“Nobody’s going to buy me emeralds. Nobody’s going to give me babies. Nobody’s going to save my life.”

—Lawrence Block, “Eight Million Ways to Die”

I could finally be liberated.

***

It had been more than a decade since Shi Wen, an alpha who became an omega for the man he loved, had been suffering in the quagmire of the world and his partner’s indifference and disgust. As he was dragged into the darkness of death, he dialed his partner’s number. “I don’t regret it.” But all he got in response was the hung-up tone.

No one saved him.

***

Shang Yu indifferently hung up the call. Anyway, he would see him soon after that person’s gland removal surgery.

He never thought that that would be the last.

It's well written. The story can be boiled down to an obsession, misunderstandings and depression.

MC fell in love and changed for love. It was drastic, but it shows his personality- sacrificing for love. Changing gender from A to O is bound to have complications. And it's one he lives with for the 10 years they were together.
Spoiler

love that he had a secret identity even if it was done because of his obsession with ML.

[collapse]

ML is a powerful Alpha, and in the beginning he did think MC's scent was good. It was probably an attraction he didn't notice. It took 10 years for 1 misunderstanding to resolve and by then MC was gone. Living with regrets, bceause he didn't want to compliment MC, yet he didn't like seeing MC so insecure. However, it was the things he didn't do that brought about MC's ending and ML's regret.

This could all be solves in the beginning if they just communicate. But he believed MC trapped him. And MC didn't defend himself. But honestly if he said it was the omega who drugged ML, would anything change? The damage has been done. ML would still be responsible but would the way he treats MC be any different?

Honestly, the way the author wrote about what MC faced in the autopsy report was concise but everything cl**ked together. How MC's personality changes, his body changes, and his difficulties. 10 years of being bound together ends because MC thought ML would abandon him and MC doesn't have a place to call home. His family disowned him, he has no friends, he's isolated. With all that going on and ML ignoring him, I get why he chose to end it all. He was tired.

ML was stuck on his apathy towards MC that he didn't realize how unhealthy MC was until it hit him in the autopsy report. And he didn't even his body, only his ashes.

It was realistic how in MC's letter he wished to not meet or fall in love with ML in the next life.
Spoiler

He had one wish to meet someone who could save him. And at that point I cried.

[collapse]

ML did get his retribution, and only when he died could he see MC.

This story is short, but it's a tear-jerker.

My cravings for angst is fulfilled. My fear to fall in love has been reinforced.

Anyway, I love it. No one is at fault. It can be said that right person, wrong everything haha.

MC fell in love with ML but his love is selfless. ML is blinded by betrayal unable to accept MC.

Everything is too late.

Lesson? Don't fall in love. Don't give yout everything for a single entity. Live for yourself. Cherish yourself. Love yourself. Because no one will.

I feel so depressed.

Man... That hurt. Like a lot. This is the first time I've cried while reading a novel in a long time. The MC was hoping for someone to save him. Yet no matter how hard he begged, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how long he waited, no one came. No one saved him.

Would I reread? Yes.

Would I recommend? Yes.

Not as satisfying as expected. The Alpha wasn't a huge scum imo. He was a pretty decent guy considering what he thought were the circumstances of their bonding. ... more>>
Spoiler

The whole drama is due to a misundertanding, the alpha was freaking out after waking up and discovering he had marked someone, so naturally he thought the person he marked was the one that set him up. Which of course wasn't so, his partner only weakly denied it once and they never actually talked about that huge issue later on. The alpha took responsability, however he was cold to his partner, believing he had conspired to get him. His reaction isn't surprising, he had a boyfriend at the time and wasn't specially close to the ML, it was a shock for him.

[collapse]

Also, regarding the partner's efforts... No matter how much someone likes you and what they do in order to chase you, you are in no way obliged to like them back.
Spoiler

The surgery was a mistake, no one should have to change themselves, even their gender, just so the person they like might possibly accept them..

[collapse]

So, tbh I feel the characters were just set up by the author with several misundertandings and lack of communication.
Spoiler

For example, one main reason the alpha wanted his partner to have his artificial gland removed was because he felt that his original alpha scent was much nicer, but he never told him so

[collapse]
. So, in the end I feel that they were never a hopeless couple, just that the author wished for their doom. <<less

Had to put a review on this. I really like it, its nice, short, simple and tragic.

I actually felt bad for ML in the end because he ended up grieving and suffering up till his death. The ML isn't really a scum compared to other male leads in other novels but he still wasn't a good person. No matter how much he hated MC, he shouldn't have left a marked omega isolated by himself for 10 years- with very few visitations in between.

And MC....I feel really bad for him. Being... more>> hated by literally everyone definitely destroyed his self-worth and self-esteem. I wished they had communicated clearly but with ML being so stubborn and disdainful of MC, and MC not headstrong enough or brave enough to fully explain the misunderstanding, ig theres like no hope. I understand him not telling ML about his problems after being brushed off so many times and hated at. They (not just ML literally everyone) literally gave him no chances of explaining anything : (

Im not a big fan of people that only realizes what they had after losing cuz irl theres no second chance, like shouldve thought it through beforehand.

But the way author wrote ML guilt and regret made me sad. ML went through the 5 stages of grief and developed insomnia along with other mental illness. It got to the point where I wish theres a next life for both of them, where they can live happily together- since MC really loved ML and ML really was remorseful of his actions (MC definitely deserves someone better but alas he really stayed loyal to this jerk) <<less

This is personally one hell of a satisfying sadomasochism short novel largely about how a scum gong was being indifferent to his partner's state, his devastating shock when he learned about his partner's---

... more>>
Spoiler

su*cide

[collapse]

--- and how he desperately tried to endure the calamitous pain, regret, and sorrow.

In the first chapter,

Spoiler

it's about the shou's point of view until the moment he committed su*cide.

[collapse]

Then, most of the main story's chapters are from the scum gong's perspective.

Reading it can possibly make you cry (in my case, I ugly cried until snot was all over my face) as you feel bad for the shou while also having dark satisfaction as the scum gong suffer endless pain.

I love it. <<less

The angst in this was really good. Shi Wen (MC) had fallen in love with Shang Yu (ML) at first sight and even though they were both Alphas and thus 'incompatible' in the traditional sense, SW was still determined as ever to pursue SY. And because of an incident that led to a misunderstanding and subsequently the rejection of SW by not only SY but the rest of society for a decade, it was inevitable that SW fell into a major depression. This, in addition to his health complications, caused... more>> him to wither over the years. Even though SY ignored and disdained him, making it known to him and everyone else that he was just 'that person', SW still loved him. It was heartbreaking.

I liked that this was a BE because SY really did deserve to suffer the pain and regret of treating SW in such a way for the rest of his life. He deserved to miss SW with no hope of ever seeing him again, with no hope of ever making things right between them again. It was only right that there was nothing else he could do but atone for his mistakes. But also, SW deserved so much better - to be loved and cherished. He shouldn't have clung onto SY who never took the initiative to even treat him like a decent person. SY treated him so coldly until his last breath, and it was just so sad that he couldn't realise that he deserved better for HIMSELF, and not for SY. They were both imperfect characters who made their own choices and it was no surprise that their relationship was a tragedy. <<less

This is the kind of story one would like to read to stimulate their tear ducts, or to feel something, even if that 'something' is actually just heart wrenching pain.

The plot..... Has quite a few holes, but I gave it a five star rating because I could find complex characterisation peeking through the haze of clichés and tropes (that I do not dislike in the first place).

Personally, I'd never understood why a person stalking and annoying another person garnered so much love and sympathy from others after packaging everything as... more>> 'unrequited, pitiful love' and why people called the person who did not 'melt' or return those feelings 'heartless', 'cold' or evil. So I felt pleasantly surprised when I found that the author did not try to gloss over or package mc's actions as something valid or healthy. MC made his own choices, and there's no way to condemn him without becoming a hypocrite. He suffered and he's pitiful, but the author doesn't take sides in this one.

The ML, is a scum, but not a typical one. He did care for MC, he just didn't realise it. People annoyed at the fact that he didn't just realise that he liked MC till mc's death forget that emotions are not something you can just understand. Everybody has feelings they cannot untangle within their hearts, and so does ML. That makes him more human. That aside, he's still as unlikeable as any typical cold indifferent negative EQ gong found in most BL novels. He suffers a lot too, and I'm glad that he doesn't get something like a second chance.

I love second chances but most people who get them don't really deserve it. A shoutout to the author for sticking with the original idea and not giving into the desperate pleas of their ailing and wailing fans. <<less

Absolutely loved it. It's such a refreshing read from those annoying dog blood novels who give scum gongs a "redemption arc" (that they don't even deserve!!).

I'm both a big fan of angst and short stories, so this was most definitely one of the most delightful reads I have read in months.

MC is not without faults, and ML is not completely at fault. Though, I do think ML went too far, he gets punished with the guilt so it's fair.

10/10 would recommend if you like a novel about a scum gong... more>> that regrets his actions and doesn't get a redemption arc. Satisfying BE. <<less

The story is well made and it is full of emotions. This was definitely one of the best angst BL novel I've read. It is kinda same with the novel called "Muted"

MC/shou - Shi Wen (Former alpha/Artificial omega)

ML/gong - Shang Yu (Alpha)

  • The setting of a story is in a ABO set up. They are living in the hightech era.
... more>>
Spoiler

ML was drugged during the graduation party by an unknown omega. MC saw it and intimidated the omega with his alpha pheromones (at this time he has implanted himself an artificial gland for omega). ML has lost his rationality and bit the MC. When the ML woke up he blamed MC for the incident. MC's family cut ties with him and he had lost everything. Since then, MC lived with the ML for ten years, enduring ML's coldness and indifference to him. He has done everything he could do just to please the ML but to no avail, ML is still not moved.

MC actually has another identity of himself as 'Jiang Yu' and works at the company of ML. Jiang Yu's role in the company is big and is one of the important figure. ML thought that if only that incident did not happen, he'd have someone like Jiang Yu as his ideal partner. But in fact, Jiang Yu is the MC. (Jiang Yu always wore a mask, and only his gentle eyes could be seen)

We don't know how much MC endured, but we all know that he had enough of it. He wanted to break himself free from this torment.

When ML finally knew the real culprit of the incident. He was in a panic because he thinks that MC does not deserve the pain he gave to him. ML is a scum, but not totally irredeemable. He knew that he has to make up for it, but it was too late.

MC's last word at the phone call for ML was, "I do not regret it."

ML's perspective was shown after the MC passed away. It was so sad, but the pain he is suffering from is all what he deserved. It is revealed that ML was initially the first to be attracted to MC's pheromones.

I wish MC never ever cross path with ML or has feeling for ML. He loved too much that he forget to love himself.

The only thing I blame ML was he never give change of proper talk. Typical domineering male god, execute everything based on his believe. Yes, feeling can't be forced, ML has no responsibility to return MC's feeling but to no avail he never give MC a chance to talk. He selfishly thought he is a victim so it was justiceable for him act brazenly neither giving deep... more>> thought that his action only hurt MC psychology and mentally.

Its so hurt. ML know what would happen if marked omega not close to his marked alpha. What is more for someone with planted omega's gland. They would only suffer more. <<less

I absolutely loved it. I was crying throughout but I wouldn't have changed any of it. I loved how the MC loved the ML unconditionally and didn't regret even at the end. I loved how much the ML regretted everything.

I also think the extras were really well written.

... more>>
Spoiler

The 'What if' extra had me a bit annoyed at first because I thought it would be the ML having the chance to redo it all over again but I was pleasantly surprised- it was just him witnessing a scene from the past.

[collapse]

If I had to criticise something, it would be that I would have really liked to see the MC's family reaction to his death. It would have probably been indifference and disdain (which would have angered me), but I would have liked to read it, nonetheless. <<less

Dude, the ML is that type who rushes to conclusions, who also have communication issues why can't you tell him directly that you love his scent instead of saying he smells cheap (he didn't tell him its because of the implant thingy), dümb@ss.

aren't you a super rich guy??? Why can't you find out who drugged you that night instead of focusing your anger and needs to a guy who's just there when it happened.

Seriously, the story and angst is good amount (I'm a sucker for it). But that Rich CEO Business Tycoon/I'malsoan a**holewhosehigherthanyou type of guy pisses me off.

... more>> Sorry, I can't help rambling. Really sorry.

Anyways, overall the story plot is very good (love the angst), kudos to author and translator, we won't be here if it weren't because of them.

Lots of love 🥲 <<less

Depression in a nutshell. Anyways, ML got what he deserved. I just wish that MC got a happier ending. He truly was such a pure human being that died from the filth of society and the ML.

This story is like a heart wrenching version of "he love him too early, he love him too late."

I think this story hurt me more than it should have. Maybe because of the cliffhanger? Or maybe of the desperate situation Shi Wan was in?

I'm not really sure who's to blame because Shang Yu was kind of a victim too. But yeah, his indifference did have an effect on the recent situation and also a pushing factor for Shi Wan to actually end his life.

Pretty sad on the part that Shang... more>> Yu realizes his love for Shi Wan too late. And Shi Wan would never be able to know how much Shang Yu love and did for him.

We really do regret in the end. <<less

I think life has just really damaged me that none of these angst/tragedy novels can hurt me anymore lmao I’ve been looking for one that can make me cry but I’m still unaffected by their miseries and deaths.

It was still a good short read nonetheless. And I appreciate the translator and author for their hard work and the fact that it’s free! With all these DMCA and legal publications that makes us pay to read Chinese novels, I really appreciate fanstranslations nowadays.

I don’t like reading angst when I know its a BE but it was short and quick so I did.

I feel bad for Shi Wen and wished he left the ML and built a better life for himself but I understand why he decided to end himself.

Shi Wen has no one else to ask for help. His mental and physical condition would stop him from being able to build a new life on his own if he did leave. Although he would’ve been able to still work virtually. He didn’t... more>> want to leave the ML even if he was aware of how bad their relationship was so I respect his choices in this life.

Most of the misunderstandings were on the ML’s side. Its good that the ML felt regret and suffered with his feelings afterwards for the rest of his life. Gave me a sense of justice. But this would have been avoided if he better understood his feelings when he was in school.

Spoiler

The ML showed signs of liking the MC before his omega gland surgery based on his compliments of the MC’s rich red wine scent. He was young and raised as a high ranking noble so maybe he didn’t understand his feelings due to his teachings and only dated omegas while rejecting the MC because he didn’t know how to process his feelings about potentially liking an alpha. If that makes sense. It doesn’t excuse his treatment of Shi Wen. But its nice to know that its likely that he only liked Shi Wen in the first place. His treatment of his omega boyfriend in the extra didn’t seem like he genuinely liked the omega. Plus when he thinks of Shi Wen he thought of Shi Wen when he was still in school and probably still an alpha. Idk. I also think its cool that the MC actually used to be an alpha, even if he was a C-tier.

[collapse]

Overall, great story and quick read •u•

The fact I like the most about this story is that there is no going back.. No doing it over.. No rebirth shit.. Life is all about grasping the chance at right moment.. Death is the End.. Goodness !!! I have mixed feelings about the characters.. Miscommunication can lead to serious problems.. But to continue for ten whole years ??? That's too much..

MC : He should have made the drug thing clear with ML.. Even if ML didn't give him the chance to say it back then, MC needed to... more>> say it out loud later.. His psychological disturbance later is totally understandable though.. Long term isolation, ignorance and lack of love can push a healthy person in abyss.. Not to mention MC who was already suffering from pheromones.. Suicidal tendency becomes dominant..

He didn't get any treatment or counselling.. Didn't have a single friend to share his burden.. Living turned into a punishment.. He was so pitiful till his death.. ML : His apathy is totally out of the world.. His partner was losing weight rapidly and looked more like a sick person, yet he never even asked or thought about seeing a doctor FOR A f*ckING WHOLE DECADE !!!

Man, are you even a human ??? When you f*cked him, have you never touched his protruding ribs ??? Never noticed his emaciated body ??? Just how much did you hate him ??? You knew how much he adored you, then why didn't you try to say what's in your mind you piece of sh*t ???

I don't give a damn about what ML actually internally felt.. He never once tried to talk.. Never once carefully looked at him.. Dude ate MC's cooking without uttering a single praise.. FOR YEARS !!! If he didn't cherish what he had, he didn't deserve to get it back.. <<less

I've been loving to read these type of story for so long. Finally translator found this one and translate it, otherwise I would die unsatisfactory! It's not that good of an ending because you know at least give the shou a tiny of light candy would have been good, but this author just completely make the shou so miserable until death. Even the gong is also miserable until death and even in his last fantasy extra he's still suffering omg. I still love it tho, short but amazing work. All... more>> love doesn't have to end being returned, and sometimes indifference leads to regrets. So make sure to treasure everything you have right now because no one will stay with you forever even through all those pain.

This is the first time I don't blame the scum ML first.

MC chose not to explain himself about the graduation night. Weakly resisting with a "no" wasn't enough conversation to explain the circumstances of that night.

MC unilaterally chose to get an artificial gland.

MC chose to hide his work identity.

The ML is a bastard because it took him 10yrs to discover such easily accessible information. But the tragedy started with mc's lack of communication.
