Mia Ferraioli's Reviews > Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 2

Oh, my god! This book! I loved this one so much more than the previous volume! The first one was amazing as well ! But, we're diving way more into the story plot and character wise so it left more for me to obsess over and to get into more.

Heaven Official's Blessing Volume 2, as a quick summary, picks up right where Volume 1 left off. Xie Lian now knows that San Lang is indeed the Ghost King, Hua Cheng. Upon going back to the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Emperor, Jun Wu tasks Xie Lian with traveling to Ghost City to investigate a distress signal made by an unknown Heavenly Official. From there we learn so much about Xie Lian's past before his first ascension near the end.

I was super excited that I finally got to read the Ghost City Arc and Xie Lian finally gets to see Hua Cheng in his true form. And when Hua Cheng showed Xie Lian his armory Xie Lian was in his own little world! And Hua Cheng offers to give Xie Lian his entire armory! How romantic. I don't know about you, but I'd want to date him in a heartbeat and fall in love right then and there. There were just so many moments of love between them that. . .I can go on for hours talking about them. But ! I can't do that and now I want to talk about characters: Both new and old ones that were expanded upon.

Jun Wu, the emperor. . .I know a spoiler about him so. . .I don't want to give it away but I do love how they make you think he's fair and just. It's so believable that when the plot twist later comes (which I spoiled myself with for excitement so I won't mention until later volumes), you'll be shocked. The Wind master aka. Shi Qingxuan was just pure love! Such an entertaining character and I'm so happy that Xie Lian has someone in his corner now and so glad to have them expanded on more. Feng Xin and Mu Qing are back; my beloved idiots. I loved seeing how they interacted during Xie Lian's past. And Feng Xin's fear of women ? Wasn't expecting it but found it so funny. Now we are at Qi Rong. . .oh Qi Rong you garbage boy stink rat man. . .was not expecting him and Xie Lian to be related. I don't know if I love to hate him or hate to love him. . .this is what happens when you spoil and don't discipline a child, they may turn out to be insane in life and even worse in death.

This paragraph will be about the man himself, the softest boy, Xie Lian. We get a completely different side to Xie Lian along with a shocking revelation that I absolutely didn't want to believe, but alas there's more to the story than meets the eye. I think of Xie Lian as such a kind and gentle person, but underneath that all is possibly an utter badass and I can't wait to know more. Appearances truly can be deceiving

Towards the end of this volume, as I mentioned before, Arc 2 is heading toward learning about Xie Lian's backstory, which I love a good backstory and so far I loved what I read. I'm excited because after this volume, I'm really intrigued to know more about Xie Lian and what exactly happened that led him to have ascended three times. I did hear it's so depressing (and after reading his wiki, I can agree) but bring it on ! I got tissues, I got snacks and I'm ready to be destroyed.

In summary, I love this book so much and Hualian invented love. Yes I've seen it mentioned a lot as a romance, and I don't want to deny the romance because it's there and it makes me wish I had love like that or something close to it, but it's so much more. I don't even need to ask if I'd read this again because I would. I might just read it while waiting for the third volume to come out.
