Iirc, the start is that MC is acting as a beta and working as ML's secy. ML is quite trumatized thinking his omega was killed bc of him in his childhood/preteens and even gets nightmare from time to time. He doesn't talk about it though, just being emo and avoids omegas like plague. Since he "lost" his omega, I think he feels empty and tries to fill it by slerping around with betas but doesn't get close to or open up to anyone. Then he starts sleeping with MC but doesn't realize he is an omega or his own omega bc he doesn't emit pheromones. His gland got injured badly in the attack that ML thinks he died in. MC thinks of himself as a "broken omega" since he can't emit pheromones. He wanted to be around ML to see if the ML recognizes him or needs him in his life but ML acts like a jerk, sleeps around and never talks about his 'fiance'/mate. MC doesn't know ML thinks he died, so he decides that the ML doesn't need him in his life and tells his sister he'll leave ML. His sister was the one who helped him get close to ML w/o exposing himself. But it is shown that the sister doesn't want them to get together so she teams up with ML's brother to separate them. ML's brother incites ML by acting like he is into MC and would steal MC. MC gets agitated that he'll lose MC like he lost his omega i.e. MC. The season , when we see MC saying he has decided to let go of ML and sister conspiring with ML's brother behind MC's back.
Actually MC is standing up for himself. But not to ML, ML is not the enemy per say in the story like in most chinese stories where ML really wrongs MC for the plot. Like it has been shown since the beginning, MC and ML met eo and kind of became mates in their childhood. Then they got attcked, MC got injured badly but from ML pov, MC died. The attackers talk about their target being ML, but MC tries to protect him and gets injured. MC knows who attacked them and wants to let ML discover the truth too and let him decide what he wants. MC and ML were both victims and MC knows that which is why he is putting up with ML. That and the fact that he does love ML, I guess. But he does come to point where he is like, he'll handover proof and leave ML. Its somewhere in 2nd season. Don't remember it, I left reading atp bc I had caught up and decided I'll binge it when its conpleted. So I haven't bookmarked it too. But thats the gist of it, MC wants to bring down their enemies with ML, if possible.
I just finished reading it and I think although ML is very scummy and I hate him for what he did, he also suffered like MC did. When he was treating MC as a substitute for his past partner (which is also MC), I think he was just mis-labeling his feelings towards MC bc he didn't think of (or want to think of) a possibility where he fell out of love with his past partner (young MC) so ig that shows how strong his feelings for MC was. That doesn't make all the abuse okay, but they both suffered for a long time and I think I can see ML genuinely start to make up for it.
1. Does ML cheat, abuse (if so, how)
2. Any other betrayal or conflict
I don’t mind some spoilers as long as it’s not over ch 40
I’ve read many Chinese BL novels before, especially Novel Group 188 that involves abusive and cheating MLs, I absolutely detest thoughts but for some reason I enjoy rage baits.
I enjoy rage baits as long as there is some face slapping revenge or making ML grovel.
Is this that?
