Throughout the later half of the novel, I was shipping MC with Ziyang Pei. So when I found out that MC still ended up with ML (who did some really shitty stuff to MC) in the end, I was kinda mad. It was more of a BE than HE. The end, to me, feels like the MC finally broke down and gives himself up. He never really had a choice, as ML would always find a way to force MC to return to him. The ending seems a bit tragic to me as the MC isn't able to escape the ML and the actual good characters don't really have a HE either.

Also, the ML is basically the villain of this story.

The ML and MC didn't have romantic feelings towards each other but it was more like dependence and companionship relationship, mainly from the MLs side. The MC transmigrated into the novel he wrote and has to follow the systems instructions to play the role of the villain if he wants to go back hone. However, he feels bad for abusing the ML and goes undercover as a masked man and helps the ML. The ML falls for the masked man and finds out that the MC who keeps pushing him towards death is the same masked man.

The entire relationship between the two of them is basically the ML running after the MC and finally catching him and imprisoning him. He imprisons him until they both end up dying in the novel the MC wrote. Then the MC goes back to his original life in the real world and gets a job at a company. The company belongs to the MLs father. The ML retains his memories from the novel and recognizes the MC. He starts pursuing the MC again and they start living together like roommates. After some time passes, the MLs passionate love kinda dries up and is now more of a companionate relationship where he wants to stay with the MC forever even if the MC loves him or not. Anyways, the MC grows used to having the ML around him and taking care of him for two years and when suddenly the ML disappears, he feels like he can't function. He calls the ML to come back home. The ML confessed his love but the MC doesn't give a straight answer about whether or not he lives him back cuz the ML did a lot of stuff like imprisoning him and raping him in the novel but is rlly sweet to him in the real world. In the end they end up making out without the MCs answer. The ML and MC adopt a kid. Initially the MC didn't want the kid but he ends up loving him.

what the f the male lead make the “ill make you used to me and then leave you so you can't live without me” and the hell the MC is a nut, how can he not live without him doesnt he remember that he is a novel writer that lives by himself alone for years.

imagine this you've been tortured and locked up and live like a human ona hole how can the MC still love him, there's only either he's a fool or he like how the MC abuse at the same time care for him
