4.6.5/5
Please don't give up on reading this! Volume 2 gets so much better toward the end.
Ye Qin is still insufferable, though! His emotions are like a roller coaster, and poor Cheng Feichi is buckled in for the ride. Cheng Feichi deals with it all like a champ, but the constant shift from sweet, happy moments to Ye Qin being angry for no reason was so frustrating!
Ye Qin really defines the "spoiled young master" trope, and seeing Cheng Feichi—who is basically the human embodiment of patience!
So much happens in the second half of this volume. The angst and the time jump are amazing! I can't wait for the "chasing" and redemption arc in Volume 3.
Happy Reading!

⚠️ Spoiler Warning!
The fallout I was waiting for finally happened! Cheng Feichi heard everything directly from Ye Qin’s mouth from the other side of the door. Ugh! But even before that, Cheng Feichi’s mother was going through her own hardships and dumping all of it on him.
In the end, they broke up. After hearing that confession, Cheng Feichi went back to their apartment, found the jar of stars, and pulled out the one that called him a "fool." That hurt so much! He was completely broken and depressed.
5 Years Later:
Their lives have completely switched.
• Ye Qin is now an idol with no family. He’s shown some growth, though—he won't let others take care of him anymore. With his dad in prison and his mother gone, he is all alone.
• Cheng Feichi has become a young master from a prominent family! He’s still the same Cheng Feichi at heart, though.
The reunion gave me such second-hand embarrassment! Ye Qin had to go on stage and sing right in front of him, then had to sit just one person away from him at dinner.
My Burning Questions for Vol. 3:
• Do they start seeing each other more often?
• Will they finally have a long, honest talk?
• How does Cheng Feichi actually feel when he hears, "I miss you so much, Gege"?
I need answers!

"It's...almost like a chemical reaction. When I see him, when I see that he cares about me, my heart bubbles up. Steam rises from my stomach to my throat. It gathers in my head. It's as if every nerve is enveloped in it. It's almost coming out of me."
I had a complicated time with this one. I’m here for Ye Qin and Cheng Feichi, but I spent most of the first three quarters feeling frustrated, especially with Ye Qin. I get who he is. He’s volatile, proud, and so emotionally transparent it almost hurts. He loves loudly. When he feels insecure, he clings. When he feels left out, he lashes out and convinces himself he’s protecting something. But reading that play out again and again wore me down. I kept wanting him to pause, to listen, to grow up just a little faster. Watching him hurt someone who has already given so much was exhausting in a very real way.
What kept me reading was Cheng Feichi. He’s restrained and principled, and his devotion feels steady and earned. He carries family pressure and humiliation quietly, and when he finally draws a line, you feel the weight of it. Their relationship feels real because it’s built on small, ordinary things. Study sessions, shared apartments, missed calls, packed lunches that go uneaten. Rooms that feel emptier after an argument. Messages typed and erased. The repetition makes the love believable, but it also makes the fractures harder to ignore. The miscommunication drags on. The imbalance lingers. I felt the regret settle in long before the characters did, and that sense of helplessness stuck with me.
I also can’t shake the feeling that this volume would’ve been more satisfying if it had ended before the time skip. That emotional stopping point felt strong enough to close on, and I would have gladly picked up the next arc in volume three. Pushing past it made the pacing feel uneven and took some of the punch out of what came before. Still, I appreciate how the story lets consequences linger. Ye Qin’s growth is slow and painful, marked by guilt and longing, and it doesn’t pretend love fixes everything. This was a heavy read for me. Frustrating, yes, but also deeply human. I’m bruised, but I’m still here.

From bliss to agony. Cried so much I went to bed with swollen eyes.

September 21, 2025I’m dropping this at Chapter 10 because I have the mental and emotional capacity not to torture myself just to finish a book I’m not enjoying.
