Wow didn't expect this gem. Sending blades to author for making this reader cry QAQ.

The story revolved around MC and ML's

relationship and the death of mc's sis. Despite the cookie cutter persona, the character grows wonderfully and the plot is so beautiful. Dog food and dog blood scattered wonderfully. It's like a beautifully written kdrama lol.

Spoiler

• marital raep and sexual harassment jokes. Yeah they're married and they're verbally hurting (but in a joking way) each other. And it's not heavily mentioned but some people might be sensitive about it.
• Mentions of raep (not MC, you could say ML r*ped MC but I feel it's more like dubcon with ML and before y'all throwing pitchforks to ML, no it's not his fault either). ML was drugged accidentally I assumed, and MC was also drugged.
  I think MC was to be raeped by someone else and become a s*ave/plaything but somehow ML got dragged (MTL so I wasn't clear how exactly they both ended up together but I guessed they're at a party, argued heavily, kissed and done the deed under the drug influence)
• Mentions of BDSM, s*avery, unspoken rules, prostitution, drug abuse, and suicide

The personality of ML is a cookie cutter. He's handsome, tall arrogant, dominant, and a good cook. Thankfully he's not an insufferable a**hole. He generally left MC alone but always there when MC needs him. He's like an insufferable white knight (bcz MC "hated" him lol). He's actually a sweet gentleman.

MC is a good actor, handsome, have good figure. He's stubborn, and pushed people who love him because he's hellbent on avenging his dead sister. He's cute and sometimes can be seen as reckless. He's like a cute little porcupine. His backstory is so freakin sad : (

The villains are a bit 2D but the BOSS villains have amazing depth to them. The plot was kinda easy to guess but extremely enjoyable. Recommend. <<less

This one is really interesting. A satisfying novel to read! I thought it was all fluff love between MC and ML, but the story revolves around the tragic death of MC's sister, making the story heavy. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR READERS WHO DISLIKE PSYCHOLOGICAL, r*pe, Prostitution, TRAGEDY AND SM (life of side chara). This is Happy ending anyway. Don't worry since there are a lot of sweet moments between MC and ML. Characters with tragic life (their childhood/teens are really tragic), and spoiler of their endings [Happy Ending (HE) or Bad Ending (BE) ]..

The MC's sister was gang r*ped, and drugged by the people with power.

The MC he is slightly smart. He has lapses in which he sometimes couldn't perceive much the consequences of his actions/plans. Although the ML is a notable company president, he is not the usual overbearing one. Instead, he pursues and pampers the MC.

I dislike the lack of revenge process though, some of the antagonists didn't suffer much. IF I WERE THE AUTHOR I WOULD SKIN THEM ALIVE. No twist on the main culprit, only on those side villains.

The "comedy" category and the summary are SO MISLEADING!! I'd scratch the comedy the f out, since I haven't seen comedy yet. ALthough I'm in the middle of the story, but my impression is very favorable. If it continues like that, then it'll really stay a great thriller BL book.

This story falls more into category of thriller and drama, very mature work because of the TW themes, such as gang r*pe, suicide, murder, psychological burdens etc.

The storyline actually has similar parts to a manhwa titled "The beast must die", the... more>> first part of which explains a story of a younger brother who wants to enter the inner circle of a closed club, which was responsible for his older sister gang r*pe which later led her to suicide. But that's the only similarity, the rest is very different, because of ML.

Although ML comes to appreciate MC, although they started from the wrong foot, but unlike many stories of very powerful people, ML's situation here is more down to earth. He's indeed preson with status and wealth, but not that type of mythical power to move everyone at the snap of their fingers. Here it's more of a psychological warfare between someone with righteous heart and desperate desire to avenge and a circle of people who are too drunk on their own status.

Thus this story is pretty different on the background of many others I've read so far. And I definitely recommend people to try if they're attrackted to this type of story.

PS: I might go back and edit this "review" when I finish reading, but so far can't help but express my opinion on this rare gem. <<less

This is one of the bl which has dark theme but not that dark, its just your not usual fluffy bl. You'll sympathize with both our MC and ML with the sufferings they went thru esp mc's family.

Nevertheless the ML never stopped showing how much he loves mc

Personally, and probably the only one that found it boring. Was intrigued with the avenging sister's death plot but the whole tug of war between the MC and ML was just not my cup of tea... Sometimes I feel like their characters are all over the place and it's probably just me. I think i'd like it more if there was more communication to remove some of these pointless misunderstandings, or if MC stops trying to one-up the ML by constantly using his fears to his advantage. I'm being petty... more>> but I just can't really like the MC. Maybe I'll try again when I refresh what I've read in the future. <<less

This is really a good story with a very deep tragidic plot. But the relationship between MC and ML is best. I liked it.

But still sad no matter what, about mc's sister.

didnt expect to get so horribly attached to both the leads and invested in mc's backstory. I love MC and ml's slow burn and their interactions. Author is putting these two frogs in simmering water. My thoughts are a bit scattered since I stayed up all night reading this, but its definitely a hidden gem. Worth seeing the sun rise and realizing its 9am.

It's pretty good. Enemy-love, misunderstanding, unspeakable words. Ahhh!

Si far so good.

Usually if the summary is not attractive or too déjà-vu, it's à good book. There's more depth to this story that what you expect.

Go read it.

It was just so-so at first, didn’t have much expectations and felt this will be one of those entertainment dramas but not!

I was very surprised by the plot twist and everything!

I love the story, never had I thought I'd feel attached to the MC like this. Umm story is great MC is so cute and stubborn and ML is so gentle and kind.

Their interactions are super sweet and funny, I was kind of waiting for drama between them but the route they took is nice as well. Misunderstandings exist but it's usually resolved quickly.

The plot itself is riveting but there's explicit mentions of r*pe, suicide generally, if these aren't topics you can handle then ahh be careful.

My biggest problem with... more>> this story

Spoiler

idk how to say it but the permanency of the character? Like if it wasn't mentioned I'd have forgotten some parts about the characters? Like it's a touch-and-go for certain things such as their love rivalry. What I mean is repeatedly the author has to remind us instead of us being reminded by the characters itself.

But I'm fond of the MC and ML so its fine mostly. <<less

I really love this! I'm not a fan of misunderstandings and slow progressing drama but this was great. The mystery and the relationship between MC and ML really kept me interested the whole way through.

I loved the way they interact with each other and wasn't bothered by the their love-rival status at all (it's basically non-existent even). The depth of the storyline and the way the whole thing unfolds was great!

Definitely an amazing read, even if you're not fond of love-rival statuses, kind of slow romance and misunderstandings (it's not... more>> annoying misunderstandings, the ML can tell that the MC is hiding something very early on and he's super supportive!!!) <<less
