5 ⭐ (the whole series)

oh Guardian, the place you have in my heart <3

This was a beautiful conlusion to the story. I find the story behind the four hallowed artifacts so interesting and I loved how much they explored this and gave it a proper ending. Obviously loved Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan’s story and loved getting to know more about how they met and how Zhao Yunlan came to be mortal and why and I’m really happy with how their story ended (I did shed a little tear at the end of chapter 24 cause omg I really thought shit was gonna get bad).

There’s a lottt of info and story dump in this book. Did I understand 100% of it? Fuck no, but Guardian is a story where you don’t need to understand every single detail to know the whole story, and it’s best to just go with the flow and enjoy the story as it is, which I did and even without understanding everything, I still loved it.

I wished Guo Changcheng's story was more developed? We get a huge detail about him and it’s just left there, when I feel like it could’ve been more explored. Also loved seeing his and Chu Shuzhi’s adventure and them getting closer as friends.

Guardian may be a bit of a confusing story, but it’s also beautiful, so detailed that really makes you curious to know more, amazing characters that tie so well into the plot, with such a heart warming and beautiful love story TT I love love love how well the romance is intertwined with the main story and one cannot exist without the other.
