Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 3 by Meng Xi Shi

4.0

This arc will definitely always be one of my favourites, so much character development happens in it and we finally get a real glimpse of how Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao have changed each other!! 

Seeing Yan Wushi’s softness for Shen Qiao slip through the cracks and noticing how he’s slowly starting to put trust in him and his character now perfectly portrays how much of an impact Shen Qiao’s refusal to change for the worse had on him. He’s finally starting to believe in his genuine kindness!! 

And Shen Qiao’s development also cannot be ignored, he’s lost all of his initial naivety now, even uses some strategies Yan Wushi used out in the world, but he still persistently believes in the good in people. It was especially refreshing seeing him be spiteful with his words and telling people what he actually thinks instead of keeping up appearances!!
