I can’t leave him in a time of need, even if my friends say it’s my biggest downfall. If there’s one thing I hate more than being hurt, it’s seeing Dex struggle.

But when his relationship falls apart and he turns to me for comfort, I cave immediately. Years of pining have left me exhausted, and I need a break from Dex. Pdl merch including stickers, standees, charms etc.The worst part of being in love with my straight best friend is the fact he’s too oblivious to see it. “In order to fool your enemies, you must first fool yourself.” Link: PDL Merch Also I love the author’s notes, the way she’s talking about her cat named Banana after giving us a chapter of angst lmao😂😂 Please don’t skip the extras as they are integral to complete the novel. If you’re a fan of historical kdramas and cdramas (but gayyyyy!!) with slowburn and hurt/comfort, angst with happy ending, then you will love this! (Also I cannot count how many cross dressing historicals I’ve watched just to get crumbs of queer content 😅) It was beautiful to see them slowly fall in love over the years and also watch them develop into such strong characters, especially Jingnu. Now that is the definition of a sexy brain! Reading about her plotting, deviousness, drive and obsession over revenge, and her devotion to Nangong Jingnu, the love of her life and the daughter of her enemy is absolutely stunning. Qi Yan Agula, the Prince of Chengli tribe is one of the most intelligent characters I’ve ever read. The writing is very beautiful, very much more than FGEP (though I really love that too) and I cannot reccomend it highly enough.

If this list doesn’t convince you that you need this in your life, this book is also fulfills BE GAY, DO CRIMES! This is an epic love story than spans over a decade, a tale of revenge with meticulous planning and contains: I’m not usually much for political dramas but this one was so good, I’m thinking I might be into it.

The plot is mind blowing, incredibly well written with each minute detail connected to the bigger picture.

Because of the length, I didn’t think I would continuously read it (and I’m also a mood reader and have multiple current reads) but surprisingly I finished it at a stretch. This is the longest novel I’ve ever read and I enjoyed every moment.
