I loved this book and the character arcs of this story were amazing. The author was building backgrounds, creating suspense and drama. However, for some reason she took a time leap and then the story and the author lost its plot. NOTHING made sense. The love story between the main characters lost its charm after the three year leap. The second male lead which had been created so beatifully, became like a pitiful creature with no real role to play. I actually liked Su YU more than Qin Chu because of he was characterized, how we devoted himself to hip mians's welfare. The author zeroed all that to bring the main focus of her book on the two kids that huo mian had with Qin Chu. They are supposed to be three year old twins with extraordinary intelligence, or so the author wants you to believe. Either the author has never had children or never met them. I love Chinese tales because they value tradition and respect for elders. These two kids are neither. They are rude, badly behaved and constantly are in the middle of ***** conversations - interfering in things NO CHILD can ever understand. After the three year gap, this story from an amazing love story became a story of "the tall tale of twins" and is now a story not worth reading. However, till the three year leap, please read the book. the love story between Qin Chu and huo Mian, the emotional maturity of Su Yu and the depth in all the characters even the villain - Huo Siqian, is truly amazing.
