😭 I did not expect this book to be about grief and family and regret and love and and and

Such vivid imagery! To see the winter solstice lanterns released at the bottom of the mountain just as Wen Shi jumps from the tree. 🤩

Zhou "Ballsy Menace" Xu 😂🤣😂🤣

I was just thinking... the romance between Wen Shi and Xie Wen were with Xie Wen the puppet, not Chen Budao the person! Does Chen Budao know that Wen Shi knows that they love each other? 🤔

What is this slight breeze that entered the room and flickered the candles? A spirit? Or just the air from Chen Budao entering the room?

The finger bone!

I'm still surprised that Zhang Yalin exists at all. How? Didn't his grandpa steal his skin? I guess I don't know what happens to the original owner of the skin when someone steals it...

Did Wen Shi create his own cage when he entered the Chen Budao cage?

Wowwww, I hadn't thought of how Xia Qiao was supposed to be Wen Shi's puppet and wondered why he was so different from his maker.

"Chen Budao, everything hurts." 💔😭

🥺 merely 3000 li away, never to return again.

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine 🙂

«To tell the truth, even if Wen Shi hadn’t gone back to Mount Songyun that day, Chen Budao had already made up his mind to see him. It was his birthday, after all—it only came once a year, and a lifetime was merely the accumulation of those years in decades. How could he bear to let that person spend the entire day alone?

He wrote a note, promising he would be back.

For though the soughing pines and lucent moon were but three thousand li away, fate did not permit him to return.»

The feather!  

«One of the blue birds was a little unique. Lagging at the very back of the flock, it soared around Chen Budao, circling him for a good while before finally flying away. Upon departure, it dropped a single blue-green feather.

Chen Budao stared at the feather for a long moment. Then, he reached out and caught it.

Leaning next to the door, he held the feather between his fingers and gazed down at it for quite some time, before folding it into his palm.

As was written in the ancient texts: Qingniao, winged emissary of the divine, messenger of longing and deep affection.»
