4.5 stars

This is actually a cute short read with a tsun tsun CEO and his model ML. The way CEO acts is actually very cute and funny (he has a CEO and golden backer handbook that he follows to a T and ML indulges him). The plot just follows their daily interactions and CEO gets a bit suspicious of ML's background but ofc nothing much happens.

There's actually some ... more>>

Spoiler

non-graphic sm*t if you erm read between the lines so I do rate this as a more mature reading.

I will warn, as for why I also cut 0.5 stars, ML can be very controlling if you look at their relationship from certain angles. Like how he restricts CEO (e.g. Not wanting CEO to go drinking at all). Almost yandere-ish also? So some people may not be totally comfortable with their relationship dynamic. But if you take it with a grain of salt and just as a short read, it's still an okay read.

Also MAJOR warning regarding this short side couple that appears

Spoiler

the doctor side couple has the bigger red flags for the controlling yandere flags. Almost like a overly controlling one, because that relationship didn't even allow the doctor to go out beyond 5 hours and stuff. YIKES. Only appears in the extras so skip if you're uncomfortable.

As someone with BPD, I can imagine that this ML is basically how I'd be with my future partner. It's scary how accurate this story interprets what I feel in daily life.

People with BPD aren't monsters or unqualified lovers, they're just a liiiiitle more unhealthily possessive of you than others.

It felt like a chore to read, even though it's a short story. There's pretty much no relationship development between MC and ml, even after MC found out about ml's background. It's basically just ML constantly being in heat and MC accepting his possessivness while feeling wronged. That's all their relationship amounts to, I don't see any fluff or romance here, besides sleeping together there is nothing else that connects them. A disappointing read.
