Ok ya'll calm down
First of all nobody is getting "extra point" for not being abusive!the fuck that's necessary bruh
Second, he sure ain't the good guy type and he was kinda bossy and pushy especially at first
he cared about his partner and their relationship
And he had some toxic habits but we shoud consider the time line they were in and their huge gap in status and also how much it mattered ...the whole novel was basically like that if you were stronger you were in charge and you would get to be an asshole till someone stronger than you come around and than they'll be in charge and you'll become the underdog and
And lastly he wasnt raping him bruh no
They were together and xiaomo liked his man and liked their relationship
But Sure the lack of wholehearted consent in some of their first times bugged me too
Just for clarification; if you agree to sleep with someone in exchange of something else that wont be rape,dosent make it a sweet love story but it's not rape either
Which was the situation for these two in some parts

Good point there. Ling Xiao got straightforward with Momo saying he likes him a lot and he spoils him all the time. And the first times Xiao Mo isn't even willing to be fucked by a man who would be if you're also a man lmao. Xiao Mo telling Ling Xiao to stop when they were having sex is just because it's too much but he is willing to do it. They always do dual cultivation which takes weeks to finish who wouldn't even be tired But I love that Ling Xiao supported Momo with everything that he likes to do. With him refining pills and his cultivation, throughout the whole novel Momo is happy until the end.
Wowow a Chinese historical bl where the seme isn’t toxic love that
