It's like svsss (tragic before true love?, But they did like each other just the world was cruel) The development of feelings is slow burnt maybe???
It's a good story and the hardships are pretty good added, very unique like mdzs and husky and his white cat shinzu.
Now personal opinion..(spoiler!!!)
I think this is a long story because now he has possessed the prince after he sacrificed himself although it was unnecessary?, so we got another long ass fight and secrets but they're now together so it's fine IG??, I believe there's gonna be another problem and he will likely just trouble himself and his lover making the story longer..., maybe this story will end when the ML conquers all lands(country)? Like the original book.
(This story has a novel and i haven't read it yet so this is just an assumption of what I have seen)
