I caught up to the raws and I love this alpha and omega dynamic very much. For once the alpha and omega are in the same standing they're both working at the same position at a company so theres no power imbalance. It's a breath of fresh of air not seeing the cliches (CEO's/in debt omegas). They are both smart and hardworking and looks like they're going to fall in love mutually like a pair of idiots

My issue with the ml is not that he's sleeping around with countless randos, but that he's purposely being malicious towards the mc. The ml knows the mc has pure feelings towards him and takes advantage of these feelings, even goes as far as show off he's just had s3x with a woman in front of him. Through his actions he's technically saying "I can sleep with everyone but you have to be loyal to me" bs. The trashy ml isolates the mc and prevents him from forming any other relationship. The ml sabotages any potential moment for the mc to meet someone new. It's creepy and annoying. The ml sees the mc crying but instead regretting being an asshole or maybe giving him space, the ml feels happy that the mc is miserable while he has his own groupchat of sleeping partners.

people in these comments both need to understand this is a nuanced topic. That said, I support sex workers because they are people and because they are human beings who deserve to feel safe no matter what their job is. It's not our fault that men have created a lucrative market out of objectifying ourselves, but I don't think it's an occupation that we should desire to push on to newer generations. in this plot we don't know if the uke actually chose this profession slash side hustle on their own with a healthy mentality or if they were groomed into it like other stories. It is important everyone approaches a situation with an open mind especially since we only have one chapter out but also be mindful and do some research before you go advocating as if it is empowering. Social media has also influenced many young women into thinking this profession is peak empowerment when in reality for most cases sadly prostitution normalizes the commodification of women/men and if you do your research theres a long list of resources on how the porn industry affects women, LGBT+ and POC - including testimonies from MANY women who were previously in the porn industry. In my country thousands of girls go missing every month and these unsolved cases are led to believe many of these missing young people are being trafficked. The percentage of people who actually are mentally healthy and want to do this is extremely small

idk why people think sex work is empowering. it’s literally statistically proved that sex workers live shorter lives. sex workers in america on average live to their late 30s, while the average american lifespan is about 70 years. +most porn promotes violence to women, and so many people are trafficked for porn specifically. u also can’t forget the sexualization of minors, promotion of incest, etc. like u can figure this out by just going on pornhub and looking at the titles. idc if anyone decides to be a prostitute, i can’t really have a say on whether or not people want to watch porn, bc i’m on this website which is like majority porn.

Okay so this is a total of six chapters. Honestly I expected more angst but I'm happy overall with how the plot unfolded. So the Hao (mc) and Yanghua (ml) go on a horse together looking for Laoshi (the missing kind teacher). They go to his old house and there Yanghua and Hao get closer. Yanghua plays an instrument and hao blushes because he looks cool. Yannghua accidentally knocks over a vase thing which hao gets mad but they end up show their vulnerable sides. Yanghua sees an endearing side of hao and kisses hao, hao reciprocates the kiss but then wakes up and blushes, running out the house in gay panic. Back at Yanghuas home, hao is still blushing and his emotions are unstable because he's feelings are becoming stronger so he avoids Yanghua. He starts to think about what type of person yanghua is, he's very kind and airheady, kinda dumb but he has a good heart always helping people out despite being a young master. Just as Ran (servant) had previously said, the young master yanghua makes a lot of airhead mistakes but he's got a kind heart. Yanghua realizes he's being avoided and he worries hao might have ran away/gotten hurt so he runs to find hao and they end up in a chaotic hug but in that moment a man with a pair of arrows (he looks like a hunter?) appears. He takes them to Laoshi!!! Turns out Laoshi passed out in the middle of the forest and the man with arrows saved him and nursed him back to health, so I'm guessing thats their own little love story (bow chicka wow wow) and hao hugs Laoshi and cries. Yanghua bows to the ground asking for forgivness. And then Yanghua confesses he truly loves hao and hao tears up as well and blushes. Laoshi looks happy for them. Last chapter is sweet and calm and Laoshi and Hao sleep together aye. Btw I did not buy the version that has a special extra.
Is anyone else confused? In chapter 5 Soma says "I'm not in love with him...is what I'd like to claim, but I don't think I can" he's talking about how he still is in love with his exboyfriend Yosida but he also asks out Wataru that same moment.....and in Ch 6 Yoshida says during their new years hang out, soma told him "the moment I asked Wataru out was when I completely moved on from you". so what is the truth..the new years hang out was way before Wataru dyed his hair black too
The way I understood it is that he still had some feelings left for the ex, but was already in love with Wataru. That usually happens when you jump from one relationship to another too soon. It's not like he wanted to come back to his ex, but he still had some leftover feelings. Still, Soma's EQ is fucking awful, I'm impressed by how tolerant Wataru can be
I wish the writer could have made the plot and soma character coherent to clear up the confusion since he's saying one thing to Wataru and something completely different to Yoshida. If he were completely over Yoshida like he claimed then there would be no need to invite his ex to a personal celebration dinner that was for Wataru's achievement in securing a career. I guess Soma's character was just all over the place saying things and inconsistent for me
