Not much, there won't be much progress for Ilay in current book. In fact, Tay had to endured endless SA/grape in the future. The manhwa censor some details, like there is one scene in later chapter, where manhwa removed completely the scene where Ilay choked Tay so hard because Tay mentions that he want to meet Xinlu to Ilay
This story is actually quite heavy, and deserves to have psychological tags because of endless SA. We can never hope for their relationship to progress in book 1:Passion, at least not until we reach Passion: Suite.
