Why everything is painful about this novel? Everthing, every character... The author is really cruel ahhh, I can't even imagine how this will end.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for Cang Ge. At least Ah Zuo knows her relationship cannot be. Cang Ge is really innocent, not knowing the women he thinks of as his wife killed his brother and has such close ties to MY. How can Feiyan not see it’s hypocritical to warn MY away from ZC and then lied to Cang Ge so much, she didn’t have to develop such a relationship with him
