love this series, look forward to the 3rd book
So far a very good read but I totally hate serial reading. Why??????
Just let me read the entire book!
It’s so nice to read something that doesn’t revolve around possessive ‘alpha’ males and characters that aren’t stereotypically what society would refer to as beautiful. So refreshing.
Hi, love the 2 first books and would like to know the name and when is the 3rd one out please.
I am really enjoying this book its absolutely amazing
waiting for updates
Hey guys, I am adding the prequel for this story Lily Hates Me (Jacob and Lily's story) to this book. Read it if you want!
what a good start, omor the novel is a blast and a must-read,............
There are three recurring images in these chapters that I can't stop thinking about. First: the candle. 'Father and Mother left a candle lit for us.' A candle in the dark is such a simple image but it carries so much weight—it's parental love, it's home, it's the idea that someone is always waiting for you regardless of how late you return. Second: the copper coins. Two hundred wen, passed from Yu Banxia to her eldest brother who takes them without a word. That silence says everything. He's not greedy, he's protective. He's keeping her earnings safe because he knows how hard she worked. And third: the name Jing Wang—scenery and hope. The mother asks Yu Banxia to name the baby, and she gives him a name that literally means 'a future full of hope.' But here's what's interesting: Yu Banxia herself has no name that carries hope. She's 'Banxia'—a herbal medicine (pinellia), bitter and medicinal. She saves others, names others with hope, builds a future for her family, but her own name is rooted in bitterness. Is that intentional? I think so. The whole novel seems to be about people who carry pain so others don't have to. The shadowy figures couldn't take the mother because Yu Banxia stood between death and life. The family was struggling until she arrived. She is the candle, the coin, the name. And the Village Chief's prophecy—that she was pointed at by Taoist priests and monks before birth—suggests this isn't just luck, it's purpose. What is her purpose exactly? The text doesn't say, but I have a feeling we're only seeing the beginning.
