This world, filled with truth, goodness, and beauty, has a resounding name: Niangzi!" ✰ Actor x Actor ✰ Funny Misunderstanding ✰ Light-Hearted, Funny ⤷ i wish i knew more about chinese pop culture/history bc i know some of these jokes would have been hits. it was a super funny/cute read, and the art was pretty. i didn't completely get/appreciate the humor until like 50% through, which i regret. i was taking everything too seriously but that's just my drama-loving self. also i was confused when they got together, i was like "wait, where was the confession?" i completely forgot not all webtoons need to follow yaoi-logic, which is some dramatic confession of love. i read the novel alongside this for about 50% of it. the dick biting scene was so funny lmfao. i think if this was yaoi like the novel i would rate it higher, but they cut out all the smut smh. i know u can see the smut on bilibili but after many failed attempts at accessing the chinese website i gave up.

Mitsuya sneakily tries to seduce Eiji… but it turns out that Eiji is immune to his pheromones?! “Surely, you can still pick up on the fact that I’m making a move on you?” he muses, knowing that they’ll go back to being strangers the next day… or so he planned. This is the story of two lovers brought together by fate: a younger alpha who’s never fallen in love, and an older omega who’s scared of it." ✰ Omegaverse, Alpha x Omega ✰ Misfits - Unstable Heat, Broken-Bond Surgery Omega x Can't Smell Pheromones, Unstable Alpha ✰ "Love Triangle" (not really) ⤷ main story was good. they're both soooo hot. i like the progression of mitsuya coming around to eiji, albeit a bit quick for me. i thought the ex showing up was going to be annoying, but it was fine. The side story with the Italian man was not good. Also irrelevant didn’t really care.
