Ahhh I love how deep the characters are, how all the little details build up. Stuff like Bai Chunian bringing up his “mini honeymoon” to literally everyone and anyone without prompting, because he wants go show off since he is a romantic softie at heart… You don’t just get told character is shy or something, you see it happen without the author hitting you over the head with descriptions. I love her writing

Nearly two thousand pages, 144 chapters… and we get the first sex scene (a very vague one at that). Romance girlies could not imagine what we danmei girlies go through.

“You have to accept that I have flaws, even the king is not perfect.”
“No, you’re perfect. I like a wife who can bite my head off with one crunch.”

They are simply ✨perfect✨ together

Felt like coming back to this and omfg I hate myself for reading multiple things at once since I forgot what the current sub plot is and had to backtrack. Anyways I like how at this point Bai Chunian and Rimbaud are finally an official (married!) couple and how they no longer hide who they truly are (obviously Rimbaud could never pretend to be a human but Bai Chunian revealing he’s not human is a big step for him)

How is this so good? It looks like a silly little funny fantasy but the world is unexpectedly complex and so is the story, anything even resembling a plot hole has just turned out to be some insane foreshadowing. Not to toot my own horn but I can really tell when a writer is skilled... and this one really is.

I’m sorry, Bai Chunian is HOW old…???!!! Talk about an age gap relationship, damn.

Ahhh they got married ❤️
(Ugh I’m finally in a reading mood but I have so many essays going grade first…:( )

Nevermind, Rimaud isn’t unhinged. ERIS IS. Holy crap. I hope he will stick around and won’t be just an episodic villain, he is so crazy :D and as inhuman as it gets… curious to see that objects can become sentient experimental subjects too.

“Omg this is the first time an adult has been kidnapped and turned into an experimental subject!”
Meanwhile Rimbaud: 🧍‍♂️

Hm I should read the prequel. I don’t care much about the bunny man (idk I just don’t care for bunnies) but Lu Shangjin is interesting
