This is probably the only series where the MC did everything wrong in his past yet makes my heart clench for him as he desperately tries his shot at happiness despite everything.
Second ML becomes ML here? Past love instantly erasing previous crush? This has all the ingredients to be a huge hit for me and I am fucking sold.

Out of all the series I’m following, this is the most intriguing and one I’m obsessively following the most. The top has quirky yet princely traits and yet his character description says he’s also a regretful top? (Meaning he will chase the MC back due to some regret he have)
It’s being serialized on bomtoon and it’s making me deciding to go ahead with getting age verified there. The artist/author is very new and deserves all the support. Her artwork is breathtaking!

I have finished the novel, read thru in one night omg. All I can say is, wow. Green flag ml, good plot, hot smut - this novel has it all. It was the last leg of the story that made me sit up and pay closer attention, and I’m happy to say that it nailed the ending on such a satisfactory note which is more than I can say for some KR works right now. Both MC and ML character developed equally. Worth following to the very end. Has very positive reviews, and I totally agree with all of them.
I also bought the novels off ridibooks, as I get this inquiry a lot.

1) He is Shinru’s love interest. 2) And he gets ravaged by Shinru. 3) Yes, he bottoms for Shinru. 4) Shinru is absolutely and completely a top. 5) His feelings for Yuri consumes him at a level which his ‘obsession’ with Taeui couldn’t even compare.
Yuri was the one who fell for Shinru first, albeit still maintaining his professionalism. Later on in the novel, Shinru took his time but he falls HARDER for Yuri (it’s a case of ‘he fell first, the other falls harder’.) Shinru’s character development ties in very closely with his relationship with Yuri, and they explore even questions like ‘does Shinru really like Taeui or was he just pissed Ilay stole something from him.’ Something Shinru was seething over because Yuri asks questions that hit straight at his areas of weaknesses. Shinru can’t hide anything from Yuri but Yuri himself can’t hide from Shinru as well.
Tbh I love this pairing and I actually look forward to them more than the main pairing. Their side story Raga was enthralling to the end.

And the director ML will grovel big time later. His desperation will hit the roof. MC had a reason for being traumatized.
Edit : I purchased my books from Ridibooks. And when I edited my post, replies disappeared fror some reason. But yeah, wait for the sheer desperation, how it knocked ML off his smug pedestal. Not that I'm happy when a simple communication could resolve their misunderstanding, but with all its flaws, it felt good to see ML taken down a peg or two.

> readers thinking this is the gayest scene ever
Brace yourselves, comrades. This is /nothing/ compared to coming for us soon. This is the appetizer, and we are heading for the main course of Hyunjae x Yoojin goodness.

Oops sorry I just saw this…let me think…okay so the little scenes I remember is Yoojin applying lipstick on Hyunjae (and saying it looks good), sensual af wine pouring scene, Hyunjae giving pink gifts and Yoojin being a tsundere at first and then gradually warming up to it. Yoojin drools over Taewon’s body and then Hyunjae gets jealous so he compliments Hyunjae saying he has a nice face.There’s also a scene where they smoke together with the same “lighter” There’s a lot more.
On a broader scale, it’s harder to talk about how intimate they are without reading the novel, but one of my favorite aspects of the novel is their “breakup” I’ll keep it vague there’s some points of the story where Hyunjae realizes Yoojin influences him so much and makes him feel differently that he completely shuts out Yoojin for the fear of himself changing. And then Yoojin is EXTREMELY hurt during these periods, and he reacts very intensely lol (like threatening to bomb Hyunjae’s house) And also as the novel goes on Hyunjae is one of the people Yoojin expresses his feelings to (since he usually bottles it up) and it’s so, so sweet how much they rely on each other. Also throughout the story it’s basically said that Yoojin is the person Hyunjae cares about the most (and then a certain someone else but it’s a different relationship) Anyway, Yoojin having a child in it of itself is not that impactful to me, but it’s more the relationship they form as two dads and this kid that really shine to me. Like they are literally a married old couple.
