The only problem I have is what I generally have with most yaoi. Why are ppl so insistent on topping in yaoi? Have they ever seen the real scenario? I am saying this as a person who swings both ways but I am generally only comfortable with what my partner likes, I cannot imagine pushing them for this. Also do these ppl know that a lot of gays are generally bottoms? It's soooo hard to find gays that only top or aren't into bottoming. Since Lin Yao knew that he was gay it only made sense that he had tried or thought about bottoming sometime. But no, here he had this straight male ass ideology of suppressing. Also, the way he kept calling him wife, like bro he is a guy too can you both not be husbands?

I just feel that although the author wrote an excellent romance between two males. She just could not figure out how gay ppl are? I actually love reading switch couples, example from golden stage. But here it was just wrong. Like bro had brain tumor surgery and this is what you do? It would have made soooo much more sense if Gaun Ze was the one who had already realised he was gay. Since he seemed a lot more open to gay s*xual things in general instead of Lin Yao who just thought of "suppressing in bed" (most straight ass toxic thing ever)

part where he left MC for operation and after being questioned by the MC’s brother

Now I don’t mind spoiler but I hate when the MC keeps like wanting to top the ML. As if he doesn’t f*ck the ML then he’s not a “man” anymore. Especially when going to face the father. I stopped right there because I just can’t handle it anymore. It’s super sad because it’s almost the end but again, I don’t like the 23-yo childish MC who’s forcing himself to someone who just had tumor operation...

Then everything just went haywire. One minute they're getting steamy, and the next, there's a fight outside where the male love interest whips out a machete and the main character is throwing bricks. Then, later in that same chapter I so think, they have this romantic moment on a hill? Like, what even? It totally undercuts the emotional impact.

They really should have a h*mophobia tag or at least something about the massive closed-mindedness around sexuality. The main character's mom and even his brother aren't there for him at all. I get that not everyone understands being gay, but the family is basically forcing him to pretend to be straight and hopefully soon marry some woman.

And the brother's monologues? What's his deal? Does he actually think that if the male lead were out of the picture, the main character would suddenly be happier? Seriously? They expect him to pretend to be straight when pretty much everyone in the family (except maybe the dad, who's not really important) knows he's gay. It's wild!
