ML has a blood related daughter. Who is ADORABLE. And realistic. Many times, children in novels are portrayed as overly smart for their age or just high EQ. But Xiao Man here actually acts her age. Of course in line with novel children she's more adorable than bratty but she actually cries and throws the occasional fit as well (and wants to be spoiled). But most importantly, she adores MC.

does ML ever find out that MC had the love at first sight moment way back in uni?

Though I have pet peeve for timid and shy MCs who get all flustered and blush every time, it is interesting to read how they suffer from their unrequited crush and feel dejected, hopeful, at that same time. My nerves were taut the entire time I read the chapters, I guess I am both masochist and sadist, torturing myself to read about shy and socially awkward elf depreciating MC who still retains child like innocence and timidness uuuhhh! (I highly doubt how he managed to survive in the society all these 27 years)

But I guess I never came across the part if ML discovered he has been in love for 7 years. It was disappointing 😞 And after that weird and sudden confession and how they decided to try out together, things were quite rushed.
