As a fellow novel reader even I’m confused. The best way to describe it is, no matter how hard taekjoo tries to escape Zhenya will always follow. That and somehow through all the horrible things Zhenya put him through he actually grew feelings for Taekjoo. He’s been tamed. Taekjoo just learned to accept it and eventually grew feelings for the monster. It’s super fucked up and how they managed to actually end up together still haunts me after reading the novel.

It used to be on chrysanthemum garden however it got deleted due to copyright reasons the next best one that you can read is on Ao3 however it’s some misspelling here and there and they don’t have the side stories. I can’t find the one that did but I’m going to link the one that’s okay as far as translation. Hope it helps

Can a novel reader please spoil now on earth these 2 wind up together. Because being drugged, violently raped (ML even contemplating raping MC to death), and then being killed (attempted but ML thought it succeeded) all seem like real breakers to me. Without mind break or stalkholme syndrome there really is no believable way. I NEED spoilers.
