This is truly a marvel. Chu and ziming are one of my most adored characters in yaoiworld. Chu has actual sexuality issues and conclusion and ziming has his own issues being a gay man. The plot development is intricate and well done, the art is gorgeous and what’s most incredible abou this manga is how very reaslistically, the struggles of being a gay person, gay relationships and sexual identity and confusion as well as coming out are depicted. There’s a strong emphasis on what trauma does to you, and the availability of therapy and professional help to resolve your issues. I love their journey together. Chu has the most character development and I’m in constant awe of that. Ziming also learns love and is at almost all times the example of consideration and patience as well as devotion (given the time period) one of the most powerful scenes was when ziming chose for himself what he chose after meeting his father. There’s a very stark difference between him and chus lived realities. I like how chu handled the sleazy qin feng business and how they resolved things. Physical violence is never permissible and that is possibly that one scene I dislike in this. The poetic words and story lines combined with everything else makes this manhwa a gem. To summarize, this will definitely be written down as one of my favorite all times.
