After reading chapter one what came into my mind is I wanna see Minato wipe off that smug face on Kagami and sure didnt disappoint!
This story isnt bad at all at best it is refreshing. Kagami may be in his 30's but he got stuck in his teen years. And I really like Minato's personality. He's headstrong and and straightforward. He didnt mope around and felt sorry for himself after being rejected, he pushed his feelings but knows his boundaries which made Kagami insecure. Minato fell first but Kagami fell harder hehe

Im really, really looking forward seeing the 2nd generation grow up. Will Euiyoung become part of Taeju's family business? I wanna see him grow up as suave, composed alpha but so adorbs in front of Euihyun and jellyfish. Will his love interest be Wonyoung's son/daughter?

I really doubt euihyoung is gonna be with the girl
I’m pretty sure he’s gonna be with one of his friends bc if I remember correctly the author did a short story with a character that looks like euihyoung and the blonde haired boy.
And I think someone told me that he’s gonna be with that friend but idk.

Did I catch it right? The reason the professor is saying Doram's brother is alive is so that he will try to go to his brother and that's where they plot to kill him?
EDIT: ALSO IS THE GUY BESEIDE HIM EARLIER THE HAWK THAT WAS EATEN?? IS HE ALSO LIKE A SOME SORT OF MAGICAL BEING? WHOA? SO IS THE CROWN PRINCE ALSO LIKE THAT?
Also my theory is that Doram will still try to escape and look for the "brother" then he might be idk tagged as killed somewhere then the concubine will become the new crown princess then boom turn out Doram is still alive and will be devastated to see he was "replaced" and will think the crown prince no longer loves him something like that.

I just feel the crown prince just went along with his position just as so he can free Doram as a slave and be officially married with him since we all know he will not have that chance given theyre both male plus he is royalty. Then when finally get that he will just wait until his successor is ready then off he goes with Doram. Personal feelings aside, maybe why he is very against getting a concubine even if just for the sake of an heir bec this will make him be tied longer in the palace.
It's not about the blessing per se, it's about how his father's influence could affect them in the long run. I mean Ukano is a catch, and let's admit Uke is a not so well known manga artist. I mean I would want to at least have son in law who's almost on par with my son so at least I'll have the peace of mind.
Tbh, I think the dad Ukano, being sly and cunning as he is, saw the potential in uke and is aware him not having the confidence. That's why he stressed the fact that he is sticking to a series that does not sell and used his influence to cancel it. Maybe he wants him to start fresh and aim higher and use Ukano being his editor to help him succeed. I mean that's what partners should do right?
I agree but the dad is being intentionally antagonistic for his own entertainment. His thought process and actions themselves aren’t problematic but the same water than hardens the egg will soften the potato. You can’t just say harsh words to everyone and expect them to be fine mentally and emotionally after that. Especially as a fox! Aren’t they meant to be able to tell at a glance the words you wanna hear the most so they can manipulate you better? Unless he’s being mean on purpose to prove he’s NOT manipulating?? I don’t know.
He's not just putting the pressure to uke, but he is mostly putting it on Ukano. That's the reason why he is cunning. Forget about the fox trait, he knows his son better. He knows how bad he wants the uke so he got him dancing in his palm like that. If the uke's editor isnt Ukano, I doubt he will make that challenge. Im not saying dad did the right thing, but not all manipulators use sweet words. They can also shatter you so that it'll be easier ti remold you into something they want better. Ukano's family is tremendously rich and influential. The world they live in is tough, so if uke will be shaken only by those harsh words, then that just proves he doesnt deserve a big shot like him.
I’m aware not all manipulators use sweet words. I was raised by 2 narcissists. But the thing manipulators have in common is that they have to lure you in with sweetness. Him holding uke’s manga over his own son’s head is NOT how you cultivate a healthy relationship with your son or son-in-law. Like I said, the same water that hardens the egg will soften the potato. Just cause this bs might have worked on his eldest son who clearly had a bad relationship with a prey animal, doesn’t mean this will make ukano want to rely on his father. That’s what this all boils down to. Everyone has a breaking point when they stop tolerating abuse and say “fuck it. Do your worst. I’m done.” And if dad keeps pushing the couple and saying “no blessings for you and I’ll ruin your beloved’s life~”, no child who loves someone will care for a parent after that. You can’t set someone up for failure and then blame them when they don’t succeed. Maybe not now, but eventually they will clock on and he will be in a nursing home because no one from his family cares enough to stay in the same room as him. Money be damned. Most people just wait for their narc relatives to die so they can get the inheritance or not and move on with their lives.
Also ukano isn’t a big shot. He’s an editor at a company not owned by his dad. He’s currently maybe upper working class BUT THATS STILL WORKING CLASS! His dad’s money isn’t his own.
