Lu Zizheng is a humble beauty with no wealth, power, or social connections, while Jiang Huaixi is a prestigious and influential lady.

Hey, what happened to the distinguished lady?!

With wealth comes willfulness!

This novel was truly well written. Author Min Ran knows how to pull your heart string. I have never shed so much tear for a novel as I did for this one. I urge you!... yea you passer-by, give this a read despite the silly negative bomb reviews... It is evidence as not a single one of them left a comment.

I read in a forum discussion saying that this novel has a HE but inevitable ... more>>

as one of the characters will die due to bad health

but I think this kind of ending is so relatable. You can only truly appreciate someone or something when you realize you may lose it someday. Jiang Huaixi was a wonderful lover... how much caring and magnanimous are needed to truly love someone unconditionally like that for 6 years.

In an ocean of people, Lu Zizheng and Jiang Huaixi were lucky enough to have met, to love and to be loved. I feel that you don't need to be with someone until your hair turns white and your teeth has loosen to consider that a love of a life time. Simply, hold each other hand, share each other thoughts, cherish each other presence with no regrets - Suteki Da Ne ?! <<less

I don't understand why this novel has such a low rating, it's as if it was review bombed...

It's a very solid novel about forgiveness, trauma and of course love, more on the serious side but without any unnecessary angst and drama.

There are no useless boring side characters, no annoying side stories/chapters, it's all very well written and to the point, each chapter makes you want to read the next.

I have a read a decent amount of yuri novel and so far this has been the most well written of them... more>> all, granted the translation is superb too and helps alot.

Give it a try and don't pay attention to the reviews, I don't know what is up with that, I myself almost skipped it but found it strange since the title and premise of the novel seemed good so deciced to give it a try.

If you've read ''Her mountain, her sea'' and have enjoyed it even with the bad translation you will certainly enjoy this one too. <<less

Holy shit. This story is so well-written. But, if youre looking for something fluffy, this isn't the novel you should be reading. I sobbed so much in this novel. So beautiful yet so heart-wrenching :') this type of plot within the baihe world is so hard to come by. Solid 4.5/5, I would have given it a 5 but the ending felt a bit rushed.

Do you know what one of the greatest mysteries of life is? That this story has an average of 3/5 stars (as of now). To the folks that have given it a 1 star, I wish they had, at the very least, stated why. To have a strong enough feeling to give it such a low rating without saying why is truly very strange! My goal in writing this review is to sway some readers into giving this story a go and hopefully, give it its well-deserved 5 star rating.

There... more>> might be some spoilers inadvertently dropped here and there so please, read at your own discretion. I have only recently realized that the author of this story also wrote My Feelings Can Wait, which is extremely highly rated so I am really flummoxed as to why there is such a dichotomy between the two stories. I have yet to read the other because I cannot bear to start reading a story that will take a long time to get translated... the wait would be too torturous and a masochist, I am not.

First off, the stark warning at the beginning stating that it's MTL dampened my expectations somewhat but I went ahead anyway and boy, am I ever so glad I did. This is probably one of the best written story I have ever read. There have been moments of me squealing with glee because it's just so good!!!! The translation is not bad at all so please don't let that stop you from giving this story a chance.

The relationship between the 2 main characters is refreshingly different from almost anything else I've ever read. They have been friends for many years and both display tsundere characteristics and therein lies the reason that makes this story stand out. Usually, only one of the characters is portrayed as distant and unreachable but here, both are capable of dishing out harsh and reckless sentiments but they also share thoughtful tender moments that make me want to scream because it's just so lovely.

It's not a story that has a lot of miscellaneous characters and drama; the focus is on the MC and her relationship with the FL. I really appreciate that because we get to delve into their complicated relationship and also the complexity of each character's personality. The writing is very clever and I love the moments of humor, too. Frankly, there's not one bad thing I can say about this story. I'm only about a third into it and my hope is that it only gets better and better. I realize that people have different reasons why stories affect them but this story has touched me on a level I haven't felt in some time. I normally don't write reviews unless I feel moved to and if I could, I would give this a hundred stars. lol

Sorry for rambling on so much. This is a wonderful story. Give it a read... you won't regret it.

****

Just had to amend this review as I'm nearing the end. I guess there is quite a bit of drama in this story besides the love story we're all pining for. In fact, it's a tad TOO much drama but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

I still love this story so much. In fact, I'm re-reading it again while I wait for the rest to get translated. This is absolutely unheard of for me because no matter how much I like a story, I always need time in between to want to re-read it.

The author does such a fantastic job of delving into the human condition. There's a certain poetic way she manages to weave her words and it isn't too flowery at all... almost anybody can relate to it on some level, I think.

I'm kinda scared to read the last few chapters because I have no idea if it's a BE or HE and my heart cannot endure if it's the former and I feel like this author doesn't mind tearing our hearts out so I'm preparing myself just in case. Sometimes, feeling pain lets us know we're still alive. <<less

I would absolutely say that this novel is absolutely fantastic!

Never mind the low rating, this story is heart wrenching but at the same time tells us a lot about love and sacrifices.

I would really suggest you to understand and read the story thoroughly, it's amazing!

Not bad. I wished this was in ancient days though. most dialogs are so cringe I felt third hand embarrassment for these people (thats why I rate it 3 stars instead of 4). BUT- BUT if this was in ancient day, their dialogs would have shot straight into my heart and make me reminisce in their meanings. THESE kinds of dialog belongs in an ancient setting. for a modern day setting? im over here going stoppppp lol. so much goose bumps.

with that said, this novel will give make you experience... more>> the full circle of life and hell. you will have tears, you will laugh, you will feel angst boiling in you. you will feel frustrated etc. I dont really hate anyone. all of these women needs to hold hands and sign up for therapy, this is not a joke.

the characters I love: the one and only with the most cringe words Jiang Huaixi (FL). but if I imagine this girl wearing those Xianxia clothes sitting in a tea house or standing under a peach blossom tree, all her dialogs are to die for. I can even hear my heart beating.

and the other one is xu baihan. XB is such a lovely person, just a total sweetheart through and through. her story is so heart wrenching. her story broke my heart into pieces.

overall, this novel is a not a light read. it touches on life, bully, trauma, identity. how scared school kids can be resulting in them acting in such a way that ruins another's life. regrets, sorrows etc (im not really good with words as ya'll can see).

the ending was...

Spoiler

*flips table* why did the author have to kill my Jiang Huaixi (FL) like that?! even lian xuan (MC's first love) had a bad ending. she is not the best but she isnt bad either. her family is a mess so she is naturally a coward and I understand. she was a kid. the only good ending was xu baihan. I guess one good ending is better than no good ending. im still fuming bc FL died.
