WE GOT OUR FIRST YU SHENGYAN AND FU WANQING KISS. THEY ALSO PLAYED THE QIN AND XIAO TOGETHER I LOVE THEM. Fu Wanqing so spiteful as always and Yu Shengyan following her shenanigans I love them so much. I lowkey understand the criticism of the book but you can’t deny is a fun read.

Lowkey can’t believe I was able to read the whole incense burner chapter (GIVE ME A BADGE OF I SURVIVED ALLAT) I had to actually read slowly for this one cuz I got too shy. The Lan family banquet chapter was so sweet, though the writer conveyed the suffocating energy of the Lan clan so well, I loved it and loved having an update of some of the characters post canon!!!

I think it’s beautiful the way they incorporate poems in order to push the story in new ways. The storytelling through poems at first was confusing for me because I wasn’t used to it but now I look forward to it, it’s very beautiful writing. I left in chapter 6 for a while but I’m planning on picking up this book again as a old LMK fan

The introduction was pretty interesting, though since I have my sights on another books right now I’m not looking too deep into it. Xie Lian’s thoughts are kinda funny tho. I kinda know the intro scenes and stuff bc I’ve read a bit of the manhua. I think what I’m most enthralled about how mxtx writes beautiful scenes to capture Xianle and Xie Lian himself as a very beautiful prince. That’s all for now!

Uhm whoever is seeing this, I don’t know how to remove that last update so I’ll just leave this here…

Also the moment Wei Wuxian begged for Lan Xichen to beg him to tell him everything oh my god that moment felt so tense, idk if I misremembered but the way it’s written in the book makes me feel all the helplessness Wei Wuxian felt at that moment!

Smdndn

It hurt to just read this chapter holy I know this story front to back even before reading but this moments always hurt, even when I read it in the manhua it physically hurt me more visualizing it. Reading Jiang Cheng breaking down and Wei Wuxian discussing with him what had happened on the past always hits hard.

SHES ON HER LAP ALREADY OH MY, lowkey Fu Wanqing is NOTTTT playing. I’m very invested so far, though everything is happening a bit too quick for me, I guess it is understandable since it’s a stand alone ig

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the book until now atleast. My fave part till now it’s when Zhou Zishu finds Wen Keqing (idk how to write his name) and Gu Xiang on a tavern and Gu Xiang randomly throws herself off the balcony to give money to Zhou Zishu bc she thought he was asking for money LMAO.
