“The tributes were necessary to the Games, too. Until they weren’t, and then we were very disposable—right, Plutarch?”

sotr teaser trailer moved me so bad it gave me the motivation to continue this reread

the sunrise on the reaping trailer??? i’m seated. the theater employees are scared and asking me to leave because it’s “not november 20, 2026 yet” but i’m simply too seated 😭

“I can’t help but use and lean on your guilt just so I can keep you with me a little longer, but even that won’t last forever. What am I supposed to do then?”

a severe case of codependency going on and i’m enjoying every second of it 😌

“No matter what you did in the past, you’re still the same Jaeshin to me. I like you just the way you are.”

jaeshin and nok first date + hot spring smut OH IM EATING SO GOOD 😌

“Allow me to cast my lot with your side. I am convinced that the crown prince Lee Nok is not fit to become king.”

kyung-joon they will NEVER make me like you

“And so may your suffering be turned into paradise… and you become my sea of pain and bliss.”

just fell to my knees and started weeping btw

“Now you smell like me all over. So much that it covers your own scent. If you knew how that makes me feel, smelling myself on you, I daresay you’d run for the hills again.”

dawg he’s wishing he was in the omegaverse so bad 😭

“How strange that his every word, his every touch, should calm my fears so quickly… as if he were not the very person I had been avoiding. Nay, as if I had been waiting for him all this time.”

the relationship development between jaeshin and nok from chapters 40-44 is too fucking good omg

i’ll never get over this art style actually

guys how am i supposed to be normal when bab 7 cover screams melancholy like wdym there's a grave on the fucking book spine???

“I’ve liked you for over a decade… I only regret that I was too good to you, and I didn’t do this before He Yu fucked you.”

“If you can be with a man, Xie-ge… If you’re not that…that unapproachable deity that I thought I knew…I should also take what I want. I should have taken it long ago”

….what the fuck I need chen man to join the six feet under club EXPEDITIOUSLY

HELP not hexie sex being put on blast in front of everyone during the wedding banquet??? yk if chen man’s ass was tweaking over the mere thought of them being intimate together, he definitely had several mental breakdowns seeing it in real time 💀

“I was his first man and I still am! I’m the one who took him! I held him and kissed him! Your Xie-ge…he begged me in bed, I bullied him to tears, and the name he cried when he couldn’t take it anymore was mine! Mine alone! It’s not your place to try and stop me! Who the fuck even are you?”

he yu and chen man’s beef basically being a competition of who’s the bigger gay magnet for xqc is frying me

“Executive Lü, it doesn’t matter if you let He Yu continue on like this or force them to break up. As long as he ends up turning to you in the end, you can do whatever you’d like. The one red line you may not cross is killing Xie Qingcheng.”

reading bab isn’t enough i need to jump into the book and protect hexie at all costs myself

“At first, I would never lower myself like this just to love someone. I would never take care of someone so wholeheartedly and sincerely. I know how to do it now. I spent a lot of time learning, Xie Qingcheng ⎯ Just look at me, once.”

depression is so back 😔

“He finally realized that he cared about He Yu in the same way He Yu cared for him. But what could he do? His life was short. If he couldn’t let go of the warmth He Yu gave him, if they continued like this, then when he left this world, he would have enjoyed the boy’s love, but left him with eternal sadness. It was too selfish and irresponsible.”

hexie requited love drought is over but at what cost 💔

“He’d never felt like this before—his heart so uncontrollable because of just one person. It was dangerous, and painful, and made him uneasy. He wanted to frown, pick up a cold scalpel, and cut it out — But by the time he discovered its existence, it had already started worming deeper into his heart. He couldn’t remove his heart after all.”

hexie dating arc soon TRUST

bro the hexie car smut… they’re overly freaked out 😭😭😭

“He had no idea when He Yu had managed to erode his way so deeply into his life. Looking back, the young man had become someone irreplaceable. This realization stunned him—he had never carefully considered who He Yu was to him before”

xqc out here listing all the reasons why he yu is the most irreplaceable person in his life and then has the audacity to follow up with “no homo tho 🤓☝️” like dpmo

“If there comes a day when you’re no longer by my side, I don’t know what I’d become… But as long as I can stay with you, I don’t care if I have to eat frozen dumplings. What I eat, where I sleep, none of it matters as long as we stay together…”

it’s so cutesy how much of a hopeless romantic he yu is 🥺

“The hottest thing in the world was a person’s true feelings; whether mortal steel or glacial ice, all would melt in the face of sincere affection.”

he yu has the most serious case of lover boy syndrome and xie qingcheng is not immune 😭
