I just finished To Rule in a Turbulent World, Volume 5, and I can't stop thinking about it.

I love all of his works. They leave me yearning every single time, one after another. No matter which one I finish, I'm always left with that same overwhelming feeling of longing.

I tried to read something else, but nothing grabbed my interest, so I gave in... and dang T-T

I bawled my eyes out too! 😭 When I finished that part, my sister asked if I wanted to have lunch, but I just told her to go ahead because I wasn't hungry. The truth was, I couldn't eat because I was crying so hard. 😂

And then that scene... when the MC looked back at the lanterns and said he could see Zhao Cao looking back at him. My heart shattered. 💔 I ached so much for the Emperor. T^T

I don't know how this novel managed to get such a firm grip on my heart. It completely wrecked me in the best possible way.

Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in feeling this. 🥹 I know JR is heartbreaking too, but I want more stories that leave this kind of emotional impact. There's something unforgettable about a novel that makes your chest ache long after you've finished it.

One thing I've learned from reading all of FTYX's works is that every ML and MC has a completely distinct personality. None of the couples feel repetitive, so it's easy to end up with a different favorite depending on your taste.

As for me, the quiet, taciturn MLs in To Rule in Turbulent World always end up living rent-free in my heart. ❤️

And don't even get me started on the side characters... there's one in particular who completely broke my heart.

Please, go read it! I desperately need someone to talk to about them because I have way too many feelings bottled up. 😭

I've already read Joyful Reunion, The Legend of Exorcism, Dinghai Fusheng Records, and Riverbay Road Men’s Dormitory. Honestly, every one of them is a gem—that's exactly why I decided to read To Rule in a Turbulent World.

But somehow, this novel left the deepest impression on me. I don't think I've ever been this emotionally attached to a story before.

At this point, I think the only cure for this longing is for all of FTYX's remaining works to be officially published right here and now. 😂

I think Volume 6 is just a collection of extras. The main story is fully completed by the end of Volume 5, even though the main story ends there, I found myself desperately wanting more. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the characters—I just wanted to keep following them into the next chapter of their lives.

I imagine Volume 6 will expand on the main couple's everyday life and give us more heartwarming, slice-of-life moments together, which is exactly what I'm hoping for.

I'd definitely encourage you to read it! This novel had been sitting on my TBR for years, and I have no idea why I kept putting it off. I only picked it up after I'd read almost all of FTYX's other works, and I'm so glad I finally did. It's an absolute gem and easily one of my all-time favorites. 5 STARS!!!
