“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.

I didn't cry reading this. But not because it's not sad or tragic, mostly it's because I read this short story sparsely within two days because my recent tragedy binge read has made me suffer from pounding headache.

Although this story doesn't contribute to the evergrowing redness around my eyes, it definitely hits me in a different way. It's anxiety. As I read, my stomach was churning because I instinctively knew of what was about to come. The cells in my body were alert, I felt as if my emotions snowballed... more>> and it was growing to resemble an avalanche. I wished to evade but still I continued on because I need to know about his story, Shi Wen's story.

And his story was pitifully small and monotonous. He was only a teenager, being shoved into the Imperial High School filled with countless nobles who thought of him as the dirt under their shoes. But this Alpha persevered and inadvertently he found someone there who captured all his senses, made him infatuated. It could've been a sweet story about chasing a husband or even if it was to fail it would still be a funny and fond memories in their old years. But fate was cruel. Shi Wen was actually bound to that person. But at what cost?

This story wouldn't have to remain a tragedy if only Shang Yu was willing to listen, showed even slight interest with the person who had been faithfully by his side for a full decade. But no, his own arrogance caused his earlier misunderstanding and he ended up resenting an innocent person for years.

Shi Wen loved Shang Yu so much but there's only so much a person can take. No family, friends, his existence doesn't cause a ripple in anyone's mind and whenever it does it would only so others can disdain and say hurtful things about him. Shang Yu does know about the importance of bond but he delighfully erasing the part of Omega's dependence on their Alpha from his mind. Until it's too late... until all he can hold on to is regret.

I keep on wishing Shi Wen could've lived a better life in his next life. He deserves it so much. And in the next life, let him be loved by everyone he holds dear.

Thanks for the author for writing something simple yet heartwrenching. Thanks for the translator for the nice translation and for sharing it! <<less

I don't actually read tragedy genre not 'cause I don't like it it's 'cause I can't handle my tears they keep falling.

I really liked the novel, but will not be able to, and will not read it again, I might have vague dreams for some days regarding this one.

I liked the character of shi wen.

He saw things clearly, he knew their relationship could not go on. So he chose to end it by ending himself.

I think he would not have opted su*cide if he would have someone there for him, his family or anyone. Then we would have gave up their relationship and lived on.

He chose su*cide 'cause there was no reason for him to live, no person to tell him that "I got ur back". The reason he kept on going was the gong's mark.

Hhhhh! Anyway I cried a lot, tears were streaming down my face unconsciously.

I would definitely recommend it to all who could handle tears, heartache and pain well.

I purposefully wanted to read something sad and this really did deliver! It’s a great, short but impactful read.

I cried... Yes indeed you are not obligated to like who ever has a crush on you but.... It really hurts to read about his fear and pains... All the things he went through and he was forgotten.... Seen as the scum, lost his family... And so on

I swear I am not masochist for loving this story but😭🥺 I wish someone could save him even if it's not his alpha...

Almost everything was a blur while reading this - not because it was 5am and I just woke up when I suddenly had the courage to finally read this - but because my tear ducts were broken throughout the entire novel. My tears kept on flowing and falling, my lips and chin were quivering and my brows hurt from always furrowing.

You know what hurts the most? The both of them didn't deserve the pain at all🙂 Yes, including the ML. He wasn't the scum I was expecting him to be.... more>> If he was then I wouldn't be bawling my eyeballs out early in the morning. MC suffered 10 years and ML suffered 20 years or so. For those who said the ML deserved it, I just wanna laugh at all of your faces. Pretty sure you haven't read the 188 boys collection yet, or 10 years (yes that 10 years) ? How about The Gaze at the Scenes of Debauchery? Hua Hua You Long?

Sigh. Anyway, I like how the author didn't include a 2nd chance in the novel. It was... refreshing. After I've been fed a lot of redemption arcs from SQC's works (don't get me wrong I love them all!) specially after just finishing his Alpha Predator I realized I needed something new. Then here I am typing here while my eyes are still puffy.

Sorry this isn't a review you were hoping for but just some words and feelings towards the novel that I need to let out. It was a good way to clean my tear ducts though. But yeah, I really recommend this novel to all who loves dog blooded novels like myself here. It's only 9 chapters + 3 extras so give it a go. And bawl🙂🙃

This should be a 5 star, I don't know why it's only 2 when I posted this. <<less

It was quick and easy to read. There is no sweet moment from start to finish. There is only pain. If you like BE you should definitely read it.

So pathetic on both sides..

I especially created this account so that I can write a review.

This hurts so much, no matter how many times I read it I would always end up crying...

Its definitely a good read when you are looking for a heartbreaking, soul crushing story to change your mood.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Before I get started I want to say the story is fantastic and the translation is excellent. The writing style is spare and elegant, but captures the sense of time and place effortlessly. The worldbuilding is sparse but adds just the right touch to understand what is going on and get a grip of the normalcy of the world without diving so deep it detracts from the story. You can probably read the whole thing in 2 hours as long as you can see clearly enough.

What I was contemplating... more>> before writing the review - Have you cried lately? Do you want to cry? Like, REALLY ugly cry? At best you sit there reading silently with tears sliding down your face and snot pouring out of your nose, occasionally sniffing. The more likely option is what I did, trying to cry as quietly as possible as your entire face stages a rebellion in the form of liquid pouring out and soaking your shirt. This is the bad ending and the author does actually tell us that in a note - there is no happy in this, it is all pure, undiluted angst and heartbreak. I had been reading a lot of cheerful stuff and thought "HEY - it's summer! I can read something sad without sending myself into a depressive spiral! What looks good and will be a quick read before bed?" A week later and I'm still mulling it over and trying not to spiral. EXCELLENT story. Check your mental health first my dudes and make sure you'll be okay or take what measures you need. Might want to grab a box of tissues first. Not for the faint of heart. Or, you know, those worried about the sobbing and snot. <<less

I really feel bad for both the MC and ml. My hearts hurts so bad. I knew it was a BE but I cant stop myself. My heart feels like its gonna burst. Just why..... why do I have to torture myself like this. But I dont regret reading this.

the misunderstanding is too much, The ML came to a realisation a bit too late. He is too late😭

And the cliffhanger at the end killed me.

Thank you translator sama for this translation.

I was listening to olivia rodrigo's happier while reading this, the emotions hit me like a truck and it made me cried my eyes out. Would not recommend doing this, if your emotions are not stable like me. It really took me a long time to recover from this. <<less

My heart can't handle this...

This was too painful, the knives were continuous and I had to grit my teeth to stop ugly crying.

From start to end only one thought crossed my mind...

If only there were a single person, just one person...

A good author, a good one. Damn!

When I said I love to read angst novels or short stories, this is what I mean. The level of pain is so good even I’m bawling my eyes out at 3 am at the moment.

Glad to know that ML is suffering until the end. Take it as a payback for what you’ve done to MC (still think that he deserve more)

The author truly knows how hurt someone ah.. Never even give an extra where the characters can redeem themselves for their whole fvckin misunderstanding.

Self blame truly kills anyone and regret is a painful way to live.

Anyways.. I'll save you Shi Wen 😭

My eyes red every time I remember this story. This is why I don't like angst or tragedy novel. Even there will be Redemption arc, It's still hurt me as a reader. And here, the MC need to die so he can free from the pain. He don't have anything to hold his life, what a pitiful soul. The one you hold dear in your heart is the one who hurt you so much. You live in the hell, why don't ya move somewhere to heal yourself? Huhuhu..

And the ml,... more>> I just wanna talking shiiidhead to him. His cold treatment and his excuse make other treat MC more cruel. That's how labeling work in Society.

This story is short, but deep enough to hurt me. The sad thing is,

when MC die, he still need 3 days to be found out. That's hurtfull

I like the side story, how ML see mc's pain, but I bet MC will cry to see how pitiful his loved one's life. He is such a dear <<less

Short read but complete, the grief and angst, the resignation after a long emotional and physical entanglement that bore to nothing, everything is depicted greatly. It is quite poignant, I love it. Fated to meet, not fated to be together.

I cried for the MC. He was too blind in love.

They could've resolved everything if they only communicated but the ML was too s*upid to insinuate it.

The extras didn't help cause my anger for the ML just increased tenfold.

i did not hate the ml. Instead, I felt sorry for both of them. It feels like, the story was meant to be like this, the MC was meant to die, wallowing in grief and despair, the ML was meant to suffer in regret, guilt and self pity. A bit of communication on the ml's part could have solved the misunderstanding but he felt bound in the relationship, to him it was nothing but a duty to be with the MC. The MC truly loved the ml, well, he had... more>> nowhere to go anyway. If only they could start all over again, but shi wen was gone by then. This is the type of story that makes you feel conflicted and distraught, sorrow and helplessness, as a reader, for both of them. I only hope that in some other life, they are happy, and in love with each other <<less

I hope there is sequel for this story.. T_T, and with happy ending at their 2nd life.

Lack of communication can caused harmed, when you lost someone only then you know their value, I wish those people who have depression seek for help pleasw, your life is precious. If someone dont love you let it go, there will be someone else who will love you and you MUST love yourself.

To be honest, I want to experience what MC experience. I mean, if I would love someone to the point of being suicidal, I would want to also su*cide and make the other person shock or regret. I kinda have like a coward (good?) Personality like MC who would suffer in love but will never reitaliate so I will just let them regret by my death. I know it's bad but sometimes, I have those kind of thoughts but now, I'm single and I think I would never do that... more>> to myself if I fail in love someday. I learned to love myself and I would never sacrifice my happiness over a person who doesn't know how to value me. Anyway, this book is good. Especially coz I needed a book to make me cry. <<less

A decir verdad no se como reseñar esta novela, no creo que merezca las cinco estrellas, no es una novela super deslumbrante o fuera de la norma que me enganche, sin embargo la calificación no puede ser mala, tiene sus méritos. Estoy en un momento de resequedad emocional y no soy capaz de llorar fácilmente, sin embargo... Hubo un momento que si no me aguante.

Cosa que posiblemente no entiendo es como se desarrolló el amor de Shang Yu, pero al mismo tiempo no puedo tomar como irrazonable, solo puedo concluir que se había llegado a conmover por Shi Wen en algún punto, es solo que cada vez hallaba puntos negativos sobre él que al final lo llevo a alejarlo y repudiarlo. Pero en cuanto se fue, esa capa desapareció, dejando solo sus sentimientos más vulnerables.

Los dos hicieron cosas malas en mi opinión y no sabría decir quien lo hizo peor con el otro, pero cuando Sheng Yu dijo "perdió a la persona que lo amaba más incondicionalmente" no pude evitar estar de acuerdo, porque es completamente lo que sucedió, la polilla se ve atraída por la luz y se quema en fuego, creo que Shi Wen es tanto la polilla como el fuego, se atreve a amar hasta las cenizas. <<less
