My only critique is that this is was way too short omg I WANT MORE

sebastian is my favourite character it's official

here i am, once again, suffering from the second male lead syndrome

4 stars cause we could've been spared all the grief and heartbreak if only xingyin wasn't so damn dramatic, blind and stubborn ugh

everyone please READ this book!!!!!
