

now THIS is what i’m talking about, CAVE ARC CAVE ARC CAVE ARC

Finally restarted reading this with Yizhen. My vocabulary has definitely gotten better, I understand more on my own that I did before!

these chapters are soooo long, what happened to the cute little short chapters?

road trip read

sigh… xue yang has entered the chat

this arc is so blarrghhh and so long, bro deserves no sympathy and much less xiao xingchen (i don’t understand how people ship them together when song lan is right there)

i will be killing xue yang off early in my fic <3

we love drunk-ji

i love nie huaisang, little comic relief bbgirl, he’s just so pitiful urgh (spolier: hes literally the mastermind behind this whole second half of the story), but he’s just so bbgirl, he’s 100% gonna get a better ending in my fic

also mxtx really loves having characters use their love interests last name when undercover AND I EAT IT UP EVERY TIME JKRHWIFIFBWJ

only 2 arcs left before the end of volume one, this would be much faster if i wasn’t copy-pasting into my notes app all the time

URGH I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE THE STUDY SESSION AT THE CLOUD RECESSES ARC

they’re so silly, wwx being so intrigued by the “pretty” and strict disciple and desperately wanting to be near him, whether that means being a little shit or being a flirt and then there’s lwj trying to damn hard to ignore him and failing miserably, i see you discreet gay panic, ugh only 8 chapters? I NEED TO MAKE IT 30 AT LEAST

Never have i taken so many notes, this is exactly the section that would start off a fanfic so I’m trying to absorb as much as i can

finally made it to the past, exactly where i want to be

this series is always so fun as a reread cause everyone’s actions make sense

the characters are lowkey meaner/rougher around the edges than i remember

GUESS WHO IS BACK ITS ME
so i want to write a fanfic… gotta refresh the source material, i read this as a fan translation back in 2019 ish? been in this fandom for YEARS
turns out the version i found is an epub of that same fan translation… teenage me would be so proud

EXCITING GUESS WHO BOUGHT HER BIRTHDAY GIFT(s)

2026 is the year of the lesbians!!! i’ve heard the plot is a bit confusing, but danmei has prepared me for this 🫡
