It's fairly obvious from the start that neither of them really hated each other but it was more a miscommunication/poor timing that forced them both apart. The angst was a slow burn in the first half of the novel and their obvious longing to be by each other's side was really bittersweet to read. After they do reconcile and confess their feelings, the sweetness explodes. It's just so unbearably sweet that as a reader, I think the author should really consider the single people who are reading this novel because I was so so envious. I don't know who I was more envious of, Shi Luo who had the sweetest, most doting, most devoted boyfriend who spoils him rotten? Or Yu Sui who has the cutest little tsundere baby who is also incredibly devoted and loves him to the moon and back.

Honestly the second half of the novel was just them rubbing it in our face how much we're missing out by being single but I loved every second of it.

MC is a chuunibyou who sometimes doubts promises bcs of his past. The ML is a slag man who doted on MC every chance he gets. Tbh, I didn't dislike the ML for his actions despite the revelation of the MC's past. Why? On the first chapters, it actually looks like the ML isn't the type of person who will leave the MC just for the sake of money. Maybe in some parts I was hesitant for the ML, but after everything was revealed, I start to understand his actions for leaving the MC back in the domestic region.

He doesn't have the power to even stop his two teammates from being sold once they were in Europe, what's more for the MC who haven't developed his skills that much yet. And the MC understands all that too. Also, when they got together, the ML constantly makes up what he believes is his mistakes to MC. In short, the MC was spoiled by the ML lmao. They're so cute and they both understands and respect each other so much.
