poetic and aesthetically pleasing yaoi/Shounen ai with actually impactful plot

love the narration from the mcs pov

LOVE the plot it's well rounded and touching but WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK LIKE FISH welp

since it's based on an incredible novel and drawn my one of the best chinese artists, it's no surprise that this is bl par excellence

I added this cause the song mentioned in this story literally helps my anxiety

witty humor, adorable characters, captivating but not too heavy plot - overall a truly cozy read that makes you feel all bubbly and warm inside

a masterpiece of a tragedy that teaches about life death, trauma and how cruel a vicious circle of broken people breaking other people can truly become.
On the other side this story also teaches about second chances, second loves, self value, the bittersweet contradiction of finding happy moments midst tragedy and most importantly it teaches about the value of time as it should not be measured by length but rather by significance. He Zhishu&Dr.Ai are truly the most inspiring characters here
