My Favorite Quote:

Life was not perfect; there were always hidden wounds, pain disguised beneath a smile, a price to any happiness possessed. Wa had to bear our burdens the best we could, for we alone knew their true weight.

Review:

This book is compilation of short stories that take place in Celestial Kingdom universe. Each short story is telling oneโ€™s character point of view. I really like every story in this book because itโ€™s sooo beautifully written. The book is such a page-turning book! Once I read it, I canโ€™t stop to read it.

The first story tells about Changโ€™e and Houyiโ€™s flashback. From Houyiโ€™s story, I just know that he actually felt guilty after killing nine sunbirds. But thatโ€™s all he needed to do so the world can return like before.

My favorite story is when Wenzhi becaming mortal and he met Xingyin.

โ€œI would move the stars for you. I would defy them all.โ€ โ€” Wenzhi to Xingyin

I love how the author write Wenzhiโ€™s character developments.

And from this book, I just know that Liwei is the one who helped Wenzhi to become a mortal. Sometimes I feel like Liweiโ€™s heart is too kind for this world. He always wishes for Xingyinโ€™s happiness and even let Liwei to meet Xingyin in mortal realm. But unfortunately, he doesnโ€™t really match with Xingyin. I feel like they match only as best friends. So yeah I am #Team_Wenzhi.

To sum up, I enjoy reaidng this book. The world-building is great. The illustration is sooo beautiful. The prose is lovely. And the characters are stealing my heart. I give 5 stars for this book. <3 Yโ€™all should read this book if you love xianxia genre!
