天官赐福 [Tiān Guān Cì Fú] by 墨香铜臭, Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

5.0

this review does not do this brilliantly crafted, masterfully woven story any justice, so i urge you to just let another love story into your heart, to just fall in love with the characters because it's all so worth it. even if it's just one person, it's worth it.

"Only after having met you did I rediscover that it's such a simple thing to be happy."


if you've heard about heaven official's blessing but don't know whether it's for you, let me say right now that it is. at its heart, this is a love story between a fallen, considerate god and a mischievous but thoughtful ghost king. it's emotional and epic. don't believe me? just listen to this original soundtrack. i completed this in its entirety within 10 days and just finished with the most overwhelming yet satisfied emotions in my heart. this is one of those epic love stories for the ages, that spans centuries of time, in the mercy of fate, hoping that their red strings will eventually lead them back to each other no matter what.

"I might not be able to decide whether the road is easy or not. But whether I walk it is entirely up to me."


i've said all i needed to say in my first, second, third, fourth, and fifth review, all my heartfelt sentiments and all my thoughts. as every review goes on, you can see my downward spiral into obsession with this story (in my opinion, the fourth & fifth reviews are the best ones). the last thing i'll say is that i've completely fallen in love with this story, in a way that i've never done with any other. i've never felt so light and hopeful after reading a story. trust me — you do not want to miss out. happy reading!

official carrd (with the extras!). donghua is on netflix and youtube (with vpn). manhua (or on bilibili comics app!).
