They even switched once, bless their souls!

The cutest top Alpha I've ever seen, mark my words. He's tall and powerful and handsome but he also loves eating sweets and candy, loves soft plushies, has a biting tongue but a soft heart, and always tries to help when he sees something wrong. It was delightful seeing as his personality and history was slowly revealed from the flamboyant and reckless boy that was shown in the first few chapters. He's someone who can be a top student without paying attention in class and can fight and dominate people easily with his top pheromones but who knows that he's literally been fighting for his life against his own parents since he was a child? Our MC actually had a twin brother who his mother favored greatly, and when the brother drowned due to his own carelessness the mother went batsh*t crazy. Violence, emotional ab*se, etc. You name it. His father was also a coward and couldn't fight back against his mother, instead venting his anger on the MC. Our MC's life has been a living hell, and it's hard to tell how he's even survived, let alone helped protect his younger brother. Fortunately, the appearance of the ML helped illuminate a way for him to achieve freedom, and he successfully manages to distance himself from this trauma.

Another suffering child. Also a victim of twins where the parents favor the other twin greatly. It's probably fate for the MC and ML to meet. ML's parents are extremely strict academics and require both of them to follow a certain regimen like a robot. Punishments for not following include physical ab*se (not as bad as MC but), emotional ab*se, psychological ab*se, starvation, etc. To deal with this, the ML basically shut down and carried around a fake persona of a good kid so much that he almost got schizophrenia, and the repressed emotion exploded. Ignoring whether it's actually scientifically possible for that kind of psychological damage to produce two different pheromones, the twin is also a combined virg*n Mary, green tea, and white lotus all in one amazing package. Somehow the ML escaped to the MC's school, and the appearance of the MC as someone who lives life freely and on the edge made him obsessed.

This is a pretty minor complaint but:

This was probably the one part I was unsatisfied with. Yu Chengyuan was only 6 years old, and was treated as a substitute for the MCs dead twin brother. Yes he was spoiled and it cause him to be rude to both the MC and Yu Chengdi, but he was still 6. His mother was very mentally ill, and he was obviously scared when she had episodes. They described him as 'ruined' bc of the spoiling from his mother, but once again, he was only 6. He could have grown from that.

When MCs parenst got divorced and YCY was taken by his mother, they mention that despite the mother taking most of the saving, she was mentally and physically unwell, wouldnt be able to get a job, and with a kid, who knows when those saving will run out.

Ik its just a fictional story, but I hope YCY was able to grow up well, and free himself from his substitute role. He was also being ab*sed, even if it wasn't as 'obvious' as the MC and YCD's ab*se.

The MC is used to putting a fierce front, he is a "bully", he is strong, he is mean to others, but he is really kind and softhearted underneath. He will not hesitate to protect the ML, he will protect his brother, he will always choose sacrifice if there is someone innocent in need. His mom is f*cked up, she blames her for the death of his brother and hurts him and his younger brother for it, but he pushes forward. Admirable person and definitely a top A. The ML is forced to pretend to be someone who he isn't even developing two pheromone scents due to hiding his true self constantly. His parents put endless expectations on him, making him act as a good guy all the time.

This is where they compliment each other, for MC can learn to ask for help and let his guard down; he can cry and be vulnerable, and the ML inspires him to finally walk away from his toxic home with his younger brother (who they both end up raising, ADORABLE IN BOLD FONT). The MC in exchange teaches the ML that he doesn't have to hide his true nature, he can be mischievous and fight, and STILL be loved. They bring out the best of each other and since the beginning they match so well that they can confide in the other

The way they decided the seme/uke positions was super funny too, the most hilarious aspect was that the one who cared the least abt top and bottom ended up being the seme. There are also hints (and one cannon switch) that they are a verse couple too. There is a preference? Sure, but they are still as seke couple :D

Man, was I surprised the little brother is actually the top, especially after seeing him grow up in the story as a silly crybaby. It really would've been cool if I could see the little brother's Omega (top) x Beta (bottom).

I actually feel complicated about the mother bringing Yu Chengyuan with her and we didn't get to see about what happened after to the kid in a 3rd POV. In fact, I actually support Yu Chengsong only bringing his little brother into his custody and cutting off all relationship them.

Both have quite a lot of family trauma and I like the way they grew out of that family.

The MC is so sweet and the way ML saw through him and vice versa.

I rlly like that they developed the feelings and the relationship instead of it just being fate and love at first sight. The process was also pretty natural with no annoying twists turns.
