The ending was abrupt and angered me a bit. ML was about to die and then this deity who appeared out of almost nowhere felt bad for them so decided to turn MC into a mortal and share half her lifespan with ML so they both can be together. What??? What sort of deux ex machina bullsh*t is this?!? It ruined any good feelings I had towards this novel.

FL is a ghost king so can't see colors, feel, or taste. They find out that ML is compatible with FL and is able to lend her his senses. FL and ML form a contract in which FL would grant ML wishes for his senses.

ML falls for FL first but FL is resistant because she had lost the people she loved. Also, ML's life expectancy is short compared to hers. But they do end up becoming lovers. ML has one goal in his life and is willing to die afterwards. The goal is to recover the lost provinces that was taken by the northerners years ago.

ML does achieve his goal. However, shortly after he is dying cause the lending of the senses hurts his vitality. He didn't tell FL cause he wanted FL to remember him. In the end, FL gives up her status and becomes human in order to save ML.

I just hate how the author killed Fang Xianye and Chen Ying HUHUHUHUHU. I love how the author crafted their character tbh. Fang Xianye's gentle ambitions to his unconscious desire for power that he almost fell into its trap, then finally regaining back his initial ambitions. I hate how he died but I'll hate it even more if he lose his original intentions and die as a bad person. As for Chen Ying, I still feel he's a child yet he died at the war as a hero.

I nearly get a heart attack when my precious baby chenying died, like wtf? It's so unexpected and abrupt I had to read it multiple times to fully comprehend and then I was disappointed with Fang Xianye and before I even had time to express it he also died, I was fuming with anger bc at least CY became a wondering ghost and he's "alive" again but not with FXY, My poor baby, one of my most favorite character he's so pitiful and I really ship him with ML sister but he didn't even get a reincarnation scene

the plot twist caught me off guard. I was not expecting ZJ to be such a important a character and I freaking love Feng Yi!! And my only successful ship aside from the main cp, aunt Jiang Ai and Bai Yanxing. And I was so worried they would die too but they didn't so I forgive this author, a bit.. but I'm still bitter abt FXY alas

after FL and ML die, they'll reincarnate and I would think they'll have their new partners and families. Just like how I don't wanna think (but still overthink) about FL's reincarnated mother. She'll have her new husband, children, while FL's father is gone forever.
