heartwrenchingly heartbreaking, soul crushing, tear inducing, life altering.
I know people don't love the 2nd and 4th book of young Xie Lian but those are my absolute weekness.

We see XL suffering with PTSD and find out what happened between him and his 2 besties and why they left. It's depicts how XL's mental health just sinks into the pits and it's absolutely heartbreaking.

This book is shorter then the other but weights more pain and angst then I ever felt.
I was not expecting to tear up while reading the past of Xie Lian. This book scared me for life.
Known as the God of misfortune when all he wanted for the people is to have a good and non miserable life.
In this book we see Xie Lian at his breaking point and his cries for help was devastating.

Spoilers!
Now we now the true cure of the Human Face disease:

“This was the situation that Xie Lian feared. Once the cure for Face Disease had been exposed, one thing would inevitably happen.
The killing of one another.”

First of all, the stabbing on Xie Lian by the common people. I understand their desperation of not having the Human face desirable but what type of people would stab someone even if they are a god/immortal?!?! Listening to someone they don’t know aka The White no-face.
It is inhuman!
The abandonment of Mu Qing really hit me.. the trio breaking apart. Especially when Feng Xin leaving… (I understand why he left: Xie Lian acting like a sociopath and pushing Feng away, including his own parents.)

He'd finally left.
Ever since Mu Qing had left, Xie Lian had always
been terrified of this: that one day, Feng Xin would also leave.
Because he was too scared, today, Xie Lian could
no longer endure the torment of this fear.

When Xie Lian realizes that Feng Xin doesn’t fully trust him anymore as much as he did in the beginning and him screaming back on how he can’t show resentment as a god:

"What are you trying to say?" Xie Lian said. "It's not like I'm a god, can't I be angry? Can't I hate?"

-
The suicide of his parents; with them not wanting to be a burden to their son…

And the end: when Xie Lian was told that his last believer aka the white-clothed calamity aka Wuming the one who saved him was his last believer💔:

"To die for you in battle is my greatest honor. I am forever your most devoted believer."

Fucking stab me to death…

-
I wished that Xie Lian got a revenge persona honestly… he is a much better person then me.

TW: betrayal; death of parents; suicide; violence
