Wow, watch me be long-winded and pour out all my thoughts about Gong Hua. :'D
I have to hand it to Yu Wo. She really did conclude Gong Hua in four volumes instead of the six volumes mentioned! I approached V4 with much trepidation since the series seems to have been prematurely ended, and my impression was that Gong Hua is one of the less popular (yet harder to write) of Yu Wo's works, so perhaps there's little reward for continuing it further. Ironically, Gong Hua can perhaps be considered her most intricate and ambitious work, but it's definitely not as "fun" as her other series. With the series regarded as a tragedy, just how were things to be concluded? In a single volume, when the end had seemed so far off with the ending of volume 3? I was a little scared to find out!
