this volume is so much fun, luo binghe really hits absolute peak unhinged behavior. it's extremely funny to me that i forgot half the shit he did at this point (poor gongyi xiao!) -- i think shen qingqiu's unparalleled ability to excuse any and all binghe bad behavior infected me. what a marvellous point of view to inhabit. truly a destined unhinged for unhinged couple

This one was entertaining, but also painfully annoying at times.
The relationship between Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe becomes really REALLY problematic and non-consensual in this one.
Also I absolutely despaired at how smart and intriguing Shen Qingqiu can be one moment, but then turn around and do the most dense shit possible.
Still, enjoyed the read and finished the book in 2 days.
