It didn't really have me until the first plot twist. It was a nice romance, with some spite thrown in, but after the plot slapped me in the face with oh, you thought you knew where this was going, you poor thing, I couldn't stop reading. That's rare with me and published books these days, so it should be acknowledged.

The second plot twist I expected and was happy to see realized exactly so, that was VERY satisfying. I suppose that was rather the point.

A person could only take so much, and he'd had enough.

Nothing truly worth having comes without effort.

Well, who can ever tell what Cui Buqu is thinking, but I think Feng Xiao is falling first. Does that mean Cui Buqu will fall harder??? What would that even look like 🤔

I'm looking forward to finding out.

Not the “Earth is space Australia” I picked it up for.
