Daily Life of the Canary Pet Master

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Ou Renjin likes keeping beautiful young men because he likes watching the drama.

Watching them be arrogant and conceited; watching them be obsequious and sycophantic; watching them have ulterior motives and fight with each other, seeing all the evil side of human nature.

Until, he picks up a poor little guy.

The poor little guy is ignorant and helpless, treating Ou Renjin as his whole world, spending all his salary to buy him gifts, standing in front of him in times of danger without hesitation, even…

…saying to him in the calmest and lightest of tones after knowing that their heart matching is successful, “I am very grateful that you have been hiding it from me, but I have long been ready to give my heart to you.”

* * *

036 was born as a test subject, without parents or friends.

As the only successful “petri dish of renewable organs”, he had every organ in his body cut out and transplanted to the rich and powerful countless times.

After getting used to the pain, he met the most special person in the world.

This person was so good that he wanted to cut out his own heart immediately.

The story's plot is okay (non-sensical but at least not boring) and the MC has good moments, but I couldn't get invested in the main relationship because ML was quite a piece of work (in a bad way).

Not only did the relationship feel like ML was always keeping MC at arm's length, but also near the end when they began to get "closer" and MC made the ultimate sacrifice for him, ML's response was really cold and I couldn't imagine being so cruel and distant to the person you love... more>> during such a vulnerable time. I'd be worried to death and be unable to leave my lover's side until I could confirm they were fine. Instead, ML was focused on being spiteful and punishing MC for what he did for him.

All in all, I wasn't a fan of the chemistry between the two leads. ML came across as cruel and insensitive too often. <<less

YunYun the translator is here. This seems to be my favourite type of a story lately - both sweet and heartbreaking. This novel made me feel those two things - sweetness and heartbreak - so many times.

The MC, who doesn't even have the name in the beginning of the story, just a number, 036, is what the summary says: he has a special regenerative ability, so not only his wounds heal very fast, but his organs removed from his body will regrow. Yes, even his heart. He is kept in... more>> some laboratory and used as a source of organs for transplants for very rich people. He is not treated like a human being, not even like an animal, he is treated like a thing, a piece of meat that can be cut again and again.

In some mysterious way he appears on the mountain road in the rain, and is hit by the ML's car.

The ML - what a coincidence - has a serious heart disease and is looking hard for a heart that can be transplanted to him. But... have you ever heard about people regrowing hearts? Taking someone's heart means that that person will surely be dead, and the ML is not a mu*derer.

036 thinks the ML, Ou Renjin, is a kind client who decided to make his life a little nicer before the surgery. And the ML... well, he has a special hobby. He collects young men. He has money and owns an entertainment company, and the whole world thinks he exchanges money and resources for s*x with young ambitious men who want to move forward in the entertainment circle.

The young man who got under his car is good-looking, seems to have nowhere to go, and the vacancy of the ML's "canary" is free at the moment, so the ML decides to "keep" the MC for a while.

So, for the first time in his life the MC is treated as a human being.

It's not that the ML is particularly good to him; but when someone has never had anything, and then is given something... even the tiniest thing means the whole world.

I was on the verge of crying so many times during the first chapters, when little details reveal what 036's life in the laboratory used to be. And yet 036 (he soon gets a name) has such a sweet personality that sometimes I caught myself smiling the next moment. His open-mindedness, his ability to cherish the smallest things, his generosity are amazing.

The ML is... not-so-amazing. I actually can imagine how some people are going to condemn him. For some reason it seems people are more accepting about r*pists and mu*derers than about someone who is just human and less than perfect.

One thing I need to warn about: the ML is a kind of non-s*xual vouyer. Actually, there is no such thing, the word "voyeur" means there is a s*xual component, so for the ML the word that Google suggests is "observer" :) Anyway, that's it: he likes to observe people. Yes, without their permission. If it bothers you, don't read.

The ML's personality is also pretty quirky. There is an obligatory childhood trauma but I feel he would be just as quirky without it. He isn't perfect, it's a fact. But I liked him very much. His imperfections didn't seem unforgivable to me, and in a way, he was exactly what the MC needed.

Well, there is also a showbiz subplot, with all the usual stuff, variety shows, evil competitors, netizens with their endless comments, so if you like entertainment circle stories, it will also work for you.

I don't want to spoil more. There are some mysteries. There are some things you expect from the beginning but they happen in an unexpected way. But it was the way the MC and the ML interacted really carried me through the whole story. <<less

Went to mtl after reading the first few chapter and I finally finished it. Have to say I absolutely enjoyed the novel and romance between the MC and ML. I won't go too in-depth. I was on my toes though wondering if they'd fulfill the premise of the synopsis

I adore MC's journey into growing more "human". In the usual sci-fi, the trope of the experimental subject who lacks emotions and experiences is usually the cold one in the relationship. Well this could be said of many other cold shou MCs... more>> really, but why I liked MC a lot is that he absolutely shows his affection and adoration. He really does loves the ML deeply.

Wanted to put some words in for the ML as he's a pretty multifaceted character. He's basically a gold master that keeps a contracted canary boyfriend to observe and to play out love. He loves to be loved and loves back in return but it's not truly love but business between two parties after all. In comes the MC who absolutely adores the ML, because he's the kindest person he's ever met. However ML doesn't feel he's kind at all. Still, ML's the one trying to teach MC to value himself more and to cherish life, he's the one hurting himself to show MC how he feels when MC is hurt, and he's the one trying to prepare the MC for a life without him. Now ML is really only cold at first, but after he speculates about and learns a little more about MC's pitiful past, he grows warmer. ML is the one who pushes MC to expand his horizons and depths of his emotions.

I wanted to slightly correct an event the other review stated:
Spoiler

ML told the MC FIRST in a call along the lines of no matter what, he loves him. This was because ML just saw a starlet acting shady by him while he was at the airport.

Then MC was told by a teammate to look online, seeing ML's weibo posts outright clarifying his and MC's relationship is still going strong, and that he doesn't tolerate people who try to involve themselves with others who are already in relationships.

MC wasn't really hurt by the pics in the story; he just thought that had ML not communicated to him, he might've been hurt, but he wasn't really because he knew for sure ML still loved him after what MC did to ML. MC actually tried to look for some of the gossip media posts but they were already taken down by ML's PR by the time he even knew about this small scandal.

This is one of my most favorite novels! I've reread it several times, the last was a year ago, but I still think about this novel sometimes.

It is a rather interesting take on "master and his canary" trope. Or, more like, "master and his canary" meets sci-fi.

At first ML seems like a typical cold CEO, but he has a reason to be that way: he has an uncurable heart disease and his years are numbered. Despite it he has morals. When MC offered him his heart, ML was very vocally... more>> against it.

Spoiler

So much so, that MC had to go behind his back to have that heart transplantation. Once ML learned the truth, he was was so angry, he broke contact with MC and the person who helped him. Despite them (ML and that person) being close friends, once ML learned that he was prepared to mu*der MC to save ML's life, he immediately kicked him out.

[collapse]

MC was a test subject all his life, so when he learned that ML was in need of heart transplant he thought that he was a new "client" (MC didn't realised that he transmigrated). So he waited for ML to "extract" his heart... and waited... and waited. All while ML gave him full freadom to do whatever. So with time his sence of obligation turned into affection so he was very insistent in giving away his heart. (Given that for him is is a more or less a routine procedure, that was less of a sacrifice than what ML thougth).

This brings us to the third act disagreement. And I was honestly surprised at how maturely it was resolved.

Spoiler

For starters, when MC and ML were not together, someone took a picture of some starlet sticking to ML. When MC saw it, he was upset, but the next moment ML called him and was like "I'm still pissed with you, but I don't want to hurt you, so I'm calling to say that there is nothing between me and that starlet".

Then, once they talked to each other, both of them explained how they felt and BOTH of them apologised for the lack of communication that led to the current situation.

[collapse]

I am probably underselling this novel with my review, but I just don't know how to tell that it is a solid novel with interesting and unusual (while not complex) plot and interesting characters. It even has some dog blood drama, from some side characters.

If asked for negative sides of this novel, I'd have nothing to say. For me, this novel is if not perfect, than is pretty good. Maybe ML is too much of a drama queen for my tastes? But 'tis his characterisation, lol.

In conclusion: highly recommended. This is a very interesting and fun take on old tropes. <<less

That 5/5 isn't just to weight the rating or because it's really good compared to other stories on this site; I love this story. One of the few that I've gone back to read multiple times. A story of healing with a well-written relationship that avoids many of the issues usually seen in the genre.

ML is a rich CEO but is NOT the cold, stoic, possessive type. He even expresses happiness that the MC is making friends and having new experiences! He's not a flat character and even has character... more>> development! MC is the kindhearted, naïve character type that's actually implemented well. He lacks knowledge because of his previous experiences, but he's not s*upid and learns quickly. By the end of the story he is just as savvy as the ML while still being kind. The affection the MC and ML hold for each other comes naturally, and while it takes a bit for them to clearly communicate it to each other they never lie to themselves about it or go through a s*upid denial phase.

An explanation of the "transported to another world tag" - it's not clear if this is actually a different world or time travel, but either way the brilliant twist on this trope is that the MC doesn't actually realize he's been transmigrated. He assumes any inconsistencies are because life outside the lab he was stuck in is just different, so he doesn't say anything and just goes with the flow. ML catches on that MC was probably a victim of human trafficking (which is probably true, how MC ended up as an experiment is never explained), but the MC's naivety and "hiding" his origins actually has a legitimate excuse.

MC becomes famous because he's the ML's lover, so there's none of the conflicts the come with hidden relationships. His fans know going in that he's taken, so there's no fan drama because of him dating either. ML taking revenge on a person who treated MC wrong doesn't go to far - no overblown or excessive retaliation like ruining an entire family because of the actions of one person. No s*upid jealousy plots. Misunderstandings are believable and not forced. While a certain conflict may cause some heartbreaking drama at first, MC and ML are able to sit down and communicate and clear things up. The reasoning for this conflict isn't because of forced misunderstandings and assumptions for the sake of drama but because of MC's life-view being so different from everyone else due to his background. Both MC and ML learn and grow from the experience and stop repeating their mistakes.

While this story has entertainment circle/showbiz elements, it isn't the main driving force of the story. Characters are prioritized over the showbiz setting. The main focuses are the MC learning how to live as a "human", his relationship with the ML, and how they grow together. Recommended if you are tired of the flat overbearing CEO types, want an atypical different kind of transmigration story that is well done, or want a story full of warmth. <<less

characters:

mc: ou shaowen

ml: ou renjin

... more>> summary:

MC gets airdropped in front of ml's car. ML saves him and takes him home to be his little kept man, but contrary to his expectations, MC is incredible pure and naive of the world. MC has no id, no household registration, and seemed to have grown up isolated and abused. We learn that MC grew up in a lab, with limited contact with the outside world, and his organs repeatedly harvested for profit because he has a unique ability to regrow any body parts once its removed. MC misunderstands ml's intentions and thinks ML wants to use him for that purpose, and so he offers his own heart once he learns that ML has a heart condition and will need a transplant soon. ML is not aware of mc's ability and wants to see whether its all an act. He showers MC with money, gifts, and turns him into an idol with countless fans - the things all his past lovers vied for - to see if he cracks. But mc's devotion never wavers, and ML finds himself falling in love.

Spoiler

ml's condition gets worse but he refuses mc's heart donation even after MC reveals his abilities. MC draws up a plan to get ML to accept an anonymous organ donation and the heart transplant is a success. But ML is furious once he realizes MC was the donor. After MC wakes up from his two month recovery, they finally talk out their differences and reconcile.

[collapse]

thoughts:

do yourself a favor and DO NOT read the authors note in chapter 32. It contains major spoilers and I dont know why the author or the tler included that in.
Spoiler

the scene where ou renjin took out a knife and threatened to harm (kill?) himself on video was f*cking crazy. I had goosebumps and literally got heart palpitations thinking he was really gonna dig his heart out. The morbid part of me kinda wanted him to go through with it bc the angst potential was insane.

the little heart to heart (heh) talk at the end was sweet and sums up the character's motivations nicely. Shaowen thought of renjin as a client, then as his savior, and finally as his lover. And in all three cases he was willing to sacrifice his heart but for slightly different reasons.

and renjin refusing him because he cannot stomach seeing another person sacrificing their life for him. By then, his reasons for refusal had also changed subtly, from thinking that shaowen is dumb and naive, to suspecting that he is lying in order to gain favor, and finally to the fear of losing his lover.

I liked the story. For someone who experienced so much pain as an experiment subject, I'm quite thankful that the MC did not end up a psychopath. Although he did treasur himself much, I can truly understand why. Overall, it was a good read.

Beautiful! This novel and the translation deserves the biggest round of applause. I was up last night reading this and actually shed a tear WTF.

This story tells a tale about a mysterious boy, Ou Shaowen, who was used as an infinite organ donor by immoral scientists. Later, by some miracle, he gets into a car accident with rich businessman Ou Renjin, who takes care of him. The two experience a great misunderstanding, with Shaowen believing Renjin to be a rich big shot in need of an organ, and Renjin believing... more>> Shaowen to be a naive guy looking to get money by faking love and circumstances.

Their characters are very much typical: naive, slightly s*upid shou x domineering, cold CEO, but this story differs in the fact that they both change throughout the story. Like most lovers, they begin to take on characteristics of the other, but in the end, are still able to become independent characters that learn to love themselves.

My only (small) qualms about the novel are that...
Spoiler

We aren't given enough meat about the revenge plot against Renjin's aunt and uncle. The grandpa is literally never mentioned again but I was interested to see how he would react if he finally found out the truth. I also wished that they would include some sort of connection to Shaowen's previous world that explained how he transmigrated. However, I did like the small snippet where Renjin talks to Shaowen's past self. I wish Renjin would have mentioned it tho.

[collapse]

To summarize for new readers, if you are looking for a story with a tragic plot and revenge, a happy ending, character growth, and true love that's almost suicidal and goes beyond love at first sight, please read this. You won't regret it. <<less

After reading this story all I can really say is that it is haunting and beautiful and hilarious, just the best combination of plot twists and written so smoothly I read it all in a single sitting!

I absolutely loved so many moments in the story, and the characters played off each other in increasingly hilarious ways. They really are on the same wavelength despite having such different world perspectives.

Spoiler

Like when ML was exposed for being basically a stalker with those video cams and MC was just starry eyed like "wow he likes to watch me I love him so much" lmfao

Or when MC beat up ML's tr*sh uncle while ML was away and when he admitted it ML was all "I love this man, no one else has stood up for me like this before" like I really cannot with these two

[collapse]

They both filled each others lives with so much joy and meaning, and the romance in this was so f*cking wholesome, 10/10. It's a very simple storyline overall but the characters really touched me with their backstories and motivations. <<less

I was addicted to this novel and could not stop reading it. There were a lot of bittersweet moments but the ending satisfied me. A constant question throughout this novel: What is love? And what relation does sacrifice have with love?

The ML is patient in leading the MC to develop his own understanding of love. He even assigns him 'homework' by getting him to ask the perspective of others around him. I liked that the ML did not try to force his own interpretation of love upon the MC and... more>> gave him the chance to find his own answers.

Even though MC is written as innocent and some what naive, he is very stubborn about his own logic and it was very interesting to see how his character changed over time. From small things like his daily habits and language, to being able to express his emotions, becoming more willful and somewhat greedy.. It was like watching a cold synthetic android bloom with life and truly becoming human at the end.

I recommend this novel to all romance lovers! The abuse is just nice for our tender hearts and crying only makes the story taste even better :p <<less

There is absolutely nothing to quibble about, the MC is an adult and is fully aware of his self-destructive behaviour and his feelings toward ML.

It's so much better than expected!

ML is SOOOO Much better than many crazy CEO/President novel I have ever read. Except his unique hobby, everything about him was Decent (toward others) and Absolutely Good (for MC).

Even his unique hobby was somewhat decent too compared to many Crazy/Dark CEO/President in other novel could do.

ML just like to 'Observe' and Play some role to amuse his life. He was kinda Scummy, but also not too bad. As long as no one provoke him, he won't attack you badly. Honestly... This ML was breath... more>> of fresh air.

ML... From Observe MC, to actually helping MC understand many things. Seriously, he's not bad at all even when he was being Extreme. THANK GOD!

But what about MC?

He's Lovable for sure. He's Naive but NOT a Fool! He lack of Common Sense because his past, but he keep learning about Live and Socialising. He never stop learning, and ML also help him.

While he was mostly blank, you just have to remember he has his own personality and belief. He doesn't like people control/manage his own belief. His personality what make his characteristics Enjoyable and also what made him suitable for ML as well.

This is not your usual novel, but it's not as Heavy as you may expect.

It's Really Good and Definitely WORTH MY TIME!!!! I'M TRULY ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT, OKAY!!! <<less

It's a short story that focuses more on the relationship between the main characters, and I have to say that I really liked the balance of their personalities and the way the author presents their thoughts to us. And most especially the fact that no matter what their conflict is, the ML makes sure that MC is always secure in his feelings for him.❤️❤️❤️

-The MC despite his tragic past has a strong personality. He could appear at the beginning as a naive character, who only obeys the ML's demands, with... more>> no real personality and no will of his own. This is absolutely not the case, as he is destined to have different values from the others because of his special situation and his own past. Something that ML understands and accepts in the end during their discussion.
Spoiler

"Can you stop telling me this? I know what you're trying to say, but... can all of you stop treating me like a child and stop preaching to me all the time? I'm capable of my own judgement too."

"I know, you care about me and feel sorry for me far more than I care about myself, but this heart is for me a consumable that will regrow in two months, and for you it is your long life in the future. I couldn't help but save you. So can you also understand me from my point of view and not get angry again, okay?"

Before coming to this appointment, Ou Renjin really didn't expect to hear him say such things.

He suddenly felt that Ou Shaowen, who he had always thought was ignorant and floating in this world like dust, was not what he thought he was. He had his own set of ideas and logic, but he was used to obeying him and he had never explained to him the reason for doing something calmly and modestly like he was doing now.

[collapse]

-The ML, I am sure, will not be unanimously appreciated and many people will not easily accept his relationship with the MC and will even think that he does not deserve him. In fact, compared to the other MLs that we are used to see in this kind of stories, he is far from being perfect. But that's precisely why he is more interesting. We can easily put ourselves in his shoes and understand the reason behind many of his actions. I say he's not perfect, but honestly as a partner for the MC, I think he is. Personally, compared to an omnipotent character, I like his vividness and appeal.
This part can give us some idea of his actual character.

Spoiler

He was not someone unable to think differently; in fact he had always known very well that the reason he had resisted Ou Shaowen's heart donation so fiercely was, on the one hand, because at that time he simply could not believe Ou Shaowen's words completely, and on the other hand, it was just his selfishness.

He couldn't bear the pain of his loved ones leaving him again, so he very selfishly pushed this pain onto Ou Shaowen. He was forcing him, using a stimulus therapy that he himself found despicable, using pain that would impress him to remember that once something like this happened in the future, he should never make a similar choice again.

He never liked the melodramatic plot of martyrdom and did not believe that anyone in the world would be unable to live without anyone else, but to some extent, he believed that if Ou Shaowen at that time really died, he might be the one indulging in the mood of going with him. This had nothing to do with how much he loved Ou Shaowen; the deeper reason was in himself.

"That process... the process of watching the person I love die for me and constantly convincing myself to live for him really made me tired enough. Intellectually, I know that you all love me very much, and there are very few people in this world who are willing to sacrifice their life for others. You are noble and great, but I am too cowardly and inferior to bear such deep love

He lowered his eyes and admitted his meanness, "It's all my problem. I admit that I used the wrong way. I just hope that if there is such a time again, please cherish yourself and... take mercy on me. Don't let me suffer this kind of pain again."

[collapse]

Certainly a story that is not perfect all the way through, but it turns out to be a very interesting and memorable journey.🥰💕💕💕💕💕

A big thank you must go to the translator who did a phenomenal job.🙇‍♂‍🙇‍♂‍🙇‍♂‍🌹🌹🌹 <<less

Ou Renjin and Ou Shaowen... What a heartwarming love story. At first, because of the amount of exes Ou Renjin had, I assumed he’d be a scumbag.

oh how terrible wrong I was. He loves MC to the point of being unable to truly get angry at MC. He cared more about MC’s life than even MC himself.

Every chapter was dipped into the sweetest cotton candy, with the perfect amount of angst, romance and humour. I loved everything about this novel, I seem to love every book this translator chooses. Rebirth... more>> a different way and this book Canary Pet Master have been placed into my top 10 BL novel list.

I wish our double OU’s a happy and blissful marriage life❤️

ps. I wish the kissing/ romance scenes were written out more but there’s basically no scene that goes into detail about it. Still, the author did an excellent job of conveying their love through dialogue <<less

I've always been annoyed and impatient with naïve protagonists on webnovels, only to realise that it was because they had been written BADLY. When they are richly designed and properly rendered, like this MC, I go "uuuuu my baby" along with everyone else. The ML's jerkward behaviours aren't excused and his inevitable tragic backstory isn't overplayed, either: he's just there, changing and learning from exposure, testing and testing everyone, doing all kinds of ridiculous mental gymnastics to protect himself from the simple reality of loving and being loved in return.... more>> It's all very familiar and relatable.

This is a very solid 5 stars; I wish I could give it more. <<less

This is such a beautiful story. Well written story with bit of Heartbreaking and sadness but also full of sweet, fluff and softness. The story focus more on relationship and Character growth and development.

MC is a sweetie..... with the biggest heart. So f*cking damn adorable and precious. Puppy type, very obedient and can be bit Naive but really so damn Sweet......... He really make people want to protect him. I really enjoyed MC Character growth as becoming more Human.

ML is a f*cking well written, very realistic Character with flaws...... Very... more>> Human...... Very different from all the other ML I have read so far, although not my favorite, he's indeed one of the bestest. I really love the depth given too his Character.

I love the Romance and relationship of the two. Despite such difference in there personality I love how they balance out each other. I also love their sincerity, trust and love for each other. One of the most Decent, Healthy and Heartwarming relationship I have ever seen.

Overall, Worth recommending. Don't avoid just because the description says ML as Scum, He's better than Scum and better than a lot of MLs, plus adorable and pure puppy type MC, accompanying him to become even better. Read it.

Love it! (O´〰`o) ♡*゚✲*。 I know now why this is highly rated and you will know too once you're done reading this!

I like ML's and MC's character so much! ML is unlike the usual omnipotent gong, he made mistakes and has a complex character, he knows his flaws and tries his best to correct them. ML loves to "observe" his "canary/pets" in the special golden cage (villa), as a "hobby".

MC, definitely is one of my favorite character so far, he's such a little sweetie with a big heart!! He's smart... more>> and knows what he truly wants. My heart hurts for him actually because of his past, good thing that he finally met ML and was saved and able to find true love and someone who cares for him. I love their interaction and how much they value and love each other. A match made in heaven indeed!!

Highly recommeded! Also the translation is really good! <<less

Aughh, it's been a long time since I've read such a sweet BL. It's not the kind of tooth-rotting, diabetes-inducing fluff that makes you sick of being fed dog food, but like the sweetness of the first sip of soda on a hot day, it gives a sense of healing & refreshment.

MC and ML are both unique, distinct individuals with their own core beliefs and values. At the beginning, MC does seem like a blank piece of paper slowly getting stained with colors, but ML was never able to fully... more>> control him or change his mind about anything, from loving ML to digging his heart out for him. I felt it was really telling when ML mutters, "maybe you don't even like men." ML was really hyper aware of how little MC had been given before & how potentially he was taking advantage of being MC's first decent human interaction to be loved so much. He couldn't behave totally selflessly but still did his best to give MC a good life, a healthy social circle, & higher self-esteem from the love of millions of fans. He would have let MC go if that's what he truly wanted after being exposed to the outside world, & that makes him a rare good man among CN MLs. He was also self-aware of how scummy he could be in love & never felt worthy of the unconditional love he received or took it for granted. Really, he's my favorite ML in quite a while, a character that has real emotional depths and flaws that aren't just quirky but very humanizing.

His biggest flaw is probably the extensive monitoring of his boyfriends as a way to confirm how selfish & dark human nature can be, but he never takes it too far & doesn't do anything to ruin his exes lives, period. All of them receive ample financial compensation and resources for doing their job, and it was contractual from beginning to end. Not that he wasn't still kind of scummy for paying for love, but it doesn't feel like he was cruel. It's also funny to see him meet his match in the MC, who almost immediately calls him out on his bs of keeping someone around when he doesn't even love them. He ends up sinking deeper and deeper into the diamond-like radiant cuteness, sweetness, and everything goodness of this loving little angel, until finally the prodigal son reformed just so he wouldn't have to break it to his lover that the first stage of their relationship was a lie.

MC is such a heartache inducing baby, he doesn't even believe that he will end with ML until almost the very end - I would argue that he always thought he was disposable and even more so than ML's exes because he couldn't wrap his head around being more than just a walking organ container. He was such a positive & caring person despite being the one who had been hurt the most & still always in the most vulnerable position throughout this story. He was also strong in a way that defied common sense - the strength to choose happiness in the face of unimaginable suffering, and to stick to his principles & truly live in the moment. Regardless of whether ML came to love him or not, he left a lasting impression on me that he would be happy in his new life. It was just that he noticed how the ML was actually a good soul underneath the cynicism & self-loathing stemming from his messed up family relations & survivor's guilt. And so he decided to stick with the man & fall in love with him, maybe carve an organ or two out by the way if he needed it. Seriously, his worldview is so abnormal by everyday standards, but it makes sense for him & really makes him all the more heartbreakingly real.

5/5 Prime BL reading material <<less

This novel has a special place in my heart ❤️

Indeed, at the beginning, the MC was kinda like a blank canvas, but that's not true! He has his own thoughts, his own desires, his own bottom line. It's just that he remains pure hearted even though he experienced bad things that's why he seems "childish" but he can really make his own decisions.

Others may say that the ML "groomed" the MC but I don't think so. It's true that ML saved MC and gave MC a lot of things but... more>> ML let MC get to know the world outside of him. Like he made him make friends, experience more of the world precisely because he wasn't grooming the MC

Also what I like about this novel is that the ML is powerful because he is rich but he isn't too OP.
Spoiler

Like when that Dong person did a bad thing to MC, ML didn't necessarily commit a crime just to revenge. He simply left him in the mountain too just like that Dong person did with MC

[collapse]

What I love most about this novel is when ML and MC had a big fight
Spoiler

MC kept it hidden from ML that he gave ML his heart

[collapse]
they actually talked it out. Like they both told their end of the story, why they thought that way and dang, ML apologized to MC and admitted that he was wrong to be mad!!

Plus, even though he was mad at MC, when some starlet tried to rub off him, he quickly informed MC that he only loved him... that even if he's mad, he still loves MC, he's just mad. I think that was sweet cause in the real world, a lot of couples even purposely make their other half jealous just to get back at them but here? ML prevents MC from being insecure or jealous

But of course there was that instance when
Spoiler

ML had his ex go to their house just so that he can watch how MC would react, but that was when he hasn't really fallen for MC yet plus he really regretted that

[collapse]

One thing tho that I wish there was more of was MC's interaction with other people like that friend whom he ate hotpot with because after he won the contest, it seems that that friend just disappeared from the story

Overall, this is such a good read! I couldn't stop reading!! <<less
