Relying on my outstanding looks and celebrated family’s social standing, I engage in intriguing battles in the financial markets. Carefree and mischievously, stirred up some trouble.

Rong family’s guileless and sincere eldest son, Rong YuJiang ignited in me noble aspirations like never before.

I do all I can, using all my wiles, throwing myself behind him in the Rong family struggle for inheritance. Was it my compassion for the weak? Was it my delight in an amusing situation?

Or was it due to another reason for which I am unwilling to admit, that I have already fallen in love with him…

I tried, but this novel made me lose braincells.

I'm generally fine with dark romance and a plot that isn't afraid to go into dark subject matter, but the execution must be good and the more serious plot points must make sense.

In this novel it did not.

The MC falls for the ML extremely quickly and for no reason. I've seen this happen before in novels (and I'm usually not fond of it but can overlook it if the writing and plot are generally good), but here it makes no sense. The... more>> MC is a playboy and while he might be obsessed with the ML as a potential difficult conquest (like the MC in 'In Love With an Idiot'), the ML just gives in to him super quickly and there's no reason for the MC to falls for him so fast. Especially since they barely interact except for kissing a bit.

The writing style is very basic, nothing is fleshed out. Some of this is probably due to the translation, but even if the translation isn't that good, there's still so much missing.

It's a very dogblood type of story, but even for a story with a lot of melodrama, it's too much. The SML is cartoonishly evil, and not in a fun way. Seriously, there's no way he would get away with what he does, his family, if for no other reason, would care too much about their relationship with the MC's family (who are rich and powerful) and about protecting their own precious son from harm (even the harm he inadvertently inflicts on himself through s*upid actions) to allow him free reins.

After the SML first tries to r*pe the MC and gets caught, his family would keep in under control - since he is obviously mentally disturbed and they would know this. A guy who does the things he does would have in real life have committed other offenses first, he wouldn't just start acting crazy because of the MC.

When the SML commits his second offense by

Spoiler

gang raping the MC and trying to kill him, it's clear that he is mentally ill

[collapse]

By doing this, he is basically risking his own life, and considering the person he targets for his crime, he would know this - his family certainly does.

So his behavior makes no sense, unless he is mentally ill - and in that case his family would have kept tabs on him, since his behavior puts the whole family at risk.

The MC's reaction to

Spoiler

gang r*ped and disfigured

[collapse]

is completely illogical - his reaction is just not how a person would behave at all.

I dropped the novel after this, it was too s*upid. <<less

The plot twists in this novel were dazzling, and as someone that absolutely adores the dynamics of obsession, it was just a thrilling read. The push and pull, loves-me-loves-me-not; it was disturbingly romantic in a twisted way. It's a fantasy, a bodice-ripper if you will. One would have to be extremely naive or entirely unfamiliar with the romance genre to low-rate a story that follows the classic 'damsel in distress meets overbearing romantic barbarian' stereotype. Especially when it's done so tastefully and with such a masterful level of cunning. I... more>> hope Feng Nong dazzles us with more scintillating yaoi in days to come. Also, I'd really like to thank the translator for their efforts, this story has so many characters, I remember looking at the raw and despairing that anyone would ever even bother. Have three deep bows from me, you have earned them. <<less

Like other reviewer said, this couple is a match made in hell

I am actually really glad that they end up together, so they can spare other people from their crazy antics

This novel describes about an ugly side of love

Beware that the male lead is not as pure as what we expect him to be, and our MC is not as fragile as we expect him to be

This is not a story for those looking for something sweet and nice. The couple here is a match made in hell haha. But the progression of the story was very good and the as well as the translation quality.

There are warning bells very early on... it just gets worse. Actually, nothing gets better. No redemption, only resignation haha.

I love these kinds of story so I'm giving it a 5 star rating.

The ML is crazy, in a vety seriously f*cked up way. The MC has a strong personality and not... more>> a push over which is a plus. But in the end, the ML is just too strong. <<less

This is another masterpiece from Feng Nong. Obsessive Lover is definitely my cup of tea. This story stress another view on love just how love has multiple shape. The translator have done a good job completing this Bittersweet love story.

I really love thiss.. Really really love it. It just that, until the end, I still refuse to call this love.

The obsession is too much. They are sweet, then they are scary. Against such calculative and manipulative person, I feel really sorry for MC, and everyone around him. This type of love is too dangerous. But seeing how things keep going, and still going between them, I think no one can ever separate them. The MC is trapped, but it's a blissful cage. It makes you feel content.

This is one of the stories that made me me want to stop but then there was a nagging in my head saying that I need to finish it because it will be worth it and yah it was really worth it. I love the message of the story, how they express their love. It is full of manipulation but it is on a unique way. Like I love the way they struggle for the one they love. I really love this story. Worth reading. Just simply wonderful.

Full of drama, scheming, twisted love.

It is quite heart-rending ride, but I loved it.

It is not everybody cup of tea, but is written quite well.

If you, you liked huo huo you long, sickly tyrannical (it is way more tragedy).

At first I like the story; it was cute and all. There nothing boring about it. The lover is psycho, keeping his lover but no he was not abusive. Hes a liar and spying on his lover and ppl. The story line most part talk about busniess.... I keep reading hoping there be love scene or anything... but nothing... this novel is not yaoi.

Pretty good, not earth shattering. A twisted story but that's how I like them😏. These two homies should be left on a deserted island to deal with only each other. The End. 😑

Read the tags.

I don't even know how to convey the level of f*cked up the ML is. I even read some reviews before venturing into this story but I underestimated how cruel the ML. The idea of Yandere ML being cruel to the MC is nothing new but this story took it to the next level. Also, just when you think you know all of the ML's misdeeds you discover more. When you think about how their relationship started out so normal-like to how they are in the end it's... more>> kind of crazy to see the huge contrast. However despite him being so devious and callous I really liked his character because while he is a Yandere he also has his own ambitions.

At first the MC is a slick and self-confident s*xual man with everything but an encounter with the ML changes his life. He loved the ML so much. He was utterly devoting to him. However, the MC slowly descents into madness over the ML's misdeeds. His love and his hate for the ML kind of sets him off into a road in which he targets his fury on the accomplice of the ML rather than the ML himself.

This is by far not a kind story. It is full of bitterness and blood. Any dogfood is filled with nails. <<less

I had read this story long time ago and had a good impression. I didn't like the ML of this story. I think he is too pretentious and has mental issue (with how he treated MC). But I really liked MC and I felt like ML didn't deserve the MC at all.

Kudos to the translator for finishing this short novel.

-------

Wow this was another bad read. I'm rating this 1.5 stars. I love possessive, obsessive, and yandere characters but this novel disappointed me. Some reviews are saying that the ML is crazy etc but we don't really get a feel of his character. Most of ML's plans/thoughts/feelings were conveyed by his minions, and even his enemy. I didn't see him express his "great" desire for the MC; throughout the novel I think he only said I love you twice? And most of... more>> it was flashback from the MC. ML barely talked in the whole novel and that's pretty sad consideringg he's supposed to be the ML ?

Nonetheless, if you want a quick read about some problematic couple the go ahead. <<less

I almost wrote this off as your typical 'Stockholm Syndrome'... in the end, I'm impressed.

Most relationships in fiction are pretty romanticized. There are hardly any arguments (and if they are, they tend to be misunderstandings) and hardly any things that make you think 'this is the straw that breaks the camel's back.' Yet in real life, such things are pretty much impossible. Think about your own family, do you unreservedly love each member of your family because they are perfect? Of course not. Nobody is perfect. We can't choose family.... more>> We get used to their shortcomings, we live with them, endure them, even if we think we can't.

Because each person has their own desires, priorities, and goals in life, there is no such thing as a perfect relationship that will fulfill every single one of your needs. No matter how much you love someone, they will still make mistakes, sometimes horrible, irreversible mistakes. And it's up to you to decide whether it is worth continuing in spite of the flaws.

The desperation/obsession/'love' presented in this story is very similar. The entanglement is deep and as thorough as family. A feeling of being unable to break away, yet unable to forgive and forget. But this story, despite the horrible extremes the characters go through, manages to present the kind of love that is true to life. (It is very f*cked up though.)

Spoiler

This novel also plays around with the idea that if there exists such a person who can give their entire being into loving another person, into orbiting another person, how would such an extreme emotion be balanced? In order to achieve the kind of relationship that novels frequently depict, the kind of love that others romanticize and want for themselves, what kinds of sacrifices are required?

This story was a little dissapointing as how could he stay with a person like that people truly are strange. To many complaints

I thought he shouldn't have stayed in an abusive relation

I remember reading it last year I guess, I dont remember much but this novel still left quite a impression on me for me to still recall some details.

it was quite thrilling reading it and the plot twist was amazing. ML is just way to crazy in a very f*cked up way. In earlier chapters he appeared quite decent, later seeing his real character amazes me. I love the MC he was smart and quite strong.

A huge applause to the author and for the translators as its quality was amazing.

Rating: 3/5- very disappointing. A beautifully created MC just becomes a worthless dim wit by the end.

SPOILER ALERT!

... more>>
Spoiler

This had incredible potential but the gang r*pe which should have been the defining moment for how the ML and MC progress, did not hold much value to the dynamic between them and destroyed this plot. That was the pivotal moment in the story and yet it was downplayed and forgotten and it ruined all realism about tragic love. Eventually I felt that these two were not suited at all and should probably never be together. There was no love because no person in this universe will plan your gang r*pe and say that they still love you- then you in turn say all is well and love them back?

Huh...

[collapse]

Like that is a mental illness that needs to be treated if such behaviour is characterised as love and can be so easily forgiven.

The MC was pretty much an idiot and scum for using an innocent person as cannon fodder for his own selfishness. His character was also very poorly written with this arrogant and intelligent character, starting off in the beginning chapters and then ending into some unrecognisable weakling thereafter. The trauma was not well written into the plot and the time lapses were not appropriate to forge ahead with the couple being together.

Sometimes really messy plots can work out well, this was not the case. <<less

So the story turned out way different than what I thought it would be from the description.
So there's a major trigger in this work so please be aware of that by all means.
There's love but mostly it's about revenge and intrigue. Theres "romance" but mostly it ends up being a unhealthy relationship of domineering abuse and the victim who is the victim pretty much the entire time.
None the less I read straight through and couldn't put it down. I cried a lot. I was horrified a lot.... more>> It's not a fluffy romance like the plot summary leads to believe but it's not bad. And personally I wish the story was a little different and I think some of the characters were very out of ordinary but a good read nonetheless. <<less
