Well it’s not small summary but whatever lol
thank you for this omg i read so many stories at once, so more complex storylines just get mixed up in my head
Haha, it’s okay, I understand. I just really like this BL, so I keep rereading it to better understand all the details. I hope everyone can appreciate the appeal of this BL like me, even though it’s a bit hard to follow because of the plot is abit messy lol
Makes a lot of sense but u think the body gard really like him
I’m really intrigued by the story and the relationship, as well as the past between Jin and Jian. There must be a reason why Jin is so obsessed with Jian. I wonder what circumstances brought them together.
For now, it seems like their relationship is relatively comfortable for both of them(?) i mean Jian is trusting Jin. Even though Jin doesn’t approve of Jian’s lifestyle and has his own schemes involving him, Jin does seem to genuinely care about Jian. After all, they’re side couple…maybe toxic relationship one but yeah…
omg this is the best explanation ever thank you
The complexity of it is what makes the story good.
Exactly, I’m not saying it’s outstanding or anything, but I think the author does well enough to make readers care about the characters and the storyline—if the readers want to care, well at least I’m lol
Wowie, ty for this
It seems like many people are a bit confused about the plot of this story, so I’ve put together a small summary. This is a drama-filled story with many details that can be easily missed if not read carefully. Additionally, the author’s somewhat chaotic narrative style makes it a bit hard to follow. This gonna be long lol:
The parents’ generation:
Jitae’s mother is the official wife of Baek Jitae’s father, while Ji-an’s mother is just a mistress or perhaps a concubine(?). She holds a position in the Baek family’s company, but neither she nor Ji-an is respected. That’s why I believe Jitae’s father never officially married her.
As for why Ji-an is older than Jitae, it could be because Jitae’s parents knew and loved each other before Ji-an existed. During that time, Jitae’s father was either trapped in a scheme or simply unfaithful, sleeping with Ji-an’s mother and being forced to take responsibility for her child. Perhaps, since it was just a mistake, Jitae’s father kept it hidden from his lover. Later, he and Jitae’s mother got married and had Jitae.
At that point, Ji-an’s mother showed up, claiming Ji-an was Jitae’s father’s child. Jitae’s mother was furious when she discovered her husband’s betrayal but couldn’t do anything and resigned herself to the situation. Meanwhile, Jitae’s father was useless and failed to protect his wife and child, leading to Jitae’s mother being kicked out of the house.
Jitae’s father likely still loved his ex-wife(?), which made Ji-an’s mother jealous. Out of envy, she planned to kill Jitae’s mother and even tried to kill Jitae to seize the inheritance.
The children’s generation:
After Jitae’s mother was kicked out, Jitae was abused by his stepmother. However, since Ji-an was treated the same way, Jitae didn’t care much—until his biological mother died and he met Mi-eum. At some point, Jitae was kidnapped and nearly killed by Mi-eum’s father as part of an agreement with Ji-an’s mother. However, Mi-eum saved him, which led to Mi-eum losing his memory.
Determined to stop himself from searching for Mi-eum, Jitae decided to study abroad. During this time, Jin gave Jitae a black tape containing footage of Hajoon, Ji-an’s mother, and Mi-eum at the crime scene. This caused Jitae to doubt Mi-eum and explained why he treated Mi-eum so poorly in the early chapters.
As for Ji-an: In chapter 42, Ji-an’s mother said to him, “If you wanted power, you wouldn’t have followed me into this house and would’ve spread your legs for those in power instead.” This implies that Ji-an and his mother lived separately at some point before she went to the Baek family to demand recognition. At that time, Ji-an was six years old, but it’s unclear if he moved in with his mother immediately. Her words also suggest that Ji-an only joined the Baek household when he was older.
Ji-an’s mentally unstable mother raised him in an extremely abnormal way. Despite being her biological son, she used and controlled him for her own benefit while believing she had given him everything. This led to Ji-an falling into addiction and promiscuity. He was also harmed by Hajoon, Ji-an’s mother’s subordinate, who increased his drug doses to deepen his addiction and make him easier to manipulate. To make matters worse, Ji-an recently discovered that he isn’t even Baek’s biological son.
And that’s the story of the Baek family.
