Scrolling through my Kindle highlights to write this review just made me want to reread it, and honestly I think that probably tells you more than the actual review will. I'll still write it, though.

I want to start by saying that, out of all the danmei I've tried so far, this one hooked me the fastest. Meatbun's writing just clicks with my brain, and I think the translators have done a fantastic job in making it flow as well. But the story itself can't be ignored when it comes to intrigue. There's a whole first timeline that we don't know about, but we get to see tantalizing snippets, and there were moments where I needed to know how Mo Ran and Chu Wanning got from point A to point Z.

And then there's the reincarnation timeline, with its slow burn romance and damaged characters, and I was honestly eating it all up. 

That said, Mo Ran and Chu Wanning are both idiots, so I can already tell this will be a very slow build with a lot of pain before the eventual payoff. But I have faith that it'll be worth it.
