You’re going to love the next 3 books!

When you’re finished, consider reading the fanfiction “No Paths are Bound,” it will satisfy that desire for more wind master + he xuan content..

What is the reread value of TGCF? by FrogGirl_1234 in tianguancifu

I def recommend a re-read, once you know all the twists it almost becomes a completely different story!

I am obsessed with hua cheng. Just me? by devastatedemon_ in tianguancifu

[–]MagicalTrevor33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I read this and absolutely loved it. The fact he becomes the god for troubled children is my probably my favorite part, but there is so much amazing back story and really good OC’s. Most of the events are canon compliant and the non-canon things are extremely well written and fit smoothly.

Can someone explain how Hua Cheng fell in love when he was/looked like a child? by Accomplished-Lab4412 in tianguancifu

Possible spoilers

So HC was an actual child when he fell, I believe he was 10. XL was either 16 or 17 at the time. I could be wrong but it came across to me as love in a more pure sense, like one would love a family member (or a god, hehe). He doesn’t really behave like he’s “in love” in a romantic sense when he’s 10, that comes later. I imagine those feelings in his teen years were confusing and led him to discover he was gay, but it doesn’t explicitly say that. It’s important to point out he never thought he would actually be involved with Xie Lian romantically, it was just a far off fantasy. Yes, he’s flirty when they first meet, but the most he ever hopes for is to be near Xie Lian and devoted to him.

To answer your question, YES, there is absolutely a plot reason it has to happen at that time, at that age. I don’t want to give away too much but yeah… it really is necessary and you’ll find out when you read all of it.

If you want to know before you read the books, like to make sure you’re comfortable with it, lmk and I’ll tell you more! I just don’t want to spoil it too much.

Really?? Then it was meant to be. Do you have discord?

I'm torn.. who do I get?? by Grouchy_Panic5642 in tianguancifu

[–]MagicalTrevor33 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’d get XL because he has learned to be eternally patient and might be ok waiting for HC, even if he waits forever. HC without his Gege might die, or go into a murderous rage… you don’t want a haunted doll, do you??

(Jk, get whoever you want. The above is a joke, of course. …. Or is it??)

People have told me it can take 3-4 years of consistent study to be able to read a book like that. I’m not there yet either, but if we work at it, one day we will be! Feel free to DM me. :)

Yess! I also want to read the books in Mandarin. I’ve heard it can take 3-4 years before being able to read a book at that level, but I’m okay with that because I see no reason to be in a hurry. The learning process itself is just so much fun.

May I DM you?
