Absolutely beautiful, from beginning to end.

It delivered everything it promised and so much more. In the blink of an eyes I was emotionally attached to the characters and just wanted to see them happy.

The historical aspect is so rich and is no way boring, you learn so much without even noticing.

The prequel was great, but this is the icing of the cake. The absolutely beautiful ending of an absolutely beautiful story.

I love this novel so much. Their love story is beautiful.

Thank you for translating, you’ve done a good job.

I wish it connected a lot more with the sequel and it kinda did, but I wanted more. However, that doesn't stop me from giving it a five star because this story was wonderful and heartwrenching.

I didn’t expect to be so emotionally invested and exhausted by this novel. Thank you to the translator for such an amazing job bringing this gem to us. By the way, it’s really a R-21 level of smut. Ah, I ached so much at the wrenching ending — it’s a HE with soul-deep realism, is all I can say.

LoveD this novel !! Its such a meaningful novel that it made me ponder I've the all sweet novels I have read.

This made me ponder if they truly live well till The end or if fate brought them something unexpected. This novel was a good combination of angst, fluff, and bittersweetness .

Plus the story becomes more meaningful If u have the the prequel before and the ending totally hits u hard. Although Im myself not a big fan of angst and usually run from it but in loved this novel.

... more>> I would reccomend to read the prequel first, then read this as it would make story more meaningful and excite the readers to see how their story folds in this lifetime. <<less

This is my first time I'm giving review on a novel.

This novel is really tear jerking and I don't even know how to explain in words. The MC and ML relationship are so deep that I've never seen in any other novel. Do not hesitate to read, you'll be missing it. It's a HE so don't worry, it's rather the way both MC and ML devote to each other that makes this novel so beautiful yet painful at the same time... Don't know how many times I've cried while reading... more>> this.. <<less

I was looking for some angst novels and I noticed I still haven't rated or gave a review on this after a year or so. I remembered how devastated I felt after reading the Prequel novel and read this Sequel to ease my grief. Boiiii how heartbroken I was while reflecting on life. It was a bittersweet story of two limetimes, two souls. Ugh. I felt like crying and getting depressed just recalling the events here. Anyway, it's a highly recommended and well-done novel!

P.S.: Better read Living to Suffer before... more>> starting this novel. <<less

This book is good, very good. I usually read BL just for fun, I don't expect top notch writing or something deep. But this one hit deep. It's not your typical light bl novel, it is a real "Novel". This should be published as a real book. I've learned so many things about chinese history from this single book. It's like reading a real story based on real life events. It's sequel is "Living to suffer", but this 2 stories are so different. "Living to suffer" is fictional ancient... more>> theme but this sequel was very realistic. But both stories are written beautifully and bittersweet. I wouldn't read this story again, (like I don't want to watch Grave of fireflies again even tho it's one of the best WW2 stories) It might be HE but also kinda sad. Where they really happy, is it really happy life and happy ending? I mean they are still together, right... They are victims of their time and surrounding.

I look forward to this author. Sadly there are still only this 2 books from this author? I think she could become mainstream instead of sitting in "danmei" corner of literature. <<less

Beautiful story. Second time reading it and it is still as heart-rending as ever. I wished it never ended but I also know all good stories must come to an end.

Au revoir Ch'in Ching and Shen LiangSheng.

I dont have words, this story is like those classical literature that I read in school. Patriotism and love both co-exist. I won’t lie, I wish I had enough money to make a movie for this. And not just a simple small budget movie, a full movie with good actors, beautiful sets, dramatics, everything

I haven't written a review for a book in the longest time, but I had to for this. If your conflicted on whether you should read it or not you definitely should, the prequel living to suffer made me sad with how they couldn't be together but for this they could experience growing old together and go through lots of challenges together. I hated shen Liangsheng in the beginning of the book with how he treated ch'in ching feelings but he had his redemption arc.

The story is honestly so bitter... more>> sweet, the way the author infuses poetry to the story also adds to it's appeal.

It's deserves high rating and I definitely recommend it as your next read. <<less

A beautiful but bittersweet story set during a time of upheaval in China about a schoolteacher and a rich young master. Read the prequel “Living to Suffer” first if you want to understand all the references in this story. The story is only 27 chapters but the story will suck you in and take you for an emotional ride. Like the prequel, be prepared with tissues.

Translator does a fantastic job especially with providing links to the cultural and historic references in the story. This is truly an unforgettable story.

No. Death do not do them part. They together till the end. Their ending is beautifullly written.

Through story, I hate Shen Liangshen domineering personality. He has record of failed Chi'n Ching before (prequel novel). I also blaming Chi'n Ching submissive behaviour. He's the type liking to be prisoned cause the matter of feeling. Good thing Liangshen change his behaviour as he acknowledge his feeling. Good thing Chi'n Ching fall for that man.

At the end,

So, Till Death do Us Part more correct as premise what they part with is world. They still together till the end. <<less

Anyways this book is lovely, and the ending is too perfect, I enjoyed every moment of this book.

It's a very good piece of literature and the translator did a very good job too.

Great, amazing book! Read the prequel before this if you can stand bad endings because it gives you the complete picture. This is a happy ending though. And it is written spectacularly and translated amazingly.. And also the smut is hot lol

Recommended!!!

Coming back more than a year after reading this to say that I’ve read several books already, but remains to be one of the best I’ve ever read. To this day, I’m still crying over it 😭💓 This is definitely a good read with good smut, good angst, and good fluff. If I could give multiple 5 star ratings I would because this story definitely deserves it. Thank you as well to the translator for the good translation, and for being diligent with explaining the historical background and the footnotes.... more>> It really helped in appreciating the story more 💕 <<less

This is my first review on novel updates because I really wanna say this.

Thank you to the author and translator. You make this novel so beautiful and the journey reading this novel and LTS is one that I won't forget. If I can erase my memory to re-read these novels I will do so.

I wish some company pick this up and make these novels into physical book (without changing the translation because it was done so well ady) because I surely will buy it.

New readers, read LTS and TDDUP. You... more>> won't regret it <<less

it is incredible!

the whole night I couldn't stop drowning myself in tears. it is composed beautifully and can't even describe in words how it is affected and deeply engraved in my soul. it is really worth to spend the entire night to finish in one go...i haven't cried for a story as much until this one. it deeply touched my soul.

if love is like these two" through thick and thin together, no matter rain or storm or windy.... how bumpy the road is " in this story, once in a... more>> lifetime, I really wish to taste that kind of love, madly, deeply and truly, even just for once is enough.....

i still couldn't be able to move on from this... dizzying from crying too much at the last chapter.

I want to be in love like this with one person through in every reincarnations.... truly, madly, deeply... for ever and for always. thanks the author and the translator for this unforgettable story with the simplest and awesome, heart-wrenching and fantastic love story...

"Retribution is not to be taken lightly; separations and meetings are all foreordained".

"This mole of yours is truly distinctive, and it's here out of all places. It's obvious that you were a lady in your last life, and your lover made a mark with rouge so he could find you to continue your love after reincarnation." <<less

I read this in one go from morning until midnight. I haven't cried this much in a long time. At first I was seemingly just looking for a hot, steamy Yaoi novel to read and in this regard, I was not disappointed. What I didn't expect was the fascinating and breathtaking story underneath, written with so much care and tenderness, that I could never experience in this kind of form ever again. Truth is, I just can't explain in words how beautiful Till Death Do Us Apart is. Every... more>> moment felt real and heartwrenching until the last sentence. I can only praise the author and the translator for their astonishing work and I plead everyone, who can deal well with heartache and swollen eyes, to go ahead and read it! I promise, it will be worthwhile. <<less
