Well, I enjoyed the author's previous works, but this particular book didn't resonate with me. The main characters and their supposed profound love connection didn't strike a chord. The story leaned more towards a slice-of-life approach, which could be appealing under different circumstances – perhaps if it were filled with sweetness, suspense, or intriguing elements. Unfortunately, I found it rather dull and unengaging. I would give it a 2.5-star rating.
Indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Although I empathize with Cheng Bai's tragic past, it's important to note that Cheng Yuanyuan didn't mistreat him as portrayed in the recent part of the narrative. Initially, Cheng Bai wasn't always there for the female lead, maintaining a distant attitude and developing feelings later on, which aligns with his past life sacrifice mentioned earlier. Now that his "curse" seems to be lifted, I sincerely hope he experiences love and happiness in either this life or the next. The male lead also faced significant challenges, so both characters underwent their own personal struggles, with Cheng Bai's ordeal being particularly harsh.
