I love Lan Wangji so much. He's so precious πŸ₯ΊπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Him saying
"Mine" to Wei Wuxian when he was drunk was so cute! I didn't think we'd get that so soon.


The fact that Wei Wuxian keeps joking around about liking men early in the volume and then later ends up with a man is just so much fun lol. He was so funny throughout most of the volume. 

If you don't want a slow burn with a LOT of plot, this isn't the series for you! I love what's going on though. There's so much. 

I only had a couple of issues with this first volume:
- Wei Wuxian drinks Emperor's Smile and says he never got to have it when he was younger but in the flashback, he did? Not a big deal, but it irked me a bit.
- Lan Wangji tells this long ass story explaining a lot about a specific incident. I would have much rather gotten that information spread out.
