sahlty's manga / #One Night Stand(21)

Uke has been in love with his best friend for years. One day, the best friend announces he’s getting married and so shatters the uke’s heart. Uke goes out for drinks at a gay club and gets picked up by a handsome stranger. Turns out the handsome stranger is the best friend’s brother. Seme gets Uke to agree getting into a relationship but here comes trouble, uke’s ex overhears Seme and his friends on a night out discussing a bet being made on the Uke. Ex doesn’t get the chance to tell the Uke so far (chapter 10) and Uke is slowly developing feelings for the Seme. Last read chapter 31, clearly the Seme approached the Uke with ulterior motives, with a bet on the line and dating is just a game to him. Obvs the Uke is still unaware of what’s happening, don’t think I’ll pick it up again until the chasing arc is here lol

FL is the daughter of a noble household, with an abusive father who intends on selling her off to an ugly baron. In order to escape from her fate, FL sneaks out one night and ended up having a one night stand with a handsome stranger she finds in a dark alley. FL gets pregnant and bus is able to avoid the unwanted marriage to be ugly Baron. However, FL’s father is a cruel and abusive man who locks her up in the basement and has her live as a servant. Three years have passed, FL has given birth to a son whom she loves very much. FL’s father has received yet another marriage proposal with monetary benefits, essentially selling FL away. Thankfully, FL is reunited with ML. She is married to become his wife and remembers him from the night they shared together three years ago. ML does not seem to recognise FL but FL definitely knows who ML is. FL does tell her son that ML is his biological father but tells a white lie so the child is not spread the secret. Meanwhile ML has taken a liking to FL and treat her very well and is very caring to words her and her child. It turns out all this while, ML has been looking for FL over the years to no avail. Unbeknownst to him, the woman he is looking for is right beside him and it’s currently his wife. As of chapter 29 some external drama is happening, the detective that ML has set to discover the truth from three years ago is being brainwashed or a bought over by another noble woman who intends to use this opportunity to escape her unhappy/tragic life. As said before, FL is completely aware and remembers the night that she spent with ML three years ago which resulted in her being pregnant. The plot has yet to unfold so look forward to more drama as the other woman tries to interfere and dig a place for herself in between the FL and ML. Unrelated to story, extra comments, art style is alright but is not as pretty as other stories which makes its not as pleasing to look at over time. Also, plot is somewhat draggy and not as interesting/engaging. There’s been a lot of chapters but not a lot of movement in terms of what’s going on with the storyline at the moment.

Yeah so FL is a knight who snuck out one day under a disguise to attend a festival. At said Festival, FL meets an attractive man and ends up seducing and sleeping with him under the influence. She wakes up and runs away only to find out later that she is pregnant with a mysterious man’s child. FL panics after learning that the tyrannical Emperor is looking for a woman that ran away and she kind of puts two and two together to realise that the mysterious man that she had a one night stand with was actually the Emperor and she’s actually carrying the Emperor’s child. FL slowly buy her time to figure out a plan to escape, thinking that the Emperor does not know that she is actually the woman that he is looking for. But ha ha jokes on her, the Emperor that she has been seeing in her dreams, who comes to visit her every night basically is actually the Emperor using his magic? Eventually she bolts, managing to evade the tireless hunting for her, settling into a quiet town and gives birth to twins. FL truly devoted her life to children and wishes to keep them safe. She also keeps her identity of what she used to be a secret for obvious reasons. Ultimately, she gets found out anyway and the Emperor/ML gets her back. I can’t really say that I support the ML in the story because he is pretty pushy and doesn’t really seem to respect the decision of FL. Like he acts kind of obsessed and just way too possessive of FL. I know they’re eventually going to end up together but it doesn’t mean that I have to support the relationship.
