(8) - and lastly i feel like im reading a wattpad novel i swear idk why. the writing makes it seem that way. anyways..
i’ll just try to finish the book and find the answers im looking for. i just know things are complicated now bc we just found out HY is her guardian angel!! so what about YC now..

(7) both of them are GOOD. like how am i supposed to choose!?? so far YC has gotten more moments and descriptions so obviously im going with him but HY? he’s got potential as well. and HES THE JADE PROTECTOR?? he’s been by her side for 9 years?? bro. the lore goes deeper there, how will i ever take a side? either make one ML hateable (apollo cough) or just don’t create a second ML at all UGHH i cant stand it

(6) but like dude YC has given you every reason to NOT distrust him. i guess.. im naiver than her. maybe she’s doing the right thing?? maybe YC has other intentions? (i doubt it.. why would anyone spend so much time developing and describing how hot a character is if he will end up being the villain?)
- oh and Hào’Yáng. bro i smell some love triangle and let me tell you, I HATE LOVE TRIANGLES. specially when

(4) AY: tell me you’ve closed the gate! YC: I did! Or maybe not, as the demon you see me as! AY: oh no i want to see it with my OWN eyes. i hate you but i love you, you’re half of those creatures i despise the most but I’ll kiss you anyway!
like.. please i felt like watching some teens (maybe that’s what they are). anyways this takes me to AY’s hatred towards Mó, its totally understandable the way she acts

(3) - Okay i’m a sucker for men like Yù’chén specially his “Mm” “Hmm” “May I?” UGH what a gentleman, but i don’t get why he’s so obsessed with AY? they’ve met for a short time and while the tension is there and i don’t complain, there lacks something *more*. it just doesn’t make sense to me why he’s so good to her and always protects her, it kinda seems like he was only made for that..

(2) there are some problems with this book. and personally it’s getting annoying.
- Àn’yīng ALWAYS talks about her motivations and goals to protect her family. i get it, she misses them, she needs to remind herself why she’s there but it gets to a point where i couldn’t care less if she mentions Mā or her sister out of nowhere. it loses its importance, and more when it’s brought up in random moments

So I started this book for the ambience and aesthetic it holds. I wanted some chinese type of fantasy and even the author mentions cdrama in her dedication! It was interesting at first, i was a bit taken aback for the names, wasn’t really expecting her to include the accents as well but i guess it helped me to get more immersed in the story. i could see the words she meant and i got most of the references. but (1)
