Difficult To Control

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jinxue.

He knew that the pair of shoes on Liao Jinxue’s feet would require his salary of three months. Every diamond on the watch on his wrist was genuine, the elegant cypress fragrance on the body exudes the smell of gold, not the shabby appearance that was there ten years ago.

Xu Qi hated Liao Jinxue.

He saw Liao Jinxue put his arms around his wife’s waist, the woman who has always been reluctant to show a smiling face, looking shy, the ring-wearing left hand caressed and flirted with Liao Jinxue’s chest, and finally leaned on his shoulder meekly.

Thirty-year-old Xu Qi has ordinary looks, a meagre salary job, and a precarious marriage. However, he also blamed all the fault on the young man who seduced his wife – peeping, stalking and cursing Liao Jinxue to wake up, ugly and impotent.

But it backfired and God made a sarcastic joke on him.

After waking up with a hangover, there was a dazzling light, and there, beside him was a man with the fragrance of clear cypress wood. His handsome eyebrows and eyes coincide with every photo taken by him, like an absurd dream.

As he tried to flee hastily, Liao Jinxue pulled him back to his side, his lips were on the back of his neck, Xu Qi’s arms were tightly bound and his voice was cold, like unmelted snow.

“satisfied?”

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jinxue.

He wished that Liao Jinxue would lose this beautiful face, his ability to seduce people, and his lavish spending. He wants Liao Jinxue to be an ugly and disgusting man, who can’t take anything away from him.

Cold, Sven scum gong x inferiority complex straight shou.

MC : Clumsy and timid on the outside, mildly-twisted on the inside.

Spoiler

Because of an abusive childhood.. No. Not only childhood, even at age 30, both his Mother and his Wife continue to belittle and dictate him. Dude seriously cant with women lol

Though he has some twisted (mainly stemming from his inferiority complex & jealousy towards the successful ML) thoughts here and there, he isnt a toxic person or anything. Just gets by earning a meager income as a clerk at a job he hates... goes home & waits for his wife to come home, then cooks for her lol

Honestly, most of MC's problems arise from his abusive environment (family, marriage and work) and it doesnt help that he has untreated PTSD after his brother's death.

*Sigh* Cant really do much about it.

[collapse]

The character growth+his masochistic side come later when he meets the ML (again).

le ML: Your typical cold character with a sadistic streak (not a ball point pen streak but Chip brush streak lol). His childhood was abusive too.

But here's the catch.. he isnt a scum to MC just for the fun of it.

Spoiler

Its his vengence for an event that infact did derail him from his life path all because the MC was hella nosy about his life and inadvertently did something silly

[collapse]

Hence their sado-mascho saga begins ten years later.

The writer has a good understanding of why people do what they do.

The story scenes are smooth flowing and addictive. Haha but Beware! The people who easily suffer from second-hand embarassment!

Some people may get irritated with the lack-luster and weak MC. Especially those who mostly read works on popular&/op protagonists. But hey stories about plain characters deserve a showing too.

Plot : 5/5 (atleast for keeping it real). Kowtow to the author for almost zero clichés orz

Characters : 5/5

The only con : The story and hence the translations are still ongoing! QAQ <<less

Early 5 stars even though I only read till the last free chapter before the VIP (I need to figure out gongzicp website).

The adultery tag actually had me very hesitant to touch this book but here's the spoiler: ... more>>
Spoiler

it's still not an excuse but MC and his wife are clearly in a loveless marriage. They don't even sleep together or talk together or anything. They seem to have differing views on the future with MC very hesitant on having children at all while wife would at some point, want children (I assume, she seems to be prioritizing her career more). MC suspects wife is cheating on him and is stalking the cheating partner, ML, who was his former high school classmate. Cue the many flashbacks of their intersecting past. But as of c19, there's actually no solid proof of wife cheating on MC with ML and ML has a secret hidden agenda for approaching MC. And it seems like revenge.

[collapse]

MC is weak, both emotionally and in terms of his character. His parents are very emotionally abusive and
Spoiler

I kind of hope he will break ties with them later on. Who knows?

[collapse]

ML seems to have a colourful past as well.

The rating is because I enjoy the plot so far, it's interesting to see where these characters will go and how they even end up together (I'm still holding my breath on that adultery tag and hoping it will be like a bandaid and be ripped off quickly). There's just something alluring about reading such flawed characters coming together.

P/s: And also this is an ongoing work? Gasp! <<less
