someone give a light spoiler of the plot please im on chapter 5

Xin dies

holy shit

well not rly "officially dead" typa dies but hes very much on his way to the pearly gates

Call me delusional but I have trust he will live ngl I doubt lian would let him die like that considering she cares abt him so much. Also the story would just be plain depressing if xin dies and lau ends up all alone. Ik it’s been hinted at, but atp it’s been foreshadowed so many times I think it would be more satisfying to subvert that expectation rather than just going the straight route of him dying.
