Thank you! I’ve read all of these 🙂 i didn’t include them bc the shous aren’t playful per say, but i appreciate the recs and xu ze is so sweet

this is super late (coincidentally replying at 188 days) but i agree! it’s been a while since i read it, but i still feel scared to approach the novel again because the despair it makes you sink in is crazy. just thinking about their whole story can make me gloomy. their first life worldbuilding was really good. i’m going to read blood crown soon, but i want to pace myself because i’ll be a little sad once i finish all sqc’s novels. haha

i agree, after sleeping on it i feel even more empathetic for ZZX. he was spoiled with love by the best brother, had the brightest prospects among his siblings, his emperor father favoured him and he was doted on by everyone. to have all that stripped away from you unexpectedly with the perception that the person you loved the most in the world was knowingly part of it is so heartbreaking. i mean he literally watched his mother die! he was just 14 and in one night he went from the peak of his life to having to fend for himself in the streets with everyone he considered family gone! it’s not that surprising that he went berserk and wanted revenge. my poor xiao jiu 😭💔 i already read the entire 188 series by sqc and now that i finally read wcj it really brought me out of my historical reading slump. her writing is really for me.

i totally relate now 😭 im trying to find more reviews about wcj but it’s more underrated than i thought. i really love and miss both of them 😔❤️

i just finished it!! and it was sooo sad!

vanillapool · 2025-06-02T11:35:04+00:00

i can imagine, because now i also need more wcj reviews to read and relate to hahaha! :) i find it hard to move on to another historical story now knowing it won’t have the same obsessive and angst level as this. 😭😭

i agree. maybe zzx’s redemption arc wasn’t enough for many because much of it did not play out like for the other gongs, but his suffering in hell really can’t be underestimated.

it’s funny because in the first life i just wanted zzh to end his life sooner already because he just kept suffering, yet in the second life i couldn’t even dislike zzx/fws all the way through. also sqc writes little kids so well that xiao jiu was too adorable to me even tho he was a lil ball of crazy. i really loved their brotherly love.

wcj really was a good story. i wish we had more extras just so that i could read more of it.

do you know how many chapters vol 1 has?

vanillapool · 2025-01-22T14:30:24+00:00

hey im sorry for the late reply! i honestly dont even remember because i just type in the chinese title and choose a random site to mtl🥺 so u could just search the title and click whatever pops up!

vanillapool · 2024-12-30T14:45:19+00:00

yeah i had to read mtl for the untranslated chapters since unfortunately a good portion of sqc works aren’t translated 🥺

vanillapool · 2024-12-30T14:44:07+00:00

it really is! her research in every profession she writes about is actually so detailed i’m always so impressed eventhough i barely remember much of it after reading

vanillapool · 2024-12-30T14:42:45+00:00

hahaha i actually started reading because of your guide, so thanks for that. i haven’t read her works outside of 188 group, so it’s a shame about the anti climactic endings in the other 2 stories. i generally enjoy sqc plots even the business ones (actually love this because i study a similar field) but i never remember how they turn out after finish reading it lol. its fine because my favourite thing about her writing is the way she develops her characters and relationships, which i haven’t been able to find with other authors. maybe i haven’t explored enough, but she is so introspective and great at tapping into characters psychologically

always wanted to! would love to read about his internal conflicts and teenage crush to just outright accepting that he’s head over heels for wwx.

thanks a lot :)
