Prior to reading many novels and manhua, I really liked this manhua. But now I find it a bit lacking in character development as well as I question some choices the author made.
1. Why did ML have to get a substitute and actually have already slept with the substitute prior to MC transmigrating? It made his 10 year crush and devotion seem insincere. Especially because it was only 3 months after MC died. Additionally, Huo Yi was so rude to OG Jia Mu. I understand it’s a transactional relationship but he was so disrespectful. He’s the type to be a monster to others and nice only to the person he likes which is so weird to me. I don’t mean he had to fall in love with OG Jia Mu but he could have treated him like a human being. At the beginning, when ML still doesn’t know MC transmigrated he slaps MC and later throws several wine bottles at MC which could have cause serious damage if MC hadn’t dodged. That’s insane and it can only be assumed he treated OG Jia Mu like a rag doll he could just abuse. I also didn’t like their age difference and power dynamic at the start. It’s all types of no. And let’s imagine MC didn’t transmigrate as Jia Mu, how awkward and insincere would ML appear then? In truth, this plot device wasn’t necessary and ML could have just mourned like a normal person for the 3 months.
2. It was a bit icky how no one questioned how OG Jia Mu just disappeared? Or cared till the photos of his abuser were posted online. Everyone was so happy Yuan Mu was alive that no one bothered to wonder if OG Jia Mu would come back or showed concern for him. Particularly, ML who actually met the real one and knew his circumstances. Maybe the novel addressed this better but it was a bit lacking here. I did forget some of the plot and stopped at 114 today so it might have been discussed more than I thought but I read it 2x before and am pretty sure it was pretty little.
Anyways, it’s a pretty typical story and not too bad for a light read
Read till 150 and OG Jia Mu died bc of OD (to make ML happy somehow???) and they get revenge for him. But I still feel icky about OG Jia Mu being a substitute for MC. It’s odd to me, also it appears ML has spicy time with MC a lot prior to him starting to question if Yuan Mu came back to life…. this is the same man that will only love Yuan Mu in this life (according to all the characters, who condescendingly reminded MC to know his place) …. Clownery
I’ve been thinking for a while now that Luisa is suspicious. She def loves Mercedes and is the only person that could make a fake tresalma spell. Additionally, she gives off obsessed stalker vibes. Could be wrong but 90% sure im right.
Right? The whole things looks weird with Luisa on the equation. It’s making my spidey senses tingle
Glad I’m not the only one thinking
