I usually able to read trashy manga with obsessive and crazy male lead that full of red flags, but we all know the female lead will still like him, which is fine. However, for Julius and Haven, I don't see much future in the relationship.
First of all, Julius crazily obsessed with Ilian and disregard her own personal feeling, which raised red flag number 1. This is a common setting for most of the male lead in manhwa: obsession. But most of the obsession does turned into love in the end. In this case, he is most probably clinging to Ilian because she made him feel safe around her as an adult figure. Which make feel a slight ick because of similar feeling as Oedipus complex (I know she is not his mom but I'm just saying).
Secondly, I don't really blame on Illian tbh, she just wants to live a happy life with her son. She might think Julius is handsome, but we all know deep down, she thinks him as a child that she knows from years ago.
Lastly, before he wants to fall in love, he should find a psychiatrist or have some counselling session cuz he really need one. FL is not a therapist and I don't think he will get better over time. In the end FL will suffer because she need to tolerate and put up with him.
I usually like obsessive, possessive you name any crazy characteristics in the ML but with a certain condition, that's to respect the MC. However he didn't do that, he lied on him, trampled on his dignity, destroyed his reputation in front of his clan and taking away his cultivation just to claim him. I really hope that MC can die in front of him because that is going to be the biggest punishment for the ML.
The story stopped at chapter 38 (the last update was in July 2023) where MC absorbed the poison into his body. Then he gives the ML a med to make him forget all the bad thing he did to MC because MC doesn't want he feels guilty. The good news is ML returned back into his cute puppy personality. The bad news is it's MC's turn to get poisoned haha
ML is handsome but he is more on cute side, but no one can defeat his father's handsomeness. Is the position of being your stepmother available?
The art looks a little weird to me. It looks like they put his baby head on an adult body and it just seems weird
