Reread this after a long time and it's reincited my rage for every ml, is there not a single normal person. Even that Donghyuk guy pisses me off, like the person who got raped in front of you and then disappeared for ages turns back up in a horrible state, fainting and begging for help and you the proceed to bring up their trauma, say how you got off to it and then have sex with them???? Like what??? I don't even remember what happens and quit my re-read at this point.

I say purge the family, redistribute their wealth to the poor, get rid of the other guy, off the rapists as well and give the MC therapy and some supportive friends.

But instead gets stockholm syndrome and have two of his children even though the first one is from rape (from what I remember someone telling me)

idk who’s weird rape fantasy got authorized to be put out but they need to be checked fr.

i skipped through this bs, because i couldn’t stand how much he kept fantasizing about raping her and assaulting her. just to find out he succeeded in doing so, then the lame rat blames her for it and now we’re roped into a dumb drawn out backstory, like we’re supposed to gaf.

i looked through the comments for spoilers hoping shes saved and her bastard fiancé, this sick freak and that loser gets obliterated; only to find out that supposedly after endless amounts of raping, she marries the freak and has his kids.

im not about to waste any more time on this garage.

Oh yeah she called him a filthy pig like 15 years ago, surely justify raping her

My eyes rolled so hard I saw my brain

ts so buns

After I saw someone says he shoots her in her uterus, I haven't been fine since...

guys I'm at like chapter 6 and uhhh is this story ragebait?? like forgive me but this is just sexual assault by your boss but justified cos he's emo sigma sad boy?

I started reading not knowing what was gonna happen, and I regret it now. By chap 15 I was thinking "my girl is gonna kill this guy, u go girl, revolution all the way in" but now but chap 36 I'm smelling bullshit, she got abused in the worst way possible and I can feel that homegirl is gonna be "oh but now he so caring", "he wasn't like this when we were kids" "he must be traumatized by his father's death" answer WORST "I can fix him" dropping right now

I hope ml dies in the most painful way possible. Like I know some of y’all have like some weird ass kinks and enjoy watching the fl suffer, but I hope that you’re not actually shipping them together. If you are, then like… I really don’t know what to say. Get help, touch grass. Until then, stay away from the rest of society.

That's the only coherent thought I can produce right now

I swear this dynamic was also there earlier in the story, I'm getting deja vu

- en & ichii were both turned by megi
- ichii tried to escape megi’s harem by poisoning him but megi spread the poison to kill everyone instead
- megi’s objective with the harem was somehow related to his highness’ goal
- his highness is utsugi
- utsugi seems to be the royal of the old kingdom
- aogi is the knight captain of the original 5 that megi was talking about
- i sus that megi was also one of the original 5

the bottom is so facking good looking as soon as he came on screen i started swinging my tongue around like a whip scruffy gangster men on top (bottom) !!

I recommend reading the reply below first explaining Lee Yeon and Chaewoo’s past and how they’re connected to each other.

Story should be renamed “everybody hates Kiseok” tbh
Things u need to know:
-the Kwons are a gangster affiliation involved in numerous illegal activities behind the scenes, like drugs, child abuse, human traff!ck!ng, etc etc etc.
-Kwon KiSeok has been calling Lee Yeon once a month to check in. He knows everything, man’s got eyes everywhere.
-silly guy Jang BeomHee has been planting Chaewoo’s favorite things around in secret to try and trigger his memories somehow, it’s not working.
-BeomHee has a situationship with a fierce charismatic woman named Joo Dong Mi
-Gyubaek is such a silly billy, such a goated character fr

Kwon are 4 brothers in total
•Kwon Kiseok = head of Kwon family, evil Larry

•Kwon Heejoon = Hacker, cut ties w the Kwon family-> elementary school teacher, goofy goober and number #1 Kiseok anti

•Kwon ? = a rich entrepreneur, cut ties w the Kwon family, #2 Kiseok anti

•Kwon Chaewoo = head of the anti Kiseok movement. ex-cellist -> Kwon racketeer and torturer -> cellist once again



Basically Lee Yeon slowly begins to fall in love w Chaewoo but is still very hesitant.
Throughout the story, Chaewoo will begin to experience triggering headaches caused by things connecting to his memories/past, specifically to things relating to string music/the cello.
Lee Yeon slowly begins to open up to Chaewoo but doesn’t start to deeply fall for him after an incident where they both get captured by drug manufacturers, Lee Yeon is in denial about her feelings for Chaewoo so she goes on blind dates but quickly realizes she wants to be w him. They have sex for the first time.
They become more like a couple after this. And Chaewoo is still a flirtatious horny mf lmao
Things will happen throughout the story like Lee Yeon and Chaewoo being attacked by a Wild Boar, captured by drug manufacturers, the tournaments, landslide incident, etc etc etc.
In the Landslide incident, after Chaewoo gets Lee Yeon into safety he is dragged and knocked out by the force of the landslide. He regains consciousness as the real Kwon Chaewoo and is confused as to where he is and is very cautious. Lee Yeon hits him in the head and pleads for her husband to comeback. He faints and wakes up in the hospital as Husband Chaewoo and they have non stop hospital sex.
They go back to their usual routine, Chaewoo starts working at a Wildlife Rescue Center.

The Spirit Tree: this is where things start to go south.
Lee Yeon has a challenge to cure a sick historical tree named The Spirit Tree that is worshipped by the townspeople. A Shaman stares down Lee Yeon causing her to feel uneasy so they head home. They return the next day and Lee Yeon performs surgery on the tree while a crowd of angry people watch. Chaewoo is also in the crowd and notices the same Shaman staring at him. He starts to get one of those recurring triggering headaches after the Shaman mumbles something from far, the shaman gets closer to Chaewoo and tells him “you’ll be back tonight”. He starts to feel unwell but pushes his discomfort back and proceeds to gift Lee Yeon a wood carving of a Flower.
Lee Yeon planned on telling Chaewoo the truth about how they really met when they returned home but Chaewoo immediately went to sleep. He doesn’t wake up the next morning to Lee Yeon’s surprise and slept for a month.
A month goes by, Chaewoo wakes up after having dreamt about his past. He comes back as the real Chaewoo and he looks around hazily. He goes to Beomhee’s house and demands a full rundown off the past 2 years. Once he’s caught up he is disgusted by Lee Yeon. He decides to continue the husband act until he gathers more information regarding Lee Yeon, Kiseok and his mother’s death.
He’s self medicating in order to remain awake.
Lee Yeon and Chaewoo’s relationship during this time is very up and down. Chaewoo is internally fighting w himself a lot, he’s very hostile towards Lee Yeon but he also can’t help but love and feel attracted to her at the same time. Which makes it really difficult for him to act as her Husband. Lee Yeon can tell there’s something off w Chaewoo and notices how distant he is, she knows he’s been putting up an act but decides to play along as well because she loves him.
Chaewoo’s body eventually reaches his limit after a week of staying awake and finally decides it’s time to leave. Lee Yeon prepares an orchestra as a surprise for Chaewoo, when Chaewoo arrives he walks up to a cellist and grabs the cello just to smash it. He taunts Lee Yeon and makes her cry. He brings up his mom and blames Lee Yeon for selling her back to the Kwon family causing her death. They break up and Chaewoo is taken back to the Kwon residence. Gyubaek is accidentally kidnapped after some Kwon guards trash Lee Yeon’s yard.
Days go by and Lee Yeon is still incredibly depressed and the spirits tree had died. It was poisoned and she knows Chaewoo had something to do with it.
She starts feeling better after talking to her friend Joo Dong Mi (A woman who worked w Chaewoo in the Wildlife rescue center, she was hooking up w BeomHee and he ghosted her lol).
Lee Yeon finds out she’s 12 weeks pregnant and decides to move on. She plans a funeral for Chaewoo and buries the wood flower carving he had gifted her and bids him goodbye.
Lee Yeon contacts Kiseok and demands he give back Gyubaek, he negotiates w her and they both come to an agreement. Lee Yeon is to serve 1 month of her gardening skills in order to get Gyubaek back so she goes to the Kwon Residence.
Chaewoo had been in a deep sleep and finally wakes up after a month and immediately tries to look for his wife but immediately remembers he was back home and isn’t w Lee Yeon. He begins to experience internal conflict as he struggles w his identity as the real Chaewoo and the husband Chaewoo.
He decides to not sleep for as long as he can again and begins to hallucinate a sleeping Lee Yeon wherever he goes.
Lee Yeon arrives to the Kwon main house and Chaewoo mistakes her as a hallucination but quickly realizes it’s actually her and thus begins the most delicious angsty slow burn I’ve read in a long time lol.
Chaewoo is very impatient and slightly rough w Lee Yeon at first and Lee Yeon is very strict and stands her ground.
Chaewoo gets more and more pathetically desperate the more Lee Yeon rejects him, especially after he finds out she’s pregnant (he decides to act like he doesn’t know and waits for her to tell him instead out of respect for her).
He finally accepts his love for her and tries his best to be patient w her, as difficult it is to keep his hormones in check whenever he’s around her.
A lot of things happen during this time too. Sex party, shootings, etc. all while Chaewoo is actively trying to take Kiseok down w the help of his other hot older brother, Kwon Heejoon.
Lee Yeon is forced to accompany Kiseok to an event introducing a new drug. Chaewoo accidentally takes this drug and trips out. Lee Yeon witnesses him cry and talk to hallucinations of his mom and of Lee Yeon expressing his sorrow and regrets.
After witnessing Chaewoo’s drugged up confessions, Lee Yeon decides to give him an impossible task. He has to find a way to fix the Spirit Tree he had killed. If he finds a way to fix the problem then she’d accept him back in her life. Days go by and it’s Lee Yeon’s last day in the Kwon residence. Chaewoo finally comes up w a solution for the dead Spirit tree. He meets Lee Yeon outside in the rain and passionately plays the cello for her for the very first time since his mother’s death. He cries and hugs the instrument and vows to play forever in place of the dead Spirit tree. Lee Yeon accepts and they get back together. And it’s so cute it’s probably my favorite moment.
Another incident happens when Lee Yeon returns to Hwaido w Gyubaek on a boat, Lee Yeon is hurt after being kidnapped but all goes well with the help of Gyubaek, BeomHee, Heejoon, guard dogs and ofc Chaewoo.
Chaewoo manages to take over as head of the Kwon Business (he locked Kiseok in a basement lol) and lives in Hwaido w Lee Yeon. As promised, he plays the cello in the exact spot where the Spirit Tree once stood. He wants to marry Lee Yeon but Lee Yeon is reluctant and rejects him. She just wants to date for now.
BeomHee and Dong Mi are an official couple and are no longer a situationship yippie, Gyubaek is Chaewoo’s wingman it’s funny, Chooja disapproves of Chaewoo but is willing to accept after Chaewoo offers his 3rd older brother to her lmao, They’re expecting a baby girl, Chaewoo takes care of housework and is experiencing Sympathetic Pregnancy symptoms….and yes Chaewoo is still a horny mf
Chaewoo plans a baby shower for Lee Yeon. Gyubaek is excited to be a big brother (no they don’t adopt him but they might as well) and writes a book for baby Namwoo (she’s not born yet). End.

What the hell is that professional rapist

bruh

that's fucked up, he wasn't even the one who started the rumor, that rumor had been circling around even before Inu commented on it, yet he locked in on Inu, what an ass （￣へ￣）

ajussi pls be bottom

I need to say this since I’ve been waiting for this beautiful masterpiece to blow up for two years now … the author depicts the characters, especially geom’s psychological struggles so realistically and relatably that I’m actually concerned for the author. Like, who the HELL did she interview?? How much research did she do?? Is SHE okay??? It’s shocking to me how amazingly Geom’s hyper sexuality, trauma bond, avoidance, hyper vigilance and fawning is depicted. I don’t know how the author knew so much about coping mechanisms in exploitation and rape, but my god it was awfully real imo.

I mentioned this before but I’ll say it again, a lot of the rape scenes are draw so graphically for a reason; it puts US in the eyes of his rapists, which makes everything a million times more awful to read. At no point did I feel like the author INTENDED for the rape scenes to turn you on, it was sexualized at parts but only because we are in the perspectives of the rapists (zoom-ins, disembodied parts, etc.)

Some scenes where Geom just visualizes himself after the rape just in complete darkness strikes me as really disturbing because we’re seeing a reflection of his inner mind. In the chapter when he was raped at Rieder’s party, where it depicted him lying lifelessly and covered in semen, was actually gut wrenching to me. It felt disgusting and repulsive and sexual in a very, very intentional way, and I found myself relating a lot to that image.

Geom’s early years was also fucking insanely realistic, how he coped by “flirting” with older men, how it got him “gifts” and how he then learned that flirting and seducing people was the best way to defuse a situation (we can see that during university, when he said “I’m a virgin” whenever he was attacked/insulted.)

The author really, really needs a wellness check.

I’m glad MC got his revenge, but honestly, I wanted Reider to suffer more. Maybe he’s already suffering, but I thought he would be imprisoned or convicted too. But after learning that he's gradually losing his sight, though, I think a slow suffering is much better than ending his life. I could say that of all the characters, I hated Reider the most.

On the other hand, I thought I would dislike Kim Hong because, for the first few chapters, he seemed like he was lusting after Geom. Surprisingly, though, he’s the character I’ve come to love, aside from the main characters. His loyalty and love, in whatever form that may be, could’ve passed as a second male lead, but I’m glad he didn’t impose his feelings on Geom. It feels like his love is more inclined toward loyalty than lust.

All in all, it’s surprising how attached I’ve become to the characters. I really hope Geom seeks professional help, though. I’m hoping for side stories where I can finally see more of Geom and Wooyeon being happy together.
