When Liang Shiyun and Chu Xia established their relationship early on….

I wasn't expecting this to be a crematorium but it was and so satisfying too. Tbh I could care less about the smut, the characters held my attention enough.

In college, he chose his studies and career over their relationship. He became successful. But he missed her and decided to move back from abroad.

I was genuinely pissed at his audacity to want his cake and eat it too. My problem was, he never even tried to have a long distance relationship. He CHOSE his career and only went back for her after he found success. It made me feel like she was an afterthought.

To make matters worse, she had a lousy set of parents who had disappointed her. The fact that he was one of those people who disappointed her, hurt me deeply. (I hated her mum until the end of the book because she was very unreasonable).

Anyway, he got to suffer just like she did, even if it was for a short while. He had to earn back her trust.

Warning: They are not each other's only s*xual partners. Especially for her, her s*xual partners have names and identities. This was the first time I was so happy to see it. Even if she was emotionally stuck on him, at least she got to sleep with others instead of remaining celibate while he slept around. <<less

It was bittersweet but I like the how realistic the portrayal of human relationships was. The career we sometimes choose over human relationships can satisfy us until it doesn't and you realize that achievements are great but having no one to share them with is a desolating feeling.

Can't blame the FL for the way she turned out because she was let down by all the people she was trusted and wanted to open up to. I also didn't particularly rejoice in the fact that she had multiple s*xual encounters not because I hold her to some purity standard but because we clearly read it did nothing but make her feel more lonely and empty. Those relationships didn't fulfil what she wanted deep down and just reminded her she wanted more than just a bed companion.

I'm happy they went through those struggles and that the ML did his fair share of work to be with her again (not enough IMO) and was the first to open up. As for her parents... quite disappointing especially the mum; taking her bitter feelings on her child and emotionally abandoning her, it was just repulsive.

.

Overall, some relationships are smooth sailing others have many ups and downs but I'm glad they worked out at the end and fought for their love. A little vulnerability and communication goes a long way. <<less

I know this is about the romance or wateva, but I just have to say that Liang Shiyun’s mom sucks. Truly. How are you gonna treat your child so insignificantly to the point that she becomes insecure and then blame her for the shortcomings that you as a parent are the cause of? This is gonna come off as harsh, but in light of the mom’s character I’m not at all surprised that her ex-husband stepped out on her. Not saying LS’s dad isn’t crappy for cheating, but he got... more>> his karma in the form of his failing health. It sucks that LS got the brunt of the fallout of her parents’ divorce and her mom never redeemed herself as a parent til the very end.

That being said, love love love the fact that our heroine was sexually free. Love that the author identified who her lovers were and actually paraded them in front of Chu Xia, the ML. I dislike that Chu Xia didn’t really suffer for how he threw away LS in their past. He’s the very definition of bare-minimum man and it’s kind of a bummer that he was end game for LS. <<less
