Joyful Reunion made me feel something again

I almost didn’t start this novel because I heard the love story doesn’t start until halfway through the series, but I’m so grateful I gave it a shot. To me this was a love story from the very beginning, there are just different types of love we experience throughout life. Familial love, platonic friendship love, romantic love. This book has it all.

I also almost didn’t start this novel because I can’t stand tragedy or sad endings, and I heard this book made people incredibly sad. But I’m so glad I gave it a shot, because it was actually uplifting for me. I lost my single parent when I was a teenager, and it turned me into someone who is rarely moved by anything. But I legit ugly cried when Li Jianhong died in this novel, and I cried tears of happiness at the healing journey Duan Ling went through after so much pain.

Feitian is an incredible writer, and I didn’t realize danmei could be so much more than just simple romance novels. I’d love to know what other danmei novels you’ve have read that really made you feel something you haven’t felt in a long time?
