I would love to thank the author for writing such a beautiful masterpiece. I found out about this novel through its drama adaptation (Ancient Love Poetry), and I immediately fell in love with it. its hard to find a good xianxia romance that I like (there are currently like- 3, and this is my favourite), so I really really really really really recommend this.there are no plot holes. things are elaborated clearly. the story is very well written. the number of chapters dont exceed 100 so I finished in in 2 days.i searched for the raws and mtled it using google translate (cause I hate reading chinese, I cant speed read), so I dont quite understand the technical terms of the world, but from what I can tell from the raws, the world building is magnificent (id give it a 6 star out of a 5 if I could).though, one thing I should warn you is that this novel is very angsty. emphasise on very. from the start, it wasnt all that angsty, but I could tell that the later parts would be sad. and gods, did I predict it correctly.Spoiler
it all went angst when houchi (shenggu) tried to resurrect bai xiao? (I forgot his name so I think? this is his name?)
[collapse]yes and the character I love the most is bai jue. I cried reading his part and the amount he sacrificed and did just for sheng gu is impossible for anyone to do. it brought me to tears. hes 100% angst so look out for him.however, I really love the side characters too. though id like to know more about their background (id love to read their side stories if they existed), I thought that they were elaborated really well and had enough depth and personality to allow me to love them as not some side character, but an actual character who is not meant to only support the mc's.if I could, id rate this novel 10 stars, but unfortunately, the limit is five;-;. yes, for people who love angst, this is for you. personally I love angst, so this is my cup of tea. for those who dont like angst, try reading this to get out of your comfort zone. istg, this is the first novel out of hundreds that could have made me cry a river (i dont get emotional much). given that I used google translate to read this, and I cried- so much, this can say a lot about it. it has totally exceeded my original expectations.anyway, have a great read❤️❤️❤️p.s. pls write a review here if you can once youve read this novel... there are only 2 here, including mine
