MC was 18 years old when his parents passed away in an accident. After their death, he was highly dependent on his tutor (ML) who was 3 years older than him and the one he had confessed to. ML decided to draw the line between them and MC took it as abandonment. MC started hanging out with delinquents and with their 'big brother' help, he managed to pass the bar exam to be a lawyer. It was far from being a judge as his dream but, it was close enough to the ML. Yes, the ML was now a judge and they both worked at the same courthouse. MC took it upon himself to be some sort of a stalker. He was there when ML preceded a case and he even knew where ML lived. When MC found out that his parent's death wasn't just a simple accident, he decided to pursue the matter. That was when he 'collided' with ML. It turned out that ML was investigating the case from way before. And the reason he was cold was because he did not want MC to be in danger. Their relationship blossomed and even though ML was as cold as ever, MC knew he cared. Cold on the outside, hot on the inside. I did not mind MC acting spoiled at the age of 27 because when you're in love and psychologically the sub in the relationship, you want to be dependent on your partner. But, power bottom all the way. MC like to test ML's bottom line. He was 'abandoned' once. That meant it was likely to happen again. So, I see his annoying behavior as testing ML. Fortunately, ML learned from the past. He knew forcing MC wouldn't result in anything. Their relationship is heartwarming in my opinion. MC is annoying and stubborn while ML is cold and distant.

i felt some things werent fleshed out when it shouldve been. the serial killer case concluded very abruptly. there was a longwinded villain reveal speech with his motives and sob story and bam the story moved on like??? I felt like the author was in a rush to conclude the story because we get a short explanation for what happened to the rich tycoon, reporter lady, and jin zhou's mu*derer buddy, before he quits his job to go and find yang shiyu.

also yang shiyu's fake death like........... author please. I almost scared myself into thinking I read a tragedy but the fake death trope is so cheesy lmfao
