The main story is amazing! Getting to the end and reliving what I already know from the TV series was satisfying.
I knew WangXian get married, but I didn't know how graphic the story was going to get, and it got even more graphic in the extras. The use of r--- as a kink turned me off of the characters I had grown to love.
  I took away 2 stars for that.The last three extras were so sweet, especially getting to see Lan Wangji talking at random to his big brother, a moment I knew must exist but was even more grateful to see. I returned 1.25 stars for giving me those last 3 extras!

I love this series. It was my first danmei I ever got into, when I had to wait for the translations to come in on novel updates. I finished it with a full heart. It remains and will remain my favorite mxtx series!

Goddammit I am so disappointed right now. The first three chapters are the end of the story and a solid like 3/5–I think there’s SO much unexplored and it could’ve been much better instead of hyper focusing on the 2 “main” characters. My biggest problem is obv the extra chapters, because jfc talk about a MASSIVE trigger warning?? I really, really HATED the incense burner chapter and pretty much all the sex scenes kind of ruined the relationship dynamic tbh. It felt extremely out of character and kind of made me dislike the characters that I’d really started to love. And this is not me being a prude, it’s just really poorly written smut and horribly portrayed (consensual? maybe) non-consent. The other extra chapters were very okay.

I wish this entire book could just be rewritten entirely because it really could have been good. I’m so disappointed.
