This is probably the only series where the MC did everything wrong in his past yet makes my heart clench for him as he desperately tries his shot at happiness despite everything.
Second ML becomes ML here? Past love instantly erasing previous crush? This has all the ingredients to be a huge hit for me and I am fucking sold.

Out of all the series I’m following, this is the most intriguing and one I’m obsessively following the most. The top has quirky yet princely traits and yet his character description says he’s also a regretful top? (Meaning he will chase the MC back due to some regret he have)
It’s being serialized on bomtoon and it’s making me deciding to go ahead with getting age verified there. The artist/author is very new and deserves all the support. Her artwork is breathtaking!

I have finished the novel, read thru in one night omg. All I can say is, wow. Green flag ml, good plot, hot smut - this novel has it all. It was the last leg of the story that made me sit up and pay closer attention, and I’m happy to say that it nailed the ending on such a satisfactory note which is more than I can say for some KR works right now. Both MC and ML character developed equally. Worth following to the very end. Has very positive reviews, and I totally agree with all of them.
I also bought the novels off ridibooks, as I get this inquiry a lot.

1) He is Shinru’s love interest. 2) And he gets ravaged by Shinru. 3) Yes, he bottoms for Shinru. 4) Shinru is absolutely and completely a top. 5) His feelings for Yuri consumes him at a level which his ‘obsession’ with Taeui couldn’t even compare.
Yuri was the one who fell for Shinru first, albeit still maintaining his professionalism. Later on in the novel, Shinru took his time but he falls HARDER for Yuri (it’s a case of ‘he fell first, the other falls harder’.) Shinru’s character development ties in very closely with his relationship with Yuri, and they explore even questions like ‘does Shinru really like Taeui or was he just pissed Ilay stole something from him.’ Something Shinru was seething over because Yuri asks questions that hit straight at his areas of weaknesses. Shinru can’t hide anything from Yuri but Yuri himself can’t hide from Shinru as well.
Tbh I love this pairing and I actually look forward to them more than the main pairing. Their side story Raga was enthralling to the end.

And the director ML will grovel big time later. His desperation will hit the roof. MC had a reason for being traumatized.
Edit : I purchased my books from Ridibooks. And when I edited my post, replies disappeared fror some reason. But yeah, wait for the sheer desperation, how it knocked ML off his smug pedestal. Not that I'm happy when a simple communication could resolve their misunderstanding, but with all its flaws, it felt good to see ML taken down a peg or two.
Mr Yuri Gable, just be patient and wait before Xinlu gets over his Tae phase, because after that, you have no idea what’s coming for you.
I have a queation and i reckon you are a novel reader. In their relationship (in the future) who has the upper hand?
Oh god not a side couple
Hmm, I’ll keep it a vague as I can, but Xinlu is the precious young master of his household, so he’ll always have that bossy countenance. You’ll also see that Yuri in the manhwa is always still and gentle, not very reactive. This is exactly how he loves, and it’s also a huge factor that causes Xinlu to be anxious and reacts explosively or at times go overboard (not to Ilay’s scale, I consider Xinlu lightweight) Xinlu does break down at one point, which stuns Yuri as well. I guess you can say Xinlu is the reactive one, but Yuri also affects the dynamic with well, being himself? lol. I consider them more as equals in that bodyguard/young master type of relationship.
Oh wow, that's interesting. On a real note is Xinlu still you know.. a top?
Always has been.
(It’s in his blood lol)
Pls spoil me on how they even start falling in love ??! Who falls first !?? I’m so excited for their story
Oh fear not because they’ll HAVE THEIR OWN WEBTOON in three weeks skddoosjdoss (btw it’s Yuri who fell)
