honestly i have no words for this../

"in classical chinese, the characters ⼆⼼ referred to disloyal or traitorous
intentions; literally, they translated as ‘two hearts’. and robin found
himself in the impossible position of loving that which he betrayed, twice."

so real 😭🫶

reading off a pdf is so frustrating i legit can't focus 😭

i feel a lot smarter when i read this.

so far this book seems like super unpredictable, i'm always alert and on my toes when i'm reading it cus like for once i have no idea what's gonna happen, i'm getting chills and i love it.

(also i'm just gonna say this now but prof lovell seems evil omg)

the amount of racism and hate towards robin because he's chinese (cantonese..)

as someone who's chinese myself, it really hurts.

robin swift got me thinking of taylor swift

also apparently r f kuang used to hate taylor but i think in an interview she was like "oh yeah her new album is nice i'm not a swiftie but i like her music" (im not sure but i think so) 🤠

finally emotionally prepared me to read this.

so excited this is IT.
