This was a quick read but pretty enjoyable. I love a good broken mirror story and this wasn't bad.The story first dives into how Yu Nian and Qi Wang meet, and it's a heartwarming story to read about how they slowly get close together. Yu Nian breaks through Qi Wang's indifference and cold exterior with his warmth and persistence. There were so many cute scenes here that had me smiling as Yu Nian discovers what it's like to fall in love for the first time. Then the pain hit with the breakup before transitioning to their awkward reunion 8 years later.I thoroughly enjoyed the first part of the story about their initial relationship, and I thought the breakup was done well too. I didn't like how Qi Wang singlehandedly decided what was best for Yu Nian, but his decision comes from a good place and he truly believes that they're part of two different worlds, especially after finding out about Yu Nian's family. However, I found the reunion and getting back together part lacking. Yu Nian initially is furious at Qi Wang, and for good reason, but imo he forgives Qi Wang much too quickly and they get back together fairly easily. Yes, Yu Nian never got over Qi Wang and still loves him, but still I would've liked to see both of them work harder to reconcile.
