I feel like this authors works are just fever dreams. they kind of make sense but dont have enough length to actually understand anything. they would be such good stories if they were longer but they just go friends (> maybe some fucking if were lucky) > haha whoosh > the end.
they end where most stories would end the prologue. we only get a glimpseeeee
The novel explains how the mc and ml got closer when they were younger and is just more fleshed out in the beginning and has a better explaination. Novels oompleted too for those that are impatient.

Novels get taken down on wordexcerpt a lot, (licensing issues i think) idk if they will come back or not. Best to check again in a few days. But there's a few apps that rip translations which i don't use or support but they should still have this novel up. (Looking up "wuxia" or "novel reader" should find the apps, and sometimes the rips are on wattpad.
tldr - there's rips of this online and you can search for it, wait for if the novel comes back on wordexcerpt, or give up. There's not much I can do for you sorry :(
just wanna check in and say yeah it was taken down bc of copyright issues and that wordexcerpt is becoming legal with translations and theyre licensing most of the korean novels they have but idk which so heres a site with the novel if u still want it:
