WHAT. WHAT DID I JUST READ??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ZHEN DIED😭 I understand why he had to sacrifice himself to put the world back into balance but STILL. Prince Xian will only be truly happy if BOTH his mother and Zhen are alive. Trading one life for another seems pointless...

...I did not see that coming...that was done SO WELL. At first I was like "oh Hei Xing is just a grumpy old tortoise"...then, "Fahai disguised himself as Hei Xing?"...before finally, "WAIT THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON?!" I thought he was supposed to be the wise old mentor character but he was the VILLAIN!!! And then right when everything got happy, XIAN'S MOTHER DIED??? WHAT.

"A soulmate is someone who knows everything about you, maybe even knows you better than you know yourself, and who will stand by you no matter how dark or ugly you feel inside. You'll get mad at each other sometimes, but you can imagine spending the rest of eternity with this person, because you know the two of you will never get tired of each other...or stop loving each other."

SO MUCH HAPPENED. AGH. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH THIS. IT'S JUST TOO GOOD.

NOOOOOO I'M CRYINGGGGGG I KNEW FAHAI WAS GONNA RUIN EVERYTHING!!! Interesting that Deng attempted to help Zhen out of prison though. Just goes to show that a little kindness goes a long way.

"A stone on the wéi qí board couldn't be moved unless it was captured. The boy who had shared an apricot with him in the stable, who had made a pot of pu'er tea and taught him how to savor it, who hadn't hesitated to wipe his bleeding nose with his own sleeve...he had captured Zhen's heart."
AWWW ALSO I'M 100% SURE FAHAI SAW ZHEN TURN INTO A SNAKE

PRINCE XIAN THE MAN YOU ARE
NOBODY HURTS ZHEN AND GETS AWAY WITH IT
Also the whole "don't lie to me anymore" thing...it's gonna be so bad when the prince finds out Zhen is actually the white snake he's hunting😭
BUT THEY'RE SO GOOD FOR EACH OTHER. XIAN GIVES ZHEN A PLACE TO BELONG AND ZHEN TEACHES XIAN TRUE EMPATHY. AGHHHHH.

OMG. IT'S. SO. GOOD. I picked this up as something to read while I waited for my other books to come in the library, but WOW. I'm obsessed already! NO WAY PRINCE XIAN JUST CHOSE ZHEN TO BE HIS COURTESAN. I'm screaming and kicking my feet!!!
