i already forgot all their names but is mc's late wifes ex (sigurds father) the love interest? If so, SHOULD I BE PREPARED FOR ANGST because I imagine their relationship being built on lies considering that's all mc is doing but I also wanna believe that if he's the ml that mc's feelings are genuine because if otherwise then idk I'LL SOB.

Also I freaking hate how downplayed the situations are like he got sa'd and his reaction was just so????? I don't even know how to describe it. Not only that but the duke and the prince are so obsessive and possessive and it's especially scary because of the power they hold but again HIS REACTION IS SO LITTLE. I feel bad kinda because what if his reaction is so little because atp hes used to it :sob:

Possible spoiler:
Ah no, sis. It's actually not that deep. No offense. But like, he's like that because one reason only: he believes the guy he secretly loves did it. If you note how he blushed when he thought he was going to get kissed many chapters ago. Also note that he said he'd forgive everything to that same guy after deciding it must have been him. Now, don't get me wrong, generally speaking, anyone would question what just happened. He simply was okay with it when he considered their history. Not everyone would be okay with it obvi but our MC is so lets just ride and let him be him. Also, its in his perspective that he's in a sim, and his main goal is to play through without a hitch. Please don't take it to heart. I actually thought the way he looked at it to be kinda refreshing. Why make his life harder by fretting on something he was willing to be cool with? Author probably also considered not making it deep so the readers could enjoy the read. I humbly would like to enjoy the read. Thank you so much. I don't want anyone to hold onto negative emotions when reading through anything both in the main read and comments. I appreciate that you felt a connection enough to feel bad, but no need. Please enjoy fully the wonderful story. If you ever feel like it's not for you, try taking a break and come back later, or try another read, there's a whole world out there that can explored. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ ヾ(☆▽☆)

ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ of course! I noticed it for awhile that he had a thing for him. He's just kinda shy. And maybe wants to make sure his cousin ends up with him so he can change the ending. But the story has already probably changed so much but our MC hasn't noticed how much yet hehe ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ I wonder how it all turns out!!ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

Possible spoilers::
Hm, in these moments I re-read the whole story. Cause sometimes the updates take awhile which is ok, but I get what you mean. I looked back and it's c.15. But I suggest re-reading from the 1st chapter for the best impact. Cause you might notice many other things hehe (=・ω・=) ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
why are people not talking about how they're STEP SISTERS. Yes they're not blood related, yes the author technically isn't actually her step sister, but mc is still in the step sisters body and they both obviously see each other in a romantic(or jst straight up horny lol) light which uh for those who somehow don't understand IT'S PLAIN INCEST SINCE THEY'RE SIBLINGS. The story is so freaking good why'd they have to make them step sisters </3
pls don't throw your morality away because the story is good and the art is drop dead gorgeous T-T it doesn't change that their relationship is pretty problematic (/TДT)/
Step-siblings do not fall under traditional incest laws because they are not biologically related. These laws typically focus on preventing sexual relationships and marriages between individuals who share a close genetic relationship. Since step-siblings are related through marriage rather than blood, they are generally not subject to incest prohibitions. However, societal and cultural norms can vary. Some families or communities might view relationships between step-siblings as inappropriate due to the familial bond, even if they are not legally considered incestuous. It's always important to consider the specific legal and cultural context when evaluating these relationships.
It should be noted that opinions may differ on this issue, and individuals can have a variety of views based on their personal experience and beliefs. Acceptability of stepsibling relationships is subjective and can be influenced by the particular context and culture norms in society where they are taking place.
We don't talk about it because most of know that this is FICTION. There are bl fans who read stories filled with fcking rape and abuse (which are far worse than this story) and I don't see anyone complaining about them. Like can you chill, this literally just fiction. And also they are STEP-siblings. They aren't related by blood. If you think this is bad, then maybe you should leave this site, cuz there are stories that are far worse than this. Or maybe go complain about stories that are actually bad (like some bl rape stories).
LITERALLY OMG. The story could've been sm better if they weren't related
Fr bro every fucking Chinese baihe and danmei i know has sooo many fucking step sibling relationship it's insane like there's this drama I wanted to watch and that shi also had adopted brother relationship bullshit and I'm like aghhh
THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING ME FEEL CRAZY idk how people could defend it jst because there's other problematic stories dude just because another story has more problematic aspects doesnt take away the fact that their step-sibling relationship IS BADDD.
Can you explain to me using logic why a relationship between step siblings is wrong?
It feels weird, sure, but there's no actual logical reason for why those two people shouldn't be allowed to date.
True. I don't see any prerequisites for there to be incest.
General Prerequisites (I searched):
1. Biological Relation: Neither both of them are blood related to each other since it was a marriage of convince for the mother of Meng Nian to be rich.
2. Degree of Consanguinity: They're both sisters due to marriage but no blood relation.
3. Legal Prohibitions: Sexual relationships or marriages between full siblings (sharing both parents) and half-siblings (sharing one parent) are almost universally prohibited. However, in Gu Xing and Meng Nian's case they're both stepsiblings so I don't think there's any restrictions unless it's due to the country's jurisdiction for it's prohibitions.
4. Sexual Activity: Incest Law typically focus on sexual activity between the relatives. Marriages, sexual intercourse, or any other sexual relations between prohibited relatives are considered incestuous. In Gu Xing and Meng Nian's case, they're not blood related.
5. Age and Consent: In cases involving minors, additional considerations apply. Even if the individuals involved are not closely related, sexual activity with a minor is illegal and may fall under other legal statutes such as statutory rape or child sexual abuse. For incest, the age of consent laws apply to determine whether the relationship is consensual and legal within the context of age.
6. Affinity in Some Jurisdictions: Some legal systems also consider relationships by affinity (through marriage) as incestuous under certain circumstances, such as step-parent/step-child or step-siblings, especially if they were raised together as siblings. In Gu Xing and Meng Nian's case, they were not raised together from the start so they both don't have any familial bond within them neither do they see each other as sisters in terms of family.
Then again, societal attitudes towards step-sibling relationships can vary. Some people may still find such relationships socially taboo or morally questionable, especially if the step-siblings were raised together from a young age and consider themselves to have a sibling-like bond. Nonetheless, from a legal perspective, step-siblings are typically allowed to marry each other in most jurisdictions.
Oof my bad, I apologize. They were (I think if I reread it right) raised together, but some how they don't form a familial bond with each other nor sibling-like bond (I can't delete my reply before now I'll sound dumb RIP to me)
And also, the author is in the Gu Xing's body. As for Meng Nian, girl's mind is probably too broken from the slaps that she fell for her stepsis
