About this deal
But within, in truth, he’d been treated coldly by others for so long, been feared for so long, that as he walked this long and lonely road, his opinion of himself had slowly crumbled to dust”. His low self-esteem, the age gap between them, seeing his loved one being devoted to other person will give you lots of sweet knives.
And Mo Ran, goddamn, is just the most unreliable narrator ever (and that's what makes this novel extraordinary). I hate student-teachers romances and any ten-year gap with the younger character under twenty, but this is where danmei comes and makes its magic.There's so many different types from the cold sect masters to the demonic overlords (in these types of stories alone).
If you do eventually decide to read this story, enjoy the slice of life and beautiful themes this story has to offer, including one of the most emotionally-invested plots with the most complex web, like, ever.The fact that Mo Ran shows he loves Chu Wanning with food is just *insert satisfied cat face here* And, like, even the CANDY has meaning?
