With an intent of retaliation, Kwon Taejung who happened to cause an embarrassing accident, was suddenly relieved of all his duties and was fired from the company. Surrendering to the cruelty of his father, he was banished to the troublesome and ruined Daramdong slum, which was soon to be demolished by the company.

The Daramdong slum was famous for being broadcasted in a program as, “The Nightmare of Slums”. However, the once persistent screeches of the public against the demolition had died down, only recently the demolishing plans were started again.

Only 3 months were left until the demolition and Kwon Taejung could only return the company after the said 3 months, if he could complete a “Safe Demolition” of the slum without any further accidents. But of that “Safe Demolition” there was only one protester and that was the youngest resident of the slum, Yigyeom.

“I am the recent resident of the red container.”

“…Container?”

“Yes, a red one. It’s a total landmark of the slum.”

The broadcasting team of the program, “The nightmare of slums” requested an interview from Yigyeom for a follow-up report. So that there were no arising issues regarding the demolition of Daramdong, Kwon Taejung thought to approach Yigyeom to stop the broadcast.

Yigyeom who had been suffering under the demolition management of the slum for long, misunderstood Kwon Taejung as the new thug like service chief and Kwon Taejung didn’t correct his misunderstanding. After all, the Daramdong was planned to be demolished in 3 months anyway and there would be no chances to meet Yigyeom after that, so it was better to let him consider him as a thug until then, Kwon Taejung thought.

But Kwon Taejung could smell the somewhat sweetish peach smell Yigyeom emitted but it was unusual for a beta, which Kwon Taejung assumed Yigyeom was. But once he was aware of the fact, Yigyeom was an omega, his interest towards him slowly piqued. Forgetting that his initial plan was to obstruct the broadcast, he was steadily being absorbed in the strange feeling he felt towards Yigyeom. Yigyeom was well-behaved and diligent and often felt feverish in response to Kwon Taejung’s pheromones, and for those reasons, Kwon Taejung couldn’t help but follow Yigyeom with his eyes.

“…I don’t like thugs, you know.”

“Well, I don’t like kids either.”

Even though Yigyeom seemed meek, he was strongly confident and intuitive and wasn’t to be pushed around. There would be times when Kwon Taejung would distract him off his tracks, as childish as it was, but whenever there would be times where Yigyeom would wither, Kwon Taejung would stay by his side and his once closed heart would start to open. As the strange feelings grew towards each other, they became close without knowing they had different objectives.

It's literally story of how love from first sight bloomed beautifully. Their relationship is adorable and affectionate. MC is purehearted and ML is showering him with affection.

There is nothing bad, or inadequate about their reltionship development so far, no forceful stuff or angst. Also ML attitute towards MC is somewhat influenced how his paretns brought him up, even though their family is very rich. No toxicity actually is enjoyable to read.

Spoiler

Smut is super hot too.

As slow moving and sickly sweet as syrup.

The premise is nothing revolutionary- destitute but beautiful omega saddled with a family member's crippling debt meets powerful, dominant alpha who's disgustingly wealthy. However, the fact that the ML doesn't start off as a raging d-bag or emotionless robot already sets it apart from the sea of similar stories. It's a cinnamon roll x puppy love story.

While I've got no issues with age gap stories, the alpha's habit of infantilizing the omega (especially in the latter chapters) did make me vaguely uncomfortable here... more>> and there, so be aware of that going in. (I understand that it's meant to be pampering, but the amount of carrying, dressing, feeding, and bathing the ML does for the MC makes him feel more like a parent than a partner.)

There's almost no real angst, with the central "conflict" of the plot being resolved less than ten chapters after it arises. The rest of the 146 chapters of the main story is just fluff; lots of denying how in love they are quickly giving way to gushing about how in love they are or crying about how in love they are and chapter after chapter of smut. I did feel like the story dragged in places but that may be due in part to the translation which, to put it bluntly, is... not great. The translator either used MTL or is in dire need of an experienced proof reader/editor. Although the story is intelligible for the most part, the need to carefully process and internally edit what I was reading to properly understand it, coupled with my propensity to binge chapters probably contributed to my burnout. Overall I'd give it a 7/10 for story and a 4/10 for translation.

I'd recommend this if you're wanting something mellow and fluffy to pass the time casually, not for binging or if you're looking for something with substance. <<less

Honestly amazing. Really captivating storytelling, very sweet and honest emotions. No long and drawn out drama, fantastic pacing... one of my favorites of all time.

The translation on Chrysanthemum Garden is complete, not all chapters are listed on NU.

The plot itself is very cliche, so if you can get over the 12 year age gap and the fact that they had most of relationship progression in 2-3 months, this is good for light-reading.

While reading this I kept thinking "thank god this is a novel" because realistically, oof. It seemed like MC saved a country in his past life because he was really blessed in this one.

This might be a problem with my immersion, but it was big yikes for me whenever the main couple was so impulsive when... more>> things get physical. It was hard to process their choices when one is supposed to be a competent adult and the other was a supposed responsible young adult. The "losing control because of pheromones" element was used quite a lot in that regard. On the bright side, it gave a lot of smut--if that's what you're looking for.

Since it's uncomplicated and a bit wordy, I did find myself skimming sometimes. But for better or worse, it's your standard ABO. And happy endings are always welcome. <<less

Romantic with minimal to no angst. ML is mature but very straightforward. MC is a little socially awkward but that's how he is, and it's not to the point of him being annoying.

Story - 6/10

In terms of the story, there wasn't a lot of issues in their relationship or in the background or the characters around the two leads.

The issue is with the two leads themselves. I don't have any problem with the age gap, but only if the story was set when MC is at least 5 years older I would have been more comfortable. The story keeps insisting that their relationship is fine, it will work, despite this gap, even though it keeps demonstrating with every chapter that it is not fine at all. The poor MC-rich ML element of the story would have been convincing to me, too, if not for the age gap. Despite all that, I really enjoyed the early parts of the story.

Taejung showering Yigyeom with gifts and and money and even paying off his debt while they kiss and have s*x on the side just screams "sugar baby" to me but whatever makes them happy.

Characters - 5/10

Spoiler

Maybe I'm just used to drama or maybe I just love drama too much, but ML's family being incredibly nice and welcoming is refreshing on the one hand, and too idealistic and one-dimensional on the other. I'm so used to conflict and meddling family members that this "everyone is nice" setting makes me more uncomfortable lol.

If you're into smut, you've come to the right novel! lol. There's a lot, and it can be unnecessarily repetitive at times.

Spoiler

There's also a baby, although he doesn't have much personality.

[collapse]

If you think the main story is diabetes-inducing already, the side story is even more sickeningly sweet. It is also kind of unnecessary because it adds nothing to the plot. But if you like smut...

Overall rating = 3/5 or 5.5/10 <<less
