Cute ending buuuut it really irks me and it doesn't make sense that he still talks and listens to his brother when he also raped him??? Even worse because they are blood related and he treats it as if it was just some kind of fight between siblings. Also his brother is still an asshole in the present life. So it was super irritating, it's so inconsistent with how he is towards the emperor when they are both trash. And speaking of ML drastic change like this will only happen in fantasy. It was literally traumatizing. It's something you can't just get over with a simple sorry. Abusers will always say they won't do it again and they will be sweet to you for some time and then hurt you again. But since this is not real it's romantic because it's just a story.
Ughhhh wtf! Guess I'm gonna have to let this marinate some more. Although I think the author is not the type to drag conflicts for too long judging from the flow of the story. I hope I'm not wrong but to be safe, I will need at least 5 updates before I read this again. It was so cute omg! There's no smut but gosh even just ML touching Shen Chen's here feels electrifying. Way too good!
I was right but I hate that I was right. I don't know if I can brush off the fact that he is a stalker and this is not real. I've watched too many crime docus fatal vows, deadly women, fatal attraction and those in Netflix and 100% of the time people who kill their partners were obsessive. Need I say more for stalkers? No matter how cute this is I can't brush it off even if it's fiction. The only future I see is a toxic relationship that will end in death with either one of them ╥﹏╥
