I sincerely regret buying this book
I sincerely regret buying this book and also regret having to give it one star when I believe it doesn’t deserve any. I encountered this book by partly trying to read “Ten miles of peach blossom” translated in English and only found the book in Chinese with an English description about what its about. I didn’t know that this book was somewhat “Ten miles of peach blossom” I just thought it was a regular Chinese fantasy book, which is the biggest reason why I bought it, because I was interested in any good Chinese fantasy book and wanted to see what’s so great about it. I’ve barely read that far into the book not because I wasn’t liking the story, I was it’s just that I don’t always read the same book I like to read books at different times or at the same time. I’m writing this review now because I just found out about something very sad and disappointing.... A week or so ago I found the manga version of “Ten miles of peach blossom” on manga rock an app that lets you read mostly any kind of manga that you may think of from any author. I was scrolling through manga that they recommended to me based on the ones I read and liked. I was surprised and glad that I would finally get to read “Ten miles of peach blossom”, but as I read a few pages I thought I recognized the setting of the book where Susu was pregnant and about to give birth to Ye Hua’s child from the book “To the sky kingdom” I realized a little than that despite the different names of the books they are both the same story. I looked up online to see if both books were in a series and then fully realized that this definitely is “Ten miles of peach blossom” or “Eternal love” which people like to call it. I then looked to read some reviews on people’s thoughts of the book on good reads and what I read from some Chinese people made the right side of my cheek burn with embarrassment. Apparently this book is not actually written by the person Tang Qi who calls themselves the author but is a plagiarized work from another author who wrote a gay novel and other books. I felt so ashamed to have realized that I payed for a book that was funding a theft and probably hurting the original authress more wherever she may be. After reading the reviews I immediately took the book from my bookshelf and put it in my cart to sell on a sell back book website.
