Yall I freaking love high stakes compelling angst plot like this not just straight up abuse and violence then label it as angst NO this one feels like it has substance on it. Also the fact that this universe feels so similar to the hanahaki disease au trope now i’m wondering why authors aren’t taking advantage of the hanahaki disease concept it’ll be really cool to see more angsty plot like these also kudos to those who said this feels similar to solo for two coz i really enjoyed reading that too anyway this somehow feels like a lovechild between solo for two and a painter behind the curtain
whats hanahaki ?
Hello! Hanahaki disease is a very popular fictional disease mostly used in fanfiction tropes due to its very versatile use of angst so basically its a disease where someone coughs up flowers (usually with blood if it gets worse) from their lungs due to unrequited love and the flowers that they cough usually symbolizes the person that they love. The disease makes the character grow flowers in their lungs and it gets worse for the character if their object of affection is not mutually in love with them too so in the end the flowers grow as the feelings grow to the point that in some stories that has this trope a character dies from coughing too much flowers with blood as far as i can remember there’s only 2 cure the first one is that it will disappear if the love is mutual (which is not the case for some which leads to inevitable deaths) and the second one through surgery but there’s a catch once the flowers are surgically removed the romantic feeling that the mc have for the one that they love also disappears (worse case some made it so that when flowers are surgically removed so does their feelings and MEMORY of that loved one so basically amnesia)
Forgot to add that its impossible for the mc to fall in love with the same person when they got the flowers surgically removed, its a rule that when the flowers are removed they can’t fall in love with that person again EVER so yea that’s the hanahaki disease its also a great metaphorical representation of love in its purest and cruelest form since loving someone comes with the physical and emotional pain :’) i just love this trope sm
I really recommended A link between relationships if you like sweet but angsty and with a destiny-type of concept!!
oh my gosh TT now this is ANGST
I have read this one!! Thanks for the recc <3
SAMEEE, I LOVE HANAHAKI AUs, idk if this is true but i recently read somewhere that hanahaki concept is apparently copyrighted which is why it's hard to find them in stories (unless it's a dj i guess?)
Oh my gosh thank you kind angel
right?!? I wish it was more popularized in manhwa settings its my fave trope in fanfics akejkrjdje
OMG TWINNNN YESSSS hanahaki aus for life! Every fandom’s fanfiction aint complete without one
Oh my gosh I saw that it was on my “reading” list maybe i dropped it back then because it was ongoing TYSM I’ll pick it up
HANAHAKI DISEASE MENTIONED AHHHHHHHH FSDFGAGMGHGSDFSDNGDGDF I LOVE READING IT!!!!!!
I just read this in one sitting Oh my god this is so underrated?!? I love it even if people think the ending is shit HEAR ME OUT OKAY i do think the ending is shit too but I love it when the female mc stays true to her words I just wished she traumatized him more by saying “I told you i’ll kill the one you love (which is her)” then dies just like that smiling at him. It would’ve been such a clapback to him. I’ve read like tons of fucked up stories like this like who is the prey or my beloved oppressor but damn this one takes the cake for how incredibly cruel the ml is I KNEW the moment he berated her parents saying they deserved to die and leave the mc I KNEW there was no redeeming and i’m glad mc did truly not love him even if she tried I stand by mcs like her who stays true to their goal by any means she’s not perfect too I FEEL EXTREMELY BAD FOR EVELYN but unlike other mcs she did not falter she accepted how broken she is and continues to batshit through her life like that I wish we had more of this types of stories no happy endings just pure angst till the end I do wish for her, sergey, evelyn, and her maid to be happy in another life this manhwa takes the cake for making my heart feel like its on a rollercoaster ride
OMG YES i was hoping for those exact words because i knew he was in love with her the whole time lol but this hurt more than i expected lol TT ALSO EVEN I READ THIS IN ONE SITTING, ITS 2AM BUT I DONT REGRET
Cmon jump I SAID JUMP!!!
elite reference
Lmaooo thank u for noticing i love the ghost stories eng dub sm
I love this story yall its really complex but never WILL I EVER subject my wife to torment just so she could understand how I feel LIKE TF YOU MEAN I NEED TO TORMENT MY WIFE FIRST TO THE POINT OF EXITING JUST SO SHE COULD HURT THE SAME WAY AS I DID. All these heiner glazers pmo Don’t get me wrong they’re both victims okay Heiner went through an absolute shitfest in the worst way possible okay but the difference is that the one who tormented heiner wasn’t someone he love or have loved he could’ve just get revenge on the father in the case of anette its devastating that the one who put you through such devastation was your own husband whom you love. They are both hurting but my heart hurts a little more for my girlie anette her only sin was that she wasn’t educated enough or aware of what was really happening and she didn’t want anyone to suffer at all meanwhile heiner WAS FULLY AWARE OF HIS ACTIONS he meant to hurt and torment her I love the latest chapter since they’re both trying to move on but them being endgame in the end will put so much strain in their relationship either way i love this story yall i love complex characters I just wanna share my moral compass
Idk how i feel about this although the author did a great job of writing flawed complex characters idk how I feel about this I’m conflicted lol. This story was etched in my heart and my heart still hurts for anette especially the first few episodes like ch 1-20 ish and although I read heiner’s pov I do realize they are both victims but maybe I’m just in my man hating era rn but I still feel so bad for anette bro LIKE SO BADDDD she’s flawed ofc but God does it hurt when the person she loves deliberately hurts her and makes her feel like shit to the point of wanting to exit she’s really strong although i understand why ppl would root for them tgt. For me I just prefer a rather bittersweet one yknow idk please don’t hate me for this i don’t want anette to end up with him but I see the vision of others why they would suit each other in the end but I’m just not a fan of going back to your abuser no matter if he’s change or how gruesome the past is.
That's exactly how I feel. I'm not with either party getting back together. Some may feel differently but even if the abuser was forgiven I still don't think you should get back with them. It just doesn't feel right.
You and me bro
You and me bro
I’m Crying yall This was it THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THANG I HAVE EVER READ I can’t encapsulate it into words but THIS IS THE ROMANCE THAT WE DESERVE everything from the subtle looks, touches, and dialogues is so perfectly done this is romance yall the yearning is insane ugh im putting this with my beloveds (your letter and our youth)
Ml is so fucking annoyiINNNNGNGNGNGGGN AUGGHH i feel like having a hairloss BUT SERIOUSLY she already said that the only reason he cared for her now is because she died and couldn’t handle the pain that comes with it and he tries to gaslight her that it wasnt like that UGH LET ME JUMP INTO THIS SERIES SO I CAN PUSH OFF ML IN THAT BALCONY
RIGHT the gaslighting is real
Im just here for the angst l’m so glad alicia isn’t a white lotus she actually seems nice but she gives off jeanette vibes from wmmap like she’s nice but really not aware of what’s unfolding in her surroundings i wanna say ignorant too i would like to think she just lacks sense but hey’s that’s not bad she’s nice tho
I would say she knows what's going on though. Like I remember in one of the chapter she was angry at mc for taking her with them after their marriage. She knows it but she knows it as well that they r doing this for her and it would be wrong to assume things I would say she even knows that mc likes her bro
Honestly being this ill and only having countable days to live none would look at what's happening in their surroundings they would only think about how much days they have till they unalive-
Omg the runaway arc is here AAAAA can some kind angel spoil it for me please what happened when erna ran away?
bjorn stayed as an asshole, he didn't chase erna and as prideful as he is, he got mad at erna for running away.
OH MY GODDDDDDDDD INSUFFERABLE DECKKKK I thought i was going to read a good grovel spoiler ig not thanks for the spoil pookie
wait so how tf does he win her back?
Well, with him sincerely confessing how he truly feels about the miscarried child under the snow to her I guess
its his way of talking, i hate how he truly cares for erna but because of his attitude it looks like he doesn’t care. But a little but more spoiler, he will chase erna in his own way (frustratingly so).
Ikr he loves her yet always failed to show her how much he actually does hah what a pitiful nobleman
